Roles needed: Programmer[s] Spriter[s] Composer[s] N00b[s] Experts Anyone is welcome to join, no matter their skill level! (I will be the game designer, while still dabbling in the programming field.) Everyone who joins will get a mention in the credits AND possibly a reference in-game!

im good with sprites

and programming but thats basically it

I'm a great spriter and title screen maker :)

Okay, you both are in! (Btw more people need to join but we can start something first)

I was thinking of Supercalifragilisticexpialodocious as a team title. I chose that because: 1. It's actually the longest word ever 2. It's a pretty obscure word so probably nobody's chosen it. What do you think of that as a title for our team?

I can be programmer and composer. :)

Okay, you're in too! (Read my previous comment)

What type of game do you guys want to make? (P.S. More people are still welcome to join)

When in EST will you guys be available today?

I live in Chile, idk what is EST oops

Anyway, what type of game do you guys want to make?

I know a kitchen sim hasn't been made yet....

NICE TRY. But maybe we can work on that as a secondary project. So, what should our main project be?

what about an adventure game

how about a...tutorial? some basic commands, people really want that

Umm, i already made a title screen for secondary project

So, I have an Idea that will sort of be a mixture of all of yours; an IDE+compiler with an all new language that's made specifically for game development! What do you think? (Also Duckymomo are you joining or not?)

what do you mean all new language?

We could use ABGREGEX or LEX by actorbug for making a parser/syntax highlighter!

im a noob can i join? pls

i can print text and thats it so far i need help

lol

You may join, Aidan.

okay i need help with sprites thats what i want to learn do i get to be in the credits also?

Of course you'll be in the credits, everyone will! Anyways, on second thought, that IDE doesn't seem like a good idea. How about an Adventure/Puzzle game where you play as an egg... thing. (IT'S NOT THAT WEIRD I'LL SEND YOU CONCEPT ART) and you have a special yolk power inside of you. You unlock more and more abilities to use to solve puzzles by:

Pushing/pulling blocks with a yolk tongue, laying yolk traps that turn into blocks when enemies touch them, a basic yolk blaster, and possibly more. And another part is that while exploring you can discover these creatures called Foodies. You can take care of and fuse your Foodies,then you can play as them.

(That's probably too much for our first project, but we can just do it piece by piece and maybe even take a break at some point and start a new project.) Concept art for the player. Pretty bad if I do say so myself XD. So, Artists/Spriters, please try to make a better version of this sprite as a start. The best one gets used, but we may include the other ones as secrets.

ok

First 2 = Walk 3rd = Yolk-Board! Use it to surf across dangerous water! 4th-6th = Yolk-Copter! Use it to fly over dangerous gaps! Just don't fall and scramble yourself! Last = It's a Yolk Powered Drill! Use it to drill through large blocks of stone!

here's my first version i'll update you later.

Great sprites Guzma! Also, nice ideas for abilities! We're definitely adding them in. But first, let's wait for the others.

kewl

screenshot 2,

can I just do the script instead?

and the story for the game cuz im not that good at programming

theres the first lines of story.

Aidan, the characters you save should have a bit more variety. They're things like crops and such. Eggbert.. seems like a debatable name. Also, your story seems fine, but here's my take. (you can implement in game.) Ahem..

oh ok then...

So you live on a farm with your fellow Foodies. But then your brother,who was cast out for being a rotten egg, starts a rumor that there's an evil virus on the farm. So all of the Foodies leave and enter the dangerous wild. It's up to you to brave the wilderness and round back up the Foodies!

What do you guys think?

??? not sure how its much better but i'll see what i can do.

here you go. i'll keep adding things on. and editing.

Thanks for the feedback. Also, should it be top-down or a platformer? Then I'll start working on the engine. Also, Guzma, can you give me a key to the spritesheet?

@Aidan That first part is in need of better tone and punctuation, but the rest of it is actually very well done! So, I guess platformer it is!

Start of story (Before the brother part)

Just use Regular sprites to test platforming, because i am still editing sprites on the sheet (Other Eggs, and Chickens)

okay isn't are team supossed to be a little bit bigger?

Guzma, I love the idea! So, the part Aidan made can be something the first NPC tells you.

@Aidan I'll go contact the other team members.

Thanks ^_^

lol here some more with a monty pithon reference at the end should the game have references from other games and movies or should they be eastereggs.

also can some characters be named after us like the leader of the ressistance can be guzma etc.

@Aidan I love that segment! That place in which you meet that Foodie should be in some sort of ice mountain area, and instead of teaching you the controls, he teaches you just the Yolk Copter. Also, I'm fine with references if done right (like that one).

@Aiden Yes, they can be named after us. @Guzma Could you please give me a key to that spritesheet? I can't start development until I have it.

I wanted the control tutorial to be complete because people dont really like unfinished tutorials also how do i save my progress?

Tap DIRECT. Then type SAVE"filename"

Guzma forget what I said, I didn't see your other comment.

Or click the L button and tap save "filename"

What are u guys doing. I am interested

we're a game making team isaac

Isaac, do you want to join? Also, making progress!

great job can you change it to a snow level though? read the bottom of the script for details

also should i skip and write the script for after you complete the first level?

I'm making this one for the intro level. The next map I'm making will be that level. Also more progress.

And do write the script for after completion, please.

I think I've done enough for today; I've already finished the placeholder for the intro level. And I only have 2 posts left on this account anyways, so bye! We're making great progress!

ok I'll work some more on the script its really fun working with ya'll!

what should the game be called

Eggquest

im gonna start a small side project called the life of me

here it is we can do it as a side project later ok im done posting for today bye

Could you give me a key so i could help code!

Hey guys! Could I join? I'm a decent programmer, just tell me what to do and all the keys to the source!

Script

First few important characters

omg i keep forgetting screenshots! >:(

guzma I think we are only going to need that last peice of script from you and the names so your main focuse should be sprites i can do the script.

and the villain is your brother so we dont need the farmer all that much

@something... here's a bit more script also in the volcano you can only be in there 5:00 min max and for the lake level theres the first boss which is a giant fish that you brother brain washes.

@MSWS Of course you can join! We'll need all of the help we can get. Also, great job guys!

hey wada ya think of the idea for the first boss

@Isaac Are you actually joining or do you just want the game? We haven't started any major programming yet. @Guzma Could you start work on the the Title Screen? You don't have to add the name because we haven't agreed on one yet.

@Aidan It seems good as a boss for a water cove.

how about eggquest thats what i named the project file

ok can you start working on the levels now we should probably get as much done as possible we just need to show our work.

I already finished the first room of the intro level, but what command do I use to load the map? (P.S. Tell me when the discussion is at 90 posts)

sorry i dont know but heres some more script also guzmas house will act as a HUB

Well, It would be better if the whole world was the HUB world, and then you access doors that lead to seperate levels because the game is supposed to be an adventure game. But Guzma's house should be where you can access some levels.

@Aidan Also, here's some help on sprites because you're going to need it. First, go to the Smile tool and select PAINT, then on the bottom screen you can select the area of sprites you want to select. Then, on the top screen you will see the coordinates for the sprite. These will come in handy later.

ok thanks heres more script

Go back to the script and then type in the ID number for the sprite first, which you will use for any changes to the sprite (0-511). Then put a comma and then the X,Y coordinates for the sprite, seperated by commas as shown above. SPSET 0,0,258

Then do SPSCALE 0,1,1 if the sprite doesn't load. That also increases the size by X, then Y. (Everything having to do with XY coordinates is set up like X,Y). Now to change where the sprite is, do SPOFS 0,X,Y.

I'll teach you loading seperate spritesheets later when you need to know.

Your brother should not be the villian, thats kinda dum

guzma it was already decided.

has anybody made any progress today?

Well, now that I think about it, your brother shouldn't be the villain but just the cause of your quest. But then the villain can't be a farmer, either, because the Foodies are sentient and don't need any indirect help. (Though a huge battle with the farmer with all of the Foodies teaming up to take him down would be pretty epic)

I'm closing this discussion and opening a new one. Don't forget to join!
