Title: if i made a game would you play it (this doesn't belong in VG, okay)
Post by: ncba93ivyase on December 31, 2008, 10:58:31 AM
What I'm currently working on is a basic shmup, and by the time it's finished, it should have all these features:
-Easily user created levels. ie. You can just go into something like paint, scribble some random lines, save it as a png, and you'll have a level
-Randomly generated, user created enemies
-player customizable bullet patterns and stuff

Of course, it'll have a bunch of packed in levels (made by me and Zidone) and pre-made enemies, etc.

also, it's being written in python (obviously)

All I need to do is get a good hit detection system working for enemies and figure out a way to have them send bullets targeted towards you (I think I already have this part figured out), and it'll be ready.

What I want to do is host it here on Boyah and share it with the rest of the good people of the internet. All I'd hope is that some of you guys play it and share it around, because it'll also lead to greater activity for your forum (people come here to download, like it, maybe want to share some levels, join the forum, and so on).

so is this a good idea y/n

It's never going to come out and if it did it'd suck terribly.

at least i know something about games, unlike them

There's a reason I'm not rushing it like Zidone wants me to.

And don't expect an Ikaruga or Dodonpachi or anything, it'll be more like early 80's arcade games, kind of like Galaga but with scrolling levels and neon-like graphics

I made a game in Gamemaker.  I played it, but it sucks.  Speaking of which, I better get working on it...

yeah, because that's the first game to ever allow for user created content

dumbass psyduck;

This is something I've been slowly working on for a while now and it's absolutely nothing like that at all.
