Asterz: Slasher’s homebrew game in the making

Homebrew developer Slasher is making a new game made for everyone and – in a sense – by everyone. The game, temporarily called Asterz, is currently in its most basic stage and Slasher is asking for input from the community to make the game.

Right now the build isn’t actually a game just yet and only contains a controllable spaceship set on a starry background. Here’s Slasher’s description of the game-to-be:

This game is going to be called Asterz. Simple, right? It’s pretty basic right now. Use the analog to steer and move, yadda, yadda. Now here’s the catch. This game is going to be constantly updated and made the way YOU want it to be.

Tell me things to add. Weapons, powerups, enemies, anything. Tell me if you want physics tweaked, anything at all tweaked. I’ll make the options completely able to tweak nearly every aspect of the game so you can get the settings YOU like – then tell me them

This game is going to be molded and shaped the way you want it to. This is a community project and I hope people actually choose to contribute.

The general look is reminiscent of the classic arcade game Asteroids but without the asteroids. The game doesn’t necessarily have to end up like Asteroids though, and as Slasher explains in the forums: “It’s not to late to change the entire basis of the game. Right now it’s not a game, it’s more of a base. Now it just needs building blocks!”
