Game Title: Tyoob

Download: http://www.proggies.uk/progs/zip/tyoob.zip  (Right-click then 'Save As...')

Windows only (developed with and tested on Windows 10, but should be compatible with Windows 7 and 8 ).

Category: Retro / Shooter

With respect, if at all possible, please don't try to run the program under any kind of emulation (including VM), because the performance (namely the frame rate) is likely to be crap!

Media information: All the music was licensed (i.e. bought and paid for) from Shockwave Sound (https://www.shockwave-sound.com/)

Most of the sound samples were sourced from https://freesound.org/ and an old MAZ sound samples CD.

Game written in BBC BASIC and a bit of C

YouTube video: https:// youtu.be/QvOdemCKA9c

Edit: Here's a newer video of me completing levels 1 to 3, failing to complete Level 4 after 3 attempts (it's very tough after all!):

https://youtu.be/m9PETU-qZ9E

Game objective: Get to the end of the tunnel and destroy the boss. The tunnels get longer and more winding and busier as the level increases. Level 1 is relatively calm. Level 2 gets busy, and levels 3 and particularly 4 are hell on earth.

For each of the four levels, you *MUST* collect at least 5 flags *and* kill a sufficient number of baddies in order to complete each level. You won't get to face the end-of-level bosses if you don't collect 5 flags and satisfy the minimum required kill count.

@Steve Elliott: I did try (today) to replace the flat 2D sprite (the player's ship) with a 3D vector object, but it didn't work out as intended, and I ran out of time!

Aw no problem, time is always the enemy lol.  I'll give it a try the next few days.

I always think running time critical software under emulation invalidates that user's complaint.

Only 4 games made it by deadline? Or 5, assuming Matty's post was his submission rather than a heads up?

I thought there would be quite a few games this time round :(

That's it, competition is now... CLOSED ;D

Well done to all those that entered and they all look really cool and can't wait to try them out. I'll add a sticky post soon ( or tomorrow ) with all the entries in a list for easy access and members to play :)

Now starts the bug fix week where members can report any bugs for the author to leap into action and fix. Bug fix week end on October 27th @ 23:59:59 GMT and then it'll be voting time.

I was hoping for more too but that's the way it goes sometimes. Perhaps people are bored with the game comps, were not interested in the available options, no time or something else.

But we have some fresh games to play so big thumbs up to those who had the time to enter the comp :)

The forum will only accept 8MB maximum as a post. I believe you about trying to upload so please go ahead and upload to itch.io, google drive or any other free service then post the link here with some super screen shots.

Cheers m8, I was seriously about to cry.  ???

its here - obviously I was being quite 'brief' filling in the fields on itch.io     ;)

Insturctions to run - navigate tto the wildestwest.exe and double click. Enjoy..... or not. Glad it fires up from drop box.

Now - to treat myself by playing the other entrants. Seriously - I've been coding for 6 hours solid!  Bloody unbelievable ;)

I was quite literally tearing the old hair out pre midnight - my 'release' has some bugs to fix, in my defence, I was playing Colony with the kids until 4-ish  (mmm, their 18 and 20 - the fact they still play games with the old dears is a miracle - so that was prioritised over my best coding fun I've had in decades) , and I've got a bloody cold, so I'd to have a dad knap (not really required when your kids are adults!) until about six ish.

:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

Hmmm, it would appear No.1 starts the 2 player game and No.2 stars the one player game - at the moment - sorry for the oversight - these things happ

I'm off looking for the 'winged' mosquito now in your game......... nonetheless, I'm forgetting about the trouble I'd getting the (yep, defo somewhat buggy) WW game uploaded.

Has anyone played Lylat Wars on the N64? Long Story short - I broke my back and collar bone around when that was released.

I think.... could be wrong, one of the phrases was 'Jeez Louise.... aaaAAAAARRRRGGHH!'.

Suffice to say - I left the old man cave - went back to the house - f**k me, the link I provided was not shared as I'd left it in 'Dev' mode on itch.io.

You can get it now, although I'll reckon you're mostly in the land of nod now  ;D

its here, probably.

The 1st post in this thread says where / how to submit your game :)

I see you posted about your game and it can be found here - Later today I'll create a thread will all the entries so members don't have to go through all the posts.

How can anybody ever get bored of comps :P The theme was particularly attractive this month. But... In my case it just so happened I had no time at all this month.

Anyway yes, big thumbs up to all other entrants!!!

Same here, and I agree.  And there were 6 entries, not 4 or 5.

Thanks for the contributors to give us something to play.

I was not able to participate this time (only some idea brain storming) as real life work chimed in - and other projects wanted their attention too (hmpf... so much changes but still no new release).

Maybe next time.
