    thank you for all comments!

    @creativeapps I use Flash to draw and animate sprites, 3D studio Max for the logo, and photoshop to crop, adjust colors and sizes. Quicktime to record video and publish on youtube. Grab (mac OS) to make WIP screenshots.

    Uploading the final game, hopefully no more bugs. I am not sure whether I record video on comp or the iPad. Will try both.

    Yup me too. I hope my electricity doesn't go off now, which is a norm in India.

    Lucky you. In my previous home it used to go every week while current house it goes less but unexpectedly, even on Sunday. Any how the video recording from computer is uploading now. It's still downloading on iPad.

    UFO PATROL: WINTERLAND EXTENSION

    This is the extension of the current game I am making. Only the UFO, cage and the monkey alien graphics is from the first game. Rest have been re textured and rendered or created for this extension.

    The backgrounds have been recreated and rendered with snow. All the other graphics done in 3D, Flash and Photoshop.

    This is not just a game but my struggle for a decade. I have been trying to make games for over 10 years, got stuck simply because I have no programming knowledge and specifically because people in India do not consider gaming as a career.

    While making this game, everyday I have to listen to people around me. They say you cannot make money or earn a living by making games, and after listening to their taunts, I still keep on working because games are the reason I become a designer. This is my passion and this is what I want to do.

    I am creating not just one game but a series of game through this story. There is UFO Patrol: Invasion, than this Winterland extension.

    The plot will be around the Alien UFO, the monkey Zulu and the Humans who are being attacked.

    I have also created a tracing app based on UFO Patrol Design, where you can trace any name, drawings and draw free with a sketchbook.

    I will soon upload their screenshots. I am preparing a crowd funding campaign for the complete series, so waiting for that.

    The next games will be of different genres, including isometric and top view, following the story plot.

    Here is the video, the sound doesn't sync well on my computer, no idea why. It works well on ipad.



    The video graphics are much brighter, I have compressed it to mp4 for web uploading, so they looking a bit dull.

    My personal deadline was 6 PM today India time and its 5.30 PM now.

    GS is the only game engine which worked perfectly for me, because of all the help this community provides and even tutorials from GShelper.com. Thanks to everyone who helped me out.

    Let me see if I get time to upload the video of ipad as well.

    @wickedsunny Looks good... :) Is this inspired from Project Boom?

    I was creating a scroller like jet pack. It worked fine on the computer, but lagged tremendously on iPad. I realised late by searching on forums, that's rolling background doesn't work well on gs and spawning destroying creates lags.

    So created this with a different theme and concept. Its inspired from project boom but trying to take it to the next level. I will try to add even more different kind of obstacles.

    Still haven't used tables yet, so loading is there for few seconds. Hopefully by next games, loading will vanish.

    Hi friends!
    I have made an ad hoc and I played it. After the play test I noticed the game needs more balance and an extra challenge, The Big snowball! His power is devasting but easy to avoid just tap it.
    Game features:
    -endless tower defense game
    -buy itens (5 this time)
    -procedural background (the snow bumps are never the same pattern)
    -progressive difficulty
    -animated characters
    -3D splash screen
    -in game tutorial
    -animated buttons
    -animated level transition
    -highscore
    -gamecenter
    -challenge gameplay
    -bug free
    -winter wonderland themed

    Worth the play!
