Topic: Harry The Hippie

[mchammer]

Harry the Hippie is a life simulator game. That means the idea of the game is to stay alive.
So you must try to get a job, eat, exercise,stay out of troubles,have fun...

Harry is "a hiphop guy" and thats why game's music is mostly rap, funk, reggae and soul: Jurassic 5, James Brown, Mighty Diamonds and that kind of music.(I hope i dont brake copyright things a lot... At least the game is free and i have bought all music i have in the game.)

When you play, Harry gets experience and learns new things like cooking, stealing, b-boying and graffiti arts.
The game uses Strazer's character control module which makes realistic NPCs possible. They will sleep, go to work and have normal day routines.

The demo is quite big (21mb) because of the music.

Graphics 10%
Music 10%
Scripting 10%

Ugly Duckling is in some ways similar to J5, so you might consider that, or how about some classic ATCQ? About copyrights... I guess you could ask the artists themselves on myspace etc., I bet some underground artists would be happy to contribute.

Thanks for advice.

Ps. The demo is now downloadable.

I really liked ugly duckling -  taste the secret. Ill add it to the game as soon as i order the vinyl. Those raw oldskool drumbeats are quite rare in "newskool rap".

Yay! I'm glad you still use it. I'm interested in seeing it being used in a real game. Don't hesitate to contact me if you run into any issues. Nice game, btw.

I myself am working (well... not really working but it's in production... ¬¬) on a quite similiar "life simulation" game, so this really catches my interest. I'm really looking forward to play this when it's ready.

It would be interesting to see your project too. Does it have webpage or topic or something?
