DEMO OF MY NEXT FABULOUS GAME

Posted by I-smel - April 9th, 2008

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!

DariusR 2008-04-09 21:16:31

Wow, this looks ridiculously awesome

I-smel 2008-04-09 21:16:31

Course it fuckin does.

imjeffhip 2008-04-09 21:26:24

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

I-smel 2008-04-09 21:26:24

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.

Pig-Fart 2008-04-09 21:30:10

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

I-smel 2008-04-09 21:30:10 (Updated 2008-04-09 21:31:24)

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.

technogeek3 2008-04-09 21:49:23

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.

I-smel 2008-04-09 21:49:23

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.

The-EXP 2008-04-09 21:59:53

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

I-smel 2008-04-09 21:59:53

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

HappyDude0 2008-04-09 22:18:54

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.

Graeme 2008-04-09 22:27:22

Shaping up really nice.
Good work

Lancer-Tan 2008-04-09 23:42:43

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.

thedo12 2008-04-09 23:54:58

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

I-smel 2008-04-09 23:54:58

Agreed.

xNinj4x 2008-04-10 00:42:29

Pretty fuckin sweet!

I-smel 2008-04-10 00:42:29

Agreed.

Magyar 2008-04-10 04:24:51

Needs more cats.

I-smel 2008-04-10 04:24:51

I disagree.

WilPal 2008-04-10 08:09:04

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

I-smel 2008-04-10 08:09:04

True.

UberBear 2008-04-10 09:15:18

Its like kirby! only cooler =]

I-smel 2008-04-10 09:15:18

Cooler? Let's not jump the gun here.

ProjeX 2008-04-10 09:22:17

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.

GreenCastle 2008-04-10 09:28:17

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?

I-smel 2008-04-10 09:28:17

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.

JonBro 2008-04-10 12:05:07

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

I-smel 2008-04-10 12:05:07

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

snake51 2008-04-10 13:12:11

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

wasb 2008-04-10 15:14:09

linkrocker 2008-04-10 15:17:26
