Hello everyone,
I'd like to introduce you to our upcoming indie game code named: Project Blacklight.
I have been doing the spriting and have thought up the game engine.
My code monkey is a member of this community, Aristaeus; he is also one of my close friends, being in my school class.
We have another guy in our school who has been lazy (there's always one of them in a group), and have just been ripping sounds from other games to implement into ours.

We are doing this for a school project currently, and will continue after the project as a hobby.
Programs made specifically to aid in the making of games, for example game maker v7/8 are not used. We are using IDEs (integrated development environment) to compile, notepad ++ to write up the code and a few other image editing software for spriting and for rendering transparency.

The game engine is very close to v0.2 (compilable without errors).
The game engine is private due to the amount of time being put in for it to actually work, we are planning to be able to sell it though (comes with physics and everything, also contains a few unique features).

Here are a couple of sprite draft sheets you can give comments on:

Please realize that these are all very rushed sprites because the project finish date is very, very close and we need to work on the presentation itself.


We are currently hiring people for bug testing and people who will review our code (absolute experts please, must also keep everything secret)

Thanks for reading, and I await your comments.

You have a gun that shoots rainbows?

It's the Sonic Rainboom cannon, a good sized pony refference.
You can bug test the game for us!

Also, I'm going to make a random stab in the dark and ask, is there any stealth involved? The name and characters seem like there is.

Nope, a stealth feature would take far too long and annoying to implement due to enemy A.I and a couple other stuff since we have a time limit.

Ok, I understand that.
Are there any game mechanics you can reveal?

I like trying out games. Tell me, what genre do you expect it to be? Looks like a shooter. I'll try it out as long as you don't give me a virus. :3

Thank you Zai-Zai! :D

Nah, it seems to me like it's an underslung (plasma?) gun. Maybe explosive, considering its size.

Don't get your hopes up; there probably won't be anything to test for a week or two - it depends on how distracted I get. However, I'm hoping to get some good coding done this weekend, so who knows?

It was a rushed job forced by our lazy selfish member. So I spent like 2 minutes on it.
Its meant to be some tesla cannon, ball of lightning, get it?

I don't know. This isn't for fun, it's serious, you need to send frequent bug reports and such.
Can you do that?

I can test and do bug reports. I'd like to say I can help with coding, but I doubt I could. I'd like to learn how to code, but this probably isn't the right place to do it. The sprites look great so far! Although they're a little inconsistent. For example, the clothing is done with 1px width, while the rest is done with 2px.

These sprites are all rushed :P
We will have more time once the school presentation is done.
