Bullet-Head Project - Gors - 11-10-2009
*Thanks to Rökkan for the topic's name*
I'm doing a bunch of sprites for fun, and decided to show them here
Basically, the game I had in mind is about using magnetism to complete certain tasks (levitate, walk on the ceiling, magnetize stuff). The player has a cannon shell head and can launch it do destroy stuff/defeat enemies, and since he's made of steel, he can sink in water and adhere into magnets, etc... also don't ask me about the game's plot, even I don't know :o If you can give me ideas, feel free to help.

I'll be posting more sprites soon. Give C+C

OH

Okay.
Actually, I drew some concept art for this 'game'. In addition of having all the abilities mentioned in the first post...

...he can change his head to execute different moves. A hammer, for example. It can be used to press hard switches on the ground. Also he can ride a 'squarecicle', avoiding those triangular spikes.
*also sorry for the image, it's all blurry. I saved it in gif

Very original game concept
I hope to see more of this
RE: Game that will never be finished - Vipershark - 11-10-2009
This actually looks really fun.
The only criticism I can honestly give is that the squarecycle would be difficult to ride, and the only way to smoothly ride something with square wheels is if there are "half-circles" in the ground, not spikes.
Yes, that's the only thing I can see wrong with it.
Therefore, great job,
RE: Game that will never be finished - Gors - 11-10-2009
...oh, you're right. Damn, I liked that idea a lot
I might do something to fix that, thanks for pointing that out Also, that item won't be available everywhere, and I don't see why it'd be difficult to ride, since it's a square inside a hole; it would keep the balance even if you were stopped... Well, just consider it as 'Kuribo's Shoe' walking on top of those carnivore plants: something that you can use to walk over dangerous stuff.

Very neat!
As for the sprites, they're very nice, but the style looks a bit... overused?
RE: Game that will never be finished - Chris2Balls [:B] - 11-11-2009
I love that square wheel and the concepts, but much as i do like the style I'm agreeing with Sploder.

Technically, triangles would work, though it'd be bumpy and odd.
BUT IT'S A GAME, WHO CARES
carry on

So, Rokkan helped me with the sprite style. He did the #4 and edited the #3. I used his #4 as a ref to make the #5, and I think I'm going to use it. The #4 is way too detailed for me to animate
RE: Bullet-Head Project - Phantom Killah - 11-14-2009
Looks great
RE: Bullet-Head Project - soulcaliburfan - 11-14-2009
I am really liking 5.
RE: Bullet-Head Project - Kitsu - 11-14-2009
Holy cow! Both 4 and 5 look awesome!
5 would go better with 16x16 blocks than 4 would.
Good luck with your project!
RE: Bullet-Head Project - Neslug - 11-14-2009
I really, really like 4 and 5. The concept also feels similar to Dynamite Headdy, not that that was a bad thing as it's not exactly overused or well-known.
RE: Bullet-Head Project - Dave - 11-14-2009
I see the way this will go, I like it.
How about some enemies? I'll love to see what you come up with.
