OH: And it will contain NG medals.
I just kinda woke up and I said to myself "hey, why not finish that cool fish game I started six months ago?"
So I guess I'm kinda back. And I'm setting a goal to make 60 levels on the Fish game (Little Yellow Fishie).
So what I need now is LEVEL IDEAS! I basically want ideas based on the normal gameplay, which is a "side-scrolling avoid/dodge game" where you're the yellow fish and you dodge the blue fishies coming from the right, like in the picture.
HIT ME!
mutant fish :D
Wøt.
Maybe as you move through the levels, you are faced with new fish with different methods to slay thee. Like perhaps one that circles around the level and is unpredictable, or maybe a swordfish that moves incredibly fast. Jellyfish that wade up and down the water perhaps that come in swarms.
Also for level designs, you could end up in the bottom of the ocean where its much darker, and there are geysers that spew ash and lava. Football fish could be passing through with the lights over their heads that provide your only light source.
I tried.
My advice is to look up different fish and see all the tacky things they can do, that provides good ideas.
Lol thanks!
Yeah I've actually jotted down the deep dark one already, and a fast with was noted as well. :) But swordfish and football fish sounds fresh...
Scuba diving sushi chef ninjas. If you dodge them they commit seppuku.
A Disney underwater musical interlude.
A swarm of jelly fish with a single clownfish and a single surgeonfish somewhere in the middle.
Sunken city of Rapture
Firecracker fish that explodes into a few smaller fish
Lol thanks, noted :)
It's hard to think of levels if you don't really know what the game really is about. And it'll be hard to keep the player interested for 60 levels, when the game really only has those features you mentioned.
Haha yeah, I think I forgot to tell, but the plot is basically that the yellow fish is searching for his family. He swims through the pacific.
And yeah, all levels will certainly not be about dodging, I'll be adding new features and gameplay tweaks. Just adding more/new/faster/different fishes is boring.
:)
You can't dodge fish for 60 levels, that's crazy.
Well few levels will be about dodging fish.
Big Bob is hot :D
Put him in the game :D
Lol of course! He's in level 2.
how about some sort of bonus level(s) where you get some sort of invinciblity powerup and you have to kill a certain amount of blue fish? kinda like pac-man's powerpills?
and maybe boats that if you come to close to them they suck you into the rudders and you die or something?
Heh, paybe a pacman level...
make a level where youre swimmin in toxic waste and all the fishes are like mutated n shite
woah, noted.
When I was making a fish game (I'm not anymore) I asked this same question to a message board. My good friend Shark suggested this to me:
"Make a water level."
Lolipops.
I will make a water level.
Okay how about this... You can hit the space bar, and your fish will turn around and fire out a M3G4 P155 L4Z0R
:O:O:O
Well he will have a gun at times. Close enough I guess.
Final Level idea: Oil spills into the water wiping out all life in the water. Fish must dodge ever growing oilslick to survive, while also dodging the other fish as well.
Maybe add a squid level, where the of course, you have to avoid them as well, but they also shoot ink, hindering your movement temporarily.
make them blow toxic bubbles
Lol what's with all the toxic stuff? Thanks.
and make a lot of different varietys of fish
B) Will do.
A good start would be to make red fish that go faster as a variety.
Yesh, thought of that. :)
how bout... a boss
There will be, yes.
how about a mode where your fish and/or the enemy fish gradually get bigger as you dodge more
Lol, reminds me of fishy...
I wanna try and make this to more of an action game, lol.
Mutant fish grow on their xScale and yScale rapidly.
HEAVY. Yeah that'd be cool.
Think I have to mix some of this ideas.
WELL OF COURSE HE IS :D
does the (?) make a random event or something?
dont forget a squid which inks on the screen and blocks you from seeing things :D
Random event? Whattt.
:D Okay.
