Hey guys, Me and my friends are finishing a game which will be released on Xbox Live Indie Games next month. It is called T.E.C. 3001 (Tesla Energy Collector) and it is third person, 3D action arcade game. You are guiding a robot through virtual space to collect energy for human kind. It will have 20 levels with many different obstacles. It’s easy to learn but hard to master, especially on latter levels where robot runs with great speed. Check out our gameplay video from the unfinished version and we will soon update topic with new videos. We need support and feedback so we can make it better so if you like it tell us something about it

Looks nice. Compared to the first vid it looks like the torso movement of the robot thing has been toned down? Looks better before to me, he looks too stilted when running in the later vid, not enough upper body movement to reflect the leg movements.

that looks awesome.
make it for psn pls :DPosted 1 year ago # -
That looks great. I've got 510 MS points spare and I've been wanting to spend them on something although I imagine for an indie game it would only be 50-150 MS points. It amazes me how all of that was made in C#. I think that your game would be brilliant with multiplayer.

How do you stop it from becoming completely trial and error when you get to the higher speeds?

Looks really good, you guys should be proud of yourselves.
Have you guys considered an iOS/Android port? We need better games like this on our mobile devices.Posted 1 year ago # -
This looks pretty interesting.
Any plans to release on any other platforms? I'm looking to scale back on xbox.

Looks really fun.
The only suggestion i can think of is to improve the standard running animation, maybe make the robot lean forward a bit more and keep the arms in a bit.
how much is it going to cost?edit: also, i'm not sure if it's a design choice or not, but i think the run>slide animation seems a bit long.

Like minxamo, my main criticism would be the running animation. Seems a little stiff. Other than that, very well done lads.
Posted 1 year ago # -
running animation looks a little jerky but apart from that it looks fine, nice little option with themes, classy touch. :-)

Looks really good to me, could be alot of fun. How much will it be?
The running animation doesn't really matter to me it makes no difference to the actual game-play.Posted 1 year ago # -
Liking the look of it. :)
I'd agree that the animation for the running looks a bit odd but the rest of the animation is pretty slick imo. Bring in the arms, make him lean forward and pump those hands :)

Thx to all for suggestions,
Running animation is currently biggest problem so it is being corrected as we speak. We are all amateurs in art and game design, so we learn animation and generally drawing ourselves.
We don't know what the price will be. If it is going on indie games it will be somewhere about 3-4 dollars. We wanted to be just 1$ so anyone would want to buy it, but that might not be such a good idea because it will degrade the game.
It will be on Windows Phone 7 too in a few months because its developed in XNA Game Studio. In future, plans are to spread the games on multiple platforms.
Multiplayer is planned for second sequel, if this one goes well.
On latter levels it is based on trials and errors, because the speed is very high. But, levels are 1 minute long if you don't make any mistakesPosted 1 year ago # -
looks really good
original gameplay design.
reminds me of sonic adventure but playing much better.
and also reminds me of Rez but not rhythm basedPosted 1 year ago # -

Hi again.
Here is new video showing statistics screen at the end of the level. There is ranking system
based on collected batteries, time and broken objects.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyBnZxlGAdY
If you have a spare time, and you are willing to help us,
and participate in our project, you can suggest to us your idea for 5 rank names.
Here is our list of top 5 starting from the lowest:1. Noob can
2. Running toster
3. Steam locomotive
4. Mr. speedy
5. Lamborghini robotPost your ideas here on forum or on youtube. Thx everybody for help.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I would ditch all of those except maybe the Locomotive one.
maybe:
1) Trash Can
2) Vacuum Cleaner
3) Steam Locomotive (maybe you could use Steam Train, sounds better maybe?)
4) Usain Bolt :p
5) Super Sonic Speed BotPosted 1 year ago # -
Wow...I hate to be the bad guy...
1. Static Background...Boring..Maybe Metors Falling on City In Back-Ground, City Blowing Up in Back-Ground..Maybe City crumbling.
2. Repetitive Game-play...Boring..Just Running?? No Hover Mode?? No Jet Boots?? No Enemy Robots trying to Stop me from gathering Batteries??
3. Highway is Dull and Boring...Needs different type of Terrain..Lava Like, Ice Like, Maybe even Crumbling Highway to give Since of Urgency? Maybe even the Building Blocks you Pass, Crumbling??
4. Robot Boring and Never Changing...Maybe if you do something wrong you have damage reflected on Robot..Maybe a Piece of Arm Plating Falls away?? Robot needs different types of Robot Modes? Since your Theme is Lined Neon..Maybe power ups, Like Angel Wings in Lined Neon for a Limited Time? Robot Power-ups!
Ok Now to finish on a Positive note! There is a TON of CRAP CRAP CRAP on XBLI..this is not one of them..This game looks good!

@frostquake
We are zero budget team so I thing that this is not so bad for 3 months project, which was planned at first for windows phone. But I appreciate your suggestions, all those things would make game a better one. We are planning lots of stuff in next sequel if this goes well.Posted 1 year ago # -
"Rapid Robot" just came into my mind.
