I'll skip all the jibbering jibjab and jump right to it.
I have an Idea for a "great" platformer flash game (ill explain my idea later) the only problem is I cannot seem to get any platform engine playing, there's always something wrong and it's getting really frustrating since animating everything is not a problem.
Thats why I need help,
I am looking for somebody who can write me a flash game engine that can do the following parts:
-Scrolling background when the character moves, also when the character moves up (jumps) or falls down the background should follow that movement as well, so x and y.
-Mouse controlled character : The further the mouse moves from the character the faster he will walk in that direction and the character has to jump when the right mouse button is clicked, the character should also move in the direction that the mouse is headed when jumping.
-A ground that is walkable and an open area that if the character falls in he dies.
-A life system in which the player has a maximum of 3 lives.
Doesnt sound too difficult now does it? Well to me it obvious does since I failed in getting it to work.
Anyways. My idea for the game is a richly (and with that I mean very rich) animated world with a very unique and crowded feel to it. challenges in the form of loads of moving terrain and other interactive challenges like airballoons which have to be ridden and just loads of other stuff.
The game will consist of 3 levels with a unique feel and setting to everyone of them and different sorts of challenges.
Now I have calculated that for the animation purposes I only need that simple engine, so I am desperatly looking for somebody who could supply me with the script, see it as a collaboration of some sorts.
If anybody's interested leave a post and otherwise send me an email: tim_mfc@yahoo.com
ps. If you want to get a feel of how the style of the game is check this little thingy I quickly made: http://nixonx.110mb.com/animatedwebindex.html (not finished or anything.)
