comment!

update/edit: (5/30/05) i just made this "pseudoscreenshot" of what i am thinking the interface of the game or whatever should look like. its incomplete, but its sweet as is.

woot.

the background should be dark red. green makes it look all calm.

other than that, i like it!

[pissed off salesman]

Either that, or some sort of cheesey blood drip.

[pjalne]

There isn't enough contrast between the hair and face on the Shaun's girlfriend sprite, you might want to work on that.

[bigtimecow]

thanks y'all!

remind me of the nes maniac mansion sprites

but i made them in photoshop, man

[MetalMilitia]

Do you have Photoshop CS2 yet?

I hear its good but cant be arsed to install it.

Did everyone in the movie have a button fly?

i don't even have ps cs yet. i was gonna install it, but decided not to for some reason. i would suppose i should. right now i think i just have 7.

check the update at the top!

[Mad Melvin]

I like it. :)

[N00bKill3R]

Thats pretty good, the only suggestion would be that for most the movie (I think all of it), Liz has outrageous makeup on.. the red lipstick and I think blue eyeshadow... it just looks silly without it :rolleyes

[the_dudefather]

any idea of what gameplay would be like?

[bigtimecow]

i'm hoping for a sidescroller but with depth (like you can move up and down you know) but it would follow the movie.
like, you drive to the locations, shit like that. but of course a lot of extra just plain fighting zombies. and if i can (and this would kick total ass) you could have either 1 or 2 players (shaun alone or shaun and ed) and as you gather the others they are each bots (each with different capabilites like, some shoot better, some are terrible, etc.). but yeah, just a simple shoot 'em up (but more like beat 'em up via the paddle and shovel and records etc).

if someone could make it happen, i would love them forever.

LOOK AT TEH EDIT AT TOP.

[the_dudefather]

what are you using to make the game?

the concept looks pretty cool

[Chojin]

26 days and that's all you've got?

[bigtimecow]

well one i only work on it when i have the time and two i'm in no rush so FUCKYOUGAYBONDAGEDOGCHOJINOKAYJEEZYOUMAKEMESOANGRY SOMETIMESIJUSTWANTTOCRY.

i'm hoping for someone with actionscript knowledge will aid me in making the game in flash.

[Chojin]

Yeah, given a year and the aid of a talented flash programmer, you might even make Shaun blink.

[bigtimecow]

or shit

[Chojin]

Honestly, your pixel art sucks and anyone that could program in actionscript would be able to do a comparable job. What I'm trying to say is that no-one who knows what they're doing is going to help you, because you're worthless in the overall picture (aside from having the idea in the first place).

Keep giving us updates as you crawl at your pitiful pace while I SCREAM AND BERATE AND BELITTLE YOU TO THE POINT WHERE YOU HAVE SOMEONE TO BLAME FOR YOUR DISCONTINUED INTEREST IN THE PROJECT, DESPITE THE FACT IT WAS BROUGHT ON BY YOUR OWN PATHETIC SHORTCOMINGS.

That said, the important thing is that you're having fun! And getting valuable experience! Would you like some lemonade and peanut butter sandwiches brought into your room today so you can work through din-din? We're so proud of you, son.

[the_dudefather]

why yoo gotta be so mean chojin?

[bigtimecow]

i forgot that dancing games were better :lol

[Chojin]

...they are.

[Chojin]

Jeez, calm down - You just suck at drawing and having realistic expectations, it's not like it's the end of the world.

[Jim Duncan - Weather]

There better not be any missions where you have to lead the others around and protect them, I hate those types of missions. >:

[darkvare]

well first of all characters look too blocky, you could ask a good sprite artist to help you, and zombie games need to bee plaged with zombies all over the place gritty and bloody enviroments,
and of course headshot inducing weapons, imagine how hard it would be to melee hundreds of brainless enemies. just my 2 cents

[Matt Harty]

/LOLBABECHOJINAMIRIGHTGUYS

Just stop.

[bigtimecow]

hey chojin, it isn't the end of the world.






BUT I WILL END YOURS


oh, and about darkvare's comment, i agree with the "plaguing with zombies" thing. i'm going to do my best at that. and the weapons will roughly be what is used in the movie, but with of course a few twists. anyway, thank you for giving a nice comment unlike some ddr-dancing faggots >:

[Bell E. Laffs]

They are making a Shaun of The Dead video game that will actually be better then any crap you are making.

[Chojin]

bigtime, if we were anywhere but on i-mockery, i might give you some constructive criticism. I see your game as so far gone beyond the possibility of good, though, that I see such constructiveness as futile, and so instead I make fun of you for my own jollies.

Hope this helps!
