Thanks to HK's diligent work, we believe that all major bugs in Warhawk have been
squelched.
So, it is all about me finishing the attack waves (half way there) and us/HK giving it a good polish!
Who knows how long this will take, but it is getting a lot closer to release!
From HeadKaze:
Yes we've both been pretty keen to get the code bug free and Flash and I squashed two big ones recently and although it's hard to have totally bug free code (especially in asm) we are pretty sure there will be no "show stopping" bugs in the final release.
While I'm polishing things off in the game code and adding some of the final features (sorry too top secret to mention!) Flash is doing an amazing job of the attack wave system (using my custom written WANK app). To give you an idea of the work involved each level takes around 6-8 hours to create! The most important part of Warhawk is it's gameplay so it's important to get the gameplay and ballance right because we want Warhawk DS to have lots of replay value.
I'll have to admit I'm not a big SHMUP fan but I do enjoy playing Warhawk DS (and for fun too not just testing) and I can say the gameplay and ballance is well tweaked. I find I often finish levels by the skin of my teeth so it's a testimate to the time Flash is putting into them.
We are closer to release but please be patient as it will be done and dusted soon enough!
