To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

just for the fun of it 50secs of massacre 😉
You made this game Gernot! 😮
I recognise the green explosions from your FFE3D mod 😉
Go on upload it! 🙂
😀
well, the game won't run standalone, the (new)seuck isn't able yet to create standalone games, there is a function for it, but it's broken 🙁
if interested anyway you can get it here, http://seuck.glbasic.com/
it runs under linux and mac as well and it's planned to release the stuff for handhelds and phones to.
of course i can post here my WIP, but 1st only one (very short) level is ready and 2nd you need the S.E.U.C.K to run it.
on the other hand, maybe this get's some people envolved in it, who knows... further you can tweak, change, rebuild the game easy within the seuck.
you have to place the file into the by the setup created "current user/SEUCK" folder (eigene dateien/SEUCK).
be warned the background isn't finished yet, so it's a stupid repetition of a single tile in the end.
only one level, but try to manage it to get to the end :D, the endlevel enemy is a beast, i had to cut his claws a bit.
but still the size and speed of the bullets makes it very hard to pass them.
some changes in the attack waves i have to made, that's something i have to learn, how to keep them on the screen.
btw, (GLBasic)seuck is able to create also other kinds of simple games, like horizontally scrolling jump and runs. a reason why he changed the name to G.A.C.K. (Games App Creation Kit) i guess, besides of possible copyrights to the name s.e.u.c.k.
a demo of such a jump and run game, it's not my work, it's made by the creator of the program as a demo how to create such (Gernot? funny coincidence).
don't fear G.A.C.K works in english to, you will be asked at start for the language.
GLBasic has a Forum and a SEUCK (show off) thread, well guess... i was the first who posted there something.

i could have named it "Pioneer shoot 'em up", because i used many screenshots of the models from it.
"Defender" (because of the ship) won't work 😥 so i chose "Eagle" this is save, Eagles we have many...
if it's just for fun, you can also use screenshots from "MAME" to create sprites, it's ripping i know but makes things easier. you could have a "Mario" as space ship, why not?
once you get common with it, it's really easy to create simple 2D games with the G.A.C.K.
Great! I will give this a try 😉
