Genral.E.Stupid 05-12-2002 06:18 PM

just let them be slow.

Xavier 05-12-2002 06:22 PM

beuh...
not slow...
I want something fast :)

Mac the Janitor 05-12-2002 10:38 PM

Ok, first I will try to make it just 2 frames (it'll make it faster) and if that's still too slow, I'll just make no animation. Thanks for your help!:)

Mac the Janitor 05-14-2002 01:31 PM

How many of you guys here on the forums have Macintosh computers?:fuzconf:

Xavier 05-14-2002 02:45 PM

Maybe Pilot :D
I don't
make a poll

Mac the Janitor 05-14-2002 11:52 PM

Hey, good idea!

I posted it in off-topic... everyone vote!

Ode to Pac-Man
 
Can't wait to see the game!!! Sounds AWSOME!! I've KIND of got an Oddworld game in the works too (concept phase, if anything). I think you should just use a blinking or not disk-type propellor. Save graphics, cash in on speed and fun. Has Pac-Man tought us nothing?

Mac the Janitor 05-15-2002 01:39 PM

Almost done!
 
YAHOOO! I'm almost done with my game! I am finishing the passwords right now, and it should be up n' running by next Friday (May 24th)!

I will post it with two missions: training and Scrub Escape. After that, I will make the others and post them, too.

Xavier 05-15-2002 03:06 PM

arg 9 days to wait...
ok I suppose the only thhing I can do is wait

munch man Abe 05-17-2002 07:19 PM

7 days
 
7 more days to wait. IM BORD:fuzmad: :flames: :rant: :dead:

Mac the Janitor 05-18-2002 07:40 PM

As some of you may know, I bought MO on Friday. As I looked through the book, I saw the Slig ranks. Whoops. Now I have changed the ranking system in my game:

1) Crawling Slig

2) Slig Slacker

3) Slig Bouncer

4) Slig Popper

5) Armored Bouncer

6) Armored Popper

7) Flying Slig

8) Armored Flying Slig

9) Big Bro Slig

10) Armored Big Bro Slig

When you are one of the armored ones, it will be like having an extra life. If you get hurt, then you will just lose your armor, unlike the others where you will just have to start over.

Edit: I know there is no such thing as an armored flying slig, but what happened to the flying ones? They weren't in MO.

Xavier 05-19-2002 06:47 AM

there are no Flying sligs in MO, probably because it's to deadly in 3D

Mac the Janitor 05-19-2002 02:37 PM

Yeah, that's what I thought. It would be way too crazy with a whole bunch of flying sligs trying to blow you up!

Xavier 05-19-2002 05:39 PM

yeah it would be crazy!
totaly amasing
a flying slig run !

Mac the Janitor 05-19-2002 06:25 PM

Yeah! Think of posessing one! You could go anywhere!:)

Do you have an armored slig animation? (not BigBro) I made one, but it is not good.:(

Xavier 05-20-2002 05:49 AM

no, I don't have any :(

Mac the Janitor 05-20-2002 01:17 PM

Ok, that's alright. I'll just use the one I made.

I'm almost done! I'm working on the menu and the passwords.

Sal the Mudokon 05-20-2002 09:12 PM

CANNOT WAIT!!!!

ok, I guess I will, BUT IT WILL BE HARD!
When you get done with this, where can we download it and the other games? Did I mention that I can't wait?

Mac the Janitor 05-20-2002 10:16 PM

Well don't get too hyped up. I've said it before and I'll say it again: it's cheezy.

First I will post the finished game here when I'm finished, cuz you guys are the best!:) After that, you will see it on sligpatrol.s5.com. The site isn't there now, but I'm working on it, too. There you can download new missions. I think there will be about 60 missions made, but that's just a guess. You can download the normal version or the speedy version. The normal version will be relatively slow, but speedy version will be super fast.

Genral.E.Stupid 05-21-2002 04:05 PM

i cant wait know...................................

(anyway you know we'll love the cheeze)

Mac the Janitor 05-24-2002 02:23 PM

OK, um, I have a question...

I have a menu halfway done. It looks like the Slig gamespeak screen, and you first click on the location you want, then the level. Now, you could do this just by folders, and the game would be released a lot sooner. Should I finish making the menu, or just do the folder thing?
Thanks!

blood 05-24-2002 05:36 PM

Yeh, keep it like it is. I don't care if it looks bad. This game is going to be good. Keep up the extensions.:)

Mac the Janitor 05-24-2002 10:33 PM

Thanks, blood!:)

I am terribly sorry, everyone. :(

When I purchased Munch's Oddysee, I was practically done with creating my game. Then, I saw the rank system, and completely remodeled the rank system and passwords. Now I will have to postpone it till Tuesday. Again, I am very, very sorry. You can flame me all you want, I completely deserve it.:fuzemb: :(

OK, back to the menu thing. It will be encredibly easier for me and everyone else if I scratched the menu idea, and I could also release it earlier. You would just use the folder system. First, you would open the Slig Patrol folder. Then, you would open the folder of the location of your choice. After that, you would open the level of your choice. Also, if I created the menu, I would have to preset the limit of levels I would make. But if I used the menu system, the number of levels I could make would be unlimited.

Sal the Mudokon 05-25-2002 12:04 AM

Will not speak in complete sentences

My advice:
Do what you got to do, Get game as best as it can be, will wait till doomsday, but prefer sooner:) No flaming needed

Genral.E.Stupid 05-26-2002 09:49 AM

no flamingneeded at all its your choice to make the game so its your choice when to bring it out
(as long as its cheezy im still gonna like it whenever its out)

dumboddrw2 05-26-2002 10:13 AM

Hey Mac! I liked the screens you sent me! Can't wait to play it

My newest game is done and available for download:

www.geocities.com/dumbo_ddrw/slig/crig.zip

It's got weapons and flying,walking sligs in it,as well as enemies. You could lift some ideas if you want!

Xavier 05-26-2002 10:39 AM

it's pretty cool!
I like it !

Mac the Janitor 05-27-2002 02:23 PM

Thanks for not flaming me, everyone!

dumboddrw: I can't play your game.:( I have a ghetto mac.:( (Well, it's not really ghetto, it's kinda new, but I still would rather have a PC):( I wish I could play it, it looks very neat.:(

Al the Vykker 05-27-2002 02:31 PM

We won't flame you Mac, its great that your even making a game that we can play. Cheers to that, how ever long it takes is fine by me.:)

Xavier 05-27-2002 03:08 PM

I can't kill the sligs with the brew!
:crying:

dumboddrw2 05-29-2002 12:33 PM

Yeah I know,only Blitzpacker can.

Fly past the Sligs when they aren't looking and save the brew cause you'll need it for the next screen!

Xavier 05-29-2002 12:35 PM

it's realy hard!
I can only go down the screen and I can't go up :(

Sal the Mudokon 06-01-2002 09:38 PM

Can you guys give ME a link to some of though pictures?? I'd really like to see how your progress is coming!

Xavier 06-02-2002 05:12 AM

you can see some screens in the first posts of this topic

oddling 06-12-2002 09:41 PM

Hey dumboddworld when i downloaded the Crig the Slig game all it did was give me a whole bunch of pictures of the things in the game and it sucks!!!!!! I wanna play it WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! *Huddles in fetal position sucking thumb*

Oddling l:c l

MojoMan220 06-14-2002 08:32 PM

Hey Mac, Any more news on the game and when you will release it??

Mac the Janitor 06-14-2002 08:52 PM

Yeah, actually, I do.

My program hasn't been working right for the past few weeks, but I should be done fixing it REAL soon. It's a shame that it just stopped working right then, though, because I am VERY CLOSE to finishing it. The Scrub Escape level (the first one that comes with it) won't be done for a little while, I will be able to release the main menu soon. I'm not going to type any more release dates; they will probably be innacurate and make everyone wait even longer. I don't want to dissapoint you guys again.

Every location in the game has five missions.
The locations will be:
Bonewerkz
FeeCo
Soulstorm Brew
Soulstorm Mining
Rupture Farms
Splinterz
Vykkers Labs
Slig Barracks

(40 levels overall)
If you would like to know the names of the missions in a specific location, please reply.

Thank you, everybody, for being very patient and helpful with Slig Patrol. I know it has been quite dissapointing with my two horribly innacurate release dates, but hang on a little more...it'll be out before you know it!:)

Xavier 06-15-2002 04:48 AM

we are waiting...
Is there something at the end?
like a boss or something else

I would like to see a timed level at the end, like the ones in AO an AE where the place will explode and you have to get out before it does. They added some much needed tension and variety to the games.

P.S. Could you tell me the missions in Splinterz?

P.S.S. Are there different styles for each level?
