Hullo, this is the topic for all my games and crap I'm making, I decided to move everything into one compact topic.

FOR THOSE THAT CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE CONTROLS


U is the universal "use" key, if you look at the spell icons in the "Power" bar, you will see each of them have a letter, Blaze has B, Teleport has T, and so on. If you bring your cursor over the icons they will give you extra info on the spells.

R is the "cancel" key, if you have a spell selected, press R to revert your cursor to normal, or destroy a skeleton you are controlling.

To cast a spell, press the hotkey, example - Press F for fireball, you cursor should change, now put the cursor where you want to shoot the fireball, over a tree for example, now press U.
Get it? F selects fireball, U casts it!

To use Skeleton, press S to select the spell, bring your cursor over the corpse of a dead human, press U, he should ressurect as a skeleton.
Now press the arrow keys to move the skeleton, and space bar to attack.
If any other spell is cast or you press the release button, he is destroyed.

To teleport items, bring your cursor over a rabbit or coal, then press T to select the spell, press U over the rabbit or coal and it will appear in your "Food/Hunger" bar, now bring your cursor over the food and/or coal and press U, it will appear in your creature's lair, bring your cursor over the rabbit/coal to attract your creature towards it.

To use blaze, press B to select it, then press U anywhere, creatures will be blown away.

Now, for the most confusing spell, to use Dark Tower, set a patch of grass on fire (the green stuff that waves back and forth) to do this shoot a fireball at it, now, press D, put your cursor over the coals, and press U, a tower will come out of the ashes and it will shoot lightning periodicly, no need for you to do anything else.

Those are the basics of the control mechanics.

Bleed Alpha V.01b</span>

August 14, 05, Updates
Many of the main character's animations in Bleed are now complete, not including weapon animations.

The alpha is far off, but keep a look out.

With Troop's sounds I've managed to add a few more things to the mold, it's actually quite atmospheric now.

Thanks for all your help.

August 15, 05, Updates
The zombie sprite is completed.
First screenshot!

August 23, 05, Updates
<span style=\'color:red\'>The first alpha has been released! A alpha fix is on it's way.

Etc.
Attack Animation - A slighty choppy and color transmogrified clip of the sword animation.

Animation2- A slower but higher quality GIF of the attack animation.

Cool i never have liked platformers but ooh ooh sign me up as lead tester for that one cause that sounds like its gonna ROCK!

Blah! Slaughter mindlessly! Whooooohhoooooo!

I know doesnt it sound perfect :)

What could be more perfect then mindless slaughter?

Mindless slaughter and hot coffee? LOL

And a slice of pizza. Gotta have the food when slaughtering.

godDamn! I wanna play Bleed! it looks sounds so kickass.

You have a fan following now.THAT MEaNs DONT CaNcEL IT!!!!

Whoa, didn't know it would become so popular :D .

Evil's Playground was more of an experiment, Bleed is a game I'm pouring myself into, don't expect it to come out TOO soon though, I'm workin' hard but it'll take awhile.

WORK HARDER!

WELL, maybe a pic of the character you play as will calm you down, give me a little bit.

Need a website for Your games?

Actually yes...
That would be a good idea, what exactly are you proposing?

That im a damn fine website creator :)

:D

Well then maybe we can do something, just tell me how it would work out.

would it be better if i gave you a example my aim is navigatorschool5 so we can usre that to communicate

Hope the website turns out great. Need to spif it up for blood pig productions :ok:
Should make the background reflect the seriousness of the uber Playground and Bleed games.

Bleed isn't exactly serious.
I mean it's gory and dark, and the story is serious, but there are some black humor moments.

Example, one point in the game there's a old drill sergeant that's been transmogrified into a sword (how it happened will be revealed ingame), he know lives a posh and comfortable life as a gentleman. Yet if you throw up blood on his good carpet, smash pottery in his house, and cause general chaos, he'll let off a lot of cursing and vulgarity. It's kinda funny cause you get to use him as a weapon later and he screams insults when you kill enemies with him.

Sounds like the Cynicism blade from Icewind Dale. Get the idea from the Lilarcor?

Uh, I actually have no clue what you're talking about.

I also have to thank Punch a ton for him helping out.

The +3 sword in the sewer below the copper coronet? You never saw that in BG2? It doesn't complain, but it chatters constantly LOL

Ooooh, that really annoying thing that I threw away?
No, it's kinda different, that sword didn't cause enemies to instantly explode in a cloud of red.

LOL No it didn't. But you could make it do that if you edited it :ok:

Intelligent weapons have been in the minds of people for a long time, but I think it would suck to be turned into one, especially if you couldn't move on your own LOL

The shot of the main character is gonna be up real soon.

Sweet. I hope it is ugly as hell.

What do you mean ugly?
I think it's a good lookin' sprite. (Not in terms of how sexy the character is)

Good looking for a sprite, but ugly in character appearance :D

He's not really ugly, but he is who he is, and here he is!
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/818/hale4bj.png

where are the arms?

He has one that he whips out of his cloak along with weapons to blow people away.
It makes for ultra cool animations :D .

cool :)

He only has one then? Hard to do the cross the arms behind the back bit when you are leaning on a wall isn't it? :D

Looks cool, I still think he should have even more weapons of mass mutilation.

He has WAY more than I listed.

Each level actually introduces a couple of new weapons.

Cool. Any of them turn someone into a blood-spraying piece of bacon?

Umm maybe the toaster gun?

Toaster? You make bacon in the microwave and the skillet. So it would be the FRYER gun LOL

ohhhh fine the fryer gun............sheesh

If you look at Jazz Jackrabbit1 and Ren and Stimpy, you can see the variations of Toaster guns. I like the Jazz one, but putting someone in a giant toaster might be funnier :sneaky:

HAHA a CQC weapon (close quarters combat) take a microwave out of your cloak and shoves the enemys head in there! LOL

Hey, BP, nice project yer working on.
Idea for a weapon: Stakegun (like in Painkiller).

It'd be really cool to then shoot it at enemies and watch them being carried away on to a wall or smth. :D

I think it wold be beter IMHO if the WEapons were all original

Wow, sounds great.
I'll try to find a way to implement it, but the problem would is the engine's limitations, I'll definatly try though.

Oooh, an Iron Maiden. He pulls the box with spikes out of his cloak and stuffs people in there :sneaky:

then blood seeps out of the cracks

Seeps, sprays, its all good.

Will you be able to bring up a secret sexual minigame in this LOL!?

Heh there's another weapon called the Pumpkin Crusher which is a giant metal mallet.
Makes people's heads go boom.

does he make a fool swing or does he stop on the head

edit: i mean does he smash the whole person or just smash the head

Splat! I hope it goes all the way through, see gallagher to that LOL

I hope you just smash the head THen you get to see the head explode and then the body just fall down

He swings it like you would swing a baseball bat if you did it with one hand.
The head and some of the shoulder and back come off.

:ok: Awesome :ok:

Yeah, there can be original weapons and ALSO some copies or smth.
P.S. I think it this the best weapon I've seen in all games. Really grotesque. :evil:

Anyway, Blood Pigggy, try to recreate it partially if not all if the engine allows it. Example, the gun (it's more like a crossbow) shoots and pierces an enemy with a 0.5 meter flaming arrow.
P.S. Could you make a weapon Scythe? The character could rip off the heads of the enemies.

The stakegun in PK.

I think the sword is pretty much the scythe

He already made a slashing weapon, but farmers implements are always more fun.
the game engine might not be able to handle too many weapons :ok:

I have a weapon planned that is like a scythe, except it works like this.
*slices of enemy's head*
*wacks enemy's head at another enemy*
*boom*

I cant see why to many weapons would be a problem

just maybe have the 1-0 buttons for weapons and maybe the qwertyuiop[]\ and the 1-0 if you really have alot

Hey, you can never have too many weapons. :D

what about a nailgun

I think I'm going to change my avvie, it's too similiar to punch's.
I'm trying not to put in too many weapons.
As it'll be more work for me :D .

Shift and ctrl, alt f buttons? maybe even shift 1-0 buttons and what not. Thats thirty weapons there :ok:

Why not use the mouse scroll like in Abuse??? :blink:

Could have just asked me to change mine SInce I hate it

Oh and understand you can have 10 weapons and announce it as version 1 and always have room to continue adding additions

reply to troop

simplicity

Yes, keep the minor scouts from knowing about the big guns until you are done with them :sneaky:

Yeah, pin them to a wall, then back up and mutilate them, or spray blood on them :evil:

I can only do what the engine allows me, so no mouse scroll.
I wish I could, but it doesn't work.
You all remember Doom, I'm sure you can change the weapons with the number keys.

P.S. This thread has gotten popular.

A stakegun works the same way. Duhhh. :tai:

A steak gun would be delicous...
Mmmm.... Steak....

With Bleed coming out - what did you expect? :D
Just make it a great game. And could you make a skirmish mode (example: there are 10 enemies and another 10 generate in a minute or so so you have unlimited ammo but no healthpacks, know what'am sayin'?).

That'd be great, one thing I REALLY need though...

Someone who can make sounds for the different effects, I can't find any good ones.
And some good music that'd fit the game.

Well if Rock is what yer after than I could sample some from PK (like "Bridge", "Opera and Castle"...).
If by sounds you mean:
enemy hit,
player hit,
guns firing,
enemy idle.
Then I could try to find those.

P.S. What enemies do we have??? :blink:

Alot of weird enemies and stuff.
And the music can only be MIDI (a crappy limitation I know).
I'd really need to make a list.

Zombies. I know he has zombies.

MIDI???? WHY???? It's a piece of muck. :blink: :cry:

Heh, it's all I can use.
Depending on the type of MIDI it can be really good.

IE, I'm not saying we should use it, but Doom had fantastic music and it was all MIDI, you just need to look around.

I don't have anything I can create midi with. Sorry, but I will not be able to assist if its only midi. :(

We don't need to make it, I just need someone that can get some good stuff for me.
I'm too busy making the game to go out and look for crap.
But if you can make your own sound affects that's cool too.
But yeah, right now there's like one enemy, and it's a zombie.
So I need effects for that.

P.S. The sounds must be Wav. which is standard case.

I could give sounds in .ogg and maybe someone could convert them to midi. Howz bout that? :blink:

The SOUNDS don't need to be MIDI, the music does.
Sounds can only be Wav. though...

OOH is there gonna be kick arse boss fights if there is i want some awsome music in the backround :Brain:

There are some huge bosses in here.
One is a giant organic computer type robot thingy attatched to a wall.

@BP

Why didn't ya say so? :D
I can put some right now.
These are ogg's but you could convert them to wav. It'd be easier due to uploading.

Here.

Wow, where'd you get these?
Or how'd you make em?
Thanks!

Doom3. :D

Name me in Credits if you want. Hehe. :D

I will, I'll say something like (Sounds provided by - Troop18546 , etc.)
That'll be nice.

Cool, need any more sounds?

Well, I need some for the main character.
I don't really have an idea of what he should sound like.
You look at him and find something that you think fits his looks.

O.K.

Here.

These'll work.
Although he doesn't really have feet so I won't use the footsteps. (Maybe for some monsters.
Thanks alot!

Maybe you need floating sounds for your character? :blink:
I'll go check the vault.

Go ahead, you're helping out alot.

Update: Many of the main character's animations in Bleed are now complete, not including weapon animations.

The alpha is far off, but keep a look out.

With Troop's sounds I've managed to add a few more things to the mold, it's actually quite atmospheric now.

Thanks for all your help.

I'll add some tomorrow, cause I'm tired and inneed of sleep. Till then. :bye:

You deserve rest.
Because you is good person.
Methinks.
G'by.

I'm gonna check out winamp see if they have a midi converter. I already have a mp3 maker :ok:
Damn. They don't have one :not_ok:

I got ff6 music, I could convert that :w00t:

You can actually search for FF6 midis online and you'de find something.
It's pretty easy finding it, it's just that I don't have the time to go looking for stuff.

Yeah, that'd be good.

I am recording the tougher fight of FF6, the one with atma.

youre so early in the game dont bother with music yet

at least make the game playable first

I'm getting everything first.
The situation usually is that you don't have enough material later on and you try to cram everything in, instead of planning and putting everything in as soon as possible when it becomes available.

I'm trying to avoid cramming everything in.

Damn midi converter doesn't let me save the midi file. I can listen to it, but thats it.

That MIDI converter is stupid then.
Try using some others.

Hehe... I hope I can find a good one...

Arg, I'm working on the first attack animation, for his sword.
Edit: Halfway to finishing it.
Scratch that, 70%

Theres 4 more midi converters that don't work. What the hell is wrong with people anyway? Putting demo programs that don't have even a minute chance of working.

That's pointless, you're better off searching for the MIDIs, if those things aren't going to work. Try and find something over the net, attatch it if you can.

I reccomend A heavy metal midi because of the theme

I've thought about different themes, like if the area is full of monsters there might be a more urgent battle theme, but not too explosive. When the area is empty, like you're walking around or trying to solve a puzzle, some foreboding music plays, or if you're in a boss fight then some heavy metal comes in.

Puzzle? No constant action man this game is just screaming for constant adreniline pumping action

Well, each area is split into gates, and usually you have to find out how to open to gates.

Sometimes there are random puzzles too, I just don't want it to be constant action because it'll be repetitive.
Tryin to make you think a little bit more.

have enoug weapons and have a practice mode where you get all weaps and press a button to spawn a enemy it will never get old

Dude,
I'm trying to make a game here, I take your advice into consideration, but this is overall what I'm trying to accomplish.
There's going to be alot of adventure qualities in here, I'm definatly going to add a skirmish mode, cause you guys have great ideas. But I want the singeplayer game to a unique story-filled experience.

Here's some of the ways I want it to be
-Intense action seperated by puzzles and NPC conversations
-Extensive dialouge choices
-Interesting and well written story.

Dont get me wrong I respect what your saying its just puzzke and gory adreniline filled action to me has never been a great combination of genres but. Its your game do what you wish.

Yeah. there are enough kill and slaughter spin offs already. A rpg slaughter would be better than just complete hack and slash, Punch.

Okay, is gonna be cool, believe me, just wait till it comes out.

P.S. - All the alpha will be is probably a skirmish mode like that, ten enemies, spawn a few more later, get a few weapons, choose from a few different arenas, and go wild.

Not really a RPG, take it as a Action Adventure.
I do suppose RPG elements come into your blood consumption though.

But Rpg means roleplaying game And its not a RPG its a puzzle platformer game thats gona get leiberman pissed off

Here's the midi of the sound I was trying to make. I just went and got it from Nerologic.

Also one from Terranigma.

Let me know if you think they would fit anywhere.

Sounds much more like a Battle Theme...

Fierce Battle I mean, mmm, it's good, I think I might use it.
Not that sure about Dark Gaia,
Can you get some more?

Yeah. I can get the whole site LOL

Give me a link to it instead then.
I'll give you credit as "Resource provider"
:D

http://nerologic.com/. Look under the Music tab. He doesn't seem to break it up though.

*MEEEEEEEEEP* but be sure to use the music for this :ok:

Under Final Fantasy 5, check out Evil Lord Exdeath.






Content edited to preserve slightly.

Cool a music site for old midi game files!

Heh, okay.
Good news, the first attack animation is complete.
Here's a little descript of it.
1. His cloak billows out a bit.
2. His hand comes out.
3. Sword slides down.
4. He makes a few quick slices.
5. Retract cloak + hand.

may we see it

I have no idea how I would accomplish that.

You mean a screen shot?

Is it a gif image?

Actually no, I assemble the image frame by frame in the editing tool.

It works like a slideshow actually, you put one pic, then the other, and change the position each time.
It's like claymation then it plays it.

is there a option to change it to a gif like game maker has.

check

Where might I find this...
I don't know how that would work.
The ingame animation is alot faster than the one when I'm editing it.
It'll look stupid, you guys will think it sucks.
It looks ALOT better in game.

Just look for it I know game maker has that option

Hmmm. You can make a gif you know. You want a nice program? I can email you a program called BAM workshop, it can import frames and make a gif image. There are many other programs, but I like my BG stuff :D

where do you think my sparkle came from?

There ya go Pigggy.

I really can't see it anywhere, and this is the Pro edition. (Which, I... uh... "payed for"... yes...).
K, gimme a link Blast

P.S. - Punch, remember the finish the webpage :D .
I can probably host it on Freewebs, as I have not enough income to afford a domain name.

Agh! I need to export each frame of animation!

Import all the frames into a sequence, then save it as a gif. You could email me all the frames and i will sequence them for ya :ok:

Ok,

I'm prolly going to hit the sack soon, I'm tired beyond belief.
(I think it may be our adventures on the MSN gaming Zone Blast :bleh: )

Ok, here are the pics for every single frame, numbered in order.
I warn you, they shift back and forth (Like they aren't all exactly aligned in the same exact coordinates) but they should work.

Yeah, probably. Who would've known the stupidity of such things? :bleh:

:D

By the way if you missed it, I uploaded the animation frames in a post (like the last one).

And here is the compiled file. It may be too fast now :D

It's actually faster.
And the colors are a bit messed up.
If anyone wants to see it just click on Blast's link.

So is mine better? or the game's version of it?

The game's version of it, it's meant to be like a lightning fast speed attack.
But it gets the message across, I don't really expect the GIF editor to maintain every aspect.
I've also updated the main post with this :D .

I've got to go now, big day tommorow (not really).

Yup. It's either bad colors, or very slow. The actual game should play it wonderfully.

As far as the movie and the sprite, I notice the frames in the animation are different from the ones in the zip file. I like the frames in the zip file better persoinally and think you aught to go with those as they are more detailed and actually quite fabulous, and the ones in the video are good too, but not as detailed and the colors don't mix on his tattered clothes in the videos, whereas the colors on the frames in the zip file match perfectly. I give this sprite a total thumbs up. It rocks. :w00t: Good job. I like the color choices. The blood and ghost like figure is very creepy yet very cool. Keep up the good work. :ok:

Wheee!
I got a A!

:D

Not an A, an A++ :D

Yeah, so you think the slow image would be better? It fully captures the colors.

Well here it is. The speed is not something I can change, without obviously sacrificing color quality.

Uhm, not the ones in the video but the image fames yes. =P

Well, there it is. Everyone should check one of the two out. Artists the second, gameplayers the first. If you do heavily with both, then perhaps you can post something even better :ok:

Well it will be cool nontheless, but the speed should be medium (not superfast or superslow).
Anyway, cool. Do you need any sounds or my favorite (consept art). I could draw you some enemies or bosses or smth.) :whistle:

Believe me, it does NOT look good in medium speed, it looks like he's poking something.

I do need sounds for weapons, like a sword and gun etc.
As for concept art, I'm largely clueless on how the enemies will look so feel free to whip up anything for the following.

MALIC - A organic computer being with a large red eye (think HAL) a very important character in the game plot.

Saminia's Minions - All I know is that they have to be largely disfigured human/scorpion hybrids.

P.S. Two animations now, Blast, I like them both, one to capture colors, and one to capture speed. (By the way the sprite is much larger in these gifs so it's going to look alot sharper in the game.

I'll try my hand at doing the computer beast creature :P

Heeey, go ahead.
By the way, the zombie sprite is almost complete, gimme a little bit and it'll be good to go.

Update: The zombie sprite is complete! View it in all it's glory!

<a href=\'http://imageshack.us\' target=\'_blank\'><img src=\'http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/2700/zombie3um.png\' border=\'0\' alt=\'user posted image\' /></a>

Here's the freaky computer organicoid creature. I made him as gross and spooky as possible to fit the style of the zombie and the ghosty main character guy. Here he is. Let me know what you think. EDIT: if you can't tell, theres an eyeball in his hand and hanging from his mouth for extra spookiness. Hope its not too wierd. :P

He's really damn cool, but there's one thing that I wish you could've done.
I sorta hoped the colors would be more simplistic (there're less colors and not that bright) but it's great and I'll probably just change a few things myself and then it'll suit my needs.
(It's prolly going to look worse when I'm done with it, but I'm trying to make it fit into the game more).

Nevermind, when I bring it into the editor the colors transmute along with it.

It's ok, your sprites are really good, I didn't know you wanted simple colors, sry I didn't realize that or I would've done it that way. Can't wait to see the finished product. :) BTW the zombie sprite rocks, I can't wait to play your game. ^^

i would like to purchase some stock in the blood pig production company LOL

i really like how the arts going with the simple colors and what not

What kind of weapons do we have? I can get many sounds for you from other games. Give me the list and I'll attach as usuall.
P.S. I shall give you some concept art tomorrow cause I'm not feeling well right now and cannot concentrate on drawing. I'll make the MALIC my own way if you don't mind (Fawful's drawing / My drawing realisations) I will try to realise the Minions too. O.K.? ;)

yo troop you gave him doom 3 sounds right well why not sounds from the imp or the other monsters those would sound awsome

Sure, any sounds will be good, as long as they match pretty well, you know what I mean? Like don't give me Doom 3 sounds then afterwards give me Doom 2 sounds, the quality will be way too off.
I hope you get better Troop, and meanwhile here's a list of the current weapons I need sounds for.

The sword
The Uzi's
Some kind of sound that would fit with the blood vomitting, IE maybe a sound from Blood Omen 2.

How rude. You need my permission to edit my drawing. <_<Not you pigggy Troop.

He's not editing it, he's contributing by making his own version of it.
I probably want to get something from everyone so that if I can't decide how to make a enemy I can look off of someone else's ideas.

I don't care about that, he can draw one if he wants, I actually want to see what he does with it, I just got perturbed cause I thought he meant he was going to edit my sprite. Sry. :P

How rude. You need my permission to edit my drawing. <_<Not you pigggy Troop. [/b][/quote]
I won't edit. Just attach. :tai: :angel:

O.K. First attachment.

I shall do my best from cool games (mainly Doom3 (don't worry I can take any sound you want, be specific if you want) and PK).

Second attachment.

Third attachment.

Fourth. (Maybe you can use this as an opening sound or smth...)

Heh, slow down a bit there.
Thanks alot.

If you need sounds for imp-like creatures (maybe the minions) then try these.

For big muthaf*ckas like hellknights.

Hey, get some sounds from the Assualt Rifle in Doom 3.
Oh, and the Painkiller sounds don't really fit with a sword, didn't it come from the primary weapon?

What assault rifle? Do you know the exact name of the gun? I dont remmember it.
P.S. The PK sounds don't fit in with the sword very well, but that was all I could find for a sword. I'll try some other games.

Umm, have you played Doom 3?
I'm thinking not, but oh well, there's a automatic weapon you get in Doom 3 early on, I forgot the name but it's like the Assualt Rifle from Halo.

The mini SMG? I can give you the sounds for this.
P.S. OFCOURSE I PLAYED DOOM3. :blink:

The mini machinegun sounds.

I might be able to get whacking sounds from BG. Can use those for the zombie sounds, or even the sword sounds :ok:

Also various other sounds, like dread wolf sounds or stuff. I can get all of it :w00t:

Anything is good, I really need sounds for the sword now.

Alright, here is sword sounds, if someone can string all four of them really quickly then it will sound like he swipes quickly.

Thanks.
I also have a bit bad news.
I had a death animation for the zombie, but it ended up that it SUCKED, so I have to start over with his death animation (the first of the two for the sword.

I used sound recorder to string them all together and it sounds GREAT.
Here's the finished product.

I actually had to speed it up more to sync with the animation, but it's perfect.
Here's the speeded up one.

Here is the first Ochre jelly splut noises. I suggest using them for contact sounds from the bullet weapons :ok:

Cool. Anything else we need? :blink:

And splut 2

Yeah, BG is loaded with awesome sounds :ok:

LOL, I'm set for now, unless anyone would like to find a voice for the character.
Like a few thing he can yell while fighting enemies, like "Die".
For a little variety.

The sounds there currently are.
The main character now grunts when he jumps, it varies how he grunts, so you're never bored :D .
The zombie moans.
The sword swings back and forth.

How can he jump? He didn't have feet :D

I have some Dire wolf sounds that sound pretty cool. There is even a chewing/slobbering sound in there. Should I upload it?

If you need electricity sounds or fire sounds I can hook you up :ok:

Just gimme what you got.
He's partly mechanical, every now and then he lets loose a small cloud of smoke from the bottom of his little shredded loincloth thingy.
So, he propels himself into the air.
What kind of platformer doesn't have jumping?
So, I guess I need one of those steam hiss sounds too.

Alright, here is the bigWolf section 1

CACAW!
I have no idea why I did that.
Do you have any Planescape Torment Sounds?

Here.

Yeah. I got the whole series sounds.

Bigwolf 2

Big wolf 3

Is there any specific sound you want from Torment?

I found the perfect voice for him.
A PS:T voice pack at the Sorcerer's place is full of Vhailor clips.

hmm, I've got some decent mp3 junk here.. anyone got an mp3 to midi converter?
and I just read all 13 pages.. *phew*

Well if they don't have what you need, I can get it for ya :ok:

Last Big Wolf

LOL, yer silly.
Those Vhailor clips don't work, none of my media players can recognize the files.
Blast, do you have Planescape installed at this moment?

Well, I tried to get one but they all sucked. I got mp3s too :bye:

Yeah, I got it installed. You want Vhailor's soundset?

Here's the behind steam you wanted :D

Mmm, something weird happened when I posted that, it was meant to go after yours but it went before.

Whoa. Vhailor has more soundfiles than Annah or Fall From Grace!

Yes, I want the soundset please.

Is the character an uber-whacker for justice like vhailor?

Yep.
Try to get the entire set.
I wonder if the line "Justice is not blind, for I am it's eyes" is voiced.

For I am HER eyes, you mean. Yes, it is.

I am going to start packaging it for upload now :ok:

Some of these files are WAY too big for upload (400 kb) But I can probably just email them to you :ok:

Don't you patronize me beeotch.

:D

Thanks alot, how're you gonna get it all up though?
(You just actually made me want to play Planescape again)

O.K. I thunk HAL. :D

What is this supposed to accomplish!?
Aaah!

Absolutely nothing. Relax man. :max:

Ok pigggy, Check your email, I sent you the Vhailor soundset :ok:

Thank you sirrah.

BP, when is the game coming out? Hurry, man, hurry.

Hell, it ain't comin out soon, but Blast.
VHAILOR'S VOICE IS PERFECT!

Hehehehe. :sneaky:

Yeah, I listened to all of those before I decompressed them :ok:

I've actually added alot to the game today, I think I'll take a break. ( for like 10 minutes )

There is no rest for the living. There is less rest for the Dead...
:D

You should make the character say this at the beginning of skirmish mode

At the beggining of the game text in blood appears on the screen as he says "Justice is not blind, for I am her eyes" spelling it out, then when its done blood slowly creeps down the screen and turns it completely red, where it fades to the menu.

when are we gona get atleast a one weapon no monster or 1 monster tech demo

Why're you rushing me?
Wait awhile, I'm trying to get things right.

Sweet. :ok:
You gotta find a use for the various different "Torment" statements that he has at the bottom of his sound list.

Though I am not sure the sound of What can change the Nature of a Man will fit in there. Maybe if you have him coming in at the start of the game as he is looking at a zombie :crazy:

I'm not gonna put everything in there, just what I need.
Oh Punch, I'm not giving an exact date, but once in-game shots start appearing, the tech demo is really damn close.

Ok thats good

Due to an unfortunate accident, all progress on Bleed has been lost.
I'm sorry to say it's cancelled, more details can be found HERE.

Oh no, *sniffle* LOL

Bleed is gonna be great :Brain:

Heh, me and Punch arranged this. First ingame screen is going to come out very soon.

THANK GOD

So soon? Sounds awesome.

I have to warn you, don't get any impressions from it, the end result (first beta release) will be much better looking. That is after the tech demo and the alphas come out.

Well yeah. The first initial releases always hide the full glory and potential of the true product.

Soon we all can go :sniper: the zombies

Skirmish mode will prolly be in there. With the first release.

OMG I'm glad that was just a joke cause I had a freakin heart attack. :bleh: LOL

LOL,

I'm busy making the walking animation for the zombie (I have no idea why I haven't done this earlier) and I've been blessed, because usually the walking animations kill me, yet I'm actually doing well.

The walking animations kill you? You should be good at wreaking havoc of justice on their faces :D

Death animations = Irratating
I have two death by sword animations for the zombie which currently are
-Slice up his crotch and face
-Cut him in half

Think I should change one of them (haven't actually made the animations yet.)

So you are going to change a blank page. :P

Actually, making them would be easy. All you gotta do is grab said half of body, and pull it away a little bit at first, etc. Then you add the zombie guts :ok:

Well, easier then fixing a TV :D

The hard part is making the torso fall face down, which is where I have to completely redraw it at a different angle.

for the cut in half one just half each side the left fall left and right fall right

Heh, I'll actually change the crotch one two a complete half slice.
I'm not saying it's "impossible" to do a torso mutilation, it just takes awhile.
It will definatly NOT take as long as the walk animation took, which took me about 30 minutes for 6 frames.

In paint, I think you can rotate a picture by such and such degrees.

Does it like screw it up?
In the editing tool I never rotate because it messes it up, it likes makes everything into a splotch.
Wait let me test it.

Wait nevermind, I've used rotate in paint before.

Agh, Walking animation = done.
Screenshot = soon, but prolly not today.
Any questions about what'll be in the game?

Got a number on the total quantity of weapons?

What kind of story and characters are there? What are you using to make this game?

I'm not going to reveal what I'm using to make the game. :D
Cause I'm stupid like that.
Total quantity of weapons in the entire game is undecided, but the tech demo will prolly have 5 or 4 (not that much, but to keep you interested in the others).

As for the story and characters, I'll be revealing the story ingame, and the characters are going to vary wildly, you'll hardly see a similair NPC in the game.
If you look at the character sprites I've shown you'll see it's somewhat cartoony.

Yeah, I guess total weapons would be hard to count if you counted Environmental weapons, and weapons like furniture or decoration.

How many melee weapons that are actual weapons (not chairs) have you made so far?

Unfortunatly only one weapon exists thus far, but expect another from the end of tommorow (and at least one screenshot.

The sword, right? :D

Do you have a weapon description type thing in game? If you need weapon description pics I can get out my Crusader: No Remorse Manual, they got nifty grey pics in there :ok:

Might even give you ideas on how to draw up some of the other weapons.

FIRST SCREENSHOT,
OMG, IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN! I UPSET THE NATURAL BALANCE!! AAAH!

Here it is :
Showdown in the Courtyard -
http://img327.imageshack.us/img327/843/shot18xz.png

P.S. Yes that would be nice Blast :D

Here's the manual's gun pics.

It rocks. :ok: Nice! I can't wait to play this. It's gonna rock!

That's a bland shot of the courtyard.
I'm busy adding Gargoyles and other fancy supplements.
P.S. Thanks for the Manual Blast, also what do you think of the shot?

You betcha its gonna rock!

The skirmish mode alone will be more than reason for anyone to play this game :ok:

Heck yeh! Booyah! :D

The pic looks awesome :ok:

I'm sad.
No one wants to play the Story Mode?

I actually would prefer sotyr mode. As I have said, I prefer a game with a good story. :D Can't wait man.

That is the best part of someone elses work, of course I would play it :w00t:

It's rude not to.

LOL okay, I wasn't really sad, I was just concerned no one mentions it.

I need a suggestion, would it be a good idea to have to arenas to fight in with the Tech Demo?
The plus is two arenas, but the downside is a longer wait for the demo.
P.S. I'm gonna hit the sack now.

The Tech demo is going to have effective multiplayer? Is it TCP/IP or similar routable or is it IPX (non-routable)?

I doubt the first release will have multi..
how would you do multi? player vs player or players vs monsters?
or players vs players vs monsters ^_^

Prolly only multiplayer there will ever be is two people at the same keyboard.
Where did I say there was multiplayer?
I said who wants to arenas to fight the monstahs in?

Wow, so much progress done. The game should rock.

Thanks Troop.
Another screeny.

-Some pillars I added to the Courtyard
http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/4301/shot29vd.png

These look perfekt. Why not add some clouds and a moon to the sky? They don't have to move, just for the main view. Some creepyness ya'know. And maybe some blood splattered on the road and on these pillars? :blink:

Yep, I'm actually working on the moon right now!
Jeeze, you is pyschic man...
Blood is on it's way, so are a few paved stones, as for blood, I hold that off until I'm done with most of the stuff, just like I did with the zombie.

Ofcourse, set the whole place up :angel: ... wait while everything is in shape :angel: ... while it all seems so calm :whistle: :yawn: ...
THEN SPLATTER IT WITH BLOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!! :evil:

LOL.
The zombie is going to be off guard, he'll be like -
"WTF is happening?"

I'm already "WTF". :eeeeeh:
Off guard... what... he robbing a bank or smth? :blink:
*doesnt get the whole idea...*

No, I think you'd be surprised if the scenery around started to become drenched in blood.

New screeny
Sexy moon!
http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/2601/shot38lh.png

Moon baby, I'd show you my dark side anyday.

Nice :ok: , but make the sky very cloudy. This is supposed to be a SCARY game. Oh well, maybe just gory and whateva.

There are like two clouds floating in the air other than those by the moon.
The clouds slowly pass over the screen.

Cool. But the whole sky is a bit too bright. Maybe you could make it darker?
P.S. Whatv about the enemies A.I.? They morons or smarter? :blink:

We don't want a spongebob zombiepants or anything. LOL

It's a freakin' zombie, do you expect it to be intelligent?
To plus that, I made these zombies blind, if you make noise they'll go in the direction you are.

An easy beggining enemy.
I'll make the sky darker, but it's not supposed to be complete night time.

A supereasy foe.
O.K. when you make it darker and bla bla bla other muck, post a screen.

Ok, here's a semi-completed Courtyard, darker sky and all, I didn't bother adding blood yet, I'll make a different screeny when that's done.

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/8646/shot40ty.th.png

It's a thumbnail, the original pic is too big to put here.
Quality is also kinda blegh, but whatever.

Not bad. :ok:
A few questionz if you will:
More clouds?
Is the main character a one-handed freak?

Yes.
If anyone asks that question again I will beat them.

Ok, here's a detailed sky shot.
http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/175/shot54dn.png

Then how does he fight the guys from the left? LOL
Hope his img flips when fighting the other side or smth.

No, he turns around and hits them.

More clouds?
Does this look better?
http://img287.imageshack.us/img287/1783/shot62jn.png

Note that they'll all be moving ingame.

Nice idea. He a telepathic dude also? :D

Some of the clouds could be lower. More realistic. :ok:

why is there a cloud behind the moon? that is one high up cloud.

Because it looks pretty and it's also a unrealistic game which doesn't take place on earth.

I like that screen a lot, but one thing is bugging me. I think that the moon should be a lot bigger. More menacing. Just a thought. It might make things scarier. Another thing might be to add some spooky dead tree silouettes in the background. Mayeb even some fog. But these are just suggestions, you don't have to listen to them. Just a thought is all. :) But I really like how the game looks so far. I think you are doing a great job. I can't wait to play this. :w00t:

I hope everyone realize stuff like this takes a long time.

If that moon were any bigger it would take me an hour to make it.

Redesigned Courtyard, give me your input
http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/7935/shot75qy.png

I know, thats why I said you don't have to listen to my suggestions. :P BTW If you ever need my advice or help with anything art related let me know. :) I don't think you'll need any help though. You are doing extremely well for one of your first games. :)

EDIT: The courtyard is fantastic! It rocks! Forget changing anything that doesn't need changing! Man, that pwns. :w00t:

Hearing that satisfies me just as much as moving my kneecap in weird directions, which is alot.
I'm going to weird out the courtyard a little more (see above pic).

Can't wait. :D

Cooler than before, waiting like hell for the new game. :D

Here's a somewhat completed courtyard.
Whoo!
http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/5208/shot82xg.png

Nice. :D Maybe you can show us a scene where you slice the zombie?

I'm working on his first death anim now.

Wow! Thats bg rocks! I love the texture you've put on the brick walkway and grass, and how you've managed to splatter blood here and there without ruining the picture. It's really neat. :ok:

Believe it or not, that took very little time to do, just a few dabs in the red palette and I was done.
Of course I was trying to make the blood look right tho'.

We're all waiting for this with our hands open.

Hands open huwah?

By the way, making the gore when the zombie gets sliced in tween all the way down is takin foeva!

Just MAKE it. Also, what happens to the char. when HE gets knocked off?

Blood pours of out every freakin hole in the clothing and afterwards his clothing drift to the ground.

Cooel. :evil:
Hurry up, hurry up... :tai:

Like a wraith? Then he is slightly weaker than Vhailor :sneaky:

For having the zombies fall down I would use Paint's ability to rotate stuff. That is, if you aren't all ready doing so.

Blast did you see all the screenshots I posted?
Whaddya think?

I'm trying to, but so far I've done 3 frames, which means I'm 35 percent done with the anim.

The screenshots look BLOOOOODDDDYYYY AWESOME!
:Brain: :Brain: :Brain:

Really. Go :Titan: on some zombies :ok:

thats awsome i like all the blood on everything hehe

:kosta: i noticed your zombie looks like my avatar LOL

Your avvie isn't bloody enough LOL

i just noticed his zombie has cave man eyebrows mine doesnt LOL

but it looks very promising i just hope theres hoards of monsters instead of that just one

Eventually I am sure there will be, but zombies alone take a lot of work.

Whoa, sorry for the huge pause.
But I hadn't eaten since dinner time last night and had to get some nutrition.

Okay, currently, I met a huge roadblock.
It isn't really a problem, I just need to move a few things, change some triggers, and it'll be done.

But don't expect new screens instantly.

You know that big roadblock?

Um, it took me about five minutes to fix it, so nevermind.

Ha. Roadblocks are nothing to a TANK :D


What's the next monster animation you are going to make?

Wait, here it is!
ZOMBIE DEATH ANIMATION 1!
http://img315.imageshack.us/img315/5307/shot93lp.png

Take that you fruit cake!

Whoa! Now that is some major gore! :omg: Good job. :ok:

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! Sweet! :Brain:

Hats off. :Brain:

Blood pigggy has made an uber graphic. I could compile a movie scene out of it, one going fast but looking like crap, the other slow :D

Eh, I don't think we should make another GIF.
This one only looks good ingame (looks like complete crap when I'm going to the anim editor).
It looks fantastic ingame tho'.

LOL
Well, I said it would.

If everyone had BamWorkshop it wouldn't look so bad. The BAM version of it keeps the color quality. To make the picture sizes smaller, use jpeg instead of bmp, then load it in there. The download link is this:http://www.clandlan.net/download.php...mworkshop2.zip.

Now they won't look so much like crap to everyone :ok:

Well, now I'm looking for MIDI music, so there's something to listen to.

Check out the before said post. You are surely going to find some good stuff there :ok:

Oh.

Still, anyone who has any good MIDI music should put it up, I'm open to anything.

Er, can you post that link again?

Nerologic.com, under Music tab.

For the heck off it...
CARNAGE!
http://img277.imageshack.us/img277/6463/shot106zs.png

Muwahahahah. Does he say "Yield!" when he whacks them?

Eh, I haven't put in anything like that yet.

The SPC sounds can be converted to midi using this file I found.

Of course, at Nerologic you can get the SNESamp for winamp to play them as you would hear them in your SNES.

Now you can check out a SNES music of choice and convert it to midi.

ARGH! I can't find any good MIDI music!

I'm sure one of those games has something you want from it, but good luck finding the perfect song LOL

Damnit, I've listened to every single thing!
Aaah!

YES! I've found the perfect music!
Listen to this!

Eternal Darkness Final Boss Theme

Not to mention that I adore the game it came from.

LOL

It must love you more than me :whistle:

What? What do you mean?

You've looked through all of these?
http://www.snesmusic.org/spcsets/


It says I can't reach the file man :angry:

That's weird for you, I found a nice site I'm looking through right now.
Listen to this.

That's better.

May just be my crap ISP. Stupid local cable :bleh:

Yeah, it does work for me, listening to music from Descent now.

Although repetitave, most music from games is that way :ok:

I like descent, it had decent music :D

Mmm, listening to stuff from Terranigma now.
Pretty boring stuff.

Haha, found the perfect music after all, it fits perfectly.
Here's an attachment if thou wants to listen.

Where'd that one come from? Sounds spiffy.

Soul Caliber 2, great fighting game.
I'm busy making a big gargoyle that's in the middle of the Courtyard, you can jump on it to keep you safe from the zombies that'll be massing below.

to your zombie splitting in half i say :kosta: :Brain: :w00t: :tai: (censored) AWSOME

thats just :sick: hehehe

dammit, if only I had an mp3 to midi converter. hmfies.

Yes, I too think that little pink I put in there works.
It turned out much better than I thought it would.

Check your email pigggy. Transcendency is complete :ok:

Here's a shot of the finished Gargoyle (Thank you Blast)

http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/6643/shot115mw.png

:bleh: You can't get me! Stupid little zombies.

Do they spawn? It would be funny if someone left the game running and there were like 30 of them down there :D

LOL, I'll make a trigger that they spawn every now and then.
Right now I'm trying to add a few things so I can get to the more grunt stuff.
Animations and weapons.

Maybe you can give us a demo tomorrow or smth, cause I really want to make'em bleed in "Bleed". :D

Tommorow?
Wow Troop, you're really impatient, what day is to today?
Tuesday...
Well I can probably post a release date for the end of the week.
I'm working on this night and day!

He isn't a company troop :D

If you rush perfection, it sucks :sneaky:

Alright already, just do it. End of the week? Fine.

LOL.
Just keep a look out.
And don't be so down, it'll be out soon.

What about putting less blood(i know :tomato: )
but at least the path-i think it should be plain just with some blood flowing between the stones not blood-smeared all over it doesnt even look too much like a blood then

I thought so too, but what the heck, it goes by the name.

I agree,
So I changed it to this?
Any better?
http://img286.imageshack.us/img286/7467/shot122ic.png

thats what i meant :ok:

Yay!
Good news for those looking forward to the guns.
I've started work on the pistol.

futuristic look maybe?

I think it looks more like one of those old western guns painted black, see for yourself
http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/7268/shot139dt.png

Did my gun gallery help any thoughts?

It's a bit futuristic, but I did get an idea for the Microwave Gun.

Troop!
I need you to get pistol sounds from Doom 3 please!

i might be annoying but the gun..it could be bit larger,heavier,more massive

It's a pistol, you'll get a lot bigger weapons.
Besides, it looks fine ingame.

Yeah, the microwave gun will be much larger than the pistol :D

Heh, the pistol is done and it can shoot now.
Only prob is I haven't made zombie death anim for it.
I gotta start on that now.

Just make it fall down. Now is a good time for the "splut" sounds :bleh:

Or is this the one that makes it's head go boom?

Nah, the pistol death anim is top of head go boom.
It's so fun to shoot the damn thing!

Okdokey, it should first, make the zombie have a blood fountain spraying from its head, then as the top is coming off, make the rest of the head explode :evil:

I'm on good progress with it.
His head is exploding as planned, as I piece the anim together frame by frame.
Is lookin good!
Anyone got any idea for what the second death anim should look like?

Second?

Yeah, two death anims for each weapon.

..what other weapon are you animating, sry I missed something here. =/

What?
I finished the sword, I did one death anim.
I finished the pistol, working on first death anim.

Oh, you want a second pistol death animation. Ok, how about the bullet goes through the zombies chest and kills it as blood splatters through the gapoing hole and his arm falls off, then he falls apart.

Mmm, a bit too dramatic, I think I'll make it go through his chest, blood pours out, and he falls forward.
Lots of blood on the floor.
Yeah it's boring, but the exploding head makes up for it.

Well, true. =P

Like 50% done with first death anim.

Wow, Sounds sweet :ok:

I'll post a shot of the zombie's head going boom as I shoot it.

I'm shaking with excitement. :w00t:

Wow, one more frame and the anim is done, be on your toes.

*Gets on his toes *

And it's done.
I wanted to take a screenshot of him falling down, put it goes too fast, the best I can do is seconds before he falls.
If you look carefull to the left you can see some of his brain flying, and to his right a chunk of his head is falling.

http://img333.imageshack.us/img333/3521/shot131qs.png
Teehee

Wow! Thats gore galore, but it looks fantastic. Great job as always. :ok:

SPLAT! Looks great :w00t:

Whoo!
Right now, you have to press enter to use the gun, control to use the sword.
I'm changing it right now so you have to press number keys.
It'll work this way.

If you press 1 The sword icon will pop out at the side of the screen, to symbolize that you have it equipped, the icon will have a sword and the number you need to press.
Press 2 is the same, except for the gun.

And so on.

Sweeet. Is there any description of the weapons themselves? Or is it just something you hide in your cloak and whack somebody with?

There are going to be descrips when you pick them up.
(The sword is given to you in a cinematic).
Or if you click on them.

The icons that is.

Time for me to get off the PC.
Another day of work!

So the weapons have descriptions. That's awesome. You need any help with schematics or something? I can do words :D

I can depict the scematics into a description, just like the manual for Crusader. Eh, I'll just email it to ya :ok:

Wha?
Mmm, okay.
Give me what you got.

I can't email it to ya, and I don't know why. And it's too big to post on this site.

You got some other site I can post it on?

Oh, never mind. It let me email it to you now. Stupid email :ranting:

Mmm,
Interesting.
I didn't get it!

Did you look just now? Hmmm....
Should be labeled Modern Age Books or something like that.

It gives all sorts of nifty descriptions of stuff.

No, it's not in my inbox, send it again.

Alright, gimme a second...

I got it this time, thanks.

Hehehe. It even gives good descriptions of shields and detpacks.

Um, is this a word file?
What kind of file is it?
I just get one of those "generic" files.
The one where you have to select from a list.

Read the readme. I set it to say what you needed to do.

Just open crusade file with the Edoc32 file.

Wtf? I only got one file, what're you talkin about?

Ok, I got it Blast.
Whee!

Sheesh man, It's like you are special :roflol:

Just kidding. Kill zombies! :butcher: Kill!

Mmmm, delicious document file.

If I'm not too late, here:

Whee!
Thanks alot. I'm implementing it right now.

:blink:
The game is huge!
I barely have anything in it and the file is 4 meg!
Jeeze.

The sounds should be the resource hogs.

Doublepost.

Err... how are you gonna give us the game???

I'm going to find a file hoster that has a decent speed.

Okay, after I finish the crypt (which spawns zombies) the alpha will be very soon.

Poop, triple post sorry.
But here's a screen of the crypt.
http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/7748/shot140tt.png
I'm not that proud of it, it looks crappy I know, but I'm going to be changing it soon.

I think it should be made out of bricks, not out of blocks. The whole grass or smth covering and all that sh*t look great, but why not at more blood? Like words written in blood. That would really make it rock. :ok:

No, I'm changing to to be darker, and adding a gargoyle to the top, getting rid of the vines, and adding ALOT of blood.

NOOOOOOOO!!! Leave the vines!!!! Do all that but LEAVE THE VINES!!!!

If the vines look bad with the darker palette, I'm removing them.

By the way.

http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/5230/shot150hk.png


HAHAHA!

Like I said - cool. :ok:

:blink: This is going to take much longer than I thought.

Making graphics pixel by pixel is crazy. Here's the redesigned crypt, complete with it's own mutilated zombie! (I put it in there for sexiness)
http://img336.imageshack.us/img336/7321/shot161dy.png

can the player actually die yet?

Heh no.
I can MAKE that he dies.
But I keep that off for testing purposes.

Upload it fool!

Okay bums, I've decided to give you guys a pre-alpha release that I call the bLeEd sampler, it's not much, so don't go judging it too harshly, as it's VERY early in development, enjoy!

bLeEd Sampler

P.S.

Enemies spawn out of the crypt so be patient.
They don't spawn that fast, so boohoo.

Are we allowed to give feedback? :ph34r:

Yes.

Its really good for where it is. At this point all my fears for this game are gone

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO a sampler!

Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback Feedback !

I need input please.

Damn, its not up yet :not_ok: (the site).

Raghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :Titan: :rifle: :butcher: :guns: :sniper: :pissed:

Grrrr.

the site is up

What's not up yet?
What the hell are you talking about?

It is still telling me it can't find the Server. MEZ GONNA KILL YOU! RAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :ranting: LOL

Works for punch...
I don't know what could be wrong, let me see if I can upload it here.
Yeah, 200k, that's really going to work.
I need a good filesharing place to use as an alternative for Blast.

I really like the game so far :ok:
Points of attention:
-My character got stuck a couple of times after I jumped a couple of times, and fired a weapon. It got unstuck when I changed weapons.
-The zombies have some difficulties getting out of the crypt.
-If I press jump in mid-air there's still a little cloud of dust :P

And, errr... The zombies are somewhat slow to react to a bullet.

I think the mid air dust looks cool!

Well, the zombies don't react slowly, it takes the bullet time to travel, I can't change this. (Actually I can, the bullet fires as soon as the anim reaches frame 7, making it frame 1 would make it seem sped up).
For the stuck thing, that's unavoidable, it's a animation overload, just try not to smash buttons.
The zombies aren't having difficulty getting out of the crypt, I have it set up so that they stay in there for awhile, if you shoot your gun or wave your sword it should attract them towards you (or jumping). They'll come out of their own after awhile.


The cloud of "dust" is not dust but steam, he uses propulsion, if you jump in mid air his system can't propel him any higher, so it's a nice effect, that's why every know and then even if he isn't jumping it lets loose some steam.

So if you just sit on top of the gargoyal and swing forever they will mass under you? :sneaky:

Yes.
Then if you walk out they'll come out bunched up.
The good thing is that if you leave them alone they eventually go in random directions so they aren't bunched up.

Well that is good :ok:

Don't want a horde of 1 zombie, could you kill a pile of many zombies in one spot?

Yep.
LOL, trying to fix that somehow.
Although it prolly won't matter, you'll still get massed anyway.

WARNING: It's possible for the game to overload with zombies if there are too many corpses.

Triggers go wild, the zombies start floating in the air, ETC.
This is fixed in the next release.

That actually seems like fun to me :P

LOL, you can't kill them either. By the way. Go there if you can't download from other site.
New BLEED host

This sampler is great. Haven't run into the too many zombie glitch yet :D

UPDATE: I've taken into consideration what you guys said and problems that arise.
Animations can now be unstuck by pressing the refresh button (Z)
Zombies spawn faster.
Zombes corpses no longer last forever, they decompose after a short while.
Bullets now travel at appropriate speed.
That's all that I have fixed so far.

Unfortunatly you guys aren't getting another ver until alpha, haha.

Oh yeah.

http://img173.imageshack.us/img173/4408/shot170tu.png

AAAAH!

I guess I've run into the zombie thing now...
They don't float, but my sword can't hit anything anymore.
It isn't related to the fact that I just shot my last bullet, right?

EDIT: Wait! They float too! :w00t:
Wow :D
Want me to post a screen?

LOL.
No, it's related to the fact that there are WAY too many zombies on screen, that includes the corpses.

Sure, post a screeny.

Go Piggy! Nice work on Bleed. Hell, now I want to work on some of my projects.

*opens Game Maker*

naaah...

*Alt+F4*

Oh, yeah, and see what you can do about collisions. They get weird when jumping on that gargoyle sometimes. Also, if you hit gargoyle with your headwhen jumping and you keep shift pressed you don't fall down.

Keep it up.

UPDATE: I added a way to get ammo, and it isn't pickups.
It's like a buy interface, up where your ammo and weapons are displayed I've added some more icons, the price of a certain item is shown (in this case pistol clips) as you kill things you get cash, you use this cash to buy more ammo, if you get 25 dollars (the price of a clip of ammo) you can click on the icon and you get two more clips.

http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/6914/ohoh0vw.png
Uh oh. I think I'm in trouble...

EDIT: It seems to be a bit of a large picture. I'll see if I can make it a bit more humble in size.
UPDATE: Still trying to get fileshack to host a smaller screen...
UPDATE: This should be a bit better.

Jesus, how long did you sit there for? Good thing I fixed it :D

A while :D
I never thought playing with zombies could be so much fun

Heh, well here's a pic of the updated interface, there's the buy system.
http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/7766/shot181vf.png

Just in case people missed the buy system update... Cause of your huge but fantastic pic Doubler.

Well, it's not bad, but the thing is - I think you would've saved some resources by making the playwindow a little smaller (the walking path isn't that big and the sky fills up 3/4ths of the main window + the character can jump SOOOO high).
Another glitch - the character (when using a sword or pistol) sometimes just shows half of the animation when slicing and shooting.

That about covers it... - EXCELLENT JOB!!!!! :ok:

WHOOOOPEEEE!!!!! THE GAME ROCKS!!!!! :Brain: :kosta:

Heh, thanks Troop, I'll take the probs and advice into consideration, now for another update. I need input on the look of the shotgun.
http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/6346/shot195cl.png
Wait? Half the Animation? No, he can shoot up and down, so maybe that's what you're seeing, as for the jumping, he's supposed to jump that high, he's inhuman!

By request my comment on the shotgun:
I think it looks good :ok:
But what is the dark red streak on it?

SWEEET! A shotgun!

The version I played was awesome. The new file has shotgun?

The red streak is just for fanciness.
Some people mark their shotguns with colors as personalization.
At least in the south :bleh: .

Well, so far I've only made the graphic, I've yet to give it firepower.

Oh, manage to skip the part about alpha :cry:

Should make it kill everything within such range.

Heh.
Well, I know it has to have a very powerful firepower level.
I'm not sure how to implement it yet without making it impossibly difficult.

Cause I'm nice I've decided to give you guys a updated alpha.
Doesn't matter where you install, install it in the same drive as the older files and say yes when asked to replace, it doesn't matter where you install.
This version fixes the massing zombie problem,
Adds money per kill,
Adds the option to buy ammo,
And fixes a few small other probs,
BleedSamplerV2
You do NOT require the older version of Bleed.

Seems I'm getting a corrupted file?
I can't unzip it; it stops halfway through.

Mmm, try downloading it again.
I don't see what the prob is.

Oh! I'm sorry, the file was corrupted when I uploaded.
I'll try to upload it again.

BloodSamplerV2
That one should work!

Works like a dream, thanks.

But I'm of to sleep now.
There wouldn't be a newsletter on the game, by any chance? :P

Newsletter? What do you mean?

Well, you should have a nice rest.
You can tell me what the hell you're talking about later.

Hahahaha. With a stab from above, this zombie will never know what hit 'em! LOL

You can also sit above the summon coffin, if you are careful enough.


Wheee... back to more mindless slaughter.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. See what a little forum browsing can do? See, the new alpha DIDN'T fix the glitch :D

Blast.
YOU HAVE TO KILL THEM.
If you just stand there doing nothing, THE BUG WILL RESURFACE.
I'm working on it again to prevent it from doing that PERIOD.

A spawn limit?

Yep, Punch please tell why you don't like the buy system.

BIG NEWS: The game is now a real sidescroller! That's right! You don't stand in one static screen! You can now further your explorations in the courtyard!
Look forward to the next update.

Wow! That is awesome! Destroying zombies is so satisfying! And you have done an awesome job with it! I can't wait for the next update! I love it! Great job :D

What's Funny is I thought I had paused it.

I had the money up to 350 :evil:

Wait till the next release.
I nearly killed myself trying to figure out how to make it scroll.

Hoping to add some skeletons and player death in next release.

Woohoo! Yeh!

The only thing better than this is when its time to wash my sisters cat :twisted:

William Shatner: Suddenly! I feel... a sense! Of... EVIL!

LOL

Seriously, for those that like to exploit bugs, here's a nice one, go up to the crypt and stand as close as possible, then just keeping tapping the attack button when you have your sword equipped, it'll kinda shoot him into the air.

Done it already. It's not too fun.

It is for the designer.
BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN ANNIHILATE THEM!
But I think to one that's the most fun is the INSANE ZOMBIE bug.

Yeah, hordes of zombies flying after you LOL

Morning :yawn:

With the newsletter thing I was joking about the fact that now that you're fan following is growing, you should give out a Plood Pig Productions newsletter to keep everyone up to date :P. Sorry. Won't do it again :)

I wasn't offended, I was just confused.
Despite the fact I have a massive vocabulary, it stills deters me from knowing some obvious words.

So how're you progressing so far with the game? And where does the courtyard supposedly lead when its fully finished?

Well, it's just gonna go on awhile and present some other enemies for you to fight in the alpha.
In the full version it leads on with the story, as there will be a intro.

Cool, uh... I forgot to play the frigin 2nd release!!!! Damn! I'm going to play it now!
:bye:

Heh...
Next release won't be so easy, there will be DEATH! For you and for everything else of course.
Still trying to figure out how I should specialize the shotgun's firepower.

Make it to where it kills at least 5 enemies in front of you? But only has like 10 bullets.

Well, I've thought of a spread fire, but I'm trying to figure out how to implement it.

How does the pistol work? Just give it half the range but kill everything till it gets there :evil:

Least anything that SHOULD be killed by a shotgun :D

Can't wait till full version :ok:

Okay, I figured out how the shotgun works.
I took Fawful's idea, anything in a close range to you when firing the shotgun is wiped out.

Hmmm. You should make it where it has a slug shot option too :evil:

Wahoo! Yep, that'n was a humdinger of an idear weren't it. :D

DAMNIT I WILL RIP YOUR MOTHER'S HEART FROM HER STILL BEATING CHEST YOU IGNORANICAL PIECE OF BULL CRAP MISANTHROPIC BALEMIC HARDENORIC GAME EDITOR!


It keeps playing the shotgun animation at super slow speed!

How did you get it to play the others quicker?

Actually it works now, it turns out the animation speed was still at 1.

Would it be possible to make the shotgun (or perhaps a duplicate space with different charges?) shoot slug shots? This would be more like the pistol, only it would be WAY more painful to big stuff :evil:

Mmm, that'd be a waste of space, I have a limit to how much I can put on one level.
It's a huge limit, but guns take up big chunks (like 7 percent.)

Wow. Hmmm. What's the next weapon gonna be?

Uzi is the next weapon.

Heh, the Shotgun death animation is fantastic.
The torso is seperated from the legs, it falls down.
The leg stands there for a few seconds, then falls down.

Ha. If it were my idea I would be thinking of the one zombie in the Morgue in Torment.

Uzi? Are you gonna make it where it goes and makes like 5 different splut noises and makes little blood streams out the back of zombies and stuff?

Actually It's going to be one of those things where it tears him up and he steps backwards a few times and falls down, play Fallout on high gore, shoot someone with a automatic and you get the idea.

UPDATE: The shotgun is now complete, all it needs now is ammo.
Considering the insane power of the shotgun, I'm going with 3 rounds per clip and 6 clips max.

Heh. Sounds really uber, man :ok:

Okay, Here's a shot of the updated interface.
http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/80/shot200cc.png
The thing showing his head is like the life bar, the red goes down as he gets wounded.
Those metal plates are the weapon icons of course.
The things that kinda look like candy bars are pistol clips, and the magazine with the rounds next to it is how full the current clip is.
The buy icon, and how much cash you have are to the side.

Heh. Are bullets all the same price? Or does it change as you change from Pistol to Shotgun?

Did you add weapon descriptions yet?

Nope, weapon descrips aren't there yet.
There'll be a seperate set for the shotgun.
Some weapons use the same ammo.

Like the pistol and Uzi?

Or are you planning on using Energy Weapons?

Energy weapons yeah.
No pistol and Uzi don't use same ammo.
It's like this.

Heavy weapons that're kinda like the shotgun use same ammo (Rifle, it looks similair and very powerful).
Weapons that have single fire and are of moderate strength use same ammo as pistol.
And rapid fire weapons that aren't energy will use same as Uzi.

And now the shotgun has ammo, so no more infinite fire unfortunatly.

Awww damn LOL

Hehehe. Does the manual give you ideas on energy weapons?

Mmm.
I've more been making up my own.
Like the MUNKEE
(Molecular Unstabalizing Nuclear Kieger Energy Envaporator)
Which turns enemies into mutated blobs.

Ooh, what about the one in ratchet and clank that turns bad guys into chickens. Chicken massacre! :evil:

I love that weapon!
Heh, I'm trying to keep it along the gory line here.

Ok, chickens that explode into giant blood fountians?

No, stop.

:D

The next weapon is the uzi, after that I spruce up the place and release the first alpha.

LOL No bloody chickens? LOL

You should make an item that causes the enemies to go crazy and attack everything, including each other :D

Like berserk or confusion. In crusader an inhibitor can do this to servo mechs and battle mechs. But of course, this would require some other form of reasoning...

I would put this in the last release you make, because it would probably be damned annoying to figure out.

Not really.
I just set it up so that they stand in place, swing their arms around, and hit allies.

Awesome, would this item be hard to make? It might not even need a graphic. Maybe a sound, I would use the last jelly sound for it :ok:

http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/3064/shot215zp.png

Oh my!

That's the shotgun death anim right in the middle of it too (I have a fast print screen finger).

Not focusing on making any special weapons right now.

Sweeet.

Take this, you stupud zombfie! :sniper:

Oh, here's a VERY rare bug.
The only time it happens is when the zombies pile up (like 20 of them) inside the crypt, then there's like a 1 out 20 percent chance that he might float into the air.
http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/890/shot225pz.png

Stupid zombie. Thinks he can fly :D

I gave him a lesson with my sword.

One time one was so high up that I had to shoot him.
It only happened twice to me though, and that was like leaving the game on for 30 minutes.

Wow, that looks awesome. Hey, i got an idea, make a weapon that turns the zombies into mario like characters so we can massacre them. :evil: No wait, make them turn into Bush. :evil:

I'm not a politician hater.
I'd prolly make a weapon that turns em into rats or mice.

kerry turn him into kerry!

Stop!
:ranting:

I'm working here!

Your moms working here LOLOLOLOL!!!!.........

:angry:

Yo, seriously!

Stop spamming the place up.
I'm adding a little debris to the other end of the courtyard now.

WHOOO!
You can now take damage but you can't die.

So it doesn't really matter until I make the death animation and add in lives.

Hows progress so far now :P

Heh.
I was busy playing Homeworld so I didn't get much done.
But you can get hit now, lives are in there, but you still can't die.
I'll get to that later.

"Hehehe. Can't kill me, even though I have no hps..."

The the red thingy gets lower? or does it fade?

It gets lower.
It's Baldur's gate except it goes down instead of up.
(The portraits)

http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/883/shot237pv.png
This is the interface with the lives counter and the shotgun ammo.

Can we please have a chance to play with the shot gun

Nifty.

If you don't play Homeworld and you work on it as much as you normally do, how much further do you think you will be tomorrow?

Using this crap, when do you think you will be done?

If you dont let us i will annoy you on AIM

You ain't gettin shotgun till next release.
If I don't play Homeworld it will probably go at the same speed.
I have blackouts where I sit at the computer and do nothing, trying to think of what to start with next.
If I keep going at this speed, the complete alpha will prolly be released soon.

LOL yeah punch go get him LOL

He said the alpha will be out soon, didn't he? just wait a little more :ok:

*annoying now*

I can log off you know...

You dont have the *beach* balls to log off!

Was that censored or did you type it?

Heh.

All right all right, we'll give you space. We'll be good. :) Or will we. :sneaky:
