I just wanted come on and give a shout out to my new game, Halo Ascension Episode One, part of a three episode series of 2D side-scrolling shooters. Here's a trailer I posted on YouTube: YouTube - Halo Ascension Episode One Trailer Just wanted to try and bring it to a bigger audience since I spent around 8 months making it Please tell me what you think and give feedback! - Multiple weapons (including Assault Rifle, SMGs, Rocket Launcher, Shotgun) - Custom soundtrack, if you don't like the awesome music included, change it. - 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio - Enemies including Elites, Hunters and Grunts - Many different locations It is recommended that you have a reasonably good spec PC to run this game, as some computers produce an error message at the loading screen. I've tested this game on 4 different computers, and one could not run it. Screenshot 1 | Screenshot 2 | Screenshot 3 | Screenshot 4 | Screenshot 5 | Screenshot 6
The Ghost Part Reminds me of Sonic the Hedgehog back in 1994. Very Nice Dude, I'll download for sure!
Thanks guys @Whisper I didn't make almost any of the sprites but I did make some of them and I have also made many modifications to existing sprites. Some examples are the HUD, logos, desks and lights in level 2. I have made a pretty good Scarab sprite that I am saving for Episode 2/3, completely from scratch.
Thank you very much Gr4phix, I made it in Game Maker 8, and there are loads of tutorials and a great community. Please tell people about my game because I have quite a limited audience at the moment.
You should make a version for the iphone Also I wouldn't use the bungie logo unless you got permission. Same with the music.
this will be a nice break from all this damn Shakespeare hw I've been doing today, downloading now EDIT: what do you do when you get to the first phantom? Kill it with rockets? doesn't seem to be working out for me.
Very nice and an iPhone/iPod touch version would be awesome. I might download but I'm really never on the computer (Im writing this on my iPod) Did you post this on Bungie.net yet?
Same, I have no idea what to do at the phantom, I shot it with like 16 rockets and nothing happens :|
lol, the Phantom is kinda tough, you need to keep shooting at it after you run out of rockets. It is possible to defeat the phantom with only your assault rifle, you have like 65 bullets left
Something you might want to fix, is when you drop your gun and pick it back up, it get's Refilled with Ammo. I'm not sure if it's meant to do this or what, but it makes it 10x easier.
Crashed. 2 GB RAM Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit (Guessing because the program is 32 bit, that windows is struggling to run it) I can play other games well. God knows why I can't play this ;l Ahh well. You should submit it to bungie.
I'm using 64-bit as well, Win7 home premium, 4GB ram and 1GB graphics. It runs perfectly fine but of course if it didn't I would have not released it yet. A question, if one was to post the game to Bungie.net forums, which sub-forum would one post it?
I still can't get past it. i die and respawn with rockets, get back to the phantom, shoot more rockets at it, reload using the ones on the marine, shoot again, and nothing still happens Is there a specific area you need to shoot at?
i have you exact same stats. I beet it btw. It's so easy to die though. And the ghost blows chunks Its just like a plasma rifle. and you can't stop or splatter. I really liked the music though. Well done.
