rofl, thats a neat idea. It reminds me of when I played Luigi's Mansion on the gamecube. Go suck ghosts into a vacuum.
they follow you and are most dangerous at night, when all shadows are out you can steal others' shadows and combine it into your own i could do this all day
As for beta testing, I'll get into that LATER~ when there actually is some playable content. For catching, I like the idea of "Shadow Monsters" and capturing them with flashlights.
That's a very good idea, but not "Shadow Monsters." I think it would be hard to make this yourself and probably a long, long time before it's released... (not a game programmer or anything) but it seems like no one is going to come out with anything similar, I can't wait for it I know you are in the early stages but what are your ideas for the game? Like potions, money, night/day, other trainers to battle, how many monsters can we have (I would prefer two-three for an iphone version..) map-wise...
All the "little" features will be added little by little after its release. Like night/day. There will be "trainers" to battle and later on in one of the updates i'll add in wifi/peer to peer battling. I'm just working on the CORE of the game and since I cannot seem to get even 30FPS right now, I might, just might, make this 2d although I don't want to.
i can keep coming up with ideas if you answer one question: do you want to have -one shadow that is a living creature and somehow fights -multiple shadows that together make a reflection of the charachter but when it fights, it seperates into arms feet legs and other limbs i like the last one if u like it I have another idea: ex. if you are fighting a Tail creature, when you beat it, your shadow gets a tail and so do you
lol, interesting idea but i'd like this to be kept within range of pokemon. So, I need a title so I can start on the official project. Shadomon? Now that I think about it, if this WERE to be shadow monsters, i'll need night and day.
For the day time, the shadow monsters will be weak but can still fight to get HP points, while at night it gets stronger and maybe become something else (but only at night). Don't like Shadomon (kind of like pokemon= no way) Name for game: -Shadows of Light (?) with monsters in the game called "Shadow Monsters."
Here is a few game titles I've managed to generate: #1 Shadow Dwellers #2 Shadow Showdown #3 Kage Fighters (Kage means Shadow and is pronounced "Kah-geh") #4 Shadow Spirits and if you want to make it wicked Japanese: Shadow Spirits Ex Alpha #5 ShadowKi (Ki meaning spirit and is pronounced "key") Hope you like at least one of them (although I did pull it out of my butt )
Unfortunately "Shadows" doesn't cut it from a selling standpoint. A simple name like that could easily be overlooked. Having a name that gives an idea of the gameplay will catch more peoples' attention
Ooh whenever you start making the pokemon you should let us email you our own pokemon drawings and you can pick the best ones and put them in the game. That would be sweet. Like a make your own pokemon contest.
Well, managed to get an increase in framerate and Im going to start adding some new content. I'll start with the heros hometown and post a few pics later tonight. @crimson. Well, I barely have any ideas myself so that would help a bunch. I remember I sat for hours drawing up retarded stuff that I threw away anyways. I only kept 2.
I don't know that shadows would be a good idea because they have no color other than black and that would seriously limit your art style. Once you do get this closer to being ready I would be glad to beta test. Also if you decide to do a promo contest you could have people make up drawings of possible new monsters and the ones you decide to use would get the promo, that would help get more monsters. Edit: crimson beat me to it by one minute haha.
Also if you need assistance with storyline; I'm great when it comes to developing characters and plots. Just point me in the right direction and I can put together a synopsis
how about something with the word silhouette and i think that the shadow will have more color when they fight
