[WIP] SPACEJACK 2114 - First alpha gameplay video

[spacejack]

SPACEJACK 2114 is a WebGL arcade-style space shooter. It's got a retro style of gameplay with modern WebGL graphics and shaders.

 

 

Here's my first gameplay video showing a bit of the game's attract loop, which plays demos in the background:

 

 

Sorry about the low video quality, I just tried using the free program EZVid for the first time. My PC doesn't seem to be fast enough to record smoothly. The game itself plays fullscreen at a solid 60FPS on any decent WebGL-enabled device/browser.

The game features randomly generated space backgrounds and a variety of other shader effects. Dynamic lighting is applied to sprites by using normal maps (I posted an article about that earlier here.)

I'm still planning to re-do many of the sprite graphics. And then there's sound...

Looks neat! Too bad there is no playable link

And after quite a bit more development than I anticipated, I finally have a playable link:

Try it out and let me know what you think! If you do play, please post your score - the replays are invaluable playtesting feedback!

worked well in my favoured browser (Firefox) - although the "/" key is in use by the browser and can't be used to shoot !!

Oh, I didn't realize that! You can use CTRL as well, but I don't think that's going to work with the WASD layout. I'll try to add some alternatives until I can implement full control configuration.

 

Thanks very much for trying it!
