This is something little that I've been working on for... a while. I figure that having a devlog might motivate me to finish it within a reasonable timeframe.



You are a man (Worm? Tube sock? Who knows...) who has just crash landed in the TERRIBLE WHITENESS. Maybe you'll escape. Maybe you'll become a hero. Maybe you'll find love. Who knows? (Not me, that's for sure.) It's a short 2D platformer.

Stay tuned to WKAR BOOD_WAR for all you need to know.

Nice graphical style.

You are a man (Worm? Tube sock? Who knows...) who has just crash landed in the TERRIBLE WHITENESS.

Is your world going to become increasingly more filled-in/colored as you progress?  And what is chasing you?  It looks like a cool robotic battle axe ^_^

I think that's the ship he crash landed in.

[Bood_war]

@tesselode: Thanks!

@Supershigi: I don't think so. It's more of the fact that the planet (?) that he crashed on is dull and bland.And that's his crashed ship. (Giant robotic battle axe... I just might have to add that!)

Anyways, still working on some basic stuff, so not much to report.

[Inko]

Hah, my first thought was like some kind of huge super robot breaking through the ground, and this is his freaking arm. But yea, crashed ship makes sense too

[mokesmoe]

Looks good so far!

(I thought it looked like some death worm thing jumping out of the ground at you.)

[Alec S.]

Ooh, looks nice.  Looking forward to seeing more.

[Bood_war]

Early, but I like it.

Also, programming bosses is hard.

Look out, green thing with cool looking robotic grabby arm!  There's a gnarly axe machine that spews out monochromatic rainbows coming for you!

Translation: Looks spiffy.  Good luck with your boss AI.

[PsySal]

Great style on this!

It's a gun, not a grabby arm.

OH: and game looks great!

[PsySal]

Wicked spaceship!

[Dom2D]

Awesome style, really! If there was such a thing as a dancing smiley, I'd put one here to motivate you to work on this until it's done!

[Sir Raptor]

I'm getting a huge Cactus vibe from that spaceship.
AND I LOVE IT.

[PleasingFungus]

I'm getting a huge Cactus vibe from that spaceship

? ? ?

Yes, I know what you meant (and I agree; I am just very easily amused

[Bood_war]

Thanks everyone! You make it so much easier for me to sit down and work on this. <3



I should probably explain more what this game is about, but I'm tired. Expect it tomorrow.

[FishyBoy]

I AM INTRIGUED

This is looking pretty interesting! Looking forward to seeing what it's all about.

[Bood_war]

Er, by tomorrow I meant two weeks.

I feel it will be easier to tell what I want the game to be.

I want it to be short
I want a playthrough to be 30-45 minutes (so I don't have to mess with saving)

I want it to be ridiculous
Think 'Chain-gun propelled sled'.

I want it to be funny
Guy: I'm gonna fuck you!
Groktar: Up?
Guy: What?
Groktar: I'm going to fuck you up, is generally the term.
Guy: Eh, sure, sure.

I want it to be random
Like, the first segment will be random, and how you act then influences the next section, which will be randomly chosen from a few, etc. so there is a storyline that makes sense. (Also, when you play a section, it will be 'checked off' so to speak, so the next time you play you won't get the same segments.)

I want it to have a style of its own
What I've shown you thus far may have a bit of a cactus influence, but I hope it to end up more of a unique style.

That is all.
