    So... what are you actually asking for in this competition then? If you've got people doing those things what else do you need?

    This contest is to get people excited about the game, for people to be creative and have fun, and maybe even boost sales once the gamecomes out. We're thinking about Xeno & Zero: The Unstoppable Duo! We are working hard every day to get this game out by next year!

    Yeah!

    Yeah, we wanted to start out with just one character, but Zero was so close to Xeno, it just sounded right. In the game, you will be able to switch in-between characters like in Super Mario Advance 2 or Donkey Kong Country 3! Keep the ideas coming guys! We're eating em' up!

    Xeno & Zero!

    Ricky doesn't have multiple playable characters! This is going to be a first for the iPhone! The game will be a combination of Ricky and Gomi! Maybe it should have been called Rickmi! Or Gocky! Nah, Xeno & Zero sounds a lot better!

    First screenshot l8tr 2day!

    I have sketches of the levels, characters, enemies, powerups, weapons, etc. I could run up a VERY rough draft on paint and post it here if you like. The final draft will not be taken right form paint, rest assured. lol

    ideas

    i know im a bit late and all so my ideas will kinda suck in comparison but here they are anyway!

    the boss' name could be lazarius. i thought that name would fit a rat and it's kinda menacing (i was going to suggest lazario as the main character's name lol)

    also the equivalent of a red and white mushroom from mario could be brown leather boots which would move along when it comes out of a brick (like in mario where the mushroom moves to the side when mario headbutts a brick)

    the equivalent of a fire flower could be a tool box/tool belt as i think xeno is going to throw hammers (yes i got this from demonskunk's pictures)

    also, i think zero sounds a bit too robotic and anyway, it's already been used in the Megaman franchise. i suggest Leno or perhaps Zeno (they could be twins or something like that!)

    Here's a screenshot!

    Here's a screenshot from Paint, just remember that THE ACTUAL GAME WILL NOT LOOK LIKE THIS! This is just a very rough draft! Well, here it is, and BTW, jak, those are okay ideas, but I can't really conside that an entry with you actually drawing anything. Draw something, and you'll automatically entered! Tell me what you guys think!

    Uhhhhhhh........

    I'm still thinking about if they should both have weapons at start, neither, or just one of them. Could you draw one with no hat and no sword, one with hat but no sword, one with sword and no hat, and one with hat and sword.

    Awesome.

    From the looks of Zero, as we're calling him for now unless things change, I bet you could make some pretty cool monster enemies for him to smash into pieces, or stomp into the ground....... ;) ;) ;) lol

    November teaser trailer!

    FYI, there will be a teaser trailer out in November for Xeno & Zero (again, might change the name, you guys got any ideas?), along with inside details about the game. ;)

    The first post's rules has been updated to better suit the thread, there was a lot of useless dribble in there before. Also, what prizes would you guys want to see given away in the next contest? And YES, there will be more contests. AND they will have better prizes.
