Title: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
Post by: necro on October 28, 2008, 11:43:01 pm: The game engine, which is the brunt of what free time I have right now, will probably be used for more than just Lorn and Combat Ball. I have a number of ideas for games that could be made one the engine fairly simply, some of which would require relatively little art and take perhaps a few hours total to make, while others would require quite a bit of effort. Until I put up info for the games themselves, I'll put any such materials in here.

Post by: necro on November 03, 2008, 11:18:52 pm: well, in recent news i have been slowly moving all my files from my laptop to my vista per my my laptop's usb no-longer working, and its screen dying (using an external monitor). Sufice it to say I am not getting much done till I can transfer everything. While I keep hoping to be to be more active, crap like this keeps coming up. For some more possitive news I did get a major portion of my level editor working (allowing me to resize the corners of objects I add to the work area.) Hopefully I will have something to talk about soon.

keep in mind, the semi transparent parts were just quickly thrown togther to test how well this would work

Post by: kalan_vod on December 13, 2008, 02:54:06 am: Really great work, even something simple like that status bars look amazing!
Title: Re: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 13, 2008, 03:00:00 am: i also liked what he posted on IRC, altough Idk if I am allowed to share here. But it was quite shocking and I would wish the game actually had this O.o

EDIT: actually necro posted about it just now in the screenshot thread

Post by: simplethinker on December 13, 2008, 12:30:31 pm: Looks great!
Title: Re: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
Post by: necro on December 18, 2008, 05:04:48 am: Well, work continues on the editor for this. I starting to hit a brick wall with trying to get certain things to work due to me cutting corners earlier, so I am going to be doing a major code clean up. In my defense, game maker is not well designed for the sorts of things I am trying to make it do (complex code development), but anyways, I figure I might as well show you what the editor I have no plans to release looks like.

Oh, and I just found out you can overload scripts in gml which makes me very happy...its not as good as having constructors, but meh

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 18, 2008, 11:08:14 am: ooooh interesting, I also hope you can get around the bugs in the other project that cause the game to not run on most computers

Post by: kalan_vod on December 18, 2008, 01:44:33 pm: Looks pretty nice, I like the curser thing.

Title: Re: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
Post by: kalan_vod on February 08, 2009, 01:24:06 am: Haha, I thought it was a feature in one of your games..Make it look like a 68k calc :P

Leaves are a bit wonky, but at least I figured out how to make a brush for them. Maybe darken them and decrease the alpha?

The idea is a simplified side scrolling rpg, the graphics right now are in a state of flux since I decided near monochrome with details would work better than silouetes.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 16, 2010, 08:05:08 pm: i like the effect in this one

Title: Re: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
Post by: necro on January 17, 2010, 03:00:50 pm: Shouldn't require much, as long as direct x works it should be fine.
Title: Re: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
Post by: Geekboy1011 on January 17, 2010, 06:19:47 pm: awsome cause running a computer with a p3 processor sucks it can barely play a "newer" good looking games
Title: Re: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
Post by: Builderboy on January 18, 2010, 12:06:03 pm: That is looking awesome! Love the black and white display, for some reason it makes it look very cool :) Very good use of art direction ;D Can't wait to see more!

Thank the gods I won't be using color
Title: Re: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 19, 2010, 03:42:33 am: Nice ^^, also what I like about grayscale is that it's usually 256 colors only but due to lack of colors will look almost as great (if not better) as 24-bit depth
Title: Re: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
Post by: Eeems on January 19, 2010, 10:17:51 am: Oh wow! That looks intense!

Title: Re: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
Post by: Builderboy on January 19, 2010, 03:43:43 pm: Indeed. Might want to put it behind the grass though, the ground looks a little too flat underneath if you know what i mean.
Title: Re: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
Post by: necro on January 19, 2010, 03:59:06 pm: That will be less of a problem as I get more tiles done. As well, I really want to finish some of the effects I plan to have.

Title: Re: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
Post by: Builderboy on January 22, 2010, 02:00:17 pm: Looks awesome! Is that going to be your character or just an NPC? (or just concept art :P)
Title: Re: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
Post by: necro on January 22, 2010, 04:01:14 pm: Main character. The game concept, while similar has been changed a bit so I wanted a different character design.

Title: Re: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
Post by: Builderboy on January 24, 2010, 01:02:19 pm: Nice! Is it animated? Does the background animate and the drops fall? It would be cool to see a screenshot of that if you have it ;)

keep in mind, this is a fairly "large" animation even at 10 frames a second if you have a slow connection (over 6 megs for 6 seconds X.)
Title: Re: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff

How much will you use this in the game?
Title: Re: Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
Post by: necro on January 26, 2010, 04:36:08 pm: I'm not sure how exactly weather will work. I'll probably determine that as I flesh other features out more.
