:( Title: Re: Star Box Post by: reetva on May 14, 2008, 11:28:27 AM I consider them to be word play, not puns. I bet that a lot of people will consider them puns, though. Well, at least the game should be fun! Right? ... Anyone?
Title: Re: Star Box Post by: ___ on May 14, 2008, 12:56:24 PM Can't let you do that, Star Box!
Title: Re: Star Box Post by: Corpus on May 14, 2008, 02:03:03 PM The difference between "word play" and "pun" is here so negligible as to be irrelevant.
The malaria mechanic sounds intriguing. Title: Re: Star Box Post by: reetva on May 14, 2008, 04:55:27 PM The difference between "word play" and "pun" is here so negligible as to be irrelevant. The malaria mechanic sounds intriguing. Y'know, when I look at the name again, I think that it is, in fact a pun. I suppose that word play thing was a pretty stupid, too. PS: Sorry to disappoint, but Malaria is a planet, not a game mechanic. ;) EDIT: Oh, and I forgot to mention that the game is coming along swimmingly. :) Title: Re: Star Box Post by: FishyBoy on May 14, 2008, 05:35:09 PM d. Barrel Rolls Hooray! Loved those games, so I'm looking forward to this.Title: Re: Star Box Post by: William Broom on May 15, 2008, 12:43:54 AM This looks like it will be great fun. I'm not a huge Starfox fan though so I'm not really sure if Malaria is a parody of something from Starfox?
Title: Re: Star Box Post by: Annabelle Kennedy on May 15, 2008, 01:38:23 AM The first planet in starfox was Corneria.
it rhymes with Malaria. im looking forward to this, as i love rail shooters. Title: Re: Star Box Post by: Corpus on May 15, 2008, 03:32:50 AM Yeah, I love Starfox. Starwing has been gathering dust on my shelf since my SNES died :'(
Title: Re: Star Box Post by: Baltirow on May 15, 2008, 05:28:12 AM Fun idea, loved the original Starwing (Starfox wasn't allowed as name in Europe because Atari beat the chase by 10 years). Will their be non-subdivided cuboid bosses as well?
Planet name suggestion: Denim (instead of Venom) Pic of original map (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:StarFox_Map.jpg) Title: Re: Star Box Post by: BenH on May 15, 2008, 05:37:53 AM I've always wanted to make a starfox game, make me proud!
Title: Re: Star Box Post by: alphasmart on May 16, 2008, 04:44:05 AM I thought corneria was in Final Fantasy 1... (http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=010412)
anyway I'm intrigued, though not much to go on at the moment. Title: Re: Star Box Post by: Hideous on May 16, 2008, 07:35:58 AM Oh wow, that explains why it was named Lylat Wars on N64...
Title: Re: Star Box Post by: Metroid48 on May 16, 2008, 07:21:49 PM No Skippy-esque characters, right? Right!?
Looks interesting. It'd be good to see any screens/concepts, though, to get a sense of the style. |
