Beta Release of Starship Raider


I have been working on this game for about six months now.  I have placed the player in the ship of the old style space shooter games. The enemies have an A.I. that controls their ability to dodge incoming lasers and determine the player's position and if to fire. If the A.I. level is set low the ship swoops and fires more randomly rather than intentionally. The game is designed with a few factors that are controlled by the player in the way of purchasing larger capacities for on board systems and by purchasing larger weapons. Coins and pods are collected during game-play and then used to make purchases. Each system will effect the overall function of the ship such as a cooling system to cool down laser cannons that increase in heat by the type of weapon, how much power it is producing, and how many cannons are firing. There is a flight control system, and an energy system that allows the storage of any energy collected from destroyed enemy ships. Also, there is a targeting system that keeps the lasers firing straight ahead.

When the player's shields are gone, all of the systems are vulnerable to damage and will require repair to function properly. Each system that is damaged will have an adverse effect on the performance of the player's ship.

At the end of the battle a large drone field surrounds the player and creates a maze out of force fields that the player has to make his/her way out of without touching any walls and avoiding any obstacles along the way.
