[Contest] My First Quantum Translocator
« on: November 26, 2011, 02:28:53 pm »
A port of the critically acclaimed Flash game.

Since JustCause handed the project over to me, I've been working on porting this for the Cemetech Contest #8. Things are going pretty well, and I've got about half of the engine done with. I'm currently working on platform collisions, and will have updates once I have them ^^

Looking pretty cool so far :)

The background looks a bit weird tho, maybe make the lines more regular or something?

Very cool! I'm sure it'll do well if you have the time to get a sizable chunk of it completed by the deadline. :)

I love the background. Sad to see JustCause cancelled it (although I blame his parents for nearly killing it about 3 times), but I'm happy he handed it to someone else and that it's being continued. :D

Updates!

I plan to get all of it done - and then some ^^

He didn't cancel it, I just asked him and he said ok. He was still planning on doing it, but I stole it from him D:

Looks nice.

Small nitpick: maybe you want to take a look at the drawing code for the sprite you have there: there's some white-space lag. I don't know how to explain it, but watch the screenie really closely and you'll see.

Nice effects, btw. Also I like the background. I was going to suggest using something other than just pure b/w blocks too (You'd have to use masked sprites though)

I think most of the char is supposed to be white, except the white is seen as transparent on white and doesn't effect the bg, with the black part a sort of helmet visor or something.
(like the original sprite: http://cellardoorgames.com/blog/?page_id=326 )

And somehow he's already one-upped my version. Epic work, Leafy. :)

That screenshot looks awesome. When I first saw it, I was amazed first by the background, which gives it a sort of spacey feel. The background effects (you know, those white lines thing) gives it more of a science-y feel. When I saw the particles and noted the different colors given what is being done with them, I knew that... someone... was paying extra close attention to detail :)

I enjoyed playing the original flash game, and given what I see here, this is something I'm hoping to see finished in the near future.
A Cherry-Flavored Iambian draws near... what do you do? ...

I've fined tuned all the motions, and implemented the bouncy platforms. I have yet to get the platforms fully working, but I'm attempting to cannibalize Zedd for my own purposes ^^

okay I pretty much have no idea what's going on in that screenie, having never played the flash game (I will, sometime), but it looks awesome.

EDIT: K, I think I got it now.

Funny enough, the other day I told DJ how awesome MFQT was by JosJuice. Good to see it revived, even if not by him. Good luck!

EDIT: JustCause, not JosJuice.
