Yoctostinky - Demo 1 Available

Blast!10 · Post by **Blast!10** » Sat Jun 13, 2009 3:51 pm

In addition to Pixelpart, today I started working on another project. It's an extremely minimalistic, 2-dimensional, black and white Wonderland fangame made entirely in Game Maker 7 Pro.

Currently, Stinky has something like this 12x12 sprite:

The game will most likely have levels extremely similar to the levels in TOW and RTWC, and possibly some 100% original levels as well. The level selection screen will probably be like in TOW and RTWC/RTWD. As for the scrolling vs. screens decision, I think I'll decide according to your opinions.

As soon as I get home, I'll start giving the project some shape (I have only made 3 sprites so far), and then post screenshots.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask here.

I guess their won't be any Alt-X, will there?

So... this would be kinda like what Wonderland would be like on a Game Boy? Cool!

Close, but not exactly. This game is monochrome - only 2 colors - while the Game Boy had much more than that.

I don't think so, but the field of view is bigger than the one in the official Wonderland games.

SLOW DOWN - SCREENSHOT AHEAD

Is first steps done yet?

Blast!10 · Post by **Blast!10** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 1:20 pm

Yes. I need to upload the demo.

EDIT: Clicky

The exe is broken.

EDIT: Nevermind.

This is a nice remake! I found 2 glitches though:

1. You can get yourself stuck in a box.

2. You can unlock the gates without collecting all the coins if you collect all of them except the middle one in the bottom section. Look at the screenshot below.

Blast!10 · Post by **Blast!10** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 12:56 pm

1. Because something is still wrong with my engine.

2. Because all coins in the bottom section are BONUS coins. >_>

1. Ok.

2. Oh, my bad. It's really hard to tell because there is no color... >_>

The signs don't work...

dlcs18 · Post by **dlcs18** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 9:14 pm

Yeah, it's not really that obvious...

You have to click on the signs to read them.
EDIT: and press Space to exit them.
EDIT2: Owait, ignore the last edit. I just found out you can press any key to do it.

Which Gameboy are we talking about? This one?:

Cuz that one is pale-green-yellow-ish and black.

Game itself is AWESOME. JUST AWESOME.

Come on, it can't be that good... >_<

Blast!10 · Post by **Blast!10** » Fri Jun 19, 2009 4:18 pm

*double post, but no one will notice this otherwise*

I now have a PLAYABLE DEMO containing three levels. All levels require a password to get to except for level 1. The password for the protected levels can be seen when you reach the level.

Clicky

EDIT: I forgot to mention that in Demo 2 and up you can also resize the window

Blast!10 · Post by **Blast!10** » Wed Jun 24, 2009 5:59 pm

Triple post... >_<

PLAY IT HERE

It's only 5 levels, but who said fangames had to be long?

As in Demo 2, you can resize the window.

dlcs18 · Post by **dlcs18** » Wed Jun 24, 2009 6:07 pm

I finished all 5 levels.

Blast!10 wrote:It's only 5 levels, but who said fangames had to be long?

No-one, but this is still a bit too short for what it is.

Wow, excellent demo!

I'm guessing you will make a better level select screen later?

dlcs18 · Post by **dlcs18** » Wed Jun 24, 2009 10:39 pm

No, jdl. This is the finished game.

*SUPER OMEGA GIANT PEANUT BUTTER... BUMP*

Ok, well Blasty has given me the GMK file and I've decided to continue making this for whatever reason. (I just want to have something to do in my time besides playing Counter-Strike: Source...

)

Updates:

I've added a little "intro" of my own.

Added title screen.
Revised the "level select screen". This is no longer a level select screen, though.
Added a saving feature.

To Come:

An instructions screen.*
Music.
More levels.

*this is a possibility, as the signs in the game kinda explain what to do, so this is a maybe.

DEMOS:

There will be a demo ready tomorrow, or today. It just depends on if A) I get enough work done on it. or B) If my internet will be able to upload it (see below).

My internet has been acting very weird with uploading things lately. Every time I try to upload something, 19MB for example, my router gives out when it's almost done uploading and it doesn't get uploaded, and I have to unplug and plug back in my router.

(P.S. - I have Game Maker 7 Pro now!

)

I am looking forward to your comments,

jdl

I can't wait to see this!

BTW Game Maker 8 was released a few months ago.

It's going to be worth the wait.

And yes, I know, but I like GM7 and I'll probably upgrade later.
