Purple Reign – A love letter to awesome games.

Of course I didn’t finish!

So I didn’t manage to put more than one enemy in, or add any more than one weapon. (I spent most of the day doing pathfinding, and they still run around in circles in some situations!)

What I did come up with was a 6 level demo of something that may become an even better game, as it stands it’s very playable!

Windows binaries are here: http://myrmidonprocess.com/ludum/12/PurpleReign.rar

It comes with a readme to tell you how to play.

Thanks for another awesome weekend everyone!

[EDIT]

Turns out the dev tool I used has a ridiculous bug in Vista where it attempts to create a full screen window but most of the time just crashes. If you can’t play download this patch which simply just forces windowed mode. It might fix a couple of other crashes too.

I’m not sure what’s wrong with vista, i’m convinced it’s a bug in Bennu. :(

I spent an hour or two after work borrowing one of the Vista machines trying to fix this bug, but to no avail. There seems to be some sort of overflow with text printing that I can’t do anything about.

This has some great atmosphere and visual style, I hope more is done with it.

Stupid vista… game looks like its lots of fun :D. I’m a sucker for top down alien shooters.

Yeh, I got caught on the Vista bug too. Runs fine using Wine under Ubuntu 8.04 though ! Sweet game.
