Snail N Turtle

In Progress My new mods/ 3 demos download in 1st post 0.5

No permission to download
The project is currently under development.
its the most beautiful game ever made for openbor, and since i know your gameplay style and it mached with my personal taste im sure it will have a great replay value

any plans to try to transform it into a comercial product?
 
:o omg that game looks too good for words you are a amazing artist and this mod is one im very looking forward to keep up the great work
 
I dont know, you can see from the beginning of this thread that i changed everything a couple of times, development of this isnt too stable, i constantly find some new inspirations and im adding stuff + removing stuff that i spent many hours to do.Previous version with bear, rabbit and old stages had like 10 stages, half of them complete but i scrapped it.
It doesnt mean that all older stuff is thrown out, i just keep it for other project, i started drawing stages the old way because i really didnt thought i could draw something better but i tried and something came out, i spent some time reading tutorials, tried to do stage with rocks, sometimes failed and some stuff was ok, i dont want to give promises or give out plans just to prove later that i failed, i started it cause i wanted to try something new, we will see how its gonna be.
When using more layers game is more heavy on cpu, even my 2ghz dualcore is dropping frames when using more than 4-5 layers and if its with alpha then even with 3 isnt as smooth as with only bg and panel so i have to make android version without all fog effects like this

Looks great!

TBH adding eyes makes it less real since eyes don't cast light. But if adding eyes is meant to emphasize cartoony feature, it might work.
 
I made menu pic and title but im not sure if im gonna like it when i wake up.

I also did skating stage,
I gave it some thought yesterday cause i get that question why im doing all this and what im gonna do when i finish when i show some people my drawings for game or screenshots, so maybe i will try to release it, even as a demo on android market, im not sure if license is compatible but android port is great and its popular platform for mobile gaming, maybe we will get more people interested with engine, who knows what will happen.There arent copyriught issues with what im doing but i dont know how it looks like inside of the engine, i remember there was some talk ni one thread about using openbor to release commercial product but there was no definitive answer, i think SX didnt confirmed.
 
If you want to give some "limbo" feeling, then don't keep the eyes. As BB said, keep the eyes if you wish a more cartoony feel to it.

About the engine, I thin it was all settled up, as Street Team is a commercial OBor game (the only one may I suppose?) so you should not have any problem.

What happened with the Teddy and the robot? Your latest screenshots only shows the turtle. (amazing screen though!!)
 
Im a bit worried about having teddy with uzi in a kiddie platformer so im not sure, enemies do have wapons but not players, turtle only throws apples.
I know in the past they tried that with conker on n64 and it didnt really sell well but game has cult status and its great but maybe it was too inappropriate for n64 audience where most games were like pokemon,mario or bomberman.
Maybe if ill modify him, so hes without uzi, cause game looks like platformer for kids, so i dont want outraged parents to scream why theres blood and killing cops with uzi in game for kids.Even if not many people would download the game, it is not the game id like to put all that creepy characters in.I have some more designs for characters.

But i tend to go into these creepy chars with stitches.
Limbo was very different from what im doing now cause you died vetry often just to figure out how to pass the game, it wasnt really possible to beat the game on 1 life playing it for 1st time.Look of the game already told that its not a game for kids so it was ok.
Like i wrote before i have a couple ideas for mod, but i dont want to throw in al ideas into one game, that would be waste of potential i think and game would be very random, so i need to keep creepy mood or kiddie platformer mood, that limbno like stage is just experiment with light and colors, i would of done it differently a bit if i would aim for complete game with such look and would make character + everything onscreen with alpha transparency.
 
Wow this game looks amazing, I personally don't think you should have any guns in a children's game,  if it was a funny looking gun that can fire bumble bee or shoots spider webs or a water gun, but not bullets, I have much appreciation for you artist capabilities bWWd, great work.
 
oh so in the end it will be Kids aimed. In that case yes the Teddy with the blood will not fit.

a stationery enemy could be a "closed" flower, when it open, the flower release a bee (which could be a projectile or a standard enemy).
even more original, another enemy or character could carry a basket with water, appear on-screen, drop the water in the floor, and from that wet floor it start to grow the "closed" flower.

Maybe also a Bee hive spawning bees.

I don't know, just throwing random ideas  :P
 
So now it'll be a kids game? Neat! It sounds like you're already thinking of ways to market this.  ;D

If this ever becomes a commercial product bwwd, I'll be among the first to buy it!

yea, ill probably rerender enemies again with some bubble guns or something ;D thanks

Good to think to kids, so they can enjoy the game too without too scarry or bloody things.
But why not releasing the kid version and an alternate "director's cut" version for adults (I mean with blood and more violent sound fx than bubble "blop") ::)
 
I will keep that other chars for another game, id like to start from kids friendly platformer.
About the anims and growing gflowers, its kinda problematic cause when igive my charcter apples to throw then he kills everythin onstage easily since theres no Z , he cant really miss, maybe ill make him throw apples like bombs... so there would be chance to miss the target
 
this fantastic love the graphics the way the gameplay looks the anime is superb looks like something you would buy off the ps3 store or xbox live store keep it up man.
 
I never thought of this as being a kids game but more on the lines of "Happy Tree Friends" But i guess i was wrong :-\. I don't know of many platformers that are not violent, even Sonic and Mario are bullies. Mario Stomps the $#!+ out of turtles while trying to save a princess from being raped by a dinosaur. but i guess we all see things differently in the world. don't let your hard work go to waste, just find another way to work it in..... with no Vaseline.   
 
In mario you never thought that hes killing someone, he just jumps and characters fall offscreen, there is no rape case as well, you dont know why princess was kidnapped, bowser wants to take her kingdom, its not even hinted that its about princess and sex.
In mario characters dont die, theres no blood, they fall ofscreen when hit but i had teddy bear with uzi shooting cops not some imaginary creatures like in mario, that is not for kids because not all peoples minds are the same and some games distort their perspective on real world, i know cause it happened to me after playing GTAIV, when i went outside it felt different.You or I can say games have no effect on your and mine real life but we are not entire population, just 2 people.
