Guest Croccy22 Posted April 25, 2003 Report Posted April 25, 2003 Whilst I am finishing off smartanoid I decided to start planning what game to work on next. Just as a simple game to practice scrolling techniques I though of making a Moon Patrol clone. Anyone remember it??? So what does anyone think. Yey or Nay? Matt Oh by the way it currently has *5* level parralax scrolling. Whoopppeee do!MoonPat.JPG
Guest Croccy22 Posted April 25, 2003 Report Posted April 25, 2003 For anyone who is really bored, here is the game so far. It currently has no controls, you can't do anything and it is really dull. But I just love the way my truck wheels bounce up and down. Copy both these files into a folder and run using smartexplorer or create a shortcut. Softkey 1 - quit (Hey I guess it does have controls!!!) MattMoonPatrol.zip
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted April 25, 2003 Report Posted April 25, 2003 What a game ;) nice one. This was one of the first speccy games I played :)
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 25, 2003 Report Posted April 25, 2003 Hey, Croccy's avatar is my XP logon character ;) P
Guest Croccy22 Posted April 25, 2003 Report Posted April 25, 2003 Only picture I could find at the time ;) Mr truck now has speed control and can also jump. Just in case anyone cares!!! Matt
Guest meaks Posted April 25, 2003 Report Posted April 25, 2003 Definately keep it up - looks cool to me ;)
Guest Richie M Posted April 25, 2003 Report Posted April 25, 2003 ;D well done Croccy, cant wait for this ;)
Guest Croccy22 Posted April 25, 2003 Report Posted April 25, 2003 Copy this into the same directory as the gd104.dll file and run from shortcut. Still nowhere near finished but what the heck. Right = accelerate. left = decelerate. 0 = jump have fun doing nothing. MattMoonPat2.zip
Guest mike-oh Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 MY GOD! i do remember! It was one of my old cpc games!
Guest mike-oh Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Just tried it. Oh the memories! Yeah, it's great! Just gonna be a wincey bit anal, there aren't clouds on the moon and the siloette looks like a jungle canopy, maybe it should be called jungle patrol! ;) No, seriously, good work and i'm looking forward to a more playable version. cheers mike
Guest NederSoren Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Nice... Got an idea.. When this game is finished, coulld you then make somekind of puzzel? In the same style as this... It would use the same enigine It could be based on time.. You would have to jump over things and use other things to get somewere!... does it sond like an idea? I think it could be fun :) Btw.. I hope someone soon will make something not that spacy! Im tired of games taking place on the moon ;)
Guest Gorskar Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Btw.. I hope someone soon will make something not that spacy! Im tired of games taking place on the moon  Motocross stunt racer? Tennis addict? Microturismo? etc etc etc?
Guest NederSoren Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Gorskar: Ye, ye... i know.. there's many games that is not spacy... but 1/3 or something like that? or.. well.. i dont know :) hehe ;) ;) Anyway.. i know you and midnight makes some briliant stuff, so thats why im requesting you to make stuff :D
Guest X-mania Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 Hey - This game is sooo COOOOL Was 1 of my favorite speccy games!!! Cant wait for an updated version... Keep up the brilliant work dude!!!
Guest midnight Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 actually, i'm only working on two spacey games :wink: and one of them isn't just spacey, has several themes, just that the first one happens to be space ;) actually, using a 'similar' engine many games are possible, one i'd like to do is choplifter :) and if you enhance the engine a bit then something like silkworm shouldnt be too difficult (the basic design was based on moon buggy anyway)
Guest Croccy22 Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 I know there's no clouds on the moon, and also there isn't any trees or anything either. But if you think about it, when was the last time you went for a drive in your 6 wheeled army coloured fire engine thing that can jump at the push of a button and then got attacked by a ufo!!! Hmmm, thought so! Anyway midnight is starting to knock up some better graphics for this now (I never once said I was an artist!!!). I only used those graphics coz I had similar things kicking around on my computer. Anyway I had better lock myself back up in my room for a few hours and do some work. Got a bit more stuff to do for smartanoid and loads more things to experiment with for this game. Matt
Guest midnight Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 hehe, world war 2 bomber found on moon next to army fire truck
Guest midnight Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 just to keep you guys in the picture, here is the ingame gfx, just the background/foreground parallax stuff... * UPDATE now with ufo sprite ;)
Guest MoRFLeZ Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 *drools all over her shirt* That looks extremely sweet...
Guest mike-oh Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 s*** HOT! Croccy, was only joking fella! Trees and clouds looks great anyhow. I did wonder about the camoflage truck ;) Midnight, you've surpased yourself. Thanks mike
Guest PsychoDave Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Tasty Biscuits Any idea of a time scale croccy? Soon please ;)
Guest NederSoren Posted April 28, 2003 Report Posted April 28, 2003 Looks great guys... I would like to see this game soon with a little more control.. One thing i would like you to notice is: Even if the truck is driving very slow, the wheels are still bounsing very fast ;) But i know it is in early development, so lots of time to corect it.. and besides, it is only a very small thing :)
