Game 2

Yeah, so Nathan is being a tool. Until he gives us code, I have another thing done. Didn't take as long as the other one because I totally stole the code from a tutorial and sped it up slightly and made the arrows fit Bill's songs slightly better.

It's not gonna be perfect, because I'm not really sure what I'm doing, but for the moment it'll do.

Make sure you click the flash before you use the buttons or else it won't work properly.

Rachie's working =D

Hmm taking a break from flash so thought i would make a blog post - haven't done one in a while and Greg seems to be taking over position of Most Frequent Poster so I can't have that!

Been given total new inspiration to do work for this module since Greggles fixed us up some code for our third game, apart from little sketches and stuff, started on an animation for the Trickster God kicking Ikki and making the game harder.

I'll post the finished edit under here, but for now here's my usual awesome sketchy style template :D

BOOOP!

Trying to save the game

Edit2:The new version is now easier so all you people with girly hands can complete it. I'm clearly some sort of freak of nature when it comes to pressing 'a'.

Edit:Updated version at the bottom.

Hey guys, seeing as we are all pretty pissed off at Nathan's disappearance, I thought I'd do something to help out. Please read the whole post before clicking the link.

I've done a tiny bit of C++ before, but I'm not very good at all, and I've never used AS 3.0, which is what I'm sure Nathan has the 1st game coded in. So this simple exercise took about 4-5 hours of looking through tutorials and crying. But I have the basis of a game developing.

This would be for our 3rd game, the war cry game where you have to press a button/s rapidly in order to get the the God to come outta the sky and kick some ass, so what I have is a timer that runs down to zero. (Even though it counts down from 60, it only takes 20 seconds, I'm very lazy and couldn't be bothered changing it to 20.)

I also have it so that if you press "a" on the keyboard the bar at the bottom fills up, at the moment I have it on a relatively easy setting so that you guys can test it and see that it works. The idea behind it is pretty simple, fill the bar up before the time runs out. The screen will then switch to a Win/Lose depending on the outcome. If you want to try it again, just hit refresh.

I know it's far from perfect, and there is still a hell of a lot to do, but I'm more than willing to work through other stuff and try and get some sort of shell of a game running, I may need help with some of my animations though, as this takes an insane amount of time because I'm constantly looking for tutorials.

Anyway, enjoy.

The dancing game

I'm not looking forward to animating this bad boy. But here is the band, and how they will transform through-out the 4 stages in the background. I tried to match it up with what instruments are used in each part, the only extra bit needed is that there is trumpets in the last song, but I might make them come out of the clouds like the god hand. I was thinking that in between each song the god can point or click his fingers and the band will magically change as it goes on. I've got to get a crowd in the background, although they will prob be silhouettes, to save time and i'll get them cheering in between each "dance"

Anyone, tried to keep them in a smiler style to Rach's, but tried to make them more simple so they don't draw too much attention away from the main character. Hope the designs are ok.

Paperwork FTW

diving into paperwork today, happy happy joy joy happy happy joy, will stick it on the docs when its done, just giving ye a heads up so you know im doing work ^_^

Me again, i guess

:)

Backtracking because of recent discoveries made on finding my contract - said i had a bear to design and animate, so made tiny thingie to show that we were considering using a bear, but i'll explain we excused it [for various reasons]
Just filling up my contract stuff hehe.

It's nothing exciting, far from it, but here's the link.

Ikkiage

Painted Ikki a bit, wondered if maybe we could use the images for the instructions page for each mini game? If not no worries :) It was good practise all the same.

ps. By the way guys, really sorry but i can't make Sunday, but if you can meet up, please do!!! I'll catch up i'm sure, we need to pester Nathan < / 3

Sorry bout missing the meeting

Yeah guys, sorry I didn't make the meeting today, my phone (which has my alarm to get me up before 2pm) buggered it's self last night while I slept. I can't phone/text atm so if someone text me (probs Steve) to tell me to get the hell to the meeting I wasn't being rude, I haven't got the text. So yeah, sorry about that, hope I didn't miss too much and if we are meeting up in the next few weeks (which we should) contact me on this or facebook til I get my phone sorted.

Motivational Speech Extraordinaire

After hearing the recent news of Nathans current disappearance without providing code for all, so I have decided to try and help cheer you up with a mega cool motivational speech   so here goes....

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of April, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation, but none of this concerns the group but stay with me here. We are fighting for our right to live and make awesome games. To exist as epic developers. And should we win the day, the end of term will no longer be known as the beginning of the summer holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: GFKG7 will not go quietly into the night! GFKG7 will not vanish without a fight! GFKG7 is going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Awesomeness Day! 

Warshout

Was gonna have a bash at the warshout character but thought i'd try figure out what i'm doing first. Looked up Rachels drawing and went with that style. I figure as it plays the body will get bigger and bigger along with the eyes and mouth. Also thought it might be fun if after a while the skin gos from black to green :)



I'm also not 100% on how to structure it for the coding. I'd thought perhaps a MC(MovieClip)of him breathing in, then another MC where he's a bit bigger, then another where he turns green and bigger, then finally the shouting one? I assume there'd be a sort of lung bar that fills up (doesn't have to a visible bar)that triggers the bigger animations but if he's kicked it drops to a previous one?

We need a programmer damn it!

:(

Your mean Greg :(  

OHai

Been a while since i've posted anything up here... Been trying to work between being ill and having other modules blablabla, you've heard it all i'm sure.

Finished the painting of the Harvest Goddess intended to serve as the menu image, worked into it to try and bridge the gap between the styles of Gregs' and the newly revealed of Adam's. I think this was quite successful, and therefore instead of asking Adam to rework his image, he can work on other things instead! :) Saving time etc etc, when we kind of only have a month left. Posting the backgrounded image here but Greg has not to worry because it is also saved as a png (with an invisible background) which i can give to him whenever.

Mmmh, well enjoy :) I think she's pretty.

Research from the front line

Even when im chillaxing I still have time to think of you all, especially you Greg ;) ive put some pics up of facebook, id put them up here but the net is so slow here that id be better off posting them because they wud get to you all faster than this blasted google uploader.
Laters <3

P.S. I smell.

Bill's Music

If he were a cow, it would be called Moosic.

His four songs are now in Google docs in a separate folder for music (along with the theme song for the group). I tried to link it so you could play it in here, but I'm not that good with computers, so you'll just have to do it manually.

Also, this is what I was meant to link last time, but uploaded the wrong damn link.

CLICK ME GOOD AND HARD

It's jumpy as hell in the browser, but fine on my computer, I think it could be that I don't have a pre-loader in it, but I'm sure you'll get the idea. It's only a movie clip atm, just to show it off. Also I made up symbols for the Gods if people want to make there own, go ahead, but until then, these will do the job. Also the only button that does anything is the God of war one, they all glow though.

Bleh

Hey kids, got my God of Plague pretty much fin, not totally happy with it though, I dunno, something about it is a bit meh.

.

Anyway by the looks of things I probably won't be making any huge changes to it, unless I have a lot of free time at the end that is. Feedback and such appreciate as usual.

Oh, and he isn't meant to have legs, I thought it looked scarier if he floated, but that could be seen as laziness.
