I know this isn't an Ohrrpgce game, but I used to make them and Inferior Minion said I was welcome to announce this game here. This game was made by me and Orchard-L (Friend on this mb) in the Game Maker. It's a 1 vs. 1 overhead fighting game with danmaku (bullet curtain) elements.

You can see a video of the game here:

The manual is here:

And the game (and screenshots) are here:

Hope you guys enjoy!

Alphasix is a playable character from the start. Was there a mistake or something?

Oh? I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the tip. It's possible I forgot to set her back to hidden in the ini file.

You're right, and I just fixed it by uploading a new version. Thanks!

So, do you like the game?

Haven't tried it yet, but it looks cool.

You know, everyone who's used the Game Maker seems to really like it. But I couldn't stand it. Huh?

The controls are a little awkward, but the game's fantastic. Just how does Orchard find the time to do everything?

The controls can be reconfigured from the main menu. I like the WASD controls, myself.

Disabling bullet curtain also disables dodging.

I'd really like to see support for internet games :/

"Disabling bullet curtain also disables dodging"

Yikes. I need to look into that right away, thanks.

It loads up and immediately crashes out with the extremely helpful error message "An unexpected error occurred." (Windows XP SP 2)

Camdog, try going into the Alphasix.ini file and changing this line

"Set Resolution=0.99999998430675"

to this

"Set Resolution=0"

And see if that helps. This will cause the game to run in your current resolution rather than trying to set it to 640x480 resolution.

Nope, I still get the crash.

As an aside, why all the lengthy decimal numbers in the .ini file? It looks like it's filled with floating-point errors.
