Blaze is a retro/minimalistic styled sci-fi first person flight/shooter action game. The game can be played almost single handedly with just mouse. It's about shooting a lot of alien things (in semi-randomized missions?). The alien things are trying capture all your base, and have already captured at least half of it. You have to defend the base and capture the alien controlled areas back. Or something like that...
Reworked it some more. Completely redesigned the aiming device and added new details. The arm/weapon size is now more balanced. The model has a simple 128x128 texture.
It could be reloaded. It could eject some empty cases when fired.
Not sure if I'll do the pickup items with the 8 angles. The front/back angles don't really work so well with the gun. So maybe they just show/spin the side angle all around.
Maybe I render the arm/weapon smaller. While now the sizes on them are more balanced, they still fill one quarter of the screen, which is just a bit too much. Alternatively I could just offset the sprite lower.
My next plans are to do this kind of detailing for the Grenade Launcher and the Rocket Launcher. As I'm also making them reloadable.. the Rocket Launcher may need to be completely redesigned. The current one would only fit 1 rocket, while the Grenade Launcher fits 6 grenades. I'm thinking the Rocket Launcher should fit at least 4 rockets.
The current Rocket Launcher could eventually be made into some Mega Missile Launcher, so I'd have some use for the model.
