Adventures of Captain Spook by Dunric 2014-08-27T15:05:00

@K55 I don't understand. Explain?

@cstudios I put the files uncompressed in a public folder, is that correct? I'm a bit new to all this.

@dancingmad Why is it not fun? Please elaborate.

@SoulGame Thank you. I know it's (very) far from perfect. Always looking to improve. The hitboxes are a bit off because they scale off the sprites and the sprites themselves ended up being a bit too big. I could've gone with pixel perfect collisions or just make the hitboxes much smaller, in retrospect. What would you add to make the fights more interesting?

Thanks for the comments so far. I'm still very new to this, and just wanted to make a game for Ludum Dare for the first time ever. I'd like to properly reply to you guys, but have no idea how to. Sorry!

Adventures of Captain Spook by Dunric 2014-09-03T01:28:00

@mrexcessive Thanks for the info, you da real mvp.

Adventures of Captain Spook by Dunric 2014-09-08T00:50:00

@2HitMatt Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it. I've been wanting to make a beat-em-up for the longest time but never got around it. Until now I guess. There's an updated version up on Game Jolt. It has better hitboxes and a few minor changes to power ups and enemies to make it a little more interesting! http://gamejolt.com/games/action/adventures-of-captain-spook/33459/

Adventures of Captain Spook by Dunric 2014-09-12T19:16:00

@Xanjos The BGM would've made a big difference! I think it was an issue with the file format. My debugger started complaining when trying to load .mp3 files, so I converted to a more MonoGame friendly version (.wma). BGM worked fine when debugging, but when I tried to build a release version, the game crashed the same way it did with mp3 files! So I tried changing a few options in the converter, and looked around the net, but nothing really worked.

Yeah, controller support is mandatory! I was also thinking about adding more enemies (like 2-3 new ones), each with a few special abilities they would use from time to time. And then each enemy could have a chance to spawn as a champion or an elite monster, with increased stats and abilities, kind of like Diablo-style. Sort of like random minibosses. Then something like really big act bosses at the end of stage 10, 20 and 30 or something. Also, the player having more than one button to mash would probably be more interesting!

Snoika Man 2014 by Larzan 2014-12-21T12:03:00

Liked your game! Just as a side note wanted to drop by and thank you for your nice comments on my game, even though it was such an unfinished mess! Let us both work harder next time around. :)

P.Rick Airious by asobi tech 2014-12-29T11:44:00

Good job!

The Mosquito Effect (mosquito simulator) by 01rafael 2014-12-27T22:52:00

Cool!!

SNOWGAME by Dunric 2014-12-21T11:55:00

@sharp911 Drag the Ness d

@Wiering I didn't make it so I can't take the credit. :P Thanks anyway!

@ben_pxlplz What was the actual issue? Could you not get the game to run or did it crash?

@Larzan Thanks!! I'm glad that you liked it so much even if it's just a bareboned, unfinished game! Means a lot to me.

@Zwergesel Yes! It's my second time making one, and it's more difficult than I imagined! I'm still not used to Unity very much.

SNOWGAME by Dunric 2014-12-21T11:56:00

@sharp911 Sorry. I hit submit comment too early and can't edit my messages. I meant: Drag the Ness to the grid and he will block the snowmen! The game was supposed to have also units that can shoot the snowmen! I will maybe add them later on.

SNOWGAME by Dunric 2014-12-21T19:30:00

@popcorn897 Yes, I said it was unfinished myself, so your comment doesn't really add anything! I already knew this.

@joppiesaus Haha thanks! It's comments like these that makes it all worth it. :')

SNOWGAME by Dunric 2014-12-22T09:47:00

@Shivur I agree. :)

SNOWGAME by Dunric 2014-12-27T19:37:00

@Poupi Thanks for the feedback dude! You rock!

@FistBumpGames Great advice! Thanks!

SNOWGAME by Dunric 2014-12-29T14:09:00

@Valeour So many sad faces. :) Cheer up mate! It's only a game. Games are supposed to be fun. LD is supposed to be fun. So far you're the only one to complain about the rules. Why not take it for what it is? Also it's Plants vs Zombies, not flowers.

Galactyc Budget Flights by Elemental Zeal Games Studios 2014-12-27T22:52:00

Awesome!!

Punch Squad by Sos 2014-12-21T12:26:00

Meaty Tears by Zwergesel 2014-12-21T12:05:00

Very nice! It was much harder than it looked!

snow by Valeour 2014-12-29T14:17:00

Nah, didn't really like it. Good effort, though. Don't give up. :)

Collect the Crystals by Wiering 2014-12-21T12:11:00

The concept is very brilliant, and the graphics are really nice! Nice touch adding the snowman. The only think I can think of to make it better would be to add a shadow around the unexplored parts, so there would be a sense of adventuring when you explore the world! Very good.

Fireguy by joppiesaus 2014-12-21T20:03:00

Fuck yeah! Reminds me of Mine Bombers! Loved that game as a kid. It's a game where you blast things in a cave and collect treasure. Then you buy more bombs with the treasure you collected. And you're competing against 1-3 other miner bombers. It had some really creative stuff too, like clone cyborgs, multiplying slime that could kill you, exploding slime, nuclear bombs, etc. Loved that game. I love games where you bomb things, especially snowmen. Good job.

Dark Ages Light Meal by FistBumpGames 2014-12-27T19:36:00

That was very uhhh INTERESTING yeah that's the word. I didn't have a very much of an idea of what I was doing but it was good.

Arena by Poupi 2014-12-26T09:41:00

Noice.

Flight of the Night by popcorn897 2014-12-21T19:49:00

Nice graphics, but the controls felt kinda choppy to me. The kid is trying to run through walls. The running animation looks silly, could use a few extra frames. Also there's a child running around carrying a firearm. Obviously it's for fighting against monsters and the kid is having a dream, but could you not make it something else/more creative? Could use some BGM as well. Overall, there is something, but not all that much. Nice try though.

Contact Cowboy by jrap 2014-12-27T11:10:00

Nice!!

Creative Defense by sharp911 2014-12-21T12:16:00

Works nicely! Could do with some health bars on enemies.

Pixel Platform by Shivur 2014-12-22T09:57:00

Nice & simple game, but no music! You should always include music! Good quality royalty free music is very easy to come by these days and only takes like 5 minutes to include!

-CHAMBER- by ben_pxlplz 2014-12-21T12:07:00

Very interesting idea and decent execution! ps. when you comment on a game you could leave a slightly more detailed explanation on why you couldn't get the game to run. It would be more helpful. Just a heads up bro!
