After almost a year we hereby officially announce our new game "Chaos 3000". You may have already seen some screenshots here...

Chaos 3000 is a vertical shooter, a Danmaku to be precise. In contrast to normal Danmakus we focused on fast paced action a high resolution graphics. The whole game is 2D and everything is handdrawn.



Enough talking. You can find images and a prerelease (Windows and Mac OS X) here. Please note that this is a prerelease. A lot of things (especially sound) is not finished. This game is NOT easy. You have to learn it to get high scores. Good luck!

Sounds cool!! I'll try it.

really great but i find it pretty hard to play. i totally like the graphics. you did an awesome job there

It works nice, looks very good and plays smoothly.

But I could not end the screen where I put in my name for hiscore. The problem could be: I filled in the whole line with letters and then I could not add any other letter and not activate the "end" button.

nice, i´ll try it too when i´m at home

Cant start it on Vista:

"Anwendung kann nicht ausgeführt werden da die Side-By-Side Konfiguration ungülig ist"

Frank: Could be, thanks for the report.

Damocles: You need one of the newer microsoft runtime libraries

Which library you mean?
I thought Vista has the most recent libraries.

It's ok. It looks good, but it's rather stiff. The animation is ok. I can see that it's not fully ready for release but you might have something on your hands here.

I also noticed that the bounding box was almost covering your whole character, In danmakus it's traditional to make the bounding box the size of the cockpit.

It's running on my Windows 7 as far as the menu goes, but when it gets to the loading screen it hangs for a bit and then crashes (no error message or anything, just closes altogether).

Would love to try it
