Idea: I want to make something else in Flash, using Geneforge graphics and in the same world as the other Geneforge stories. A lot more in-depth, though, than WtA. Not necessarily canon, and definitely not a part of the main storyline of Geneforge. In fact, I haven't considered a plot yet at all. I'm open to ideas. Furthermore, it deviates entirely from the play style of other Spiderweb games. It's an isometric action game. You'll play a Shaper, primarily, running around, shooting fire, and trying to keep from being eaten. - Progress:February 9: I picked apart some of the Shaper graphics I need to make a player character, and gave him the gift of walking around at the whim of the arrow keys. For now, I'm just trying to get a play engine down. [*]February 17: Retrieved graphics for spell casting. Playable version available soon. [*]February 25: v.0.1. Goodness gracious, great balls of fire. Gave player ability to shoot fireballs. Also randomized tile choice. Play it here.Minigame:Everyone remember Whack-the-Artila? I'll probably go to hell for posting it this many times, but there you have it. The current high scorer is Jeran Korak, with 177. - Disclaimer:[print=fine]Of course, there are the issues of using Spiderweb Software's original concept of Geneforge, and of using the official graphics without explicit permission from Spiderweb Software. Let it be made very clear, here, that I have no intent to profit from this project - if anything, I hope it brings the upcoming Geneforge finale more publicity! Still should Spiderweb tell me that I'm a grubby sprite thief, I'll accept that and cease the project altogether.[/print] - Oh, and...Please note that viewing SWF's in-browser, especially from imageshack where I post them, noticeably slows frame rate. Don't worry - they're just for previewing. Complete releases will be downloadable (and probably oversized) EXE's.

Updated. v.0.1 released: play it here. Nothing to it really - you can walk around and you can shoot fireballs in eight directions. Novel ideas would be appreciated. Story, goal, enemies, spells; I can implement most anything given enough time. I don't even have a working title for now, so fill the suggestion box!

I notice that you can walk into the blackness and off the screen. The tiles make Dikiyoba think "school", so maybe journeymen Shapers hazing the new apprentice? -------------------- Episode 4: Spiderweb Reloaded Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

Collect canisters throughout the game to increase your own power and gain new spells? Prehaps even summon a few lesser automated creations to fight on your side? -------------------- Death, chaos, destruction, my work here is just begining... Posts: 942 | Registered: Sunday, October 8 2006 07:00 |

How about a lockdown? It was mentioned in an abandoned Shaping Hall in GF1 that, should a creation problem get out of control, the Shaping Halls and schools are built so that they can be locked down until someone experienced can come and clean up the mess. So how about this: A large shaping hall is locked down when rogues and the like suddenly start flooding the place. The people get out, and you are a shaper assigned to clean up the problem. Along the way, you discover that someone was secretly experimenting with smart, humanoid spawners like the ones encountered in GF3. One of the spawners was a success, and is now creating bigger and nastier creations to defend itself. As such, the only way to stop the rogues is to kill the spawner. So you have to proceed through the levels of this shaping hall, each one getting progressively tougher, to kill the rogue spawner. -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

I successfully implemented walls and updated a lot of the isometric math, but now I ran into a problem that totally destroys the last 6 hours I spent on this bloody thing. I'm still working on it, but don't expect a new version anytime soon (as if everyone were on the edge of their seats). -------------------- "Write a wise saying and your name will live forever." - Anonymous Posts: 284 | Registered: Tuesday, January 31 2006 08:00 |

I suggest that, when completed, you should give this game to JV. Depending on the quality, it could either be a fun little arcade game for an intro to Geneforge tactics, or SubTerra for Spidweb. Good luck anyways. -------------------- "I'm happy I'm the mentally disturbed person I am." -Nioca "Yes, Iffy is a demon." -Iffy Posts: 1186 | Registered: Friday, June 18 2004 07:00 |
