Well, I'm trying ot get this project off the ground, but right now I can't even show you guys the images I've come up with yet!!!?!?!

Seriously bad.
The lil guys are being drawn in flash, but on a mega-tiny scale so I can fit all their animations in one document. I'm probably going to regret making them that small, however.

Well, I know I am.
While I'm trying to make them bigger, I was trying to take snapshots using prnt Scrn, but I can't find the pictures?!?!
Where the heck do they go?!?!

and, images coming soon.
and story...
and character bios.
and onces all that happnes, constructive crit. welcome
but for now...

WHERE ARE Z IMAGEZ!?

When you use print Screen it takes the snapshot to your clipboard, just paste it in Paint or Something.

Thanks.

Tell me if the links here don't work.


First off:

http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t110/Kevloggs/?action=view¤t=leroy.jpg
Leroy the unhappy robot.
After a seemingly slight malfunction in the Robot-Maker-110,000,000.009
A multi-purpose robot model #12-9847E recived a slight alteration in programming. it seemed like a small virus at first, but when #12-9847E came out onto the finished production line, there was a problem. He wasn't smiling. #12-9847E caused a red-alert, and the Robot-Maker 110,000,000.009 was shut down. Unaware of what was happening, #12-9847E escaped the factroy into the outside world, adopting a fake smile to keep him out of trouble. #12-9847E wondered why all of the other robots seemed so happy all of the time, he wished will all of his hard drive that he could be like them. After a week on the lamb, something dawned on #12-9847E. The other robots wore smiles and grins, true. But their eyes were blank, and that they seemed to have programmed responses to everything, always positive, yet vauge. When a wave of secruity bots suddenly charges towards an antique museum Leroy thinks they are after him, and runs pell mell into the museum himself.

http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t110/Kevloggs/?action=view¤t=gregory.jpg
Gregory the lonely toaster.
With the grand opening of a new antique warehouse musem only a few days away, mover-bots are hard pressed to move all of the old machinery into the museum. In their hurry, they plugged in an old automated toaster from 2099. The automated toaster's nuclear battery is jumpstarted and comes to life, right as the curator-droid comes by. When the robot sees the toasters lonely, not happy, face, he calls for security. THe toaster, who was named Gregory by his old human owners, breaks out of the glass and hops for his little toaster life. Which is when he meets #12-9847E... and gives him the name "Leroy" and begs him for help.

http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t110/Kevloggs/?action=view¤t=edward.jpg
Edward the depressed Crab
Edward is, as you could say, down in the dumps. Litteraly. He is just scavenging the junkyard, day by day, feeling sorry for himself and his misrable situation. He had been "happy" like everyboty else, until he mistakenly bumped on a rock on the sea-floor, opening a crack in his metal skin, and shorting him out. When he re-booted he felt very odd. Then his other crab friends started to chase him, and he wound up escaping them by scuttling into the old junkyard. It is there that he will meet Leroy...

http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t110/Kevloggs/?action=view¤t=zeb.jpg
Zebidiah the confused floor cleaner
Zebidiah is a very confused floor cleaner. He works in the off-limits basement in a robot-making factory. He has been down their for years, ever since the section was closed off. He remembers being happy, but then the lights went out, and he ran into somthing, jarring his hard drive. Now he doesn't know what's going on, but he keeps cleaning the floors, like he has been told and programmed to do. But he's sure someone will find him eventually, but if that someone was friendly or not he doesn't know...

http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t110/Kevloggs/?action=view¤t=samuel.jpg
Samuel the anxious Crusher
Samuel is very anxious. He doesn't want any of the other bots ot find him, or they will destroy him becasue he isn't happy like everyone else. He has spent his time worrying in an empty crate in the crushing site. His job before was to crush big rocks and old machinery, but one day he was crushing, as usual, when he crushed one old bot that turned out to be a wrecked soldier-bot, and it exploded! The explosion only caused a dent in Samuel's tough hull, but that den't did something to him. One day, he started worrying about the dent. Did it make him look stupid? Then he was caught being anxious, and was forced to run and hide before he was overwhelmed by a wave of security bots! He is just hiding for now, hoping that no bad bots find him... or that a good ones does....

Are you interested?
I'll explain each of these bot's special abiltiys and what effect they will have on your gameplay later.
Other friendly bots away their disclosure as well...
As well as some nasty bosses that you will have to face, each with their own special abilties...

oohh...
ahhh...
heelllp...

meee....
finish...
this!

Man realm, your pics seriously rock! I love it. If I wasn't up to my ears already I'd be diving right in to this project

I really want to see where you take these distinct characters in the story.

It seems like they could be a classic underdog band of bros. taking on the world of hypocritical happiness. Perhaps to find true satisfaction and purpose?

I really look forward to seeing more!

God Bless!

Thanks guys!
I've got to fix their sizes (i realized if i tired to use images that small in BB (instad of like flash, where even the smallest darn thing has a done of detail when you enlarge it) would be pixilated crap.

but wait untill you see some of the bosses.

This is going to be a crazy game... if I can get it off the ground!
Prayer's please!

Yeah, flash is vector, BB is bitmap.

Well, just keep designing it. I'm very seriously considering helping you code the thing when my schedule loosens up. (If you are interested in help like that.) It will be at least a couple of months though.

it might take that long to get my lazy butt to get working!

Well, I'd appreciate the help. I saw that speedgame blog, it looks great!
I espeically need help with tiles! When it comes to tiles, i am at absolute loss!
If you can't help out on any of hte acutal programming, just telling me (or showing some example code of) how tiles work would be awesome!
... and how you need to make tiles and stuff...

If your talking about pixel-art tiles and not some spiffy flash/bb stuff, i think i might be able to lend a hand.

Sure I can help with stuff like that.

But I think before you start wearing your programmers hat, really flesh this design out.

You've got some great characters and environments defined. Maybe try getting the over-arching story(i.e. Leroy and Gregory go to the junkyard and fight such-n-such a boss and then...) and the sequence of the levels pulled together, etc. I'd say try skip the details and just get a flow from game start to the ending (endings?) roughed out.

Anyhoo, just some ideas to get your creative juices flowing

God Bless!

Don't worry. This is majorly planned out. I've been thinking this over and writing about it in my "jornal" (really a sketch book filled with drawings, some good some bad, and lots and lots of game desings... nothing about myself lol)

The level progress and bosses are lined up and ready to go!

You've probably already thought of this too but, if you're looking to pull together a team, you'll need a good design doc. Hmm.

This could turn out to be a really cool game.

RM, the design and artwork is looking great! I really like the depth of character you've put into this -- it sounds like a very charming world.

I'll be following this project with interest.

Thanks guys...
i'm dusting off my skills as a programmer. for school, i saw my brother playing an absolutely misrable game, a joke, nay, an insult to all we gamers/game makers hold dear and near!
So... I'm going to try an make a better version. It was some "spelling" game.

There was an awful pixilated truck on the bottom, that had a giant pencil on top, and a standared (read: BL3H!! EW! YUCK! BORING!) GUI button that read "FIRE" and words (also in buttonous form) went to and fro across the screen on the top, and you had to shoot the ones that were misspeled with the stupid pencil. As soon as the pencil made contact, with a bad or good word, it immediately reappared on the truck, and the word became either red or green adn went off to the left or right really fast. It was PATHETIC!
So i'm making one, without horrrible buttons, and with a really cool artillary gun thingy!

Cross fingers, sometimes even the simpliest of ideas gets mangled in my far-fetched programming methods...

Hey RM, in my current projects I'm just fiddleing around, and designing, but I'd be interested if you could get a nice design doc, and find something for me to do, I'd be interested in helping. You using BB, B3d, or BM?

Dying.

The only excuse I haff:
Halo 3 came out.

I really, not to sound mean, but I really do not care what others may think about halo 3, but I've been a major fan since the first one, and halo 3 has so much to offer. I've been spending my time on there playing with my friends (real life, I might add) and using forge. a lot. Forge is creating something for yourself... without too much hard work. Which is probably why I like is so much.

Lava, you have made me now want to go back and raise this project from the dead... kindof like Jesus did, but digital... and I'm no where near Jesus's status.
Thanks!
