Game Update!

This game now has a name with help from BlackVenom:

Abe's Proddigy

Prodigy = Definition: Person or thing that is extraordinary.

Also, no more sneak peaks until the official demo is released, I will still tell you what I'm doing though. We have successfully designed allot of screens and the demo should be here within a month.

Also the ripple effect transition on the real Oddworld games had been replicated in flash, and added to the title screen, if anyone has the sound that goes with it, I would be grateful.

Whenever I visit the site I only see a blank page. Still, I really like the idea. I wonder if there will be any more "Prodigy" references in the finished game

.

It works for me, try again later or refresh the page: Note that the effects and updates mentioned above are NOT included in the online demo.

Thanks for your support.

Possibly! xD
We were having trouble for the naming of the game last night when I got the idea of giving the game an early name, Turns out we get the final name instead. We had all sorts of weird names till I said Proddigy when "The Prodigy - Mindfields" started playing on my music program. xD

Who/what i going to be Abe's prodigy then? 'Cause I'm sure the names to the first two games ment something... *pats chin*

Prodigy = Definition: Person or thing that is extraordinary.

Its different to Oddysee and Exoddus, when they both kind of mean the word, Adventure.

Also also notice the Oddysee and Exoddus, so we did Proddigy.

BlackVenom · #**158** 06-10-2009, 05:04 AM

I'm pretty sure we would of had another name if it popped up at the time and seemed good enough but no... Proddigy was the best name and I guess we are keeping it at that now.

I think the graphics on this game will be better then mine, but that doesn't mean mine will suck compared to this one

Your right, each and every game will be good in its own way. This is no competition, you make a game to suit your ideas and plans.

Rampage I've seen your slig story, perhaps you could convert my shitty excuse for a storyline into something amazing?

If you want me too but my brain feels like its been drained for some reason. I havent had one good idea today. But if you think i could do it then sure ill try. All i need to know is the simple basics. for example:Intro stuff like that. Other wise im completly lost. But yeah if you really want me too ill do it.

Thanks I'll PM you the basic story sometime today or tomorrow, I'm quite busy now.

Don't give up. It does seem to take a while to make a good game but if you keep at it, you might actually make something decent!

That's more like it. Thanks for the little comment about the graphics and keep going with your game mate!

Anyway, Progress on the game so far is going extraordinarily well then first intended. A lot of work on scenes has already been covered ever since I teamed up with Joshkrz and the crew.

Can't wait to get this game out to everyone!

If i am the storyline writer Then dont worry ill write something awesome. Also you dont even have to give me credit. I mean sure you could but you really dont have too. Seeing as im only writing the storyline.

bobtheguy · #**169** 06-10-2009, 10:22 PM

The storyline is a major part of the game, I think you should get credit

You definitely will get credit for your work but you might want to focus on the detail of the story you make. Too little detail and it'd come out pretty crap and far too detailed might lead to players getting far to confused to figure out whats going on.

Rampage48 · #**171** 06-10-2009, 11:14 PM

Well i got a pretty good idea of what to do.I thought of a slogan for the slig barracks out of boredom.If you wanna hear it then here:The Slig Barracks,If you dont rack em,We Cap em. It sucks i know.But i did make that up in less then 15 seconds.

And to see how i write stories goto the link in my sig to see it.

Nice, I see that your stories go into a lot of depth. Most people don't have that sort of perception but you pull it off just like that! I'm actually now wondering where the story is gonna go! O.o

Rampage48 · #**173** 06-10-2009, 11:38 PM

Yeah im one of those people who love tons of detail so you feel like your actully there.Or can atleast get a mental picture in your head.

Yeah, I'm quite a detail freak myself. Most of the time I can't help but make my pictures high detail because I just don't feel right when It doesn't look like my effort went into it. xD

Rampage48 · #**175** 06-10-2009, 11:43 PM

Anyways im glad im gonna be working with you guys. And dont worry when time comes. I will buy two five pack of energy drinks and use those while i type lol.

Lol, i don't need energy drinks. All I need is music! xD
[gonna go a little off topic >.>]
D'n'B (Drum and Bass) is the best!

I also make D'n'B music too! xD

bobtheguy · #**177** 06-11-2009, 12:00 AM

I get diaheria from energy dinks....... yes I know this is off-topic

Rampage48 · #**178** 06-11-2009, 12:05 AM

Yeah im also gonna need music. (This is also offtopic.I posted a new chapter for ma story.)

How dare you go off topic in one of my threads

Didn't mean to...

Anyway, Progress is going really well and very quickly too at the current moment! Also practicing doing organic forest based texturing now like trees, dirt, rocks and other stuff you'd find in the wild.

[EDIT]

Here's something simple I just made, I'm not so good with detail on forests and stuff because I'm more of a mechanical person so beware... THIS MAY LOOK LIKE COMPLETE SHIT! xD
At least the sky looks good!

(picture obviously inspired by Paramania... lol)

It's obviously not finished, Just some experimentation of mine to test some random effects to see if it'll work for the forest. (This is not going to be used in the game most likely.)
