Oddworld: Online / Standalone Flash Game

[joshkrz]

thats a really good idea thanks, by the way the first bit in game isnt NurveCo its IntelliWerkz (unless someone comes up with a better name?)

[joshkrz]

EDIT: Sorry for double post i didnt see this page and thought my post didnt come up

[bobtheguy]

throughout my game there will be news reports that the player wsatches, is it okay if one of them says "due to the recent destruction of Nurveco. GENE WORKZ has switched to boiler power"

[joshkrz]

no problem, use the nurveco logo if you like

[bobtheguy]

thanks

Hey im not a pro coder.But ive made my share of flash games.So ask me about some action scripting and i may be able to help.also im really good with ideas.

[joshkrz]

if you have any ideas, just send them my way, here or PM, or email:
josh_krz [at] kttv [dot] co [dot] uk

Also watch out for my Idea Request posts.

As for actionscript, im fine for now, two people are helping me wth this when i need help. Thanks for your offer any way.

Was that an overly obvious hint?

This is great, love the *actual* abe sprites! Keep it up!

*EDIT: Of all the words to choose from, I chose actual. I could have said official! Why didn't I say official!

no, the idea request posts have that font and size, im not hinting anything .

also thanks for the support, carnix is ripping them.

[Carnix]

carnix is ripping them.

It's taking a while... Sorry for the delay Josh.

[joshkrz]

thanks carnix there good, better than the first ones.

Game Progress

I am figuring out a way to make abes walk one step if the key is tapped or walk continuasly until the key is released. This may take a while, but i may post graphics updates if i need a break.

Thanks for your support

Game Update
02:34pm | 06/06/2009
Mines work correctly!

I have now included a mine to show you how, it looks and sounds when it blows up. Just walk into it.

The explosion effect is not as detailed as it is a vector animation, in other words, it dosent use pixels but puts less strain on your computers performance.

New! Play the Game Demo >
Play the game Prototype >

[Carnix]

Just a quick thing I just noticed, make the buttons on the main menu inactive while Abe is still coming out of the hole. Otherwise if you click too early the animation jumps to 'ok'.

yes i have taken note of that alredy, im working on the main game at the minuite

cheers though

[Oddey]

You're doing very well. Everything actually feels like a game made by oddworld.

[mr.odd]

nice work. abe blowing up from a mine, good times.

[joshkrz]

thank you for all your support

i havent updated the game much in a while, so, to say sorry, i made a remix of "Approaching the Boiler" from Abes Exoddus, its my first time making a full remix and ive only used Adobe Soundbooth to edit music and sound effects for this game.

Condemned! Play MP3 >


The good bit is a bit after the middle, excuse me if its really shit, its my first one

[Oddey]

I'd take out the talking and such, but otherwise it's not too bad.

[joshkrz]

thank you, personaly i like the talking, its not meant to be serious or anything, just like a play around.

thanks.

I remember when I was helping a fan game before until my PC died one day >.< I don't visit these forums much anymore because of that but I still check around. I got some artwork I wouldn't mind showing but I don't think it would be necessary... >.>

The remix was ok (I'm not so good at remixing, better at making stuff from scratch) but it really isn't that well done. I might attempt a remix at that though seeing how simple the song is.

BTW, I also make music. So I'm a 2d/3D Graphical artist and a musician now.... >.> Kinda braggin' xD

Anyway, Keep up the work!

[Phylum]

I'm a 2d/3D Graphical artist

Hardly surprisingly.

~on topic~

The explosion was surprising. I expected something more like in AO/AE. The 'shroom cloud rocks, but doesn't quite fit in with the Abe sprite. Two too different styles.

Also, Abe needs to respawn :P

The song isnt meant to be good, it was just to see how well I could use Adobe Soundbooth, anyway, could you show me some of your work?

I know about the respawning, is it just the cloud that dosent look good or all of it? It cant look the same as Abe or the Background because it's a completely different type of graphics, and theres no other way of doing it.

I know, just giving a little bit of criticism on how it could be improved if it were to be used.

Anyway, here's where I keep most of my tracks: http://blackven0m.newgrounds.com/audio/

[EDIT]

And here's a video on my best tune I just uploaded: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4zmq...e=channel_page

I only use Fruity Loops Studio 8 so far and right now as I speak I'm waiting for Reason 4, I ordered it and should be here in a day or 2. and thanks mate, Haven't been making music for a year and I'm already good! xD

[EDIT]

BTW, Here's a very quick remix I did on that song you remixed. It's only a loop of the first bit, I just changed the beats and added some reverse effects. http://www.mediafire.com/?wdni4mwtv3n

[joshkrz]

I like that remix, I wish I could do that.

Update: Game development resuming 08 June (tomorrow in my case).

Get to work! xD jk, it's already the 8th here lol...

[joshkrz]

Its the 8th now in UK to, but I haven't gone to sleep yet, so its 7th for me.

Update
BlackVenom is creating the backgrounds to go behind the foregrounds I have done and hopefuly some more decal to make the screens look more "damaged", they look good, ill post the fourth screen as soon as it is completed.

[BlackVenom]

Iv'e Done 3 backgrounds so far. Spent hours making all of them entirely from scratch and using a few references for help on the designs ideas. The flooring in each scene won't stay there because Joshkrz is going to be making the entire foreground, I've only put it there to show him where they are supposed to go.



[EDIT]

I made 2 new scene backgrounds that join together vertically. These might be used in the game later as a secret area. I'm only putting these here to show that we are still doing something... xD

[Oddey]

Welcome back BlackVenom, and nice backgrounds/foregrounds/whatever.
