Jorptec II and Others

I'm building up steam to install VC++ on Windows and try to use it for compiling the Jorptec II Windows build. In the meantime, I'm roughing out some ideas for Kernel Of Darkness, which is just another name for The Horror, but instead of what it was going to be, it's going to be another Modernization of Heart of Darkness. You play ace steamship/task manager captain M.A.R.L.O.W., who must journey deep into Vista in order to rescue/kill the rogue process KURTZ.EXE. It's a bullet hell shmup in reverse.



Oops! It looks like I need to work on my sprite system a little. Those bullets are a bit off.

Game: The Horror

The Horror is a creative re-imagining of Joseph Conrad's classic novel Heart of Darkness. Pilot your steamship down the Congo river to stop the evil Kurtz. Along the way, collect rivets, ivory, and good natives to repair your ship while using your Heart of Darkness to defend yourself from evil natives. Be careful, though. Use the Heart of Darkness too much and you'll become consumed by corruption and turn into another part of Kurtz's evil plan.

The game features procedurally generated landscapes and fancy VeCtOr GrApHiCs.
