Slig Suicide - An Oddworld Fangame
 

Slig Suicide - A Journey Through Self Destruction

A little someting that I worked on a while ago in order to test out my, "Blood n' Shit" Gore Engine. This game isn't designed for story, it's designed for fun and to test your puzzle solving abilities. Who hasn't wanted to push a suicidal slig into a meat grinder? You have, I know you have. Barrels of laughs, and fun for the whole family.You guys can have a release once a few more levels are done. Like I said it started as a test, not a game.

This game is inspired by the, game Karoshi: Suicide Salaryman, I advise you give this a try if you haven't played it before.

Lovely Screenshots

Beautiful ain't it? Sprites used for guts are placeholders. They will be changed to slig body parts in the public release. But till then... Enjoy.

looks cool, but add puzzles like in Super Salaryman

man I loved karoshi,
keep it up man :)

Squee, finally an Oddworld fan game close to being finished, keep it up, Joshy!!

Will there be super slig like there was super karoshi?

I'd thought of it but hadn't really thought of a way to do it. Maybe not so much a 'Super Slig' but a pants changing station that could change you into a flying Slig?

OOOH maybe you could include wildlife that eat you up when they see you!

Yeah, then change your sprite into a skinny blue thing, congragulations, you're now in Abe's Oddysee!

Anyway, looking good, can't wait for a release. I can actually, I don't have a computer. *sigh*.

Updates shall be coming soon, I've recently had my laptop fixed which will allow me to work more frequently on projects, plus I had managed to keep all of my data when it got fixed.

I had actually thought of this as a design idea, you'd have to find a way to drop a scrab or paramite into the room you were in, or find a way to drop yourself into a stockyards pen.

Remember electric walls and meat saws!

I've already added bone drills, a meat saw would just be a simple re-sprite.
But your wish is my command.

That looks damn cool! I like the sprites by the way.

One last of update for today, or atleast for my day... it's 01:25 and I'm knackered.
Here's some slamdoors cause everybody loves 'em, and a resprite of the pressure plates to better fit the style. The pressure plates actually move up and down slightly as they did in AO/AE.

is there anything I could do to help you with this?

One last update before a demo release, Land Mines! Step on them for fun! Also sprites used for gore engine are no longer placeholders. Woop.

Can't wait till you get my hopes high enough and then scrap the project!

Public Release
 

Here it is! Your public release. Feel free to post any bugs you may find, or compliments if you're willing to go that far.

Controls:
Horizonal Movement-Left and Right Arrow Keys
Jump-Press Up Arrow Key
Restart Level - Press R Key

The aim is to kill yourself. Find ways to do that. Simple, right? The levels get progressively more and more harder, but since these are the first 10 levels you guys get to take it easy, but future levels will have more unusual, and illogical solutions. It's an Oddworld after all.

Download Here

Have fun.

Hmm, a bit laggy but that could just be the PC I'm using. So far, I really like it! OWF's first finished (sort of) fan game! I love the blood fountain you get when you die. The amount of effort put in really shows your loyalty to this project and it's fun to play. Well done so far.

E: Well, I finished the demo, and it's quite impressive, especially with the short amount of time it took you to make.

The game is too hard, I keep dying!

Thanks! I'll try keep up the good work then. It doesn't seem to lag on my laptop, which is nearly 6 years old. It could be due to the Gore engine, in the next release I'm hoping to have it so you can customise the amount of gore.

Edit:
You'll figure it out someday, Varrok ;)

Haha, I love it Joshy, lots of blood 'n shit, it really stays true to the name of the engine! I can't wait for the sound engine to be added! ^.^

Will future levels up the difficulty? Because as Varrok suggested, the only thing that I noticed so far was that the puzzles were quite easy to solve, even for me. ;D

10/10 keep it up.

You actually can't get more up than 10/10, so in my opinion it's more like 8/10. Try harder xD

Will you work on walking sprites? There are too little frames compared to nicely animated deaths

Remember how easy Portal starts out? By chapter 7 and 8 I was smashing my head against a wall. Probably just me, though.

Thanks man, I'm glad you like the blood n' shit. 10/10? Thanks! And about the level difficulty:
Yeah, what Nepsotic said. :D
The aim of these first few levels were just to allow you to get a feel of all the hazards you have at your disposal. And for 'illogical' solutions, if you've ever played Karoshi you'll understand how illogical the solutions often are.

Those sprites were actually made by Carnix quite a while ago, I'm currently working on my own sprites to give my own feel to the game(if i hadn't already). Might be a few updates along the line till I get 'em finished though. And, 8/10? Thanks! I'll definitely try harder.

Portal's like, the easiest game ever

Hahahahahaha!
Ha.

It really isn't. (referring to the second one).
And if we're talking about Portal 2 you should see the font in my sigpic :tard:

Portal & Portal 2 are like, the easiest games ever

And I adblocked pony images on OWF, sorry u.u

There are no Pony images in that post. So your adblocker sucks.

I meant your avatar and sigpic

Oh. Well if I'm being honest that's very petty of you.

I dunno, I block other things too

I was trying to be nice and do a blind walkthrough the demo and well...

my recording fucked up so I had to make it private,
sorry I couldn't get the right quality.

Wow, Slig Suicide really suits monochrome and skewed to the right. ;) Bu seriously, thanks man. Thanks to that i got to see how people reacted to the puzzles, so far the only one that seemed to cause confusion, for you atleast, was the barrel dropping one.
For future reference the resolution is 320x240px

it wasn't the size I was having trouble with,
it was cam studio being a bitch :P

Not the easiest ever perhaps, but it was disappointingly easy. I only remember being stuck for more than 30 seconds about twice.

This is epic.

Suprisingly addictive. I'm stuck on the level with the barrel, the pressure pad and the two pits with 3 pressure pads in each.

Floor looks like this

XXX[___]XXX

Solution: Push Barrel above the left pit and stand on pressure pad to drop barrel into the left pit. Proceed to throw yourself in the landmines.

Or see Nepsotic Renhoeks's play through. :)

Sorry for the double post but needed post some updates.

I am currently working on adding more levels to the game, especially more challenging and puzzling. Some so complex I'm having to make some more to smoothen the difficulty curve out abit. Hoping to get up to 15 rooms, if not 20 for the next release.

I've added Laser Sensors, which despite originally being a hindrance and therefore helpful in killing yourself, still have the ability to do mean things to you, like stopping you from jumping in that spike pit.

Here's a shot of one of the newer levels, still in testing. It's twice as big as the previous levels, being 640x480 rather than, 320x240. I disabled the camera to take this shot, so don't worry about random rooms zooming in and out.

Looks like it's coming together nicely.
And I'm pretty sure you meant Renhoeks playthrough :fuzconf:

I was thinking of making odd world cams for your levels...
I'm not sure I should or if you'd like that though :\
