Dalton has escaped with Belthasar's plans
for the flying time machine, the Epoch!

Now he's gone to the future and returned with
an army of flying time machines, each built
with one evil robotic pilot.

Take out the evil robot flying time machines
before they take YOU out and destroy the
world in a paradox of the ages!

Destroy Golden Neo-Epochs for
powered-up lazer cannons!

Click here to download Epoch Battle (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KPAYL4Z8), my simple but addictive Galaga-style shooter that was basically a step-by-step assignment that I had to follow. It had to be a scrolling shooter, it had to have a high score at the end. I set the speeds and the graphics and specifics and sounds and whatnot. I won't claim credit for the code, but I did put the epoch stuff in there so it's at least related to the Chronoverse. TheMage beta tested for me.

Anyway, it's fun to play, and we're at a lack of Chrono inspired games that are finished. This is finished. Have fun.

Oh man, Bekkler, you've gotta capture some video of this and put it up on your Youtube. Can't wait to give it a spin.

I think I fixed it. Should have a link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwCMQ20G0rE) in the first post once youtube spits one out for me.

Are you going to college at Digipen, by the way? If so, I personally know one of your professors there. One of the regulars at the Ultra Publications forums is a confirmed long time Digipen Professor, although we actually knew him long before that. My, what a small world it would be if that was where you were going.

Good work.

And yes, you can now embed Youtube videos on the forum with the new youtube BBCode tag I've added. Just put the video's ID hash between the youtube tags.

Oh man that's just plain awesome, Ramsus! Thanks man! And I also see that you made it into a news post! That was not necessary, but most appreciated!  :D

No, I go to ecpi, but I have no doubt it's the exact same kind of school. Super short "term" instead of semesters, no breaks. Almost everybody is there for a degree in computers or the school next door for becoming a nurse, which my sister attends.
