do you except 3d animators?
or 3d art?

Nov. 4, 2009 | 5:01 PM BoMToons responds:

maybe, the gameplay would still be 2d, but the sprites could be rendered in 3d.

Sounds very cool. Can't wait to hear more on it.

I've heard of shoot'em-ups, but never shmups. I'm also too lazy to look up what it means. Is a shmup the same thing as a shoot'em'up, or is it specific to the you-are-in-a-ship-and-you-have-to-avo id-millions-of-bullets game area?

Nov. 4, 2009 | 5:04 PM BoMToons responds:

From WIKIPEDIA:

Shoot 'em up (also known as shmup) is a subgenre of shooter video games. In a shoot 'em up, the player controls a lone character, often a spacecraft, shooting large numbers of enemies while dodging their attacks. The genre in turn encompasses various types or subgenres and critics differ on exactly what design elements constitute a shoot 'em up. Some restrict the definition to games featuring spacecraft and certain types of character movement; others allow a broader definition including characters on foot and a variety of perspectives. Shoot 'em ups call for fast reactions and for the player to memorise levels and enemy attack patterns. Newer "bullet hell" games feature overwhelming amounts of enemy projectiles, the patterns of which the player must memorise in order to avoid.

well you see, like Osuka i use a 3d program called 3d student max which is also one of the worlds most used animation tool of the century.

i cant animate in flash because im not skilled in art that much...so i wish to be one of newgrounds few 3D animators once i finished up a couple of projects i have yet to render to flash : /

you'd just have to export them as some sort of transparent bitmap like gif or png to be imported into the flash engine

So I've read you need announcer voices? Did I get that right?

Nov. 5, 2009 | 12:08 PM BoMToons responds:

yeah, I like when games talk to you

Nov. 5, 2009 | 2:04 AM Starogre says:

didn't know you were coding it, good luck man

Nov. 5, 2009 | 12:08 PM BoMToons responds:

thx, hopefully this HUGE group of people can get something done

Nov. 5, 2009 | 8:07 AM TomFulp says:

I just realized, if this game has both horizontal and vertical scrolling levels, you're gonna make a mockery of our new genre system! I guess it could be categorized under whatever the majority of the levels are, and it will still show up under the main shooters category...

Nov. 5, 2009 | 12:09 PM BoMToons responds:

Ha ha, 3 levels in each style ... new category just for this? ;)

Nov. 5, 2009 | 4:21 PM FightingSeraph says:

What You're talking about is reminisent of Philosoma and EtherVapor. Mind if I contribute in some way?

Nov. 6, 2009 | 12:29 AM BoMToons responds:

you can get in on the art through the link I posted.

Nov. 5, 2009 | 6:37 PM TurkeyOnAStick says:

What's the screen dimensions of the game? :( Something square, I guess?

Nov. 6, 2009 | 12:30 AM BoMToons responds:

not sure...since we're doing 2 directions it might be...haven't decided yet...

Nov. 7, 2009 | 3:29 AM LegolaSS says:

Nov. 7, 2009 | 6:11 PM BoMToons responds:
