COPYRIGHT UPDATE FOR THOSE GAME MAKERS: (I couldn' tbe bothered to edit my copyright thread)

You must make sure that u put in your copright screen that u allow OWI to use and re-own your game at any time provided that it they would/it would be nice if they gave credit to you for game/idea/sprites. =D HEADS UP FOLKS

EDIT @ Joshkrz: I wouldn't start I new game for various reasons mainly being that you get sidetracked and, if u find the shorter game more fun/easier u WILL stop making the origional I know it happened to me while I was making my game Bee Chronicles yep u never heard of it have you...nope! =D

Hi everyone! ;)
Josh, are you going to enhance sprites ripped from previous Oddworld games? I'm asking because in comparision with new, high-detailed backgrounds, the sprites from 1997 look a little bit... ugly :/ (Very, very pixelized)

You can e.g. make them look better using Photoshop Perfectum Plugin - comparision shots:
Abe Sprite (Normal, 10%, 25%, 50% and 100% smooth) - http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/1...difference.png

Holy shit, that is a great plugin, but is not nessisary so therefore I wont be trying it anytime soon. Thanks for the tip thought that will come in handy.

Mabey we could do a comparison with demos.

I will work on that.

It's been a while since I lasted been on this site... x.x
Seems like progress has been a bit slow... :S

Like I said I am very busy with other things, but this is not dead, progress will be made, saying that where have you been? :P

--

And STM, A.L.I.V.E engine is completly different to AVILElite (The formating and name is (C) Joshkrz :P), and therefore will not be liable to any copyright infringment laws.

Even if it is I'm keeping it.

I will try to get an update in, but along side my other work, my computer fucked up the other day, and is a bit unstable.

Thanks for all your continued support.

Yes... I stole your excuse! xD

heh alrite makesure thye no it then

Game Update!
I have decided to upload the current version.

Hold shift to run, press up to hoist. D is to jump (there is no animation at the moment).

One good thing is that so far the Abe character has no animation or movement glitches that I know of.

http://www.tabbicat.co.uk/game.php

You will notice when on the forth screen abe sinks into the floor, this is a problem I am having trouble sorting out. Also when you hoist to a ledge the code used works fine now, but might cause conflicts later on in the game.

You can hoist where ever there is a white see through box. I cannot get it to work when the boxes are placed differently in different screens.

Varrok 08-31-2009 08:40 AM

This demo (may I call it a demo now? ;) ) is very nice, but hope final version will be 32x better :D Keep up the good work! :)

PS: Do you still have problems with ripping sprites? Did you try:
http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/.../Sprites01.zip
http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/.../Sprites02.zip
(ALL dynamic sprites ripped from Abe's Oddysee - their Height is 50% because in game they're stretched) ?

...now you're thinking with Portals xD

Oddey 08-31-2009 08:52 AM

It almost feels like I'm playing an Oddworld Game. I hope you can get the jump feature to work just as well.

PS: Do you still have problems with ripping sprites? Did you try:

The portal effect is because there is no more screens. The engine tries to go to the next frame but can't find the frame so only abe is repositioned and the screen number goes up one.

Unfortunatly them sprites do not include the standard animations. They only have action animations, like rolling, throwing, jumping ect.

Carnix is getting sprites for me so that's not a problem. Thanks for the links though.

Thanks, one issue I think will be hard is abe grabbing onto ledges, but hopefully it will be OK.

One thing I did a while back when I got a but sick of trying to fix that code was create an application of the game. The "Standalone" version of the game.

This will come with the demo, and is equipped with an auto-update feature that allows you to download the latest version of the game without having to reinstall (or re download) everything, only changing the files that have changed. It will also give you access to a number of different options.

Here's a screeny:

This is not the final version though.

STM 09-01-2009 03:00 AM

It's real gr8 man impressed but there's no reset =D

JayDee 09-01-2009 03:09 AM

this is awesome great work dude

Varrok 09-01-2009 08:06 AM

Hi, it's me again ;)

I've got some questions:
-I wonder if u give Mudokons in AP three or four fingers? ;) In AO they had 4... in AE ingame too but in FMVs they had only 3... (Don't know why? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oddworld:_Abe%27s_Oddysee - "Alternative Versions" section)
-There will be NO quicksaves, but checkpoints? (Passwords suggest it) Cool :) I hate saving everywhere - it makes game TOO easy
-Do you have a concept of the game logo? ;) There's my idea about it:
http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/4176/proddigy.png
(Sorry for crappy quality - I'm bad in photoshop ;) )


Yeah, I know all the things I mentioned are not necessary now, but it may be useful later ;D

Venks 09-01-2009 08:26 AM

Glad to see you're still dedicated to this game. It's a proud example of how well art sets the mood for a game.

Oddey 09-01-2009 09:55 AM

Varrok, that's actually not all that bad. It's pretty good actually.

AlexFili 09-01-2009 10:42 AM

Stick to 3 fingers now. That's the canon.

MA 09-01-2009 01:12 PM

listen to the man.

Varrok 09-02-2009 08:39 AM

Fixed/Updated idea of game logo :)

About the NurveCo logo :P It's good but really similar (too similar) to the Soulstorm Brew's one. And I think that the main leader of this corp must have some special marks - maybe a scar?
http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/d2ai...281cia0008.png
(Sorry again for quality - camera is broken so i had to take a photo by cellphone)
What do you think about my suggestion? I love the shape of the scar :D

PS: The logo is on poster what is NOT part of it xD Colour scheme for the logo the same that was in your idea of it :)

Crashpunk 09-02-2009 10:22 AM

I really like the new stuff! keep it up :D

Varrok 09-03-2009 12:13 PM

I've made a high-res my NurveCo (and his owner, < glukkon_name_here > [he looks younger and stronger on the logo - that's the magic of marketing! :D]):
http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/y21o75iv/logo1.jpg
http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/09z0x7x4/logo2.jpg

I really hope that Joshkrz will like my ideas and add them into the game ;)

BTW - when we'll be on "making FMVs" phase, ask for voices that guy:

AlexFili 09-03-2009 01:08 PM

I really like the style of artwork in this.

mr.odd 09-03-2009 06:10 PM

Demo is looking good. Any combat probems?

Rampage48 09-04-2009 09:28 PM

Man this has come far but,I keep getting the feeling i forgot something. Like wasnt i helping with this somehow?

Oddey 09-04-2009 11:12 PM

Yes, you were writing the storyline. Which unfortunatly, Blackvenom cannot really prgress without.:D So pick up the pace my friend.

Rampage48 09-05-2009 10:33 AM

OH FUCK!!!!!SHITSHITSHIT I NEW I WAS FORGETTING SOMETHING!!!!

*leaves OWF*

AlexFili 09-05-2009 11:22 AM

I'd offer, but all of my fanfiction plots are based on heroic Sligs.

Well, there is no sligs, so no combat at the moment, and thanks.

Thank you everyone who is contributing and posting ideas and feedback.

jacker300 09-06-2009 10:38 AM

AWESOME!!
 
THIS LOOKS REALLY COOL!

Can I Join If It Doesn't Have Any Illegal Stuff Like Copyright Or Anything. :confused:


Can i join? :D

jacker300 09-06-2009 10:39 AM

plzz reply for what i posted plzz.

Varrok 09-06-2009 10:50 AM

Plz don't Double-Post - It's illegal

mr.odd 09-06-2009 12:03 PM

This game is not illegal, Joshkrz got permission and everything from OWI.
If i remember right, Joshkrz even sent an e-mail and got an reply.

Oddey 09-07-2009 04:15 AM

Jacker300, as Varrok stated, no double posting, just edit your reply, and keep in mind that we can't all sit in front of a computer all day waiting for people to post.

And if you don't want to receive a verbal beating from many of our more intolerent members, don't type with all caps, or with a capital at the begining of every word.

Also, instead of just asking if you can join, how about telling Joshkrz what you can actually do.

mr.odd 09-08-2009 02:06 PM

You can't. They stay there forever, mocking you. It's okay, just don't make it a habit.

joshkrz 09-11-2009 03:59 AM

Thanks Varrok.

Jacker300, seriously. You have posted a number of non-informative posts and have engaged in a somewhat pointless conversation due to your lack of reading.

Please check the thread next time, and use PM's if its a short question.

AlexFili 09-11-2009 05:27 AM

Never mind, we were all noobs once.

Oddey 09-11-2009 06:12 AM

Not all of us. And to a different degree.

CakeSnatcher 09-11-2009 07:26 AM

Wow this game looks awesome. I want to help if you need any. I'm not good with Flash, I only really have the basics down, but I am good at PS. If you want any help.
