MIA: TESTERS NEEDED....

foz · Sat 20/03/2004 23:47:45

Hi Ã,Â all..

Here a screen shot of a game me and jaz are now colaborating on.....
Jaz has taken on the task of doing the backgrounds and objects...as you can see these look excellent and i`m doing scripting and project management..

NEW ADDITION NIGHTVISION ADDED....

You will have 5 commandos which have been sent into enemy terroitory to assaninate various key leaders of the enemy forces....
As of yet i have the 5 soldiers walking ,shooting ,throwing grenades...
you can select which one you can control....i hope to put somekind of AI in so the none selected players will still fight the enemy...early stages..

UPDATEÃ,Â 27.01.05.....this is the new look to the game.
Sniper level

Also a shot of the turrets in action..

You're really good at making those action games in AGS, aren't you? You're a great artist, too!

That Cannon Fodder thing of yours looks pretty good, too. I know, collision detection is tough. Yesterday I made from scratch the base for a platform game in AGS. I got it working, though -- complete with crouching, walking, running, and jumping. All I use for collision detection is Hotspot 1, which defines barriers.

Right now I'm working on my MAGS game like crazy, though, so I'm not going to be working on anything else in a week.

Cheers Geoffkhan

Use regions for your detection as hotspots go abit out of sync.....

They did for me any how...

I`m making these games to so just how powerful AGS is and that your imagination is all that holds you back....

You could make almost any type of game as the script lanuage is quite versatile....

Laters fOz..

Ps i`d be interested in seing your game when you have it finished...(Don`t detract from making apprentice 2 though..).

Oh, AGS?
When I saw the screenshot, phrase "Game Maker" instantly flew through my head. But AGS?
Awesome.

They go "out of sync" because you have to use the GetViewportX and GetViewportY to compensate for the scrolling.

How's the flashbax prequel going? I was soooo excited about getting a cameo...........

foz · Wed 31/03/2004 15:29:37

Vel:
On hold.....due to me not being able to commit the time at moment....

Looks good, but platformer? Sure you dont mean RPG?

iF YOU READ THE FIRST FEW LINES PROPERLY IT SHOULD MAKE SENSE....

Evil · Wed 31/03/2004 21:24:57

Pardon my eyes. Anyway, it still looks good. :

Gfunkera · Thu 01/04/2004 00:23:47

So is this game gonna be like a primative RedAlert?? That would be great, I wonder if you could make one as technical as RedAlert C&C??? hhhmmmm.... :o

foz · Thu 01/04/2004 00:51:43

It`ll be like cannon fodder......the strategy parts would take alot of planning in order program it.........might be possible..

I`ll walk before i can run.....

hi foz,

looks VERY promising! I loved CF, it was one of my all time favourites.

if you want, check

http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=4;action=display;threadid=10947

but GFX you made look very good!

As for the other thing, I still keep it on my mind. It's going slowly up in my list of priorities again.

foz · Sat 03/04/2004 20:30:52

I`d just like to welcome JAZ on board this project.....hes doing the background art and some other bits and bobs....
as you can see this looks excellent.

I`ll keep you all posted on progress of this non adventure.....saying that it might be a shoot`em up with adventure elements.

Oh dang this looks so cool. What you need is some "Return from Castle Wolfenstein" WW2-style orchestral music.

Moox · Sun 04/04/2004 02:23:33

Thats brilliant, maybe you could add destructable bgrounds to give it an added kick

PeaceMan · Sun 04/04/2004 11:09:03

Great. Cannon Fodder is one of my favorite games.

Like the inclusion of energy bars. It was always a bastard when one of your men got picked off, just when you tried to grab that box of grenades without firing incase you hit it.

Are there going to be any vehicles?

Vel · Sun 04/04/2004 13:35:28

HmmmHmmHmmmmm.... Is that my name I can read on the first screenshot?

by the way, it looks really good.

jaz · Sun 04/04/2004 14:08:16

Your eyes serve you very Vel:-)

foz · Sun 04/04/2004 16:27:41

Peaceman:Yes we hope to include vehicles...

Jeeps..tanks ...helicopters......

Vel: yes your one of the soldiers.....I have i used forum members with short names like yours to be the soldiers...(sorry peaceman your not in there..)..
Everyone only gets one life though...so when your dead your dead...
