Hi Ã, 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, 27.01.05.....this is the new look to the game.
Sniper level

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...........
Vel:
On hold.....due to me not being able to commit the time at moment....
....changing nappies the adventure i am playing...
I`ve been tinkering with a couple of non adventures...
Looks good, but platformer? Sure you dont mean RPG?

iF YOU READ THE FIRST FEW LINES PROPERLY IT SHOULD MAKE SENSE....
Pardon my eyes. Anyway, it still looks good. ::)
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
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.
jaz
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.
(http://www.agsforums.com/hostimg/MIA5.jpg)
I`ll keep you all posted on progress of this non adventure.....saying that it might be a shoot`em up with adventure elements.
fOz
Oh dang this looks so cool. What you need is some "Return from Castle Wolfenstein" WW2-style orchestral music.
Thats brilliant, maybe you could add destructable bgrounds to give it an added kick
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?
HmmmHmmHmmmmm.... Is that my name I can read on the first screenshot?
by the way, it looks really good.
Your eyes serve you very Vel:-)
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...
Hmm hmm I'm really curious to see what this one will look like ;)
Looking great so far. Can't wait to pilot the heli huh.
Looks great!

Latest Interface....rockets added...and grenades all working....
A first enemy up and running.....literally
DROOOL
Must play as soon as possible.
looks great f0z, love the art Jaz
cant wait
-OSC
The game just gets cooler and cooler. This'll get my vote at the end of the year!
As for GFX, this is still just very early stage and will be improved (hopefully)
FAINTS FROM THOUGHT THAT THOSE GRAPHICS COULD GET BETTER.
Jaz good avatar........
Put some nice SFX in the basic engine now......
The main theme music in OGG...is in and it sounds great......not sure if a midi version will be released.....
Music is about 1.5 mb...is that okay?
I think so.
Me and jaz are to release a teaser demo......
Very soon...
Stand by your bunks....
TEASER!!!!! DEMO!!!!!! YEH!!!!!!!!
f0z, release the damn thing, ok?
-OSC
OSC:ref: "f0z, release the damn thing, ok?"...
Me and jaz are interested in producing a quality game.....takes alittle time for that.....
Sorry......I would rather release it when its all complete with all the features we intend than do a rush release......
Theres going to be lots of stuff in this game :-
eg ...stealth levels....adventure type levels.....and out right shoot em up carnage levels....
Myself and jaz have put lots of work in over the last week and intend to present a great game...
You would`nt want BigBro and geoffkhan to rush apprentice 2 out would you.......
Teaser coming with in a week.......after that who knows...
I think you`ll agree when its released it was worth the wait.....I hope anyhow....
This is a fairly recently announced game anyways. It's amazing how much work you've been able to do so far. The screenshots keep getting better and better. My only comment is that I think it'd be cooler for the objects on the map (like the health thing) be smaller. But it really doesn't matter. :)
Geoffkhan they are work in progress.....we have since put the proper graphics in place...
Oh awesome! I didn't realize they were just placer art! Silly me.
hey f0z, i didnt mean to be evil. I was just trying to give you a bit of encouragment to finish the demo.
sorry mate
-OSC
OSC:-
I was`nt annoyed at you......the post i posted was just to say.....hey the game will be done soon.......if me and jaz keep up the same enthuasiam...then it`ll be sooner rather than later......
The level design is just starting .....which is a good sign.....as most of the control engine is working fine..
Laters.......
WAR !! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR.
Absolutely nothing!
edit: except this game
Remixor: looks like your the only one who understood what i meant...
WHEN TWO TRIBES GO TO WAR.....
Just good for the undertakeeeeeer!!!! ;D
I stop now....as this is turning in to name that tune......
Waaaaar is oooverr and a........Happy new year...
Thats it can`t fink of no more.
On with the game making.
I would like to welcome geoffkhan in to our team.....he`s doing some music for the game...
Very good it is too..
Do you need a tester???
LT:Not yet.......I`ll add you to my list.....
If this isn't going to be the coolest action game made with AGS, then I don't know what is...well...if this isn't...than DS3.. :P
Man, I've been away for a while and decided to check the forums and this is a huge awesome suprise. I never noticed this thread before...vLaRgH!1!
I'm currently fiddling around with a sort of action game. Have you ever played that paper war game where you fold a piece of paper in half and you and a friend draw your territory on your halfs? How you shoot is pretty cool, without actually measuring, only using your eyes, you draw a round bullet on your half, fold the paper over, trace over it, unfold, and see where it hit. It's pretty fun. I'm trying to make a video game version of it with AGS (since I'm sick of LE at the moment :P). I'm working on the 2 player verion right now since I've run into a sort of...block. I thought a 2 player version would be a piece of cake, but everything you do with player 1, you've got to do it again with player 2... :-\ There's a lot of copying and pasting ;)
Anyway, would you be able to help me with a quick thing? Just PM me. That would be great, since the 1 player one would be a lot cooler.
Good luck with MIA!

This one is looks excellent, can't wait to get around playing it! And if you ever need betatesters, I'm here, ready to test it for you.
Mine and jaz`s hard work today brings this...
TEASER TRAILER FOR MIA...
http://www.fozbee.co.uk/MIATRAILER.exe
The shape of things to come..
ohh, *downloading* ... *download done*
nice trailor f0z, it benifits from having the anti alised sprites option though.
cant wait
-OSC
quite nice trailer, was hoping to see more but D:
also, i really lied the music in the trailor, seemed very professional
-OSC
...
Privateer Puddin' ......THERE WILL BE MORE....
Planned is a Rolling demo.....then a playable demo....then the release of hopefully a 14 mission game(maybe more) ....
This is just a tease...for you...the game will full shabang...

It's not called a "teaser" for nothing... But don't be afraid, there is a lot of work done and hidden up our sleeves.... ;-)

Keeps falling out of my sleeves theres so much....
Most of the core of the game is running sweet......we`re just gonna have fun now making missions for you troops to carry out..
hmm, sorry, didn't notice the teaser but rather the trailer which makes me think of, well, something trailer like :p

That or you just only wear T-shirts.
he he.
The trailer is nice, but really short :(
:P
If me and jaz give you to much chocolate you won`t want to eat your dinner...
....and if you don`t eat all your dinner you`re not getting pudding.
Make sense.. Czar !!
no ones getting me! ._.
ME WANT DEMO OF GAME NOW!!!......
...demo....demo...demo....(eco fades away)
That teaser reminded me of band of brothers somehow... Cant wait for the game!
I think a demo will spoil the suspense waiting for it, wait till its finished to release it! I can't wait to play, also I'll help testing it if you still need somepeople....
Wow this look excellent, cant wait for the release. ;D
Thanks all for your positive response...it drives us on to finishing the game quicker........
Progress so far is :-
graphics....35%.
Coding 50 %.
Music .....40%
Sfx...45%.
...and storyline .....75%.
We`re going to be a bit silent for a while and consentrate on making this game what you all want it to be.....
Using our energy to make the game rather than ranting how good it will be .........
We`ll post some bits and pieces from time to time....feel free to keep filling the wish list as this helps us add cool stuff....if we can.

cheers foz
Happy new year everyone....
I`ve been Missing In Action myself from the forums for a while real life adventures took priority....
I have not done hardly any work on MIA since July 2004 i think it was .....
Spent a long day yesterday refreshing myself with the CoDe...and my new years resolution is to finish the game in some form....
It might not include some of the original stuff....sorry.
At the moment it has 4-5 levels almost complete just touching up and if jaz is still available to do some artwork there will be some other levels.....
I Hope to finish this....just time gets the better of me.....(wife nagging....crying baby...the usual stuff...)
Its good to see so many interesting projects....
Once again HAPPY NEW YEAR...
YES!!!
Attention!
Heh, we went silent for pretty a long while...
I hope I will find time for MIA in between making GFX for mobile games and that this game will be released this year. Yay.
Ease!
This is good news... I had almost forgotten about MIA, but I am glad that I'ts back in production. :)
Wow. This game could be very similiar to Cannon Fodder. Cool work. I'll be sure to test it when it gets released.
And I have a question. Let's say if somebody's playing the game, and completes the mission (With good status and such), Will he get a rank promotion or something like that?
Anyway, Good luck with the game.
Nethros Qoute:And I have a question. Let's say if somebody's playing the game, and completes the mission (With good status and such), Will he get a rank promotion or something like that?
Not planned at the moment....
The games inspiration was cannnon fodder...

A release will be happening very soon.
