the six shot idea definitely works for me, should makes things hairy towards the end of the level.

Just keep chuggin out ideas guys. I had to set aside the design for a min so I can finish up this minigame Im doing, but after that its back to this, so keep em comin.

It's changed to just an tankmen art collab so yes, anything.

if anything is allowed, how can it be a sketch collab?

just more on art and less on how to make successful threads in the art forum.

working out some details on a character im redesigning.

At 11/14/09 03:51 AM, LaserKarl wrote: Those are all great concepts. Nice work pale-man!

I was thinking that maybe we should set some guide-lines, as in deciding what kind of spawmning enemies we should have, like

Small Cannon fodder, two different types.
Medium quick type
Medium power attack-type
Meduim "defence type" (armor)

And so on. Does anybody else think this is a nice idea?

yah I think that works,. this week Ill get on that demo/level design thing so we can possibly get a clearer idea on how everything will fit together. I hope.

I like the scarf :3

Oohh shot down. Which brings me to the question I was going to ask.. what happens when your ship/character is shot down?

there would be a crash animation . and the game deducts a life, and you start with a new player from the last spot you died etc.. yknow. like a regular game

At 11/11/09 07:31 PM, just2pale wrote: Hey I was just wondering if we knew if the game was scrollable Vertically? Meaning is the player going to be able to fly higher and lower if needed.

I was just curious because this would be a fun way to have very large bosses.

If anyone knows let me know.. or I guess I could just ask Bomtoons.

no

shes a SAW victim escapee, judging by the nubs on her wrists.

I'd really hate to be kicked from the team. I spent 20 minutes looking at a book describing how steam engines work.

post more art, and less excuses plz.

I like the idea of it spinnng to shield it self.

So I probably won't be posting things as often as I'd like. I'll try to keep current with the posts, but if I miss a few things then I must apologise in advance.

all art will be redesigned but one or two artist to keep the look cohesive so it doesn't matter if the art is bad as long as the idea is understandable. the divinci copter will probably get in...

So just keep posting, we arent worried about the fidelity of the art right now.. we just want ideas.

anyways heres my first stab at the player sprite. ist loosely based off of divinci's wings, with a steam powered rocket.

some differences is I would like the wings to flap., and I would like slightly different variations of movement for each arrow. so if you hold back the there will be a sprite of the tilted back with maybe a faster loop flap . and have the head tilt up for accend and glide for down.

Higher rez

I don't care if there not used or or anything, but just for fun and to potentially widen the ideas of the final concepts that the chosen artists produce.

Thanks, and the project looks superb so far, the ambition is outstanding and it looks like its really coming together.

it probably would get messy if you posted them in the actual shmup threads, but unless BMK or BOM Objects I dont see any problems posting your ideas for a certain level here in the main thread.

thats great. I like the front plating idea, it would also be great if bombs do come into play, we could make it an easy kill feature for added points and such, that way not all enemies are killed the same way . Strategy in a shooter goes along way to keep things interesting.

You CAN be cut from the project if the team leader does not think you are cutting it.

This is a serious project and I intend to see it completed successfully.

BMK is a meanie <:c

Also Some simple collab rules apply here as well.

make sure not to name your MCs something generic, like enemy or player.

use unique names or make up something that works for you STEAMP_player, STEAMP_enemy1, etc.

it was a long slow process that began midway through the art forum game dicussion thread.

but you can ask BMK if we are full or not here

Lol, I knew I was right, thats why I ignored your post.

This is so awesome. I love the clock.

Also here is a sort of weak enemy plane

not bad, not try for a sideway shot of the vehicle and maybe tells us how you think it should move.

Snake pattern, shoot and retreat , etc..

BomToons Layed out enough info to really dig in, so every should be bring up as many designs as you can to the table so we can , so we can move on to creating them as finished sprites.

also when we get a chance we should all hit chat again and discuss some level design.

oh heres my shot at some cannonfodder.

Simple remote flyer that approaches in a snake pattern that allots you extra points for killing the whole formation.

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.

sounds great, I would like to have 3 background changes and possibly 3 song changes, it all depends on the template Bom comes up with and what he is willing to customize.

i like this idea, AND its a good way for animators to flex their effects muscles.

Btw heres a Clockworks robot i had done a while back, since the originally project it was intended for has been put on hold, I wouldn't object if he had a cameo in this :)
