Particle Boy - My first iOS Game
Hey guys! Thanks for checking this out.
Particle Boy is my first ever iOS game. Ive been working on it for 3 months now, and I hope to finish it in early september before my senior year at Stony Brook University takes over my life.
The stuff thats done so far is 4 weapons. A fireball, a meteor, a "bouncer", and a beam. Each one has 7 different evolutions and is evolved over time by killing a certain amount of enemies.
The game is a sidescroller. You simply move left,right and shoot, ocasionaly changing your weapon. There are also 3 long lasting spells. Each spell last a few minutes and is linked with a song and a weapon. There is a long lasting spell for the meteors, the beam, and the "bouncers". Spells have cooldown rates of 12 minutes and they are very powerful.
There are alos 3 different background themes that can occur. The first is "The Starry Night". It has fireflies moving around on the bottom with stars and shooting stars up top. I still want to get the stars scrolling with he player. The second is a Rain/Thunderstrom. And the third is a Firework celebration, I still want to get the fireworks to scroll with the player. I also still need music for each of these background themes.
TODO:
Add art - (Animated player and enemies)
Add music - for the different long lasting spells and themes that occur.
CRAP! Thank you Gobusto for pointing this out. It seems like I will not be able to use Sandblaster by Clearside or any of Matthew Pablos work in my game.
Do you think if I can get them to add CC-BY-CA 3 that iOS will then allow me to use it?
Okay so it seems Matthew Pablo and Bryan and the rest of the Clearside crew are down to change there Licenses to CC-BY 3.0.
One problem. Bryan from Clearside ddn't have an account when he uploaded Sanblaster and he can not change the license on OGA. Is there anyway to change it? Can he just email me a message licensing it to me under CC-BY 3.0? Or is there some other way of doing this?
And Matthew Pablo I think would rather just give me permission to use his songs via email or some other way too. Does anyone have experience with this?
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated, this has put a huge bump in the development of Particle Boy. The sooner this gets resolved the sooner I can finish this game and get it released on the app store :D
Thanks in advanced guys
So long as the author(s) give you permission to use their work under licence X, you can. They hold the copyright, and so they can choose to re-licence is as they choose.
Just because a licence isn't listed on OGA doesn't mean that an author can't dual-licence their own work under some other terms, should they decide to.
Thank you Gobusto, if you hadn't pointed this out I would have been screwed :D
Both musicians agreed to change thier licenses to CC-BY-3.0 Seriously, thank you Gobusto!

Hey guys I'm currently working on Particle Boy again. Long story short I'm doing it as a research project at Stony Brook University with Professor Richard McKenna's direction.
Anyway heres some new Ogres :D
Artwork is by OGA's Thorsten R. Mayer
As always I appreciate any and all Feedback and ugh.....I might be using Flight Test pretty soon to give out some beta copies to people for testing purposes.
If your interested in being a Beta tester let me know!
Thanks for your time guys!

Particle Boy is really getting there! Thank you everyoe for the love <3
PS I attatched a screen shot of the youtube video so you guys can see the progress. Sorry for the poort quality :x
The latest update is here! And unfortunaltey I havent really added in any new features. The past few weeks it's been all about balancing the gameplay difficulty as you play the game.
But I did add in a really cool new spell by acciednt. It's a rocket jump :D

If your curious how this happened, well....I'm not to sure lmao. I had code in Particle Boy before that made him bounce when he got hit, but the enemies had the same code. And when I was moving that code around this effect happened whenever he got hit! So then I was like alright I'll add in some Particles and a red flash and make a button for it :D
Oh! I'll be doing my first Public Beta Test of Particle Boy soon through Testflight
If anyone wants to be a Beta tester for Particle Boy. Click on this link below. Oh only if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch device unfortunatley. Annnndddd it's probably easiest if you click that on your actual device.
