Developer's note:

Bolt Thrower is currently single player Space Shoot 'Em Up. It’s still work in progress & hopefully a new version will be release once every 2 to 4 weeks. Every effort is being made to detach game data from the code, being 'data driven' anyone can change the look or functionality of the game. Basically a XML configuration file is used rather than hard coded data that’s locked into the code - that would just be plain silly. Please submit your ideas, bug reports or anything else via the discussion page if you wish to help in some way.

Things that will happen:

• Lots of configurable choices on how to control the game
• Mixture of 3D and 2D - the 3D mainly for backdrops (even I can model a rock in space!)
• Lots of bad moving stuff on screen to shoot
• Weapon selection
• Vast levels
• Particles from big booms and propulsion trails, and other stuff like that.
• Level Editor
• Expose any remaining data to XML
• Limit the number of weapons dispersed at one time (people are going crazy with mines) - slowdown fix
• Transparent heads-up display (HUD) - things like score, remaining foe, radar & weapon status
• Camera view stuff (Maybe) – zooms out in relation to the ships speed, and say allow the camera to follow your missiles for a bit, could hold down a button to keep tracking?
• Drop decoy probe
• Drop attack drones
• Drop capture drones
• Sphere of tiny remote shield generators around ship - if one is taken out the others reform to take up the slack at reduced efficiency.
• Manual & auto lock-on target weapons
• Pickups - shield, weapon, bonus points...
