As you can see from the clip, I have done a bit more and I think this may well turn into a game. Currently thinking of it as a 4 local player game death match type thing.

Don't worry, I will get back to some 3D stuff soon :)

Turn down the shadow alpha a bit, it's hard to see where your actual ship really is.

It's actually not that bad when played, I have it at aboit .5 at the moment, but will drop it further for future clips :)

I can imagine complaints now about the problem with the Z axis. Top-down shooters should not have them IMO.

LOL! Well I guess I will blame Microsoft for giving us the Layer parameter in the SpriteBatch.Draw call..

Well, I think it adds (I guess literally) another dimension to the top down shooter. Hope I can pull it of so that it is not a pain but a pleasure to have in there. I guess if it sux I can pull it out.

Why don't you like the Z axis in a top down shooter?
