Pretentia
:::::::::::::::
;::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
:::::::::::|::::::AN UPDATE::::::
FOR YOU:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Progress is like half done, all that's left is . . . making the actual levels >

I've retrofitted a mission-based system onto it, so it'll be all cool, and crap

The growth from levelups is now explosive, which was my intention! Don't worry, though, it's balanced.


Just an action screenshot in case you missed that it's totally an action RPG. But there are only projectiles, swords really bland up ARPG games.


This is Kom's weapon! Boooom


Demonstrating the new Magic System, where there are 3 spells from each of 3 classes: Reparation, Corruption, Manipulation.... and there are some forbidden ones, too.

[Kom]

Yeah I enjoy working on the engines of this game. I am Kom and I approve this message.

[CJA]

I GOT A JOB

NO MORE CREATIVITY EVER

[Kom]

):

[asgromo]

If people thought CJA and Guy were bad with no responsibilities, wait until they're getting home from minimum-wage labor and making friends with 20-year-olds who talk loudly about how they just saw Pulp Fiction and "it was a fucking great movie but fucking weird as hell"

[CJA]

turn-based strategy game

[CJA]

I made menus, and the ability to see opponents' hit and move ranges while it's your turn (by using the mouse or Tab):

[Goshi]

Is this going to be like, Advance Wars MZX version or something?

[Kom]

C-C-CJAAAAAA I was not informed that you were working on this game, I REALLY need to help with this... Like AI and such.

[CJA]

I have been using Amiga SoundTracker samples lately (THANKS MAXIM!) and have made a song and a song. Yeah, that's right, I'm using retro MOD samples.

Also I got inspired today to write a stupid poem about snow so here it is

Quote

Snowflakes falling without numbers.
They cascade as they please,
without formation. Loose, dirty, FREE.

Some fall straight down.
One bounds up and up as if pushed by a force like hope.
REFUSING to drop like the others, it stands out.

You're a lot like we are, snowstorm.
You're a lot like Cambridge, in which you fall.
We're each UNIQUE, but sometimes that is overlooked.
If you were to descend one by one,
working alone, your efforts would be in vain.

Likewise for us, yo.
Despite that EVERYONE is unique,
we can't see it in our daily struggle.
But when you fall TOGETHER and pile on the hills,
the grass,
the rooftops,
and when we work TOGETHER to provide care,
remain true,
and support each other,
we can both change the WORLD.

NEW PROJECT

I am going to round up a few MZXers and we are going to make a game. A Game. We're going to make a game. What kind of game? You'll have to ask those certain MZXers. You might be one, though.

And I made a 1-minute interesting piece of song.

¡Que Barbaridad!
"Yeah another game I guess"
. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ .

Danger Tier is the formation of an unlikely group of heroes that needed a name and couldn't come up with one. Among their ranks. . .

• Pike Picante - Pike Picante loves spears and whatnot. He collects them. One day, when driving to customs to pick one up off eBay, he finds that his new spear begins to talk to him! Armed with a pike with a snappy personality, Pike Picante believes he is a chosen warrior and seeks to cause justice or something, fuck
  
• Gladys Ballad, an obligatory gothic chick. When she isn't preparing tofu dishes or buying indie clothes, she is making candles fly across the room with mental powers. She has had 3 boyfriends, although she never broke up with them. Instead she broke them. Her mystery is shrouded in past, but joining the Danger Tier might cause her to have a conflict of interest between blending in and staying an outcast.
  
• El Fiesta is a masked wrestler. Donned in pink, he has one goal: Destroy EVERYONE. His quest will be complete when he kills 6.774 billion people. Even though he poses a direct danger to Danger Tier (since it's made of people), he has vowed on hos honor not to attack them until he reaches the 6,773,999,999,997 kill count mark.
  
• Lawrence M-Will is a lovable, bumbling knight. All his life he has sworn to serve the queen in all her glory. But suddenly he discovers he has magic powers, and should have been a mage all along! Now he faces inner conflict as his interest overlaps with his destiny.
  
• Iris Clara Stakes is a famous war hero with everything to lose and everything to gain. Originally a pilot in the Vietguam War, her plane crashes and she is forced to swarm the enemy's camp guerilla style. Her heartwrenching stories are included in the Que Barbaridad! experience.
  
• Kills With Fire is a revenge-seeking Native American chieftain. He likes fire, and he likes to kill people, so he has designed a 'spirit flamethrower.' He lives up to his name quite well.

These are to be the members of the Danger Tier. Their wild, wacky antics will unfoold in ¡Que Barbaridad!, the MegaZeux game with no preconceptions, no dull moments, and no chance of survival for those that dare play it.

you have to finish this game.

[Revvy]

I'm with Tixus here. It's dangerous to tell us about game ideas that are this good.

[Lachesis]

Sounds good, but shouldn't that be "6,773,999,996" kills in El Fiesta's description

Yes, actually, thanks for pointing this out.

I do not know where this massive character development burst came from. One day I was like "hmm, I should make a bunch of game ideas." Every game idea was just a character. It looks like, when I'm building a game, I start with the player character and antagonist first. I decided to just put them all in the same game.

[Lachesis]

When I'm thinking up a game, I mostly think "what would be eight characters that I could write about and how would I intertwine their stories so that they could angst together in the most interesting way," and antagonists end up second for some reason... and the game never ends up getting made, anyhow.

Will the game mostly follow Danger Tier as a whole and let you pick which character you want to play as before a level, is it an RPG that mainly follows one of the characters, or will it force you to alternate which character you're playing as at certain points in the game? Or have you decided any of this yet? >x3

[CJA]

Mostly it will be like... you'll start as Pike Picante (sort of goofy) and have a couple stupid tutorial levels, then you'll get Gladys (really serious), then they will team up and there will be a bunch of silly drama because one is goofy and one is serious. Then you'll follow El Fiesta, and then Lawrence joins (who I'll probably make female for a decent gender balance, lolz). That will mostly involve drama regarding L being like "christ so should I be hitting things or using magic on things?" and El Fiesta who will say things like "Before there's any blood on the ground, I'm not going to think about anything." so there will be a good contrast there. Finally, Iris (somewhat overly emotional) uses firearms primarily and she is swarming some enemy camp, when she finds Kills With Fire (revenge-bent and with a deathwish), for the final Character Contrast. The final pair will join up with the first pair, then the second pair will join, just in time for some final conflict.

Basically you'll be switching between them with S. Unless I decide to actually make this a spiritual sequel to Ay Caramba.
