New game: Blueshift! Also, GDC.

Posted by Weasel - August 7th, 2008


So I've got a new game out that you all should check out here. It's a classic style side scrolling shooter rooted in R-type, and Zero Wing type games (though every person I've talked to about it has related it to countless other Japanese scrolling shooters). It also includes RPG elements where the various ships have individual stats and each weapon has 5 levels. It's an intense, and quite challenging game.

That aside, I'm curious if any devs here are going to be attending the Game Developer's Conference in Austin, TX in September. I've never been to one of these, but it looks like there's a lot of interesting stuff going on and I'm looking forward to it. It's be cool to run into some NG regulars if any of you are going.

Anyways, enjoy Blueshift!

I thought Blue Shift was a Half-Life expansion.

Ah well, awesome game. :3

Blueshift is the Doppler effect with light. When it's moving towards you the light waves are compressed and appear red, thus Redshift, and when it's moving away the waves are spread apart and appears blue, and you get Blueshift. So, yeah, nothing to do with the Half-life game.

Glad you liked it, though.

great game well dun

ima be sexist for a second and ask. why is there only girls?!

Great game dude! The second boos looked exactly like something pulled from R-Type.
Although I've only played that a little on an emulator, but still...

Blue Shift is a half life game though..

See the first post.

I played it, and it wasn't bad.

But, I find the name rather silly because it sorta sounds like
"Bullshit" Although it isn't.

Great game!

^ you big dummyhead you.

YOur new game,Blushift is pretty sweet.I have gotten the lock-on lazer thing to level 5 and the minigun is halfway there.I just want to ask though,is there going to be a thing thing5?

I currently don't have any plans on making another TT game. Glad you like Blueshift, though.

How come you wait a week before posting your games up on NG?

I'm usually waiting for a good day to do it.

Yeah, I knew about blueshifting. :3

Just cracking a little joke, thar.

ok why no more thing thing man the story looks like its set up for thing thing 5 are you ever planning on realeasing thing thing for ds or anything i mean im not pushin you but that would be cool i would buy it

i played the game and i loved it itz awsome

That was super-fun. I loved the game, I do wish, tho, that the shield power varied with the armor, like the heavier Ships having longer-duration shields.

Will there be a thing thing 5???

I think this was by far the best side scroller i've ever played.

Dude, Blueshit hangs up at the last boss, this is completely horrible =/

Meh..i didn't like it that much but it was pretty cool, not my kinda game really.
Are you working on a new Thing-Thing???I love the thing-thing games =(

besides the huge fire barrage(they fire all foward but never at you unless if you face them) from the enemies the game is great

Blue shift is so fun. I beat tyhe whole game on easy mode lol.

But what about thing-thing day?!?!?!?!
