30 LBS. LOST & New Game!

Posted by BoMToons - November 1st, 2008

I've been working out and eating right for the last 9 weeks and I just reached my 30 lb. weight loss mark! My goal weight is sill another 15 lbs. so wish me luck.

Additionally, please check out this game made by Ansel and I.

The back story is that Ansel's programmer (ahem, Coaly) bailed out of the project and Ansel was hoping to submit it for the MaxGames contest which ended last night.

Well, Ansel asked me to help out last Saturday so all his hard work on animating sprites wouldn't go to waste. So yeah, it's been a really hectic week as I started from scratch and programmed my guts out on the game. I can't believe it turned out as well as it did. :)

Side-Note: Check out the pause feature (press "P"). I'm using some bitmap data screenshot manipulation, I thought it was pretty nifty.

I hope you like it!

HolyPeanuts 2008-11-01 18:51:18

Holy shit I went into that fucking bar a million times trying to see my character....
And I never saw it...

But low and behold there he is in your screenshot =P.

That game was pretty cool!

BoMToons 2008-11-01 18:51:18

tehslaphappy 2008-11-01 19:05:31

Woo! Weight loss!

I-smel 2008-11-01 19:39:05

This game is SO DAMN FAB. I was like AW SHIT SOME GAME GOT IN THAT CONTEST AND IT'S DOIN WAY BETTER THAN MINE, but then I was all OH SHIT IT'S THAT ANSEL PIRATE GAME. Then I played it an I was like OOOOOHHHHHH SNAAPPPPPPPPP THIS SHIT IS TIGHT YO!!!!!

Fix the framerate thing. Maybe it's just me, but most of the game ran at like 12fps. Then when I got to the bar and at a couple other quiet points, it ran alot higher. Are you usin runtime bitmap caching on static art? Tried it without the crazy black n white pausing business? Maybe it's just me, I dunno. Read that first paragraph again.

BoMToons 2008-11-01 19:39:05

Yes, I'm caching what I can, but on the first part with all the pirates animated and cheering it runs a bit slow, though 12 FPS seems like an exaggeration :-P I don't think the BW pause is hurting anything tho.

I just keep re-reading the 1st paragraph

I-smel 2008-11-01 19:42:59

Oh nevermind, you can toggle quality with Q.

thedo12 2008-11-01 19:55:55

an you explain to me what thoose bombs were for?

the squid is the last enemy but as far as I can tell it dosent do anything to him,
anyways great game, I just though it was going tobe longer.

BoMToons 2008-11-01 19:55:55

Just updated the file with an extra bit of boss at the end, the bombs help you out with him. :)

Sysko 2008-11-01 21:12:53
