Of course, not all of them – maybe 1 ship out of every 10 or so? If you have the time, exploding ships should create a debris cloud which is almost as hazardous to your ships as the original ship was – possibly more so!","spam":"N"},{"author_name":"","time":"April 18, 2009 4:39 am","epoch":1240047540,"text":"@5sparrowhawk: Yeah– I was debating this. At this point I am still leaning towards the concept where these are your race’s colony ships.. more transports than heavy fighters. Their priority is getting the hell outta there and saving who they can. I hear ya that the capital ships exploding would be fun. Perhaps cannon’s back on the main planet are providing support fire? Or you can call in a power up attack now and again that you have to be sure to avoid yourself.. that can take out a big ship but then you have to avoid the debris? Many ideas I’m sure I’ll ponder as this develops.","spam":"N"}],"epoch":1240045380,"likes":0,"metadata":{"p_key":"73787","p_author":"HybridMind","p_authorkey":"234","p_urlkey":"109609","p_title":"Wall of Space Doom!","p_cat":"LD #14 - Advancing Wall of Doom - 2009","p_event":"LD14","p_time":"1240045380","p_likes":"0","p_comments":"4","p_status":"UPD5","us_key":"234","us_name":"HybridMind","us_username":"hybridmind","event_start":"1239926400","event_key":"90","event_name":"LD14"},"text":"

So.. finally got an idea I feel like running with on this theme:<\/p>\n

First, the mockup!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(Click image to view larger<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Anyway.. the simple concept is you are controlling a fleet of the last ships of your race.\u00a0 You are fleeing your planet as an alien armada of doom approaches.\u00a0 You will be able to move your fleet up\/down\/left\/right and there will also be a key that lets you toggle the density\/pattern of your fleet.\u00a0 Think of it as able to expand or contract.<\/p>\n

You will move through the armada avoiding colliding with capital ships and what will surely be horrendous energy weapons fire as they attempt to anihilate your race.<\/p>\n

You must get a least ONE of your ships through the armada to win.\u00a0 The more ships you get through the larger your bonus at the end for saving a larger gene pool of your race… \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Simple idea, hopefully the scope will be one of which I can get a fun, playable game out of before the deadline is up…<\/p>\n \n
