Hey everyone,

Just posted a blog up on the Laughing Jackal website giving a bit more info on the forthcoming 'Duæl Invaders' minis title.

It's a good-old-fashioned single-screen shooter featuring two player-controlled ships, enabling simultaneous 2-player - and frantic single-player - action, made manageable by a cool score multiplier/aggro system called the 'Skew Rate'.

Check it out. Hope to have some images to show you for the middle of next week (fingers crossed on that!)

Cheers guys - have a great weekend! :)

Oh and feel free to contribute ideas for enemy names if you don't like the ones on there (and Lord knows why you would!). :)

Byeeeeeeeee!

What the heck is "aggro"?

I have an idea for replacement names for the Horis and Verts. You could make a reference to the ability of some shoot'em-ups' home versions to switch between horizontal and vertical screen orientation by naming those two after the terms used for that: "Yoko" (horizontal orientation) and "Tate" (vertical orientation; incidentally, for those reading that as if it were the English name, that's pronounced like "tah-teh").

And for the enemies which cause collateral damage to everything around them, "Lina"; the ones who invert the colors of everything around them, "Inverse."

If "Army of Two" is anything to go by, the more you shoot, the more aggressive the enemy will be against you.
Really cool idea to use it as a multiplier, LJ (whoever is the designer for this game), great idea for risk-reward!

I guess you've never played a MMORPG (probably a good thing). Aggro is basically an enemy's tendency to go after you (vs other people, or just sitting there minding its own business).

It's really important for boss fights, as you want your tank (heavily armored guy) to hold the aggro and keep it away from the squishier people.

I guess it will work mostly the same here, rather than trying to get both your ships, they'll concentrate on one.
