THIS LOVELY DOG, too much detail.

I just love to create new characters. And Snoopy. Imagine how happy I was when drawing this one!

But sometimes I can't stop adding details even if I know it's wrong. As said before, I recently realized (LINK) how important it is for a game to keep things simple and readable. So, sadly, the following version of this character doesn't exist anymore, I replaced it later with a new and simpler one and it works way better once in game.

On a side note, I hope to show more on this title later, but I can't promise anything for now, this is not a tease or something. I was just sincerely afraid to lose it in my PC mess / randomachineblackhole, so I'm glad to post it here so I know it's somewhere.

MISC SMALL PROJECTS -1- BULLETS!

O.M.G (Our Manic Game / published by Microsoft) has a terrible name, yes.
It runs on Windows Phone, yes. I know what you're thinking right now...BUT the few people who actually bought it 2 years ago seemed quite happy with it. Made by two people (me and Dimitri) on a tight schedule (it was an exclusive launch title for 2010), this infinite manic shooter plays a bit like Titanion from master Kenta Cho: you have to touch the enemies with your finger to make them go red and berserk. Then their shots are multiplied, and so are the points for the crushed enemies. You take risks and (hopefully) you get rewarded.

The gameplay mechanic is very simple, but it was fun to make a small shmup that quickly for a new and mysterious (at that time) hardware.

To speed up the production, I made the musics too. Ingame soundtrack was generic soft techno, but now that I'm hearing it again, I'm a bit shocked by how sad the Title Screen theme is... I remember how obsessed I was with the Konami logo boot sequence in MGS on PSX, maybe this explains a bit.
