Flash Spore

[madness99999]

I'm still going to attempt to make this spore-like game. Anybody who is interested in helping is welcome. This will take some time, but I think it has potential and I have a friend who wants to help me already. This is what I have in about an hour of work.

hey man, thats lookin pretty good, might i recommend you make some of spores ideas simpler, like custom body parts are just mix and match? doin it fully would be insane

this looks great so far though, keep up the good work :) does the guy in the demo lay an egg at all? ive eaten a few food particles but nothin yet

[madness99999]

Yeah i agree about doing it fully. That would be tough. Umm no he doesn't lay an egg yet, but he grows. It's kind of my own idea for this part. There will be different size creatures that you can only eat if you're bigger than them otherwise they eat you. But like I said I havn't been working on it for very long

[Trinidex]

cool, also one thing that annoys me, please edit the script that makes him follow the mouse, the guy moves far too slow when he gets closer to it, speed him up a bit :D

[madness99999]

Yeah I know what your'e saying about the speed, but it really gives it a fluid feel. Any suggestions on another way to get the same sort of feel to it?

[Cybex]

Are you going to have it so that eventually you're in space aswell then? It would be quite hard to make a full spore game.

[Trunks]

Just increase the speed and keep the ease. It is fine now, but would be better if you try and put some obstacles in and make a little frame around the area so the spores can't appear near the sides of the screens.

[madness99999]

I don't know. That would be huge. And it wouldn't fit on NG. I would have to put it into sections or something. But if it was good enough I would probably change the name and sell it on a shockwave type website.

[madness99999]

Any other suggestions would be wonderful. Im also still looking for help.

[Trinidex]

speed it up XD how about this:

u eat say 20 food pellets while avoinding little enemy things, you lay an egg and ur character goes away, to play again click on the egg and ur bacteria guy will have changed, you know slightly different like he can attack the brown dudes or get a lil bigger. This keeps going until you are a sophisticated single celled organism (possible?) then you get a password, this password will be used for the next section of the game, which will be a separate game on NG

you see if ur having it in different games how do you know people wont cheat? in order to advance in the next game u need the pass from the previous one :P

now im going on, but something to think about

[PODmedia]

Id help out if you need me, my msn is [e-mail]

[madness99999]

Only problem with the password thing, which i had thought about, is the fact that people will post them on here and cheat anyway. Another problem with the sections is going back down to individual worlds and having cities and stuff. I dont know if ill even try. but ill see what i learn along the way

[Alt-1]

ill help add me [e-mail]

[Denvish]

Looks cool. For the movement, I'd say keep the speed up until he gets within a certain distance of the mouse, rather than using the screen width to calculate. I'd love to know how you do the highlight/shade on the creature so it always appears to be lit from bottom right, that looks great.

Good luck with this, even though it's a blatant ripoff, I reckon it'll go down really well once you've got more powerups/enemies in there

[madness99999]

Im not using the screen width to calculate speed, im using the distance from the mouse. but thanks. and im using the flash 8 bevel feature for the lighting effect

[Rabbi-Indie-The-Rad]

Dude, I would love to help out in this.

I can do art, animation, some programming, and possibly music.

[Inglor]

you should probably ditch the dynamic body system that's so nifty for something simpler

umm... dont know if i just didn't see one but was there a counter on how many things you collect?. that might be good.

[s1nt3ch]

very good looking start there :) have you considered using shared objects for saving user adjusted data>?

[madness99999]

UPDATE!!! http://kanniballisti...com/Copyofspore.swf

[Rabbi-Indie-The-Rad]

Yay for me helping out on the scripting!

:)

[madness99999]

I must say this is getting better and better.

[Chellow]

:how would i clear the screen of all of the other enemies after your are attacked

Unless they're randomly spawning couldn't you just reset them when you reset the spore?
If they are random you could just give them a shared health value where they all die if it hits 0. Just set it to 0 when you get hit.

[madness99999]

well i was going to have them die wen u get attacked. but im stuck on the code for deleting multiple of them at once.

that little thing went to the edge of the screen and it was just an annoying never ending chase D:

agreed

i say you make a cursor with a organic crosshair type thing, and the little sperm guy follows it with elasticity

good job so far though

i'd be glad to help if you have AIM mines fenix1163

[Power-Khord]

i'd be glad to help if you have a virginity, mines still open.
