[marbig]

Yes.......

[psyke o_0]

[marbig]

Sorry I was just trying to find out information in a certain way, but I will try in a different way next time.

[fredwormy]

my sigworm

[marbig]

Wow, that's a big hat.

[BuffaloKid]

Their ears and a missile. It looks better as such.

[marbig]

ohhhhh! nice pic you got there

[BuffaloKid]

Indeed. My new style.

double post edit

Where's plasma, anyway?

[fredwormy]

that's a very good picture

[Plasma]

Sorry, I haven't been online in a while. I had a busy week.
1: Yes, you can all be in.
2: No, I don't think the demo will be in by Hallowe'en.
3: Only some of the graphics left to make now.
4: If anyone wants to make the menu buttons, please ask! I can do them, but it's really annoying.
5: Actuallly, it doesn't take that much effort to make an alternative weapon as it might seem.

[Wiglworm]

hi plasma you get my present?

[Drunk-worm]

Oooh, is it too late to add me?

oh.. yeah

1. The NY symbol on the cap is just a red NY now just the letters, normally, in red.

2. Umm.. his special weapon is an explosive beercan :)

[WeXzuZ]

Hi Plasma can I be in ? =)
My charakter looks like my avatar but with a blue blouse thing(I'll come up with a picture later)
My weapons will be:
Bazooka : WXZ Launcher - A missile like shell is fired from the bazooka launcher, the WXZ is also windeffected and does the same damage as bazooka

SS: Default

Pigeon: Black

Finisher: I'll come up with one later

EdiT: I think this should work http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/6812/worm7ys.png (http://imageshack.us)
Only the hair is a bit messy I think =/

[Shockdude]

remember to check post 311, on page 11, for weapon and stage updates.

btw, when can we see the secret screenshot?

[marbig]

Yes, can we please?:)

[WeXzuZ]

I made a better worm for the game.
Updated hair and added aura
http://img447.imageshack.us/img447/8973/worm15ea.png (http://imageshack.us)

[Plasma]

The 'Secret Screenshot'?
Drunk-worm and wexuz, you should think of more weapons.
And Buffalo, what colour do you want your horns to be?

[Shockdude]

btw more screenies soon there is a proper level done but im not allowed to show it that screen

[WeXzuZ]

Sheep: A dog, maybe make it say bow-wow
Super Sheep: A flying pig with a rainbow-coloured cape
Ninja rope: --
Bungee: --
Sheep Launcher: Dog launcher
Old Woman: Old man =P
Sheep Strike: Cats and dogs (if thats impossible then only dogs)
Pneumatic Drill: --
Blow torch: --
Kamikaze: Kayoken = Just like normal kami from W:A just with red aura thingy instead of the default purple
Viking Axe: Karate Chop
Flamethrower: Ki-blasts-thrower = Instead of fire, small plasma-like balls are fired from both hands
Concrete donkey: A car (doesnt mater which)
Napalm Strike: Lemon Strike (see lemonbomb)
Mad Cows: Cats
Air strike: --
Earthquake: Just my worm that punches downwards once
Dragonball: Kamehame ha = I fire a big plasma-like ball (the size of the defualt dragon ball) and there is a beam behind it that connects to my hands
Firepunch: A backflip where the tail is making the enemy fly upwards
Holy Hand Grenade: Spirit Bomb = its a big light-ball, instead of Halelujah, make it go like a bears ROAR
Banana Bomb: Fire 'n Ice = I fire a Yellowish ball that explodes into White balls (ice) and red balls (fire)

Ill come up with some more if I can

Edit: Finisher:My worm flies to the enemy and hovers there, fires 20 ki-blasts at enemy (it can be less than 20, just a number above 5)

2nd Edit: Heres is a picture of my Fire 'n Ice

[BuffaloKid]

Shiny black (Like highly polished) horns please

[Gardy Looo]

S.Sheep:Lite green. same with pigeon. Anyway, do they only have Darth as the boss. If possible, make mini bosses at the end at evry level.

[Metal Alex]

Well, I don't know if this could be easy to program, but I've got a strange new mode idea... If there is wormpot it could be in there...

Well, it could be named "Smash mode", or "melee", or something like that.
It basically is like the "super smash bros melee" gamestyle. I mean:
-The life is controlled by percentage.
-Each worm begins with 0%.
-They gain percentage instead of loosing life.
-With a bigger amount of damage, the worm goes further because of the same explosion, gradually. (starts going quite far at 100%, or you could set the resistance of the worms, like the life you begin with.)
-Worms can only die when drowning or doing kamikazes.
-Percentage can't be negative.

It's like the godmode, but, stranger...
The only problem could be that no finishers are allowed...

What do you think?
Since this could be hard work... Plasma decides... again.

[Hot Gravy]

How about you have LOADS against buisnessmen and petrol and all that, beause sometimes oil or stuff like that is spilt into water and poisons it in real life, so how about you try drown/kill them instantly when you see them?

For me I hate firemen and other rescue teams like that (You should know the reason why!)

Weapon/anim ideas for me:

Suicide bomber: I stick a flaming knife in my eye slowly with the default worm emotion on my face, then I blow up!

For my backflip, make me light up with fire as I do it

Freeze: I catch fire (but it OBVIOUSLY doesn't harm me)

Skunk: The farting ninja: I hold a ninja and give him loads of baked beans, so he runs around farting. For his jumps make him do cartwheels and for the "Squeak!" sound instead have him going "Hiiiiyaa!" and "Hai!".

Dieing anim: Make my worm charge up with fire, about to do an attack with an evil laugh, but he charges up a little too much and explodes!

Indian Nuke: Make the camera point to a REALLY fat man that eats LOADS of baked beans, then you hear someone say "He's gonna blow! AAARGGHH!!!"
the you hear the combination between a farting noise and a REALLY loud explosion (A really loud explosion with the noise of a REALLY loud fart nearly drowning out the explosion sound)

Another favour please:

Please show me a pic of my landscape so I can use it in W:A (Obviously in that pic the objects like the quicksand won't work).

Thank you Plasma!

[Plasma]

1: Smash mode sounds kinda good. I'll think about it.
2: Darky isn't the only boss. He's not even... oh. Nevermind! And I don't think I'll have a boss at every level.
3: Gavy, I wont have your thingy of the indian nuke. And I haven't got your landscape yet. Especially as you didn't fully tell me what you want you're level to be like (I advise waiting for the demo first). And The freeze thing would be better as glass. (fire + sand)
4: Wexuz, what are ki-blasts?
5: I'll let Psyke decide if he can show the level. He did make it, after all.

[WeXzuZ]

4: Wexuz, what are ki-blasts?

Here is a picture of one. The arrow is showing the direction this ki-blast is flying.

[Plasma]

Just thinking through the story, this is probably one of the only games where the good forces have the advantage over the evil.
And Darky and Buffalo are gonna hate me for the way I portray them.

[DarthDarky]

this sounds not good... :rolleyes:

[DarthDarky]

but as long as I'm evil and powerful, and buffalokid my apprentice, anf Gardy Looo HIS apprentice, everything is alright :D

EDIT: oh, just noticed that theres no double-post-editing anymore..

[Plasma]

Don't worry, it all works out in the end.
Hmm... I wonder what it would be like to defeat yourself.

[agent luke]

oh yeah i want a few more speshil weapons [i only have three] lets see...............1:matrix combo [replaces fire punch]:the matrix combo is just a whole bunch of wild punches does 58 damage. 2:disinagrate[replaces teleporter] the disinagrat is when my glasses turn green and it makes the worm well......disinagrate.....and does 100 damage [i only get to use it once]

and the double uzi[replaces the uzi]:well one uzi with all the bullets hitting does 50 damage...so two uzis would make 100 damage!



and the secret base[works and replaces the freeze] instead of having ice come over me....a small little metal base does! [and on the front it says secret base].








oh and whens that demo coming out?

[Plasma]

Luke, read what I said about changing weapons.

[UnKnown X]

The attacks should be more powerful if they are harder to pull off.

But yeah...

[Gardy Looo]

but as long as I'm evil and powerful, and buffalokid my apprentice, everything is alright :D

EDIT: oh, just noticed that theres no double-post-editing anymore..
What about me? *whines*:(

[DarthDarky]

sorry :rolleyes: i edited it :D

[Hot Gravy]

1: Smash mode sounds kinda good. I'll think about it.
2: Darky isn't the only boss. He's not even... oh. Nevermind! And I don't think I'll have a boss at every level.
3: Gavy, I wont have your thingy of the indian nuke. And I haven't got your landscape yet. Especially as you didn't fully tell me what you want you're level to be like (I advise waiting for the demo first). And The freeze thing would be better as glass. (fire + sand)
4: Wexuz, what are ki-blasts?
5: I'll let Psyke decide if he can show the level. He did make it, after all.

I just described my level earlier on in the thread :mad:

[BuffaloKid]

Just thinking through the story, this is probably one of the only games where the good forces have the advantage over the evil.
And Darky and Buffalo are gonna hate me for the way I portray them.
I'm going to hate you? What have you done to me? If you make me immature and kinda stupid, then fine.

[Plasma]

1: Buff, It's not immature and stupid. It's closer to just pathetic.
2: Darthy, not at the beginning.
3: Gravy, I meant I haven't made your level yet.

[marbig]

And I haven't made mine. I better hurry up and find some 'inspiration'!

[Plasma]

And you probably shouldn't put your name in giant letters. I'll make sure people know who made each level.

[marbig]

Ahh, that would be even better. I'll just do a little ditty in word or something, which may have food.

[Plasma]

Put it in after the level, I still have to decide where a person's signature should go.

[marbig]

I'll git started once I've finished drawing a very poor Gardy.

[Metal Alex]

Well, Marbig, I had a silly idea of your map... Maybe "Marbig's hill", like the hill where the Hollywood letters are, but with your name... Since you have the alphageddon, it could be appropiate...

[marbig]

Oh, you did? I thought you forgot about it! I like it, and may adapt it, as long as that giant letters thing is okay with tha Plasma.

[Plasma]

Only if you make it in the hollywood kinda way and you have other stuff related to your name or sigworm.

[marbig]

Sure, I'll give it a go.

[Drunk-worm]

Well, i suppose i better mash up a big list of weapons...

Sheep---> Pig
Super Sheep---> Flying pig
Ninja rope---> A hookshot
Sheep Strike---> Drops Flaming beer cans from the sky
Pneumatic Drill ----> TNT Drill, Once you stop it it lays a TNT...
Blow torch---> D-W sprinkles beer on the wall and then eats his way through...
Kamikaze---> D-W Covers himself in petrol and flies off to his target
Viking Axe---> A katana sword
Flamethrower---> Lynx can with a lit match at the front
Concrete donkey---> The Duff blimp comes crahing down, it only goes halfway through the land but it sets it on fire
Mad Cows ---> Bird flu, a bunch of pidgeons explode in toxic gas once the timer runs out or they hit their target.
Air strike---> A chopper with a worm in it drops worm kamikazies onto the landscape
Dragonball---> Projectile puking, 'nuff said.
Firepunch---> 2 *****slaps and an uppercut
Homing Pigeon---> A homing pidgeon with a beercan on its back, explodes with a fiery bang.
Pistol---> Desert eagle, now 3 times more powerful, but has less shots.

[marbig]

Bird Flu, that's a really good idea! (for a game only)

[Gardy Looo]

Bird Flu, that's a really good idea! (for a game only)
Great, someone who supports the revelation of the apocalypse.
And Plasma, if you don't mind, I would like to change ma finisher. It's a spam bomb. It's like a grey tube thing. Or maybe a millenium egg strike. (only drops one egg)

[WeXzuZ]

I just realized that I forgot to write about the Lemon bomb and the napalm strike says you have to read about it XD
Petrol Bomb - Lemon Bomb: Just like a sodabottle with yellow soda in it. The fire is just yellow

EdiT: Here is some sprites for some of my weapons.
The Lemon bomb
My WXZ Missile
Improved WXZ missile (the replacement for the Homing missile)
My black pigeon

[Shockdude]

any updates with the game so far?

and, make my stage a whole g&w system (not just the screen), see if you can get it to 1920x696. keep the border, though

[Plasma]

You're gonna have ta make the system, I haven't played any game&watch.
I think I'm gonna include a weapon based on the bird flu.

Oh, for anyone that read "the worm's guide to the galaxy" topic, the story will be based on the origins of The Wormy Empire.

[Reder8]

You should make a list of people, weapons and landscapes/terrains.

[Wiglworm]

Whoa, slow down bub.
A list?
I think it is a little soon for that.

[Gardy Looo]

Hey Plasma, do the worms in the game have gravestones? If so, can you make Buffalo's grave a red flaming goat skull? I got a pic but I'm being watched...

[DarthDarky]

Oh, for anyone that read "the worm's guide to the galaxy" topic, the story will be based on the origins of The Wormy Empire.
See this for the true (and long) story of the wqormy empire. Dont put a wrong story in your game!
or the darksiders will kill you :p

[BuffaloKid]

Hey Plasma, do the worms in the game have gravestones? If so, can you make Buffalo's grave a red flaming goat skull? I got a pic but I'm being watched...
Excuse me. I can request for myself, young apprentice. A red flaming sock skull, please.

[Shockdude]

tombstone: just a black game and watch statue ringing a bell

oh, by the way, here are a few game & watch emulators (http://www.4colorrebellion.com/index.php?p=44).

If this is no good, how do I make stages?

[Gardy Looo]

Excuse me. I can request for myself, young apprentice. A red flaming sock skull, please.
HEHE:o Sorry master. This apprentice of yours is not worthy to decide your death statue of darkness.

[DarthDarky]

my tombstone would be a statue of myself (easy to sprite, just my worm, but in grey colours)

the soldiers and bodyguards have a statue of me as tombstone, too.

[Gardy Looo]

My gravestone is that normal grey one but has green stuff around it OR a a green stick thing that wobbles.

[Metal Alex]

Well, this was my gravestone in WA. I may choose another one for this game, but feel free to use it if you want.

[Drunk-worm]

I'm glad you like my Bird flu idea guys. :)

[Gardy Looo]

Yeah! Do bird flu. World's gonna end anyway. back on topic: Your gravestone is very funny, Alex! i'll change mine. It's me only very pale.

[Metal Alex]

Well, I tried to draw a new gravestone for me, but I failed:p . So I'm taking the OUCH one for me... sorry, Gardy... If I make new ones I'll tell you all...

[Hot Gravy]

For my greve, have my sigworm with his head blown off and smoke is coming from where it used to be, I also want my graveworm to be in the pose that he is in the death animation. This'll look funny lol:D

Also I've come up with a game mode for you in the game

Killer chasies: Like a version of chasies, only you have to kill the worm to make them it (they'll respawn in the same place they died) worms will also start with 1 health and no health crates.

[Shockdude]

i now dedicate this photo to the rest of you

in which i made because i was bored

[Gardy Looo]

I'll just pretend I won't complain I'm not in that pic...
Anyway, I changed again. Ignate is ma siggy. I'll try to get an image if you want to...

[Wiglworm]

i now dedicate this photo to the rest of you

in which i made because i was bored
Cool that looks nice.

I made it my avatar.

[Gardy Looo]

Here. I can't post attachments. (Misa being watched)

Ignate.(that's me!) (http://img482.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wbrth16fm.gif)

if you're busy, you can just remove the green flames.

[BuffaloKid]

i now dedicate this photo to the rest of you

in which i made because i was bored
And I'm still missing a horn.

[Wiglworm]

i now dedicate this photo to the rest of you

in which i made because i was bored
And something has been bugging me.
who the hell are those red & blue guys?

[Gardy Looo]

hey Plasma will you be making a tutorial? And who's teaching the tutorials?

[Julian]

Haloween in a moment (yes the demo is nearly ready i think):)

[Metal Alex]

i now dedicate this photo to the rest of you

in which i made because i was bored
Oh, no! If I'm the lower right worm, someone stole my backpack and cleaned the red lines from my face!!!
If I'm not that one, I'm not in the pic...:p

[WeXzuZ]

Hey Plasma, if you're still here and making the worms have graves could you then make this one?
CLick on the "Finger" one (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=397585&postcount=13)

[Smapuli]

i now dedicate this photo to the rest of you

in which i made because i was bored

(a little late repaly) Well I won´t mind if I´m not in the pic but my thombstone is an uzi:p

[Plasma]

right then:
1: I already said that the demo wouldn't be by hallowe'en because the worm graphics takes way longer than I had anticipated.
2: Yes, there's gravestones (it can be animated too)
3: Wexuz, I'm not gonna include that gravestone because it's too rude and to similar to a normal worm.
4: There'll be tutorials, but not in the demo. Haven't decided who's to do it.
5: The red guy is Hot Gravy and the blue and black isn't a person's character.
6: The emulator crashed my PC.

[Plasma]

7: My group pic needs updating.
8: Actually, a list would help.
9: I'm gonna see if Scorpion will finish the programming while I work on the worms. Then I can give a clear time remaining for my part. (Psyke's making levels and menu)
10: This should not be a seperate post.

[WeXzuZ]

3: Wexuz, I'm not gonna include that gravestone because it's too rude and to similar to a normal worm.

OKay, I'll just make another one which isn't rude and not a worm then =)

Edit: Here is my new non-rude and non-worm grave
The cold fire, I think it fits good for my worm..

Edit #2: Attached the cold fire with white background because its easier to see the grave itself

[Metal Alex]

By the way, why doesn't some people "teach" in the tutorials what they know to do? Like Psyke teaching about melee weapons (Prodding mayhem!), or me (or any other roper) for the rope, just as examples...

By the way, silly graves time! (If someone can animate the robot's sparks, It would be better)

[>DoomWorm<]

i would be happy if i was one of the lightside worms in this.

[Shockdude]

by the way, i took those worms off the worms fusion logo, so not all of you got on there. will be fixed soon.
dont expect me to post often, since i am now really busy with things.

[marbig]

Well, i made a grave!

[Plasma]

1: An odd grave, Marb
2: Sure Doomworm. (don't expect a big part though)
3: Don't bother submitting loads of graves, they wont be selectable. Each worm has it's own graves.
4: Good idea, Alex.
5: Scorpion's taking over for the programming.

[Hot Gravy]

I would like to be teaching about fire and what it can do!;)

By the way, can you please explain the worm made out of rocks in that group pic?

[Plasma]

No I wont
And there won't be fire in this game. I didn't find it that effective.

[Gardy Looo]

I would like to be teaching about fire and what it can do!;)

By the way, can you please explain the worm made out of rocks in that group pic?
That's Mecha Plasma.

[Hot Gravy]

No I wont
And there won't be fire in this game. I didn't find it that effective.

Wha....? You mean I can't be the fire Guardian?:eek:

Or do you just mean I can't teach them about fire?

If so I would like to teach them about...... er...... *Spends hours thinking*

Got it!:

I'll teach them about computers and proggrammer skills! (Electricito does too,
he also taught me!)

[Plasma]

I meant there won't be the same kind of fire as in the normal worms games.
And you're still the fire guardian.

And there'll only be tutorials on things relevant to this game.

[Hot Gravy]

I meant there won't be the same kind of fire as in the normal worms games.
And you're still the fire guardian.

And there'll only be tutorials on things relevant to this game.

In that case I'll teach about utilities (except from rope, Metal Alex is doing that) and secondary weapon attacks

At the first part I say: "Hi. Welcome to utility training. You see that toolbox over there? That's a utility crate. You following me? Well stop following me or else I'll have you arrested! Anyways, go collect that crate."

Then once you collect it I say: "Good. You're not as dumb as you look, now then, the utility you just got out of that crate is the Jet Pack. I've given you infinite fuel since you're a beginner. Now, I want you to fly over there and collect that wepon crate which has dynamite inside."

Then once you collect it I say: "Great, now I want you to bomb those targets over there with your dyamite. First equip the Jet Pack and then equip the dynamite, once you're over a target, press the secondary fire button to drop a dynamite down. Each time a target is destroyed, another will pop up in it's place. Now bomb them all you want, they'll just keep on coming. Whenever you're finished blowing those things to bits, head on to that utility crate over there, it has a parachute. I'm off to grab a bacon buttie."

Once you collect the parachute I say: "Great. Now I want you to *Chomp!* *talks with mouth full* equip the parachute and *Swallow* jump off, then press the fire button *Chomp!* *starts talking with mouth full again*. Then glide over to that building."

Once you land on building I say: "Good. *Guzzles really loud and swallows* Now collect that other crate next to you."

Once you collect it I say: "Now use that girder. Use the mouse to move it around and press fire to place it. Oh and make sure you place it in a decent position so you can climb on to the next building. Oh and make it snappy, I nearly fell asleep when you used the jet pack!"

If you place it in a bad position and fall into the water while trying to jump on to it I say: "No, no, no! You should've gone to Specsavers! *Sighs* I'll get rid of that one and bring you back up so you can try again. *You respawn and see the girder catch fire and dissappear*"

If you get across I say "Finally.. I mean well done! now you've completed your tutorial on utilities! Now you can leave me alone and get on with your "Adventures"! Good luck....... I said "Good luck"....."Good luck" means "Good Bye!" So hurry up and go into that portal beside you!
Sheesh! Some "Adventurer"......!"

[Plasma]

Hmm... We'll see how it goes. I won't be doing it for a while anyway.

[Hot Gravy]

Hmm... We'll see how it goes. I won't be doing it for a while anyway.

OK.

Sudden Death idea: A black hole comes and sucks random parts of the landscape off every 20 seconds

Edit: Came up with theme song.


(Whispers) Worm Fusion!

MASSIVE EXPLOSION

Crazy frog Axel F Tune only instead of "Ding! Ding!" you have "Wormy! Wormy!"

Then next verse instead of "Wormy! Wormy!" you have "Fusion! Fusion!"

At the part were he goes "Ring-ding-ding-ding ding ding- ring-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding" have the Handgun firing to the tune of the part

then at the part where crazy frog originnally falls you hear a bomb falling sound then "Let's go boomy!" BBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!

then at that part where it goes "Fr-fr-freaky, fr-freaky!" Instead have "W-w-wormy, w-wormy!"

[Plasma]

Heh, heh. But no. And that tune is Axel Foley, not Crazy Frog.
And I'm not too sure about the black hole thing.

[DarthDarky]

the black hole thing would be extremely cool! :D (and much better than just rising water)

[Plasma]

Yes, but not random parts. It should be at random and keep getting bigger.

[DarthDarky]

of course :D

[Smapuli]

I think that blackhole thing is cool too:p

[agent luke]

here's my grave stone:

[>DoomWorm<]

2: Sure Doomworm. (don't expect a big part though)

awww. :p

made a graveh!

basically just the spirit of doomworm.

[DarthDarky]

you should animate it (would look better)

[psyke o_0]

il be on close combat and moment tutorials jumping ect ^^

n here's my grave stone !

[BuffaloKid]

You+Tutorials=Yay!
Your Gravestone+That design=Too easy to confuse for a live worm.

[psyke o_0]

and that wasnt the perpose ? :P

[marbig]

If you need anymore tutorials, just whack me in there. For any more ideas, just ask me.

[Plasma]

For anyone that's noticed something a little odd about my avatar, I'm now gonna say how many frames are left in making the different worms. (I'm having it as my av so you won't have to keep looking back here)
Note that the demo may not be finished by this time as I may encounter problems with programming.

[Gardy Looo]

Good luck, Plasma.

[Plasma]

And Psyke. Don't forget Psyke.

[Rarsonic]

If you want to make me for the game...

And i would not leave a graveyard. I would die in a big dark energy explosion (read my bio and you'll know why :D )

[Muzer]

MY landscape is gonna be that 'nana one from the wa screensaver...
http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/worms/wa/anims/extramaps/banana.gif

[twoapenny]

hmm.. interseting... is it too late to be added?

[Muzer]

grave is a banana skin
I teach about nanas in the tutorial!
Everything 2 do with nanas! (i.e. super nanas...'nana strike (if it's in the game)...normal 'nanas...and my special golden banana! (it has something about in the charecter select, when you unlock Muzer (me), u will get a steerable 'nana instead of super sheep, then explains how 2 use it...)

[Plasma]

1: A tutorial on the banana only is a bit pathetic to include.
2: No, it's not too late.
3: Removed frame count from my av as I've actually finished all worm graphics. (I spent the last three days doing very little else)
4: A graveyard? Why would you leave a graveyard?

[Wiglworm]

Will you be done before the holidays?

[BuffaloKid]

I assume the probable thing is demo during or just after holidays.

[Wiglworm]

ok. :)
...i don't have much patience but i can wait...

can ya show a screenshot plasma?

[Plasma]

I honestly have no idea when it will be done. It could be done in the next week or two, if I'm really lucky. All that's left is to finish off the programming. And do the menu.

[Metal Alex]

Uh... is it too late to change my dinamite with a computer with the blue screen? (it reminds mine)

[twoapenny]

2: No, it's not too late.

right... so what the hell do i need to do? :rolleyes:

[Hot Gravy]

Is the demo ready yet?!?!?!?!?!? *Holds breath for too long and suffacates. Fire servants have to pump air into me then Electricito electric shocks me to wake me up*

Oh yeah, I would also like my fire servants in the game to wear a Santa hat, only the red bit is orange and the white bits look like fire, so the bobble on top will look like a fireball! (sorry to give you extra work!)

[Muzer]

Should I make the menu? PM me please with deatails (what buttons u want etc) if yes.

[Plasma]

1: No thanks Muzer, Psyke is working on that. (although he's going a bit slow)
2: 2p, you have to make a list of all the weapons you want replaced. You can replace as many weapons as you want, but they can't be more powerful than the origional. You can include stuff like clusters to a weapon.
3: No, the demo is not done yet. (It will be, soon, just have to figure out how the index function works, try have destructable, non-laggy ground and do the menu)

[psyke o_0]

ok ok il work none stop on sunday and get them all done ok ?

[marbig]

Wow. Go Psyke!
Here's something that won't help at all:

[Hot Gravy]

Hey Plas, need any help with sprites?

[Plasma]

Why did you only ask just as I was finished the sprites?
And thank you Psyke.

[Hot Gravy]

Why did you only ask just as I was finished the sprites?
And thank you Psyke.

sorry just trying to boost the release date and help:(

[Muzer]

yeah! how ya doin with the menus, psyke?

[Plasma]

I predict the 1st demo will be out within a week. Probably.
The 2nd should be out before or around Christmas.

[redcounty]

I'm sorry about that Plasma, I will re-do my sprite if I can still be in the game ?(mum) sorry.

[Plasma]

Sorry about what, exactly?
And you are still in the game.

[redcounty]

Well my siggworm in sprite was a bit inappropriate so tha mods removed it and I re-made it.

[Muzer]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!

[Plasma]

Oh, actually, does anyone have a program that can make icons?

[Metal Alex]

Oh, actually, does anyone have a program that can make icons?
If you want to make icons, use paint, and save as ".ico". It works, really.
If you want to change the game's icon... then I don't know...:p

[Plasma]

It's not working for me.
It makes a 32x32 icon, but the game can't use it.

[Shockdude]

it's been so long...

i hope i can get that demo...

[Metal Alex]

It's not working for me.
It makes a 32x32 icon, but the game can't use it.
You should try a 32x32 drawing. Maybe you used a bigger size and it was too big for it... maybe...

[Plasma]

I use a 32x32, but when I put it in the game, it says it can only have 32x32, single icons only.

[twoapenny]

ok... now is it too late to be added in? if not... what do i need to do?! :rolleyes:

[Plasma]

1: 2P, post 628 (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=454104&postcount=628) (sorry if it's a bit confusing)
2: Never mind, I found an icon program.

[twoapenny]

yar, a quote would have helped... so is that a no its too late then?

[Plasma]

No, it's a 'no, it's not too late'.
(although you might have to look back a couple of pages to find out what to do if you didn't understand what I meant)

[twoapenny]

do you possibly have a list of all the weapons lying about which you could attatch? :p

[Plasma]

Ahh...
Sorry, no. But don't worry, you've got plenty of time.

[twoapenny]

right.. and what game are the weapons from?

[Plasma]

WA and WWP.

[twoapenny]

well is it ok if i post them in dribs and drabs as i think of them?

[Plasma]

That's what everyone else does.

[Muzer]

where do i get this icon program i've been looking 4 1!!!

[Rarsonic]

I think it is not done :rolleyes: So then wait

[marbig]

Woot! Tha game will be like a Christmas present, and tha demo might be a birthday present!

[Hot Gravy]

I'm doing my 1st transfer test next week :(

And my mum's probably gonna ban me from PS2 and PC till the second one is done! :(

[Muzer]

I MEAN THIS!!!

[psyke o_0]

all the menu's and so and so have been done just a heads up ;)

[Hot Gravy]

all the menu's and so and so have been done just a heads up ;)

Oh goodie!:D Anyways what will be in the demo?

Edit: Hey Darthdarky, I would like to be in your side in the game! I help with the construction of your ships, and Electricito helps! Is that oK to you Plasma?

[twoapenny]

That's what everyone else does.
ooo ok...
Concrete Donkey- Gobsmackingly Big 2p Coin, does pratically the same as a concrete donkey but is a giant 2p coin.

Cluster bomb- Money Change, throws a 2p coin which explodes into 2 little 1p clusters.

Holy Hand Grenade- Holy Coinage, Is the same as a hhg but once again it is a 2p coin with a cross sticking out the top instead.

Mine- What the hell is that?, Is used like a mine but is actually a pile of dung, its explosion isnt quite as powerfull as a mine but it lets of poison gas.

i know most of these are the same but with different images, i may think of more later...

[Hot Gravy]

New Weapon:

MYSTERIO'S PRESENT TO ME

What it does: Turns everything upside down, so when the worms jump up they go down instead! And gravity pulls them up instead of down! lol
I'd laugh if someone launches a zook down, but it comes back up and hits them! I'm getting rid of my Fire Bunyip so this will replace Low Gravity!

[BuffaloKid]

As opposed to launching a zook up and it coming back up and hitting you. What fun:rolleyes:

[twoapenny]

What the hell did you just post Marbig?! that was umm... odd...
Anyway... moving swiftly on... i have another weapon...
flamethrower - Homemade Gravy, basically instead of fire the gun shoots out land which then... suprise suprise becomes land... also if you could put poisonous fumes coming out of the land for the turn it was used on only... that'd be sazzy... :p

[Rarsonic]

I do not know if this idea is posted:

WHATEVERTHROWER: It works like a flamethrower, but it can shoot fire, ice, poison, radioactivity, blood, acid...

And have to be the weapons original, because i've thought about the shrinker from DN3D

[marbig]

How smart it is!

(Oh and TP, my friend was over and he likes odd words)

[Plasma]

1: Those flamethrower ideas can't be done.
2: Gravy, that idea is actually very easy to do.
3: The demo most likely won't be finished before the weekend, as that's when I can spend most time.

Which one? Me helping with the ships or my Mysterio's present? Or both?

Anyways DarthDarky one of your ships could be a TIE fighter, only it's a TIE (the kind you wear with a tuxedo) that flys round the galaxy and shoots enemies! :D Also we try and shoot down the Millenium Falcon, which is a Giant Bird of prey that says "1000 years" on it's wings! It shoots Bird poo coloured blasts from it's bottom!:D rofl!

Also for our Wormperial Star Destroyer we have a rockstar who runs through space and shoots blasts from his guitar!:D

For the TIE advanced do an even longer, red coloured tie!

And also one of our ships is called the TIE breaker!:D It drops bombs that ask "What is 239 X 5?" then explodes :D

I'm laughing my head off at these ideas!

[Plasma]

The idea about the reverse gravity.

And those bombs should be called 'smart bombs'.
smart bombs are bombs that detect, and move around, ground

[Hot Gravy]

lol funny! Good idea! Woops! Spammed! To keep this on topic I'm going to

1. Remind you that it also brings everything upside down too! If you can't do that I'll just settle for reverse gravity!

2. Ask for another weapon:

To replace Uzi (since my Dual Phythons already replaced my minigun)

I throw mini fireballs repeatedly!

Yes, theyre funny :D, I like the Millenium Falcon one... maybe gonna include that in my comic... (But I dont think ideas about spaceships will matter for a worms game)

[Gardy Looo]

Did you get my sprite Plasma? Just asking

[redcounty]

hey plaasma wadda ya think of my sprite

[Hot Gravy]

But Psyke, can you please show me some of my weapon sprites? I would like to try and replace the Worms Armaggedon ones with them! Ta!

[Plasma]

1: Gardy, which sprite is this?
2: Your sprite is umm... different. In a good way.
3: I'm the one that does the worm sprites. And no, I haven't done your sprites yet.

[Zachstar]

Here is an idea for a worm.

Astronaut

Worm in an eva suit

[Gardy Looo]

Page 20, post 572. And remove the green flames.

[agent luke]

is the demo out yet?

[psyke o_0]

no it isnt it will be acouned when it is

[Plasma]

Ya, more unexpected dealys.

[Gardy Looo]

Are you making a separate thread for releasing the game?

[Plasma]

No, most likely not.

[BuffaloKid]

It would bring more attention to it, though. then again, you'd probably get loads of spam.

[psyke o_0]

here you go plasma just a lil bit of fan art for ya ^^ done in flash in about 3 minutes btw everyone this game is highly adictive and it has been a most enjoyible experience working on it with plasma ^^

[Shockdude]

i can tell

[Hot Gravy]

New Weapon for mwa!!!!!!


French onion

Instead of Holy Hand Grenade (yes I know I've already replaced it!)

I throw it and all worms nearby start to cry as it plays the Sheep Strike version of the National Anthem (Da da da da, da da DAAAAA, da da, da da da da DA, da da daaaaaaaaaa........) then it blows up! lol:D

[psyke o_0]

you ask for alot of stuff without any concern nor making them funny/ironic/good :P

[Hot Gravy]

you ask for alot of stuff without any concern nor making them funny/ironic/good :P

I thought my onion was funny!:eek:

[Plasma]

Umm... I can't make other worms cry, so the onion kinda loses it's meaning.

[Gardy Looo]

Did you get my sprite? I can't help asking.

[agent luke]

notice how hot gravy keeps changing his weapons? how come when i change'd my weapons once i get......uhh......emptyness?!?!

[Hot Gravy]

Umm... I can't make other worms cry, so the onion kinda loses it's meaning.

OK then I'll just stick to the Christmas Pud:(


NEW WEAPON IDEAS!

Instead of Standard Air Strike:

The Cement truck

A cement mixing truck flies in the air and drops 5 big balls of cement.

Worm damage: 0
Land damage: 0
Blast Strength: 0

BUT if a worm is hit by the cement, he will get stuck. He will have to press the fire button repeatedly 20 times to get free. Also any cement that only hits ground will stay on it and if a worm is unfortunate enough to fall on top, he will get stuck too!

For my finisher: My worm gets out a big fireball and a sports voice says "He's getting ready for a serve....!" then my worm makes a flaming tennis raquet and hit's the ball over to the worm and the voice says "He's done it! A perfect serve!" and the worm dyes. Only works if worm has 30 health or lower.


Like my ideas?

Also:

The maths Test machine: (to replace, um...., something.... GOT IT! The Ming Vase!)

I put down a machine with a teacher's mortar board and it asks "What is 249 X 8?" and the person next to it has 10 seconds to put in the correct answer, otherwise the machine will zap the worm causing 100 damage! However I always have to wait a delay of 5 turns for this powerful little thing to be used by me!

[Hot Gravy]

notice how hot gravy keeps changing his weapons? how come when i change'd my weapons once i get......uhh......emptyness?!?!

Eh? I'm not changing them, I'm adding more to my list....

[agent luke]

well if you can i can! new weapon ideas: smoke bomb:works exacly like and replaces the gas canister. only smoke comes out!

Agent rope:works just like the ninga rope...but i THROW a much skinny-er point that sticks in the worms and walls! [does 20 damage] [trying to make my weapons more agent-like]

trowing knifes:replaces the bow&arrows and does 20 damage per-knife! [i get 2 tries]

swipe:replaces prod. does 0 damage! instead of pokeing i just kinda whack!

neo:replaces super sheep. works like the super sheep...only its neo when he flys and stuff! and it does the same damage and has a green explosion!


thats all i have for now.

[redcounty]

hmm im not sure what i should do well plasma,marbig/chris my best friend what should i do on this thingie

[Shockdude]

weapons updated on page 11, post 311

[Plasma]

1: Luke, it's because Gravy tends to make weapons that are very hard to do.
2: Gardy, yes I got it a long time ago.
3: Red, waddya mean you dunno what to do?

[Wiglworm]

WEEEEEEEE!!!
I thought of a weapon.:rolleyes:

Name: Confusion Grenade
Description: (Replaces Banana bomb) a big "?" that flashes different colors and the clusters will be smaller versions of it.
It doesn't damage the worms and has a big amount of blast strength.

[psyke o_0]

right guys its time for psyke's opinion on the updated game and it is looking rather fun !!!! ive been playing it all day the menu is strange but fun and easy to grasp the consept of and work plus and my levels are nice too ;).

[Hot Gravy]

New move!

DARTHDARKY's TRICK


(Replace Fire Punch)

I lift up a worm with the force gently and strangle him doing 40 damage, but it doesn't fling him anywhere....

Edit: Hey Plasma, nearly finished the demo? What's gonna be in it? Online play?


Also I changed my mind for my worm death anim: (also please make it into my sigworm pressing the button!)

Should i be posting things like graves and stuff?... :p or is it not necessary?

[Hot Gravy]

Hey Plasma, this can be your loading screen sprite:

I SAID in the other thread "I'm not quite good with this animator yet!"

So where's the proverb I'm looking for...? Ah, yes....


LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP!:mad:


Speaking of which, Plasma I've had another idea for something it says when a worm falls into water:


" *Name here* should've looked before they leapt!" :D lol

Hmmm, Muzer's av gave me an idea for something in Worms: Fusion!

How about you have little unlockable cartoons that feature worms dying in them in a funny way!

Die-o-rama 1: Bad Banana!
http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/2356/dieorama1badbanana2em.png (http://imageshack.us)

Is it me or do you keep posting links to still images rather than animations?

[Hot Gravy]

Is it me or do you keep posting links to still images rather than animations?

Whaaaaat? I saved it with Fireworks MX but when I opened it (with Microsoft picture manager) it was animated! Strange.....:confused:

[WeXzuZ]

Hey Plasma, this can be your loading screen sprite:

I more thought of the fusion logo (the jin & yang) if its spelled so spinning

[psyke o_0]

is it just me or does gravy KEEP posting **** unessery hard idea's without thinking about the people who have to program it in or make the graphics oh yea that loading screen sucks monkey balls dude. despite it being MY weapon and you just scribbled loading on it like a 3 year old retard but meh im not gonna be mean.

[twoapenny]

and would it be possible to give me tail nail instead of viking axe?

[Plasma]

1: Yes, I do need a loading screen. It can be only one frame. (There will be a progress bar too)
2: 2p, I think I'll make TailNail a wapon.

[psyke o_0]

should be able too ask plasma ^^

[redcounty]

i meant is there any jobs i cud do for the game

[Hot Gravy]

OK sorry about the trouble Plasma, but I finally got the first Die-o-rama cartoon ready!
http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/7127/dieorama1badbanana4av.gif (http://imageshack.us)

Also here's my worm dying anim (yes, I still want you to make him into my sigworm!)

http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/7405/wdie22af.gif (http://imageshack.us)

[Plasma]

Actually, a death cartoon kinda thing would be good.
But they'd have to be one frame (and bigger than yours) and funny.

Oh, and some stuff about the demo you may wish to know in advance:
1: Your comp must be able to play mp3's to hear the backround music.
2: The demo will also be able to play CD's as backround music.

[marbig]

Argh, my sound is out on my computer!

One frame??????:confused:

How will it be animated???:confused:
Animated ones will be more enjoyable, I can help you with some!
Anyone got any ideas for a worm dying cartoon?

[UnKnown X]

Whaaaaat? I saved it with Fireworks MX but when I opened it (with Microsoft picture manager) it was animated! Strange.....:confused:
Do you have any idea whatsoever how different filetypes work? Do you even grasp the concept of different filetypes?
I SAID in the other thread "I'm not quite good with this animator yet!"

So where's the proverb I'm looking for...? Ah, yes....


LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP!:mad:
Uhm. Hello?

If you're "not quite good with this animator yet," why do you decide that you're fit for the job of making the logo? Especially when you "made it in 3 minutes"! Why would you rush it in a program that you are "not quite good with"?

I guess it makes sense though, if you ignore the entire concept of logic.

[agent luke]

once the demo comes out how much MB will it be?

[Plasma]

1: Gravy, It would be only one (big) frame for convenience.
2: Marbig, don't worry that much. The story cutscenes will be in subtitles only.
3: Luke, that's a good question:
The game will be about 5/8mb.
The music will be.. oh.. 30mb? But it will be a seperate download from the game (in 3 files probably) and you don't actually have to download it, you can use your own mp3 files.

[UnKnown X]

If you want me to, I can attempt to re-do the Taijitu (Yin and Yang symbol).

I need to know what style you want it in (dark and sinister, abstract, light and happy...)

[Plasma]

Umm... Sorry?
Why would you want to redo it?

[UnKnown X]

Why I'd want to re-do [this (http://forum.team17.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=25693&stc=1&d=1132007933)], you mean?

Unless that's not the actual loading screen for the game.


Edit: Oh; apparently, it's fan art. I got the impression of it being the loading screen because of this:
Dude! t's the worst loading screen in the world! Look @ the loading screens for other games! They're much better!

In that case, never mind.

[Plasma]

No, that was fanart by Psyke.
And that quote was a comment on Gravy's loading screen.
Although I still would like a good loading screen.

[UnKnown X]

Well, I'm up for the challenge. Though I might not be able right now. Maybe tomorrow, but I'll have to see what I can do.

Anyway, how do you want your loading screen?

[Plasma]

One frame only, anyway.
You decide the rest.

[UnKnown X]

Right.

One question though: do you want me to make an empty bar or something similar for the loading progress?

[Plasma]

You can, but it would have to be lower down.
And note that you can have transparent regions.

[agent luke]

the music will be... 30mb? but you can use your own mp3 files.



good. b cuz my cpu is kinda slow and 30 MB would take WAY to long!

[redcounty]

hey plasma jus wondering if me and my worm ARE in the game i never got around to asking and if they are can you take the comb out of the hair of my worm,thanks.

[Hot Gravy]

Hey Wormtrix, since I have the Electric Guardian as my partner, how about you have the ground guardian? He has a form of pure sand, can shapeshift and can do anything Sandman from Spiderman can do! Also he can cause Earthquakes, rockslides and all sorts of other things to do with the ground!:D

You can add more abilities to him if you like!

[Reder8]

How far have you got so far?

[Hot Gravy]

Hey Plasma I have 9 worm hats (and costumes) for you but I can't find a way to upload the zip file! Please help me!

[Plasma]

1: Gravy, Wormtrix left the forum AGES ago! And I won't be adding in Electro unless I know him. And put the hats and costumes onto one pic. And did you consider making your own topic for your pixel art?
2: RC (redcounty is still too long) yes, your character will be in.
3: Reder, I'm nearly finished the demo except for cutscenes.

[twoapenny]

I have a feeling i should be doing something... i mean everyone else is throwing around gravestones, sig worms, dying animations etc... :rolleyes:

[Plasma]

These people don't know how long it takes to make a game though.
Actually, I don't know how long it will take either.

[twoapenny]

Meaning?....

[Wiglworm]

Meaning?....
Hmmm...
These people don't know how long it takes to make a game though.
Actually, I don't know how long it will take either.
That was pretty self-explanatory.

[Hot Gravy]

And did you consider making your own topic for your pixel art?

*Looks towards own user profile and sees "Being Watched"*

[UnKnown X]

There's a reason for that...

[agent luke]

i have a question about the demo. will everyone who asked to be in the game be in the demo?

[Hot Gravy]

i have a question about the demo. will everyone who asked to be in the game be in the demo?

Nope! Only ten!

[agent luke]

okay ten people....witch people are they?:-/

[Plasma]

1: 2p, it means that they're throwing around loads of stuff when there's plenty of time. Or they just don't want to forget about it when the time comes.
2: There will be ten characters, but they won't be people. I decided not to use people in the demo to make it fair as not everyone would be in the demo.

[Reder8]

Who are the ten characters?

[BuffaloKid]

Smart. Don't want loads of people like 'Where am I?' or 'Why's Bk in there and not me?' or 'I'm gonna kill you!'

[Plasma]

I could tell you what the ten characters are, butI'll let you wait.

[BuffaloKid]

Is one of them german and one of them red?

[Plasma]

Why did you think that?

[BuffaloKid]

Is it right?

[Plasma]

Yes and no.
I'll need to know why you thought that to answer the question fully.
And no more guessing. It's spamming up the works.

[BuffaloKid]

You want to know why? Psychoanalasis. That's why. I'm guessing you man yes and no on german, so it's someone german but the sig isn't (eg. Darth Darky (who it isn't)) or vice versa.

[Plasma]

That's obviously wrong. I said that worms in the demo won't be people, just characters.

[BuffaloKid]

I thought of that just before you wrote it. It means yes and no to red, so possibly covered in blood (In latin they use the same word for red as blood (but french is stupider, where avacado=lawyer))

[Rarsonic]

And in all romanic languages, buffalo...
