A diver on a tropical island spend he free time exploring a reef and finding interesting fish:
Ecco the Dolphin meet Tanakas Friendly Adventure, with maybe a splash of animal crossing when she isn't diving.

Look into Engage to Jabberwock by Platine Dispositif. The site has been down for a while but the game is has plenty of hits on google.

It's Zelda more than an RPG but still worth disecting.

And on the mention of Armada as well, arena shooters more than pure shmups is probably the way to go. It lets you have a world map and dungeons with out trying to torture the genre conventions too much.

There you go. I was probably going to make the controls re-definable in the options menu. Though I am lazy and half assed so if you are working on one i'll just let you do it.

So as a fan of sumo I was excited by this but it seems to have never happened. So I made one myself.

I don't have sprites for the rikishi yet so go to options and click lofi, otherwise the dohyo graphic kinda makes the rikishi invisible.

but:
Left hand player: I/K for up down W/S to shoot.
Right hand player 8/5 for up down Up/Down to shoot.

Ballin'
A turnbased game of 1v1 basketball with network and hotseat multiplayer

Ballin' V0.2 Now with networked multiplayer.

The big feature is multiplayer, thanks to FinalSin whose code I raided to figure out how to use LUBE. This version also contains some transitional animations and some tweaks to the ball behavior.

Ballin' V0.1
Linux uses will need their own copy of LÖVE.

This is a game play complete beta. Networking isn't/may never be implemented but the game otherwise does everything I was planning on.

right now it doesn't really have a theme beyond basketball, I'm basically terrible at graphics&music so unless so kind soul would like to contribute some its going to continue with it's current theme of "bland".

*oops old link had a bad version
you'll need love, it's written for 0.7, don't know if it will work on earlier versions.

draw by holding the mouse

So right now it needs:
-Real graphics/sound
-Proper collision detection so that it's possible to score
-A better UI, with a score board
-Networking, bugger if I know how to do that though

.love (requires LÖVE)
OSX
Windows

Ballin' is a game of turn based basketball, players take turns drawing freeform paths which are then followed simultaneously. The accuracy of shooting is based on distance to the hoop and opponent. THe strategy is to shake the defense and drive to the hoop.

Hot seat and networked multiplayer is supported.

Okay so I decided to make cross between Bangai-O and Drill Milky Punch.
Right now I just have the movement finished but I wanted to see how people feel about the movement speed/ gravity. Does it feel to floaty, not floaty enough?

here it is with basic enemy interaction:
http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1288817131
use arrows + z to punch, x jumps

If that opening sentence sounds promising I could totally use an artist too.

so I've been fiddling around with this for the last couple days, since somebody suggested minigames as a compo idea:
http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1288220605
I'm thinking of adding a 4th level where you defend a train from bandits.
I dunno, does any body have any fun with it so far, and if so any suggestions for more stage-things?
note you have to ride the bull for 10 seconds to advance.


*Note: there is no Super CattlePuncher Extreme 1.

I really liked the high scores in project gotham because they were tangential to the actual goal. It felt more like the game was recognizing the fact that I was way more awesome than called for. As opposed to say any other racing game in the world where it doesn't matter if you limp across the finish line half broken .0001 second in front of the next guy or blaze in a minute ahead after a perfect run.

Just a note, the boom on your sail is way too long. The center of effort would be way too far back in the boat as drawn. Should either be shortened up a bit or the mast moved forward.

I know it sounds kind of pedantic but to anybody that sails or sees a lot of sail boats, the current layout looks... off.

Hey if I posted a link here to the graphics editor would people be willing to test it?  I have no idea how reliable it will be in the outside world.  It would be so so helpful I would love you.

Yeah sure.

more specifically I just regexed

Code:

' [A-Za-z]* [c|C]ompo'

so it sucked up "to compo" which I then deleted before posting on the ground that it didn't look like an actual suggestion.

really I should have done

Code:

' [^ \t\r\n\v\f]* [^ \t\r\n\v\f]* [C|c]omp[e|o]'

to match things like from:to, X X compo and X X competition. But that would have required entirely more curating after the fact and still wouldn't have been comprehensive, but like hell I'm going to go through 1750 posts by hand.

So just some quick data munging cause I was bored, this is a list of every use of the phrase X compo (with some obvious things like "a compo" and "the compo" removed) in the last 117 pages.

It's apparently irrelevant now but for the inevitable future drama I recommend http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1327 it is (or was, it's a couple years old) a mod to limit a single user's posts per pay.

It's less extreme than banning but in the case of people like Bvan, where it's the troll/user is already hanging out mostly in a couple threads, a per day limit of say 10, won't stop them from responding (though when they do it'll be giant wall o text) but it gives the rest of the users some breathing room to have the actual discussion.

There is no such thing as too many linux compatible cross platform game libraries.

But I thought you said that the real world had Nth-order gameplay (and by that, do you mean arbitrarily high order or infinite order or something else?).

clearly he means Avagadro's number. Reality is 6.0221415× 10²³th order.
