Squid - Please post another screenie to silence the skeptics. You obviously know how to load in images in DBP as you have a title screenie. If that was just a mockup in Paint or a non-TGC title, just tell us now to avoid more flames.

Yes, even if all the textures are screwed up like you said they were, showing us is better than getting slammed for not posting enough progress.

EDIT: NEVER tell someone not to trust you.

I can see where your going with this, which is fine. But the backround would look so much cooler if you sat down with a good art program and sprused the visuals up quite a bit. Always remember that ghraphics don't make the game, gameplay does. But also remember that gameplay can be made insanely better by graphics that suck the player in and enhance the suspention of disbelief.

I agree with Megaton...how is that a screenshot
seriously spend a little longer in paint next time.
Im normaly constuctive but thats as constructive as i'll be, Squid is consistantly an unreliable character when it comes to any sign of progress...how can we even tell thats in DB, you might be trying to pull a 'sage tech' on us (sorry sage but ya did ! )

Please show somthing that looks more like a project.

Ok - Yeah, this was just a temp level, put it up cuz JeKu wanted a screenie up. I'm working on the graphics, because right now, they suck.
Quote: "seriously spend a little longer in paint next time."

I didn't use paint mutch, I used Adobe Photoshop Elements, and I will spend longer, but this was just temp graphics anyway.
Quote: "how can we even tell thats in DB, you might be trying to pull a 'sage tech' on us (sorry sage but ya did!)"

Yeah, I did. That was stupid... Theres really no way too prove I'm using DB right now, or if I'm using GameMaker, besides the icons. I'm using DBP, wanna' bet?
Quote: "Please show somthing that looks more like a project."

I'm working on coding it now!

No, Sage Tech's working on a city simulator, and has enough done that he's asking for beta testers... it would be hard for him to fake everything if he plans to release a beta version.

But I can't say Squids Revenge is a clone or not... it's hard to tell on a forum who the clones are.

I would make several clones of myself, and get most of them to go and make money for me. Of course the most profitable way of making money in a short space of time would be to sell my body, only I wouldn't be selling my body, would I. Genious

You have far too much time on your hands.

Plus your sig is 30 pixels too big in one dimension.

Could we PLEASE stay on topic instead off going off into this clone and sig crap.

And I just saw this:
Quote: "NEVER tell someone not to trust you."

Why not? Does it matter?

Crud, I just went off topic.

Sorry Squid, but your last update was a real let down, as I was sure that you would have something good to show, and when your thred hasn't been focused on your game nearly as much as on your creditability, it's hard to stay on topic.

Never tell someone not to trust you cause it makes you come off as a real jackass.

I hope your next update shows a lot more work, as I'm feeling swayed to join the majority here that feel you're unreliable and untrustworthy. Just keep your responces frienldy and less upsetting, cause you aren't helping yourself at all by being rude.

Meh.. inclined to agree.

Mods should seriously, seriously, seriously start getting rid of non WIP threads like this because it's not fair on people who have real progress to report - their threads just dissapear.

I don't usually complain about stuff on the forums but this does annoy me - on the main WIP page their is - off the top of my head -

> Snow Wars
> this (with 74 replies no less)
> Some "game" with a few renders from Poser of stuff he didn't make

And it's like that all the time. People are so busy posting in these crap threads that real stuff like EZCharacter, Lonewolf, Jazz Jackrabbit, Katey's Quest etc... just keep dissapearing. Candidly, I wish my thread got more exposure too, but it just keeps dissapearing because of sh*t like this.

Dumbo and Cool - DEFINATELY coming July 31st.

You know what's ironic?

The bull*hit threads like this with zero progress and quality usually get 10x the amount of views and posts as the threads where people show off completed demos and screenshots.

Something's not right here.

Squids Revenge,

http://www.gtagaming.com/topdown/gta1/vehicles
(just for reference for your own artwork)

Here is a link to some 2D top-down car graphics from Grand Theft Auto. It may help you as a reference when you replace your stand-in graphics.
These are a bit smaller than your scale, but as an artist I always find that using references helps with your own artwork. Also google [images] police cruisers for different views and styles of police cars.

Not sure if its just the crud jpg compression, but on the title screen, you should use "Load image <Image filename>,<Imagenumber>,1"

The one at the end prevents the bad looking mip-mapping (so it stays pixel-perfect in game)

We can't lock WIP threads unless there's no work at all done on the game (no screenies). What looks like crap to one may be a masterpiece to another. This can be unfortunate or fortunate depending on your perspective. And I don't think any mod would feel right about locking a WIP thread from a member who is really trying to add to the community.

However if this turns out to be a fake, I will be very angry. Squid, you should post a screenie of your game in window mode so we can see the DBP icon in all its Windows glory --- might cool off some of your naysayers.

Little harsh megaton, yeah squid has a bad credit history on these forums...and that screenshot is rediculously easy to fake....but its more than he's shown before...and he has got rid of those crappy paint backgrounds !

Squid, i know this is unusual but would you mind emailing me your code and media for me to run....if i can see your really working on this i'll back you 100%...and dont worry theres nothing from your code or media i want to steal...i have enough to do in my own project. Im just interested in seeing the screenshot in motion...and sincerly hoping this project is real.
