I'm interested in helping, once I've got my game a bit further on which won't be long at all now.. Would also be up for sharing the coding with someone else/amongst a group of coders. Nice concept it has to be said, and backed up by some very, very nice game assets so far. How about a Damien Hurst/The Cell style cow section display case:   |

Great work on the animation Joseph! Very smooth and full of energy! Is this done in flash? If so im glad that your animation looks complete and doesnt look like alot of flash animations that come off looking lazy by just rotating limbs, etc.

Maybe you need to find an animator or illustrator to help you out with that? Great work on the animation Joseph! Very smooth and full of energy! Is this done in flash?

Thanks I'm really trying to make some high quality animation! And yeah its all animated in flash so there is a bit of symbol animation I just try my best to hide it hehe. BTW the new coder put together a new WIP engine. Killgore can walk around and punch and thats about it haha! |

Maybe you need to find an animator or illustrator to help you out with that? Actually, game development was a second choice to 3D animation. But animation depends on a story, and a story needs interesting, believable characters...  Characters are based on people you know right? Well I don't really know anyone - no amount of going out drinking with people has fixed that yet - I'm , it's been said I've got the personality of a robot, and so do all my characters. |: |

Yeah all of my characters are based on people I know or have seen or read about but also they exhibit some of my own personal characteristics. Sometimes I'm not even aware that they are behaving similar to me until someone else points it out  Killgore for instance started out as a Rambo parody, but I've been adding and subtracting stuff to make him his own bull. Anyways Yesfish I suppose animation might not be your thing! The most talented animators tend to be a bit eccentric and unstable lol. Personally I try to go nuts when I animate :D |

We've got a basic movement engine and some background graphics. I think the next step is building up the combat engine and throwing in some baddies.
Right now me and the programmer are disagreeing on how to implement the machine gun.
I think the machine gun should be a secondary attack, you should be allowed to use the gun anytime. Of course there should be limitations: It takes 2 frames to draw the gun and 4 frames to put it away, you can't move while shooting, and you have to reload the gun after 20 or 30 shots, AND the reload animation lasts for 10 frames (BTW the game is currently running at 24 fps). My reasoning is that the gun is part of his character and it would be kick ass to use it in combos. Uppercut someone into the air, start blasting them Devil May Cry style! No holding back!
The programmer wants the machine gun to be limited to a power-up. He wants the machine gun scattered around the stages and once you pick it up there is a timer or ammo limit or something. His reasoning is he wants a quick "KICK SOME ASS" mode. If we hold back on the machine gun, it'll just make it that much more awesome when you do actually get to use it.
Were both pretty passionate about it so I can't see how were going to resolve this. Hopefully the issue will resolve itself!

I have to disagree with both of you there, the machine gun should be the limited special attack - when you need to take down a lot of enemies, or save it for that really hard boss.
But you gotta put it at the end of some combos! Not called on by the player, but automatically. Streets of rage/golden axe only had one attack button but the players always did something interesting.
Wakka-wakka-chuk-chuk-THUD "AAAHHHHH!"

hmmm I'd be happy with that even! BUT I'd be happier if you were allowed to use projectile attacks at your own discretion. My big influence on this is Capcom's Aliens vs Predator arcade game. There was an attack button, jump button, and a shoot button. If you press shoot+standard attack you get a Get Out of Jail card where they are temporarily invincible and take out almost everything on screen. Also Devil May Cry is inspiration for blending melee with gunplay. Why not go balls out and give the player freedom to choose when he/she wants to use the gun? You can keep enemies at bay with projectiles and then close the distance and bash them with melee attacks! Or launch them into the air and float them with bullets! Or do some crazy aerial attacks and then gore them with your horns! The possibilities would be endless! |

It depends a lot on the rest of the gameplay. The infinite bullets thing only worked in Devil May Cry because the guns were really secondary and you could make potentially endless combos.
If you have a more traditional Final Fight-like gameplay, with more limited combos and movement it might be better to have the machinegun as the Get Out of Jail card and you could collect magazines laying around or something.
