G'morning.
I am working on a tile-based platform racing game called Block Runner 2.
Its coded in Lua using the [url=http://www.love2d.org/]Love2D[/url] framework.
[url=http://novaember.com/br/]Fucked up information on my website[/url]
Tomorrow Im gonna start on the actual gameplay. (Creating tiles, making maps, etc.)
My question is: Does anyone have any ideas? I would love to see some.
(By the way, I am still looking for some spriters and musicians.. The more, the better!)
Pics!
Background scrolls, 3 buttons are disabled because they dont do anything yet.

Everything nicely moves out of the screen to make room for another menu when you press a button:

In-game, not so much work done here. (Yes, thats a table on a wall)

At this moment, my best work on this is behind the scenes. Maps and tilesets get loaded from external JSON-like files, there is a (broken due to the new menu layout) DLC system that lets you download additional packs, and I made a net library with caching.
Can we see what Block Runner looks like?
It annoys me when people release a sequel to a game they never released.
Why didn't you posted it in "What are you working on.."([url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1137375[/url]) ?

Okay, Ill take some screens and put them in the OP, but it doesnt really look fantastic atm

Uhm, I did release Block Runner 1 but that was a long time ago and I dont know where it is now
[QUOTE=Sebixxx;33453183]Why didn't you posted it in "What are you working on.."([url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1137375[/url]) ?[/QUOTE]
Because I also want ideas. If I post this in WAYWO, (btw, I also did that a week ago) its gonna be forgotten faster
You don't have gameplay but you do have a DLC system?
Bobby Kotick Jr. has arrived.

You can walk around and smash your head against walls.
Also, you can jump 7 feet in the air.
On the other hand, there is only 1 map with 7 kinds of tiles. Thats what Im gonna work on now.
Map 2 is a separate DLC, $15.

Thats the idea. Lmao.
But no, Im thinking about making some sort of special currency. You can get those "points" by achievements and by donating. Then when you make a DLC, you can choose to make it free or available for xx points.
Havent really thought it through though.

Yes, I noticed that.

Don't think people will donate for this.
[QUOTE=Staneh;33461777]Don't think people will donate for this.[/QUOTE]
People donate for the weirdest stuff
Also, its donating - People want to give you money and this is my way to thank them
I mean, I cant pay them for donating

no you haven't. You're going to sell this shit?
It's not really a donation if you're going to give them things is it? It's selling things.
[QUOTE=AtomiCasd;33462384]no you haven't. You're going to sell this shit?[/QUOTE]
No, the game itself is free.

Even tho these are different that my idea, it comes down to the same thing.
Allow me to repeat that:
- Its still an idea
- There are other ways to get those points
- Youre not forced to donate
That's not donating either. That's selling premium membership.
BR2: Donating vs selling
Nobody will donate anything if you don't have anything worth donating. Go do that first.

Yeah thanks for making that sentence strong. You're not getting it. Or I am not. Either way, my point is is that you shouldn't even be thinking about donations, points, achievements or all those other things. You aren't even able to show us gameplay. Make the gameplay first, then think about all the other important things. Take a look at Maurice ([url]http://stabyourself.net/[/url]). He makes amazing games with thousands(?) of visitors and he isn't even asking about donations or rewarding them. He just has this subtle PayPal button next to all his other buttons.
If all you want is make money, don't look into making indie games.

This is a fun project for me, but if I have ideas to make some money, even if its just a few bucks, why shouldnt I do that?
Because realistically, [b]nobody is going to pay for your half-assed game.[/b]
I'm sorry, but the idea in and of itself is not appealing. I would not pay for this game.
We really have to rant about this, dont we?
My original question for this thread was: Does anyone have any ideas for the actual gameplay? (Tiles, mechanism, etc.)
No. If we did, we'd make our own games.
[QUOTE=Jookia;33463822]No. If we did, we'd make our own games.[/QUOTE]
Then dont post.
If you just keep rating people dumb when they tell you the truth and ignore their advice I won't even try.
I would pay for this if this game would be "special";
That means:
-Some good features like digging; Or
something new.
-Acceptable graphics
etc.
All in all what the game accentuates from the others
I have some ideas
[QUOTE=Darwin226;33465671]I have some ideas[/QUOTE]

Im going to bed
