Seeking collaborators on game - code/music/gfx
I'm looking for skilled individuals to collaborate on a game concept I'm working on.
Here's a short explanation of what I have in mind, hopefully without giving away too much info to everyone:
* Instant action/endless gameplay - this game will not be something you can beat. Score is based on time of survival.
* Platform game on 5 different themed single screen levels.
* Single player but maybe two player co-operative and or deathmatch mode available.
Unfortunately I'm no coder so I really don't know whats possible in terms of movement sprite animation, but I will explain my idea closer to those who are interested. I will contribute most of the graphics myself but I do welcome more experienced artists to join if they're interested.
My hope for this project is well actually if it ever gets done I'll be very happy but I would love for it to enter a contest like RGCD 16 K cartridge contest next year.
If you're interested drop me a PM.
EDIT added mockup sprite animation:

Super Zombie Fighter - early mockup of ingame action
I clearly have some more work to do regarding the zombies, also I have just started out experimenting with level graphics. |

Thank you!
I have one musician that has promised to take a look at it already. But as I told him until I have a coder I don't even know if I will be able to realize this concept.
I will keep you both posted and then we'll see if either of you are still available at when the time comes.
Who would have thought a C64 assembler coder would be so hard to find in 2013... :P |

@Dane: Most probably it's rather the RGCD deadline than the Intro Compo Deadline (both 30th of Nov) which prevents skilled game coders from joining. Guess after RGCD it might make sense for a good gfxian with an interesting game concept to contact some of its competitors directly. |

those are pretty tempting mockups. I dont see the platformness in there tho, only one screen wide platform. one problem technically with that: if all moving objects are on the same level vertically you will hit the 8 sprite limit faster than you whish. you need to consider that. |

@Oswald
Thanks for the input. I need to ponder a bit on that. One of the reasons I wanted to do a single platform is that I don't want to create a place where you can camp so to speak. |

I've realised that I can't be so secretive and need to reveal more regarding my concept so here's a more detailed description of: Super Zombie fighter
Basics:
Type: Endless beat 'em up survival
Objective: Survive i.e. eat, drink and kill/avoid zombies (bites = death)
Other: Platform game on single screens, although multiple levels
Two-player competition mode
Score/Survival
* Score awared on time of survival
* Energy and liquid levels constantly dimishes to survive you must eat and drink.
* Without energy you will not be able to jump or fight.
* Without water you will get dizzy and die.
* Knocking over or killing a zombie will make it drop whatever i carries, for example food and water.
* Extra levels and characters are unlocked after a certain time.
How to die
* Touch front of Zombie (unless kicking)
* Do not eat for XXX seconds
* Do not drink for XX seconds
Movement
You can run, jump and double jump.
Characters
* Ninja
* Boy
* Girl
* To be revealed
Fighting
* Kick - pushes hit zombie back and other zombies behind it. Repetitive kicks will make zombie fall over.
* Jump kick - pushes hit zombie back and makes it fall over..
Weapons
You have one weapon that can be thrown to kill a zombie. The weapon will get stuck in the zombie and must be picked up from corpse before it can be thrown again.
Zombies
The undead walk in from left or right and follows the player relentlessly.
* Normal zombie - Walks around trying to eat you.
* Strong Zombie - Same as above but requires double the amount of kicks/jump kicks to fall over.
* Fast Zombie - Faster than the average Zombie
I've still got some secrets up my sleeve but this together with my mockups should give you an idea on how the game will look and play. |
