What is SEUCK?
SEUCK = Shoot 'Em Up Construction Kit

This is a utility which was made back in 1987 by Sensible Software, and it was originally published by Palace Software (As full a price product on disk+tape), Domark (As a Toolbox package which came with the 'Light Fantastic Pack' of the Commodore 64, and GBH (Gremlin Graphics) as a £4.99 budget software title back in the early 1990's. SEUCK was also released on Atari ST and Commodore AMIGA, but differed slightly to the C64. This competition is C64 only!

SEUCK allowed people be really creative and design brand new Commodore 64 game creations, without the need of programming. In order for the user to create a brand new C64 game, a series of built in editors crammed to one file. You can create your own sprites, and create actual objects as players, bullets, deaths and of course the enemies. Then later on, you could design and construct your very own in game background, with use of the characters, tiles, and map editor. You could also setup player limitations (lives, length and height of play field, collision type, etc). There is also a very simple level setup. Also there are limited attack waves patterns, where you could insert new enemies or link existing ones to build a boss, etc. The title Screen editor allows you to edit the score panel chars, and title screen chars and also place chars into the title screen editor. So that you can have your own title screen editor.

The Last Hope by Gaetano Chiummo ... Made using SEUCK.

In the leap year of 2008, the Sideways Scrolling SEUCK was built. Jon Wells managed to build a special version of SEUCK which can scroll SIDEWAYS instead of DOWNWARDS. There is only one version of the SIDEWAYS SEUCK at the moment, which is the Sideways scrolling LEFT version of the tool. A version to scroll the other direction was mentioned back in 2013, that it will go ahead, but time constraints is the major issue. You can find Jon Well's Sideways SEUCK here. Which is absolutely free to download from his site..

A Little History lesson

Between 1987 to the present year, people around different parts of the world have been creative and made SEUCK game creations. A lot of the games were too much rushed, but there were also some TOP QUALITY SEUCK titles, which had no enhancements (or did have the odd new subroutine added to it). The games appeared on different C64 magazines and fanzines on cover disks, and cover tapes.

What about the SEUCK Compo?

The SEUCK compo has been going on for many years, since the early 2000's. The first SEUCK compo was hosted by someone called AKIRA, who hosted Shmups.com, at the time. Since time was a major issue, and (should I have remembered correctly) the author lost interest in the compo. I was given kind permission to host the SEUCK compo. The SEUCK compo has been continuing, although there have been breaks in between years. The aim of the competition was originally create a new SEUCK game without enhancements, or anything in particular (apart from music). This was until 2014, onwards, where I allowed mods and minor enhancements to be added to your own SEUCK creations. Such as huge sprites, sprite/behind background priority Now come 2018, this compo is brand new, and major changes have been made. The SEUCK Compo 2016 went slightly over the beginning of 2017. That was the reason for why there was no compo in 2017, unless you can count on the Spanish SEUCK Compo 2017 run by Errazking.

Examples of compiled games are downloadable by clicking on the images below.

The aim of this year's compo is simply to create a vertical scrolling or a horizontal scrolling shoot 'em up, which should stand out from the crowd. We don't want to see rushed out games, which were made in a series of less than a day, or really rushed graphics. We want to see real stunning SEUCK games, with really smart graphics, and also games good attack wave patterns, end of level bosses, etc. The creation will be in your hands. Can your game stand out? If you think it can, then please read on.

Unlike previous SEUCK compos I run. This new SEUCK Compo has only one category, which is open to standard / sideways SEUCK users and also enhancements and SEUCK Redux code this time is DEFINITELY welcome to be entered into this year's competition. However the 2018 SEUCK compo is optionally THEMED BASED. Don't panic though, your game can be to do with anything, as long as it fits one of the two themes. These are as follows:

1. SCIENCE FICTION / FUTURISTIC

The first choice of theme chosen is Science Fiction/Futuristic. The type of game to suit this theme can be practically anything related to Sci-Fi horror, or just any futuristic space blaster (or a futuristic combat game. If you are making this sort of game, make sure the game uses a futuristic / sci-fi style background to it. Examples of sci fi style games can involve space ships, aliens, robots, scientific experiments that gone horribly wrong, etc.

Split Second by Alf Yngve is an example of Science Fiction based on the after effects of time travel. This game had you controlling two versions of Joe Rubicon, who was injured during the time wars. Two different times emerged into one, and he finds himself fighting in two different realities. This game almost won 2016 SEUCK compo, but it has been decided by the voters that THE HUNTER won the modded addition to the SEUCK Compo.

Sheer Earth Attack by Gaetano Chiummo is an example of another Sci-Fi theme, created using Sideways Scrolling SEUCK by Jon Wells but this time based in space. This game won the 2013 SEUCK compo and was rewarded new presentation and power ups. It features mean alien space ship bosses, and pretty slick game graphics. This is a little space game, deeply inspired by classic Shoot 'Em Ups, such as Nemesis (Gradius), I-O, and a few others.

Gaetano also created The Last Hope, which came as runner up for the 2014 SEUCK Compo. It is yet another futuristic space blaster, this time going vertical. The shoot 'em up looks as if it was deeply inspired by more classic games. The beginning part of the game (Where the yellow scrolling background comes on) reminds me a little of the very first level of Lazer Force, except that there is no animated fire :)

2. FANTASY / ADVENTURE

The second theme is Fantasy/Adventure. This is where your games can be based in another enchanting world. The game could involve wizards, dragons, witches, monsters, knights, maids, or anything fantasy based. Some type of games which would fit this theme would be a game, where you fly a dragon across an enchanting world, trying to destroy the spells cast by an evil wizard. Or maybe a fantasy war game, where you are a warrior, who has to battle against the enemy forces of monsters, armies or an evil prince. Your game idea, based on this theme should be up to you.

God Slayer by Jefferey Oullette is an example of fantasy. You are a brave little knight, who must battle against the demons inside an ancient castle. The game features some very nice cute cartoon style graphics, and some very good gameplay blended inside the game. I strongly recommend that you check this game out for certain ideas.

Hero Time by IndyJR is yet another good example for fantasy. Play the role of a poor peasant, who eventually becomes a hero, who tries to rescue prisoners from a deadly guards and battle against other monsters. This game has a reduced sized game area, which reminds me of the classic C64 games,such as Commando. The game is nicely presented and has a very high difficulty in game play.

C'NOTTE D'KNIGHT by Aldo Chiummo, is also an example of cartoon fantasy, where you play a brave knight, who must rescue the princess. He has to climb up castles to rescue the princess from the clutches of an evil guard. C'Notte must fight against enemy guards and also demons and dragons. This game looks as if it was inspired by Fire Trap by Domark.

Note: if you submit a game which is also NOT theme based on Sci-Fi, or Fantasy, it will still be accepted...

TITLE SCREEN DESIGNS

Not only would the compo should have games with outstanding game graphics.The compo should also have a well-designed front end, to make the game more attractive. This can be done in different ways (Depending on how you'd make a presentation).

Example 1 - Standard SEUCK Front end with presentation layout

A lot of previous compo entrants have been designing their own SEUCK game front ends by doing some excellent, but limited design to their games. Certain characters in the SEUCK char editor was used to make single chars to help form and produce logos. This is one thing I sure will be looking for in the compo. :) An example front end below is Tau Zero by Alf Yngve. This game was made way back in 1989/1992.

Example 2 - Standard SEUCK Front end with new colours

The Shoot Em Up Construction Kit has a limit on colours to select from, but it is possible to use an Action Replay cartridge and alter the colours of the raster bars. SEUCK School has a tip on how this can be made. This example shows a good title screen presentation, with new colours. The Last Hope by Gaetano Chiummo

Example 3 - New Front End (Progammed)

Also accepted in this year's compo are programmed additions added to your SEUCK Game. These may be in standard SEUCK, or SEUCK Redux. That's right! SEUCK Redux IS allowed to be used this time round! If you make a new front end for your game. Please make sure that it has a nice logo to stand out, and also additional text presentation. Hi-Score additions and other bits are also welcome. An example below is the front end I made in SEUCK Redux for Alf Yngve's Zap Fight 2.

It's Christmas Eve, and Little George is waiting for Santa Claus to bring him some new toys. He's watching his favourite super-heroes cartoon shows, and he feels so involved that he climbs on the shelf where the TV is, making it fall on the floor, where it turns into pieces. George is safe and sound (only a bit scared), but his daddy is furious: the TV is still under guarantee, but he planned to watch the Christmas concerts and some sport events: who will repair the TV during the holidays? Well, I won't (I even can't!), will you? :D

So, as a punishment, our little super-hero will not get any gift for Christmas! He goes to bed in tears, but the Toy Fairies can't stand and watch him crying, so they decide to send him to the "Dream World", where he can get any toys he wants! The problem is, the "Dream World" is full of angry toys and other dangerous things which will try to stop Super George and let him wake up with empty hands. Anyway, our hero can throw marbles against them, but some are stronger than others, and some are invincible.

There are three stages: the Garden, the Field of Grain and the Winter Playground. George must get the toys while shooting his enemies and avoiding their "bullets". He can climb trees, ropes, and so on. In each stage there are some extra features that will grant George 2.000 points: it's up to you to discover where they are and how to get the points!
Will you help Super George in his quest?

IT'S, LIKE, TOTALLY THE NEAR FUTURE...

On Patty Patovsky's 16th birthday, her parents gave her the present that all American high school kids wanted: 
Her own personal armored tank!

She spray-painted her tank pink, drove it to school the very next day -- and instantly became the most popular girl.
But the mean girls of the Forces of Darkness Sorority grew envious of Patty's new popularity...

First they started to call her "Panzer Patty." Then they tried to sabotage her tank. That's when all-out war broke out between Patty and the Forces of Darkness Sorority.  It was, like, total mayhem in the suburb... and everybody took awesome selfies.

GAMEPLAY:

1. Driving Stage

You control Patty's tank. Drive it through her neighborhood while fighting the Forces of Darkness Sorority.
The enemy attacks with remote-controlled tanks and helicopter drones.
Occasionally you will notice small drones pestering the residents. Shoot 4 small drones to gain a bonus life.
You are NOT allowed to shoot ordinary cars, so just avoid them.
When you hear a warning signal, a GREEN helicopter drone is nearby.
If you fail to shoot down green helicopter drones, you will lose lives for the Shooting Stage that follows later!

2. Shooting Stage

Using the gun crosshairs, you must shoot ALL enemy drone tanks and helicopters before they shoot you.
If you miss a single enemy, you will start losing lives very fast.
If you survive the Shooting Stage, Patty wins the day!

IMPORTANT: Don't linger! Enemy vehicles will cause damage to your tank if you don't destroy them fast enough.
If you get too much damage, your tank will slow down and you will be unable to defend yourself during the Shooting Stage.
You can abort the game by pressing RUN/STOP (=Pause) and then pressing Q.

A security system at Sentinel Security Plant was set up in order to thwart future alien attack. Unfortunately, after a recent computer OS update, the system crashed - prompting shut down to all defences. Unfortunately aliens decided to take advantage and start an invasion on CETI 21. They breached the security systems, entered the inner core and rigged the mainframe with one of their own. Now the defence systems have turned against the human race.

Your mission is to control a low level flying drone, ULTRAX 18 through 3 sectors and do battle against the aliens and rogue defence security systems. Then locate the aliens' mainframe supercomputer and destroy it. Once you have destroyed it. Peace and stability across CETI 21 will be restored.

The SEUCK Compo 2018 Prize Package

The New Dimension is very pleased to present to you the Official C64 SEUCK Compo prize package. There are 3 different formats available for you (As usual). The .D64 format is split on to two digital disk formats. Both sides has a C64 disk menu, which features all of the games from the competition, including the winner's prize version. Load the menu, press a letter and if the .D64 is on the correct disk side, your program will run - easy :)

There is also a .tap version of the compilation. For compatibility with devices such as the Ultimate 64, SDPrincess, etc, this compilation has been split into separate tap images, rather than a single .tap. Each game loads with an Official C64 SEUCK Compo 2018 loading picture and loading music. Valkyrie 3 prize version + ending uses a different loading picture,

Finally, a little bonus .D64 (Well .D82 really) for those of you who own theC64 mini. Simply copy thec64-drive8.d64 to your USB stick. Load a game from the carousel on theC64 mini. Insert the USB stick. Then exit the game. Then load BASIC and type LOAD"*",8 and then RUN. Now pick a program from the menu and enjoy.

The Official C64 Compo winner, Valkyrie 3 now features additional enhancements, such as loading picture, some exclusive loading and in game music, a new front end, high score table, single score panel and a whole lot more. Unfortunately, due to compatibility issues with all of the incredible enhancements inside the game, which Eleanor added herself. A SEUCK Redux version of this game has not been made, for compatibility issues. Still, don't let this put you off. A lot of effort was really put into this game, and with the additional front end, linked score and high score table. It feels much more like a full Commodore 64 game.

Here are a couple of screen shots from the ehanced version.
