Yep Loirae, we're just having fun here waiting for the next tidbits from Patrick... :lol: Cutscenes 2 Would be good if they were available for a number of different situations - starting of a level - ending of a level - entering/exiting areas - picking up special items/opening chest (if available) -...

That sounds great :D . Just glad it's you & not me :wink: This thought may be in the realm of fantasy but I thought it might be worth posting.... Transportation 2 What if in lieu of other transport on a level (something I mentioned on page 1 - and I think others have mentioned it as well - rafts & t...

New Areas 03 This is probably stating the obvious Pat (& if it wasn't we'll be none the wiser :wink: ) but in catering for the New Areas idea should it go ahead there would really need to be the ability to specify where in the level you end up & allow for multiple entrances/exits within an area - i...

New Areas Visual Just a GIF for the entering new areas thing. It's a bit crude but the idea is there. One thing I forgot to add was a name for the area appearing briefly at the bottom then fading just after you enter/re-enter an area much in the same way that a level name does currently. Robbie :D

More on Bombs Just another doodle – bomb image. I had in mind a bit of variation in the bomb appearances depending on the strength of each bomb. * * * * * * Big Bomb – obviously oversized, big eyebrows in a frown with arms folded (I was thinking of some of those rather unfriendly blocks from the Ma...

Sound Suggestions 2 On page one I mentioned about being able to set music & sound effects on a tile by tile basis. Just thinking about that would give you a headache. Probably a better suggestion would be to allow custom music for an area as a whole - remembering the point made about being able to ...

Program Recommendations Hi Pat, I know it might be a little early in development & these may or may not be on the cards but just out of curiosity are there any programs you’d recommend (cheap :wink: ) for animated textures & animated models? I did come across www.blender3d.org which is free/open so...

Destructible Walls 2 & Power Boots Maybe similar to destructible floor tile you could have wall pieces that take a couple of hits to be destroyed… In addition to the notes I made on page 2 regarding the boots – particularly the David Beckham specials… Dave might not like you using his name :roll: –...

Destructible Walls Going along with the bomb theme, you could have wall sections that could be destroyed by bombs to reveal either items or secret passage ways - maybe allow for a variation in texture to indicate that there's something different about the wall. From a level creator perspective you ...

I agree 100% that there's plenty of levels that are pretty tough - some I just look at & think :shock: But at the same time I think that level complexity falls back on the level creators, not necessarily the program itself - a point proved by the fact that there are so many enjoyable & playable leve...

... Life Meter If the game takes on board some of the suggestions listed & in particular multiple areas within a level, would it make sense to incorporate some sort of life meter system? For regular size Wonderland type levels the one zap & it's game over scenario doesn't present too much of a probl...

Sorry, no sketches today... busy here as usual (end of the month accounts in front of me to do) - but hopefully plenty to think about in the notes following :D And as Patrick mentioned, these are just some personal thoughts. New Actions Kick I know what you're thinking... couldn't do any hitting, no...

#400!... now I'll have to change my sig... :roll: Just something fun to check out for the weekend! I came across this adventure/rpg game that's definitely worth the download. It's in Japanese (which is a bit of a bummer) so there's a little bit of trial and error. To get you started you'll need to c...

Hey guys, First of some concept doodles… can’t really call it concept art as that’s usually a little higher standard wise :roll: - coin gate (previously suggested) - ladders new! Coin/Token Gate I’m really impressed by the coin gate idea (thanks to the fun ideas crew! :D ). Maybe you could use a tok...

Pauline wrote As for monsters/combat, I'm not too sure about the idea of having to fight things, especially if it takes quick movements. Patrick said something about this game being played with a mouse rather than the keys, but most fighting games are played with a joypad and my joints just wouldn't...

Haven't got the times on hand but one way you could do it would be to set up a new level say 6 wide by 100 long & set up a long conveyor belt, strip of ice, your cannon, ufo, stinky - probably not all at the same time (or alternatively make it wider & put up a wall between each experiment). Just tim...

Hi Pat, I had in mind a hibrid of Ultima/Zelda/Final Fantasy(some nice animation) Here are my thoughts for better or worse. There really hasn’t been much in the way of serious discussion beyond extending the current features though I have to admit I really like the idea of a gate accessible only by ...

Sorry I'm a little late...

A big CONGRATULATIONS from Australia Katja!!!

So happy for you. How's Natascha enjoying her new sister? You know they'll be wanting a little brother next

Robbie

Not in the ideal sense Mette. It would be possible to give an appearance of 2 levels by having 2 separate models (depending on what it is - house, boat etc) & teleporters linking the two. ie the ground floor on the lower level would be on the y=0 plain, on the upper floor the model would be shifted ...

Just tried to make the Look Before you Leap level a 3D one Pat but movement is still limited to movement along the floor Would have been a bit of fun to go trampolining in 3D... next time

OK, that's it. I'm out of here.
Robbie

Haven't had a whole lot of time to explore yet (should be packing to leave right now!)... was tempted to cancel the trip... Love the trampolines, sticky cube, transporters & pushable cannons - fairly easy to get into. Need more time for the others. Love the potential & feel of the 3D - nice for sigh...

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all as well.

I'll be away till the 11th January - no internet access where I'm headed so see you all then.

Take care.

Robbie

While it seems most of the faithful have been enjoying the game, I've been racking my brain over a "memory access violation" all day. I ended up finding some new driver updates for my graphics card which took hours on snailband & made no difference at all. This probably won't be relavent for anyone ...

I know I'm just slow... how do you complete this?

Robbie

I should really eat more fruits... My sister-in-law who with her daughter is staying with us, prepares my lunch each day. I usually get some nice sandwiches, or left-overs from the night before's dinner (not as bad as left-overs might sound) and a piece of fruit which tends to adorn my desk througho...

Hi Janet,

Sorry I haven't replied lately. Your modelling work is awesome!
Are you building all these from scratch? AC3D or another proggy?
Keep it up, still have to check out all the other postings you've done.

Robbie

Maybe like coloured balls react to each other?...

Robbie

Be interesting to see exactly what the green cannon does (surely not just a paint job :roll: ) Love the possibilities that will come with variable(?) perspectives. I'm guessing again that you'll be able to switch between views during a game. Looking good so far... surely you can drop a few more over...

I'd hazzard a guess there off screen to the right... floating in mid-air?... they're not my custom animated textures are they

Most of the bridal party and guest at a wedding reception I attended were from musical societies, so it was fitting that the groom sang a romantic song to his bride, accompanying himself on the guitar. Handkerchiefs dabbed at moist eyes as many guests succumbed to the emotion of it all. Then, as the...
