I made a thread in game development about this game a few weeks ago.

See, the way GameSprout works, there is an incentive to work up to a point where a more professional team would pick up your game and work with you on it.
Due to the nature of the site, it doesn't get all too much traffic because many people would sign up thinking people would be there at their beck and call to fulfill their "ideas". Due to that, I don't expect anything out of this, except for your opinions.

Its really a shot in the dark but if anyone were to want to help beyond that, they would have to create an account and contact the idea's owner, Rpunako, though that wouldn't be so difficult as both he and I frequent the activity feed for the game.

Everything is still alpha and the like, but you can't really know what people would want without asking can you?

This is the link to our most recent demo. It was released 3 days ago as of now, on December 30th, 2013.

I am only requesting feedback, but if you are interested in helping the project beyond that, it would be greatly appreciated.

As part of a walkthrough/guide website I've been building for the Zelda: aLttP ROM hack Parallel Worlds, I've been ripping all of the maps. It's pretty slow going, especially for the overworld, due to an interesting quirk of the overworld rendering where it doesn't display the top and bottom line of each area unless you're scrolling between areas, so areas that use a "warping" transition never display those lines... so there's a TON of manual tile copying involved, since I haven't found a better method. Anyway, I figured there might be people around here interested in these, so here's what I have finished so far...

Hi all

Not entirely sure if a thread like this is allowed according to the rules, sorry if it is not. I posted a similar thread on other forums and was advised to do the same here.

for over a year now I've been wanting to start a game project for a 16bit system. An action-platformer in the same design category as Ghouls 'N Ghosts and classic 2D Castlevania.

I've created a prototype for the X68000, a Japanese exclusive 16bit platform, and I find I really like doing development on older hardware. I have done game development and design professionally before. I am also comfortable working on very limited older hardware, so I know I have what it takes.

Problem is I cannot do it all alone. I need some talented and dedicated partners. Not to sell the old skin before the bear is shot, but I am sick and tired of being in the industry working on projects that I do not give a shit about. I feel with the rise of popularity of retro gaming, as well as a few pioneers having already released new 16bit games as physical products there certainly is a market out there.

Let us not kid ourselves though, that market is small, but it certainly is large enough to support a small team of talented individuals willing to pursue their dream and make the kinds of games that they themselves love to play.

There is a company who specializes in cart production for older hardware and if we can get a finished product to them they will promote and manufacture physical copies for free and share with us a certain percentage of sales. Basically they will play the role of publisher.

Anywaste, that is the pipe dream, or the goal I should say. But before all that, to get a 16bit game off the ground and brought to completion a minimum of three persons are needed. A programmer, a pixelartist and lastly a chiptune composer/sound engineer.

I am the programmer and I need to find the two other partners to make this thing a reality. As per the prototype for X68000 certain design elements of the game are already clear, but action-platformers from that era live and die by their level design and enemy AI. Stuff like that are formed and tweaked at a late stage of development which all members get a chance to leave their mark upon.

bear in mind working on a 16 bit project demands a unique set of technical prowess from each member. Knowledge of tiling and palette mamagment is a must for the artist. Furthermore, composing music for a 16bit system is whole hell of a lot more technically demanding than doing so using modern software. I expect each member can master their own subject matter so I can focus on the game mechanics.

Just to clarify, I am looking for partners here, not freelancers. The end goal is to turn this group of professionals into a small studio that can support itself by continuing to develop more games for older hardware. But to start off I want to partner up with interested parties and work on this in our spare time to the point where we have a playable demo ready to go. Then we could perhaps use Kickstarter or Indiegogo to finance us all going full time on the project.

Unfortunately the X68000 is not a popular system in the west, so making games for it is not commercially viable. Thus I have decided to scrap all my previous work and start from scratch on the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive this time around. The architecture of said hardware is different enough that none of the code for the X68000 can be used. It was not all a loss though as I have gained valuable experience with game development on vintage hardware.

Some details about project:

16 bit action/platformer with similar design philosophy as Ghouls 'N Ghosts and classic Castlevania. What that means is simple gameplay married with punishing difficulty that requires repeated play and memorization to proceed. Each level will be short in length (5-10 minutes) if cleared perfectly, with one, maybe two checkpoints throughout. A boss battle completes a level. Player will restart at last reached level checkpoint as long as they have any lives left. If gamed over the player will start at the beginning of current level, but there are infinite continues. There are hidden one-up items and other goodies throughout each level.

Gameplay consists of controlling a guy who throws some sort of long projectile weapon for offence (most likely an energy lance) and brandishes a shield for defence (some sort of forcefield). Thrown projectiles can stick to certain surfaces, as well as enemies, and can then be used as jump pads. This is a very important mechanic that needs to be mastered.

The shield will be brandished in the frontal direction upon pressing a button, or perhaps the downward direction. Enemy projectiles will deflect off of the shield which is another impotant gameplay mechanic. The shield will only be active for a few frames upon deployment and will go away after that. After a short cooloff time the shield can be deployed again.

In the style of the aforementioned action-platformers the character actions are kept simple and minimal. Thus all the difficulty of the game will come from level design, enemy placement and AI. In short, the design document of a game like Castlevania might not look very interesting, only once you play it you will understand what makes it special.

As for the graphics, I have some suggestions for the visual aspects of the hero, the final boss and some of his underlings. Everything other than that is up in the air.

If you want to be a partner let me know. Also, if you know of a better place I can go to find such a person for the project then please do share.

Hi everybody. I don't normally make too many threads and prefer to keep to myself, but I noticed that to make requests you have to be an active member here, so I'm going to do my best not to just spam twenty posts out.

I didn't notice that there was a request forum until after I made my first post, which was a request post, which I have since deleted.

I do some spriting, but I'm by no means decent at anything except FF6 style sprites.

Anyway... Hello.

After some really hard work, we are proud to present you the first demo of the project Avengers United Battle Force.




INFO

---

Avengers United Battle Force was made using OpenBOR engine. Everything started as Doom's pratice project, so he could learn how to work with this new engine. After some time, he had invited O Ilusionista to join him and...everything got bigger and now its a full project.

The idea is, somehow, to pay a homage to the original Arcade game called Captain America and the Avengers, which every of us loved when was a kid, but with a new interpretation. All kudos to Data East and Marvel for the original game!

(But guys, seriously, that game has a LOT of size errors... Juggernaut has almost the same size of Iron Man? No way. And why the hell he would use a bazooka? The guy IS a bazooka himself, lol)


GAMEPLAY

---

While we use some gameplay from the original game, we added many things:

- At least, 2 special moves per char. Some chars have more moves.
- Each char is unique in some way: They have different values for life, attack, defense, power, speed and range.
- Some chars have passive skills (like regeneration), some have unique skills (like fyling mode).
- Breakout move (for dangerous times), rise attacks
- Unique AVENGER POWER per char, like a Desesperation Move. Consumes all the power bar but does a lot of damage.
VIDEO PREVIEW

(fixed) Vision, Hawkeye, Beast, Hulk, War Machine and Iron Man - Avengers United Battle Force

PC download here: http://brazilmugenteam.com/avengers
Works in Android if you have the app version of OpenBOR, just copy the "avengers.pak" from the PAKS folder


This is a technical demo, so bugs can occur. Please, inform any bug you find!

I've been using TSR forever, I just recently decided to look around and see the models and textures and stuff, and the Register button

So, yeah the usual stuff. I have a lot of questions, like, what can I use those models for? and how do I submit my own sprites? and what are the advantages of signing up? Do i get special sprites or just other privileges?

If you can answer any of these, you get a free virtual cookie!

So I'm trying to rip/modify some sprites from Nintendo Puzzle Collection and I'm having some issues figuring out the graphics.

Some of them work out fine.


Other do this thing.
It's the right palette, and you can sort of seesome right colors, but it's really messed up.

Is there any kind of compression it could probably have or something? I took a look at it in hex, but it has no header at all so I don't even know how to figure it out.

Here the file I'm looking at.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/qkncl6
The graphic is at 0xAFC8
The palette for it is at 0x4C0

Any help would be appreciated.

Key to this plan is company's little black book, codenamed "Scylla Jr.", which contains information on all the Company's agents and operations. Unfortunately first try failed due wicked witch, Scylla, who is surprisely protecting company's treasure. Due this failure Self decided to hire some very special guy to help these fugitives. That's Hugo, Agent Hugo, the...troll?? You heard it right! In fact Hugo has faced Scylla many times before. You play as Hugo, as he helps fugitives in their operation by finding hes way out from mazes, opening doors to fugitives, escaping guards and of course, entertaining anyone who could stand his humor. Soon enough Hugo also finds out, what this "black spell book" suppose to be anyway.

TRAILER (I hope it's not too blutant)




HELP WANTED!
All I need to finish this game are as follows:
- Possibly easy way to rip sprites and textures from PC/MS-DOS and PS1 games succesfully
- To make better trailer I need screen video capture software similar to Fraps, but can recognize MMF2dev-games (or in other hand, OpenGL windows)
- I also need voice actors but I'm afraid this isn't the right place to ask for them.

LET ME KNOW IF...
- You know the possibly easy way to rip sprites and textures from PC/MS-DOS and PS1 games succesfully
- You know any good and reliable screen video capture softwares I'm looking for
- You know the fandubber/voice actor you could suggest (I could contact him/her myself)
