Beta/Alpha testers/game designers.

[bettymorlock]

Hey guys,

I know it's been a While, but I thought I would throw this up here and see how it would do and to see if anyone was interested in helping me out. Me, my hubby, and My good friend thepopeisgod are developing a new java based game. We may even put it out for android and/or the iphone as well. It is an old school top down rpg.

Here is a link to My Alpha 1.4.5 version of the game.
http://thepopeisgod.com/
If the game takes forever to load its because the music was written using midi and an 8bit conversion software. the output files are rather big. srry

Tell me what you guys think.
Any buggs you see..
Any improvements needed?

BUGS:

*need to figure out collision bugs. Actor to actor collision is completely broken. (temp fix with invisible collision floor tiles.) [betty] [wip]

*walking off the map just after a scene change [bewpy][adding delay]{fixed}

*Random invisible collisions with floor. [just shadow] [ongoing issue but easy to fix.]

WIP:

Make new character models

Make new names for characters.



Get settles with one story line that we can agree on.

Rename game

Think of town/land/city/region/area names

Fix sword graphic glitches when moving and stopping in mid swing.

*Set up website for upload so we can share work.

Betty,

I would love to help out anyway I can. I am currently 3/4 of the way through my Bachelors in Application Development. I have beginner to intermediate knowledge in Java programming. So I can help out with any coding you need or even any testing of the code. Really I am up for anything.

 

[Pirapple]

Bette, great to see you.

It would be an honor to test out your game is that ok?

 

[Itzzaboy]

I'd be honoured to help with this in any way I can. My coding is pretty much non existant but I've been told i'm pretty good at story and character writing. Either way i'd love to help test your game.

 

[TheCastellan]

Well considering i would like to enter the games industry anyway, i would be happy to help test

Sweet guys, Well like I posted above the game currently as it stands has been uploaded to our website.
http://thepopeisgod.com/

If you want to help with the actual development of the game you can pm me your email and I will send you the stencyl folder so you can hop in start. you will have to get stencyl ( The engine we are using)( http://www.stencyl.com/stencyl/get/ ) and probably want to get on ts with me or my main partner kc. That way we can give you a heads up on what ideas we have so far and maybe talk a bit about ideas and things.

You can post any buggs and or ideas here as well I get updates on my phone so I will try and respond as quickly as possible. I may work on our site a bit to make this a bit easier to keep together.

Thank you guys and I look forward to working with you guys.
~betty

ps. controls are:
arrow keys to move
wasd to attack (out side of town)
x to talk to NPC's

Sweet I need help in that field the most. Any programming knowledge is very helpful. I must tell you that This is actually not being written in java, but flash/html 5. My original idea was to write this in java, but after finding out that everyone on my team sucks at java I chose flash and later stencyl.

Java is similar enough for you to help though and I would love to see what you have to say about some of the things I have so far.

 

[bewpy]

a bug i found was that going in and out of your house too quickly will make your character dissapear
also happens with any place you can enter/leave

 

[JustShadow]

but flash/html 5. My original idea was to write this in java, but after finding out that everyone on my team sucks at java I chose flash and later stencyl.

Flash? As in, with actionscript?
Also, there's some sort of invisible object in the player's house (I assume it to be that, anyway), which stops you from moving in that direction. It's around the middle.

 

[Karasu1996]

:O I hear "The World" by Nightmare!!!! Good job betty

 

[Karasu1996]

Hm...I would gladly help with the Storyline Betty, Im going to be learning Java in September (when school starts) as a class so I can help with that then

 

[bettymorlock]

hmmn maybe Ill set a delay before you can more when it changes scenes. ty

haha ya that was actually the result of temp fixing the other bug. it is an invisible collision tile. If you look at the other house with the girl in it and compare it to your house it on the same tile she is standing on. Thats because I basicly just copy and pasted it and then moved things around. ty though.

 

[roopot]

nice and its all under creative commons ty.

also if you are getting any error when you are testing or exporting a game. it is most likely the music. stencyl is very particular about there music. I suggest audacity with Lame to edit the music files. If you need I can walk you through it.
