Auralquiz v0.5 and new beat ’em up game, Enwith

Overdue update!

Since last time, the music questions game, Auralquiz has seen a lot of improvements.

Current version on Qt-apps.org is 0.4, already nicely playable and complete.

The current version on Gitorious, which will become v0.5, adds some new graphics, the possibility of multiplayer games (in progress), custom colors (this will be optional, the ones in the screenshot are temporary), and fixes for the Phonon Gstreamer backend. Currently, Auralquiz works best with Phonon xine backend, works about right with Gstreamer, and doesn’t work with VLC backend. I need to look into this, but unfortunately every Phonon backend works a little differently.

As for the other project, it’s a new game, codenamed “Enwith“.

It’s basically a fighting game, in the style of classical Beat ‘Em Up‘s like Streets of Rage or Final Fight, but with lots of simultaneous enemies and very small levels to fight in.

Mandatory screenshot (the character’s sprite is temporary, until I can have my own):

This game is still very young, and I don’t have my own sprites yet, that’s why it’s not currently in Qt-apps.org.

Right now you can walk around with the caracter, with walking animation, you can jump (end key) and punch (del key), and add lots of enemies. You can’t hit them yet, and their movement is just temporary.
