My Turn. Alright I feel left out. I've known the theme (subconsciously) since 36 hours before the theme was released, and was there when stormy announced it. Thing is, I haven't started a thread because I didn't want to start without a pic of some sort... for you guys. So here you go.

Before the competition, I spent the day with my 2 year old nephew, and had Dr. Suess on my mind. I drew this...
Photobucket
Someone was trying to tell me something.

Decided that I am going to do a mash up. Ocean and Dr. Seuss. No I am not going to steal his ideas, but I am going to steal his thoughts (not the word I was looking for). In all of his stories, he made it fun for kids to learn and read. Every story had a moral. So my games will to from now on.

My moral for this game: Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

Yes, this is also a hint towards the gameplay. I think I am going to take Photics approach to game logs for the first few days. I can't have everyone feeding off of my AMAZING thoughts.. hah

BTW.. guys this competition is mine.
It ends on my birthday (July 9th)
I drew the theme before its announcement
What elese? Oh ya.. hah My girlfriends name is Oceana. Not kidding.

    I started the pseudo code, and well. I didn't realize this game was going to take so many rules and constrains. Can't wait for my iPhone that should be in the mail tomorrow for testing.

    I am also working on a rough draft for the story. Thinking of doing a game/book for it. Hah

    Seem like you were destined to do this contest XD

    This sketch looks stylish, I'm curious to see how this game turns out.

    When words can't describe it....


    I just got my iPhone!!!!!! AGHHHHH !!!

    I'm ready to smash some code out.
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    Alright Sorry I haven't been posting lately. I've been incredibly busy. My brother and I are working on starting our own foundation.

    But, I WILL finish this thing! I promise, or at least I will post what I have. I havent touched my story line since I last posted. But here is some work I did last night once I got home from the pool.

    I colored it this morning on Photoshop.

    What you think?

    Alright here is my first video update. posted some art yesterday for you guys.

    -------------VIDEO-------------

    -----------------------------------

    Just some basic movement. On the computer keys will be left / right / up and space for shoot.
    On the iPod and iPhone accelerometer / jump button / shoot button

    I'm going to make I platforms jump through I think.
  • CircleTimeCircleTime Member Posts: 84
    Your background is very fun and imaginative, I am looking forward to exploring it in your game.
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    hah thanks. At first I thought you were talking about my black background in the video... But then I remembered I posted some art.

    I still thinking about how to do it with my platforms.
    I was thinking of doing it on a coral shelf. Kind of like in nemo just before he was taken. But I don't know yet. (and I kind of don't really know how to draw it hah)

    "At first I thought you were talking about my black background in the video." LOL! ...I love your original sketches.

    Thanks guys. Finished the jump through platforms last night. Uploading video to you tube, right now. Hopefully when I get home tonight from work I will be able to work on the enemy coding a bit. I hope to post some more art too.
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    Alrighty the jump through video is ready. I tried for a long time to do this "right" but, I don't know what I was thinking. Then I remember TSB's vid on jump through (I hope tutorials are not "not allowed" in the competition hah).

    --------------VIDEO------------------

    Here is the math I used to detect the collide.

    self.Position.Y + (self.Size.Height /2) + 25
    self.Position.X - (self.Size.Width /2) - 16
    self.Position.X + (self.Size.Width /2) + 16
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    Alrighty, did some work on the art and gameplay today at work during lunch. I think I've found my art style for the game really liking it.

    <img src="http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g442/Mordini-Arts/GameSalad/blackNwhite.jpg" />

    And then I took a picture on my iPhone and colored it un with Layers. LOVE that app.

    <img src="http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g442/Mordini-Arts/GameSalad/colored.jpg" />

    I was thinking of how to give my some real playability, and re-playability. For me, I LOVE games where the user has to level up and upgrade (like RPG's I guess). And since my game is more a endless type I had to think what to do. I decided to go with my own advice and make a upgrade system.

    Upgrades:
    -Lives
    -Shot Rate
    -Bubble Speed
    -Move Speed
    -Jump Height
    -Bubble Life

    What do you think?
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    Why won't images show?

    Below is the code (that is working above) from yesterday of the black and white photo of seaweed and backgrond. Help?

  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    Alright well I can't give you guys any pictures, for now until the image things fixed. I just realized today is the first, and I only have 7 days left before I have to submit. Leaving the 8th for my birthday on the 9th. This is going to be a interesting week.

    A lot to do... and no time to do it. It sucks having to pay all the bills. Hah, I want daddy back.

    Anyway here are some Progress Vids.

    ----------------------Enemies----------------------------

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    ----------------------Parallax----------------------------

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    Let me know what you think. Its coming together, but a LONG way away.
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    First set of tweaks for the game.
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    Menu... I not too happy with it, but time is really starting to dwindle away, and I still have mountains of bills I need to make money for hah.



    Hopefully, I will start working on some artwork, so we can really see some progress in the game... I Still dont really know what I want to use for the platforms.
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    Have the upgrade system working. A few little kinks left (but then again they are everywhere). Decided to save the little things for last. Time is running out fast. Thank the gods for holiday weekends.

    Coding is pretty much done. Now just art / sounds / and a title.... oh boy.
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    OH MY! I AM RACING TO THE FINISH LINE.
    I don't know how polished the art and sound will be. So much to do, so little time. AND I still have work, growing up sucks, hah. I never knew how mad the electric bill was... (I live in AZ 116 degrees the other day).

    Heres a vid, for a quick update on some art. Still no idea for the main character, platforms, or game name.



    Also, my thread seems to be a little bare. Can I have some comments. Criticism is welcome.
  • CircleTimeCircleTime Member Posts: 84
    So fun! I was waiting for you to put your background in. Very Seuss. Love it!
  • old_kipperold_kipper Member Posts: 1,420
    I'm looking forward to see this on saturday afternoon. Its a bit difficult to get a sense of the whole yet, but it's looking like a game. Love the bandaid on the menu and look forward to more of similar nature throughout. Good luck and keep those candles burning booth ends (or perhaps you are more organised than I am and am getting some sleep and don't need to...)

  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    COMMENTS !! YAY! hah, I guess the key to comments are the art. Shucks should of done that earlier.

    As far as sleep goes, I'm afraid I do not know the meaning.
    7:50 wake up / 8:30-4:00 work at a desk drafting / 4:30-6:30 commissioned work / cook & eat dinner / 7:30-10:30 commissioned work / shower / 11:00-2:30 TOTB3

    Its fun, but that Pro Membership is quite persuasive. I'll try to get some more art down for you guys to see and comment on, and so that I can finish the game.

    looks great. cant wait to see finished product
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    Alright. Heading home early. Hopefully, we can get some work done. Hope to post a vid for you guys too.
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    Aww... time is getting to me, hah.

    Added achievements today.
    The art really isn't popping out for me, and It doesn't seem consistant. Almost done. Just sounds and a few more images. Wish there was time to redo the art. All well looks like I'll have to win with what I have.

    Tonight is a early one, but one quick question. Anyone want to donate a pretty copy of AE?
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    Looks like what ever I can cram into the next 4-5 hours will be my submission. Its a shame I couldn't win with a better build... HAH

    No really though, best of luck to all. If a pro wins, can I have it? :D

    Michael

    EDIT: Needless to say be on the lookout for a video within a few hours or so, and hopefully it will be up on arcade.
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    Alright a bit of a change for the competition, it is not a iphone game, but rather a arcade game. I love the controls on computer, but accelerometer is giving me issues (too hard hah)

    OH MAN !! I Still need sound, hah.
  • outasiteoutasite Member Posts: 417
    I Am done!!! Just have to make a video now.

    Hope you guys enjoy. Also hope to post it to Arcade for some gameplay
