| After many months of hard work, I've finally got something to show for it! I've made a preliminary beta of my game in progress, SUAVE (Sport-Utility Assault Vehicle Extreme). This game is designed to appeal to people who like to blow things up. Enjoy! Download here: http://www.blinken.com/suave.html  |

| ur particle system looks nice.... I am learning how to make spawn effects..... all i can say is impressive. BTW the ligtning effects how do u create em. Im guessing sprites? |
| ||
| Just played it. Its really awesome! Allthough it runs too fast. All the effects are top class. And the "AI" seems fine. The controls are a bit confusing, but I think you get used to them pretty soon. Great work! EDIT: btw. I have the same question as darklordz... how do you make those lightning bolts from teslacoil. |

| Great stuff! Nicely presented, if a little rough around the edges... Only thing is it's running much too fast on my machine, so you should probably start looking into frame limitting before it's too late! Fredborg |

| Really nice looking game so far! I like the particle effects. I found the gameplay very simple and straight forward, very much like doom with a tank! I dont think the game is too fast though, I assume its design as opposed to lack of frame limitting because there is the bullet time feature which is very cool. BTW the game froze when i used this as soon as I let go of space, ill test it some more tho. The controls - not intuitive to start with and hard to get used to. Having such a heavy FPS background I always think my thoughts are bias when it comes to this, but.. The turret definately needs to move completely independantly from the base. At the moment when you turn with keys the turret turns too which totally throws your aim. So if the keys don't effect the turret at all this would help. What might be even better is to go even further down the fps route and make it so the turn keys straf instead. When u straf the base would turn at right angles to the direction your turret is facing and when you move forward the base would line up with the turret so u can turn and steer around the map. I don't think it would hurt to atleast include these as optional controls atleast. Great stuff so far! |

| I Played it again and it indeed runs fast it still amazez me the fx are great. I've been wanting to create these "spwning effects" for ages. Posted it a couple of times butnobody seems to know..... Aarrrgg, i can't imagine how u did this but id sure like toknow.... |
| ||
| Very cool. It would be nice if forward would just be forward, no matter which way I look... But great stuff! |
| ||
| Played it again, and... The top view is great once you learn how to switch between the control styles, but it makes the game quite a bit easier as you can see where there is hidden stuff. It might be a good idea to do some sort of occlusion, so that you can't 'see through' walls when using the top view. The game might not be running too fast, but the explosions seem too fast (in my opinion)... Ohh, yeah I completed the level :) Forgot the score though... Fredborg |

| Thanks guys! The Tesla sparks are meshes that get their vertices' positions and UVs modified every frame. There's eight pairs of vertices along the length, with tris chained between them. The six pairs in the middle shift around to high-frequency sin functions on each axis. I'm not sure what DarkLordZ means about "spawn effects".. As for speed, there's no frame limiter, but it does adjust the rate at which things happen based on MilliSecs() over cycles. This has made the game fairly consistant across most systems I've tried it on. Strafing would, of course, be impossible in a tank.. It didn't take my alpha testers long to learn to hold the turret perpendicular to the tank when there's danger and strafe with forwards and backwards. |

| Absolutely amazing! The dark areas are awesome! |
| ||
| What meant with spawning... When the player is generated you get an effect (spawn). |
| ||
| Good fun this. Well done. |
| ||
| That's very cool indeed. My only whines would be that it turns and drives too fast to be comfortably controllable, and it feels like it might be better if the tank body rotated to match the turret when you push forward, and then moved forward (alternatively, have the turret stay still when the body turns)...? Got a nice feel, though, and the chained barrel explosions rock! |
| ||
| Top stuff. Nothing like mindless blasting. When will this be released? Will it have an Editor? Reminds me of the old 3D Arcade machines for some reason. |
| ||
| Yeah I enjoyed that, impressive effects! I enjoyed being able to blow the walls up too. Would be good to have some varied floor/wall textures too. |
| ||
| I liked it. Had no problems with Speed/controls. You have a great game, very slick. |
| ||
| I liked it. Made me seasick (which no other game has done yet but I'm getting older...) Any chance of slowing it down for us old geezers? Very nice polish, I loved the Vulcan Cannon and the Tesla Cannon. |
