New game in development
None of this is final and I wont be making any promises as this project is bowned to change over time. feel free to give me ideas for what you would like to see in the game in the future.
Gday Mates. I’m currently working on a game that is currently a prototype. It consists of programmer art right now but will be fully drawn and detailed at the end of development. I started working on it yesterday when I came home from work. It currently consists of 3 modes, Target Practice Mode, Point and click Mode, Space Mode (All of which are currently functional). I am making the game in GameMaker as I am very experienced in the program as I’ve been using it for the past 10 years.
I’ve had to cancel another game dev project I was working on due to the game not living up to my expections and it getting to difficult to work with as I decided that I wanted it to be browser based which was impossible in its current form. With that project taking up to 6 months on and off to work on.
What is the Idea
This new project will be browser based and can run on not only Newgrounds but also my own website that I have been developing for a little bit now. It will be mostly a point and click style of gameplay but will deviate to different modes to prevent repetitiveness. I’ve come up with 3 modes at the moment, but I’m hoping to make atleast 6.
I’m thinking it will be centered around my characters Dip and Bump as the previous game I was working on was centered around them, But not only that I just love the characters in general. I am kinda inspired by Sam & Max Hit The Road so the gameplay should be similar but of course I’ll be adding my own unique spin to it.
I wanna add a boss system where u can fight bossess with increasing difficulty. I know how to do that as I’ve done it before with previous projects but the difficult thing is trying to balance things out without overly complicating the game itself.
I will be figuring out a story as I want there to be a sense of adventure. no idea what it will be yet though but will be planning as I go.
Target Practice Mode
Shoot the balloons and they will pop, this functions as a test for future target modes.
Point & Click Mode
Point at a spot you want to mvoe to and there your player will move to that spot. This will function as a way to move around normal levels.
Space Mode
You can fly with the space ship in the center of the screen by pressing the arrow keys, Press space bar to shoot lazer and hit astroids and enemy ships to destroy them and break em into pieces.
Conclusion
Even though the game doesn’t seem that interesting now, I will be trying to make the gameplay, story and visuals as interesting as I can. who knows maybe the game will be boring, but I will let you all be the judge.
I will keep you all updated as major developments come!
