Shame on me.

Ahroo make circular creeps like the BLaster Towers ones :D

Ahroo 13 years ago

Okay, I'll start enemy conceptualization... I'll give you a good variety to choose from. :p

birjolaxew 13 years ago

"why not make the inhabitants blocks, too" Hmm.. Good idea actually

"Who says only HUMANS are mining this place? :P" *Walks to corner and cries*

No, seriously, that's some pretty nifty ideas.

Ahroo 13 years ago

O okay. :p

*rips off MFQT again* xD

Nawz, if this is block-land, then why not make the inhabitants blocks, too? :p

EDIT: Or... another idea. Who says only HUMANS are mining this place? :p

birjolaxew 13 years ago

Of course! Nearly forgot! Anyway, what about.. Erhm... Damnit, can't think of any enemies! Try to make some yourself :D

Ahroo 13 years ago

Oh! I almost forgot... why not enemies, too? :p

Ahroo 13 years ago

Oh, VERY helpful, DY. xP

You can vector in photoshop, but i dont know how to save it, or get color into it.

Ahroo 13 years ago

Oh, okay... 1024x1024 BG it is. This could take a while. :/

birjolaxew 13 years ago

You don't xD Get yourself a vector editor... Or make the background 1024x1024 maybe even 2048x2048... I'll research it a bit (a.k.a spam JP's inbox)

Ahroo 13 years ago

... How do you vector in paint?! O_O'

Hexicube 13 years ago

Ahroo doesn't do vector :P
[edit] GIMP has "Tileable Blur" o.O

birjolaxew 13 years ago

Yeah! Backgrounds! Anyway, no idea. Make it vector, so much easier to resize

Ahroo 13 years ago

Okay, so now what? We'll need a BG... specify size?:/

Hexicube 13 years ago

noise filters are cool :P
i'm gonna make 32x32 tiles and see what they look like :3

birjolaxew 13 years ago

Another reason is that you used a noise filter...

MarioIsFireball10 13 years ago

Hurry up,this looks cool!

Hexicube 13 years ago

the reason my tiles don't work properly is because when I started I thought it was top-down XD
it's basically become a wierd version of motherlode where you move minerals around rather than collect loads...

Ahroo 13 years ago

It's $4000 to $5000... :p

BTW here's the new stuff that's approximately accurate, Paint only takers integers so I put 106%. :/

SPOILER

Hexicube 13 years ago

lol...not really...

Ahroo 13 years ago

My dad's monthly salary, remember? >:p

Hexicube 13 years ago

lol...i'll take it you have a lot of money if you're buying CS4 and an AS3 book...

Ahroo 13 years ago

November 10 isn't very far off... ':_

EDIT: oh wait, nevermind. xD

BTW we might need a background... :/

birjolaxew 13 years ago

Erhm... No. I do know how to in Python, but I'll have to learn AS3 first. Noticed the release date? That should give me plenty of time to learn it from a book I bought (Which should've been shipped a week ago, but hasn't arrived yet... Lazy mail man...).

Hexicube 13 years ago

"I have little to no experience with ActionScript" I doubt it
I put an example map with my tiles in the tile folder

Ahroo 13 years ago

Okay... are you SURE you know how to script all this? :/

birjolaxew 13 years ago

The example map is kinda like a zoomed in example. I'll add automatic zooming into the game, so if you have a fucking huge map it'll zoom out as far as it can, and make it scrollable, and if you have a tiny-biny map, it zooms all the way in.

Ahroo 13 years ago

The example map looks kinda cool... try with the smaller ones? :/

EDIT: Okay, resizing now... :/

Pixelized - Official Thread

What is Pixelized?
Pixelized is a future game, currently being developed by birjolaxew. It's in the development state, and - due to different obstacles - it won't be released to the public before 2011. It will probably go into testing state early-middle 2011.

What's the gameplay?
In Pixelized, the current idea is that you - the player, will be a small pixelated man trapped in a block world. Carrying specific blocks with you (Each block acting it's own way) you'll have to build your way through puzzles. A great example of the whole block concept can be found in the 3D game "Minecraft". Notice, that details can change during the development.

What have you done by now?
As of 17/11/10, I'm fiddling with the BL API, Flash and the basic game. I'll upload a "game" soon, but it won't be actually playable, and therefore I wont add any testers.

What blocks will be included?
A list of the blocks currently planned:
Dirt (Affected by gravity)
Stone (Not affected by gravity)
Mud (Not affected by gravity - Created by dirt blocks, directly touching water)
Ice (Not affected by gravity - Slippery, only available in winter mode)
Snow (Affected by gravity)
Sand (Affected by gravity - Found near bigger areas of water)
Gravel (Affected by gravity - Created by stone blocks, directly touching water)
Undestroyable (Used to block of parts of the level - Can't be placed/mined)

Where will it be released?
Right here, on BonusLevel.

Screenshots
Ahroo made us some game graphic (Great work I must say). I've put them together, to make an example of how a regular map will look while zoomed in.
Example of a map

Any way to keep track of the project?
Most certainly. I've made a blog, located here

Please check my next post for further information.
