Galactica : Space Warrior Game

OK... So lets Start blogging...

So as this is my first blog ever so i am not sure if it is going to be good or bad.... i should say first ever blog post.. LOL :D :D

So by now you people would have easily came to conclusion that what a "NOOB" i am when it comes to writing a blog...

OK, So my very first blog post...

It basically presents a game called "GALACTICA", a 2D top down Game, which i made at the time of my graduation, when i was in 3rd year.

So, the basic Plot of the game is that you are the player and you do have a Spaceship. A "SPACESHIP".. isn't it a WOW thing, that you just started a game and you are an owner of a SPACESHIP or at least a pilot of that SPACESHIP but still it is a SPACESHIP.

Oh, I used that word for more than 3-4 times, or to be exact 5 times in a single line.

Am i High or what... ok... leave it...

So as the game continues you have to go through the Seamless space and destroy all the enemy Spaceships that are trying to attack on the earth...

So, now I know you'll all be eager to know/see how your Spaceship will look like....Yes the SPACESHIP...

So this is the Player's SPACESHIP.... Isn't it looks cool??

Yeah Yeah! I know now all you people will be saying that i download it from Google or whatever website you people know...or yes in whatsoever game you would have played having this spaceship.
But this one looks COOL, right? And yes my thanks to the artist who made this Spaceship and posted it online so the people like us, "The Noob Game developers" can use it in our own games.

Oh so i forgot about the main part of the game i.e. the game development part, and got carried away with the SPACESHIP thing. Am really very sorry.

OK, the game is developed in.... Mmmm... Leave it we'll talk about the technical part later on....now i will first show you guys how my game exactly looks like....

Yeahhh! My first game... m so happy... :) :)

So the first thing that comes up when you start the game is the EXE file... LOL... What you people thought that i will be showing you the start screen or something like that? Never mind... happens...

OK enough with the jokes...

So now when you click on the EXE file of the game the first thing comes up is a black window... :D :D

I think i should stop doing that...this funny thing is not funny anymore, right?

So the first thing that comes up is the Main Logo Screen of the HGE i.e. Haaf's Game Engine.

I wont be discussing out it right now. We'll discuss about it later on during the games technical description.

So now Finally the game starts and the Start screen of the game comes up.

So now you people will be like, Finally this guy started talking about the game.

YEAAAHHHH! THE MAIN SCREEN (START SCREEN) OF THE GAME.

Am sorry friends m just too much excited about doing this blog thing, I mean writing blog...

I was never into presenting things to other people, I was the one who always needed some help when it came to present the things i have made, as I am not a good speaker... and nor a good writer though.

So this is the Game's "Start Screen"... So here the user will be like... Ooooh! Spaceship game,,, but yeah he will also be like... Hmmm m gonna choose the one on the right...no no no the one on the left... but am sorry friends the only ship you will be able to use in this game or say the GAME is going to force you to you, will be the middle one...Yes the one i Showed you in the beginning...

An yeah I forgot this thing...the most important thing....the name of the game...it is not just "GALACTICA"... It is "GALACTICA : Space Warrior Game"... Yeah! Space Warrior... You have to save the World, the Earth from the aliens Spaceships, trying to attack your home planet.

Enough with the Jokes... now i will be posting all the images related to the game and the game play as well. So, now no more commentary.

Main Menu Screen

Option Screen

Controls Screen

So these are the Screens which you people can access from the main menu. And yes I know the look pretty dull if compared the way I started talking about the game. But guys this was the very first game I started working on. Yeah there were two more games I worked on before this one:
1. Ping-Pong
2. Brick Breaker
but yeah they were not that much good looking as this one...

OK..you don't think so? Have a look at those games then :

Ping-Pong

Brick Breaker

So these were all the images related to the game "GALACTICA : Space Warrior Game".

Now Below is the game play video of the game:

So sorry guys, i don't know what happened, i was not being able to record the sound of the game. The only sound there was mine. Am really very sorry. I will be uploading a video soon with good sound of the game, a bit mine too...

So this was the game play description and the overview of the game. Now am going to explain a bit about the technical stuff related to the game.

This game is developed on the software provided by Microsoft i.e. Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2010. As this game is platform dependent so the game has to programmed on the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) which is designed for creating Applications for that particular platform as in this case its is Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2010 which is produced by Microsoft for developing applications for windows.

To develop a game we need one more thing than the IDE, that is a game engine on which the game is going to be developed.

A Game Engine is system designed for the creation and development of video games for consoles and PC’s as well. The core functionality typically provided by a game engine includes a rendering engine, a physics engine, sound scripting, animation, AI, Networking etc.

The game Engine used in this game is HGE i.e. Haaf’s Game Engine, which is an easy to use yet powerful hardware accelerated 2D game engine.
