I thought it was you who implicitly supported my quest to make Monty Python into a meme here. 

And I think the lumberjack should, as a bonus (or even as a powered up mode), wear womens' clothes.  It would make a lot of sense, really.

Yes, I'm a monty python-fan 

I just dont know about copyrights and stuff.
....same lyrics, other music!?!

I think the secret with copyrights is to not actually break them but to "bootleg" them as we did in our previous compo.  If done right, it would be an obvious reference to the song without actually breaking copyright.  And I guess I just hope that the Pythons have better things to do than sue indie game developers.  I suppose it depends on whether or not the game would be free, too.

EDIT: and I guess I'm such a big Python fan because that British sense of humour is one of the few strong links I've got to my English heritage (life-long Canadian, 100% UK roots).

I was actually thinking of putting an instrumental version as an achievement prize (You ruined the surprise, goddammit  ). On each level, there'll be a piece of clothing belonging to your "best girl". You find all of it, you get a bonus. Don't know what kind, yet.

About the copyrights; I'm not making any money out of the game, not even donations, so I doubt they would mind (I doubt more that they'd find out). I'll probably bootleg it anyways.

There will be boomsticks. I'm thinking of a few weapons to pick up. Don't expect a big arsenal, though.

As for TIMBER! and caber toss; great ideas. Might implement them as a power mode.

I've always had a soft spot for the german rendition (

). The lederhoesen make it all the more hilarious.

[Gainsworthy]

Can he put on said clothing as a bonus?

Also, I rather enjoyed that German version! "I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my Uncle Valter."

How about a bonus game mode where Jack puts on his best girl's clothes and does arena survival in a bar?

DO IT ... :D ...

Must be done, the sheer manliness is too much to bear! 

And I think unlockable mini-games fit perfectly with action platformers.  Mega Man Zero 3 is one of the best in it's series because you can unlock mini-games by fulfilling some crazy requirements (like win the game with a score %100; yes, the game ranks you).  Unlike some of the other Zero games, I actually wanted to try and achieve these crazy goals, because I think mini-games are more desirable than, say, better armor for more playthroughs.  And bonus levels are OK, but I find them to be quite anti-climactic, whereas mini-games aren't.

Don't forget the bears! Oh, and a log-rolling bossfight.

[Renton]

Bosses will include:

• Angus "the Scottish rival lumberjack" McGregor
• Bulldozer
• A bear

[Valter]

Renton, I don't think there's anything you could do to live up to the expectations you're setting right now. :D

If you do manage to implement caber-tossing into a lumberjack bear-'em-up game, though, I will cry tears of joy.

[Renton]

It won't be a beat'em up. You will be able to go hand-to-hand; but there will be guns.
As for caber tossing, I'm thinking a power-mode. It's like Bonesaw, only with Jack shouting "TIMBEEEER!"

[undertech]

Surely you'll make room for the environmentalists in your game? No lumberjack can avoid the confrontations with the tree huggers in this day and age.

[Renton]

Maybe eco-terrorists.

will smithy get a cameo?

Co-op!

[Renton]

I don't know Smithy well enough to depict him in a game.

[Renton]

This. I know it's not much, but it's the exams season and I hardly have time to work on this. Will post more as I progress.
