the Lady Boy

Must do.

[superflat]

It's looking wrong in a really right way.  Looks fun too.

[moi]

I have the feeling that our troll will love this game

[increpare]

Did a tileset anyway, and the password screens.  The main things that're nagging me now are the following (and any suggestions would be appreciated):

1: any interesting way for lady million to appear on-screen at the start of a level

2: how should she die? I don't want to rip off the megaman-style death with big-ass balls shooting out in all directions.

[UltraJMan]

Teleporting in should just be a portal shaped oddly like a vagina.

Dying she should explode into balls of tits.... yes you heard me correctly.

There is no other way.

I like the portal idea.  It may not be especially vagina-shaped, but there's a good chance there'll be a portal involved

As for the ball of tits...I quite like the idea of her turning into a flock of birds or something when she dies; that would be rather poetic, and possibly quite effective on-screen...  I might just have her flicker away as well, though....

[Robotacon]

It started off good but now I don't know. When you've said tits and vagina for the 100th time at age 9 it's not that much fun anymore.

I thought we tried to create strong nonsexual female antagonists.

I thought we tried to create strong nonsexual female antagonists.

FWIW, I have no trouble whatsoever with sexualizing my leads should I feel the fancy to do so.  I've tried to avoid sexual objectifying LM in this game though.  But, you might have a point (I'm thinking about the intro text here).  I'm going to consider revising some small bits here and there.

If you have any other particular suggestions you'd like to make, I'd be interested in hearing them.

(edit: goals for today: to add interface sound effects)

[increpare]

Update: added lots of sound effects today (essentially all bar one).  Might have to do some volume balancing on some, which isn't the nicest of prospects, but whatever.  Also added some basic encryption to the password entry system, and worked a little bit on trying to improve some of the background music.

My menus are beginning to feel unsatisfyingly sparse (in addition to the layout issues). 



('hooker' is just a placeholder...)

I don't want to make them too elaborate (well...part of me does, but I'm ignoring that part for now), but it just doesn't feel interesting to navigate them at the moment; they have sounds, and basic responsiveness animations, so...graphics must be what's missing?

I guess I should stop adding new things to my list and work on what I actually said originally I should do next (namely: more platform/enemy/obstacle types).


EDIT:
Made some moderately flashy in-game animated things, added in a level-description format that I'll be able to work with.  Blah blah blah.  Still no conveyor platforms, still no rising spikes, still have 3/5 bosses without animation or things to do. 


To do:
firing bullets
implement basic sound effects
helmet dudes
damage animation
health bar
new game title
multiple bullets
transition to boss-screen (the barrier, screen-scroll, &c)
*bullets array
robust killentity function (will take care of bullets/&c)
kill all entities when meet boss
bullets hit bad guys
bad guys damage animation
bullets deflect off bad guys
bullets kill bad guys
shootable/regenerating platform
bitmap font display
bitmap number display
bosses
do weapon graphics/icons

code in weapon differences
conveyer platform
rising block platform/rising spike platform/or rising lava?
falling spikes
platforms that, when hit, fall and can do damage
have some music done by now
pause screen
pause screen w/ weapon select
rehash the boss selection screen
killing bosses grants use of new weapon
(with screen saying this)
intro
title screen for 1d megaman game
password entry
death
death animation
enter level animation
boss destruction animation
password display after death
password encryption
implement lots more sound effects
design the levels
outro
     game select screen
     very buggy/quickly executed biocosm ripoff
     game 3, also quickly executed
     sick panda game, also also quickly executed

Started playing about with level-design, and having level-specific enemies, such as the following birdies (who can be quite annoying indeed  :D ).



(they're perched on the window-sills; the thing he's standing on is meant to be a cloud...it's awaiting redesign...).

Hey, 4-in-1 doesn't sound like a great name for the compilation. Maybe if it was Lady Million and Friends, or 1D Collection: Feat. Lady Million? Lady Million Box! Million Games?

The games aren't all 1D though (though I guess that wouldn't matter too much, given its bootleg nature).  Hmm.  I think the real game title will take some thought. 

[UltraJMan]

What about the Lady Boy Love Collection? If you have time, you could mock up some text for the back of the mock Lady Boy box such as "Featuring 1D superb platformer Lady Million, heart break sadness simulator Sick Panda" etc.

[William Broom]

Lady Boy Love Collection = win

[muku]

Lady Boy Love Collection = win

Quoted for truth.

[increpare]

Okay.  I like that title as well...

[Terry]

I actually thought 4 in 1 was a pun on the fact that you're making all four games in 1D - my mistake Anyway, I think "Lady Boy Love Collection" is a pretty good title.

Yeah, you have a pretty weird sense for wordplays dude

[increpare]

So.  Got two of the bosses done today (that leaves two left to go, which shouldn't take too long). All bosses done; finally!  Edit: weapon graphics also done.
