Yes, you read the right, LD26<\/strong>.\u00a0 I’m still not finished with that one.\u00a0 The original was called Axis Invaders (actually inspired by the Jeff Minter game Laserzone) and was created in 135 minutes<\/a>.\u00a0 In this shooter you control two cannons at once, and you need both of them to destroy the enemies. I completely remade it.\u00a0 It took weeks, and I learned OpenGL ES 2.0. It was great fun playing around with shaders, and I really enjoyed using shadertoy<\/a> to create fragment shaders (although that website can lock up your computer, be warned!).<\/p>\n

I call the game XY Cannon.\u00a0 It will be released on Ouya and Android.\u00a0 This is my first Ouya game, my second game with music in it (not my own!), and my first game in OpenGL ES, so I’m really excited to get this out of the door.\u00a0 Here is a gameplay video of the work in progress being played on a cheap tablet.\u00a0 It’s not a very good video yet.\u00a0 It’s unedited and the video quality sucks.\u00a0 I’ll spend more time on a better video when the game is finished.<\/p>\n
