Oh hey, Hamster! This guy entered the Gothic RPG contest over at RPGDX with the most interesting idea in the competition. Small world, I guess :D

Unfortunately, I can't run the demo on this computer (I, too, am missing MSVCR70d.dll ), but I'll try it on my home computer later on and let you know what I think. Good luck!

RPGDX was the last programming compo I entered. I usualy hang about http://allegro.cc chatting in their forums and waiting for the next speed hack. Oddly enough RPGDX's Lillith's Enticement and this Compo were both mentioned in the allegro.cc news page and I felt obligated to enter.

Dude, your game only contains a building and a big toad but it already feels really visually detailed and awesome. And it definitely looks better than the more recent 3-D Rampage games!

The screenies look great. I remember being like 5 and playing Rampage on a friends SEGA (we didn't have a TV). I thought it was plain and simply the best thing that could exist - EVER.

This one looks sweet! still thinkin' real hard trying to come up with an idea myself..

[Wilson Saunders]

Another Update. This time I have all the toad's animation and B/W drawing done. I still have to work out color scheme and color it in. Hmm something nice and radio active. Anyway here is a new screen shot.


As usual the download is at:

I included two DLL's and tested it on my friend's computer. It worked there after I included the seccond DLL. If any one could tell me the project settings for VC++ 2003 to not require MSVCR70d.dll I would apreciate it.

You've set MSVC++ to link against the debug runtime library.

If you're using the default build settings, or close to, you're going to want to switch your build configuration from Debug to Release (both of these configurations should be created for your project by default, and Debug will be selected by default). You can also just go into your project properties and change the Runtime Library from Multi-threaded debug DLL to Multi-threaded DLL.

You might want to consider switching your program to Release mode, anyway, because it will enable code optimizations and other handy things which will make your executable smaller and faster. If you've added custom settings to your Debug configuration (like additional libraries to link against, etc.) you may need to add those into your Release configuration as well.

The finalised toad looks pretty damn good. 

I still have to work out color scheme and color it in. Hmm something nice and radio active.

Wait, I know!  How about... green?   

[handCraftedRadio]

The toad animation looks incredible! Very nice work! Can't wait to see more of the gameplay!

[Wilson Saunders]

Wait, I know!  How about... green?   

There are many shades of green. Also I want to put other colors in there to contrast the green and give it an un-natural glow.

[Madgarden]

Purple! With luminous, sickly fluorescent green warts.

I have been working too hard to do much posting. After this weekend's code-athon I have something to show. The program now has 5 defender types, a Toadzilla health and sanity bar and a basic AI for the defenders. Also player 2 can deploy defenders with the mouse while the player 1 destroys the city. Controlls are specified in the readme file. The Download is still at:

I may add sound and other things before the Compo ends. However game play wise I am pretty much done.

[handCraftedRadio]

This is awesome! I love smacking those people and sending them high into the air! :D

[rapidwingo]

That frog animation is phenominal, and I can't get over all the different and unrelated styles of graphics are all combined. Awesome game.

Toadzilla now has sound effects and a full screen mode. Download here:
