Freefall v0.1 Dives onto PSPs

Freefall


Vettefan has released his first game he has ever made for the PSP today coded in Lua. This amazes me that vettefan has worked so quickly as he only started coding this yesterday! It's called Freefall, and in case you haven't heard of the original game before, Its a game of well-timed button bashing where you have to avoid the black bars, effectively 'land' in the sky (hey, I never said it was realistic) in order to survive and reach a high score.

This is the initial release, and Vettefan has informed us that it does contain a bug at the moment, with you having to press the start button a couple times in order to continue after you collide with a bar sometimes. This does not effect the core gameplay aspect, with smooth, responsive controls supporting a great game with decent graphics. Vettefan plans to add a menu, some sound effects, and a fixing for the game over screen in future releases.


The great thing about this is that it is a pick up and play title. The controls are really simple: Just use L to move left, and R to move right. After letting go of a button you will continue to slowly "sway" into that direction (as if you were really parachuting), and pressing both L+R will slow down your falling, and steady you out. So, if you can't afford to parachute, or your just too scared, give this one a try. Lua Player is required.

 » Why are their flamers?
Why do people flame coders, when they can't code themselves. You are a bunch of retards who sit behind their PC screen thinking they can say what they want. He's only been at it at a day. What would you think if people were saying it was ***** etc. Give the man a break. Good job anyway, I will be giving this a go :)

Actually, that was mostly ADePSP.

BTW, this game has a lot of room for improvement but it is good for a first release.

 » Nice first game nasty comments
Ok first off;
How many of you guys who leave nasty comments have actually made a game yourself (even in lua)?

How I figure it is you guys havent so dont know the work which goes into one. Ok lua is EASIER to code in but still not EASY.

Vettefan nice game, keep up the good work

actually it was both of us.
I found all the things that are changed and ade coded it.

and I don't mind the people flaming it, I'll admit that it's not the best, but I mainly made it just to see how lua works, and lua was easier to code straight from the psp (about 75% of it was done entirely on the psp)

and for about 2 hours work I'd say it's not that bad.

I should have something better soon, now that I'm familiar with the functions of lua I'll do something much better.

oh god, kyle m. and horrible grammar ways are back. Do you honestly ever proof read what you write? QJ should have a requirement that news posters pass a test where they can write coherent english.

Man, it was so nice without you around.
