Introduction

         Hello! My name is rodas and I have recently joined. I have been working on a game for a few months to get started with everything. The name is sweet & awesome. I'm sure I will get more than one person mad for the title because it's too simple, unprofessional, and too general. That is one aspect that I am aiming for. This game was started by me with the help of 6 teenager friends on our senior high school year. The game revolves around real friends [us] living in a crazy adventure that we came up with during lunch. At the time it was just a joke but I told them I could do it. The game started it's trail and I started eventing my own system. It worked great, and I decided to post it on hbgames.org . The first comment there said that the rtp didn't fit what I was aiming for. This made me take the topic out of existence and start a long chase to making the game. Now I come back to this forum with a way better system [Blizz abs] thanks to blizz and winkio, and I decided on the graphics the game will keep. The game is now made with kiledove's pokemon graphics and edits made by me. I decide pokemon style was cartoonish enough yet serious enough to give you a task and expect you to accomplish it, while trying to be funny. This game is aiming towards a funny atmosphere if it doesn't satisfy make sure to tip me and help me  :haha: I wanted to make this topic because I need support that doesn't ask, "is it done yet?"

Story
     The story has basically been explained in the introduction. We are six teen agers living in a world we made up while eating fries and chicken. It involves a war against zombies and pigs, all delivered in a pokemon style. You guys will find out more about it as I make it.

     It was a day like any other in which Cesar sat alone in a house about to tell a story, you would wonder why a human would do such a thing but the purpose is recalled right before. Cesar, while on his travels, discovered he had a secret power. This amazing power, or so he says, will blow your mind. He tells the story while recalling it as happening a few days ago..

     The story is then interrupted by the police! It seems something has happened to the people of the town that's making them act completely weird. The people are going crazy and act as if they were zombies. They go around the land destroying everything on their path. You are blamed for this because you and your friends are the only ones who have stayed normal, besides the police who arrested you. You manage to get out of there with help of goober who wasn't arrested because he was unconscious
and the police thought he was in the "zombie state."

     It is your job to travel and defeat enemies to find the truth behind the "zombie state," and figure out what's happening and how to stop it... Will you find out Cesar's big secret? Will you save the world from the chaos? Why wasn't your group affected? Why are the police cops not affected?! It is time to stand up and defend the people of this world by killing them with swords, boomerangs, and guns!  :haha: hahaha I actually lol'd while writing this.. 


Characters


Features
       I guess this is where you guys can help. i have a few things in mind. such as a skit system but that is to be implemented when everything else is done.


Downloads
             As you guys probably though this game was dead or just plain not interested.. I have had the time off to put whatever this is together.. If you wish to play it.. here is the link

http://www.mediafire.com/?dp2yd1z9u6sp4t0

So.. yeah whatever.. >.> This is probably the end of this... it takes way to much time.. I hope you guys enjoy this if you decide to play... Share your opinions on anything you wish.. Maybe I will get into it yet again on my next school break.... Also; please check out the forum :D 

http://sweetandawesomegame.webs.com/

I would really rather you post your opinions there as the game needs some attention.. but that's probably asking too much.. so yeah w/e... have a good one!

EDIT- pictures aren't working.......  :<_<:

UPDATE!!!  :)

pictures have been re linked.. turns out I was making a mistake..  :haha:

Well hopefully thats enough to get a post or two..

Please don't double post withing 24 hours :D. It has been almost 24 hours, but still...

OT: I like that you have to fight pigs, but I dislike the zombie part... I've never seen a non-pokemon game that uses pokemon graphics, so it's original. I might try the demo later.

Alright!  :) Thanks for the post!

    Well.. The idea was being in a war against pigs and stuff, but as I started the game I needed enemies to put in.. and pig after pig would make the game boring and predictable. That's why I'm adding all kinds of enemies into the mix.
    Haha  :haha: I thought it was original too [mostly weird].. I will try to make the game really good once I get all of the main graphics done. The demo is an example I tried sharing with some friends a while back so if you don't find it funny than please be sure to tell me [if you do play].. I'm asking because that is the start of the game as well and also because the game focuses on real people, the real people find it hilarious because it's them in a game. That is what made me make this topic and i hope you post again!  :)

Interesting concept, though I think the story needs a little more fleshing out or it might become boring quickly for anyone playing it, with the exception of your friends.

  I agree with that 100%  The game is still in a very early stage while I do the main graphics. I had a story in mind but it went away as I made the demo. I will make sure to flesh out a new one or something a long the lines of what I have. I need a reason for the player to want to keep going if that's what you are saying.. I will definitely get on that when I start development and game mechanics.

  Thanks for the post!  :)

Quit your backseat moderating and use the damn report button.

Is... there... a... report... BUTTON?! I didn't know that...  LOL. Maybe I saw it once, but didn't really think about it...

Lol, I saw it when Branden said it :D. But what's that Logged button for?

What logged button?

Next to report.

*clicks it*


Like I said, SBR, Think before you do anything, so that you have only minor disadvantages....  

anyway, rodas, good job.

Lol, I didn't want to click it, since I thought it was something... important...

wow.. I was wondering how there were so many posts  :haha:

UPDATE: characters will be animated.. I have been working character sprites for defense and such and so far it looks like it will work!  :) soo.. yeah...

and thanks silentknight...  wouldn't silent knight kinda make you a ninja? haha.. sorry.. nevermind...
don't wanna go off topic on my topic.

Just to try and start a conversation while I figure out things for the game..

What kind of features do you guys think should be in a game like this? or any other game for that matter..

   features I'm not sure are features:
       *well I'm making the main characters animated to point.
       *I'm working on small conversations that might take place randomly during gameplay.. (an example
would be the "tales of" skit system..)
       
Well.. I'm mostly looking for feedback but the demo there is probably not a good place to start as the game
is meant to be funnier and more entertaining... the demo was just a test at how this game would sorta work.

The story needs to be expanded so I might be changing that soon as I come up with content and more chnages.

So they randomly start a conversation? Even while fighting? Wouldn't that be annoying?

EDIT: Why is the game's title unprofessional? I think it isn't :urgh:.

   I don't know.. I have seen people get mad over names that are too general.. and I thought sweet and awesome was really general.. I thought the would be at least one person coming on saying, "what makes your game any more sweeter or awesome-er that other peoples games" xD hahaha.. glad no one did though.....

   You raise a very good point!  :) It seems you are thinking things through better than I am... not a very good thing to say when you are trying to introduce a game to people.. xD  :D well thanks for the advice..
I think I will make them either after a story event or just somehow make sure the player isn't in a battle..

Well, I would find it annoying when you're traveling too... I mean: "Oh, cool! A new quest! Let's move there and - wut? Why is he talking about bananas?"

Oh, and you're welcome!

Yeah I understand what you mean.. but see.. it's gonna be optional..

there is gonna be a small message at one of the corners that says "press something to activate skit" or better a little picture of the button and the name of the skit to the side.. something like that.. that way.. if you don't wanna read the conversations, you don't have to... They are also very short so you don't have to worry about length but I understand what you mean  :D  hopefully that's good enough to cover that.. I have already started the skits and don't really want to trash them..  :haha:

That's a really good idea :D!

Thanks  :) though that's exactly how "tales of" skits work... so it really wasn't my idea at all..  :D

ughh.. man I have gotten lazy. I'm still working on the game. this scene is going really slow, even though it's short and at the beginning.. Well, for now I will be working on making that event and afterwards i might go into making more gameplay.. I'm very slow at making a short amount of game, what can I say.. I'm not proud of myself xD hahaha

also a question.. should I take the demo down? see the demo is just how the game would work.. I don't wanna scare people off because they didn't like the demo.. I would like more advice.. but it's okay.

Tell people that it's just a gameplay-demo in the demo (or did you already do that? Lol, I almost never play demo's).

It's cool.. it's probably not even a gameplay demo though.. there is nothing exiting in there.. haha.. so maybe I will take it off eventually.. I need to refine the way the game is "funny" and make that story sharper like I said I was gonna do.. ha ha..

If I keep working on it, I'm sure it will get more attention xD I have hopes and dreams  :haha:
but i'm still cool  8) even though that sounded corny no matter how someone says it..


EDIT: STORY UPDATE!!!

So I left quite a while ago. At first I just didn't feel like working on the game so I took a break from it and things related to it. Since I stopped the game, a lot of things have changed for me. College, car, work; things that change for everyone at this stage... This wasn't the only setback; my windows vista desktop was looking for a beating after instant crashes and freezes. I now own a brand new windows 7 computer which is working absolutely awesomely. haha  :naughty: It is with this that I announce the re start of this game from some of the dead files I managed to upload.  :) I'm hoping the game will have a straight start this time and that I will make something out of it. At the moment, I'm still very busy getting used to having no desk for the computer (old one broke), homework, work and things of that nature. Once I get as many files as I can the game will be remade from scraps of the old one.. with remakes you always get better quality. So I'm hoping for that this time as well. The demo will be cut short as it is not the representation I'm  trying to achieve from this game. I will see you guys as soon as I can with more hellos and news.  :haha:

Man! I'm loving all the attention!  :naughty:

XD hahaha anyways... the game has been updated... check it out if you wish! I also added the website to the topic..

and here is a youtube video I just put up seconds ago...

(sorry about the periods.. I'm already used to it and there is nothing i can do about it; unless it affects my school grades.. haha)
