Community/Single Project anyone?-No Tutorial For You.

Post by Nobody » Sun Jan 10, 2010 9:34 pm

Name not yet decided. I have an idea for something I can't do. Besides, I need to find a way to make Douball easier without taking away the challenge.

So the game starts like a normal game, with a menu intro and level select, but the first level is a misdirection-filled deathtrap in which there is annoying all capital floating orange text, including a starting phrase NO TUTORIAL FOR YOU. Throughout the course of the first section of the game, it is revealed that the entire staff making the game wants you dead. After you make it into the Real World for the second section, I have no particular plans, except for more evil misdirection-y stuff and a Final Boss Head Programmer.

IS ANYONE UP TO MAKING IT?

Maybe when I finish Boxinator. Doesn't sound too hard.

And I like making evil games. I Wanna Be The Guy injected some of its nature into me. :P

IWBTG-esque style is indeed the obvious choice here, though actually making it AS hard as IWBTG would be too extreme.

Indeed. I'll make it a bit easier. There will be 5 tracks of levels with 25 levels each:

Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, and God. :twisted:

You know what that means.

'God'?

(Imagines a level that won't even be won by intense hacking.)

Be patient. Just because someone's working on a project and has announced it somewhere doesn't mean they're obligated to get pictures to show when they don't want to. :wink:

Okay, this "Level Select" thing is being really annoying. It doesn't want to cooperate and it's being glitchy. :?

I'm still trying, though. Two levels finished designing. :wink:

Q: Will the story be spread across 25 levels 5 times, or will it be spread across A MERE (lol) 125 levels?

Well, I haven't inserted any story yet. I'm working on fiendishly difficult level design.

By the way, does there have to be a level select? It's taking up so much time to make. :?

Suggestion: each time you die, you have to listen to THIS. When you restart it keeps playing for 10 seconds before it fades out.

Now you have a reason to not die, and with IWBTG-esque level design, it won't be easy... :shock: :twisted: :lol: :wink: 8) :o :lol:

EDIT: no wait, this is even worse.
