Good ideas for a gun instead of a whip!
That's pretty much my story there :D I'm only thirteen, i spent about two years on GM, and then went to the crappy "Games Factory 2 Newgrounds Edition", which was free and let me create flash games, but i couldn't use any programming language! It doesn't let you, it's only D&D. So i went back to GM and found an awesome team called Gamedan, we develop games as indie developers and allow anyone to come and create with us! Although we have a 4 tone palette that we use, you can see use of the palette on our current game we're working on called Dream Fighter (That's a link to my youtube channel, which has a walkthrough video).
It looks good though you are aware the name is already in use? I just downloaded Spelunker HD on PSN a couple days ago in fact and it's a remake of the NES version of the original Spelunker.
Well I went on and gave the player a gun instead of a whip, I got some fine ideas for that :)
Haha cool! Ehm, when I was 11 I started fooling around with it, then from age 13 to 15 old I had a break, and after that I started learning it a bit more serious, haha. How about you?
With a tall player, you're going to want it to be a little wider than the player, it's good for reach. Also you're going to want the enemies to be tall enough to be hit by the whip.
And i use GML as well! Heh... How long have you been using it?
I'm using pretty noobish software: Game Maker :P But I've worked with it quite a while so I can always work my way around things that weren't supposed to work without a ''real'' language haha!
Hm, how about the range of the whip? Just using it for melee?
Does to me. A whip is a fine idea.
What programming language do you use?
Glad you like it :) I hope so too, I'm currently starting out with the basic engine but I don't know if I can finish the game, haha ^^ I'm already stuck thinking about a weapon to use, a whip doesn't really sound like a good idea, or does it?
Oh yeah, i see the resemblence. I love the shine on the title screen, and i hope this someday becomes a game.
Not really, it's a completely different game, it might just be the name that makes it sound similiar haha.
In fact, I was inspired by the game ''Caverns of Hammerfest'', though it will look probably nothing like it :)
Hahah, so cute. X3 Very nicely shaded, also.
Only thing that bugs me is the total uneveness & awkward orientation of all the letters.
I agree with Smilecythe, it really does look like Spelunky, fan game, perhaps?
Anyway i really like this, great work!
Is it also forbidden to name it ''Spelunker -The Great Abyss-'' ?
