updates!
based on suggestions from ApM after playing shaft A, i diminished the radius of rhonda's torchlight. i think it makes the game stronger - i find myself keeping towards the bottom of the screen when i do this, instead of hanging near the top, which is what i want the player to be doing. i also made the wall bats more sensitive.
also, why not, here's a partial screen grab from the SEKRIT PROJECT. recognize anyone?

so i did most of the graphics for the next two stages (whichever stage the player chooses to visit as stage 2) in rhonda. the walls are going to be a slightly different color - a more reddish hue - to signify that we've gone deeper. later stages will have more significant shifts in hue and/or texture. i drew the arrows and goblins, though they might warrent some redrawing when i see them in motion.
i still need to draw the rock monsters and their chuckin' boulders. i think i am going to have them hide as breakable blocks until you get close, like in plunder-mine. any block could potentially be a vicious boulder-chuckin' monster, and you won't know it until you see their red, red eyes.
i also made three stages in the SEKRIT PROJECT, which we might as well go ahead and call by its working title, ladybug. i want to draw some more wall graphics for it, as i think the stages need more color. the enemies provide a lot, but most of them are dead by the end of the stage.
and i need to begin seriously planning the update to jaywalker. _________________

so let me just say something: if it can tate, it can reverse tate, and you'd better make sure to include it. PLEASE!
see also: Psyvariar 2 is better than the other DC shooters precisely because of this very notion.
see also also: The Dell 2405FPW is a fantastic monitor with more inputs than I can count, but for some reason it rotates clockwise! Oh noes! Think of the children! |

i drew sixteen new tiles for ladybug that serve no purpose beyond scenery. they make the background of the stages look more colorful and varied, though. here is the test stage (not appearing in the actual game) before and after.
most of them are modular rather than single tiles. i prefer this because it allows me to create things that are new and interesting-looking in each stage. the bolted green panels use two different sprites and allow for all sorts of shapes and sizes of things. i'm fond of the wires too.
the danger of course is making the screen overly busy with things that convey no information to the player, as these screenshots kind of demonstrate. the actual stages won't contain so many different elements that it becomes distracting and samey. hopefully! _________________

These demos look promising. I really enjoyed the Invader game which is why I'm here really. Am a GM user myself and like checking out the quality games made with it. |

so i've finally started drawing some sprites for the updated game of pedestrian revenge.
besides sammie, marjorie is totally my favorite character that i've designed.
aside from looking much prettier, the update will bring these changes to the original game: cars that don't swerve will mix with the other cars from the beginning, and there will be no safe place to stand in the intersection.
and hopefully music and better sound effects, if i can get a volunteer to produce them.
there's also a new stage in ladybug. _________________

can you open up game controllers under control panel, and click on the saturn pad and then on "properties"? a screen should come up with numbers that light up when you press the corresponding buttons, i think. what i want to know is which button makes number 1 light up, which number 2, etcetera. what i really want to know is which numbers the A, B, X and Y buttons light up. _________________

yikes. that makes a lot more sense than the way my ps2 saturn pad is mapped, but it means the joystick layout in ladybug is just not going to work with that controller. so i guess i'll make another control option!
thanks for the infos! _________________

(this is one of those streets where the north-south-running sidewalks have been swallowed up in grey void.)
so, servicable but plain. i'm not sure if i want to stick with simple but recognizable or try to add lots of details i'll never be happy with. well, we'll see. _________________

Posted: Thu Apr 27, 2006 5:02 am Post subject: oddball xxroads idea... |
|
|
This morning between snooze alarms (after only around 3 1/2 hours sleep) I had an idea for xxroads that is brilliant, dumb, infeasible, or some mix and balance of the 3.
Here it is: I think a small # of the levels, maybe one in five, should be partially underwater. Have a waterline about 2/3 of the way up. Creatures and bullets move at 1/2 speed underwater, except for a small # of creatures that ONLY can be underwater that move with grace down there, fish (some critters that seem naturally amphibious, like the snakes of the original and manybe a green "merman" type might have their movement unchanged.)
There are two strong visual compoments to this: the less important one would be a little Mega Man 2-like visual 'splish' when a creature rises above or falls below the waterline. The other is gratuitous shimmering particle effect bubbles that rise up peridically from creatures underwater, just for show.
I think water would be an interesting twist for a game that is mostly following the iconic "overhead but side-perspective" view of Crossroads. I don't know if Gamemaker could tint everything below the line a bit blueish as well, it's not that important to my idea....
Anyway, obviously a kind of odd duck of an idea, fell free to incorporate or disregard it. |

I would work this in Megazeux by detecting if a water tile was under the player's sprite. If so, it would change the player's sprite's color to reflect it being underwater. I imagine Gamemaker should be able to do something along those lines. _________________

As a followup, maybe the bubbles would just emerge when and where shots were fired, or maybe streaming from the soaring bullets as they make their merry way.. |

that would just be playing too crazy with the perspective. a pool in the middle of the stage might work though. _________________

Well, fair enough.
Maybe instead of a pool of water (which kind of messes w/ the perspective, since it would seem to have to be sunk into a floor or something) it could be a great big wobbly mass of jello, with some of the same properties I described earlier, but with extra wobbliness on the edges. |

Not sure what you mean exactly but I'm fairly sure GM should be capable of it. Seen it do plenty of fancy graphic effects, especially since the last version was released. A blue tint shouldn't be a problem. |

I actually don't know very much about Gamemaker at all, other then being a little bummed that it's not multiplatform and seems to only support 2 controllers.... it seems quite nifty overall |

Yeah. Though it does support every button on both the Playstation Dual Shock joypads I have plugged in, including both analogue sticks and the L3/R3 buttons in those sticks. Just wish more people had similar joypads for PC.. I'd make more games that actually used these things.
Haven't been able to get it 'shocking' the pads yet though. It may be possible via a DLL file though which is how most people expand on the features of GM. Perhaps someone can write a DLL to support more than two pads too... |

Not quite that simple. I had some ideas that would use both analogue sticks and all shoulder buttons in a way that would be near impossible to do any other way. Trying to force some other control schemes in there would potentially harm the game in my opinion.
Might end up doing mini-game versions of them sometime anyways just to satisfy my own curiosity as to if the game would even be fun to play and actually work. |

drawin' cars!
move at different speeds, with the red cars being the slowest and the grey/black being the fastest. cars which have spoilers will not swerve around the player.
hummers will show up rarely as bonuses. they're extra big, so they can cause big crashes, but they won't swerve, so the player has to crash something into them. _________________

Right.
I could have sworn it looked different earlier today. I can't say I'm a big fan of bloom on pixel art, but it still looks pretty good. _________________

movement has been implemented, and all the cars except the hummer. the routine that spawns them hasn't been written yet, and marjorie's facial expressions still have to be implemented. _________________

That Jaywalkers quite an addictive lil game. Didn't realise it had joypad controls too. Music sorta bugs me.. not the tunes itself (though not fond of sung vocals in simple games), just the bloaty format really but doesn't matter too much. |

well, you can turn the music off with the S key. i'm pretty sure both that and the joypad control is mentioned in the readme!
also i made a minor update to the game: the high score on the title screen now travels with the sign, rather than appearing after it's finished moving.
the source can be downloaded here.
the next thing i'll probably do is make ladybug's stages larger, which means redoing most of the stages i've already created. i think the game will work better with more space, though. _________________

the game auto reads from the joystick in port 1, so unplugging it or making sure it is calibrated correctly will probably solve your problem.
or just using the controller!
i've updated the game and source again. it seems the comments i put in the source threw off the code and created some bugs. i think i have them all fixed now. you should download the game again if you already have, but keep your gamedata file if you want to keep your high score. _________________

Well, unplugging the controller fixes the problem, and calibrating makes it a tiny bit better, but it's still a problem for me. Is there a way of turning down the sensitivity? (This is running off the analog stick, not the d-pad).
Also, I've had several problems with sound appearing to be from the next Oval album. |

Hahah. I've always been interested in glitched-out music like that. Every time that happens to me I always make a recording of it. The music from seiklus sounds quite interesting when you're playing it on a too-slow virtual machine. _________________

glitched sound, eh? you can turn off the music by pressing S, which will leave just the sound effects. if you can tell me which is glitching, the music or the sound effects or both, that'll be a help. _________________
