Metaship

I thought I’d share with you all that I’m working on a new game called Metaship and work is going very well with it. Today I added in walls that can’t be moved through and shot through, so it’ll be a lot more interesting now. It’s a two player Arena Fighter. Like Virtual On, Custom Robo, or Power Stone, but it’s only 2D, and involves spaceships (and maybe mechs later on).

It’s still very early in development, but I’ll release a demo as soon as it is working properly and is fun. This project will be different in that I will continue to support it so it won’t ever be “finished.” It is my side project for when I can’t develop my main projects (currently Emerald J, which I am waiting on graphics for).

Anyway I just thought I’d share some screenshots of a very alpha build. Enjoy:

And from today’s build (which is still very alpha):

Looks pretty nifty. Your graphics certainly have seen a bit of improvement.
