The Next Great Game?
« on: December 04, 2008, 11:13:53 PM »
No, not at all, but it's the game I've been working on for the past few months and will continue to work on through the spring for my senior project.  It's a game called Dismantle.Repair and is a multiplayer game where two teams download items in the game world that are converted into building blocks.  They then use the blocks to build up towers/bases to reach a certain height and win the game.  We're still in pre-production for it, and god only knows how it's going to turn out.  I was initially really turned off to the idea (we voted on it at the end of last semester between this, a design one of my friends made, and my co-op game design), but I think it could turn out pretty fun.  It's a pretty great learning experience, at least, and (hopefully) we'll have some sort of finished project by May.  I've been working on my own level for the past 8 hours or so.  I unfortunately spent way too much time making use of what few textures and shitty map editor software we have to make a couple buildings that really don't look very good, but are still better than what they probably should have looked like.









We'll probably be doing playtesting and stuff in the spring, so if any of you guys would be interested in maybe helping out someitme in the future, I might be able to send some stuff along.  At the very least, I'm sure you'll provide some overly brutal, yet very constructive criticism on the game.

Do they let you bring sacks of fries into that bar?  Sounds cool, Weebs.  Keep us posted.

You'll NEVER guess what city those buildings in the background are supposed to be.  Just try.  You'll never get it.

The main problem is we're probably only going to have multiplayer working through LAN, mostly due to time constraints.  Once we get further along though, I might be able to pass out a build of the game, although I'm pretty sure I couldn't risk the game getting out onto the internet (not that I don't trust you guys), but we'll see.  I'll definitely keep you guys updated.

But you'll still get thrown out of your own game by a virtual CUNT.

How do you stop opponents from stealing your flag without guns?

Well in our game, we're going to have a little attack called the "Hammer Fist."  There was some controversy over that name, but I was adamant about being able to hit a guy and then scream, "You just got fisted!"

You should have called it the Finger Blast.
