DEMO OF MY NEXT FABULOUS GAME

Posted by I-smel Apr. 9, 2008 @ 9:04 PM EDT

Right, so after CannonCrotch got front page for a week, zero awards (???), and about £400 and rising (I BOUGHT A HDTV, IT SHITTED UP MY FREEVIEW) it's time to move on. I'll probably make a sequel to that one eventually, but for now lets do something else. And what do I like to do that's not shooting people? Punching people. I play alot more Streets Of Rage than I do Metal Slug. If you look through my news posts, you'll see that I wanted to make a Beat-em-up last year, but didn't have the determination, creativity or programming skills to do it. SO:

CONTROLS:
ARROW KEYS TO MOVE
A TO PUNCH
S TO CHOMP

LINK!!

WHAT'S THAT?? S TO CHOMP? YES. See, everything onscreen that's not background art is edible; and if you can't eat it, you can hit fools with it. Beating enemies to get their abilities is a common theme in games (Kirby, Megaman etc) and so is beating the shit out of people on a psuedo-3D plane (Streets of Rage, Final Fight etc) but as far as I know, they've never really been directly connected. It might be because people want hard, gritty, balls-to-the-wall realism when they're bustin on fools, and there's nothin realistic about breathing fire. I guess.

Although I'm KIND OF postin this to show off, I also want some feedback. And not technical games developer feedback, I mean graphical interface feedback. I don't know how far you got into CannonCrotch to notice this, but I am NOT a very creative person. If you've got any suggestions on things to eat, weapons, enemies, bosses, levels or ANYTHING, I'd probably put it in there. I need any help I can find with that. Remember, this game's my homage to beat-em-ups, so expect things like finding cooked meat in trash cans and eating it to replenish health to be a definate Yes.

I haven't decided what I'll call this yet. Maybe Chomp Something or- Jaws of... Justice.
I'll have to think of something less shit.

I THINK that's all I've got to say about that. Oh, except I'm adding more enemies right now. CannonCrotch had about 3 different enemy types, which I could get away with in a shooter, but in a beat-em-up I'll need at least twice that. Also, three things I learned from that game: DO NOT HAVE ANY GLITCHES IN THE FINAL VERSION WHAT-SO-EVER, nobody liked the low resolution cut scenes but me and DO NOT HAVE ANY GLITCHES IN THE FINAL VERSION WHAT-SO-EVER.

Writing this whole thing without using the phrase "eat-em-up" was harder than you can imagine.

Oh and by the way, swfcabin.com is an EXCELLENT swf upload thing.

And I just made an entry into NG MetalGear Solid collab. It's PRETTY SLICK.
Also Metal Gear Solid is cool.

WUT AN AMAZIN GAME OMG!


Apr. 9, 2008 | 9:16 PM DariusR says:

Wow, this looks ridiculously awesome

Apr. 9, 2008 | 9:22 PM I-smel responds:

Course it fuckin does.


Apr. 9, 2008 | 9:26 PM nathanielmilburn says:

the movements are kinda slow and the characters are really bland, but the rest is pretty nice.

Apr. 9, 2008 | 9:30 PM I-smel responds:

I think the slowdown shit is general framerate business. That'll be fixed once I compress it all at the end, change the background to a .PNG, all that shite.

And I'll make some more enemies, but I like the main guy cos he's so versatile and it's easy to make new powerups for him.


Apr. 9, 2008 | 9:30 PM Pig-Fart says:

the eating ability is fucking amazing, i cant wait to see what else you put in there

Apr. 9, 2008 | 9:31 PM I-smel responds:

Thanks, I can't wait to see if I can come up with anything good or not.

OH I just remembered: If you eat an enemy, you have two moves. Press S for an uppercut, hold S for a haymaker.

That kicks all unholy ass. Heres a few ideas for some weapons like you asked.
-slinkeys to wrap around your arms or something
-pens that you throw at people
-if you hit the garbage can instead of eat it, make the lid a weapon
-a blender that you find in the streets were you rip off the top
-hobo boxes you can put over people so their easier to eat
-beer bottles that you can beat people with or throw
and some abilitys...
-3-d glasses that make 2 of you, one facing left, the other facing rights, double the beating
-news paper stands that turn you all black and white that let you shoot razor paper
-a broken computer monitor on the side of the street flashing your game... and when you eat it it will give you a cannon crotch gun...
-a bunch of flowers that let you spray a gas that puts enemys to sleep
-a weird bunch of machine parts that turn you into a giant spring that jumps off screen leaving a little crossair you can move along the floor, then 3 seconds later you come crashing down

I dont program, but i bet this shit must be hard as hell to make. But i will be sure about this, you are getting pretty damn close to dan paliden, and if you keep it up with thease kickass games, you might be an important newgrounds dude along with lucas and tom.

Apr. 9, 2008 | 10:07 PM I-smel responds:

JOMGTHANKS. I love the games that come out when TomFulp n DanPaladin team up. I've got the same philosophy of takin timeless arcade mechanics n makin a new substantial game.

Right so weapons: I don't get how slinkies would work, but it's a good idea to have something extend out from your arm.
They'll be objects for throwin. I'll come up with somethin good for that.
A blender wouldn't fit in the streets, but it would be good for some kind of industrial level.
Cardboard boxes to put over people: Genious.
Beer bottles: Done.
Abilities-
3D glasses what make two of you, no that'd be weird. What could be big enough to eat that represents that? Also, why would they be facin opposite ways? Why isn't there two of anything else? Nah, that one's too complicated.
Newspaper stands- Maybe, if I could think of a more suitable abilty, cos you don't associate newspaper with shootin anything. You did just give me a good idea to have a photo copier/printer in a later level though: His mouth'd be a rectangular hole, photocopier light'd shoot out of it, then you'd just get a constant stream of paper shootin out. Not razor sharp paper, just paper. It could be useless but funny.
I have a sneaky idea that I don't know if I can even do or not: I might have an award for finishin the game where you can play through it as CannonCrotch, losin the ability to eat stuff, but gaining the ability to shoot and use grenades.
Puttin enemies to sleep might be useful, but I want to think of somethin more suitable for it than flowers
Te last one's a good idea, but it'd work better as a rocket or missile.

THESE ARE EXCELLENT SUGGESTIONS.


Apr. 9, 2008 | 9:59 PM The-EXP says:

Looks sah-weet.
But dont' default to low qual, it looks great in high/medium.

Apr. 9, 2008 | 10:08 PM I-smel responds:

It slows down on my PC. If it's like that on mine, it's bound to be the same on someone else's.


Apr. 9, 2008 | 10:18 PM HappyDude0 says:

Really really like it. Love the concept and art. Runs a little bit slow on my computer but I'm sure you'll have that sorted when it's released. I can't think of any improvements just keep doing what your doing. I'm very impressed and I can't wait to see the finished version.


Apr. 9, 2008 | 10:27 PM Goat-Man says:

Shaping up really nice.
Good work


Apr. 9, 2008 | 11:26 PM JackBlackKitten says:

I liked it a lot my favorite thing about your last game was the streets of rage music sor is awesome good luck with the game i hope it turns out great


Apr. 9, 2008 | 11:42 PM Lancer-Tan says:

Jesus Carpeting Christ this is fantastic! I wholeheartedly look forward to the full release. But just one thing you might wanna add, Armadillos. There, I said it.


Apr. 9, 2008 | 11:54 PM thedo12 says:

you need to be able to shoot a lazer out of your mouth , i dont know hwy but you just do

Apr. 10, 2008 | 3:24 PM I-smel responds:

Agreed.


Apr. 10, 2008 | 12:42 AM xNinj4x says:

Pretty fuckin sweet!

Apr. 10, 2008 | 3:24 PM I-smel responds:

Agreed.


Apr. 10, 2008 | 4:24 AM Magyar says:

Needs more cats.

Apr. 10, 2008 | 3:25 PM I-smel responds:

I disagree.


Apr. 10, 2008 | 8:09 AM WilPal says:

This is going to be an awesome game.
He needs to be able to eat more stuff though! :D

Apr. 10, 2008 | 3:25 PM I-smel responds:

True.


Apr. 10, 2008 | 9:15 AM UberBear says:

Its like kirby! only cooler =]

Apr. 10, 2008 | 3:25 PM I-smel responds:

Cooler? Let's not jump the gun here.


Apr. 10, 2008 | 9:22 AM ProjeX says:

Liked the thing about being able to eat things, only it looks kinda weird when the round guy walks through everything. Ull fix that, I think.
Looks awesome. Reminds me of dad n' me, looking forward to it.


Apr. 10, 2008 | 9:28 AM GreenCastle says:

Really neat concept. I think this one is going to turn out quite well.

I think there should be a spit button ('D' for drop?) that turns whatever is in your mouth into a missile and gets rid of it. Say you're walking around with a garbage can and you want to pick up a more awesome power, like a fire hydrant. With the current engine, you would need to jam S and watch your character barf for 15 seconds. O_o

Also, does the dog do anything?

Apr. 10, 2008 | 3:27 PM I-smel responds:

The dog is a trap. If you eat a dog, you're just stuck with it until it runs out.
Hopefully you'll learn you're lesson and stop eating dogs.

I might add the ability to drop stuff, but I don't wanna make it exactly like Kirby.


Apr. 10, 2008 | 12:05 PM JonBro says:

It's okay. I'd suggest having more detailed graphics that stand out more... And right now, it's pretty hard to get hit by the enemies =P

Apr. 10, 2008 | 3:27 PM I-smel responds:

I tested it being surrounded by 5 guys, it was fuckin impossible.


Apr. 10, 2008 | 1:12 PM snake51 says:

dude this game is fucking amazing hurry up and make it u crazy motherfucker


Apr. 10, 2008 | 3:14 PM wasb says:

Nice, i love brawlers.


Apr. 10, 2008 | 3:17 PM linkrocker says:

I ATE THE DOG AND I TURNED INTO A GIANT DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRY IT!!!!!!!!


Apr. 10, 2008 | 3:19 PM linkrocker says:

EAT THE BASKETBALL AND YOU WILL TURN INTO ONE!!!!


Apr. 10, 2008 | 3:20 PM linkrocker says:

EAT THE PLANTS!!!!!!!!! You will get a bird.

Apr. 10, 2008 | 3:28 PM I-smel responds:

lol


Apr. 10, 2008 | 3:25 PM linkrocker says:

Ok this is my last one you can delete the other comments. Things you can eat and what they do:
(S to eat and S to use special power)
-Dog: Turns you into one
-Plants: Turns you into a plant, makes a bird follow you and vine attack. Yes vine attack.
-Flaming trash can: Turns you into a flame ball and you can throw up fire out of your mouth. Yep fire.
-Basketball: Turns you into a basketball and you can bounce on enemies.
Haven't tried the whole thing yet.

Apr. 10, 2008 | 3:46 PM I-smel responds:

Everything's edible and they all do things. The garbage, the enemies, the bike, the concrete bollards- You can eat everything.


Apr. 10, 2008 | 3:56 PM Nevermind3 says:

It's like Kirby except more like a arcade beat-em-up that's good.
Glad you kept the cannoncrotch style, has a charm like DanPaladin stuff.

Apr. 10, 2008 | 4:04 PM I-smel responds:

Yeah I wasn't planning to at first, like I was just usin em as a placeholder. Then I just thought WHATEVER, people recognise it now, I might as well use it.


Apr. 10, 2008 | 4:05 PM KILLY12 says:

The demo was fun and I look fowerd to the game.


Apr. 10, 2008 | 4:05 PM DillePickle says:

thedo12 says:

Seconded


Apr. 10, 2008 | 8:52 PM Lalo says:

OK VERY IMPORTANT: Shouldnt your abilities make more damage that normal punches? i mean whenever i had gotten a power i would use A instead of the power since it makes more damage... you should fix that : ) thats what special powers are for anyways, they're suposesed to be more powerful :O

Apr. 10, 2008 | 9:55 PM I-smel responds:

I thought they were. Some are stupid powerful, like eatin an enemy n holdin down S


Apr. 10, 2008 | 10:34 PM ShadowTao says:

Well to make things look better I'd say you should do something to make your life bar and chompy bar have more pizazz. And the buildings looked a little bard. Other than that the game looks awesomestastic like sliced butter.


Apr. 11, 2008 | 4:57 PM L-L-Lag says:

fuckin link don't work fer me.
gonna give this a 0/10 >:(


Apr. 18, 2008 | 6:40 PM L-L-Lag says:

o shit i played it now.

FOOD FOR FIGHT IDEAS:
depending on different scene settings etc...
like an OFFICE!;
-copy machine - become a fax or w/e and shoot paper, giving enemies nasty paper cuts.
-desk - shoot random office supply projectiles
-coffee machine - increased moving speed and punching for some time whilst on a caffeine high

like a GYM;
-different weight machines
--treadmill - grind people with that walking strip like a giant sander
--bench press - throw random sized weight blocks with dmg related to size hits.
--fitness trainer - get all bulky and steroidy for a time

also the game rocks so far

Apr. 21, 2008 | 7:54 PM I-smel responds:

copy machine Im allready havin, cos I allready mentioned it
desk- a desk is fuckin massive, Id have to think of somethin smaller
coffee machine- GENIOUS

I never thought of havin a gym, but now I have to
treadmill- yes
bench press- yes
fitness trainer- yes


May. 8, 2008 | 12:04 PM Sh0e says:

I might be to late but still wanted to give some ideas!

-Eat mushroom/plantlike something to make you all druggy and get to walk in slowmotion.
-Eat a tin can ( garbage container ) to make you wear that container ( like some sort of armor ) which makes you get less damage from punches.
-Eat a tv or some sort which gives you the ability to shock people with electric current
-Eat a woman giving you a fancy dress and a wig gives you abilty to scream at a high pitch so that enemies are paralyzed for short amount of time

For in a gym
-Eat a guy whos training to get sporty t-shirt and shoes which makes you walk faster
and for in the dressing room
-Eat a shower to spray your targets with water
-Have a wet towel as a weapon

For in a office
-Eat a water cooler to spray your targets with water
-Eat a office chair to give you wheels as shoes which makes you move faster
-Eat the office boss to get a fancy top hat and tuxido giving you the ability to yell at people which will make them cry and paralyze them for short amount of time

Mayb for a lvl idea a garage
-Eat cartires to give you same ability as the bicycle in the sample game
-Eat a welding device to get flame breath
-Eat a can of spray paint to blind ur enemies
-Eat a fire extinguisher that is hanging on the walls to get soapy breath or use it as a hand weapon
-Eat the door of a car to give you armor which decreases damage taken
-Wrenches to use as weapons
Just a few ideas. And like always ur stuff looks great.

May. 12, 2008 | 5:02 PM I-smel responds:

EXCELLENCE

drugs- I do like the idea that you could have some homeless people who give you the same ability as the trash can, but sometimes the drug ability (I jus made that up) but I dont know how Id communicate the ability to the player like I COULD do it slow motion, but that doesnt really spell out stoned. Alot of the things I want to do would fuck up the framerate. OH WAIT- I could take the drunk effect from gta where the camera goes all WOOOOoooOOOooOoOo. it could be a bad powerup. Ill have to think about it more

tin can armour- itd be hard to do armour cos his head is his body. actually I could do a helmet. I could do alot of hats tbh. I COULD DO HATS THAT YOU UNLOCK AND THEY GIVE YOU PERMANENT ABILITIES =O
anyway, armour would have to have an ability to go with it. I cant think of one

electric current- Ill do the power, but I want to give it you a different way

wimmin- right I just thought of a good idea. at one part of the game, a crowd runs passed you to signify that theres a big boss comin up, and if youre fast enough, you can eat a woman. you have a wig and a dress, and high heels. the ability is a sexy dance that has no effect on the enemy. it can be a secret joke powerup

GYM- good, it could fit in the idea of having a mall
TRAINER- yes. you could keep joggin whenever you stop movin
SHOWER- same ability as the fire hydrant, but thatll work
TOWEL- thats dumb

OFFICE- I dont know where thatd fit in, and its not a very fun environment
WATER COOLER- they dont spray. although, I could make him semi-transparent and fill him with water AND HAVE THE TAP WHERE HIS DICK SHOULD BE, THEN IF YOY HOLD S IT LOOKS LIKE HES PEENING but what use is that...
OFFICE CHAIR- needs an ability and I cant think of one
BOSS- dumb idea

GARAGE- maayyyybe I can fit this in.
car tires- I like it
welder thing- good idea
spray paint- yeah but then everyone'd ask WHY DOESNT IT ACTUALLY PAINT EM? and the answer would be I CANT DO THAT and Id feel dumb
IFRE EXTINGUISHER- good idea. I could have an optional part o the level thats on fire, and the only way to get to it is to keep the fire extinguishe for the whole level
CAR DOOR- needs an ability, I cant think of one
WRENCHES- ok, why not

AWESOME

It looks a bit weird that when chomping, you always eat stuff lying on the ground, but the animation shows him jumping in the air, so he doesn't actually hit what you're chomping at.

May. 12, 2008 | 4:43 PM I-smel responds:

Actually, he doesn't jump. He does chomp in like mid-air though.

I noticed that myself pretty early on. That's ALLWAYS a problem with animating games; you never know exactly how a player'll see an animation, like what context. This explains why everyone's run cycle is about 3 frames, cos I never know exactly at which point in the loop the player is gonna stop. Also, at this point, I don't know what he's gonna be eating for the rest of the game.

For about the first week of development, the only thing you could eat was this fireball that was just floating in mid-air (later changed to a burning barrel) and chomping it looked exactly right. That was the first idea I had- that you had these floating powerups dotted about the level that you could eat. Later on, I changed the concept, but I didnt want to do that animation again because aaauuuuuhhhrrrrrrrrrrr.

and if I had an animation of him eating stuff specifically on the floor, I think people would think of it less as a game where you eat stuff and more as a game where you eat stuff off the floor. Which is weird

lol Im on a games course, this looks like a fuckin evaluation
believe it or not, I deleted half of it
