STORY :
You are Kyte, one of the pilots in the 'U.S.G' Project. You have been trained by 'The Center' to be prepared for the 'true battle' that lies ahead of you. Though nobody knows what this 'true battle' really is, all they can do is follow the training program and protect their base from the 'invaders'.
  Together with his assigned navigator , Len, they have to go through various missions in order to survive. However, the suspicious risen when not only the pilot who fail the mission disappeared, but also their personal navigators as well. Will he succeed in all the missions and survive long enough to find out the truth? And just what is this "U.S.G" project he seems to be into?

Kyte
The hero of the game. He's young and naive. However, he seems to have a great sense of survival. He love fighting and challenges, but killing is another story for him.

02_Len01.png

Len
Kyte's personal navigator. She's talkative - VERY talkative. And sometimes that annoys Kyle a bit. However, under the easy-going looks, she's actually a deep person and very clever as well. She'll help Kyte out in many situation, such as informing him about the incoming threats. 

03_Chuck01.png

Chuck A.K.A. Bulky Chin
One of the pilot in the U.S.G project. Nobody really understand what he's talking since he always talk in a manly powerful way with only just two words like 'Chuck! Happy!' which might mean 'I'm feeling terrific right now to eventually be in the real mission, Wahaha!!' It seems like Kiki is the only one who understand what's he saying. 

08_KiKi01.png

Kiki
Chuck's personal navigator. Although she's small and appear to be a little kid, she's actually as old as the other competitor. Still, her childish personality doesn't help proving that fact. She's really attach to Chuck, and since not so many people understand what Chuck say, it turns out she'll do the translator task more often that the navigator's one.

04_Lynk01.png

Lynk A.K.A. Pretty Boy
One of the pilot in the U.S.G project. He's obsessed with beauty. Thinking that he's in higher class and more beautiful than the rest of the competitors, it causes bad impression of his to many people. However, he's actually a nice guy, if you can stand all his self-praising.  Although he looks like he can't beat anyone in arm-wrestling, he's actually a very clever person and love to destroy his enemies with tricky attack.

09_GoldieFlowen01.png

Gold D Blumen
Lynk's personal navigator. People also call her Ice Queen, due to her cold attitude. Somehow, she has become a friend of Kiki and Len. She doesn't talk much, and it seems like people prefer it that way since everytime she opens her mouth it's either sarcasm or praising Lynk's and her beauty.

05_Ashjee01.png

Dr. Ashjee
  A mysterious doctor who appear to be the one who's behind everything. But what is her true purpose?

Strengths and Weaknesses
  There are five elements of attack in the game, which are : Non-elemental, Fire, Ice, Electric and Wind.  Each enemy has their strengths and weaknesses that will cause them to react differently to these five elements. For example, enemies who are strong against fire will take less damage from fire attack. But if they are weak against ice, they'll take at least double damage from ice attack.
  However, you can only pick two choices of weapons into the mission. So it's a nice idea to save before you enter any mission.

Knock Down
  The bonus of exploiting an enemy's weakness does not only do more damage, but also there's a chance that the attack will knock them down. When an enemy is down, the enemy will be vulnerable and do nothing for a short period of time, leaving you more time to retaliate, or help decreases number of bullets on the screen.

Rave and D.R.D [Defensive Rave Device]
  Everytime you attack or kill an enemy, you'll recieve some rave point which you can see the progress in the rave guage. Once the guage is full, you'll get one R-stock for spending to use DRD.
DRD is a defensive device that you can select one and only one before entering the mission. This range from a sheild, protecting you from bullets for a short period of time, to a shockwave that will wipe out all bullets in the screen.
  Knock down an enemy will also give you rave point bonus.

High Risk High Gain
  Once you killed an enemy, all the bullets it shoot that are still on the screen will become your bonus exp. Thus, one strategy to level up quickly and go for highscore is to have most bullets possible on the screen before killing off any enemy.
  Also, if your ship overlap with enemies or bullets, but doesn't hit your hitbox, you'll get extra score and exp also. The longer you can stay in that position, the more score and exp.

haha, it's just a short game. I want to finish as many games as possible :S And the contest seems like a good reason to do it.
Piti's now too lazy to online because he's busy with his college work. I even have to help him, eventhough we're not in the same college lol.
 
Definetely one of the most interesting contest projects. Good luck!
4 hours of quality playtime with a shooter sounds a lot harder to do than a traditional RPG.

I noticed in your videos that this seems to lag a bit. If you need any help fixing that & made it with scripting, send me a PM. :)

In all seriousness, though, this looks sweet. I can't imagine how much scripting and eventing malarkey it took to make the game engine, but the end results are worth looking forward to. I hope I can get my computer fixed in time to play this; otherwise I'll go insane waiting.
 
Oh this game looks so good, I watched both the vids and man I can't wait to play this.

Your main character looks exactlly like a guy from this anime about cyborgs/robots.  I wish I could remember what it was called.

You mean Cyborg 009?

Thanks everyone :)  It's pretty much all scripting, but for cutscenes I'll just save my time by using event @_@  It'll take me more time if I made an RPG game , believe me, since I'm a terrible mapper. If I were to made one it would probably be an rpg with no map lol.

And yeah we intend all the characters to look somewhat like a parody to retro anime hehehe. I was afraid nobody's going to notice that :)
 
New video added, please take a look at "System" section. I've finally found a voice actress for Len. She does a terrific job in my opinion :)

And if it sounds somewhat like P3, well now you know where I got my inspiration from :P
 
I don't know if it was a mistake but Len's voice test is under "Knock Down" System, it is a little hard to hear what she is saying but other then that I think the voice isn't that bad. Could get a little annoying after a while having her say something after every kill though.
 
Oh it's under the correct section. I figure this has more to do with knockdown rather than the first video which I focus more on strength and weakness.

Yeah I thought about it could get annoying after a while too. I'll set it so that she'll randomly say it when you knock down an enemy to avoid the problem. :)
 
Updated with a boss test video. Might contain some spoiler, if you want to learn the boss pattern yourself, so watch at your own risk :)  (or you can just watch the first 10 seconds or so just to see the boss design :P)

Ah yeah that's it!  I liked the anime a lot, specifically the art style.  It makes me happy to see the style.  Can't wait to try this one out.
 
All the main bosses sprites are updated in the character section :3  Click on the link if you can't wait to see them in the game.

Only two weeks left gahhh @_@
