Viceroy Studios

This page will display our current and upcoming games or other projects. The content will be covered much more extensively in the forums, so the projects outlined here will only be breifly summarized.

Viceroy Studios is proud to announce our first project (game): Altawings.

Game Type: Altawings will be a vertical scrolling shooter (reminiscent of the Raiden series) Where a ship is piloted through a series of levels. There will be plot cutscenes as well.

Graphics: Altawings will have high-quality pixellated animations and graphics. It will be entirely 2D, but the sharp presentation and appealing format will make it unique.

Game Engine: Altawings will be created in, and run on, the Gamemaker 7 engine. Gamemaker is an excellent engine for beginner work, and we want to have it work at full capacity. The gamemaker system and interface is simple, so programming is easy. Still there will be a decent amount of tricky programing involved, as some of the features we hope to include in Altawings include different selectable characters, unlockable bonuses, boss characters, and many others. However, Gamemaker is a wonderful starting point in the game-making community (as the name implies - duh) and hopefully some support from the gamemaker community will be generated as a result.

Other Features: Altawings will have its own soundtrack, over 10 levels, Secrets, and more!

*A special note: 2 things, actually: 1 being that i beleive the game title Altawings is taken, and though that can be worked around, we want all our game names to be unique, so the name may very well change at some point. However, this has yet to be confirmed. 2nd: Bear with me, pics are en route and should be posted in the next couple days. We actually aren't going to post more than a few sprites, but at least the website will no longer be entirely text when that happens. Word.*
