HA Progress Pics

[Rid3r]

Hello again. I've recently done some work on my game, Halo: Apocalypse. Mainly on the menu. The attached image shows this.

Info:
The menu no longer uses the arrow keys. It's just click with the mouse.

Button Info:
> Campaign
Shoot the aliens. May I say any more?

> Multiplayer
Play 14 different gameplay types on 7 different maps with your friends

> Trophies
-Store [NEW!] (Attached Pic 2)
Buy cheats, unlockables and playable songs with collected Gears (HA's currency).

-Ranks [NEW!]
See what you've earned and buy ranks from the store with it.

> Profiles
Make a profile. Edit a profile.

> Settings
Set the controls, use gamepads, change the music, etc.

> Quit
Self-explanatory.

Update: [NEW!]
I am currently rewriting the whole engine (nothing will be changed, but things will work better and faster). There are a couple of annoucements too:
> Hololifts
Lifters that propel the player up to twenty feet in the air (good for escapes and other things)

> New Campaign Level (Lost Island)
It's a rehaul of the beta version. BIG rehaul.

> Buying Music
HA's store allows you to "buy" music from the game so you can play a different soundtrack or make a new one for multiplayer levels.

> Ranks
HA's trophy case! You can buy ranks for yourself to unlock things and to show your superiority over other online players.

Looks good. The programmer on my team needs to study loading external files. This'll be one of if not the best Halo game made with GM.

Do you think it'd be possible to have code that checks whether the music files are in a predetermined place, and if the files aren't there(music files for example), then they'd load midi versions? That might be a way to give people that don't have DSL to get at least some music without having to download a huge file. It'd obviously use the 'if' statement most.

I could also have a seperate version without music. Thanks for replying.

If your programmer needs any help, just search "External Resources" on the GMC. The example I learned about them from added the resources in (because if you replace them, it just isn't worth it to have just as many resources you had already)

Awesome looking. Can't wait to play it. Where will it be available? Or is it already?

 

[Rid3r]

The Winter Demo is out, even though it's kind of old. Just make sure you have Windows on your computer.

EDIT: This is kind of embarrasing, but I can't find the link...
Don't worry, I'm releasing a small beta of the new engine Wednesday or Thursday.
