Hello Everyone, Stuffy here!
I stumbled across this great website a few weeks back and started to settle in. Now I love to make comedy genre-type of games and bring laughter to this great neighborhood of game developers. I am also a full-time comedian for my family and would love to share that with the world.
The Magnificent Wacky, Smacky, and Goofy Adventure is a 2D top-down, pixelized, action, plus comedy game about 4 characters who team up and go on a wacky and weird adventure to defeat the evil lord of trash-talking. Yeah, that is it. A very basic start for me, as I don’t want to get too big. I plan to add co-op into the game shortly and other stuff-yes I am going way into the future even though I never started making the game. I just love to dream though…But anyway, I will also add some backstories and lore while I make the game. So if you want to be pinged for updates, No problem!
Welcome to Flowlab! This sounds kinda interesting, I really hope that this goes on a path different from a lot of other Flowlab games and actually releases.
Yeah, I experienced that already. I seen so many game developers talk about their games, but never finish them. It’s like they suddenly disappear ya know? Do you know what happened to them?
The Walkers. They were tempted by the light of the Walkers. They embraced the light. But just like the sun melted Icarus’s wax wings, the light of the Walkers melted away their souls, leaving but subservient husks.
Nah, in reality a big part of developing a game is getting through a lot of the boring and dreadful stuff, I’m kinda going through that right now myself. A lot of them give up, and honestly. I kinda get it. Gamedev is hard.
Here is our fantastic leader of the group of 4! His name is Red. Yes. The color red. I know, such a cool name, moving on!
Name: Red Colors. (Yes, his last name is Colors.)
Age: 15.
Likes: Sushi, Kabeb.
Backstory: Chosen by the well of enlightenment, he has gained the sword of leadership. He is a very arrogant and stubborn kid, but also clumsy and kind.
Here is our grumpy and cold brutal fighter in the group! His name is Kuro Black. All of these characters will have a color as their last name or first. Don’t judge.
Name: Kuro Black
Age: 16
Likes: Being mean.
Backstory: No one knows where he came from or has a story, but he just seems to travel with the group. He is very grumpy and seems to almost never sleep.
Age: 16
Name: Kimi Pink.
Likes: Sweets. Sweets. Still sweets. More sweets.
Backstory: Born into a family that owned a candy shop, she loved to bake and eat sweets. So she now adventures with the group sharing the world of sweets. (Also her bubbly and cheerful attitude.)
Name: Seiko Blue.
Age: 15
Likes: Nature, pranking.
Backstory: She lived in a tribe in the forest, but decided to leave and become a traveler meeting the group in one of her visits through a town.
I think the walking animation is pretty good. The problem is you can’t press two keys at the same time. Like, let’s say if you press the left and down together, it will result in the animation not working. So I will try to figure out that minor problem. Other than that, the goal today is to make all the characters follow Red Colors…like for example in this game:
Then if I have time I will also code the attacking system and dialogue.
I think the walking animation is pretty cool. But if you’d like to make the walking animation look more nice you could try making Red swing his arms when he walks. If you don’t know how to replicate that you could look at Frisk’s walking animations from Undertale for reference. And if you want to make diagonal walking animations you could use logic gates.
Logic gates? I could try but I am new to the coding system, so I would need some help. As for the animation I plan to improve it, but I am working about the other first.
