I was curious about the hitbox (I don't mind a large hitbox, though I seem to be in the minority)...what is it currently? Do you think it is a variable you will tweak or have you settled on it?

Right now, it's a few pixels less than the actual sprite size. Any and all tweaks will be done in beta testing based on tester input.

...AND I just realized that the term "hitbox" is rather unfortunate given the games four protagonists!

I'm not sure I follow.

Sounds good.

OK so y'all wanted an update... alrighty then.

The first four levels are just about complete background-wise; just waiting on some sprites for the stages now. Scoring system is almost fully implemented... just missing one detail to that. I am about to switch from snd.c to Squirrel 3.0 for the sound effects; I think that snd.c may be one of the current bottlenecks, and Squirrel is much more mature anyway. There's a little bit of occasional slowdown when playing 2 player, but it's not nearly as bad as some of those SNES shooters constantly had with only 1 player.

The game is challenging, but not over-the-top difficult. It can, of course, be customized to be more challenging, but by default, it's not too much of a headache. By default, it is probably about as challenging as Air Zonk's "Spicy" mode.

I may do more gameplay videos at some point, and as soon as we finish populating levels 3 and 4, beta testing will begin.

Excellent news man. I am still drooling over it, especially after the newest screen shot! Looks absolutely amazing!

This is taking longer than expected but it's still moving forward. Nando has just been swamped with work lately but we're still going. The entire game is *technically* playable right now from beginning to end, just some levels have enemy patterns from previous levels. More screenies soon.

Just a quick update here... yes, we are still working on this, but we have been keeping it a bit quiet as of late. I am going to do a huge update very, very soon so everyone can see where it stands.

Early next year.

I can't wait. It's worth it though!

[nodtveidt]

Just a quick heads-up... said big update will be coming on Wednesday, if all goes according to our diabolical plans. I am going to be doing a new "promo video" with a bunch of new stuff that hasn't been seen yet.

Here's a preview... Stage 1 has gotten new background work, and the UI has been overhauled.
