No new version yet? Game won't fix itself, as far as I know -- |

Here you go. I think the bug has been fixed, and you can also build Spark Towers now (although I think their range is a bit too short... comment on that!). ... Matthew, if you're reading this, there's a bug with attachments. The link to the file I just attached comes out as "http://www.allegro.cc/files/attachment/", which probably isn't correct, right? -- |

Cool, working now. The Spark tower hasn't got the opportunity to test itself, as it is surrounded by lasers and missiles (Edited: Oh, there... too short, and too slow). -- |

I would suggest increasing the Spark towers range and speed as well, too make it worth the cost. I beat 11 waves, and missed the last invader on wave 12, who took away the last of my health. Better Spark Towers would really help. BTW, awesome game, sound will make it even better. Is it in the Depot yet? [EDIT] |

Had 2 problems: Somehow (dunno how still) I started a game, and could not build anything. Hovering the mouse above the icons would not select anything, and I had the $600. Also, just after I finished the first wave with a missile and two lasers, the game crashed. Will need a debug build to check that out (that is, if I can reproduce it again). CosmicInvaders. caused an Access Violation at location 0514a464 Reading from location 05258000. Registers: eax=00000000 ebx=0514a008 ecx=0047b060 edx=0047b060 esi=05258000 edi=050fd458 eip=0514a464 esp=0022fa66 ebp=0022fa78 iopl=0 nv up ei pl nz na pe nc cs=001b ss=0023 ds=0023 es=0023 fs=0038 gs=0000 efl=00200202 Call stack: 0514A464 By the way, I really liked the fact that, if the target of a missile is destroyed by another weapon, it will turn around and target another instead of just exploding. -- |

I tried your new version, spark tower is almost useless, but it looks so cool! ____ "The unlimited potential has been replaced by the concrete reality of what I programmed today." - Jordan Mechner. |

Paul is right, I get 50% CPU usage (HT). Yielding is exactly the contrary you want here, X-G, you want to rest. Level 12, 11 missiles and 3 lasers. By the way, when I lose, if I choose "No", the game does not reset. -- |

I like how people keep restating the obvious, such as that choosing "no" doesn't restart the game. That's not what it asks you about, people. Anyway, attached is another debug build -- see if that gives us any insight. Oh, and spark towers will be rebalanced; both made faster and with increased range. Once I implement upgrades, they'll be even better; chain lightning ftw! -- |

Haven't been able to reproduce it yet. The tower's range is fine, but you should make them faster, and start firing as soon as you drop them on ground, so that you can replace whatever you have with towers if the waves come too near. -- |

Nice game, It's going to be fun when finished. Wave 12 is as far as I can get without dying.

Same here. Adding an upgrade system for the structures (more damage, faster firing, etc.) could be really neat, if you weren't already planning on that. |

X-G's first post said: It's still work in progress. Thus, there are planned features not yet in the game, such as the ability to upgrade towers once placed, more types of towers, more enemy types, and boss waves. edit: Quote: Sometimes I really get the feeling none of you even read the first post.

I can't run it at all. It flashes then exits. |

Debug build doesn't help. Maybe you could include the pdb and/or the source? -- |

Sorry, didn't see that part. I didn't read much below the download, so I missed it. |

The groundwork is there, nice graphics. I'm looking forward to seeing it develop actual gameplay with more towers, enemy types and stuff. Anyway, the spark towers seem almost useless now. By the time they're actually in range, you are usually fried, and the fact that they fire only once in a long while doesn't help them. Got to level 12, 6 missiles on the sides, and all lasers in the middle. --------------------------- |
