Our first project is a simple space shooter, GunJet, a 3D space shoot-em-up set in a hyperspace tunnel. The player is a mech robot with a jetpack, shooting at various enemies. The player also has close-up melee special attacks, and the ability to 'boost' at speed along the tunnel. The player's movement is restricted to right and left, whilst constantly moving along the tunnel. Aiming is done via the mouse cursor. We're aiming to complete the 'first playable' by June.
We'll meet at the Auckland University Quad at 10am, and then move up to the computer labs (so try to be there on time).
