Beat Hazard is a top down twinstick shooter that plays pretty much like Geometry Wars, except it uses music on your hard drive to generate the levels. And I mean any music you might happen to have. If you don't know what Geometry Wars is, think Asteroids meats Robotron 2084. Beat Hazarad is an indie game you can get on several platforms. I've got it both for PC and Android thanks to various indie bundles, but I don't think I have the DLC that Shaggy mentioned. Don't know anything about modding it, but presumably there's instructions out there if you look.What is Beat Hazard? How would you go about downloading or incorporating your ship?
The Shadow Ops DLC is available on Steam right now and it incorporates the ship editing software so that you can mod ships directly from the game. When you want to grab a new ship you simply subscribe to it from the workshop pages. Some ships require different rank levels, which you get from completing missions.
The F-36 Hornet is now up on the Workshop pages. It's as fast and agile as I could possibly make it but it carries somewhat weak guns. The rounds are very fast so you can't really fog your shots but it seems to balance out the low damage factor of the bullets, sort of death by a thousand cuts. It takes some skill to excel with but it's not too bad.
None of the ships will be to scale with one another, because of how the editor works and the way I'm doing the art, and the missions tied to them aren't that difficult because these are more for aesthetics than any sort of major skills challenge.
Enjoy.
The art, at least in Steam version, is all .PNG files even in the base version of the game. If the same is true of the Android version then it would probably just take some enterprising individual with programming\hacking knowledge of Android to get in there and replace the art, but I don't know how to do that on Android. I thought about trying a TC for the game before Shadow Ops showed up, but in order to unzip the art files you have to have a password.Any way to get this into the Android version of the game?
Once I finish off the Kilrathi ships I'll put together a fighters pack to simplify subscribing. But if you do a search for Dralthi Mk II, or even just Dralthi, it should be the only one to pop up in the results, then you can look directly at my workshop files. I've only got like three Portal 2 files and the rest are all Beat Hazard ships.Could you put them into a collection or something? Considering there's 45 pages of 30 ships (or what passes for ships...) it's a bit of work trying to find each one...A one-stop place would make it much easier.
