Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Hey, I'm the new guy :3
Imo before everyone starts drawing we should have a clear concept.
I tried to follow all teams working on this collab and most of them are still trying to fix on a concept.
They are trying to find a scenery for there level:
atmosphere, story and such

So I think before everyone starts to work on his/her own littel project we should try to find one goal we are aming for.
First step would be (imo) to think about how we got to this world our level takes place in.
Just throw in simple short thoughts.

Mine:
- third world war
- atomic war -> radiation (maybe a bit fallout but still it's the most plausible scenery)
- who began/fought the war (best would be not to use real countries) -> dictatorship? evil group [of villains... maybe not serious enough]

How does the "new world" look like:
- everything destroyed -> ruins everywhere, also destroyed tanks everywhere, before they used the atomic weapons there would have been a "normal war" (sounds hard, didn't know how to describe it :-/ )
- dark sky, smoke, ash
- anarchy
-> maybe some people grouped up to gain power over the shatterd mankind -> player's mission is to destroy this group
- as said: few resources left

Or we could see the apocalypse as the biblical apocalypse:
- fire/lava everywhere
- deamons
- horsemen as minibosses, devil as final boss
- fanatic group trying to control mankind or religious/holy character

Who is our charakter?
Why does he fight? Just to survive?

As we can have "Floating ship pods" -> maybe the characters meets other survivors and groups up

These are just some ideas floating in my head when I here apocalypse

I hope this doesn't look like I'm trying to "take over control", I'm just trying to help.

Hope we will have a great time as a team and a awesome result :)

oh nose!
I shared all my ideas with my new archenemy-team!
my ideas were eviiil, don't use them.

still you've got some sweet concepts here

FOR THE POSTAPOCALYPTICS!

Also, during the final battle it changes from above ground to below ground. Like a hole is blown in the ground and you have to fly down.

Maybe the nearer you get to the end the more smoky it gets.
Or
1. part: dessert
2. part: caves
3. part: a hidden crater in a mountain -> evil hideout, smoke stays in the crater

And for the playermodel:
kind of a steampunk-transformer:
3 different forms:
flying, digging, crawling, driving, walking, train

still no response :(

You have some nice ideas, i was thinking of something like them aswell. But hey, maybe you should wait until you know if you're on our team before you behave like you are.. Deadlines are there for a reason, and for everyone, you know.

Of course,
I wouldn't argueif i wasn't allowed to join.
But am I forbidden to share some ideas because I'm not on the team?

Bossarea could also be a factory of this evil group (also works together with the clockwork)
For the specialbar i would suggest a pressurebar: you have to collect coal (and/or water) to build up the bar to:
1) build up pressure for a huge gun/use a steamtank as bomb
2) keep your machines running: the bar goes down over time and when it reaches 0%-10% you lose some powers (and maybe also your machine breaks down at 0% <- wuhu realism)

I missed the deadline but I left BmK a comment, hopefully I can still join (maybe even on this team? :) )

5) Steampunk level
19) Postapocalyptic level

Never did something like this before but I'd like to give it a try.
Hopefully i get a experienced partner with some good ideas, I'm kinda uncreative.

Cheers

As you can see in the big version, he is quite detailed but in the main pic he's a part of the background.
So a lot of the work i put or the extrawork i could put in gets lost.
Maybe i should have mentioned that the character is base on this (imo great) series.
I tried to redesign the character in "my style".

Cheers

Come on.. page 2?

Looks like we need a little push.

If noone got any great ideas or problems, i think I'm done.
Here's a big Layton (he lost all his might in his little unsharp corner)

Yummy!
Zombie meat.

done!? (any problems/ideas?)

look out!
It's a WIP:

How about some rpg-features?
like when you kill enemies/victims you become evil or you save them to become good, last level could change between heaven and hell (destroy the other side)
evil/good could also affect the ship's look and the specialpowers

some story ideas:
like mentioned falling a sleep in class:
first level is a "doodle-level" on your paper, then you fall asleep and dream of your drawn game

Soo,
it's mine in the list because it's still WIP or don't you like the style at all?

imo i'm done with the foreground, so i can concentrate on the person (who i planed to be prof. layton or does anyone have a better idea/ a wish).

Thanks.
But that's no blood, it's wine.
And i tried to let it look like the bottle fell on the ground in the background and then rolled to the front.

Hey,
this is my lvl 12 WIP

Hope you like it. Any ideas, problems?

Cheers Kreu-Zung

Hey,
this may not fit in the calendar but i when i realized that it was to late to do something different.
And it's special, you wanted something special, right?
do you see HOW special this is?

HQ
my webspace seems to be down, should be back later this day (I hope...)

Cheer Kreu-Zung

Hey,
i reposted my old entry, this is my new one.

It's a bit different but you ask for something special.
Imo this is quite special (and took very long)
And it works!

I made a few changes in my lates digital version (the upper box is smaller and the pipe is shorter)
Is it worth a entry to the contest?
Any ideas or comments?

Cheers Kreu-Zung

Hey,
this was my first entry: HQ

There you go.
Hope you like it :)

Hey,
it took me way to long to choose between my ideas.
So i only had time left for a short one...

funny > simple?
