I'm startng a new game and decided I'd throw it out to you, because you are the only people who'll give me an honest response.
My new game is based around Santa Clause. But now he isnt the nice guy we've all grown up with. This year he realized for the amount of work he does he's getting ripped off with only cookies and milk. So he begins to train his elves to fight and starts creating robots and other evil minions. So from his space station somewhere near the moon (his elves can build toys why not space stations?) he plots his attack on humanity.
So what do you guys think? I'll tell you more after I get further into the game.
-
I give it a 9/10! Sounds funny! Is it a comedy or is it a serious game? BTW, I was joking about that other score...
-
May I ask why? I just want to know what sucks so bad about it?
-
Well I got around to making a title screen. Here it is
-
It's not that the idea sucks, it's the fact that in every single post you've made(well, minus the two above which are really follow ups) you start out by "Well, I know you people don't like me, I expect you hate me, but blah blah blah because you hate me so much, but blah blah blah and since I'm so hated, blah blah blah" with the blah blah blah usually being some pointless rant to make yourself look smart.
On a lighter note, do you play as Santa or against Santa?
-
I like the idea. But its one of those ideas that could turn out really good or crash and burn. Be careful.
On a lighter note, I don't even know you, so I dont hate you, if that provides any comfort.
-
Nice story, pretty original, I liked the title.
One more thing: I dont hate you, I never heard of ya before!
-
i like the idea but it'll probubly go rong if your not carful and i like the title and ARE YOU SANTA OR GOOD
also i dont even kniow you so i cant hate you
SEE NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE HATE YOU
-
lol, id play the game, and yeah, lil more info on whether you good dude, or bad Santa.
And yes, who hates you, so random flamer on the forums? or did you just take a comment the wrong way, either way, let it go. if it happens again, make another account and start over ;)
-
Ok then since everybody is asking me I shall tell you who you get to play as. You get to play as santa and against him. You get to choose what side of the story you want to play in. Just choose the "Take down santa mode." or the "Play as santa mode" on the menu that it brings up.
I'll try to make it turn out as good as possible. If I run into any problems I'll post them here and hope you guys will help me. Alright well I'm going back to work on the game.
Oh and at the moment I'm having trouble getting screen shots. Please tell me how so i can show some progress.
-
Well, I don't know you, so I can't hate you. But anyway, the game looks like it'll be pretty funny. Post some screenshots as soon as you can and keep the game goin. BTW: Just curious, did you by any chance get this idea by listening to the song by Weird Al Yankovich? Umm...I think it's called "The Night Santa Went Crazy" or something. Just wondering.
-
It's a cool idea, i'd love to play. I'd actually like to see a christmas game based on the christmas according to the cybernetic ghost of christmas past form the future. You know, "Thousands of years ago, before the dawn the dawn of man as we know it..."
-
Well now that I've started the game, I'm getting tired of having to write down all the dialogue. so I figured, why not hook up a microphone and record some of the things. Now if its a long speech I'll just speak it and you can all hear my charming voice. or if this idea sucks or I get bored with it I'll go back to writing everything. who knows? Any comments?

That's not really a good idea. Wav files tend to take up a massive amount of space. Maybe a few voices here and there... but not much...
-
Also, even if you do just record your voice for the talking, people still might like to read what you're saying. 1) They might not know what you're saying. 2) Umm....well...they might just want to have some dialog. I know I like to. So, sorry, but it would probably be best if you took time and typed still. I'm one of the people who likes to read the texts. :p

To get screenshots of your game, you press the button thats say Prtscrn at the top right of the keyboard. This will make a copy of the whole screen. Then go to paint and paste it. Cut out the part you want(the screen of the game) and paste that in a blank paint window thing. Save that and attach to a post. Voila! You got some screens of your game.(Sorry if this is confusing)
-
Thanks snake eater. well Heres a screenshot right before you throw the first lazy elf into the vacuum of space and watch him explode in a frenzy of elf guts.
-
I luv the idea of making a game about santa getting Pissed!
-
Oh yeah, I'll most indubidibly play this one! 10/10 :D
-
I think the idea is at least a 10/10
But i was thinking maybe you could make some sort of mode that you play with both forces. In a few games (im sure everyone has played one like this) you play as a good guy for a while, and then a bad guy or vice versa. Its ok if you dont really want to do it because it would make making the game even longer than im sure it will already take but hey maybe it will get a few people to go: "hey, that was pretty cool" Anyway im sure it will be great from seeing your previous games. Then again my opinion isn't too great because my best games were the street cred series. Then again those were pretty decent....Anyway way to go!

ok I need a characterset with santa in his sleigh. one colored in and all, and another where it would be black against the moon, if you could do this for me I'd be much obliged, Dhanka
