Alfs Oddysee 0.1 - Game
Hey guys, new demo of new version!
Its not orignal sprites but fan made ones by Arxryl How to play: Movement: Left - Left arrow key Right - Right arrow key Up - Up arrow key (cannot jump but press it anyway, tis cool) Speak: Hello - "H" Growl - "G" Fart - "F" Chant - "C" Laugh - "L" I dont know - UP ARROW KEY _________________________________ Screenie: http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/6...sodyseekt1.png Download: This time, instead of a zip i just uploaded the .exe http://upload2.net/page/download/BcX...dysee.exe.html (REMEMBER TO SCROLL DOWN AND CLICK OFF POPUPS) Download it, I think you'll enjoy it you abe lovers :) Please note: this game was made by Dean Lemon and the sprites were made by Arxryl and I take no creditbility for his work all though I may edit some bits of it. ALSO This game is now going to be under fast development with it being easier to do then the orignal sprites as I can make backgrounds and much more! Thanks! Tell your friends to download and get involved! Just incase some are wondering this is not the actual game ovbiously is the testing of the game in its early stages :) It will ovbiously go on and a proper full demo shall be out by 20th January I think with some basic gameplay and more. |
Hello dean. If this isn't going to be illegal, I will help you if you want. You can find in www.oddworld.de Oddworld's animations and in the Zulag 1 there are some GIFs made by members. In TOGG you can find a lot of Oddworld's pics and screenshots. And you can ask to Paul, our specialist, help to do your game :)!!!
|
Nah, this is not going to be illegal, dont worry!
I can mange the coding quite easily its just the sprites you see |
:
|
Yes, anyone is welcome to join the team!
ESPECIALY spritests since I will need still images of the movements, can you do sprites? If so couldd you do one of abe? Kinda close to the one on the palystations, just do outline |
I can't do anything. I can find what you need online.
|
:o
Okay go for it lol |
If you want sprites similar to the ones on the old PlayStation, I can help. I'm not too good at creating sprites, but I can edit them fine. Just tell me the kinds of alterations you'd like, and I would be willing to oblige.

OddJobAbe
just the orignal sprites to be honest the basic steph by steph movements walking movements running movents cralling and such? thanks! |
What do you need now, dean? I really want to help you.
|
Ermm, well really need to await on oddjobabe for sprites so i can start on basic interior design butt i will need sounds of abe talking and such, can you obtain these?
|
Are these sprites?
|
Basicly, you got those of that dutch website but i need those non animated and in seperate images ready to be animted into the game
|
I understood. Do you need some screenshots?
|
Nooo thank you
I think we should await for OddJobAbe to provide themm and if you can oddjobabe playstation orignal ones sound good if you can get them, exactly what we need! EDIT: INFACT, there is some thing I need doing, less work then I can get a demo of the game out :) Could you change the background behind abe to white please so I can make the seperate images transparant when I use them, I dont want no black in that picture unless its used on abe or any muddonkens. Thanks guys! ; http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/8...ll20regnq1.jpg Once this is done, the first demo of the game will basicly be done! Thanks, I need this done quite quick guys if you can! I found those on this forum, cannot remember who and once this task is completeded and used in the game I shall give credit to both members or more who help with this dilema |
If you want I have some sounds from AO and from AE. And some from MO! I attach them.
|
Thanks, ill check em out :)
Rekon you could ave a go at my task i set for those willing to help? |
Can't you just use RGB 0,0,0 as the alpha channel when you load the images in your game engine?
|
Paul, sadly I cantt gotta do that long way, but still thanks for advice
AbeIsNow: Them sounds were great thanks, defantly shall be used in game, just need the sprites edited now please EDIT: sprites are down now, game is beign worked on, should have demo of basic things very soon! |
Sorry for double post, more infomation:
this is the sprite sheet: http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/2...sparantxg1.png If anyone would like to tidy it up by sorting the colours and such would be EXTREAMLY helpfull since as I turned it transparant I think I lost things you see so it might need thigns added back on so if you could do that it would be most helpfull. Also, I will need backdrops, anyone know a site or anything? Thanks! EDIT: Does this look right to you or is abe to small? http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/2713/abeidea1wz6.jpg |
Cool idea for a project Dean! ;)
Unfortunatly I don't think I can do anything to help you. My skills in sprites and such are far bad, I could try if you could tell me what you want (BTW wouldn't the whole Abe sprite sheet problem be fixed using paint and just using a bucket to make the background white?), and yes, Abe looks a little small in that picture XD. Either way I totally support this and good luck to you! Oh and welcome to the forums. :) |
Hey, yes me and some of the rest of team noticed he was abit small, and changing the sprite sheet background colour wernt as easy as that, trust me lol. The file type was .jpg so you had to change each bit.
Well, you could help me think of ideas and such, heres some I thought of: Alfs Oddysee: Abes been captured on his quest to save all the muddokons so Alf was next chosen to save abe and all the muddonks he can on his way. Some thing like that? That would be just before Abes Exodus by the way Just an idea, also I need some backdrops that would fit the character size. Anyone? Thanks |
I can help you showing some screenshots for example these (attached). I think you can make a GIF with them or something. But I haven't got any sprite for now. I am searching something in my enormous Oddworld cartel. I am sure I'll find something interesting for you :D!
|
Abe Is Now,
try and get some backgrounds of levels with nothing in them, try getting me the factory first |
You could ask this before. I have a lot of these images :D!
I attach some of them. And then others. Now I attach AE's screenshots. excuse me , I know you asked Rupture Farms, I am making an archive of those images. I will attach them after your consensus. EDIT: I haven't got any Rupture Farms's screenshot that you want. I'm sorry. If you want I can show you other screenshots of other places. |
could i join the 'team'? i was going to suggest storylines and plot-hole covers, and anything you need researching and so on.
if thats not possible, anything you suggest. |
Hey, thanks for your interest, anyone may join the team if they wish :)
"Abe Generation" is not going to be title just to attract attention, open to ideas guys |
Right... Well if you need plots and story-lines I'm here with them. I can't help with much else though. I don't know sprites, backgrounds, or anything else game-related. And here is one quick idea. Maybe a Glukkon city has been made and it's right over an old mudokon burial site (even older than Necrum). So ghosts are flying around in the city. As a slig your job is to make sure that no ghosts are left flying around. As Abe your job would be to free all the ghosts you can and cause mayhem and destruction in the city so Glukkons leave and then other mudokons can tear down the city so the ghosts will finnaly be at peace. The slig is optional although it would be cool to pick your side. Industrial or Native. It's only an idea.
|
Ooooo
I likee that idea! More ideas welcome guys! Everyone who contributes in one way he apart of the team! New title: Abe Game Team :) obviously aint title of game title of topic, will be a new topic for demos of game |
thanks Dean.
good idea Oddey, maybe a chance to create the un-created 'Sligstorm' game? shall each person have a 'title'? e.g: Director (Dean), researcher(s), writer(s), etc. or is that a no-no? |
:o
That sounds good! Dean: Directer/Creator Mollucks Assistant: Research/Writter Oddey: Writter ABe Is Now: General Work Im perhaps thinking of Alfs Oddysee? Not sure anyone think thats a good idea or? |
:
Or change to flying if you need to get to a high place or somthing.. hmm, I guess they'd have to beable to jump when they have pants on though. |
EDIT: FIRST PAGE UPDATED WITH VERY BASIC DEMO OF BASIC MOVEMENT
Hey guys, I am just testing out VERY basic movement of standing still and walking and need yoru expert opinion if this is how abe does it: (ill upload it in a zip in a sec) NOTE: remember this is nothing I know the background is not right, just focus on the walking LEFT at the moment :
|
This sounds interesting, I just want to point out one problem with using original sprites; it makes it rather difficult to make backgrounds that match the style. So for backgrounds you're limited to using the ones from the games or perhaps editing them to make new ones, but you can't really make them from scratch without the style being mismatched. But on the other hand, it does make it a lot less work if you don't have to make a new sprite style and make ALL the sprites and backgrounds for it. I just wanted to point that out. Anyway, I get the feeling I'm rambling, so... :p
I was actually making an Abe-styled game (not about Abe, but using the same sort of movement), but there wasn't really enough of the sort of help I needed (mainly sprites), so I can see where you're coming from :p Then again, perhaps I should've finished the demo even though there wasn't much help, cause it might have attracted more XD Oh well. Just out of curiosity, what are you making this with? Anyway, good luck with this, I could probably help with any technical problems you might have but that really depends on what software you're using. |
YES! researcher/co writer it is!
i assume this makes; Director/Creator: Dean. General work: Abeisnow! Co writer: Oddey. Researcher/Co writer: MA. Technicians: Paul, Gretin. in no particular order. Alf's Oddysee, my vote; yes. whenever you need anything researching or help with story line/plot-hole covers, just yell. i've got some good idea's... |
Alf's Oddysee: Best idea ever. Better than mine anyway.
|
Hey, thanks guys!
Did you check the demo? Its ovbiously wierd when you turn left and right as you miss abit but I shall sort that but do you seriously like Alfs Oddysee? If so we could use it. Also, hey thanks for advice and everything on it but I shall try it like using orginal sprites see how far I can get and I WOULD tell you what program but it is a secret ;) |
Don't worry Dean. I know exactly what you are using. I'm going to try out your demo now.
|
Ok, its nothing really just thought would check with you guys that some thing are ok, like for instence:
- The music - The fart - The walking and about the background, I know its ovbiously not going to be that since its the wrong size but yeh, you get the idea? |
The music is beyond perfection. The way Abe walks has a strangely alive feel about it. The fart isn't good. It should be the exact same as Abe's real fart. The backround doesn't fit in very well but if you could make Abe bigger or make the backround smaller then it would look good.
