Welcome to Neovember, the month of NeonPlat, where I take the original NeonPlat Raw engine, and gradually upgrade it, adding new gameplay elements, features and modes.

By the end of Neovember, we'll have a lovely big Extreme version of NeonPlat, and we can all sit around and play it for days/weeks/months at a time!

In this first week, I've decided to tackle the task of bringing over the NeonPlat Adventures enemies, and popping them into the new gane.
So far I've managed the first 35 enemies, ranging from Bat to Elf, and everything inbetween..
To test them out, I've implemented a new "Wave" mode, which creates little waves of baddies, all spawned from the same place.

Can be tricky!

You can Play "NeonPlat Extreme - Test - Waves" here. It's currently HTML5/Browser, at the minute, I'm afraid. It's quicker this way!! The final release, at month's end, will group all the new stuff together, then see it properly released to all available targets.

Added
New enemies, lots of!

New spawn method.

Tweaked
Resolution upped from 640x480 to 800x600. More screenspace, but might not scale down to small devices very well. I'll be doing extra tweaks, to account for that, along the way.

Glow method has been tweaked, so the graphics look a little crisper.

Not Yet Done
I haven't added "Hats" into the mix, yet. Not sure if I will. They make things even more chaotic!!

Multiplayer. I'm quite surprised how much Multiplayer stuff I'd bothered to implement, the first time around, given that I never actually used any of it. Not sure how I'm going to account for different controls, though. Hmmm...

"Progression" .. The enemy currently spawn completely randomly. In the future I'll given each enemy certain stats, so the game spawns easier enemy first, and gets progressively harder. For now, however, that's not happening... Chaos ensues!!

Menu.. The current old "just a button" menu is all you're getting, so far. I do need to figure out a nice new menu system, and I'm sure that alone will probably use up an entire smegging week! I really do hate doing menus!!
