I've uploaded a few videos giving some early looks at the second game we're making at Funavision. However, I'm only posting them here on my site and not on the Funavision website. The reason for this is because Youtube kind of butchers the video from our game... and I'm yet to really figure out a way to prevent that.
See, our second game does a lot of stuff with moiré patterns, which unfortunately seem to be the first things to get obscured when Youtube starts optimizing videos for playback. The end result is video that doesn't exactly look like the actual game.
For absolute best effect, play these videos in the maximum HD setting and at full screen. Read on for the videos....
The first video is simply of an enemy called "Squirter". This enemy has no real attack- they can't directly damage you. They can, however, obscure the game field by filling it with an inky cloud.
The second video is of a "Space Jellyfish". This will likely be the first boss you encounter in the game. It includes the music we currently have planned for the boss battles (once again, our awesome musical score will be done by Glen "DoctorCal" Smith).
Finally, we have a small teaser trailer that I'm not at all happy with and may likely delete. It includes some early level design (including a couple that I think suck and will likely be removed from the final game). It also includes bit of the in-game cinematics, but that stuff really looks bad on Youtube. I mean, it's basically video of a video, or a copy of a copy, so we obviously lost data in the process. The end result looks shitty, IMHO, but I haven't yet been irritated enough with it to delete the video outright. I share this video only because it's currently available.
