  Hello Everybody,In short:I'm working on a new free multi OS game editor.Website:  http://www.greyhound-data.com/gunnar/games/We are currently working on a number of free Shoot-Em-Ups based on this.We want to develop many more good and free Shoot-Em-Ups with it.If you are an artist and are interested in helping orif you have developed a good Shoot-Em-up and would liketo support this free project by donating the GFX for a demo levelthen please email me gunnar@greyhound-data.com . Every artist who participates can get a cool New free Neo-Amiga Computer!Please read this:http://bbrv.blogspot.com/2006/05/amiga-reunification-project_14.htmlLong:I'm currently developing an Arcade Game Construction Kit.The Kit will allow everybody to create beautiful Shoot-em ups with just a few clicks.Thanks to using SDL for portability the games created with the Kit will run on nearly all platforms: Windows, Linux, MacOS, MorphOS, AmigaOS, BeOS, RiscOS, QNX, and even on consoles like GP2x and Playstation II.Work on the Game Kit was started as development project for the exiting new EFIKA hardware. The EFIKA is a new PowerPC computer able to run Linux and some Neo Amiga Operating systems.Do you have GFX for a good Shoot-Em-Up and want to support the development of this cross plattform Kit? Would you be willing to donate GFX for a demo level of your existing Shooter? Or are you a skilled GFX-artist who ever wanted to create a high quality Shoot-Em-Up? Then please email me now!I'm very happy that the manufactuers of the EFIKA are supporting this free Game development project. If you want to create a game together with us then you will get one of these cool new Neo-Amiga computers for free!*No* programming is required for the people to participate in the Project and to create a game (or lots of them). I will do the programming work - the work of you joining will be creating the graphics and coming up with creative ideas. :-)I'm looking forward to your answers.CheersGunnarEdit:fixed links[Edited by - BigGun on May 16, 2006 7:37:57 AM]
  Some people has asked if there is any catch with the free hardware.No there is no hidden price.The goal of my project is to design an easy to use,free Game Construction Kit and to create a few nice free games with it. I'm developing the Game Construction Kit and will enhance itto the needs of the artists that are now joining the project.The reason that I call for help is, that I truely believe that the only good construction Kit is the one that was used to create some real games with. So I need some good artist for 2D or 3D GFX and coming up challenges for the game construction Kit. The participating artists will have the free choice of whatever type of Arcade Shoot-Em-Up they want to create: Space shooter, Unterwater, Commando like, R-type, Hybris, ... whatever you prefer.I'll support you with code and I'll "forge" the Construction Kit according to your needs.For those with Amiga background the Company Genesi has kindly offered a very gift.Every game artists can get a brand new Neo-Amiga EFIKA computer for FREE!.You won't need that EFIKA to create the games it is basicly a real cool bonusfor those participating. The games will of course run on the EFIKA in the end. BTW can some give me a hint how to make the links in my other post look normal?Many thanks in advanceGunnar   ;  I can't offering any sort of art/shoot-em-up help, but I just wanted to recommend that if you haven't yet, check out BulletML, one of the handiest tools I've ever seen for flexible bullet systems in shooters :)   ;  Captain,Thanks for the hint.We have our own simple bullet system but I'll have a look mayube there is a good idea to borrow.CheersGunnar   ;Quote:Original post by BigGunBTW can some give me a hint how to make the links in my other post look normal?Just use normal html tags, like this:<a href="the url goes here">the link text goes here</a>EDIT: fixed it so that you can see the tags, instead of the browser sticking an actual link in.
