Game Nostalgia

Nostalgic games is where its at man... I had a blast making cctb and pico blast... and those are all based on old games like contra and simple hack and slashers. I have been going back and playing games that i loved as a kid and trying to find their essence and sprinkling em into my work. I want to make a bionic comando type of game and a river city ransom one also.

btw did anyone see the trailer for the new bionic commando? It stays pretty faithful to the original i thought it was one of the more appropriate facelifts I've seen in a long time. Usually they butcher em with stupid 3d graphics and overly complex particle effects.

I can't believe I haven't ever seen the original. THAT GAME LOOKS SO AWESOME!
Both the old and revamped version. I gotta go buy that game somewhere. Was it for the SNES right?

Current Project
I'm making another game with Nate. I'm going to try and involve some crazy physics into a game kind of like city jumper combined with those escape in time games. Just wait and see! And yes, that's why I needed the physics tutorial especially on water. I got a bit into it, but not really great looking.

That sounds like a front-paging kind of game. Hopefully it will be better than your Pico day one.

Which was good

I too agree that that game looks freaking FUN!

I am sad that not even one person has said "awesome" or "can't wait to play" after I mentioned I'm working on a multiplayer game :(

I think it sounds awesome! I can't wait to play it either.

I didn't see the post =(

Good luck =) I'm 100% sure though most of the engine you have no is useless for large amounts of people on it at once, cuz at that point, everything starts going loopy.

Well, only 6 people will be in a room and I tested it with my friends and there was no lag. However, we all have high-speed cable so I'm not sure how well it would work for people with DSL or dialup.

It was for regular Nintendo. You can probably pick it up in ROM form if you have a nintendo emulator. There was a version available in the arcades / MAME emulator but it doesnt compare to Nintendo's version.

Play now, thank me later :)

If this is the shittier version that you talked about, then nvm my self-righteous tone ;)

NG HEADER

Does anyone else think the current Newgrounds header looks better than the original?

I like the colors and it looks spiffy!

Also, thanks Luis and DreamworX. I'll go check it out.

I think so too :) But with that said, I think that I'll welcome back the old one next month. This one may look pretty, but I would definitely not want it there for a longer period.

Imagine Newgrounds was all purple instead of orange.
That'd be CRAZY.

Yeah, purple doesn't really fit the "feel" of Newgrounds very well. I think it look like crap.

Personally, I wish the gray would go away. Weren't they talking about custom skins for awhile anyways?

They're probably gonna work on that after Ng Mag and the store and the chat, ect.

So basically not for a while.

I thought they just gave up on NG MAG. They had a layout and just abandoned it or whatever. I remember hearing that, and somehow it just didn't end up working out...

If it were purple you'd think orange would look like crap, you're not imagining very deeply.

Silly Coaly. Orange+Black is simply aesthetically pleasing. It's hard to see anything with purple on black, but a very light shade of purple wouldnt be horrible.

Shows how much programmers know about colors :P

Ng mag will transform into something else. Think of it as a sex change done by the most acclaimed surgeon in the world.

trust me youll want to fuck the shit out of it when its new identity is revealed.

C'mon NG Office live feed webcams!

Stalking is fun. :3

Or special thing where artists/authors can give out info on work - both finished and under production. Simular to NG Mag as it is now, just pimped out to the shit with sexy graphics and fancy new features.

Shows how much you know about regs, because Coaly is an animator.

Coaly is a hybrid...hermaphrodite coder/artist if you will.

And what would you call yourself BoMie? :3

Site Bios

Nothin' much really, but dang am I happy that I get-her-down. Ding! Ya know those guyz I always talk 'bout? Ya can read up on me and the rest of us idiots now. :P We'll add lil' bits of info on us each to it over time I figure. It's also really good to have some new faces in a group.

If any of you didn't know yet the whole Duder E. thing is made up of a tight group close friends and we're all very anti-social too. Started out with two friends of mine and myself. Then evolved from there. Latest dudes are a kid that has more experince with dreamweaver and web design then me - Dan: who we send to 7/11 for munchy runs. And the other is a gun-nut named Nick I met at my school who's an anthromorphic artist.

We're an odd bunch.

You've convinced me to re-install quicktime (At the moment it crashes everytime it loads and firefox closes etc.) and I'll watch it once thats done ;D

Well there was 'riots' for the pink/purple aura before the redesign.

Sorry about the double post.. but oh shi-
The revamp looks awesome :D
Whens it out?

Which is Fruity Fish?

What would you guys say is the best way to come up with levels for a puzzle game that are challenging?

I only have experience with one (still in alpha) puzzle game...

Anyways, I think one good system is to work backwards - starting with the final step, add in a group blocks or whatever that each require one more move to be performed before the previous setup (shifting the previous setup if stuff moves after stuff is deleted e.g. in a falling tile game).

At the end, double-check that there isn't an easier method you overlooked.
