This is what the game is looking like in 'play' mode. I'm having some trouble getting the camera movements right and the shooting set up. I'm working on the issue now and hope to have it fixed soon so I can move onto something else. 

I'm adding in the alien spawning now. I will have about 500 little aliens spawning randomly at the start of the level all over the map. 500 sounds like a lot but they are small aliens as to make it more challenging
to hit them. So there will be just a bunch of little aliens running around and away from you and you need to try to shoot them as quick as you can.

Landscape! this is the world I have set up for my space game. The middle of the land isn't important, that will just be a blank area, you wont be able to see it once you're playing. 

Alright, Space adventure update!

It's been quite awhile since I last made a post, been busy with other assignments. I have lots to say about my game as I have changed quite a bit on my idea.

I have decided to change the style of my game. It's still going to be a shooter but more like a theme park ride now. The player will follow a marked path in their spaceship shooting at the aliens walking around on the path.

The point is to see how many aliens you can shoot before the ride ends. The game can be played over and over again to try and best the previous score.

I have 2 different alien models, a space ship and a person/alien to go in the ship.

I haven't got much done on the game so far, but there shall be more updates on my progress over the weekend.

So far I have the space ship moving alone the marked path, however I'm having some trouble getting the camera to move properly.
I have the shooting working, just having a few issues involving the camera with the movement of the shooting aim.
Plenty more work to be done. It's time to add in the alien spawning.
More updates later.

Blog Game Laaaaaaaaaand!

I'm just making one point of the star for my land and it shall be amazing O.O ! 

I have just the basics down so far, I haven't added any 3D models yet but I have places to put them. I plan on just getting the landscape ready for them first. 

It's looking nice I think :)

Space Game

My super awesome drawing below shoes kinda what I want my game to be for the next Coding assessment. The game play will be kinda like space invaders but 3D. On the screen there will be aliens walking towards you and you must shoot them to defend yourself. 

Different colour aliens will be worth different amounts of points. If the aliens get too close you will die and get game over. 

That's all I have so far, more updates later. 

more detailed map

Map details..... sort of

I have added more detail to the layout of the map. 

Each colour is a different section of objective. The middle of the star is the starting point and the each point on the star has a different item you need to collect. 

The sections of the star are things like at the yellow line there will be a blockage where you need to answer a riddle to pass through. 

The blue area (kinda hard to see) that will have and obstetrical of enemies to defeat in order to continue.

The blank areas I haven't worked out what to put there yet or what detail each place will have. But I have a few different ideas I will be improving on soon.
