        Gosh, a lot of time has passed since our last entry. Progress has been slow lately and we faced several problems (moving, broken notebook(rest in peace, beloved Mac)). However the project is far from being dead. Right now we're working on a new design for this page here, which will be awesome.<

        It's done! The pattern editor is ready to use, lock and load.

        You can create loop objects that place several bullets with different trajectories, you can combine them in any way you like to create unique patterns.

        Here's a little video that shows the editor in action.

        Yesterday I walked through the city night and saw a lot of violence. So I decided to change the gameplay where you don't fight evil guys all the time but instead try to help people...NOT!

        So why flower power? I've been working on the pattern editor the last days and it's pr

        What a distracting title for a blog entry. So what is this all about? We've been working on the integration of LUA (Portuguese for "moon") which is a well known scripting language. We're using it to create bullet patterns. This enables us to test patterns without compiling and li

      • Deadlines
        06/17/09
        I love deadlines!
        They force you to finish a lot of stuff in a short time span, new stuff is added to the game and increases your motivation to go on.

        I hate deadlines!
        They force you to finish a lof of stuff in a short time span resulting in bugs that you have to find afterward

        Progress has been slow lately, but we're back at work and aim at a demo release on June 20th. That is we're finishing the last of all three hyper modes, add a few more enemies and work on the final level.

        The latest addition is a new bullet type called master bullet (yeah, fancy

        This is what I've been working on the last days - the first implemented hyper mode.

        The most important question you ask yourself in a danmaku is: how do I maximize my highscores? There're a lot of different ways this is done in the danmakus out there, a lot of them using s

        02/22/09
        Chaos3000 started as a small game. The idea was to create a simple vertical shooter that looks like drawn with a pencil. After a while we realized that it was too hard to distinguish between background, enemies and bullets so the black and white only concept was discarded. After adding some color we
