Hello everyone! It's been quite some time since I last blogged here but I've been very busy in school finishing up for the summer.  About 3 days ago I started making a new game that I intend to release this summer on Xbox Live Indie Games. It does not yet have a name, It's actually not even a game yet, more of a glorified tech demo. Even so, I thought I'll give a first look on it and perhaps get some response? :P Giant bombers are after all a very good an honest crowd of people!  
The game is a retro shooter on steroids!  I've been on it for only about 3 days so it is no where near complete. I've just focused on making the game engine and optimizing it for the 360.  
Here's a pic of my and my friends stress testing the engine. It can handle A LOT more than this. On a one minute test I managed to spawn 0.8 million particles, kill 11 thousand enemies with over 44 thousand bullets! Needless to say, it's very fast!

That looks pretty cool. I will keep an eye on it.

make graphics maybe a tiny bit better 
maybe geometry wars style 
looks cool otherwise

Man, this looks right up my alley. I'd love to see it in motion, though.
 
NOTE: My desktop picture cycles through various 16-bit screen caps every hour. You've just given me a new image to pop up! Cheers.

Looks a bit like Decimation X.  I like it so far!  Agree with kishan6 on the graphics.

A suggestion on pricing: keep at the impulse buy and level.  This means don't make it anymore than 80pts.

Looks cool man.

it looks good. i think it will look like a crazy game if there are going to be a lot of enemies on there.

Dude I could go for some crazy ass shmup. Can't wait to hear more about it!

It's looking great, mate! I'd love to take a look at it for the site I work at when it's all done! Good luck with the development.

I wish Australians got the Indie games. It's fucked up.

Cool stuff, best of luck with your game.

Looks great, will get it when it comes to Xbox Live!
