PSP Turrican WIP info

***wraggster*** · May 26th, 2006, 00:05

Arguru has posted some info on his new game coming soon for the PSP:

decided to extend a bit more my shoot-em'up engine (used for L.A.S.T. demo), to add non-linear scroll-maps, some 2d basic physics (body), and some map/tiling AI so map-text files can be edited easier (the engine will fill corners, shadows, etc).

This is not SMM engine (super mini mario), but a new rewritten one. Some screenshots of a basic-shooter, I used Turrican ripped graphics and some others, note that following maps are up of a bunch of 'R's (wich R means rock tileset), spaces and a few characters for enemy placement.

Despite it's all software rendering, it's running nicely at 60FPS with background parallax scrolling, etc. I'll come with some release game in a couple of weeks.

Just a question, but can you use the Analog stick to move around the gun's aiming and the Circle, Square, Triangle, X to move around the gun?

There was an old DOS game called Abuse, and they used the mouse to control the aim direction and the keyboard to move around the guy. Those controls worked GREAT. You got precision aim and amazing mobility. You can use the Shoulder buttons to Fire and Jump. And the directional pad to switch weapons, lob grenades, and change power-ups.
