AGS Footballer

ha ha it could be modular so you can add players with their own sprites.. that would be rad.

Dualnames · Tue 20/04/2010 11:51:32

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..

Darth Mandarb · Tue 20/04/2010 14:33:27

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

Wyz · Fri 23/04/2010 14:29:11

Actually I've got a question. Will this be a multi player game? That would be really cool

tzachs · Fri 23/04/2010 17:03:08

Thank you guys

@Wyz: I'm working on it as we speak...

Wonkyth · Sat 24/04/2010 13:56:15

Sounds interesting.
Will watch...

discordance · Sat 24/04/2010 22:31:34

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.

Igor Hardy · Thu 06/05/2010 08:38:27

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.

abstauber · Thu 06/05/2010 18:50:06

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.

tzachs · Thu 06/05/2010 22:02:58

@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...

Calin Leafshade · Thu 06/05/2010 22:14:26

wait, there are two buttons?

Yes, CTRL and SHIFT.

Also when I scored the game crashed. A message appeared saying this:

Unhandled Talent: Error 42: Dualnames

Snake · Thu 06/05/2010 22:40:39

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.
