Screenshot Saturday - Fresh as Fish

GangFight is a side-scrolling shooter game that I started to make a few days ago. It will be like old school arcade games. Also, I'm planing to add melee combat.

I will report weekly the development process and share images, videos, experiences. All these will be under the title of Screenshot Saturday. This week I will be presenting the images for characters and backgrounds. Of course, they're placeholder and as you can guess I draw them all by myself. It is better to use these kind of place holder images rather then one-color squares or circles. It's all about motivation I think.

Let's see the first drawings for the game.

The main character. The coolest bad-ass gang member ever. And he never gives up smoking even in a fight.

A member of Gang-H. Obviously, this gang have some fashion problems. And they're one of our enemies.

 The only road that you can see Ceasers Palace, El Capitan and Palms Casino side by side. This is also first scene of the game.

I'm making this game by using Java and Slick. And on the programming side, so far I made the followings:

• Movement of player
• Shooting towards the direction between player and mouse.
• Basic enemy spawner
• Main menu

So many things about the game is uncertain. There are a lot of things that I haven't started to think about. In this time, I want to be spontaneous and unorganized. For that reason, the game may be changed entirely in future.

[UPDATE] Now code for this project is on my Github. Fork me!
