Good evening.
For no reason other than some sort of Geek vanity..
I thought I'd post my details as I work on my new game idea. the wife is away for 2 days/2 nights and instead of sitting in front of the tv. I'm gonna attempt to design a new game idea, do the graphics, work out the GS maths problems and get the game submitted by 6pm Wednesday GMT.
Also need to do a full days work on tuesday and wednesday.
Oh and watch 'the Walking dead' episode 2. (See if I can design characters and watch at the same time).
Game idea currently in early stages of design, it involves a lift (elevator).
Got beer in the fridge and pizza in the oven.
Will post pics as and when they are ready...
(anyone else care to join in a 47 hour game project?)

Very rough sketchy drawings done of
Main menu,
Intro sequence,
and main visual for the game.
Time to fire up Photoshop...
Edit:... ooh maybe some blood splatter would be a nice touch....
Current front runner 'Lift Jumper'
Basic concept.
To be done with sketchy (coolish) graphics.
Your man gets in a lift (elevator)
Camera pans up, user swipes to slice the cables.
Camera pans back down as you see the lift box fall down. (with cables dangling behind)
Cut to your man in falling box. with other lift passengers screaming.
To the right you can see a metre showing how far the lift has got to fall before impact.
As it nears the bottom the metre flickers and disappears.
When your ready.
you press the screen, and make your man tuck ready to jump,
release and he jumps.
If you time it right, he jumps as the lift smashes into the ground. Other lift riders go splat, your man lands and survives the crash (and defies true physics a little bit).
a few levels to beat, each one represents different global tall buildings. Ending with the tallest building in Dubai.
Game names and extra ideas welcome.
What do you think?
name ideas continued...
how about Shaft!
i could give my main character an afro that could bounce when you jump, so you'd have a little nod to the film/series Shaft.. and link to elevator shaft...
done lots of drawings... scanning in now.
Game is possibly bigger than I first intended, but we'll see how far I get by wednesday evening.
Hindered slightly by the volume of wine... and have moved to the lounge to watch 'SuperBad' love this film.
- As I'm getting more excited about this game idea, otherways to make it bigger and better have crept in, and if I can stay enthusiastic enough I want to do the graphics really nicely and go out and get some photos for textures.
- Second reason - I've been invited out for beer tonight... and since the wife and baby are away it would be rude to say no.
- I'll how much I can get done and post the results...
Reading back through this thread, it sounds like I have a drinking problem. It's honestly one of those rare moments of free time and no baby to look after. So I've got that dilemma of do I get drunk, make a GS game, or get some really good sleep. Yesterday I pretty much achieved all three, tonight, I'll do the drunk bit first and see if the other two happen whilst I'm drunk.
