on the multi-touch issue...

Wouldn´t you think it´s possible to, let´s say, having a check on different screen pressed areas while alternating this between code loops? Would this achieve a ´multi touch´ sort of thing?

just some crazy idea

I have the version before, as I read, I´m noting the errors, will let you know later if it helps any

Definitely interested in anything Alien Breed-ish. I loved the game back on ye olde Amiga. Might be nice to do a remake/re-imagining.

It would be also great if players did more then open door/shoot, more interaction with its scenery, maybe fog of war too.
I would be interested in anything alien breed other than last official remake...

GREAT!

Ich frag jetzt einfach mal: Wer macht was, und wer ist Boss bei dem Projekt? Einer muß ja das letzte Wort haben. 

Cheers

That´s for sure.

A repository to keep all files and progress like kitty said.

...then maybe a production design should be created to accommodate the production.

This production design consist of: what should be created, by whom, on which order and when kind of things, it dosen´t go deep into the game details but more like a general plan of action. Also important to denote methodology (structure+names)here, so everyone speeks the same language.

Production design may also cover actions for pre-production, production, pos-production, as well as distribution and market if it applies.

This stage should also care for required documents for the project itself, for example owner stuff, rights and so on.

runs great here,
nice to fiddle with the variables too.

I could get 1024 bob copies going before things started slugging...

I have seen a few android phones around here, some of them, the cheapers, are quite bad when it comes to processing.
One hard thing on android will be to keep every user happy.
One of the phones, although quite nice on multi touch, face book and so on, sluguished on a simple tower defense game (hexadefence or something like that),  and so o angry birds.

It will be a hard work to figure out what will be the standard android hardware.

Every developer tool has its own problems, your work as a game programmer (not designer) is to go around.
GLbasic (IMO) is an underground community supported tool, that is where its greatest powers relies.
I have just bought a premium version, after being one year living with the community and a school version.
I can´t recommend it better.

I thought those i-phones were supposed to be indestructible!

...within time more will sell, do you have it ready for android?

I guess I think what is important is to sell a little everyday.
Have you done any marketing?

only 25 copies sold?

I can hardly believe it. game is polished, pretty and fun.
By the video I saw I would buy it for sure to help out subway times...

what is wrong with these pre-palm people?

All right I´m not german...

but have a few great friends over and my brazilian girlfriend is german descendant, they all speak fluently over her family...
does that count?

my idea would be something like the aliens 2 movie (after they land on planet, before they find stupid little girl) ...
...multi players get to protect them selves on a complex and outdoors, manipulating computers, doors, barricading themselves, tower defensing, placing traps,  and so on before an infinite swarm of aliens brake in...

It could also happen inside a space ship, like the tabletop game "The Awful Green Things from Outer Space".

EDIT: first person, maybe also splitscreen in quad like hired guns back on the amiga days...

then I may have another inspiration for you... although it´s more on the fantasy-time-travel area...

TIMEBANDITS on the coco 2

it´s like gauntlet and so on... I actually finished it if any soul could possibly believe it.
There is just a lot of stuff you can pull out of the current engine.

let us know how the plan is going.

out of curiosity...they can be used worldwide right?

Works perfect here too.

map editor:
-can tiles be on screen somehow? it sucks to go to a separate page to select them.
-Works really nice, I´m tempted on spending some time drawing a world on it...

game:

The possibilities are endless, gfx reminds me of knightmare. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knightmare_(1986_video_game)
look for knightmare msx on google images...or over some online msx emulator.

You should also take a look at POWDER (rogue like) at

powder is extremely addicting, if it was real time somehow and multiplayer I probably would stop eating...
