Good luck man. You've got all the motivation you need right here on the boards- praise, roasts and all the dwarven women you could want.

Also testers.

Yup, it'll be good... also how much longer do you reckon before I create a forum if I do? We've got 4 precursor games, 4 active games, and 3 in the works

Oh I just got an idea for a pixels game though it is a secret for now ...

I would say now, but its up to you.

[Ehndras]

I'm thinking of programming a game like Pixel Tribes in Processing or Java (LWJGL || Slick 2D)

Anyone approves or wants to talk about it, PM me

Do it. For Armok's Beard!

[PyroDesu]

Sure, go for it, your a scientist on board Machu Pichu (who the players work for) who has befriended PyroDesu, he's asking you to become your lab assistant aboard Hope (the players habitat) so your first action should be to respond to that, it also seems your the only guy to start with a name (Bill).

There's also that unclaimed combat person.

Or, rather, soon-to-be unclaimed, when Ehndras is done with 'im.

Takes only moments to create a forum, if you really want to. Try to get this game thing going before you make that leap though.

I've started coding and guess what?! You can move around and gather stuff, I'll need someone for art though I guess

The crafting is in the coding stage, I'm thinking of having a crafting skill that determines how many materials you can use for a tool/item

There are no recipes and as you progress through the game and find new techniques, you can name the item whatever you want and the product is named in the format of; [Item used] [Recipe base name] - (latter is optional) with [Studs, gems etc.]

The materials have properties like sharpness, weight and shape which determine the statistics of what you've crafted


If you find this faulty, good or want to add/change something while it's still in the coding stage and not so late, you can tell me here

Current information;

Written in Processing, may port later to LWJGL if needed (I possibly won't but in case this becomes something big, I may think about it)
Not much coded, there is a menu, you can walk around, 2D array collision

The map consists of a 2D array for terrain, and another one for entities. Everything in terrain is called props, those props can interact with players and other props (for example naturally generated stones combine with other stones to form bigger stones, I'm trying to make it so that player moved stones don't combine with natural stones)


I'm accepting material and gameplay suggestions at the moment, I want this game to be community-driven


EDIT: I need a name for it, please be reasonable

[Ehndras]

Pixel Station: Hyperion first turn up!


Trust me when I say I'm making this Pixels game absolutely bloody epic.

[ashton1993]

Put up a poll people's 

[Ehndras]

Someone, I think Aklyon, is planning a Medieval Pixels as well. I'll contribute a castle image it took me frigin ages to make, once I get home.

You sure you mean Aklyon and not somebody else, Aklyon is running pixelic engines...

[Ehndras]

Wait. Right.

I dunno, it was someone... Might be adwarf. I dunno.

[Aklyon]

I thought it was a good idea, thought I might do it. Not at the moment though, I'm messing with a Technic MP server in minecraft and need to update Pixelic Engines soon enough.

[adwarf]

No mine is Cavern Pixels. You start out as a group of six-eight pixel adventurers who were trapped deep underground while you were looking for treasure. The cave-in unsealed a massive chain of caverns, and within them was locked the most vile creatures of the world. Now you must survive, and maybe one day return to the surface, but it is a long way, and to do, so would require Old Technology long lost within the ruins of the cavern.

AWESOME. Its Pixel Fortress, but from bottom up.
