Getting Closer...

Finally here is some closer work looking more like a game needing a lot more code but boundaries have been achieved heres some screenshot's of it now:

Backgrounds

Here are a few backgrounds that can be used in the game. These are from www.metalslugsprites.net

Enemy Sprites

These are sprites created to be used as enemies in our game including a seperate arm so that the arm can be rotated at the shoulder joint. Colour schemes could be changed to show different enemy difficulties and new arms could be created for different weapons.

We need guns, lots of guns

Player character- badass kill bot

Hey guys, bin working on the player character a bit more got the main character minus the arms, and 3 more images for the arm/weapon turrets so well have a choice between a minigun, railgun, or missile launcher! should be enough to destroy everything in our paths mwa hah ha! Oh yeah u may notice i obviously based it on Jehuty from Z.O.E but making a mech from scratch is pretty tough.

Oh yeah its Andy by the way!!!!!!!!!!!

Bodycount - Splash screen & Background

Thanks to Tom D, we now have a working menu screen which looks pretty decent.

When the game is run it looks like this:



Tom has also managed to insert some code into the Gameplay screen so that our custom background so far appears when you select play game, with 2 text sprites that can be controlled using the arrow keys.



The code for this is quite complex with lots of different classes for different screens etc... However we feel we can add to this and add our own game into the play game screen.

Prototype 1..

This is Bodycount in development, so far moving clouds, background, foreground and screen resolution have been achieved..

Splash Screen

Hey Guys,

I've followed through a tutorial for creating a menu screen I found on youtube called
"New XNA - Paddles...(name of tutorial)".

It was pretty lengthy and complicated but I think I got the gist of it and here is a screen shot of the really basic Menu screen you end up with.



It doesn't look like much but the tutorial explains how to seperate your program in to seperate classes and other useful stuff and also the tutorials continue and create something a bit more fancy I think but I could make it look better than that by myself I think if you guys wanna use this.
