THEMANDUS

Heathaze |

The player controls a team of robots who are tasked with clearing spaceships and space stations of various aliens that have taken up residence. Each of the nine alien types has distinctive behavior, some of which interact with each other. The challenge is to use the combined abilities of each robot to complete each level, which get ever more fiendish, and to unlock the better gear and upgrades. The games genre is an isometric shoot-em-up with tactical elements. We love feedback, so please post a comment if you have any to give.

Post news Report RSS THEMANDUS gets Dynamic Lighting

This major upgrade to THEMANDUS sees the introduction of dynamic lighting for a much more atmospheric game experience.

Posted by on

This major update contains some big graphical improvements and requires XNA 4.0 redistributable.
NOTE: Because XNA 4.0 uses a different format for files, you must perform a FULL REINSTALL to upgrade to this version.

THEMANDUS build 0.17b

Details are as follows:

  • Migrated game to XNA 4.0
  • Dynamic Lighting added to robots, explosions, alien teleports and a number of the weapons
  • Implemented energy transfer and energy transfer x 2 software. Energy transfer allows turrets and robots to receive power by being close to the source rather than over it. Recharging is now visible on screen as a lightning bolt
  • Some aliens now have a chance to drop coins - royalty drop gold, shield bearers drop silver
  • Star backgrounds now scroll on some levels
