Kryten's Remakes

WIP - Gaslight

2011-01-17T14:39:00.000Z

I recently switched over from Blitz3D to GLBasic, and am currently working on a puzzle game which is inspired by a web game called Cofusebox, and a bit of reading into how to generate mazes.

The aim of the game is to align all the pipes in the grid correctly, so that the gas flows to each outlet point, providing light.

Features include 3 skill levels and a freeplay mode (see screenshot), wrapped up in steampunk / victorian themed graphics. Each skill level will consist of approx 20 levels, followed by random level generation.

Currently the main maze generation / control engine and first pass of the menu system is complete, sounds are in and placeholder music also in place.

Just started on the progression for the skill levels, and transition effects.

Release - sometime this year!

Chronos - A Tapestry of Time

2009-11-08T17:10:00.003Z

Remake of an old ZX Spectrum shoot em up from 1987 by Mastertronic, and my entry for the Retro Remakes 2006 Competition (placed 9th of 76).

The story went something like this...

In the beginning when the universe was new, the Seven Ruling Lords did create their own races, and so Wodan created Man and Chronos created the Mystical Dimension Weavers, a powerful race of high intellect and integrity - or so it was thought.....

No one could have forseen how ambitious and treacherous the weavers would become and how they would scheme and plot against Chronos until they day came when they made their move and entrapped the helpless Chronos beyond the realms of existence as we know it, in another time dimesion. In desperation the remaining Lords sent forth their champions to defeat the Weavers and release the incarcerated Chronos.

This however has nothing to do with you, as the game is about firing groups of 8 consecutive pixels at much higher conglomerate groups of pixels in the hope of amassing a memorable score.

Locomotion

2009-11-07T13:37:00.001Z

This is a remake of an old ZX Spectrum puzzle game from 1985 by Mastertronic.

Locomotion is a relatively simple "sliding block" type puzzle game.
Rearrange the tracks to form an unbroken path so your wayward engine can get back to the station safely. On the way collect track bonuses (blue) and avoid track hazards (red). You can pause each level for a maximum of 60 seconds - this will stop the train moving until you unpause or the timer runs out.

Confluence

2009-11-06T11:05:00.001Z

This is a sort of remake of a web game I found, using the demo version of GL Basic.

The concept is pretty simple, try to remove as many blocks as possible.

Made with the demo of GL Basic, so it will time out after 5 mins, but youll probably be bored of it by then anyway.

Pi There!

2009-11-05T12:10:00.001Z

An appropriate first post i think.

This is a remake of the old ZX Spectrum game of the same name, originally written in 1985 by Chris Edwards and Gavin Wade, and published under the Automata name.

The aim of the game is simple - change the colour of the blocks on each level while avoiding the various roaming nasties and getting zapped by the Eye of Pi.
