Hi guys! I am Sergey from ZXBITLES. Recently I've got an invitation from "ZX Dev" in Twitter to this compo (I hope he will read this). So, please step aside and let me take a place in this great dev-company!  Heh, I paused the current game, while waiting our musician, and start a new one. This game is remake for a famous "Centipede" from Atari. It been already ported to ZX, but I do believe, that we can bring something new. Here is the loading screen. (I cannot insert picture here.) This is my first attempt to make something complex. Any critic and ideas are welcome, because I have a feeling, that I am missing something... I gonna inform you about the progress, so if you are interesting in this game (and/or the others) then please follow us on YouTube.

Welcome to the ZX Dev, Sergey! Wow, interesting concept! Looking forward to seeing what comes out of this! Your previous games are quite interesting in their mechanics and take the compiled BASIC to a high level  Here is your loading screen:

I wrote two articles. The first one in English, and the second one in Russian (very famous resource, something like Reddit in Russia). Probably this will attract developers, sponsors or/and additional attention to the compo.

Oh, wow, so things keep moving forward! Nice to see the old centipede... turned into a dragon! By the way, the best way to include attachments is on the right top corner, in the button which says "Add attachment", instead of attaching pictures

Hopefully the Mech will have infinite ammo to use!  Good progress in there  For sure! The ammo will be infinitive. Please remember, that this is only a raw version. I am gonna implement a lot of features. Some of them will be discovered here before the contests, but the rest I'll keep only for judges.

I see that the action is going to be much more complex than in the original version  also seems that things are progressing quite fast!

I see that the action is going to be much more complex than in the original version  also seems that things are progressing quite fast! I promised to do my best.  Next week I will spent for optimizing the code to make it faster. I am pretty fine with current performance, but optimizations will allow to bring more features. Stay tuned!
