Guess what this game's going to be about! That's fun, right?
We make games and get in discussions

It uses the Tesselode™ Physics System.popcan12 wrote:What physics engine does it use?
Wouldn't it be quite easy to have a random generation of an interger (in a range) and have that represent one of the rooms? or is it the actual platformer element you'd have trouble with?tesselode wrote:OK, so I'm scrapping this idea. My idea was to have a metroidvania where rooms would be moved around and switched out with other rooms randomly each time you started the game, but that would be way too hard to design.
I have a new idea that I'm working on though; more info on that later.
It's the design element. Since it's supposed to be a Metroidvania, you would expect upgrades or keys and doors or something, but if the rooms are in random order, it's very likely that you will be over to skip over a certain part, or even worse, it's possible that you won't be able to get past a certain part.Mr.Q.Marx? wrote:Wouldn't it be quite easy to have a random generation of an interger (in a range) and have that represent one of the rooms? or is it the actual platformer element you'd have trouble with?tesselode wrote:OK, so I'm scrapping this idea.

Why would you abandon such an amazing project? D:tesselode wrote:Haha, my old and abandoned projects keep getting bumped.
Because it's not. I came to the conclusion that the game wouldn't be very fun. Also, if I did want to work on it, I should probably gain some graphic skills first.Legend_of_Kirby wrote:Why would you abandon such an amazing project?

What do you mean it won't be fun? Give me three things that will make the game not fun.tesselode wrote:Because it's not. I came to the conclusion that the game wouldn't be very fun. Also, if I did want to work on it, I should probably gain some graphic skills first.
how do you know it's fun if you haven't even played it?TheJonyMyster wrote:What do you mean it won't be fun? Give me three things that will make the game not fun.tesselode wrote:Because it's not.

one reason it WILL be fun:
everybody loves games that are randomized
(I would put more, but not much info on the game was posted)

I actually haven't played it, or for that matter, developed it enough to actually know if it's fun from experience. However, the idea of the game was that there would be puzzles involving both exploration and avoiding ghosts that only move in shadows. There probably wouldn't be very many interesting things I could do with that mechanic. Maybe somebody could make the game good just with a good enough atmosphere, but that's not my strong suit.TheJonyMyster wrote:xXxrenhoekxXx wrote:because he has played it.TheJonyMyster wrote:That's what I'm asking HIM!

...They why don't you see if you can release the demo and then see if anyone would continue it! So sad seeing these very cool and innovating games just being canceled! *COUGH* Megaman legends 3 *COUGH*tesselode wrote:Because it's not. I came to the conclusion that the game wouldn't be very fun.

then you can make "groups" of chambers that can be random, so like one map, whit random starting points. after player finding the upgrades and keys, the next stage would be unlocked, whether it has random startiong points or not.tesselode wrote:It's the design element.

I want to try ☺tesselode wrote:Yeah, I guess I didn't explain that very well. That is the main character, who is a person with half of his face replaced with a metal plate. He's wearing a large cape thing. He does indeed have feet, but they only need to poke out a bit for the jumping animation.
Edit: Never mind, don't bother animating it. Apparently you can't even tell what he is anyway.
also, why are they 2 sprites whit different ey colors? which way are they looking at? otherwise my jump sprites would look like broken pancakes...croobos wrote:I want to try ☺tesselode wrote:Yeah, I guess I didn't explain that very well.
