Almost there .... now have 6 zones for 30 waves.  A little bit of testing to be finished then I'm done  ;D

Updated the menu title - it's a bit better I think.
Might even have time to add a new enemy in there .. we'll see.



Steve Elliott

Yeah menu is better - it needed more than just a black background.  I suggested animated stars, but colour is also an option (as you went with).

'Gunstar' name is kinda large and over-powering though.

I think the title raises memories from 80s arcade games ... or maybe even early 90s.

Maybe you need to be "top notch" to survive. And "Top Gun" might be already taken :)

That's me done ... hopefully no major bugs.  ;D

All feedback welcome.

The title looks 80's, the game looks 90's - that's my problem with it...Game looks amazing though!   :o

Steve what are the min specs for the game?
Win 7 and Win 10 + surface are giving me memory errors. I can run the game to the main screen, but no to the actual game - look brill so far though :)

Strange, Mr Strange.  You get a memory access error when you start a game from the main menu?  Does the screen fade or is it immediate? 

You should be able to run it on any win o/s.  I've got the worst GFX card here (GT710) and have no issues.  Did you have any issues with Vanarchy or any of my other entries?

iWasAdam

Main menu with full sound comes up. When I click how to play or play it didn't fade just went to black (Miss Winehouse)
Options works fine.

Erm. can't remember, but I did play vanarchy so can't think what's going on.

Brilliant game (runs fine here on Windows 10 [1903]) - though I'm totally pants at playing it using the mouse (it doesn't seem to store 'Default Control' setting in the INI file - I have to change it from 'Mouse' to 'Keyboard' each time I launch the program).  :D

Works fine here, splattering ducks is strangely gratifying.... ;D

Works on HP Elitebook Windows 10 - so I5 with intel IGP.
During startup windows played the sound of newly attached hardware.

Linux + Wine gave an EAV, think that is a Blitz3D-Wine-thing, no worries - this is what we have the native OS install for :).

To narrow it down what happens on Adams computer: maybe you could write a .log file stating what is loaded now, what is tried to get played now ... so maybe some file case issue (dunno how DualBoot or what Adam uses on his Mac requires). Might be the reason for Wine to fail too (seeing you use Uppercase in your filenames - which on case sensitive file systems matters).

The surface is a MS product with win10 on it. 2gb ram (I think) and smallish screen.
Wont even run - just get a complete black screen with nothing and freezes the system!

The win7 and win10 are both VMWare hosts

win7 will load, run main menu, change options, goto start level. When the level is clicked it fades then goes black and 'Memory access violation" dialog appears.
If it is running fullscreen then this prangs the system!

Steve Elliott

No problems running here.  I'm enjoying playing this.   8)
