Team Project: 2D Scrolling Shooter
For my second project, I was thinking about making a 2d scrolling shooter by myself using C++ and DirectX again. Instead, during one of the Green Bay Student Chapter IGDA meetings, I had talked with Philip, an ITT Tech student about having him make some art assets for my next project. He was then approached by Tyler, another ITT Student about doing another 2D game. Philip told Tyler about my idea, and the three of us decided to make a 2D game together. In addition, we attended the first ever Game Team Venue meeting (an event designed to get students together to form teams and make games), and recruited Kathy, our 4th member. It was then that the Lost Muffins were born.
After discussing the project with my teammates, it was decided that we would create the game using C# and XNA. One of the purposes of making the game is to use it to compete in the Game Fair held at ITT Tech. Using C# and XNA gives us an easier language/toolset to work with, and we also have the advantage of being able to demo our game on the XBOX 360. The current early prototype of the game is below:
That's all for now. As we update the game, I will be adding screenshots and/or more videos. Feel free to email me with questions/comments about the game.
