well I made a 320 by 240 image added a noise filter to it and drew some very sharp white lines vertically. when I imported it into gamemaker I set it as an alpha for a brown screen. Next i stretched it by like 20 and just have it whizzing by the screen. also I added a vignette to help with that old timey feel.



JR Hill: i havent really thought of a name yet. I am thinking something like "Professor Herbert T. _________" or "Professor Phineas T. _________" I have been trying to think os a last name. I want something fancy that probably translates into something fun.

NoiseFever: I say go for it.

I'm glad that you have no problem with it. thank you! anyway, it will be a bit different...

[JasonPickering]

so what exactly is it?

[Noisefever]

for now, it's only an idea in my head. my goal is more like: collect items (like fuel) and make it to the goal (instead of how far can you go). i also focus on map design with tight passages and prickles. and i want the balloon speed under the control of the player.

but, as said: for now that is only an idea...

well haven't updated in a while. been working on this and lots of other things too. making a sub exploration game too. but thats a very different story. for this I am just working on lots and lots of ideas for this. need more obstacles so far I have stationary clouds, clouds that move up and down, trees of 2 different heights, and also I am working on factories that spit out black smoke to dodge. i'm wondering if I should make the game go in to different areas like fields where the obstacles are trees, clouds, maybe farms. and towns where its clouds, but also factories and stuff. and then maybe ocean but that seems like its getting complicated. and this is just going to be a nice quick game.

also I am making this in game-maker but some people have been asking me about maybe iPod. I would like to but i don't think I can take that major financial plunge for that.
