[DEMO][preview of the day pt.3] ~bubble islands~

[marmotte]

...Certainly the last pimp for a while.

So there you go with the ROLLING DEMO of "Bubble isands"!
The specificity of the "rolling demo" is: you cannot play it. Just watch. But it's enough for now. So... enjoy. Note that flash player 8 or newer is needed.

PS1: real background images are still missing, and some character animations too (especially with Yotta, the samurai octopus)

PS2: it's great to see the game being SO CHOPPY compared to the offline game. Thanks browsers.

Looks awesome. Just awesome. Wow.

[ChaseNYC]

looks really awesome... excited for it, hoping it doesnt sit in demo stage like that ghetto fighting game on your site...

[marmotte]

thanks for the comments so far!

Haha, that game is finished since many months now (september last year)! I cannot host the final version myself of course, the client wouldn't be happy at all since it's exclusively for him. Interesting fact though: since the guy working on the PHP site did a pretty bad job, that game doesn't exist anymore online! No way to play it, since it rely on a heavy database...

Geez that sucks. I was so excited for that ghetto fighting game, i spent ages watching the computers duke it out in the demo that was posted a while back...

Any hoo ill have a peek at the movie in a sec, currently downloading

[BlinkOk]

Yeah, i know... Actually you were able to play it during 2 or 3 months, but just full of bugs because of the bad database (too bad, you was really able to level up your characters, buy your clothes and weapons etc etc)... Of course you had to register on the client's site, but i remember that ever the home page displayed bugs... Anyway the still is still playable on my hardrive, it's just that you need to set the values yourself in the code (the simplest way is, like in the demo, to set all the outfits/weapons to random, and set medium values for your abilities... actually when you started the real game, you wasn't even able to jump above your character, your jump was more realistc...)

Ha, someone already asked me; so just in case, this is not a video, it's flash live, with AI controlled characters (their AI for the demo is set between 4 and 7 if i remember correctly, meaning they are quite strong if you play against them for real :-). It shows the arcade mode (splitted screen), then the score mode... I'm working on the puzzle mode right now, and changed it completely. It's now really interesting, though it requires a lot of additional work because of the level design...


thanks Blink :-)

Ah, now this makes me happy!

The game reeks of style and polish, this is going to be huge! Can't wait to give it a go. Again, the small details, like splashing water, really make this game shine. I just wish the demo mode went for longer!

[mr_malee]

yeah, totally rocks, so smooth. Love the sounds and special effects

you get

[Gloo pot]

Geez that is some realy professional stuff. I supose i cant say much more? You dont need advice on the game cose itsa rock'n hard already, your grafics and sounds are just so perfect for the sytle and idea, and the whole package is worth paying some decent money for!

How are you going about making money from this game?

Im am so excited for the release of this game, and im so happy for you to have created such an awsome game. Top work! (Geez that has some corney - ness to it)

[SaphuA]

Everything has already been said..

Hotness!

[Captain_404]

all very well done, it makes me jealous of your graphical skillz!

[Ray Beez]

Like Freakin Wow!
:-d

[marmotte]

Thanks for aaaaall those comments! I'm glad that you think the game is great...

Status: i'm still working on the "Puzzle Mode", it's quite challenging to create some puzzles, but it's an interesting job. And it gives another dimension to the game, knowing that the goal is really different from the other main mode, "Arcade Mode". Anyway...

How are you going about making money from this game?

I'm currently targetting different game markets... The flash version will stay online (though my 1st intention was to sell it for the offline market); as i said, the game will be available for PC/Mac/Linux (fully developped in C++), and then... i'll try higher and higher (while working on some new games, i really want to keep a great quality for every game i/we'll release)

Talking about quality, the soundtrack of "Bubble islands" will rule ^_^

Very nice work marmotte, very beautiful game. Wish you the best of luck for it.
