An intro + a game demo guys!

[fospher.com]

ripX and I have been pretty busy working on our 3D game lately...that I didnt really have the time to work on my independent one. So while that project is on hold, i decided to share it with you guys.

well that being said - here we go:
here's a little intro to my game - its not the first cutscene and really doesnt explain the plot at all - but just something in the beginning.
intro

and here's a little game demo when you're done with the intro:
its only 9.5k btw
game demo




Controls:

Right/Left to move
Up to jump
Down to duck
Z to shoot
Space to pause(yay!)






hehe...maybe soon enough me and rips will show off a little demo of our 3d wonder



oh - and i decided not to market this game - and that means im shamelessly using the TMNT music.

The graphics look really pixelated, and I got stuck while playing the game, but the intro's great, and so's the name. Hobort!

[fospher.com]

yeah pixelation was the engine behind the game... i'm going for that nes feel game.

and yeah, the game has some bugs, ill fix those...someday

[BlinkOk]

cool work fospher. it's a unique style, i like it!

[johnjohnbongo]

the intro was cool but is there anything 2 do in the game? i went 4ward 4 about a minute and didnt find anything.

make it so u can shoot when u r crouching!

ps. framerate was 19-20 on Athlon XP1800+

[tomsamson]

very funny intro,sure some stuff to do in the game but as blink said,its pretty unique
i don´t know,in the game itself,you should add more colorful backgrounds,think its too gloomy there

[fospher.com]

@blincomeister: nice, bud, always great to hear some praise from ya

@jon: hah, there's no enemies yet in the game, so i guess it could seem a little dull. 19-20 framerate on 1800mhz? thats awful! what browser are you running? im getting around 28-30 in IE on a 1.1 athlon

@tom: all the backgrounds are under 1k...haha just to aid the framerate . thanks for replying... and the old footer is back! yes! i love that one!

thanks for all the replies guys

[johnjohnbongo]

i did have quite a few things running and had 22% of system resources free will check again 2morrow!

[ATDIstarscream]

Your game is the coolest premise for a game i've seen in a long time. There is a very high shortage of games that have hobos.

[fospher.com]

@john: 22% free? heh well maybe thats the problem. you might have some of spy/bloatware on that box of yours - i did - just shut all those buggers down, itll make your processor's life so much easier

@atdi: thanks for the compliment, and you're right! there isnt enough games with hobos!

[hooligan2001]

Haha love the ninjai turtles music

[Skribble_Style]

did u use a randomly generated background??? or spend the time making a good old fashion hand drawn one, and scrolled????

im making a platform game of " The Nightmare Before Christmas " one of my favorite animated movies . although i need a jump script and i dunno how to use the gravity and stuff in flash so i got a long way to go b4 itz finsihed. im more arty than scripty.

Haha, I liked the graphics, they are so similar to the graphics in the game im making.. sorta, but good luck with it!

[fospher.com]

nice, i see that you guys are liking the game

@skribble style: you mean a drawing API? or whether it is tile based or art based? the graphics are all drawn out by hand, and is not drawing api - it is a gif that is only 0.2 kilobytes big, so its no biggie on the CPU. the scrolling method i made a while ago - erm the engine that runs the game - its called half and half - look thru the boards and you'll find it
