Abandoned Games

I am terrible at concluding games, and always end up with a project having much larger scope than I can cope with. Thus, I abandon the project.

This is the dump for the abandoned projects.

I swear officer, it just rose out of the ground!

Thursday Afternoon

A to-be-exploration/adventure game. I managed to create a scripting engine before abandoning this project due to collision detection.

The graphics are nothing but stand-in, but nevertheless show the points they need.

Realtile

A fairly decent dynamic tile-map-engine (and a working path-finding algorithm) is backing this strategy game with no purpose.

I actually got my hands dirty and made some simple graphics to go with this. As you can see, this is not the way to go.

Rocket

Starting out as a simple 1 vs 1 networked rocket battle (which I perhaps even could have managed), it grew into a C-behemoth Action-RTS-to-be.

It lost its spark after introducing newtonian physics and orbital bodies.

Console

Massive terminal hacker simulation – haven’t even finished the basic system commands yet. Too realistic for its own good, I think.

This, like our current Hacksim project, was a joint effort between me and Akselii. The background is random code excerpts.

Tennis for One

Tennis for Two was possibly the first computer game (it predates pong) – and who wouldn’t fall for the charm of an oscillator? I know I did, hence this game.

Despite the game being called Tennis for One, it is actually for two players on one keyboard.

Defcon 1980 (late)

Update of the early Defcon 1980, featuring timing, sound and heat-seeking missiles. I accidentally kept a debug build, and as such, you start off with a million points.

This also marks my venture into multiple source files, a small step in the right direction.
