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.

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?

Gwan-Thwei 07-06-2012 06:57 PM

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*.

JayDee 07-07-2012 01:39 AM

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.

JayDee 07-07-2012 04:25 PM

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.

xXxrenhoekxXx 07-07-2012 09:25 PM

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

JayDee 07-08-2012 08:25 AM

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.

Varrok 07-08-2012 09:14 AM

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

JayDee 07-08-2012 10:57 AM

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.

Nepsotic 07-08-2012 11:03 AM

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.

Varrok 07-08-2012 11:18 AM

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.

You'll figure it out someday, Varrok ;)

STM 07-08-2012 01:04 PM

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.

Varrok 07-08-2012 01:07 PM

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.

Varrok 07-08-2012 01:58 PM

Portal's like, the easiest game ever

Nepsotic 07-08-2012 02:03 PM

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:

Varrok 07-08-2012 02:12 PM

Portal & Portal 2 are like, the easiest games ever

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

Nepsotic 07-08-2012 02:58 PM

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

Varrok 07-08-2012 03:04 PM

I meant your avatar and sigpic

Nepsotic 07-08-2012 03:08 PM

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