I’m close (I think!) to releasing my first Android App, it is a asteroid shooter which I’ve been working on for some time now on and off…I still need to fix a couple of things and finish implementing the highscore/achievements system but the majority of the game is finished now, I just need a little help testing it on some different devices, I have tried on several HTC phones, a Sony X10 and a motorola tablet, I’m hoping there wont be any compatability issues…Anyway, please have a play and let me know what you think, the link to the apk is on my website: http://code5.t15.org …there are installation instructions on there, tilt left/right to move and touch buttons to shoot, there is another weapon to unlock once you’ve destroyed enough asteroids as well as a regenerative shield to unlock from collecting power orbs…Icey comets will also start to appear later in the game, these upgrades will be made clearer once I finish the achievements…
Hope you like it, it’s not perfect as I’m still learning and I couldn’t have done it without the support of the Unity community, so thanks again!
I’ve updated the game quite a bit recently, I have changed the achievements system to a in-game shop where you can buy new weapons using credits earned in-game. I’ve made a webplayer version to make it easier for testing (arrows to move, click icons on lower right of screen to use weapons/shield)…comets and shield boosts will appear after a certain amount of kills/pickups…
Hope you like it…It’s getting there, but every time I add a new feature I think of another few that I want to add.
I dont think they rated my personal site as poor -, my site is a sub-domain, I know i know i need to get a .com The ship teleports as when on a mobile device it falls off one side of screen and re-appears on the other…Hope that makes sense, I’m hoping to get highscores working soon; SQL is not my friend!
Hi again! So I finally implemented serverside highscores, I’ve also increased performance so it runs smoother on older devices… Just need to add the help page and then it just needs some beautification I havent updated the web version as it is intended for android only but I may do in future. The link to download is on my homepage http://code5.t15.org
Let me know what you think, I really appreciate it, thankyou
My first thought is that you need to get better servers, not just a .com. It just took my about 5 minutes to download a 7mb file, and my internet is about 25mbps.
I then got it downloaded and realized it was only for android. I don’t have one, but I was gonna test it on my computer. I did play the webplayer and it didn’t seem to bad. I’d like to see how the high scores look. How are you storing them? I was also going to give the security a fairly rigid test.
But for real, if your game gets any bit of plays, those servers aren’t gonna take it. Look into getting a reputable host, not trying to be mean but no one’s gonna wanna play a game that has bad servers! I’m only paying $10 a month for servers that have 99.8% up time, 8mbps download, and 6mbps upload. Not amazing, but pretty reasonable.
