Producing a game like DOMEDRIVER takes a lot of time and resources. I would like to mention the people who spent their time for DOMEDRIVER.

Programming, 2d/3D art and concept

All these tasks have been done by myself. Using Blitz3D and the SCOUTBOT II game engine it was not to hard to create the game.

Music

The music for DOMEDRIVER was exclusively composed by Tax-5. Meanwhile Tax-5 is my favourite composer when listening to chiptunes today. You can listen to some of his wonderful chiptunes on his website ... and by the way, he likes nintendo games :-)

CutScenes

All the CutScenes during gameplay have been scripted with CutScene Library. This library is easy to use for Blitzdevelopers.

AI

Thanks to Patrick Lester and his A* Pathfinder library. His library solved most problems. The AI behaviour has been developed using a finite state machine (FSM) programmed by myself.

TESTING

I would like to thank to Andi for some testing and providing english translations. Altough he had a lot of ideas how to improve the game, not everything could be implemented at the end.

Modding the game

It is possible to mod the game and add additional levels. For that you just need to modify some ini files within the game directory. Currently an editor is in work and can be used to add new levels quickly.

Here is a short tutorial describing how to add a new level manualy.

Open the main.ini in the folder "data" and look for the section [Levels]. To add a new level just add new keys like those lines below.

[Levels]
level6_mapname=my own level
level6_description=My own level|-------------------|Have fun ...

To add more levels you would call the next lines level7_mapname, level7_description ... it's important to keep the correct labeling. After adding these keys the new level will appear in the menu. It does not matter if the files exists as long as you don't press start, nothing happens :-)

An easier way to mod the game is using the editor. Note; the editor is still in development and has lot's of bugs. It may even destroy your game. So be sure to make a backup of your game before.
