Pi 3D - Original Game Concept

seccia — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 00:44:59 -0400

Pi is based on an original game concept because it is both a 3D racing arcade game, a platform game, a puzzle game and a first-person shooting game in one for Windows XP/Vista/Seven. And the player can go through eras such as ancient Egypt, medieval and sci-fi worlds to discover the mysteries of the Pi number.

A racing arcade game: you pilot your vehicle against the clock through a 3D tube and around various obstacles in 360 degrees to collect all the gems and complete the level.

A platform game: you will have to jump and drive smarter on static and moving platforms to reach some inaccessible gems

A puzzle game: some obstacles are more difficult than others because you must first understand the puzzle and find out how to solve it

A first-person shooting game: Pi is not just a retro game, it is also a real-time 3D game developed in C++/DirectX. So enjoy your 3D card!...

All registered users will be able to upload their best times with ghosts and participate to online ranking of 100 best scores for each level and difficulty. Be the fastest pilot on the web!...

In other words, this game proves a worthy challenge for newbie and hardcore gamers. Pi will not let you feel free!...

Swissplayers — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 10:32:44 -0400

We started 12 months ago with the development of our own indie game. We currently finished two releases, one for Windows and another for the Xbox 360 console. Check out this game:

Full Version: http://www.swissplayers.com
Demo Version: http://www.swissplayers.com/demo/demo.iso
Youtube Trailer:

Release Date (PC Windows Version): already available
Release Date (Xbox 360 Indie Game Marketplace): 20th of June 2011

Description of the game:

World Wars - European Conflicts is an action based 2.5 dimensional game. You will play 3 major European campaigns during World War II, each divided into 5 separate missions. All 15 missions can be played as singleplayer or alternatively in cooperation mode on split screen.

The particular conflicts are played with up to 12 different units, where each unit type is fully controlable by the player. Land battles are fought by soldiers, tanks, jeeps and artillery. Air support is provided by jets and bombers. Battleships, destroyers, aircraft carriers and even submarines come onto stage during sea battles.

Normandy (D-Day, 1944)
You start with the command of American paratroops of the 101th airborne on D-Day, June 6, 1944. On the end of the first campaign you will command several different amphibious and air units along the heavily-fortified French coastline to bring the final assault to success.

Norway (Weser-Excercise, 1940)
This campaign starts with German troops that invade Norway on April 9, 1940 in a cloak-and-dagger operation. You will face heavy sea battles with British naval units and focus on the famous battles around Narvik and Dombaas.

Russia (East-Front, 1943-1945)
The last campaign reflects the heavy battle of material at the eastern front between Russian and German troops in the period of 1943 to 1945. You will command soldiers, tanks, jets and bombers in order to clear the way from Stalingrad to Berlin to finally assure the glorious victory against the Third Reich. You will have the chance to kill Adolf Hitler yourself in the end.

Simultaneously we are working on the second release yet. It will be called World Wars - Pacific Conflicts and will include another 15 missions outlining the famous war places in the pacific during World War II.

Thanks for reading and enjoy playing.

Ongaku & Drag Tag Smash by Smashmouth Games

bebophop231 — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 19:10:39 -0500

Hi Everyone,

On recommendation from a friend, who uses the HGE Engine with his own projects, has pointed me towards the Relish Games forum saying it has a great community for indie developers. We've joined to hopefully tell you, the gameing community about our recently released game, ONGAKU, which we are very excited about bringing to you. We are also in the process of making an iPhone Music game which has Ongaku gameplay elements, which I will tell you about when I have something new to show :).

In the meantime, you grab a free demo of Ongaku here:
http://www.ongakugame.com/demotry.html

We have already released the PC version of the game and are now looking towards the development of Ongaku for mobile.

Ongaku is a 2D rhythm action game combining an original score and stylised artwork. Players take the role of the magic crystal Ongaku and progress through the fantasy kingdom of Melody by popping paint bubbles in time to the music. If successfully popped, the paint bubbles reveal an artistic masterpiece, bringing the canvas to life with its unique artwork. This first instalment of Ongaku features:

- Enjoy 11 brand new lusciously animated levels, each with their own new music theme
- Play the game your way: auto-generate playable levels from your favourite music tracks, pictures or videos using the Tune-A-Matic
- Discover you inner artist with the ability to import your favourite media and create your own levels using the Melody Maker
- Share the levels you've created with your friends and see their creations
- Five difficulty settings allow you to enjoy playing, whatever your level of expertise
- Ever-growing collection of new downloadable Theme Packs available, including Pop, Rock, Dance and many more

Please try the game and let us know your thoughts. We would love it if you guys could give us some feedback. What would you like to see more of? We do like to listen to you, the gamers and our customers, so we can make the gaming experience better.

We also have another game which fuses action, music and puzzle elements together to create a simple, fun, pick-up and play game. The game is called Drag Tag Smash and the game's goal is to drag the sphere to tag the invaders to smash them to smithereens. Old school fun, old school action!

Drag Tag Smash is now available on the App Store and can be found here... http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/drag-tag-smash/id408743207?mt=8 ...for a small price of $0.99/59p.

Drag Tag Smash also features a very dynamic electro soundtrack, which builds up with intensity, emotion and variety the more the player tags enemies to destroy them. Drag Tag Smash features:

- Infinitely spawning enemies for infinitely massive scores.
- Figure out how to score trillions with the Smash Score System, and then post online to Facebook to impress your friends.
- The more you destroy, the more music you get; the Retro-Electro soundtrack is driven from destroying enemies.
- The game dynamically changes its difficulty depending upon your actions.
- Instant action with simple pick-up and play controls.

We would really appreciate good reviews on the App Store. They really help sales and for us, an Indie developer ;), this is invaluable. So if you like Drag Tag Smash and think other people should be playing it too, please, please, please spread the word around; we would really be appreciative of it.

II - The Game

invertedshadow — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 23:18:57 -0400

This game is my baby. I've been working on this video game in the dark for two and a half years, only a handful of people have seen it. When I saw the dawn of the N64 and the PSX, I saw the death of the side-scrolling genre as a staple of the game industry. Once the third dimension arrived, no one wanted to tap the potential of a 2d shooting game anymore. It's time for the category to have its justice.

II is turning out to be my personal blend between an old school 2d side scroller and a current gen multiplayer third person shooter.

I have more information posted, and several videos at:
http://www.moddb.com/games/ii-the-game

Once I get a couple levels up to my own personal standard, I'll release a demo.
I appreciate that you continued reading this far, you should check out my personal website.
