Droid Assault now on Steam!

[princec]

Probably several particles... I'll just go and find one...

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17

<emitter       name="bullet.trail.emitter"       infinite="true"       particlesPerTick="1.0"       appearance="spriteimage.particle.glowing.4px.01"       layer="7"       particleDuration="4"       fadeDuration="6"       startHue="0.95"       startBrightness="0.15"       endBrightness="0.015"       angle="0.0"       delay="2.0"       rotate="true"       relativeRotate="true"       interpolation="5"    />

interpolation="5" means for every 5 pixels the bullet moves, it emits particlesPerTick particles (1 in this case), and they only last 4 frames.

Basically what I was thinking.

Heh what is the hue/brightness stuff?

[princec]

Well, what does it look like?

Our particles are interpolated between hues and brightnesses (and saturation) over their duration.

No idea where the proper place for a bug report is, so I'll do it here.



As you can see, I've got 2 cursors hanging about, and the big droid thing sticks around too. (Also, seems like my gfx card doesn't support your shaders, so the game is a little weird, without the shadows. (It's hard to actually "know" what's visible to you and what's not))

The bug first appeared after the update today.

And of course the obligatory system specs:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9

Mac Book Pro, primo 2011 Mac OS X 10.8.3 2,3 GHz Intel Core i5 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB java version "1.7.0_11" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_11-b21) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)

[princec]

That's caused by a failure to restore a saved game from a previous version. Just restart the game and it'll be gone.

Arh, yeah, did notice that I had lost my save game. I thought I had tried to restart the game, turns out I hadn't, so it works as intended.

Great to see you guys at Eurogamer last weekend.

[princec]

We had a blast! Totally knackering though.

I'm sorry Cas, I have to apologize.. I think I just robbed you. I bought Droid Assault, Ultratron, Titan Attacks and Revenge of the Titans in the Summer Sale for 2,30€

[princec]

Them's the breaks.
Every penny counts.

I now haz all the puppeh gamez! Rar!

[NegativeZero]

I also did a few days ago...

[Slyth2727]

Oh I might have to use this... I feel bad though. 

[ra4king]

I posted about the Ultrabundle on Facebook and Twitter

[NegativeZero]

I must say there is a lot of hilarity in this, as the price of the individual games it 1/3 of the package.

Heh, saw something similar during the summer sale, where BattleBlock Theater was on the summer sale, but if you bought it in the bundle with Castle Crashers it was cheaper to get both games together (like 1 dollar 50 cents off, plus the other game for free basically) than to buy BattleBlock Theater on it's own due to some funky math with the combo discount.

EDIT: looks like they have since "fixed" it (now the bundle cost more than the games separately lol, I paid $2.49 for this bundle)

A friend got me the Ultrabundle about a week ago for my birthday. (Again, $2.50)

I have been playing way too much Droid Assault lately.

Although I'm stuck around the level 35-40 mark. The danger level at 35 destroys most of my droid army, and I'm left struggling to recover in time for the boss. After the boss, I'm low on transfers, and the droids are dangerous due to their numbers, but weak on their own, and so useless when I transfer to them. And then the assassin droids...

Still, it's a great game, and despite my steam library doubling over the last week, I've played this one game for more than double the time of the next best.

[princec]

Yay

It is a hard game.

If only the application(s) would grab my mouse in windowed mode. I blame you for accidentally minimizing the window and not hitting all of the glowing Saucers.

[princec]

That was a bit of an unfortunate hack to make the mouse work at the proper speed... I was sort waiting on a mouse constraint API in LWJGL but it never materialised.
