| Has this been done before? If not, then it ought to be something good and fresh to try. --- Kyle, the young mage of force and gravity, was wandering along a vast beach. He was searching for the Sim Battle arena, but was presently lost. He was not in a rush, though. There was time to spare, time to enjoy the late afternoon veiw. Two silver discs floated behind him as he picked his way through the sand and driftwood, each quivering steadily. These weapons belonged to him; he used his powers to levitate them. Should the need for cutlery arrise, the discs would each produce four spinning blades and home in on any hostile form in the area. But why should there come such a need? Not now, not at a time like this, Kyle told himself silently, and was glad of the peace that the excuse of being lost gave him. Here he turned to look at the water and the sun beginning its decent toward it. The water hardly seemed to move, though it was an ocean... Actually, that was quite odd; there was a distinct lack of waves. Kyle glanced around confusedly. Maybe it was actually a lake, and he was more lost than he thought...then, looking away from the water, he found a sign up the hill. It indicated that a town was 5 miles away. No, it was the precise town he was looking for. Still slightly concerned, Kyle tried to push the anomoly out of his mind. He would be well on his way in minutes. He would just take one last glance at... Suddenly, there was a large stir in the water. Something big...something long...many of them, were moving toward the surface! Quickly, Kyle drew his katana from his sheath, and the discs at the side of him opened up and moved closer to him. Whatever it was, he had to be ready... There was a loud splash! A gigantic tentacle, at the very least 50 feet long, had sprung from the once crystalline water and wrapped firmly around a large beach rock. Immediately, one, two, three more sprang out and found a good solid structure to latch themselves onto. Backing away in pure terror, Kyle tripped over a log and fell onto his back. He wasted no time in floating back up to stance. Yes, the situation called for flight. But in what way? Should he run and forget about this beast? He did not yet know its motive. It could be friendly...but of course it wasn't. That was wishful thinking. Before Kyle could correctly arrange his thoughts, an enormous, bulbous head was produced from raging tides. Four more terrible arms reached out to anchor the head onto the beach. After settling itself, the octopus creature peered far into the distance. From its height, it could certainly see the city in the distance...and it did. Immediately after the monster had sized up the city, it began crawling along toward it. There was no longer any doubt that the beast had murderous intentions. He no longer had any choice. This is where his training would pay off! It may look terrifying, but in battle things could be different! Before he knew what he was doing, Kyle had sent out his blades to attack the nearest tentacle, the one anchored to the rock. Knowing this would, er, alarm the octopus, Kyle quickly drew his blades back and circled them around him at an incredible speed. When the octopus would reach for him, the tip of its tentacle would be sliced off. The monster drew itself around and eyed Kyle. Deeming him not threatening, the octopus effortlessly squirted a powerful jet of water at Kyle. Kyle was thrown back into the sand. When he was down, the octopus made to smite him with its mighty tentacle, but Kyle glided out of the way, pulled back his katana, and swung it at the arm, taking off a good chunk. He then flew around to the head, circled it, and sent his saws to attack the eyes of the beast. The octopus attempted to swat away the saws, but only cut itself in the process, and instead focused on Kyle. It caught him after a few swings of another tentacle. Kyle was locked firmly in the beast's grip. His saws spun madly at the tentacle which bound him, but they were silenced with another squirt of water. Then, as he was being lower into the mouth of the octopus, Kyle casted a powerful gravity spell on the tentacle holding him. The octopus did not expect this, and was easily caught off guard; the arm quickly fell to the ground, and Kyle took off flying as fast as he could, away from the beast. Kyle:There's no way I or anyone could ever take on this monstrosity alone! Then his mind fell on the distress beacon he conveneintly had with him. Without hesitation, he pulled it from his pocket and set it off. A huge, green beam of light shot out to the sky, signaling for help from anyone. It would take the help of many people, and teamwork, to defeat this massive foe. ---- OOC: Whoo! How's that for a first post in this forum! Sorry if there are many typos, I wrote this from 3-4 AM. C'mon, join in now! (edited by CheesePie on 03-12-05 06:53 AM) |

Uhm...alot of the time I don't even know what I'm looking at  I like the overworl, but the levels look like they were patched together without care. And yes, it is kind of cluttered. Tell me this: is it fun, though? Also, outside the hot springs - half of that platform is missing. wth? |

| Heheheh. Very cool. Ninji. So neat. The only problems I noticed were like little pixels missing in the graphics here and there. Stuff that will be cleaned up over time. Which means: This hack is great! | |||

| How do you add new blocks to the list of blocks you can use in block tool? I got a bunch that were shown here: http://board.acmlm.org/thread.php?id=9520 , they're in the same folder as Blktool.exe, but I don't know how to get it to open one of the new blocks. EDIT: Okay, I found a really unorthadox way to handle this, but still I'd rather have some help. Thx. (edited by CheesePie on 03-15-05 09:08 PM) |

| ...Dammit, I'm going with Pheonix on this one, just because I've felt the same exact thing. You people see a few screenshots, and you're all like *wow* *Aweseome* *I can't wait!!!*, but you don't even know what it's like! I posted my hack like 2 weeks ago or something, and it got LITTLE OR NO REPLIES. 10 I think, almost half by me. Someone said the graphics weren't good enough. THAT WAS ABOUT IT. But now---YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT GRAPHICS?!?! WHAA-?! Are these excellent comments solely based upon Schwa's reputation?! I very much agree with Glyph. I would like to know what makes someone not give a damn about one hack and salivate over the other. He put his heart and soul into this, you might say? Well so did I! (into mine) So don't counter with that kind of thing! What IS it with you guys?! Fumes angrily Sorry Schwa, I actually do like you, you're cool, it's only bad luck that your hack had to be an example. It could have been any other hack, actually. I wasn't going against YOU, I was going against the agrivating irony and unfair...ness of EVERYONE ELSE. So there, I'm sticking up for Glyph. He's the only one here who thought with a mind of his own. In fact, I wouldn't be too surprised if half of the people who posted: "This hack looks great!" only did so to boost their post count or fit in. He was kind of harsh, but dangit, do you just expect everyone else to go along and say you're doing great? He was entitled to his opinion, as am I. (edited by CheesePie on 03-16-05 01:56 PM) |

Originally posted by Schwa Buh - really? How did you get that idea? I'm - I'm completely surprised. I didn't really care about graphics in my hack. I just did what I could to get by, and I wouldn't consider myself that good at graphics editing. I don't have a problem with ExGFX or no ExGFX; either way is fine for me, and I totally agree that level design is what matters. Again, I'm not really directing this at you, Schwa, but everyone else who gave a reveiw. I was just sticking up for someone who spoke their mind with justified anger, and I'm just kinda peeved at what the crowd threw at me (nothing). Judging things, no matter what I say I'm going to come out being hated more because I seem to be misinterpreted left and right. Therefore I will shut up. |

Originally posted by Schwa Yeah, I was thinking about waiting a week or a little less for people to join. I guess that could have been time better spent Originally posted by Schwa ...If I had seen more topics with demos (not discontinued ones) that got as few replies as mine did, I'd have kept quiet. Because it would have been normal. Only mine was an exception. I think I had a reson to be peeved. But I've cooled off now; I know that when my final version is out, it'll blow everyone away. BUT ENOUGH OF THIS! This topic is about your game. I didn't want to take things this far. |

| Alright...I guess its just Kyle and Schwa VS. the Oceanlord Demon Spawn. --- Pleased to hear help is on the way, Kyle changes his plan of attack. The demon seemed to have forgotten of his existance, so Kyle flew around behind it and focused on a large beach rock of about 15 feet in diameter. By distorting the gravity around it, he lifted the rock slowly above the octopus's head and let it fall. A greenish ooze squirted everywhere, but in a matter of seconds the wound closed up! The monster swiftly shuffled around to face Kyle again. It picked up the rock with one of its tentacles and launched it at Kyle, which he narrowly dodged. Kyle floated up to eye level of the Oceanlord and sent one of his blades to pester it, the other circling Kyle for defence. It was working! The monster was being distracted! It angrily swatted at the saw, but it still just cut itself in the process. Kyle charged up and began firing force projectiles at the Oceanlord, which hit it like heavy clubs. Knowing no melee attack would get to Kyle uncountered, the Oceanlord gave a demonstration of its mastery over the sea. The water on the beach retracted. Then, a gigantic wall of water made its way to the battle scene. Kyle brought back his weapons and flew as high as he could, but found himself again in the grasp of the Oceanlord. He was to be anchored down until smashed by the wave! His saws again hacked at the tentacle. They were cutting through, but two more tentacles came to hold him down. He was overpowered! Kyle dropped both of his blades to focus on the wave. As it came at him, he held his hands out, to push all of the water around him. This lasted for about a second, and Kyle was hit by the water. The tentacles still grasped him, so he was spared from being tossed around by the wave. After the water returned to normal, the Oceanlord lobbed Kyle into the sea. Kyle was still alive, but only just. He felt around his pockets for a healing potion, took a swig, and went back at the Oceanlord again. By now it had moved to the middle of the hill that seperated the beach from the plain... (edited by CheesePie on 03-18-05 07:22 PM) |

| ...You didn't really change much here, did you? But about those that you did change: I like both of the overworld. I think they are very nicely done. Iggy's road again needs work. The new style ground looks just fine; it's simple and subtle. Good for a normal tileset. Mario's house is very, very cool. When you beat a level, some other music starts. Was this intentional? If it is, I might advise against it. Other than that, I'd like to see some levels... Overall, you done good. |

| DAAAAAAGH!!! TERROR! BLAAARRRGH!!! Please, man, learn the concepts of Mario's jumping ability and NOT PLACING SO MANY SPRITES IN ONE LITTLE AREA!!! And also, what is up with the lack of powerups? Is it against your religion to add powerups? I couldn't find any! And if I did, it was swiped away the moment I got it by 200,000 bob-ombs simultaneously! *Ehem* On a more professional note, your hack needs work. You must learn that it's good to start off a hack a little slow and easy. Also, you need to put more powerups in the levels, and make them obvious. Don't hide them amongst the 100 other coin blocks in the game. Plus, you have alot of blind jumps, and in many cases I found myself being killed by enemies that just fell from an area off-screen, such as in the Burnt Cliffs. What did I like about this game? Even though you can't beat that one lake level, some of the formations you made with the saws and things were neat. The intro being a playable level was neat, too; though it was annoying to have the only music be the intro chime thingy. Overall - why don't you try making incredibly easy levels; through you, they should come out at the correct difficulty  (edited by CheesePie on 03-21-05 07:58 PM) |

124. DON'T MULTI-TASK!!! If you are working on several BIG projects all at once, it is almost a death sentance to them. Work on one thing at a time. Stay focused on what you are working on, and don't be distracted from it. If you drop it to try something else, even for a little bit, you may never return to the first thing again!  It's happened to me many times before.125. Put your heart into the game! Care about it! If you really try, and you like your game, and you WANT to make it good, then you shouldn't have that much trouble. 126. Are your hand-drawn ExGFX kind of bland? (Supposing you're not a ripper...you aren't, right? GRR!!!) You might be surprised at what adding small little dots and patterns to foregrounds and backgrounds will do. REALLY. |

| Hm. I'll answer your call. My character I'ma use is in another battle right now...but I think I could use him here because it doesn't look like that thread will last long . --- William turns to see the figure of Kyle, master of gravity approaching him (See the last page of the profile thread for more info). At his sides float two metallic discs, which he appears to be controlling. He also weilds a katana, which is in its sheath on his back. Kyle: Uh, hey. What's what's with the sword? I was just...having a look around. Kyle briefly scans the area with his eyes Kyle: Um, does this place belong to you? It looks pretty gloomy in here...so who are you exactly? The floating discs at Kyle's sides start hovering a little more ridgedly. Kyle is preparing to defend himself, if the need be. |
