in case of videogame release

This day has come! A glorious day! Day of game release! I am very happy about to release my game! This is a very big event for me. In main, game was planned as retro game, like I B M PC MS DOS, or MSX2+, something like this. But for modern systems. Game is about patrol policeman. In a genre of racing with shooting. It is my such a theme.

Of course, I am, being enthusiast and a dreamer, already have a big plan in my mind about lots of continues for this game. But I will not say about the things that are only in letters. Just try to tell that there are ideas about to continue. About the idea that it is interesting for me to continue this game. I had even idea to connect with some USA musician from 80s.

 And it can be a game like this also, one day. It was ideas about to add in game 2d part with shooting, like action games. Policeman walks with sidescroll view and shoot enemies. It was ideas to continue this title. It is about to make better some points. For example, to change algorithm of road. And in my code all events are connected with the road logic.

So, this will affect most hard logics and a lot of them. But this will require a better skill. Because, of there are some difficulties with programming. And it is all goes slow, sometimes. And also, because of hard points also, I can make a pause in development. So, that’s why, some powerful ideas I let to the future.

I will tell in a short about release title. It is a retro racing with shooting. It is made with interest towards 80s, vhs. You are a patrol policeman. You are riding like a racing game from point A to point B.  And you patrol the road. You need to destroy bandits and chase street racers. You need to shoot enemies and to avoid city traffic.

You also have a turbine for speed up. Count that you are go in a patrol by the road. You have 13 missions. So, I already have written about a game itself in another articles. And, also, you can find lots of text about a game, at my website, about what it is and how to play it.

So, game is dedicated to action movies about policeman. Movies from 80s. Retro computers like Zx Spectrum. And 80s itself.

And at last, because of it is a release post. I can tell a littler about development process. Development was measured. It was some pause. In result, about a year of development. So, at first vision game planned to be simpler, than it become in result. So, during development it was added some cool features. Just like turbine and speed up.

Indicator of nearest streetracer. Also, a graphics was updated with ideas to make it better. It was added more details. So, at first, time I give some time for a thing called game play. So how it is playing. I test a game by myself. And, I setup different things. In a way to let it be more interesting to play. So, during development looks like I make a better some components of the game, according to initial plan.

So, how to describe game development process in a short way? I draw a lot, compose a music, think about gameplay, test gameplay, and 90 percent – all powers go to programming. So main deal is a programming.

So, yes, I can to draw a better graphics, to add more graphics. Or to put some time into a gameplay setting. But I decide no to do these. So, I have at the very first time some level of game. And I get this level in result. So, main problems were in programming.

So, for example, I have idea of some base part of the game in programming code. But at the end, I get the idea that it needs to be fully re written. So, development – it is mainly about programming. 9 out 10 – it is about programming.

 So, a special theme, not only a retro. It is about vhs records. I have several vhs records. At the point of interest. So, theme of Vhs also existed in this game.

Videogame a little made like Taito Chase HQ. In a vision, that you have some car that you need to chase and destroy. And here you have indicator of nearest streetracer. So, press Z to see it.

Game interface a little looks like Highway Star. But here we have some another indication. There are typical for every racing game, like score and speed. First level in game - it is night city. So, I remember that in Highway Star I like a lot second level. But it is another kind of city. And there is more deep night.

By pressing ESC you get the pause. And not a simple pause, but with game statistics. With information about what you need to do to complete a level. So, here, there is amount of destroyed bandits and streetracers. Amount of check points. How many of checkpoints you need to pass. So, during the gameplay, you can easy to do a pause. Take some time. And check about track information.

By the way, game is made in a retro style. Just like Nes, for example. So, there is no saves here. But there is a pause. So, you can complete a level. And made a pause. After this – go next, and so on.

Title screen looks a little funny. It is made based on Duke Nukem 1,2. It is a cool funny game, by the way. Two first Dukes. It is 2d.

Music in game is made with synthesizers. It is electronic. In style of 80s. Rhythm tracks. If you have tired from music, then music and sound you can make lower, or turn off. It is a cycled rhythm tracks.

Only one moment, that I don’t complete. I planned this game for GameJolt and Itchio. And it is made in a best way. And I planned to set a game with a small price. 1 dollar. So, give me 1 dollar, dude. But, sorry, that at the game release, system PayPal for me don’t work. I wait a while. And make a decision to make a game free. It is not a big deal. So, if PayPal will available after some time, then I go back to idea to set 1 dollar price for this videogame.

And, in everything else, that was planned, everything is done. 100 precents. And there is thing for upgrade. One moment, about programming part. So, I will need to start a programming from zero again next time. Because, I get the ideas that some things need to be done another way.

But it is a normal thing. And so, in result, I can recommend this title for everyone who is a fan of 80s, who have nostalgia about that time, about computers of 80s like Spectrum, MS DOS, MSX, Vhs cassettes! I am a fan of NES game system for myself. So, I can recommend d this game also for fans of 8 bit game. You can play it!
