A CLASSIC PLATFORM ADVENTURE

Inspired by classic platform games such as Crash Bandicoot, Rayman, Croc and Spyro, I am working on concepts for a large open world co-op platform game, ASCENT, in which two stranded heroes, Bluu and Blip, must ascend a gigantic tree to escape an alien world.

Encountering a ruthless species known as the Aphids, along with the aggressive wildlife of this mysterious planet, this makes for a dangerous and lengthy journey.

Thoughts and feedback on the visuals, story and characters is much appreciated!

Thanks,

Deano_27

Thoughts?

Don't start multiple threads on the same subject, and this isn't AGS or adventure related, so it doesn't belong on this forum. (Moved)

'This forum is for general topics that aren't AGS or adventure game-related'

'You can post about anything'

Where would you suggest posting this then? If there are no places on the forums could my account just be removed?

[Snarky]

This isn't where you originally posted it; you put it in "Adventure-related talk & chat." I moved it here because this is the best fit for it.

But yes, this is a community devoted to AGS and adventure games (the Sierra/LucasArts type, not the platform type), so if your game has nothing to do with any of that (and you don't have any interest in it), and you don't have any prior ties to the community, this might not be the right place for you.

[Deano_27]

It was posted in 'AGS Games in Production' and I've asked for this to be removed, can this be done?

Also this appears to be stirring a hornets' nest, and that wasn't my intentions, so the easiest option would be to have these threads removed and my account terminated,

How would I go about this?

[Snarky]

We don't typically do that, unless there's some pressing reason. Locked posts just drop down the boards as other topics are posted, and this one doesn't even need to be locked: maybe someone will be interested and respond. The thread is now in compliance with forum rules, so there shouldn't be any more problems.

Similarly, if you want out of here you can just stop posting, no need to terminate your account. While it's possible for moderators to delete accounts, it leaves all the posts you've made in a sort of strange state, so we prefer not to. Again, unless there's some compelling argument.

[Deano_27]

Fair enough,

Yeah lots of people have been showing interest so far! Hopefully it keeps up

Deano_27 - I like the look of this and will feature it on my indie game news site when I get time.  Could you PM me some details such as estimated release date, whether you're planning a Kickstarter, etc.

Your concepts look great but I would really have liked to see some gameplay (I appreciate that you may not be quite that far along yet).  The only Crash game I remember playing is Clash of the Titans on the Wii a few years back, but it was a lot of fun.  (Unfortunately I have not been able to play the vids with the sound on yet so can't comment on music etc (if there is any at this stage!)

I like the main character design too.  Seems like it will be a face capable of showing a lot of expression!

Hi CaptainD,

Wow! Wasn't expecting this sort of response!

I'll PM you the details over,

Thanks!
