Duael Invaders - PSN minis - first art revealed

Hi everyone,

As promised last week, here's some more detail on 'Duæl Invaders'. :)

The game is first and foremost a super-old-school twist on the single-screen shooter, as personified by Space Invaders, but with the following USPs:

  • Two player ships are in play simultaneously, on opposite sides of the display.
  • The game has simple colour matching to score more points (although just blasting away's fine if that's your cup of tea). One player ship is red, the other is blue. Enemies are also red or blue; shooting the same colour scores more points - simple.
  • Enemy movement direction and aggression are controlled by the player ships using a mechanic we've called 'Skew'. It's kind of like 'Aggro' in other games (look it up)... :)

 

Here's the 'Duæl Invaders' game logo!

 

And here's one of the game banners (showing off some enemy types down the middle).

 

Pretty sweet huh? :)

I've also got a few pictures of player ships, an enemy and an early screenshot, although much of the art in the screenshot is highly likely to change, particularly the explosions and the background itself. Here it all is:

 

These are your player ships.

Take care of them! :)

 

And here's the 'Diver' baddie (facing up screen) in red and blue.

He is scary and has nasty pincers. :(

 

Here's a Work-in-Progress screen, showing off a formation of enemies and some other bits.

The art isn't finished yet, so be nice. :)

 

And that's that. Next week I'll be explaining a bit more about Skew and how it works, along with some other bits and bobs I haven't thought of yet. ;)

 

Bye for now!

Al
