Another thing: a lot of indie games are shumps, which wouldn't fit really well into a fighting game. This would be a great way to include them.
Also, I like the idea of the summons being .exe files. :D
It'd be awesome if there was an attack that just called all the shmup ships onto the screen at once, in a big swarm.  Now I want to do a mockup...  That would be a great "super" attack, maybe for the Clean Asia guy (since he's from a shump already). |

Everyone does, from the sound of it :D I haven't quite got that first prototype ready yet, but it shouldn't take me too much longer. |

C++ and Allegro. T'will be open source when it's ready to be - if we go ahead with the story mode version, I'll need an army of programmers to help me with the different game states, heh.

I should have a selection screen mockup ready today, in glorious 320x240 resolution, cause we all know indies love their pixels. :3
EDIT: Got caught up on other stuff so I might not be finished today. But soon.

Working on that mockup. In my mind it's a bit more elaborate than it probably should be, but I'll be done eventually. Mostly cause it's all original art. o.o; Plus, life's been a bit hectic as of late.

Hey Melly, offopic but could you help with my game's art? At least take a look at my topic in the art and design forum.

 Some guy named Oracle dropped that off in the IRC room. I hate you Oracle, for drawing better than me. :D Though, the Anti-aliasing could use some work. |

real art looks like the mona lisa or a halo poster and is about being old or having your wife die and sometimes the level goes in reverse

omfg awesome. Death Worm probably wouldn't really work as anything other than a helper-type item though.

I love it! This redrawn style is definitely the way we should go. |

This redrawn style is definitely the way we should go. i couldnt disagree more. the whoel thing would be so much more interesting if the characters kept their original style. it would make for a much richer looking game. it would clash, in a very good way. That's currently the way I'm approaching it, though the whole thing's very generalised at the moment so it won't be a big deal to change things like tile size, sprite size and physics particulars. I think both approaches will work, but that a beautifully redrawn version of all the characters would be more interesting and make it easier to reimagine the characters and settings so as to balance the game better. However, sticking with the original sprites would make "story modes" easier... I dunno. However, I do know that this approach is already proving to be a problem. Cave Story is 640x480 with 32x32 tiles and sprites, for example, but A Game With a Kitty is 320x200 with 20x20 tiles and sprites - and it's kinda hard to reconcile the two without one of them looking funny. Better just to redraw everything into one cohesive style... Or not. Actually, I haven't a clue. Thankfully it's too early to have to make a decision one way or the other yet. |
