« Thread Started on Jun 17, 2005, 2:52pm »

This is a strange game that Im working on for a competition.
heres some pics and an early demo.

[image]

For the demo you need this version of direct x 9.0c.

Heres the demo. Many bugs have since been fixed and Ill update the demo soon.

http://www.sendmefile.com/00006214

Instructions

LEt me know about the performance an bugs.
Known issues
1. The blood portion goes a bit strange and replays(Im working on it)
2. The camera goes through the floor and top. (I know Havent worked on that yet)
3). The memory game is a buggy at times.
Resolved just not updated in this demo

Its still early and needs loads of work. I pretty interested in performance and your comp specs. Right now Im running it at 640x480
If it performs good enough Ill make it 800x600.
Controls

Left mouse click to select button.
(when not in game)

Space bar to put out food. Becareful
Hold left mouse to drag fish.

Click left mouse on fish to orient it to you.
Keep clicking on fish to make him come to you.

Rules: Complete memory game to charm a fish.
Bigger fish eat smaller fish unless charmed.
Charmed fish eat killer fish.(buggy)
Charmed fish turn regualr fish into charmed fish
If 2 charmed fish hit they reproduce a charmed fish.
The last one will be revamped to produce a super fish.
The same will happen with killers(produce Super killers)

Blue=regular fish
Red=killer
Yellow with star=charmed

New game to be added.
Launching killers
Im still thinking on this but it will involve launching the killer fish 3d(using some type of puzzel element) The game is just unbalanced and thats what Im working on for now.

Levels being added(starting with less fish)
Tutorial ingame.
Several mini games
Mouse and memory bugs fixed.
Sprites and graphics being updated

Enjoy Rage

Just to add, the update will be much much improved. This is just a general(Skeleton) of how the game will function. The main task was to make 100 objects move in 3d space, update, and interact. Now that I have that working I can start polishing and cleaning up the game and adding new elements for balance.
Ive got some pretty twisted minigames in mind for this one.

Won't let me download, but this looks pretty neat! Can you host it on your own webpage so I can download it?

Very weird, I just tried it now, and it worked perfectly. Must just have been a big traffic time on that server. Anyway I will try it out as soon as I can and see how it is.

Heres some new screens.
Additions.
Smoother gameplay (bugs fixed)
New sprites
More/better textures
Bonus bar added

The bonus bar moves as you are repeating the sequence if you hit your buttons when its in the middle you get a score bonus. This is quite distracting and challenging to try to remember the sequence and get the bonus.
THE PICS!

That demo you have is pretty out dated. I have a much better smoother bug fixed version in a few days.

Well as far as the blood animation system Im going to trade it for a comic book style Bite jagged balloon at the site of the attack. I would fix the blood system as is but it chews resources and is a bit of over kill for this particular game. BTW I did try the particle route but I really wasent happy with the results. Since Im limited on time Im going to do the balloon thing. 2 days 3 max for a new demo.

Cool, alright, sorry the particles didn't work. The Bite balloon sounds good, that will be funny.

Theres an update on the main Bad Temper games page http://badtempergames.tripod.com with a link to the final version of Fish Charming. That includes updated graphics etc... It take quite a while to load. I didnt win the comp but I had fun making it.
