Topic: Anyone up to making a game?

@Funky Gamer: Flash? They're using Delphi aren't they?

BTW, been following the thread for a while now. Great stuff! Hope you guys make something great.

EDIT: Too many pages to read, but did you guys come up with a concept for the game yet?

I'm working on The Glichies

it needs more Glichies

NVM XD

Flash? No no no...

Now that the story is practically settled, we should probably start working on gameplay. What type of game will it be? Metroid style exploration, Mario style basic platforming, "Company of Myself" type puzzle platformer, or Super Meat Boy style bat s*** crazy hard, fast paced action platformer?

@Everyone who was replied about the flash Q of mine... I was just asking if its possible to make something similar to Cave Story with Flash. In terms of GamePlay, and the Length of the game. I was just asking out of curiosity as I am gaining interest in programming. I know that we're using Delphi and stuff, just had a Question....

@Mr. Video Yes I am the Zero.

Mario Style Platformer with lite puzzles, cave areas are more exploration type (very lite as well) but not all. There's a Arcade area with mini games and a bulletin board with challenges posted by other animal friends and a Arena-Dome where you can fight all the bosses again or Boss Rush. Basically you beat their high scores, do challenges and some are Super Player stages that are incredibly difficult to beat.

Sounds good there, Kaiser. Just went over each page of the thread, great job so far!

I'm still wondering if you guys are alright with what you have or if it's okay to lend a hand with anything.
I'm no programmer yet _{in a process of teaching myself}, but I am an established writer of sorts, so I could help you with your story, if necessary.

@briunji04 I've already made a cave/ice level VGM, and I'll probably make a few more.

I'd work on the cave/ice vgm some more first.

I'm gonna break out Rymtic and see if I can cook anything up too. Probably not, but I've nothing better to do atm xD

I made this a while ago. It's made mostly out of editted pre-built samples and nowhere near finished. I didn't really know where to go with it after where it ends, so xD

I'm trying to build a track from scratch now without using any samples, which is... really hard. And slow work.

@Raylax I made a new improved version. Kaiser said it's great he'll probably use it. BTW that Rythmik track is great.

I'm planning on doing some sketching over the weekend. No promises, but if it turns out well, I'll post a few pics.

Also, I've been thinking about NL references and am wondering how flexible the latter parts of the storyline are. For instance, we could add a certain villainous chicken who always gets the short end of the stick!

Another idea would be to have doors every so often which require you to beat a mini-game in order to progress. Ultimately, you would only be required to play 2-3 levels of each type of game, but you could go to the arcade to play more.

Also, when traversing through the facility in-between spheres, employees could flee from their desks in terror, leaving everything they were doing open. Some computers would reveal metroid-esq scan data, others could give insight into the company's mysterious past-current leader, while still others (people gaming instead at working ) would unlock additional levels to the mini-games in the arcade. Finally, you could find the surveillance room and turn off the cameras for the sphere you just beat (making revisiting areas easier).

@All I thought of a few things to try sketching, but before I do I want to know: Are we going for a cutesy mario game look, or a blend of different styles? I've been leaning towards a cave story-ish happy medium, one that isn't so cute that it misses the negative impacts of Bio-Tech, but also not gloomy enough to show too much suffering.

This game sounds interesting...I have a few ideas for games sometimes I could share them with you guys.

Wow.. I missed a lot. I want to warn you now, 3D is not an area I am confident in. The DirectX engine I wrote in Delphi does support it but its very very basic. I used it for fast rendering of 2D with effects like morphing.

I was just thinking cut scenes if they could be saved as videos and have the code play the specific files? Btw Yai are we both awake right now?

@Kaiser I think that you can program a cutscene to play.

@Mr. Video Well, we've already established a story line, but feel free to share your ideas. "No idea is a bad idea." _{I Strongly disagree with that quote but whatever...}

@Kaiser do you think we could use isometric pixel art for the game. Also what are we making this for wiiware(I wish )
