Hello,

I am still working on a two players iPad game. It is named Neon Fight HD

Here is a first screenshot of it.

Neon Fight HD

Gameplay-Description:

Two players sit in front of each other. Both have a canon, with that they can defend themselves. Each player has a set of weapons / rockets, that he can send to the other players’ side by a finger slide. The rockets are used to destroy the shield of the other player. The player whose shield is completely destroyed looses the game.
With the canon each player can destroy the incoming rockets from the other player.
There is a control for the started rockets. By pushing that control, the rocket does a change maneuver.
Sometimes there are items to collect (shield-repair, more fire-power, higher rocket-speed, etc..). To collect the items, there is a button, suddenly becoming visible on each players’ side. The Player, that is pushing the button faster, receives the bonus-item.

There are also some objects showing up, that can destroy the rockets, while flying to the other side, the player has to get around or destroy them.

The game speed is very high, each player can start up to 8 rockets at once, so the whole thing is a funny hectic game, that can be over within minutes…

Release is planned in about one month…
Still some things to do: Finish gameplay, integrate cool music and sound effects, integrate a single-player (other player is simulated by CPU), OpenFeint-Integration

What do you think about it?

… after a small respite from Magnetic Mind, work is proceeding on it.

I took my photo an went to the forrest near my home and took a lot of Pics, to get some inspiration for Magnetic Mind. I found a lot of cool things.

Now I am trying to put some things thogether in blender 2.5 Alpha (hope I get along with this). If I have some results, I let you know!

Wow, great, I didn’t count with that, but we are one of the top 20 finalists of the Dream Build Play 2009 competition, great!!

Here is a link to this info

Yesterday the 6 Dream Build Play 2009 finalists have been unveiled: http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/698917/Here-Are-2009s-Dream-Build-Play-Finalists–.html

Too bad, that Magnetic Mind didn’t make it.

My first impression of the games was (only from the screenshots): hey this couldn’t be… but then I had a look at the youtube-Videos of them, and I must say, they look really good and all of them have hard-earned it.

So best wishes to all of the finalists.

This time, it is not that bad, that we didn’t made it, cause we have the possibility to publish the Game on the indie-Game Channel!

It’s done. Magnetic Mind reached its first milestone. We have polished it as good as possible in that short of time, to publish it to Microsofts Dream Build Play competition (http://www.dreambuildplay.com). So cross your fingers for us. By the way here is the Teaser Video:

Also available in HD

Don’t worry, we are still alive. You do not here about us and our game, because the deadline for the DreamBuildPlay competition is very near now. And we still have a lot of tasks to do…. So please be patient. In two weeks we will show up more of Magnetic Mind.

Last weekend we had the opportunity to show up the Game on blenderday (a german Blender convention). It was really cool. We meet many nice and cool blender-people there.

So cross your fingers for us for finishing the game till 6th of August!

Have a look at some screenshots of the nearly finished kitchen level

This video shows a very far version of the kitchen level. It shows, the Magnetic Mind - Function for dragging objects, Water - Physics, Jump and Run - Things and a Toaster…

This video shows the first draft of the kitchen level. It shows, how the camera moves its position, as soon as the guy falls into the drawer.

Now the guy can also walk into depth, that gives more room for Level-Ideas!
