http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/6832 ... p04wh1.png[/img] - The Pawrayknaw. A ship that's overly skilled in projectile weapons and ramming. If this one rams you, your life will drop dramatically. It's attacks are significantly quick as well. This one can and will destroy you almost instantly. Life: 1; Designed by brainstorm and arctrooper

http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/8867 ... ht3ac7.png[/img] - The RoseThorn. The Human piloted 'RoseThorn' Ship. Life: 4 + Level

Spoiler: RoseThorn Edits

I was thinking that these edits could be obtained by unlocking and completing certain missions with a 5 star rating(Oh Crap! You probably don't know what those are.). They can be added to the RoseThorn between missions and are designed to be used based upon personal preference. Basically their upgrades that you can decide to use or not.

A Few UFOs  Sorry about the size of the graphic. Hopefully, I will be able to fill that graphic completely. But yeah, most of those graphics are the result of me scrampling around Spriters Resource for Cool Sea Animal References. Killer Whale, Trilobite, and Ancient Squid were inspired by Ecco the Dolphin... ...

AlphaSlug in Database Mode. Ugh...Not really a mode... more of a helper, to get the story straight.
http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/9269/titlech2.png[/img]
AlphaSlug's new title screen. Ugh...Windowskin is temporary... Unless I can't get myself to do a new windowskin.

More to come, maybe.

 

[Venetia]

Wow, that ship with the squid hanging off is incredibly badass o_o

 

[Clizzz]

Ohh, that's shexy. I'm interested to know what these will be used for? A traditional game of Battleships on RMXP or a not-so-traditional game?

 

[Grathea]

Wow.
I have to agree with Ven on this one.
That is one badass ship.

Squid on a muthaf**king boat!

 

[Hanzo Kimura]

Ohh, that's shexy. I'm interested to know what these will be used for? A traditional game of Battleships on RMXP or a not-so-traditional game?

i think its for VX because the topic icon he used is the "VX" one...
well however it can still be used in rmxp...

anyway,
i like how it was designed...
but i think you should decrease the contrast and outline
i just don't feel the way it was but still its cool
^_^
im going to look for more,
keep it up ^_^

 

[brainstorm]

Ohh, that's shexy. I'm interested to know what these will be used for? A traditional game of Battleships on RMXP or a not-so-traditional game?

yeah it's for rmvx. I won't tell you much of the details because I don't know if I'll finish the systems due to frustration... but you gave me an good idea...

But anyway, thanks, all.

 

[Arrow-1]

Wicked cool business, man. I really like em. Care to explain the random crack in the human ship's window though?

 

[brainstorm]

It was supposed to be a little light definition but I guess it didn't work. I tried to use the same technique with the new WIP...

Oh yeah... Check out that new WIP... The CanonBlaster.

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

These ships you've made are magnificent, kinda like a fantasy rendition to DoDonPachi or to Strikers 1945 :D

 

[brainstorm]

Wow Thanks.... DoDonPachi... Was that arcade game where you went around blasting other planes, right? I think I've played that game before...

Anyway, yeah thanks. Spent all of today finishing CanonBlaster and setting up the systems for Enemy Projectiles... Need to work on an error tomorrow. So what do you guys think of CanonBlaster?

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

Blasting other planes is more accurately described to Strikers 1945 I to III and DoDonPachi is a Vert Bullet Hell shooter game actually.

 

[brainstorm]

Hmm... really?

Well All that I did today was script. I did get screenshots of the title screen, the database mode, and finished 'The Torpedo' the suicide bomb. C n C?

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

That's nice and say, the game would take place in space but what's up with the squid-clung wooden ship boss? He/she/it looked like out of place...

 

[Fido]

I <3 the hidden demo link.  It's pretty good, but a tad laggy.

 

[brainstorm]

*sigh* Yes the hidden link. I added that a couple days ago. The second demo the systems I've released is somewhere in the topic.

The boat/ squid does look out of place... but does it not look cool? Plus, it gives variety and a lil laughter maybe?

so yeah...

Pawrayknaw has been added. He's basically a combination of the torpedo and canonblaster but he's very dangerous.

Added a custom windowskin.

2 Screenshots Added of The new windowskin I made, and the first in-game shot.

so what do you think of them?

EDIT:: I'm having trouble thinking of new ships. if anyone would like to help, I'd very much appreciate it. I'll credit you as well

 

[Sonata]

There's another hidden link? I can't find It.

Nice work though! Are you developing a USG sorta' game?

Also I'd suggest you don't use that purple tile, I'll assume It's a place holder.

 

[brainstorm]

Yes... I'm trying to recreate a USG-esque game... but hima is very talented. I doubt I can pull-off something of that stature but I'm definately trying.

No the purple tile isn't a placeholder...

 

[Sonata]

Oh, I don't know If you saw what I said on Chat, but I don't even think you need a tile there. Unless It serves some purpose I don't know of?

 

[brainstorm]

Sorry for the delay... My internet was acting up. But yeah, I don't know. I like the tiles being there because without them the screen looks bare to me... I dunno.


I added a ship and updated two images. I'm working on an image for mission end screen.

 

[Despain]

holy fucking shit this makes me want to make a shmup. why have I not seen this topic before, spam your threads in irc more often man.

The styling of these shits is really great, I love how they're slightly cartoony. Once you post more screens of the ships in action I'll have more to say regarding consistency and stuff, because for now there's not much I can really see that strikes out as wrong.
