Drandom Adventure

LittleZbot · Post by **LittleZbot** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 12:54 am

For a while I've been working on a Game Maker Game called Drandom Adventure. You control a character named Drandom(who always wears Sunglasses, even at night)in a place where it is always night.

One day(or "Night") he decides to go and find out why. His first trouble is just getting out of town. When he tells the Gate Guard(who is a Google, a circular creature with googly eyes and always has his tongue hanging out) why he wants to leave the town, he is Immediately driven to the other side of town.

He then goes across town, fighting several Cyan Googles, until he reaches the gate. The Gate Guard is his first Boss. Outside, he finds even more Googles, all wanting to attack him for an unknown reason.

Your mission is to go and find the switch of time, and switch it to green, and the endless night will end. As you go across the Worlds, you learns bits of what is going on. An evil person has stopped the worlds from going back into day by switching the switch of time to red. One of his Minions is the Google King, who has commanded his Google army to stop anyone who tries to reach the switch.
The worlds/big places are:

1.Town
Make it to the other side of town
but avoid the cyan Googles at all cost!
Miniboss:None
Boss:Gate Guard(Red Google)

2.Plains/Meadows
There are several Googles here.
Avoid and Destroy them with
Weapons and Power-ups.
Miniboss:Big Boy(Giant Scorpion)
Boss:Fanged Wolfish Google

3.Ocean
Swim through the ocean and
watch out for scuba Googles.
Miniboss:Bubble Google
Boss:Suishiu

4.Iceberg
Make it to the tip of the Iceberg
but make sure to watch out
for the Ice Googles and
their Ice blocks.
Miniboss:The Troller
Boss:Territorial Snowman

5.Pirate Ship
Avoid cut-throat Pirates and
Google raids as you go
to take control of the ship's
wheel.
Miniboss:Cabin Boy
Boss:Kaptain Kwazy

6.Volcano
It's light, a nice change from
the darkness outside. But
Orange Googles and
Fearsome Fire Beasts roam
the place. Try to make it
through without being burnt!
Miniboss:Ryuja
Boss:Fire Lord

7.Lever's Fort
This is it. The Fort with the
Lever of Time in it. Destroy
the bad guy's
minions, he himself, and
switch the Lever.
Bring back day, and be
quick about it!
Miniboss#1:Stonehenge
Miniboss#2:Big Bomber
Miniboss#3:Google King
Miniboss#4:Vortexio
Big Time Big Boss:Mutant

Power-ups:

Lightning Striker:
Touch this object and a flash of lightning will appear, which will destroy all bad guys weapons(except for ones that have something to do with fire) and hurt the Bad guys.

Freezening Striker:
Touch this object and a flash of freezening will appear, which will destroy all fire weapons and slow down all other baddies.

Banana:
Kinda like Mario's carrot. Eating this Healthy Fruit will give Drandom a tail like a monkey, allowing him to hang onto walls. Also, he can jump higher, and climb vines.

Statue:
Turns Drandom into Giant, Powerful Robot for a time limit.

Winged Dot:
This item gives Drandom wings that grant him the power of flight. Soar to the Skies! For a time limit, anyway.

Rubber Band: makes Drandom bounce around, but take less damage and have a Throwback trick.

Winged Bomb: Same as winged dot, but allows Drandom to drop small bombs.

Jump Dot: Allows Drandom to have a ton more moves for a while.

Fireball: Drandom can throw fireballs that do some damage at enemies.

Ice Cream: Drandom can throw Ice balls that hold enemies in their position for a few seconds.

Boomerang: Drandom can throw boomerangs that come back to him and do a bit of damage to enemies.

Special Spike: Drandom can drop a spike on the ground which will sap away HP from any enemy it comes in contact with.

Headphones: Drandom can sing, creating either a bad or good music note. A bad one hurts enemies. A good one gives you HP.

Bomb: You can drop bombs that explode after about two seconds, harming any enemies within range.

Sword: Deals damage to enemies poked by it.

SUPER POWERS:
Very rare powers acquired by locating certain secrets.

Burning Torch: Drandom can throw large fireballs in any direction. These Fireballs do twice as much damage as a normal one.

Brain Freeze: Will freeze ALL enemies on the level for a few seconds.

Super Spike: Drandom can throw six twirling spikes that sap away HP from enemies and bounce around.

Big Bomb: Drandom can lay Giant bombs with a larger explosion range. Then Mega Bombs that have a large explosion range AND deals more damage. Then Ultra Bombs that cover have the screen and deal an amazing amount of damage.

Lightsaber: Deals LOTSA damage to whatever it poked by it; can also reflect and maximize beams and lasers, dealing TONS of damage to whatever threw them.

Angel Wings: Same as Winged dot, but allows for many powerful moves, Including the Drill Spin, Throwback, and Crusher.

Googles:

Cyan: Just bounce around.
Red: Bounce around, spit out red spinning lobsters.
Yellow: Spit out tiny lightning zaps. If hit by a Google, the Google will shoot out electricity.
Purple:Duplicates itself
Orange:Spits out orange spinning lobsters that spit out fire.
OTHERS=UNKNOWN/NOT CREATED

Also, (Mainly because of Computer erasing problems) I'm defenetly(however you spell that) gonna need some help.

Enemies:

Mugglers: No threat if you have no power, But if You do they steal it and use it themselves. You can Defeat them to get your power back.

Mechas: Get too near and they viciously attack. Jump on them for a ride, but after a bit they see you and bite. By Jumping off at the right second you can defeat it(causes it to bite itself)

Geekos: They're Geeks about different things, and always make a comment hinting how they attack right before they do, so read carefully!

More ideas would be Appreciated.

Anything, even just ideas, would be helpful(Also I'm in need of sprites).

I wouldn't mind doing some spriting for you, I'd say I'm pretty good.

I like the allwas wearing sunglasses idea.

Thanks. The main sprite I need are Lobsters, Spinning or walking.

Can you do that?

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:47 am

I hope so.

Just tell me a few things, so i can get just what you want:
One or the other?
What color?
Are you using Game Maker 8?
Is 32 by 32 pixels ok?

LittleZbot · Post by **LittleZbot** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:54 am

1. Both

2. Any listed color, mainly red

3. Yes.

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 2:04 am

Ok, I'll get working on it.

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 2:16 am

I did the walking one. Not my best work, sorry.

Here, it's as a strip but it will go normal when you put it in GM8/

You still exist? Awesome.

LittleZbot · Post by **LittleZbot** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 3:33 am

Nobody: Yes, it took a long time, But finally I'm back.

BWF: Great Job! Now I need the spinning one.

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:31 pm

Thank you!
Now, do you want it spining like a flip?

LittleZbot · Post by **LittleZbot** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:12 pm

That would be probably be better than what I was thinking so yeah.

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:15 pm

Ok, here you go:

LittleZbot · Post by **LittleZbot** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:21 pm

You... are... GREAT!

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:26 pm

Thank you!

...but I actually just used a animation efect built into the editor.

LittleZbot · Post by **LittleZbot** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:28 pm

DP.

Next, maybe you could make Mugglers.

I imagine them similar to Goombas, but I can't exactly legally do that.

So, how about making them a brownish strange shape, with Lobsterish Claws for hands, and a bandit/ninja headband. You can do whatever you want for the legs and face.

real dp.

It's able to do that? I wish I had known. It would have saved me a lot of trouble.

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:48 pm

Do you want the Mugglers to walk or something?

And yeah, it's

animation
rotation sequence
(direction here)
(enter a few things)

.

LittleZbot · Post by **LittleZbot** » Sat Feb 05, 2011 12:27 am

Yes, But don't have to have an animation for that.

Can you tilt the walking animation so you see it from the side, as this is a platformer?

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Sat Feb 05, 2011 12:43 am

That is the side.

LittleZbot · Post by **LittleZbot** » Sat Feb 05, 2011 12:50 am

Oh, yes, I see now. It just looks otherwise, thanks to two eyes.

Well, either way, can you do a lobster facing the other way?

Now I need the Muggler.

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:35 am

Yeah. Do you want it walking or what?

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:51 am
