Hi

This is a different game. The platform game is still being made.

In the platform game there was part of the map that you could only reach once you had found the jet pack. I thought it would be a good idea to have a secret room that was a homage to Jetpac. I went to Retro Rewind in Sheffield earlier this year and had been working to get the game finished.

I did not succeed, because i am very self critical I did not like some of the level designs I had come up with. I was showing a few people what I had come up with so far and the secret room. They liked the idea of the secret room so much that a number of people made the suggestion that it should be a game on it's own. So that's what i did.

I took the game engine from Trooper, stripped it down and made this game. A lot of the code is much improved and I was able to impliment some new ideas. Hopefully these new ideas can be reverse engineered into the platform game and make the code more efficient and I can put more grahics and levels in it.

Trooper:ODST when its finished would be version 1.0, so this jetpac game, because it was part of it, is version 0.5 or as I have called it point 5. I thought it was a bit amusing, but it's not really that funny it's more of a 'ah, I get what you mean' moment.

I read the forum and phant0m's link to the animated gif on Vinnny's post. I have pm'ed Rindex about this very fact. I was also in the process of registering on zx.pk.ru but there was one part of the form I didn't understand.

I was going to use a translation matrix to let everyone know about why I had done this game. Would they be insulted if I had? I hope not.
