Anti Eye Craft (original) Title Screen

 

The Original Idea

for Anti Eye Craft was going to be a story about a young girl who worked in a team in a HQ to fight against a villain and his army of weird space monsters. 

Anti Eye Craft's original idea changed a lot during the production and I decided that since this was to be the first game then it should be simple and that it should be arcade-styled.

It's funny really because my original idea was going to be a young girl that was five-years-old who would save the world from an attack but then I laughed and rethought it over and over until I decided to make a game that was like a classic arcade title and had no story.

Some gameplay

 

The game is simple

I chose to make Anti Eye Craft (original) simple so that people could understand how to play it within the first few seconds of playing.

The young five-year-old girl in the idea became a fifteen year old girl in the final concept and got the name "Storm Hart". The name is unimportant in this game because there is no story and all you have to do is blast the eyeball creatures (called "Eyebats") and move to avoid meteors as you wait for the purple crystal to spawn and for you to catch it!

I wanted to fit a boss battle in this game but there wasn't enough time to do so, so I decided to not put a boss in the game.

Future ideas

for the next game will be a story and a whole array of characters. In the next games I'll incorporate a boss and there'll be multiple planets that you'll have to visit and save from the Eyebats.

I plan to have Storm Hart have a sidekick and love interest too!

Final Thoughts

I think that this game was downloaded a decent amount of times and that the series can get much better. My future ideas (above) will improve the game series and the games will sell better - I hope!
