I have just posted the security orb with spikes animations.
you animate them left to right. enjoy :D
-
By the way I think the security orb sprites of mine that you animated might look better at a higher frame rate ( if it went faster )
-
also it would be cool if the game had a few secret areas, maybe somewhere around 5

yerh, thats why i added the barrels :p

and ye, i thought that about the frame rate, i just dont get GIFs, they work in 100/s instead. so each frame on that image is 700/s, well it says 7 next to each frame in fireworks, i dunno.

cheers for the orb

also when will your site be up again? and when it is up will there be more added to the oddworld game? sorry for all the questions.

They both look very good, and I can tell Bobtheguys would have taken ages, but it's hard to say which is better. It'd really depend on the mood of the game.

Blender is free. It's tricky to use at first, but it's quite powerful.

Kneel before me, I give you the origanal AE orb :D

Cheers carnix, it looks good

My site is not fully down, it just dosent have anything on it appart from the game. I should be uploading an update if i manage to code 2 things:

• Possesion takes a while to control others instead of instant
• Mudokons don't follow so close, nearly done though
• Map the "A" key to chant (for some reason this dosent work)

im working on these all day, apart from 3.30pm to 4.30pm GMT.

Check the game preview:

Thanks for yor interest

is looking good.

.... so is my security orb still being used in the game, now that carnix just posted one?

perhaps, it all depend on what looks best / matches the style, don't be dissapointed if your dosent make it though, ive made one too that may not be right for the game and has taken time, like yours. but i still appreciate your effort no matter what, but thats graphics for ya.

Plus, theres more sprites to be done and im not even deciding yet, ive got coding to do

Also , maybe this was just on my computer, but when I downloaded your work in progress of the game it was a little bit pixelated, but besdides that it looks pretty cool :D

did you download the EXE one? if so it will pixalate when you put it to full screen or maximize it.

I probably did download that one, Because when I (just now) went on your website, it was not pixelated, and had good graphics. By the way the LCD panel is cool :D

well Flash is not working for some reason, cant even get it to start.
Besides sprites and scripting, is there any other way to help?

Storyline writing, Storyboarding of cutscenes, Testing, Sounds, Music, etc...

thank you, i used the font i posted on j_dudes thread, you have it aswell.

thanks for wanting to help, i appreciate it, at the moment theres not much, but when the prototype is ready, ill be doing, the first FMV, abes head movie, so i will need sounds / voices, i need someone to storyboard it, in 2d though, im not 3d genius lol.

UPDATE: Abes head in the title has been completed by CARNIX, credit to him

Not music or gamespeak though, ive got all i need there. Mabey sounds, if some one can get me a library of SFX that would be helpful.

As for storyline writing, i have got my own idea, and will post soon, and other ideas need to build on that

thanks alex, i have something to quote now :p

I have just gave you some rep. :D

thanks bobtheguy

UPDATE: Title screen now has an animated and talking abe

Try it here
www.kttv.co.uk/game.php

Animation: Carnix
Intergration: Me

The file is 5Mb, so please be paitiet when downloading, its a slow server.

Also does anyone have Abe saying "OK"? The one i have is crap

You forgot ripping, re-spriting and merging AE Abe with AO backdrop... There are reasons it took hours. :p

sorry carnix, i tryed to create a title for what you did, plus i forgot coding, building and designing for me as well though XP

COMING SOON!

Quicksave, you'll be glad you did!

Also does anyone have Abe saying "OK"? The one i have is crap and in WAV, i need it in MP3

wow... how'd you make the animated starting screen? it looks good :D
also you should make it say gibble

i gave carninx abes exoddus and he cut out the animation using a screen recorder at 50fps which gives a 10 frame buffer for my game which is 40 fps.

I added them into my game and triggered certain actions ect.

but why would i wany abe to say gibble when its meant to be like original?

oh.... I haven't played Abes Exodous in a while... I thought he said gibble at the starting...

he says hello, his voice is soft in oddysee, personaly i liked that better.

UPDATE: (Not uploded yet)

- Mudokon sprites have been added but don't function yet.
- Employees don't follow so close

You were meant to say a secret never reveals his magicians...

...Oh wait that's wrong :D

a secret never reveals his magicians

WANTED:

I really need blue possesion orbs that float round abes head when he chants, ive tryed doing them in Flash with no luck, if anyone can help me out, even if its just one image of a blue orb.
It needs to look like the one ingame though

thanks for your help

I may be able to do that.... I'm not sure though, because I'm already working on all the sprites for scrabtrapman's game, and am working on my own fan game.

of course, if you do these orbs, i will let you have the abes oddysee title screen that i have edited to accomidate your own menu items, i cant give you the animated one though sorry.

You asked me to edit out the orbs in the chanting sprites it would be easy to just cut those orbs as separate sprites...?

they are transparent in game so they wont copy well. unless you could? they need to be seperate though.

By the way im compiling the actual game now, i have added sprites and most features but i am stuck at making Abe turn round, im working on it though and will hopfully get round it later on today.

it's cooler now you've added sprites just a bit glithcy turning round apart from that it's cool

yes but that is only the prototype, im workin on the real game now and it looks good abe stands still on this one as well, ill upload it later on today

REAL GAME UPDATED!

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

A few glitches but i wanted to show you it at the moment

This is awsome, keep it up.

thanks for yor support

OFF TOPIC:
If you would like some mudokon symbols (angry, happy, blind, ect) then go to this thread:

---------------------------------------------------

The walking animation on the game will be much better and will hopefully be step by step soon, instead of sliding.

By the way, i always wanted to make my own levels, so maybe you could add in a level editor or something.

i dont know about that, my coding is limited. Ill try though thanks

Don't worry about jumpiness in the walking I've already started reworking those sprites. :p

Like the mudokun sprites, they're great. when will we see more levels of the game?

i might actually do some today if i get tired of coding.

Sprites ripped by carnix, hes making smother ones though at the moment, i dunno if you noticed but the walking animation is a bit jittery here and there
