so me and some people are working on a game so here i'm going to post screenshots so you can see progress and go "wow, i saw this go from a shitty collection of boxes to a game that looks like a shitty first gen ps1 game!"
zekey did the textures found in these screens, lenko claims to be almost done with the sprites and i believe him!
after spending several billion hours i got it looking like this:

but there's no shading on those blocks, so i have to add normals to them, i'll just add the normal data and...

fuck!
spent a trillion years and finally fixed the normals:

added some ramps and changed the ambient light level a bit, and this is how it looks now:

wow you didnt show me da version with the ramps. looks v. nic
get bent
^ fuck off
^ get bent
^ i know u are, u said u are, but what am i
^ how those sprites comin
wait, what are you developing this in
C# with XNA because my budget is $0.
new proclamation: i will only finish the sprites if king dedede is a playable character
use my music
By 'shitty first gen ps1 game' you mean Tombi(/a) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEnpzVJcKek)?
I miss that game
Quote from: BillyC# with XNA because my budget is $0.
some people might get snippity because C# isn't as fast as C++, but i'm not going to be using a billion polygons or a bunch of complex pixel shaders, so it's going to be easy to keep the frame rate at a solid 60fps. XNA makes it possible to cross develop for that terrible xbox live indie games channel full of horrible games.
Ramps up the ass, I've got all shapes and sizes of ramps and platforms now, so the terrain will look less blocky and gridlike.

added a missing texture and resampled all the textures for 720p:

i wish i knew what you were doing so i could suggest something, cause that looks mighty boss, good sir!!
looks like a blockbuster 2 me!!

Ok I added some more stuff such as animated grass and stalactites:

I am not sure if it looks better with or without the animated grass, and pictures don't express the animation, so here is the exe:
http://www.rocketslap.com/radish.zip (http://www.rocketslap.com/radish.zip)
Zekey says this doesn't fucking work, but you might have to have the newest version of .net or something. IT WORKS FINE ON MY COMPUTER
if u like it better with the grass, text 1 on your verizon cell phone
if you like it better without the grass, text 2 on your verizon cell phone
It gives you an error saying it's missing files, but once you hit ok, it works fine.
the grass is nice i like it
looks good to me

zekey made sign sprites, this is one of them:

(5:38:05 AM) Fololo 311: i think it might be a good idea
(5:38:10 AM) Fololo 311: to use the one made of vines
(5:38:14 AM) Fololo 311: in this grassy area
(5:38:27 AM) Fololo 311: just cause of
(5:38:29 AM) Fololo 311: da color scheme
also i made the signs bigger because bigger is better, like my dick!! LOL!
left sign is the old size of signs.

hd edition. i fixed a bunch of glitches and redid the lighting engine, so light bounces off of objects differently. I need to change the lights, however.

Progress slowed while I worked on some technical stuff. Things should be progressing a lot faster now that I'm getting college credit for it. I'll just leave this here.

ps: do ho ho
wow holy SHIT lenko
talk about super boner
super boner indeed
lookin good
it looks really good but it also looks really bad
I've been working on the tools for the game. I'm trying to make them really easy to pick up and use so the game will be really easy for anyone to make their own levels. I hope you rike it.
sick
looks like its coming along nicely.

Billy I had no idea what you meant about tools 'til I read this
Level editing sounds amazing and Lenko's awesome, I feel like I'm behind now
game is looking great! Cant wait to try this one out :}
Just spent the better half of 8 hours getting the physics engine working. It looks good in motion but I can't really show it off right now.

neat!
my dick is super hard right now it hurts
contrary to fraps and youtube, it actually runs at 60fps rather than 4fps
I've never been so excited to see a few blocks falling!!!

i should have waited until a full level was done before recording a video.

Still working on it. Playable demo in December. You'll all get a copy but if you send it to a friend and they leak it to the internet I'LL KNOW IT WAS YOU

im sorry billy ive been much meaner than usual lately because i am the huge nerd
my dreams were recently crushed by school faculty who want me to do a bunch of egghead computer science research shit for the project so the demo might not be done in december however fuck my life
however i have full commitment to the project despite that when it is finished it will sell 0 copies and be a terrible resume piece
I will purchase a copy of your game for $1. You can then advertise that it has sold more than 0 copies.
with no copies sold we can be indie as FUCK
yea nevermind the whole not meeting the december target thing
Whoo!
Did you tell dem suckas off
By the way everything moves and animates now. It's beautiful but you can't see until January.
Can't waaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiitttt~!
You're killing me here Billy... Killing me.
fuzz you have this strange habit of asking for progress from people that are probably busy doing other shit and then doing pretty much nothing else ever
.... what?
Mmmm I think it's good that there are people asking about the progress of things
For me it usually pushes me to get things done
i like when people express their excitement, it helps me stay motivated

I know what you're thinking: that 2nd image looks pretty good, why don't you just use that? the answer is because the top image runs at 200fps and the bottom one runs at 10fps

oh well ok
this is looking rather delicious oh yes
mmmm cavey
just a little butthurt textwall update because some people have expressed that they think i am pissing my time away:
first of all-- say that to my face not online and see what happens fucker
secondly, i am constantly and consistently working on wonder knight radish. nearly every day for the past several months i have put in between 3 and 12 hours of solid work. it is incredibly time-consuming to build a game from scratch. this is on top of being a full time student. not that any of this is anyone else's problem or responsibility, but just giving those pondering a bit of insight.
a friends and family demo will be released some time between may 28 and june 1, but most likely may 28. i have vowed to myself to not shave until the demo is completed, and i aim to be true to my word. my beard and 'stache are already quite long so this is a pretty big deal. the demo will contain roughly the first 15 minutes of the game. enough to "get it." due to forces beyond my control, the demo might not have all of the final art assets, all of the final sound effects, and all of the final music. instead there may be merely decent looking/sounding placeholders. each demo will be secretly branded with the recipient's name, so that if it ends up on the pirate bay i'll know whose face to smash. because of this the internal demo will be a little exclusive, but most of the people who've posted in this thread will probably end up with a copy. a slightly more polished public demo will be released once finalized assets are willed into existence.
finally, a lot of love and thanks to everyone who's shown support. i sincerely hope the game lives up to your expectations and you have a lot of fun.
how did i miss this
this looks really cool!!!
post pics of said beard and stache
also what zop said :-)
gluck dog
lmao man i never saw this thread before and this is suprisingly crazy
is this gonna end up being a game that you can purchase online? cuz if so id like to know how much it would cost, i wouldn't mind supportin this
