[IDEA] [GAME] Gear Up! - Yo-Yo Boy - 12-10-2011
So i've been working on a game for a while (only sprites and music, no coding yet) and I really want to show it to you guys and girls.

Yo-Yo Boy

[Story]
You're a miner which digs for treasure, but suddenly you fall into a deep cave and fall unconsious. Later you regain consiounsnes beacuse someone wake you up, their names are Gi, Z and Mo. They are strange blue clothed creatures, who wears helmets with gears attached to them.
They inform you about their situation, and that the Core Gears, which is the earths gravity source and is unkown to mankind is beginning to stop and if something isn't done fast the earth will split into multiple pieces and lose it's gravitation.
[Gameplay]
It's a simple platformer where you can fight enemies or gather rare materials to create new weapons and items. You can also search for treasures hidden in the deep caves you've found.

Sounds cool.
The grass doesn't make sense, though. Since you wouldn't find a lot of that in caves and it wouldn't grow on walls and ceilings. I think someting like moss oder Mushrooms would be more fitting. Or crystals.
RE: [IDEA] [GAME] Gear Up! - Yo-Yo Boy - 12-11-2011
Updated the first post.
Do you have any tips on how to make a good moss tileset?
Also there was grass in cave story.
RE: [IDEA] [GAME] Gear Up! - Previous - 12-11-2011
Sorry, but I'm not a good Spriter myself and am oblivious on how to make anything. But if it helps, it shouldn't be as jaggy as that grass, it should be composed of rather round shapes. Kinda fluffy.
It wasn't on the walls or ceilings, however. Plus, that's an naturalistic fallacy
Your item icons are quite unreadable on that light-cone background.
RE: [IDEA] [GAME] Gear Up! - Yo-Yo Boy - 12-11-2011
I give up on the walls, but it did in fact have grass on the ceilings.

He said it doesn't make sense.
You can have it,
it just doesn't make sense.
As you know,
it doesn't
make
sense.
RE: [IDEA] [GAME] Gear Up! - Yo-Yo Boy - 12-11-2011

First post is updated with Mossy tileset, Locations and more info on the To-Do list.
Thanks to SHADEDBZ for the original mossy tile edit.
RE: [IDEA] [GAME] Gear Up! - sponge7325 - 12-12-2011
Alright, I have said this in every other thread that looks like I can have a chance to help with, so I say it here too.
If you want me, I have these talents:
Level Creating
Storyline Creating
Idea Creating
Also, I recently made some Mushroom sprites, not Mario mushrooms but just background mushrooms and the like.
I would be happy to help you with this game, I could even try my hand at more spriting attempts for this game, if needed.
EDIT: I've already started working on some more sprites for the game, because I'm bored.
RE: [IDEA] [GAME] Gear Up! - Yo-Yo Boy - 12-13-2011
Thats great! The storyline is pretty much done, but I could use some more ideas and level designs.
If you'll try to make a level remember to have lots if hidden caves and such.
Also, I might have some music up by tommorow.
RE: [IDEA] [GAME] Gear Up! - Yo-Yo Boy - 12-26-2011
Can't manage to record the music, oh well.
Updated the first posts graphics.
RE: [IDEA] [GAME] Gear Up! - Gors - 12-26-2011
I like this game idea, but just chiming in to say don't use already-made fonts for text. There's nothing wrong with it, but making your own will give your game a more personal touch.
not to say that you can play with the letters to make it fit with the game's aesthetics, too. Just my two cents tho

Pretty cool, I'm making a similar game with a bunch of guys on another forum. It's also set underground, but more of an RPG (magic, quest system, etc).
Just curious, what language is it gonna be programmed in, and for what platform(s)? Or haven't you decided yet?
The graphics look pretty awesome so far

It's gonna be programed in Java and it will be on PC, also thanks.

Cool idea. I'll be watching this thread to see where this goes.
