Alien Breed clone: new playable demo for 'Chaos Guns'
Chaos Guns started life as a mashup of 'Alien Breed' - running and gunning from a top-down view - and 'Hired Guns' - four indepently playable characters. A first tech demo, written in the rather exotic programming language 'PowerD', was released in 2014. After loosing the only coder and realizing that engine as originally envisioned would be too taxing for the Amiga, the team created several prototypes including one created with Backbone that was released to the public in 2016.
Shortly afterwards Jozef Tomka joined the team as a coder, to write an engine for this reduced version of the game - 32 instead of 256 colors, only one playable character - in Assembler. But according to members of the team, everybody was involved in too many projects, so work on Chaos Guns came to a halt for years. But now Tomka has published a new early alpha version of the game:
"Chaos Guns 8.69 (2023)" ist playable (video), even if the enemies aren't really fighting back yet. To be able to shoot, you first have to select a weapon using the "1" to "7" keys.
