Atoms, Framework and AstroLiger

While muffing about in #tigIRC as usual, I was insulting someone and misspelt astrologer as astroliger, this tickled me as i love Ligers and we started to riff on the inter-species thing that ended with me finding out there are such things as Tigons.

Well, something turned on the idea light bulb and a name came to me, “AstroLiger versus the Space Tigons from Mars” - such an awesome name deserves a game, and so I have to make it.

This gives me two active projects, and one on the backburner for now, my codebase is still a little messy, so i’m re-writing it all again to accomodate a range of genres, to make it more generic.

This means that Atoms will be another 2-3 weeks, which is ok really, because at that point, i’m hoping to have some music made for the game by one of the guys in #tigIRC - this is a good thing, it saves you from programmer music.

AstroLiger versus the Space Tigons from Mars is going to be a shmup where you control AstroLiger, in his efforts to iradicate the universe of the scourge of the evil Tigons from Mars, you’ll be land-locked, scaling the hilly terrain with the ability to jump and fire the laser cannons he has mounted on his saddle, the closest i can think of is a mix of Saint Dragon and Revenge of the Mutant Camels

Thoughts welcomed.
