Battle Trains, ProtoType Test needed.

Hi, My name is mark and i have a game prototype called "Battle Trains".
Its Not a cleaned up with terrain and other added features yet.

I am looking for someone to help me decide if its worth finishing.

Things i need to know from your test.

1. Are the controls are too hard to learn? Any Suggestions About controlling the train. What do you think of the added Arrows? Useful? (i mean the white arrow in front of train) Is the train moving to fast to control?

Note: I could add a option so you only see your arrow, and only see it if you want to, like a arrow on arrow off spell. (I know arrow only works for red at the moment but i only care if it works for red at the moment, because i may scratch the arrow entirely.)

2. Assuming the controls wouldn't be a problem.
With Some added Levels, Runes you could drive over to increase your speed, attack or ect. small tweaks
Perhaps a upgrade center, that would increase your heath move speed or missiles. A much increased terrain. And just all cleaned up.
Would this game be fun? Would this game be worth finishing.



Note: Type "Test" If you would like to see whats going on in the code.

Note: This current model is really only playable single player, but the game would be 4 player, last one i have with 4 player is in link below. This is a testing phase for me to hammer out the main Functions like (How to control your train easily first.)

The Info For the game is here, plans ect.

I have considered salvaging the games core by making it a few many games as it is in this thread but i got no feed back for anywhere so i assume that its not a existing game for others.

Very interesting. Worth finishing.

Some issues:
-The random areas past the black boundaries. Remove.
-Think of a way to randomise the track layout. Will be really cool.
-More camera styles: same turning as train.
-Everything was really small. We don't have to see the whole map, do we?
-As you say, terrain is unfinished.
-You might want to consider allowing each played to choose a train.
-Idea: the train grows with each kill. Think (12) Worm Wars.

Overall it made me "lol kwel" for a few minutes. Make it 12 player and bigger. Potential.

Hmm, I relly like the idea that the train grows...

I have tons of ideas to add things. i would call them "Injections" like runes you can get, or levels for your trains, more armor, more ram damage. ect.

"-Think of a way to randomize the track layout. Will be really cool."
Ya thats a cool idea, but it would be one of the last things i would do.

I don't think the Terran would look really nice but it could still look if everything was randomized.


This thread was more about controlling the train more. i know all that stuff needs updated. But thnx for the input.

I am still working on the major functionality of it, first. and this is to see if the controls are easy enough. if so ill continue work, if not how to do fix the problem easily.



Anyway thnx :)
