Black sheep Squadron
Black Sheep Squadron is an old PC/MAC project that had been shelved because of a lack of time and motivation and unfortunately it will (probably) never be completed.
The game is a vertical shoot-them-up, tribute to all the 1942-series (Capcom) including five ‘oldschool’ worlds in the glory of the 80’s: Pacific coast, Jungle, Country/Desert, Warp Zone/twilight zone and Sci-Fi.
You play either “John Trigger” or “Susie Goodspeed“. Choosing one or the other character changes the power of the weapons and the velocity of the aircraft, the famous WWII corsair F4U.
There are still a lot of sprites and backgrounds that are not shown in the video. The footage is sometimes buggy but it gives a good idea of what the game would have looked once tweaked and polished.
Side note-developed with the PTK game engine and in-house level & spline editors especially done for the game. All the musics done by Cyril Pereira and available right here.
Up by Pixar
Top of the month July 2009: Up
Spirit of Adventure with Carl Fredricksen!
Why should you go see Up by Pete Docter and Bob Peterson, right now?
- Because of the talking dogs, the funny bird and - SQUIRREL!!
- Because of the short “Partly Cloudy”, craftsmen Pixar at its best.
- Because of the first ten minutes featuring a dialogue-free sequence of Carl and Ellie’s life. Heartbreaking :°]
Runners up :Public Enemies by Michael ‘Heat’ Mann and The Reader by Stephen Daldry.
