My Games Design

Lasers, rockets, shields, health regeneration, pixels. You know. The good stuff. Just nicely packaged with levels of just the right duration and hardness, persistent upgrades, shaders, reverb... Two buttons are enough to play, since that was one of the themes of Ludum Dare #34 , in which the game came #74 among 1638 jam entries. Super Space Invader Review Supser Space Invader was made with  L�VE  (v0.9) and thus runs on Linux, OS X, Windows. The source is available on GitHub under  zlib/libpng .

Galaxy Forces is an open-source moon lander shooter single-/multiplayer game hosted on SourceForge, it is nearly finished. It is unique of its kind in offering global hiscores and achievements. Replays and AI enemies also available. Try it . It plays on Win, Mac and Linux.

Just in case you can stand having Steam DRM installed in your system, I recommend taking a look at Strife: Veteran Edition . Strife is a Shooter/RPG based on the Doom Engine and dating back to 1996. The developers for this new remake had the wits and sensibility to use the Chocolate Doom engine as the main code base, which is, of course 100% licensed under the GPL. With so many top quality Free Software engine remakes around here, it really astounds me why so few developers choose to use them on modern HD remakes and ports (I'm looking at YOU, upcoming remake of Heroes of Might and Magic III not using VCMI ). As mentioned, so far the game is available exclusively on Steam, but I'm pretty sure a DRM-free GOG version will eventually follow, as it usually does.

SNiS Engineering screen Stephen Cameron, one of my personal heroes of game development ( Be The Wumpus ), made Word War Vi support color laser projectors using the openlase library [ blog post ]. Word War vi driving RGB color laser projector with openlaser Another project that our forum users were allowed to follow in this thread is Space Nerds in Space: So this game (when it becomes a game) is very much inspired by Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator See: artemis.eochu.com The idea is you have a game which is played much as the actors in the Star Trek TV series played their roles on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. There are a number of "stations": Navigation, Weapons, Science, Communications, etc. and each player assumes that role. Each station has it's own laptop or other computer which communicates via network to a central server which simulates the game universe. So it's kind of a cooperative multiplayer network game... No reason not to have multiple team...
