Hello everybody,
It took a long time (more then a half year) but now again i am working on this game. This week I investigated more then 20 hours to setup a new basis line. I have found great free graphics on internet which I will use. Previous development graphics were poor quality. The graphics engine will be based on the GRRLIB 4.1.1 library. I hope that round Christmas time I can release the first beta.
21/11/2009 Version 0.10
- Started programming in C++.
- Finding free graphics for game.
- Setup basic directory structure for new project.
- Store source code in Google code SVN repository.

Hello Everybody,
After four weeks of silence, here by a short update about the game build progress. The design phase is ready, most graphics are also ready. Building the game engine is behide planning. I think it will take at least two more months to finish everything. Main delay is my work and family live. Two weeks ago I was in India for a business visit. Spin off of the visit is lots of work.
Best Regards, wplaat

Hello everbody,
This evening i created some art drawings how the game will look like. Ofcourse this is just a really high level art design. So anything can change in time.
Menu screen
In the menu screen the player can choose several option. Ofcouse there is a Help, Credits and Release Notes option. Sound Settings and User Initials settings for highscore area can be configured. The game it self can run in Easy, Medium or Hard game mode.
Map select screen
After selecting the game mode the player can selected a game map.
Gameboard screen
Gameboard contains al kind of information. Defense system can be drag-and-drop on the battle field. Defense systems can be upgraded in Power, Fire speed and Range.
I have decided to build the game in C++. An object approach for this kind of game is much better then the tradional ansi c approach. If you have any comments on the art drawings, please posted them below. Looking forward to it
