It would depend on what sort of shooter, if it was exactly like Gradius, I'd suggest powerups with limited time/ammo, if it were more like an Alien Hominid sort of thing, I'd suggest limited ammo, or time between firing, otherwise it'd be insanely easy for the player to win (with little effort required.)2012-06-12 13:35:00

You'll have to decide whether you want your camera to move, while the level is stationary, or to make the camera stationary, and the scenery moves past the camera.

Also, make sure that the player can only move in the camera area. You don't want the player being able to move out of the camera zone, or off screen.

Thanks folk I'm still planning it out but thinking about making the camera move since that allows for more detail in the level... I think but things aren't finalised yet. Going to try and do power ups but yet again still to plan them out but I've a feeling a spread shot might be in order.2012-06-15 03:49:00
