So... we just finished implementing one idea that you guys suggested above Screenshots coming soon...
*crossesfingers* Please say my idea! Also, is there a freeze gun in the game? If not, there has to be!
Looks pretty good, will be watching this one. Are the levels like minigore in that they have no point other then high score or do you have different levels to progress through? Sorry if this has been said.
Natty - Anytime! So - naturally, credits are OK, and I will be contacting y'all about the royalties, the butler, the limo, etc.... Are you still looking for more ideas, or are you pretty set, seems like people enjoy coming up with wacky things for Max to do.. Screen shot looks great BTW. I'm excited to see this coming along!
sounds great! good luck!! some thoughts: - needs more characters? - maybe a highly advanced AI robot type character or what not? - perhaps a friendly alien? - basically a character who guides max along, a character who runs a shop ect - perhaps a pet dog too? - or another kid, maybe even multiple kids? - don't want Max to be all alone in this adventure... right? weapons: - alien weaponry & gadgets - so you can play off all kinds of effects like freeze, fire, poison, slow time, levitate enemies, repel & attract enemies ect -different spreads, damage speed ect - also you can incorporate some weapons/gadgets into puzzles a la portal - i wouldn't mind it being a "loot" game either... although power ups would be easier i know Max is just a kid so "skills" might not be ideal in this context... a la melee, rolls, spins ect, besides i haven't seen many DSSes implement skills so it must not be that easy. all of the points you mentioned are great, but there's one feature that would really set Max Adventure apart from all of the other similar DSS shooters. Although it sounds like Max Adventure will be more of a DSS adventure game my two cents!! im still interested in beta testing! if you need some fresh testers let me know!!
Will Max get a monster transformation when he collects a certain amount of objects(Minigore) or kill a certain amount of enemies?(Pirate's Treasure)
Started working on the soundtrack today! Don't really, er, have anything yet, but the point is that I started If anyone has any particular ideas on what you think this game should sound like, I'd love to hear it. Any ideas are always welcome. And we'll have our butler Jeeves drive over your royalties in the gold-plated limo. We're all out of gold bricks at the moment, so I assume you'll accept diamonds? They don't run away, but they won't walk through the stream of water. So it's like another obstacle you can position between yourself and the aliens. Did you say freeze gun? I think I heard freeze gun. Hmmmm.... Haven't done something like that yet. Would be cool though. Thanks!
hahaha yes a freeze gun for sure!! Or better yet... a chill gun a frosty gun a super mega ultra freeze gun multiple variations perhaps?
Ooh that is really cool. I was thinking something more serious/spooky/atmospheric, to contrast with the goofy graphics. Maybe I'll try a couple variations and see what works best. Nice ideas! We do have a freeze gun now, and it's awesome. Thanks! Don't worry, be happy. <wishing I could whistle>
