The most important part of a game project, the title screen, is ready. The big question is: who will we control in this GOTY of 2013?

>>22183767
how about a group of teens drawn from all the diffrent schools of metal? it allows for a greater variety of character designs than only glamrock.

>>22183801

The lich, obviously.

An early version of lich sprite is born. What now?

File: 1356274941539.jpg-(225 KB, 1170x911, TruckerQuest.jpg)

For fucks sake, OP... I decided to leave my wacom behind because I thought that "I don't really think I'll need it this christmas", and now you are creating something I really, really want to draw graphics for...

>22183801
I'd go for the neon skull himself.

>>22183836
That lich is too fat. Give him a robe or something.

>>22183836
Inventory is important too

>>22183865
yeah, robe, but keep him chubby and cute. that way it takes less effort to keep a nice style

can we somehow help too? contrubitung sprites or something? I dont know anything bout gamemaker so im clueless

>>22183878
GraphicsGale is pretty good for sprite making.

>>22183878
I'm cool so far, thank you!
>>22183866
>>22183872
>>22183865
I guess a robe can be a part of equipment so inventory system now!

The goal of the game is to use your dance-magicks against the incoming murderhobo hordes. We are Neon Skull, the discolich.

>>22183890
meh, does that mean we will always be in the same location?

>>22183890
soooo, how do you magick? by playing a mini-ddr with the wasd keys?

>>22183899
Same location which we can pimp up and change with magical moves.

>>22183899
No. We are nomadic, seeking to spread our jives to the sheep.

what about companions?

>>22183899
>>22183906
>>22183909
>>22183913
Speaking art asset wise, one location would be easier then multiple different ones, since now there's only one guy doing it.

>>22183929
Actually, don't mind that. This is way too early for criticism.

Go crazy with the ideas.

>>22183929
You could have one set of tiles and then just change their colors and claim it's a different place.

It's been in production for ~45 minutes. Of course it doesn't look terrific yet.

Incidentally, I know a bit of GML and could probably help with any programming questions you might have or at least point you in the right direction. It's been a while.

>>22183972
>implying this doesnt look terrific
>implying that this isnt the best thing that happened on tg for some time

i am overly optimistic.

>>22183983
Well... it doesn't look as terrific as it could just yet, then.

>>22183984
i can agree with that.

OP, any input youd want right now?

Yisss, equipment system (well, currently only neon shades) is -kinda- working! To celebrate the next idea for a headgear will get in!

...oh yeah, we should have some kind of combat. How will it look like?
>>22184059
welcome aboard!

>>22184074
Street fighter-esque keyboard input for spells. We are a discolich.
Also, what are the dimensions on the lich? And by dimension I mean something like 40x20 pixels.

>>22184074
Dance-offs.

You learn new moves as you level, and using them in certain combinations puts opponents off balance, breaking their combos. First to fill their FUNK meter and unleash their super-cool step finisher wins.

Possibly toss in some environmental bonuses and liabilities- rave parties probably won't appreciate line dancing, for example, but using disco in a disco club should get applause from onlookers.

The coldwave gnomes?

>>22184146
That 3/4 beat with slap bass has been used for DECADES, man.

But I'm also really into Muse so that might be a part of it

>>22184152
Yeah, as I said, that was a quick fuck-about. I'll work on it.

>>22184146
yeah, the baseline, but otherwise?

also i dont know music. Is that the baseline? I fear it isnt.

>>22184157
make a version without too much disco also because that shit is dope as fuck.

never used that word, dope. But feels good.

Coldwave gnomes interupted our hero's sleep while digging to deep

>>22184197
They look so sad.
How adorable!

>>22184160

He means the swing-time beat and heavy bass.
Sticking a name on for the sake of this thread.

>>22184210
That name should be the name of some finisher move, or something.

Characters, tag-team companions/enemies/rivals:

>I'm having an octagonal child
Pinup robot

>1,2,3,5,9,11...
Afro paladin

>Fuck you
The man

>If your monkey is acting up, you might need to feed it, you know? Have you considered that? Your monkey might need feeding, ye.
Hippy adventurer

>You remember the song of fatherland? You must remember the song of fatherland, surely!
Vampire Skank and her eyeglasses

>I feel that there's a tranquil sunset, in my mind, which means that the world is going to be a pretty cool place.
Afro Paladin again.

>>22184157
It was similar enough that I caught it right away. The drum beat comes in at about the same point and the chord progression sounds similar in the beginning. Yours is more up tempo though. It sounds good, it just immediately made me think of Muse.

File: 1356278729193.png-(14 KB, 589x324, coldwave gnome1.png)

Coldwave gnomes can now walk around and summon a literally cold wave which damages our hero

>>22184113
Should do Panic Station instead, more funk.

I love this.
I love you.
Alright. I'm in my first year to get a bachelor of engineering in fucking video game design. Let's fucking apply that knowledge.
Let's do this.

Every bone in my body tells me this should have a 2.5d perspective, like streets of rage or final fight.

>>22184315
It wasn't supposed to be a cover or anything. I didn't even realise the similarities until anon pointed it out.

WITH THAT SAID.

Here's a two-minute looping version, with a much more 80's-style synth, and the beat reverb changed for MAXIMUM CHEESE.

>>22184324
I don't disagree

>>22184337
>that song title

>>22184337
In order to discofy it, you need to add some more emphasis to certain beats
think Ewin Starr's War

>>22184370

Good point. I'll get on it.

I'm posting what I've got every so often to spark ideas and the like, so feel free to throw ideas at me for other tracks or changes to ones I'm doing

>>22184342
you can have just one kick button and one punch button. or even just one punch button. And you 'cast spells' by doing a combination of movements that basically looks like a dance.

for example, left punch punch, right punch punch, up.

It also depends how complex you want this, whether you're allowing for pauses as part of the combination, whether holding a button or pressing two buttons at the same time can be part of the combination.

although I appreciate the amount of work OP's already put into this and this idea would require changing a lot of things already made.

>>22184381
Doin good so far. I'd like to hear something a little more funk/groove though. But that's just because I'm selfish and I like funk music.

>>22184396
if I can make a request, make him always facing forward so that he can moonwalk when he moves backwards

>>22184406

YES.

This cannot be ignored, OP

>>22184406
this will kinda fuck everything up, will try to get around to it, though

WEAPONS! What kind of weapons our lich should have?

>>22184415
pimp cane?

>>22184415
the ability to summon a disco ball that blinds/disorients enemies?

>>22184415
Pimp Cane for melee
The ability to throw certain headwear Michael Jackson's Moonwalker-style

>>22184415

Bass guitar made of bones?

Also, toying with the idea of making a funky version of Bach's Toccata and Fugue as title music. Yes/no?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ipzR9bhei_o#t=10s

>>22184415
nothing but a microphone and his dance-based abilities.

>>22184415
Throwing-Records
Chunky headphones
Bag-O-Discs
Large salted fish

>>22184437
i say this. different microphones, but you mainly fight with spells. mics buff the spells

>>22184436
yes

Few longer things more

>The trees are very concerned about the level of beatboxing in their local area. What're we gonna do 'bout it? They say, or do they? No, check it.
The mad elf with beard.

>I think it's really important to realize, that all around you, are people who are really good at things, you know? Near you, like here, in the world near you are amazing people who'll you never know, because you don't ask them.
Afro Paladin, again.

>Local trees are very concerned about local beatboxing and especially the cars disturbing said beatboxing. I spoke to one resident and he said this: Buttttts-khaa, tr tr tr khaa bu buttts, khaa tr tr khaa...
The mad elf with beard

Demons listen dubstep and grindcore.
Angels listen to classic music.

>>22184454
What about if each spell also has one special 'attack'?
Regular Microphone. (Special attack is a simple AOE)
Microphone with stand. (Extends range of spells, Special attack is one big line, left and right of you.)
Skull Microphone (Ups damage. Special attack makes a skeleton fall from the sky, directly in front of you. Deals massive damage)
Wireless Microphone (Ups speed of attack/lowers cooldown. Special is a slightly bigger AOE attack.)
Microphone with halo (Slightly extends range and power. special is a circle around you. Doesn't hit things that are directly around you, but one 'tile' further. Deals plenty of damage)
Bat Microphone (Speeds up movement, allows for higher jumps. special is a large bat-summoning AOE attack that doesn't deal too much damage.)

>>22184522
badass

>>22184522
each microphone has a special attack.

So we have disco lIch and afro paladin, how about ghost in red leather? Little bit of mikey in here.

>>22184590
NEEDS MORE NEON.

And we simply must have a ghoul that talks about sex in the middle class and little girls constantly

>>22184454
This is defnitely a must for the weapons.

>>22184428
One of the spells our discolich can use should be summoning a disco ball, that hovers in front of him and causes everything on the screen to stop moving then take damage, with an awesome animation.

Needs a hip, young hero with a violin and a duel with the devil to complete. If at all possible, show glimpses of their musical battle throughout the level preceding the reveal.

A flash of lightning and their shadows on the wall. Bits of Devil Went Down To Georgia cutting into the level's music as you open a door to go to the next area. Scorched walls, a bloody fiddle bow stuck in the floor, things of that nature.

And when you finally get to him, he's sitting in a chair in front of a fireplace, back to the camera. He knocks over the chair as he stands, brandishes a golden fiddle, and the epic showdown between the Dread Dead Genres of Disco and Classic Country begins.

Ends in jolly cooperation to take on Rock.

>>22184721
I don't think we should start with a pompadour.
I think we have to earn it.

I'm sure it's just for testing, anon.

File: 1356281767432.gif-(21 KB, 350x350, 1337147815499.gif)

So what are the plans for the combat? so far we have 2.5D fighting, more complex style stuff with pimp canes and disco balls or just full on DDR. we need to decide.

also, pic related. You earned it.

>>22184738
I didn't really add any item to pick up so far so it's there just for testing

Hammered another quick one out, a victory / score screen sort of theme. More laid-back than the other one.

Also, any ideas you want me to run with? I'm kind of working in the dark a little, but for now I suppose that's alright, lots of room for ideas.

Classic castlevania-style with linear levels full of unique bosses. Each level could be connected with one music style or something..

The Discofex would make a great boss. Oh, it must be done.

>>22185086
give me info and I will do it
>>22185129
not yet but it's a great idea

there should also be kurt cobain haircut helmet, the weapon pendant to it would be a shotgun

>>22185111
Oh god I just had an idea. It might be extremely hard to implement, but what if your shots got stronger if you fired in sync with the background music's beat? It could add a rhythm-game mechanic to the normal gameplay.

>>22185150
well, a carnifex is a tyranid (bug creature from Wh40k)

here is a link to it on the wh40k-wiki-thingy:

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Carnifex#.UNdDSm9hDRI

discotheme that bitch

Your phylactery is your checkpoint. You can carry your checkpoint and set it anywhere, but what if an enemy touches it?

>>22185191
You then lose your checkpoint and the next time you die, you have to restart the level.

>>22185191

Perhaps the Phylactery is a big disco ball. You can't attack whilst carrying it, so you have to put it down somewhere first.

>>22184340

Afro Paladin, should be shirtless, his hair would be magical enhanced to be strong as plate, and his afro, mustache combo should be his helmet.
Would smite with a hip thrust.

>>22185150
Just a funny concept of a Carnifex (tyranid creature from 40k) that loves disco and dresses in a stereotypical 80s fashion. Was created after some guy complained about the 'lame' design of the carnifex in the 80s. Thread where he was created:
https://archive.foolz.us/tg/thread/20112142/#20112446

>>22185217

Maybe throws long-toothed combs kept in his giant hair?

>>22185210
Avinyl record that gets more cracked each time you die

Instead of straight up boss fights it should be dance offs.

>>22185246

So lives? That works. I suppose an extra life is a floating vinyl record?

>>22185257

Parappa The Rapper-style call-and response?

Maybe have them in between combat bits, like, at 2/3s and 1/3 of the boss's health, then one final dance-off when his bar's all gone.

Which, come to think of it, would be ridiculously awesome.

>>22185266
Oh hell yeah, after each segment the music gets more frantic and intense.

>>22185266
yeah! Dont JUST have them dances, make em minigames!

>>22185168
it could be like how guns are reloaded in Gears of War, if you are right on the beat, your shots get a little bonus, if youre close to the beat, your shots are ok and if youre just not even close to the beat, then your shots are bad

Hell yeah.

Smite (5MP): Hip Thrust do ranged damage
Groove kick (2MP): Melee hit with knockback effect
Rhythm Divine(10MP): Ranged where you point to the sky, and a Vinyl appears (DBZ style) and flyes toward enemy, while pointing to it.
Sparklin healin(Half MP): Stars and music notes heals you for 1/4 of your health.

HP and MP(Music Points)

They're both already looped, no silence at either end, as long as the download doesn't bug out.

I am going to laugh my ass off if we somehow manage to actually implement all these suggestions.

Then I'm going to archive this shit.

>>22185379
If you walk off the edge your char seems to dissapear forever, that's no good. Maybe make it loop for now? controls feel a bit finnicky at the moment as well but they're fine as is, and i can't wait for the finished/semi-finished product to try it out with my gamepad

>>22185580
Let's replace the sound waves with a music note. Save the sound waves for our first combo move.

But anyway. We need to focus on more important things right now, like making the game actually winnable.

>>22185580
Is that Miami?

It should be Miami.

so whats the plot?

Can the Liche be trying to get his soul back? Have David Bowie steal it. Make him a shape shifter. Thats why he can have a "TRUE FORM!" And he steals it from the best up and coming musicians, to adopt to the current age. Fucking david Bowie.

This is actually shaping up into a pretty decent looking game, OP. If it gets good enough maybe we should make a Vita port and sell it.

Also a tiny update, game shows you what kind of creature are you attacking.

>>22186145
Can you tell me what

is supposed to be?

>>22186145
Change the attack from a straight moving fireball / sound wave / etc to something a little more difficult to use

>ideas
Could be a record that flies forward and down at a 315 degree angle, then bounces off the ground, walls, enermies etc, vanishing after a few bounces. You can only fire one at a time, so keeping track of where you think it will go is important for the sake of rate of fire

Musical notes that fly up and fall on the enermy in the same manner as hammers from Super Mario.

Or even just jumping on their heads

/tg/ truly is the greatest board

>>22186197
This is good.

There's reason why Marios fireball is so fun.

It's like a moving, jumping artillery.

>>22186119
The rhythm shooting is in already, obviously not perfect but looks like a nice random mechanics.

>>22185880
>(what was his name anyway?
Lichy martin

>>22186197
It would be pretty cool if ideas like this were incorporated as different, more difficult to use but more power attacks. I don't mind the sound wave attack (in fact, I love the way it gets stronger if you time it to the rhythm, would be nice to see that applied to other attacks). But, to make the game more interesting, I think it should be one of the weaker attacks to encourage you to use trickier but more powerful ones.

>>22186158
oh, I just used this to synchronize the soundtrack beats with the upgraded attack system.
>>22186197
Yeah, different kinds of basic weapon with different power/pattern are a good idea.

>>22186237
Now that I think about it, the way I was doing it (timing everything not just the beat) was incredibly shit. Tying it to the beat rather than to every other part of the song as well would be both much easier and much better

Could make different levels more interesting, as you get a different attack with a different rate of fire based on the speed and type of BGM

>>22186253
Horrible.

How hard would it be to implement a mechanic in which your attacks change damage and speed value according to the soundtrack?

Like the more bass, the stronger the attack is, and they rhythm changes the rate of fire.

This is now the official soundtrack.

Best way for us to help OP is to do all the art assets for him, and if we do it like this we can shoulder more of the mundane tasks that underlie the creation of a game

>>22186435
he's already doing the art, idiot.

anything else?

I already have Vice City, but still need Bioshock 1. Sue me.

That's truly glorious. I can't wait to drop my sick beats on him, shit's gonna be cash.

Op, any idea when we'll be getting a v02 download link?

File: 1356293068568.png-(3 KB, 200x100, 1.png)

Here is a concept for an enemy - giant flying hair-flipping head. It attacks you by flipping It's hair, and smelling bad

>>22186480
Drums that create a short range damage AoE (could be accomplished by having it launching an attacks in every direction around you simultaneously)?

>>22186480

I think vinyl and cassettes should be collectibles.

High rate of fire, low damage, small projectiles. Absolutely essential.

funeral doom metal reapers
christian rock fallen angels

>>22186624
Also industrial hazmat crew

>>22186560
Awesome, looks 10x better than the previous versions. The zombie guy kind of walks off the screen right away, and the gorilla just sits there flashing, and once i change to the trumpet i can't change back,

But the music sounds awesome, the art is superb and the little musical notes add an awesome touch.

>>22186378
You made me shiver in joy.

>>22186389
while I like the name a lot. I still recommend that he is the villain of the game. As he stole from the hippies and became David Zombowie. Then He stole the soul of Glam and became Ziggy Bonedust, then he stole soul of our hero, and became the Thin White Skeleton. So its the hero's quest to defeat him, and reclaim his Philactory, his soul.

It allows for a bad guy who can change a lot, and has A TRUE FORM!!! Also, you could have enemies like, the Diamond Dogs, a henchmen named Halloween Jack etc.

>>22186686
this guy knows what he's saying

But in that case we need a name for our hero

>>22186560
>>22186658

Sorry for the lack of updates. Got bros 'round for a pre-christmas drink-up. I'll update later once things have wound down a bit.

Stay funky, anon.

I would like to add a suggestion, that the Devo Energy Dome hats become a wearable armour item in the game? needs more Devo...

>>22186378
I now eagerly await the Discofex sprite design. He doesn't even have to be an enemy. You could just gain the ability to temporarily summon him and watch him bust a move in your enemies' faces.

>>22186695
Michael Boneson

>>22186686
Also David Bowie fucking hated Gary Newman, which seems to be pretty well represented by the idea of this game. Bowie referred to him derogatory like as "the Whiz Kid". Maybe the Liche's name is the Wizard Kid? Hrm. Not epic enough.

>>22186737
Harry newbones?

>>22186737
whiz kid is a pretty awesome name in my book for a sly manipulative character

Of course the Lich has a mortal enemy among the undead hunters of the world.

Now, I did a thing and somebody took paladin from the thing and turned him into a thing, so that thing was ok. What other things we need and can I do those things, if needed?

>>22187398
Now that you're back, is there anything i can do to help you?

I can try my hand at sprites, if you need. Won't be as good as yours but even if they need touching up it could save you time.

cool, although I am still not sure how deeply the combat is based in music, is there an easy explanation you could give me?

>>22188506
I assume it would be like in Mother 3: music would have beats and by following those beats, you get combat/damage bonuses.

>>22188531
Also, can somebody please archive this thread?

>>22188506
You do more damage when the timing of your shots matches the rhythm of the music. I'm not sure if it's checked upon firing or upon impact though.
