2D Sideview & Overhead Scrolling Space Shooter

Evolutionary Prototype (EP) will be a pure arcade action video game.

You will not have to read a 40-page manual to learn how to fly your prototype aircraft.
Pure skill, joystick dexterity, and fast reaction time will determine your success.

Alien force attacks Earth.
Earth defends and eliminates current threat in local galaxy.
Earth eliminates future threat by attacking Aliens’ home planet.

An alien race attacks Earth for an unknown reason. Regardless of the reason, Earth must defend and remove the threat of additional attacks. Battles with the alien forces will take place in several locations in our galaxy: on Earth, in space, on the Moon, on Mars, in the asteroid field, and finally on one of Jupiter’s moons. Several of these areas contain strongholds that you must destroy. After cleansing our solar system of the alien threat, the human race discovers the location of the alien’s home world. A decision is made to completely eliminate any future threats of invasion.

The war is in an age where Earth is technologically advancing faster than it has ever before. You are a hot shot pilot, and are part of a chosen few to fly new specially designed fighter prototypes. Using a prototype nuclear fusion reactor, as opposed to the conventional fission reactor, these fighters have the capability to store enormous amounts of energy - and the capability to release it quickly, under control, preventing the ship from becoming an atomic bomb. This allows for high powered weapons normally only found in larger craft, and the ability to travel far distances without refueling. As the war goes on, the prototype of your craft remains under continual improvement. The missions requesting these prototypes become of greater and greater significance. The small size of the craft allows deep penetration into enemy forces, avoiding radar detection and targeting.

At some point near the end of the local battles, the human race develops superluminal loophole technology, which allows for FTL (faster than light) space travel. Earth, in a race to beat the enemies’ communication signals back to their home planet, plans on giving the alien race a piece of it’s own medicine - a totally unexpected surprise attack on their planet, before they are even aware that their space fleet is losing the war.

The final battles take place outside of our galaxy: in hyperspace, in space entering enemy territory, and in several places on the alien’s home planet for the toughest challenge, yet.

16 Missions (Levels) each with their own objective (defeating an enemy stronghold).
The objective will be the level's final boss. Most levels also contain a mid boss.

16-bit ~44KHz samples

You can get some here: 700 megs of 16-bit Fast Tracker XIs

Song must loop (undetermined time length)

NO unauthorized ripped samples, we can't sell other people's work

Put your e-mail address/contact info in the song, not a separate file

Stereo samples / stereo effects a plus

No drum loops preferred (not a restriction, just don’t steal beats)

Unlimited channels, we want professional sound; but be smart with it

Song should sound professional

A ‘tracker’ shouldn’t be able to tell that it's ‘tracked’

(Did you know Unreal was tracked in IT when you first heard it?)

Test it on those crappy PC speakers everyone has.

Don’t get us wrong; the song should rock on a full-range stereo.

Realize that some of these are old, but relatively speaking they kick ass.
