This game: It's what I'm working on again finally since Lacuno sux and is dead and my mzxer's block is finally gone

I made a scene where Guy's eyes explode. Also, I canned the whole inventory system because I realized I'm never going to use it!

I've been developing the plot a lot and I must say, I've outdone myself. emF's story will span 4 games, making it a quadrilogy or a tetralogy or something or whatever. I don't want to say much because I want to keep the plot secret, but emF 4 will tie together the plots of the first 3 games.

Yes, all 3 of them.

Don't worry, though; just because I'm planning a sequel won't stop me from putting my soul into this game! I love it too much.

Also, I redid the title screen and POOP ROAD >:( intro so that they're no longer silly charset things-- they're made of quarter-chars now (I am the quarter-char freak). I also changed the subtitle to "Holy Jesus CHRIST WHAT IS THAT."

Oh yeah, and I might have a demo sometime.

That's good to hear. Always be prepared to trim the fat; you end up with a leaner game. Meat. Meat. Meat! Mmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeattt

Thats pretty much what I'm doing with Drop 4 basically.

I'm still working on it, seriously! After like boredom with mzx for a month and then a month without a computer, I FINALLY feel like working on this again, and I love it to pieces.

[Galladin]

EMFG! Amaznign! =)

[Val]

Update: I'm working on it!

[asiekierka]

i HOPE you'll do the demo on New Year's Eve.

[Val]

I redid the title yet again! Gaze upon it in all its quarter-char glory. It's also animated.

[Chaos Theorist]

I like animation, and are you still working on this?

[Val]

Well, with the death of Sesamo, I can't use the engines from that for emF 3, which means I'm probably going to do something else with it entirely (growing tired of sidescrollers anyway). I'm probably going to make it top-down again, but this time it's going to be more than just mzx bullets or laggy swords. You can expect to see such things as flamethrowers, boomerangs, and mouse-aimed 360-dir lasers (maybe). Also, I'm probably not going to have party members, or at least not ones that are actively controlled and follow you around.

Also, I haven't worked on emF 3 in like 2 months now! :pppppppppppppppppppppppp. I'm probably going to start again soon though.

I'll not be working on emF anymore. It's a source of impurity. It started with a disgusting fad and lead to the downfall of POOP ROAD >:(, and I'll not have it on my hands.

Ee-oh-ee-oh-eeeeaaaaargh.

(In all seriousness I'm already contemplating a game that I've been wanting to do for a while that should be far better than anything emF could live up to).

[CHEZZY]

It happens. Hope your new production will be just as good as emf3 was going to be.

[asiekierka]

GIVE IT OUT THEN!

[Val]

Asiekierka emF 3 has just maybe enough content right now to fill 2 minutes of your time. It's really not worth it.

[Val]

Actually, you know what

I lied.

[ShloobeR]

about what

[Val]

Shloober if you pay attention to the dates and the few previous posts you'd be able to infer "about what."

EDIT: For clarification, I am working on emF 3 again. I seem to have gotten my mzxing spirit back.

Also, I've been getting loads of new ideas lately. I've pretty much got the game mapped out at this point. #mzx will include two new islands, and DMZX will be comprised of 3 large continents (Tilde, Pilcrow and Asterisk). It will have a total of 10 action stages.

I'd like to see this finished! It sounds good with all the engines and stuff...

[Val]

Also, note that you won't be visiting more than half of the islands of #mzx, since the game's primary focus is now DMZX.

[CHEZZY]

I expect you'll be visiting barkness, what with this being a POOP ROAD game after all. Plus, it will be easy to make seeing how everybody was messing round with that map.

For quite some time, there was a message in the topic of #POOPROAD>:( saying that all members shall abstain from posting in Barkness.

Afterwards, I had a "BARKNESS LIFE-O-METER" so we could measure how dead Barkness was. It was horribly calculated, though. T_T

Just so you know! <:p

[Val]

Are you kidding me, CHEAZZY? There's no way I'm ever featuring something as stereotypical and overdone as BARKNESS in my games. Besides which, I've already mapped out the entire game and there's no room for BARKNESS anywhere.

Anyway, I've been working on emF 3 a lot recently and I will probably have enough done to release the usual demo sometime today or tomorrow.

The world map has a completely new style now. Also, I'm nearly finished the first real action stage. I'll post screenshots later.

[Val]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

EDIT: It's hard to see things in the second screenshot because it's not fullscreen with a black background around it. Man h8 eyes

OK now there's this really cool wormhole scene that uses the distance formula a lot (credit to CJA) and also some formula I came up with that changes the colors smoothly. It rox.

[asiekierka]

shit.
I. FEEL. THE. URGE. TO. STOLE. THE. IDEA.

And a quote:
"hate!"

[Val]

It should be noted that this image does the actual stage no justice. You'll understand once you see it in action.

[Razerboy]

I am loving the health & status overlay up the top, as well as the level design. Keep up the good work ;O

[Seventh Shade]

I downloaded the demo for this a while back but completely forgot to play it. It looks like it'll be a lot better than the other EMF games. The pistol rules.

So, how much of this do you have done?
