1. Ninja Themed Side Scroller -- Pure Basic
Side Scroller where your a ninja, tons of weopens, several different enemies, powerups, etc. So far I have written the base movement and graphical engine.
2. Pirate the RPG -- ASM Help (xLib)
Battle your way from crew hand to captain in this fast paced action RPG. It would include a completely nonlinear storyline, several boats to choose from (with powerups/items for each), boat battles, mutiny's (you choose which side to take), and real time combat. Search island's for treasure, while battling half dead zombie pirates, etc on land. I have done no work on this so far (being I never learned to use xLib).
There are sevaral more but this is what I'm going to work on for now.

The pirate game also reminds me of my own project, Space Trader, in a way. I've been bitten by the lazy bug: haven't touched my programs for about a month, though I did some tinkering with the pictures. :banghead:

P.S. As you all have seen, I've not been posting around here much for the last month. I posted a little on UTI, but for the most part, I've been swamped with work, and my computer has been taken away several times. I should be posting more now, with some projects also. :D

Anyway, I need some puzzle mechanics designed before going any further. Post (preferably stationary) ideas here (please). I have a few, but not enough for a large game.
I made a checklist of everything that needs to get done in the order it needs to get done, should take a month if everything goes according to plan at the rate I'm working now to finish it. Then I'll do Pirate RPG and finally the side scroller.
Memory wise, it looks like I'll be able to have 100 or more rooms if I go all out.
On a side note, I found the map to an old platformer/rpg I was working on earlier this year beneath my desk.

I finished the phisics and added tiles that when stood on for a short period of time will break. I got several mixed opinions from freinds last night on graphics, if you guys don't like them after the first demo I will come up with a new system. Elevator's are much more difficult then I thought, I will include them but I'm getting lazy in coding them in. I edited certain sections of code so that while they are slightly slower, they are MUCH easier to edit and add features in the future (and depending on how much this game has can end up being faster).
Anybody else have any ideas for puzzle mechanics (I'm having trouble coming up with ideas and until I have a bunch no demo).
EDIT: Sorry for the double post.
Post by: Speler on April 11, 2007, 11:15:00 am
). I added several features, it's running much slower then before but it's still fast on 84+'s. I figure I'm gonna start working on the map one room at a time, as many of them having content as possible (i.e. no empty hallway rooms). If I can get stuff done (and find my cable) a simple demo may be ready by the end of next week.

. And puzzle mechanics?? hmmm? I think there should be doors that need 3 pieces of a puzzle to open them up and the three pieces are spread out upon the levels. And the doors left you get into secrect levels and things. You could easily store the three piceces as a list of 1's and 0's showing if they have them or not and if they have them all then the doorway disappears. Stuff like that would be cool I think and increase the gameplay.
Post by: Speler on April 12, 2007, 03:35:00 pm
-A large, fairly empty map (it will be filled in time, this is just a skeliton).
-Basic game engines.
-Some switch stuff.
-Some cool puzzle stuff.
-No enemies (that will be next, and final release).
And dinhotheone, just played up to water temple in Ocorina of Time this past weekend. Your right, it may help a bit.
Post by: Speler on April 17, 2007, 02:38:00 pm
I have decided to add a large array of weopons to this game that not only deal damage to enemies but in some cases actually it acts as more then that (as in with bombs which can blow up certain tiles).
Post by: Delnar_Ersike on April 18, 2007, 09:29:00 am
Oh yeah, Super_Speler, can you make a puzzle that is timed? For example, while you are trying to solve it, the walls slowly crawl closer or the lava underneath is slowly rising? That would add awesome tension to the puzzles.

Post by: Speler on April 24, 2007, 09:12:00 am
Now a question, should I have a small storyline (would have to drop some stuff), an elaborate (would really impact gameplay) or no storyline (advantages obvious)?

do you mean like zeldaesque items or like you need this talisman to go to that dungeon and you need the talisman for that dungeon to get to the next dungeon, i mean will it be unable to procede due to gameplay or storyline
you could always make it so that you can goto dungeons in multiple orders. but like most zelda games this is hard to do unless you go into the dungeon and steal the item there then leave. so the only thing i can think of that you could make non linear is outside events, which i guess you could make minimal with a small storyline. things that couold change could be like things that are useful but not required like extra life/arrows/bombs/bottles (if you are wondering, i did playthrough the snes zelda) also you could do something like in the gb zelda with the trading system but i dont actually remember what it gives you :(
(another playthrough i guess) or like if you did one thing, someone could show you a side entrance into a dungeon that makes things easier...also on a side note, one dungeon should be in the belly of a giant fish.

Also, to speed up loading times and lower the save game size (as well as be easier to code and save space), I'm thinking certain items like health packs will not disapear after you find them and instead just refill your health completely.

Secret
I'm working on a game with several members of UTI, you can probably find some info if you look hard but don't ask me for any. It has been progressing at a fairly constant rate (and already has a lot of content, though I have honestly produced a minimal amount of it :(
).Un-named Puzzle Platformer
I spent some time this morning writing an engine for a puzzle platformer that's basically side view donut quest. It'll have lot's of cool mechanics (moving blocks (which of course fall if you move them off the edge and interact with other items), explosives, breakable tiles and of course gold coins (which is what you collect). So far I have, the movement system, the graphics system (it's a similar concept as The Game's, only a bit slower), breakable objects, and a simple enemy system (I spent 4 hours on it this morning). It's a bit unoptimized, but that'll change in time.
Pirate RPG
On hold until Iambian finishes the tile mapper he's making for me (uses strings rather then matrices), see Pirate RPG topic for more details.
Project Omnimaga Racing Ngine mod
Have yet to really start, though I have done a bit of 'decoding' Kevin's code.
Later today I'll work on Secret a bit and then the Project Omnimaga Racing Ngine mod. It's nice to be seriously coding again :)
.EDIT: I'm also considering a rewrite of Zoith (one that isn't as slow and bulky), thoughts on this?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 16, 2007, 11:32:00 am
, it was fun thoWIll the race ngine mod be an entire game or just a mod with more features? Still cool in both way tho, just wondering ;)
