KaBoom! Nice Guys, I love the hyperbole describing the game :wink:

Took me several tries to get in the top 10, it's tough to keep frantically aiming around trying to predict where the tanks/jeeps are going to be when the rockets hit.

Everything looks great, the only thing that looked a little weird is the tanks sliding around, they move like bumper cars on ice. I guess that might be necessary or their movements would be too predictable and easy to hit.

That rocket launcher sound is very familiar :wink: I used the same one for a demo a while ago.

 

My audio guy made that up. Or at least he said he did

 

Awsome! Got to number one (not for long though!).

Liar :wink:

The web offers up all this great stock media, you just need to tweak it a little to make it your own and unrecognizable to other people.

 

If you don't make the high score, the prompt says:

"Your score was was not in the high score table" (note: double was) - just thought I'd let you know

 

I can see a lot of little fixes in the future.

I didn't get to spend hardly any time fixing the stupid little mistakes, because we figured if we delayed much longer, this thing would never come out.

 

Fair enough, just thought I'd post incase it slipped your eyes!

 

I get severe lag even on 640x480 with lowest graphics settings.
Awesome part is when it gets below about 5 fps, my guy starts shooting a rockets a lot faster then normal.

 

Run Open Fire on MacBook(not pro) @ 1280 * 800 and graphics set at fantastic. runs very smooth, freak me out when the screen shook, i thought it was my machine. Nice touch!!

I've just been going through some of the Showcase
stuff using the Windows Web Player - great stuff
in the making.
Open Fire loses it's mouse/aiming cursor in full
screen mode.
No mouse cursor on start up menu in full screen mode either.
Windows Xp SP1 / Internet Explorer 6

Excellant fun though - especially in full screen mode - after I'd blown myself up a few times, shooting blind gave an added depth of realism ..

Nice work.

Yeah - that worked on me too.

 

I like it

Smoke, fire, all good!

I like the side-firing arrangement, a nice change from the usual bottom-up style.

The guy seems a little big for the tanks, but I can see that you want him big enough to see.

 

Thanks for the encuragement. I did all the art, and yah there are some bad scales in there Like the hummers are not well scaled eather. But I learned a lot. Oh and the rocket is HUGE. Jeff

 

louis, I think y ou were playing the widget contest version.

I wonder if OTEE could have a link to the newer version of Open Fire on the same page as the contest version?

Edit: actually, I don't know what version you were playing, what link did you go to? But my previous request still stands...
