Progress:
Story: 100% ;D
Graphics: 20%
Scripting: 10%
Sound: 0%
The numbers may seem low, but that's because I have many many plans for the final game. I'm currently concentrating on having a playable game with simple AI and controls, and I believe I am not far from that goal (pun not intended).

Mods? Snake? Scarab? If it's AGSers, I'd better be in there, than these NABS!
Oh, you're there, along with ~70 other AGSers (randomly selected each game).
I'd be up for some testing, I've always loved non-adventure AGS stuff. :D
I could test, but only if I get a cameo in the game! After all, am I not famous for being the annoying #AGS guy?! ;)

You have a cameo. You couldn't stop Ethan from scoring two goals against me! And my defense was like perfect. Gilbet, SSH, Garage, I mean gods!
Sent you guys a PM.
And for now I think I won't require more testers, things are going well :D

That's cause I got skills man. 8)
Okay ... let's stay on target here people!
Cool...
Is this still a MAGS entry?
[EDIT] Durrr. I just read the line that says there's going to be a tech demo for MAGS.

Which MAGS is that? The OROM? Or ProgZMax's idea ?
For the OROM, of course...
ProgZMax's is for next month, I can't start now... or am I mistaken? You probably know best :P
Heh, first thing I saw when I opened this thread was my character :D
Pleasantly surprised.
You got my hair colour wrong though :'(
Excited, looking forward to playing this.
Peace
Scarab
p.s. if you need another tester, don't desitate to call :-*
<-- (wants in :D )
<-- wants in too. Bearded sprite please :=
This looks a lot like sensible soccer, which I liked a lot. I'm excited how the gameplay "feels".
Good luck with it!
Thank you guys :)
You're all in, have no worries, the sprites are given randomly (no beards atm :-[ ).. if your hair color isn't right just restart (unless you're red headed, then no luck for you)!

Racist.
Everybody knows that Portuguese are normally appointed as WORLD CLASS players, with 3 number 1's Fifa Best Player (Eusébio, Figo, C.Ronaldo). Specially Nacho, he knows that very well. ;D
Well, what are you waiting for? Is my name on the list?
It is now ;)
If anyone else wants in (or out, that's fine too), you can pm me.

I'm not a racist, it is a well known fact that the red heads are children of the devil, it's even in wikipedia:

Can I pixel my own sprite? That would be terribly awesome :D
ha ha it could be modular so you can add players with their own sprites.. that would be rad.
Also a list with the cameo of AGS people would be nice.
The concept is cool, no question about it (my original idea was just to let you choose the facial features for your player)...
would be a bitch to program though (since there is currently no support for dynamic views afaik). I have some ideas on how to impement that, but definitely will not be a part of the tech demo...
A text file with a list of names is also possible..
I guess I'd have to be the referee :)
The concept of this is intriguing. I look forward to seeing it progress!

Well, you can get and set viewframes, so it shouldn't take you too long. You could create a dummy view, read and process the spritesheet and then paste it over the viewframes.
But yes - gameplay and AI might be somehow more important ;)
What the hell are M0ds and I doing?! We're in the middle of a game, for Christ sakes! Nothing like an ice-cold pint with some conversation on the football field, eh, m0dsie 'ol boy?
Heh, while on opposing teams, no less ;)
This looks fecking amazing. I can't wait to play this :=
Actually I've got a question. Will this be a multi player game? That would be really cool :D
Thank you guys :)
@Wyz: I'm working on it as we speak...
Sounds interesting.
Will watch... ;)
I need to play it just to find out if I'm in there. Also to find out whether I'm the football champion I always believed I could be.
You're carrying all my dreams on your shoulders now, tzachs.
HA! Those Ascovel and Dualnames couldn't pass a ball if their life dependent on it. What a bunch of paralytics, they're no match for my team.
Hehe, your techdemo is already pretty fun, though I definitely miss sliding tackles.
Maybe you could also grap a copy of Sensible Soccer to make the controls a little more snappy - but hey, for AGS it's already cool.
@Astauber: Glad you enjoyed it :)
I agree about the sliding tackles, it's in fact the only feature that was in my original plans for the tech demo and didn't make the cut, but it will definitely be in the final game (if there will be one ;)).
I also intend to improve the controls, sensible soccer was my major inspiration for the controls, although I haven't played it in years, so I did it from memory...
In fact, in the first beta there was only one button like the original swos, but I couldn't pull it off, so added the second button...
@Ascovel: Well, since I knew in advance that both Dualnames and Ascovel can't make a pass if their lives depended on it, I gave them matching abilities in the game. I Did it with other characters as well, for example, have you seen how fast c.leksutin runs on the field? First you see him, then you don't...
wait, there are two buttons?
Quote from: Calin Leafshade on Thu 06/05/2010 22:14:26

Yes, CTRL and SHIFT.
Also when I scored the game crashed. A message appeared saying this:

Unhandled Talent: Error 42: Dualnames
Hahaha, Duals!
Anyway, will this game feature cool special abilities or power-ups for each player? Like say I, for instance, can slither around on the ground at a high speed and and steal the ball with my long tongue while knocking opponents off their feet, Calin could freeze opponents with his beauty and Andail, let's say he's goalie, can talk the opponent down with philosophy? This idea could be great!
Heh, I have yet to play the demo but I will soon, I promise :=

Sounds great, I kill opponents by talking to them about HHGTG! Yay!
What, you mean something like this?

Probably not...
I think you should have player specific taunts.

Best Answer. EVER! :D
Hey tzachs, great that you´re doing a football game. By now it´s quite fun for a tech demo. Just one thing: I think the game would have a more natural ... vintage feeling in low-res .... but this may also be because most of the sports games I played were on the NES (btw: I´d demand fouls like in Nintendo World Cup).
Thanks doc, I will probably disappoint you though, since I'm not gonna go low-res with this...
Also I won't go with Nintendo World Cup fouls. I wanted to meet the middle grounds between an arcade and a simulator, making these kind of fouls will push it too much towards the arcade, not the direction I want to take this game to...
Shurely true ... I remember winning games back then with me being the only player on the field and the rest lying around.
And for the resolution thing ... I´ll certainly play this even if it´s in high-res.

@DrWhite
That's why he's going to implement everything I suggested above ;)
Humpetty Bump!
Hey, TZ, I just wanted to let you know I've finally played the tech demo and I am AMAZED at the work you've done already! It is really fun. Great job on the controls and programming the ball so it flies into the air and bounces and does all kinds of cool stuff. I can't wait to see the ball rolling!
Also, will you implement an option to WATCH a game? I selected Footballer and I didn't have to do anything but protect the goal, which was pretty fun, but having an option to watch a game pan out on it's own would be awesome, especially if you get to choose who is on what team.
Great job, man, this is going to be quite the game when it gets finished - I can't wait for it :)
Also, I can't reemember who mentioned it, but having online support to play other AGSers for real would be "the balls"!

he he, me too... I'm currently waiting for the ball to animate itself, should be any day now...

Already implemented! Go to "Set Players" and move P1 to the middle (under no team). Start the game and watch away!
To be honest, I didn't test this feature too much, but it should work...

Without revealing too much too soon, let's just say that it's in my to-do list at a high priority...

I think my special power should be to ban opponents completely, forcing them to leave the match
I was about to suggest online support myself, having not seen that someone(?) already did.
Wonky, I read through again and I believe it was Wyz that I was refering to. It was when he said
multiplayer that I took it as
online play.
Quote from: AndailI think my special power should be to ban opponents completely, forcing them to leave the match
And that's when the crowd roars and it is randomized whether or not some crazed fans rush onto the field moments before C.Leks swoops down from the sky and snatches them away.

Ha, cool. I had seen that when I first played but after a while forgotten about it. Pretty fun to watch! It would make a great screensaver as well.
I've got an error for you that happened during two of the games I watched.
It is the same error messege that happened when the ball was kicked at a high speed, also very high in the air, and flew off the screen:
ACI version 3.12.1074
in "FootballerControl.asc", line 2426
from "FootballerControl.asc", line 4541
Error: GUI.X: co-ordinates specified are out of range.I hope this helps!

Thanks for the detailed bug report, there's now a new version with a fix (in the first post).
Edit: And an even newer version with another fix, thanks to Snake again :)
Finally played the demo. KILLER AWESOME. It feels just like playing the real game, except I never need to stop for breath and lemonade! Also this crazy kid called discordance is always grabbing the ball and running off on these crazy breakaways and then not noticing that he lost it twenty steps back. Just like in real life.
