Black Shades was one of the winners of the UDevGame 2002 contest, out of about 40 contestants. I aimed for a much simpler graphical style than in GLFighters and Lugaru in order to complete the game within the deadline. In Black Shades you control a psychic bodyguard, and try to protect the VIP (dressed in white) from a horde of zombies, snipers and other assorted would-be assassins.

Here are some key features of "Black Shades":
Infinite randomly generated city
Rag-doll skeletal animation
Soul release mode
Fluid aiming system
Stop assassins by shooting them, knocking them unconscious, disarming them, tackling the VIP out of the line of fire, or any combination of the above.

What's New:
11-1 fixed "quick keys" issue when pressing a key such as b (to turn on infinite slow-mo) would turn off when the key was let off, thus requiring the player to hold that key down for infinite slow-mo.
11-1 spaced out text in developer mode, and made cursor on main menu brighter being easier to see.
10-29 cleaned up bits and pieces, clearly resulting in performance gains... especially on older machines.
