a bit of level 5 is now done...

I have used an idea from BaDToaD, and it works really well... Bit tricky to add, but hey - had to be done...

I will say no more and let players discover it!

Still looking for another playtester? We have BaDToaD, Lobo, and - er... me and HK dont count... so, I could do with someone else, perhaps who can also test in hardware?

This has got to be a bit dull, this thread... level 1, level 2, level 6, etc.....

so, in leu of more vids (though I really want to show my highscore fireworks :( ) here is me hard at work playing with level 8....

and you should see it move :) he he

Just a note, for those who wish to play... you can download "WANK" from here and also the latest level data and see how it is all put together.

WANK works to create the attack wave externally for use in the Warhawk attack engine.

It is VERY versatile and enables most things to be done in the construction of Warhawk attacks. Warhawk uses 4 attack types. with the main being linear and curved. The curved patterns work on a fast beizier based system (well - a way of doing it so it looks the same).
Well, the answer is "yes" the tool could easily be reused on any game that uses alienwave.s from the Warhawk source... and it is our official tool :)

Oh well... half of level 8 is done and looking mighty sweet!! the nicest attack patterns as yet :) Oh, I wish i could show - but that would just ruin it for ya :)

Ok, here is half of level 9 (3 hours work - so getting quicker)

What is a bit sad is you spend so long getting acrobatic aliens and pretty patterns, and all you bastards are gonna do is bloody shoot them :) LOL

Ok, also, with HK's latest updata of WANK we now see how much memory the attack waves take... so far it sits at a MASSIVE 64k for all of them ;)

ps... what the hell is going on in the picture? :)

Well - it is level 10, but perhaps it is getting a 'little tricky'

Nice screenshot :) You know there may be an instance in the later levels where it might make sense to swap a level or two around. So I say leave it as is and tweak later.

At last, level 11 is finished.. This one took quite some time as I wanted to make it a little bit harder but with a few fairly safe spots to help you get through it. There are a couple of new things in this level so, as the first of the "extra" levels and Lobo's first (level designe) also, I hope I have done it proud!
I wish I could post more screens, but.... nah! One for each complete level is enough... he he
