Relax - A canceled project
There is this project I started before Star Cage that got dropped after 2 days. It was a part of the series of dropped projects preceding Star Cage but with this one I went the farthest. I even meant to write an article about these projects entitled "Diaries of a mad game designer" but after few paragraphs I wanted to puke so...forget that.
Relax supposed to be yet another ultra-violent game with excessive gore effects, but since just about everyone and their nana made a bloody game and some were taken to very perfection, I got sick of Relax very soon and finishing it didn't feel like a rewarding thing to do.
Anyway, since there is something to show...I'm showing it. And offering the idea/concept and the code for the grabs. If anyone is interested. It's all in the readme. Cheers!

A note: If you are going to host this file somewhere don't put it in any FB games/projects section. It's a wasted program so that's where it should be. Some sort of "Unachieved code" section, if you have it. :P

What program do you use to create your graphics files?

I used PixelPlus 256 to draw the sprites and test their animation. Then I took screenshots of all the sprites while inside PP256 with a DOS screen capture program. I rearranged and cropped the sprites and saved them in BMP files using another obscure DOS drawing program called GrafX. After than I converted the images into 24 bit mode using The GIMP, ver 2.2.
The only reason why I extracted the sprites from PP256 and converted them into 24 bit mode is because I planned to do some things with the sprites I couldn't do in 8 bit mode, like blood being washed off the play field with rain after a round ends using ALPHA translucency.

Lachie, this probably isn't the thread, but have you noticed your website's been hacked?

No. I didn't visit that site for ages since I can't update it anymore (because of a college firewall). When I organize my life and get a home Internet connection I'll rebuild and recreate both of my sites. One day.
Anyway, I seem unable to access http://kentauri.digitalblackie.com at all so I can't check what has been done with the articles page. Can you tell me what's going on there?

I rar'd it and uploaded it to my website so you could see it.

P.S. I really liked relax. I took me a minute or so to realize I could shoot the legs of people. (insert murderous glee). You should look into making a game like Chiller.
