Ultra Player Collaboration! Crystal Caverns

amateurradiogeek15

Hello everyone! :D

This collaboration was originally started for the purpose of creating a multiplayer game. That game has since turned into a platformer :D, we also made an awesome OS with working safe chat!

No secrets will be let out about our newest project :D!

I hope people decide that this would be a fun adventure together, and that every one enjoys.

NOTE: Credit to @Tropic for the redesign of the first post.

NOTE!!! New scratchers are welcome to support the collab, but because we are messing with cloud variables, you're going to have to wait until you become scratcher to get these privileges. You can still test out the project and give feedback on all the non-cloud parts

Also you'll probably need to know that I have a second account @violinman15 which will be on the same level as this account, however, I rarely use it anymore. So now I use @PureMichigan much more.

Please post regularly to the collab. :) This will help me and others know what's going on.

Our Current To-Do List!

What do we have at the moment?
stone, dirt, engine.

What do we need to make a game?
engine
levels
homescreen

what do we need to make more levels?
more tiles = more parts to the engine.
wet stone
stalagmites
stalagtites
lava
bouncy mushrooms
enemies
do we have water physics?

what do we need to make a homescreen?
buttons
an idea what the game looks like (otherwise making a homescreen is impossible, so this should be the last thing we do)
instructions (to make these all special interaction tiles would need to be finished)

Oh, what is your plans for the Cloud Multiplayer game? I mean, is it going to be a 2.5D RPG, 2D RPG, Sidescroller, Racing-game, etc.?

I'm inexperienced with Cloud Multiplayer, heads up…

And, I think I could help you with some ideas, but just not the Cloud Programming.

7500+ posts (19th)

amateurradiogeek15

Ok. I know you aren't experienced.

We talked about that before.

I was at first thinking about a sidescroller, but I'm not at all sure that that's not too much to start with… What do you think?

Oops, sorry about late reply, I had to follow the studio to see your response!

But, a sidescroller would be neat!

Yeah, I am a little inexperienced with cloud, but I'd be looking to be an Ideas person, I mean there are better scriptwriters out there.

Well, what is my to-do list?

amateurradiogeek15

Well, Can you make a Scrolling Stage? I would like it to have objects which can be jumped off of…somewhat like @griffpatch's , but maybe not quite so much…at least just at first.
