-

This is a small tech demo. It has just only one playable character, one stage, 5 lives and 1 credit, no enemies to fight with, no exiting the stage, and no attacks to command, but just jumping over from platform to another. It's nothing entertaining to play with, but it's just for testing. The main purpose for releasing this tech demo is getting feedback. Feedback is always welcome.
The engine build I'm using is 3357 on this mod.
EDIT: I apologize, you guys, for not posting the attachment up. I forgot to attach it after I posted. And then I started to modify it for attaching it. After I attached it, I saved but then my connection went slow. So I couldn't post it ('cause I left to work). Just got home to attach the mod, so I can go back to work. Here it is.
-
Looks very promising, love the art style. I'd love to play a demo to see how the mechanics work.
-
Gabotico, you can, Maxman now attached the file.
Maxman, this project looks interesting, surely will take a look!

I have played the demo and it's good start for platformers game. I don't have any feedback ATM rather I'd like to ask what kind of enemies you are going to have?
-
thanx for downloading our small tech demo :) about the enemies we will have all sorts of platformer enemies flying ,walking even crawling loool
inshallah ill try to put atleast one type of enemies in the next tech demo :)
i already have one in mind
ill try my best to bring the classic platform games feel in this mod
-
tried the little demo, it looks very good, liked the cute char!!
however, the engine crashed everytime when, jumping and moving forward, I kept pressing the jump button (no error message on log file). This while using OpenBoR v3.0 Build 3469, it'sa bit outdated, should try again with latest build tough...
a small detail, on the attached pic, on the "rock" sprites, there's some ittle "holes" and even a small greeen pixel. It's not a important detail, but just wanted to let you know in case you missed it. also, there's an area where I marked with "??" where there's no rock area si it gives the impression that the character is in a floating area. I was wondering if that it's done in purpose or not.
as I said, are not big deal, but as I would like to see more on the project, just wanted to mention it
I wonder what kind of attacks or moves is JJ going to have.
hope to try another demo soon!!! keep working on this!!
-
thanx for trying the demo :)
as for the demo issues
we accidentally combined a jump+forward into and attack button
when this button is pressed the character will jump forward automatically this cause the demo to crash on both pc and psp
so please go to the option screen and change the controls :)
and use only the jump button :P
and as for the stage well i made it in a hurry it might not make the cut in the full game and those floating platforms are on purpose cuz there supposed to be water in this stage but i still dont know how to apply it :P
and as for jj attacks he is gonna be a melee char close range type :) and there are 2 other characters will join the adventure who play differently and help jj out
-
DUDE!! I tried that demo. i love the SD artwork, the animation is great and the character is just charming, I know it was just a tech demo, but the gameplay felt very natural, I'd love to see it in action with enemies and stuff. 4 Real, really cool stuff...
-
thanx bro for trying the demo :)
im glad you like it
glad u liked jj he will not disappointing you the next time ull play as him
in the 2nd tech demo which will be more fun :)
and will have few more elements to boost the gameplay
stay tuned !!!

Thanks for the demo, bWWd. Just played it and I'm gonna take a practice on making a script on the jump. Also, I'll be doing the double jump too. The walk/run motion is what I was looking for to get.
-
yes bWWd thanx for the demo its nice :)
good thing u checked it maxman :)
-
well its been a while
im here to let you know that this project is still alive
;)
and i have this idea that i hope that all of you will like
im thinking about making boss and enemy design competition
:cheers!:
more on that soon
-
Enemy design competition? Sounds interesting, good to know you're still working on this...
-
Not only is taskmaster working on the game, but he helps putting his music to it and he gives me reference of characters for me to sprite on. I sprite a lot more in this project. I'm the one doing both spriting and coding. We give ideas out. So there hasn't been any enemies to sprite on until the enemy design is ready.
-
me and maxman are a good team , and yes we are working on this :)
-
Wow maxman, I didn't know you did the sprites, great job man!!! and yes, you do make a great team!!! Can't wait for the next demo with enemies and stuff!
-
I only did the character JJ to be honest. But I didn't sprite the stages. I code, man. ;)
-
Oh! Still dude!!
-
im thinking about making boss and enemy design competition
Competition in what aspect?
graphic or AI?
-
mainly graphic :)
-
I post this just to let you know I will be posting enemy design competition topics. I will be discussing on two different types of enemies which are: ground and flying. As I was writing up on this post, I had a thought about making one topic first regarding the enemy competition for those types. I will explain about the topic(s) I will make and have some details of it for the participants. Sorry if I'm not clear in posting.
-
Something crossed my mind, how exactly the character attack the enemy?
Or before that, what is his purpose?
Really, that will define gameplay which thus define level and enemies in this mod.
Is he beating enemies just to get to end of each level? or he only need to get there without any need to kill enemies?
There are games in which character can't kill enemies at all, that's why I asked.
Now, if he can kill enemies, how exactly he does it? by stomping (Mario style), by shooting or by beating?
The answer is very important cause the enemies and bosses will be based on that ability
-
well some enemies might block your way so u have to kill them
the characters will beat and shoot the enemies :)
-
Thanks for the answer(s), dude. :) I was discussing about the enemy competition topic(s) I'm planning to post up.
-
your welcome man its just i wanted , to make it clear and simple :)
-
You haven't answered this question yet:
Is he beating enemies just to get to end of each level? or he only need to get there without any need to kill enemies?
1st option means killing enemies is necessity and he must get them all before he can advance to next level
2nd option means he can skip enemies or kill them, as long he reached the end of level.
-
he dont need to kill enemies to finish he needs to reach the end and as i said before
well some enemies might block your way so u have to kill them :)

I would need help from those who have their PSP about the music volume. My partner, taskmaster, reported to me that the music volume is too low in the mod. I don't have a PSP though. I would want to know how to have a volume high or normal instead of being low. Is there a way to adjust a volume in PSP? It must be an Openbor issue not a music issue.

Is it only 1 music is too low or multiple? U can adjust the volume in sony vegas & render it again.

I got the answer about the enemy competition for winning. It's about the enemy that will fit the concept of this project. If you see an enemy sprite that you think will fit, you can vote. Otherwise, me and taskmaster will pick which monster will make it to the top 5 of each group.
This is gonna be way too early for me to announce a little about this competition. Here is the reference size for an enemy's height. You see the bottom blue line and the green and red lines there in the pic. From the bottom blue line up all the way to the green line is measured as 43 pixels high (in length) while measuring to red is 42 pixels. I don't know how much size but taskmaster says that the enemy should have the size of it. But I don't know. I feel like the enemies are kinda (too) smaller. Reference for example and also probably the monster would have the face of the skull like the ref here.
