[/center].::Blast Arena::.[center]

Hey guys ,

Ive been working on my latest (and first) game for quite some time now , called Blast Arena , a 2 player comedy-based game that will make you go lol at sight of the first screenshot !

2 guys Marko and Dax , are the best on their planet when it comes to playing Blast Arena (not the pc version) , a death-match style game ,where you kill the other player and/or keep yourself alive . To find out who is the best of them , Marko and Dax arrange a battle out in a new and funky arena to see who will blast the other first in this comedy-based game , the only problem however ..... is that Marko and Dax are simply spheres !


Features :

* Stunning 3D cartoon graphics

* An exciting split-screen view

* A 2-player game allowing you to take on who ever you wish from family members and friends .

* 3 Rounds to try different strategies in each one of them , just incase plan A didnt work !

* Lots of Blasters to collect , each with its own special power .

* A Skill Highscore board to compete for the highest rank .

* No Pause button to show your opponents no mercy ! (lol)

* Highly Addicting and Free !


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Coming Soon :

* 4 player support with 2 new characters , Brock and Jason for complete family mayhem !
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

===========================================
Controls :
===========================================

:: Dax ::

Movement : Arrow Keys

Skills :-

Keypad 7 : Use Blaster (after you've collected one )
Keypad 8 : Speed 1 (Turbo) <- for knocking opponent off or escaping

:: Dax ::

Movement :

W : Forward
S : Backwards
A : Left
D : Right

Skills :-

J : Use Blaster (after you've collected one )
K : Speed 1 (Turbo) <- for knocking opponent off or escaping


==================================================

Screenshots :-

Marko (player 1)


Dax (player 2)



Sorry im too busy with the game , ill post more ingame shots when i can .

What do you think so far ?



In DBP - 3D is easier than 2D , 2 player is easier than Single player , Dont you think life rocks .. ?

well at least you have a basic set of information about your game...?

How far have you gotten with the game so far?
Very Start - got game idea down, just gotta program it
Start - have basic movement system / level
Middle - have the main game code done, adding Special fx etc..
End - Getting out the Polish?

Thats true... but just to prevent that, I know that he's got more progress done because I saw it on msn.. so that should keep this thread running a little longer...

@Wiggett

Right on!

setting the sync rate to 0 is actually not a good idea(i think). If you do that, your game will get diffrent results on computers. It may even be unplayable for some. I would suggest putting the sync rate on 30 or 60(I always use 60 myself)
Just think about it, if you had a really good computer and got around 500 frames per second, the game would be unplayable etc. So i would say it's best to lock the frame rate.

But it's looking good!

Wow , never really thought of that , sure , ill try to set it to 60 (but not less) and see what happens .


Quote: "But it's looking good! "


Thanks , any more comments are really appreciated .

(Lets not forget there will be some awesome music to go with each round ,they are famous music tracks by famous artists , but i will remix em a bit and state the artist /band that the song is made by .)

And a skill highscore board that im sure y'all will be looking forward to ace it .

Once again , any more comments are really appreciated .

Another thing you have to look at is that for a computer game the minimum FPS that tricks human eyes to see it as moving pieces and not just still images in 13 FPS it's slow but if you can't get what you want make sure it is at least 13

movies - 24
television - 30

@antidote : sure ,fps is gonna be more than 13 though

PS : My game has been inspired by Zotoaster's X-Ball 3D , one I saw his character, Blast Arena was born .

in those screens with four players it looks hard to tell one player aprt from another, maybe some dividing lines?

Im not stupid not to notice that , its just that ive tried every possible way to divide the screen , and the latest ive got is a flashing white line dividing it , i have no idea on how to make it still and not blink .

this code places a divider between the two screens, just take note of the positions I gave the two viewports.



if there is one thing I can NOT tolerate, it`s intolerant people.

The game is looking good. Look in code snippets for examples of game collision. Lots of work has been done.

Can't wait to play.

@Gogeta :
thanks Gogeta , it'll be really nice of you if you can stop blocking me ,I wont be noobish no more .

Heres a tip for blue light , The characters dont look good ,even though i know the reason (to make the game loading faster,etc) , but some gamers wont understand that . Sure you'll have an online mmo in the end , but it would look better if they really were characters and not cyber stick men , But the view is great , even better than my favourite mmo (eng.pristontale.com , which is what made me like game making) . Ops , I think i went a little too offtopic , anyways , Id like to thank the guys at TGC (like gogeta , cash curtis ,Xenocythe, TDK man , you know yourselves) for supporting me and giving me tips .

@keemo: if u didnt heard the news about blo, thats bad..
dbp ide deleted me some source files of my game (3 of them - which means half of game)
anyhow, im stoping working on that, and ill try to make something else, or just restart coding the game~ idk..
but the reason im using bone man in my game, is:
1) very easy to animate them, and i got around 10 animations on my bone guy..
2) also its v. fast to load them as u said..
3) im not modeler, i cant create a good looking ppls + bone them, its kinda hard for me
and what u mean by "im blocking you"?
i just gave u some suggestions to make your game looking better with some cartoon style..

oh, and thx for telling me that my game is better then Pristontale.. NOW im happy!

thanks Xeno ,

@ Gogeta : I only said te view looked better , but ofcourse pristontale's graphics are much much better , dont feel sad , im telling you the obvious truth , and its because PT was made by a real company , and you should feel happy since you were able to make one of the features in your game better than a commercial one !

@the rest of TGC :

Keep em coming !

em = comments
