Post news Report RSS The First Star Blitz X Devlog #1

Welcome to the first ever development blog for our debut game called Star Blitz X. Star Blitz X is 3D fps that is homage to the 1980s arcade shoot'em up. You control the Earth defense satellite called the Star Hammer as the goal is to protect the Earth for one minute by using a defense tactic to position, aim and shoot asteroids and missiles that are launched by the Gargon space invasion. Failure is not an option for every ten hit from the asteroids or missiles on the Earth and it's game over.

Development Update So far​​


Game Mechanic
We manage to include the camera rotation and the scene of the asteroid belt where the incoming asteroid or missile would appear before moving towards the screen and straight to the Earth. To move the camera by pressing the left or right ALT key and it would turn a 360 degree left or right from the front of the Earth or the asteroid belt.

What we are looking for feedback or suggestion in the latest game mechanic of the camera rotation, and the game play of the asteroid belt of how the player interactive in the scene.
