Wonderland Fangames?

John925 · Post by **John925** » Sun Sep 10, 2006 4:03 pm

Is is okay to make a wonderland fangame only accessable to registered users of this forum? I woulden't need any graphics... I only make 2D games and I will just need to modify:

to make all of the characters and well... ummm... yeh... I of course need permission but it would still be cool.

Do you mean using the smilies? I can give you the complete set if you want it.

If i can I would like the complete set, but that is no what I was origially doing. I think I need permission to make a fangame but I am not sure... Well, better safe than sorry.

I have no problem with you making a Wonderland fangame, as long as a few rules are followed:

a) no 'official' (and hence copyrighted) material is used (official graphics, sound fx, music, copies of gameplay mechanics)
b) the game is not distributed other than on this forum or on a wonderland fan site (e.g. mette's site)
c) the title screen includes the remark that the game is not "official" and hence Midnight Syngery has no responsibility for its content.
d) the spirit of the game doesn't deviate too far from the official Wonderland games (e.g. a violent shoot-em-up where Stinky and Loof battle hordes of Zombies would not be ok)

Hopefully you'll find that these are reasonable (and not too restrictive) requests.

Cheers,
Patrick

Okay! The graphics are going to be the smiles. Well, it's not going to be a violent game it is going to be a tile-baised puzzle game but I am wondering if it's okay if it's a side-veiw. Like a tile based platformer but instead of wasting time jumping on little zombies it would be a box-pushing puzzle game using trampolines, boxes and water. I am wondering if that is "too far" but if it is I can make it a top-down puzzle game or isometric (hardest).

The first level is almost done. Nice and simple so far but me gaurentee it will get harder. Oh and it's sorta like Proffessor Fizzwizzle (or however yar speel eet... <-bad spelling).

Sorry for double-posting but I have now got a screenie!
Like the graphics?

Post by **Midnight Synergy** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 2:57 am

Looks neat so far (and yes, a side view thingy is fine).

This is cool! I can't wait for it to be finished!
Can I be a Beta Tester, if you need one?

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 7:43 am

Me too, me too! Can I be a beta-tester?

That's a VERY good idea! If you need level designers, i can create some
levels for the game.

Wonderland Freak, i am.

Only if you have MMF2 and can understand the game engine.

And beta-testers are alwas welcome.

I might even make a level-editor so keep ye fingers crossed!

A beta version is the test Version of a game.
And can I be another beta tester? You will need very much of them.

dlcs18 · Post by **dlcs18** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 6:20 pm

When will it be finished and ready to play?

It looks great!

Just a comment: While the rainbow background looks cool, it is a bit distracting

Going great so far!
In case you don't know, a game usually goes through three versions. The Alpha version is a rough design, and is just to get the basic engine going. The Beta version is much better, but still lacks major elements, and the Delta version (I don't know why there isn't a Gamma version) is the finished game, just needs to be combed through for spelling and grammar errors, graphical errors, bugs and glitches, etc.

So far it's soundless so if someone were to give me sound effects it would be greatly apprecieated and you would be mentioned in the credits.

I have finished the first level! The engine is almost done so anyone interestd in making "official" (there will be an editor) levels can pm me with a exel document following the little requirements (oh, yes, if you get yer level into za game you will be in thar credits):

It is 10*10
It uses recognizable terms for parts (box not B because of blank)
The exit is in there (sorry it didn't make it into the screenie)
If levels are not accepted I will pm you to tell you why so you can submit a redegsign.

Who knows? There might be a level competition or two in other puzzles and games.

I have tryed game maker and it wasn't too great MMF2 is better and itdoesn't require programming either. Only problem is it costs 120USD and I don't know about other currency thingies.
