Topic: Remaking 2D Stickman Game... from scratch >_>

[Canceler]

I think most of you remember the stickman game (the actually good one) that I never really finished, which looked like this:


well, i decided that i could do a lot more if i completely remade the engine from scratch knowing what i know now, to make it a lot easier to work on and also give me a chance to bump up the sprites a notch. i worked on it yesterday and this morning and so far i have smooth controls and movement, solid trees, water hazards (which look a little weird), fire particles and a new overworld background music theme--and everything except for the un-toppable Funky Stickman has been made to be more modern in terms of my gfx skealz:


i will commence work on the first Skull Person today, and make it look a lot better than it did.

Ohh...this brings back memories. In fact, I think I still have a copy of the original stashed away on me hard drive somewhere...

So what about that 3D version you were doing?

[Canceler]

unfortunately that's further away from being reality than this is :/ i'm not saying i'll never make a 3D stickman game, it's just a lot more work.

The spaceshooter bit at the bottom-right of your first screenshot looks very good. I like the trails behind those ring-shaped missiles.

Do you have a page that shows this off a bit more? You'll probably see from my site I have more than a passing interest in spaceshooters.

What are you using to write that by the way?

The Funky Stickman returns? Suh-weet! Looking forward to the new-and-improved 2D stickman!

And welcome to PD.net, L-Mage! Er, Canceler!

@crash: i'm using GameMaker. i don't have any more screenshots than this, but it really wouldn't be so hard to grab more actually i have the entire game (which is like a demo since it's incomplete, lulz) available for download here. and btw, if you think that looks neat, you should see my other little project, which was becoming somewhat of a 360° Xevious-esque shooter:



oh, i almost forgot--the new Skull Person and Flamethrower:

oh, i almost forgot--the new  Flamethrower:

He's going to kill you, with a smile!

I think I had a friend who liked this game...

I had no idea it came from the Descent community.

neat

now i've finished the eyeball enemy (already got it working in-game but was too lazy to grab a screenie, plus you can't see it animated that way):

but this way you get to see it in higher resolution than in-game








>_>



what's with the non-PD-esque smileys? ¯\(ºдಠ)/¯

[SaladBadger]

The old smilies were uploaded but never put in use.

Also, the new game here is looking great.

Do NOT use that eye for an avatar!

Don't give me ideas, now.

That's an impressive bit of spriting that. I have to say.
