inspired by the can't think of a good name for your game thread~

 

i'm working on this game because i loved the mockup i did (plus i'm taking a break from coffee mafia for a while)

 

 

it's gonna be a relatively open world game, but the idea is to escape the city without getting caught (the cops are after you)

 

tentative ideas include:

 

your "cop" meter (see GTA games) will never decrease (or at least be difficult to) and already be at level 1 when you start. it will (probably) steadily increase as you make your way out.

 

guns wont be easy to get, i dont want this to be about shooting people. they will definitely be in the game though, as a special reward for Being Cool or something. probably have just 1 clip in and then they are useless or something

 

there will be cars and cars will be awesome i hope

 

 

 

anyways its still pretty early so i'm not gonna make any promises about how it'll turn out but imma try and make it fun

What do you use to develop these games? Just flash? Or something that compiles into flash?

[EvilDemonCreature]

Judging by the debug bar in that first demo, I would say that he is using flashpunk.

[ATARI]

jk guys you've been flash p'unked

[JMickle]

yeah afura i use flashdevelop (its freeee) and flashpunk because why recode an engine everytime heh

I dig

I think the engine / setting shows promise! But somethings's bothering me about the smoothness of the scrolling, I wonder if that's just because I ran it in a browser?

It's something that almost always bothers me with Flash though, even in Air / Projectors with my stuff. So probably nothing to worry about really... Unless there really is something funny going on with the frame timing code?

Also I really like the idea of a 'GTA-like' where you don't have to use combat much, if at all, and if that's what you're going for, I think that's really interesting.
