Yall may remember my old game, Attack of the Clobs. Well, I've started it up again. Totally re-written. I don't even know if it's going to end up being the same name. The gameplay now is not limited to 4 ways of movement. (see old wip if you dont udnerstand) Basically you are 4 different characters. Doomasaur, Raptob, Roxxor, and Girramel. Each have different powers that you must exploit to solve various puzzles. The powers are as follows:

Doomasaur:
Can walk through fire without dying
Can drive vehicles

Raptob:
Can jump higher than the others
Glides

Roxxor:
Can break rocks
Can move blocks
Collects clob-bombs

Girramel:
Gets points by staying inside the 'hill'

Hopefully the game will end up being fun and balanced. I've spent a lot of time thinking 'what would I like to play' but we'll see...

: What's done
: Working on
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Physics and collision
Switching characters finally works
Doomy can enter and exit ghost
Hill coding and scoring is done
Particles I'm finally somewhat happy with
Finished recording voices for characters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cinematics
Menu
HUD
Ghost slowing down before stopping
Blocks and clob-bomb system
Shadows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am having troubles with hud. If anyone can point me in a direction where I can learn I'd be grateful


Doomasaur, Roxxor, Girramel, and Raptob pose for the camera Note: Textures are only finished for Doomy and Girry.


Girramel making points in the hill. Hill Controlled!


Doomasaur next to his lightning paint job ghost. Yeah, like in halo Which by the way he can actually enter and exit


Just another view of the ghost...


Doomy chillaxin' in his ghost, blastin some tunez...


Raptob lookin' down on the action. Or lack thereof at this point


A zoomed out view of the entire level. I wish I coulda made the grass smaller...

Im guessing this is an attempt to see if Phil will lock the thread, and like I already pointed out Crazy, there's a good chance this will get locked since you havent developed enough trust/seniority around here for people to trust you'll finish it. So even if this does get locked, it doesnt prove anything.

Your signature has been erased by a mod because it's larger than 600x120...

Yeah I guess you can beta test it when it's ready I've got a lot of people testing it for me. I'm having tons of little problems that can be fixed easily, but it's just dumb programming Well, I didn't want to say anything quite yet, but this game is totally different from the old version. This one's not limited to left and right like a traditional platformer kind of like I was doing. You get to switch between characters kind of like dumbo and cool. I've got like 4 chars going right now. Doomasaur, Girramel, Raptob, and another I don't have a name for. I keep doing dumb things like typing one number wrong and it messes up a whole string of commands ect. But my testers and I are catching 'em. It's really fun because, not being a programmer, it's confusing but it seems my c++ class is helping me understand dbp a lot more and fixing problems is actually fun

Updated- Check out the first post

Note: I'd like to thank the OMMORPG for the trees and grass. Without them I would have never learned transparency and stuff.

Also Note: I know the ghost is copyrighted or whatever but I'm not selling this game. Just making it for fun so please nobody be anal about it.

WOAH! Looks amazing dude keep it up. Just the objects could use a little more lighting... They look a bit dark. Oh, and do you mind sharing how you did the fire? I simply love it and I am obsessed with fire lol.

P.S. Nice models!

As for looking like fire, it doesnt look real imo. It works for me though. If it were a realistic game, I dont know if this fire would fit in...



The image I used was just black, then added some fire-ish blob stuff.

As for the models being dark, I've always had that problem. Frankly I don't know how to fix it All the lights are really weird-ed up and everything turns white when I change the ambient level. So we'll see

yay

I usually set up integer variables for all of my objects, unless they're generated ingame or need to be looped through (like enemies). So for the player I usually have a Plr integer variable set to 2 (cause the world is 1). That way I don't have any problems with object numbers being wrong.

Nah I reckon I can tell ya It's kind of like in halo. You know how you have to control the hill? Well it's kind of like that and the hill moves. So all the time you're trying to solve puzzles and stuff you might hear 'the hill has been repositioned' and you gotta switch real quick to the giraffe and get him back in. It'll be hectic but I'm hoping it's more fun than difficult.

nice start crazy, the ground texture should be a lot smaller though, and roxxor should maybe be a bit bigger than the others. he doesn't look all that powerful atm lol.

And I completely agree about your ground texture needing to be scaled more.

Hey guys, sorry for the huge bump, but I've started working on this game again. What really put me off is the fact that I can't animate the models anymore because of weird exporting problems. But I finally decided to just finish it without having them walk and stuff. I don't like it but oh well. I've cleaned up a lot of the code last night and I've added a ui in the top left corner. Also, I've been working on a menu and stuff so hopefully I'll be able to finish this Here's a screen...

Lookin´ good anyway crazy.
You could put all of the creatures in small cars, then you would only have to animate the car wheels with a rotation command. Wierd idea, but it could be fun.

Hm... not bad ideas. Though I'd think it to be a bit strange for Doomasaur to drive his car or unicycle into the ghost But seriously that's not a bad idea...

you could make the unicycle a separate limb and when he gets into the ghost just hide it. Hmmm... or if i get milkshape for my birthday(in like two weeks) and i can get a handle on the animation system quick like than I might be able to help you if you'd like.

looks pretty dang good, great work. But, I have one solution for your big grass (If its a seperate object)

You can use 'Scale Object Texture'. If its not one pobject, you could always just scale it to half size, duplicate and adjust to make it smaller

Whatever works

Thanks for the offer but the models are already animated (except for the rock monster) but the only problem is exporting them straight from maya like I've always done. Whenever my maya 8 comes in. I paid for it already... i think (shipping problems and whatnot)

[EDIT] Hey, send me your email...

boxish indeed

Quote: "You can use 'Scale Object Texture'. If its not one pobject, you could always just scale it to half size, duplicate and adjust to make it smaller "


well, it's one big object but the texture is in photoshop. The thing is, I put the resolution to 1024 and when it gets streched that big it's blurry. I'm afraid to up the resolution because of load time and everything. I try to be very conservative when it comes to games. (completely opposite to my animations )

try .png for your texture and turn off mipmapping both of these will reduce your load times.
