I think this game has a lot of potential. I think that, from what you have told us, the logistics are down. I'd say go ahead with it. A few pointers though: Make sure you use high-quality audio. This includes sounds and vocals. Nothing detracts from the gameplay of an audio game quicker than crappy or poorly produced audio. Depending on what you require and the quantity of those requirements, sounds can get fairly expensive but like I said it all depends on what you're looking for and what you need. Once you've finished coding, get a good beta team. Test, test, test, test! Try to find as many bugs as you can before you release. Even though you might not be able to find every single bug, users will respect you if they know you took the time to continuously test for problems rather than just compile and hope for the best.

Re: [Audyssey] side scrolling robot game concept clarification... what are your thoughts
Hi Kevin and Ben, I would quite agree with the below post. As for the audio, I would say you can get quite high quality audio from sounddogs.com. The reason I mostly use them is because they have a little known discount you can get. Also if you only add sounds that you found by searching for your keywords here _sdc you get a much higher discount. The way you get this discount is by having 10 or more items in your cart, then email them or call them to ask for a discount on a custome virtual cd or something like that. It may take a few tries to get them to understand you're not trying to get custome produced sounds, but once you do they'll charge your card or send you a paypal invoice and you'll get your discount. Also I've noticed that the more amount of sounds/the higher the price of your total cart, the bigger the discount.

I think this game has a lot of potential. I think that, from what you have told us, the logistics are down. I'd say go ahead with it. A few pointers though: Make sure you use high-quality audio. This includes sounds and vocals. Nothing detracts from the gameplay of an audio game quicker than crappy or poorly produced audio. Depending on what you require and the quantity of those requirements, sounds can get fairly expensive but like I said it all depends on what you're looking for and what you need. Once you've finished coding, get a good beta team. Test, test, test, test! Try to find as many bugs as you can before you release. Even though you might not be able to find every single bug, users will respect you if they know you took the time to continuously test for problems rather than just compile and hope for the best.

The health system is what will be the most confusing probably, to most people. You have 5 power cells, which reduce in halves - this is your health. It will reduce obviously if you take damage. You can have as many powe cells as you want collected on your way, but you can only plug a max of 4 in - because you can't lose all your power cells unless you get hit through all 5. Take the scenario. You have half a cell left, you plug 4 in, you press the I key (if you guys ever get to play it you'll see why that key is used), you'll have 4 and a half. And you can't have half power cells. You'll have your fists, left/right, guns (2 of those) and your cannons (which need to be recharged after a number of shots), and your guns aren't limitless either - they must be reloaded.
