soulja pig 2: soulja pigger

billy · March 11, 2009 12:15 AM

Hey so i decided the world needs another soulja pig and i decided i am not competant to do it all myself, so here's my idea: a game collab. I know what you're thinking, "you must be out of your mind" but it's not that crazy.

I'll be doing all the programming. soulja pig 2: soulja pigger will play like contra except more bodacious

I need one or more people to do soulja pig, enemies, and bullets/weapons.

If you want to make an enemy or weapon, draw a picture of them. Enemies can have a projectile attack. If you don't know what you want the enemy to be, ask me.

I will design 5 (or more if more than 6 people want to participate) levels out of black boxes on white background. At this point, the game part of the game will be complete, although it will look like shit. Each person participating in the collab will draw over the levels I've created, making it all look beautiful. Each level will have 3 scrolling layers to simulate depth. One in the very back that does not move at all, for things like the sky/stars and sun/moon, one that moves a bit in the background when the player moves, and one that the player actually walks on and interacts with. If you don't understand, I can explain it through example, but right now that's not important.

Finally, when that's done, the levels can either be strung together with a storyline and cut scenes or we can just submit the game. This collab should not take a very long time, so please, sign up. If you want to design soulja pig/the enemies, provide some art to really seal the deal. standing still and walking animations would really seal the deal. The music will all be from this thread but if you want to do something specifically for this game, by all means, just make it.

720x480 + 30fps

no content that wouldn't easily pass with an R by the mpaa (no sex, no racism/discrimination, violence is fine; if this is a deal breaker, eat a dick)

i could do a level and maybe a weapon

you should lay down some basic style guidelines so it doesn't turn into a clusterfuck of line styles and colors though

I will do anything you want me to for this game. I'm not a good artist, but I'm willing to take as much time as needed to do this. The first Soulja Pig was such an amazing game, a squeal would be great. Did I say squeal? I meant sequel.

unclephil · March 11, 2009 03:06 AM

hell yes count me in.

Crabarms · March 11, 2009 03:16 AM

I would like to help.

tmk · March 11, 2009 03:25 AM

I'm gonna try and put out some character designs tomorrow

if that doesn't work out, designing a level sound pretty kewl

Daveb0t · March 11, 2009 05:37 AM

and there should be a drive-by level

Daveb0t · March 11, 2009 05:51 AM

i dunno man

anigen · March 11, 2009 07:09 PM

i wanna do an enemy

rtil · March 11, 2009 07:32 PM

i'll still participate if there are no guidelines, but you might find yourself regretting that later haha

billy · March 11, 2009 08:06 PM

I definitely might, but the main character should be finished before the levels are started, so I'm hoping the level artists will have the good sense to make their level look good with the soulja pig's style. I don't really mind if the levels have different styles, as long as they look good with the sprites on top of them.

you should make a art

tmk · March 12, 2009 03:38 AM

before I animate any walking cycles or w/e I just wanna make sure this is sort of what you're looking for.

top one is more realistic muscular structure; bottom one is more cartoony and fun for the whole family
I can change anything

I love it. I like the bottom one's structure better, but the top one's clothes. The bottom one's clothes look a little nerdy to me.
