Note that the contest doesn't allow people to help each others with code and stuff, though

I don't think Unicorn in participating anymore

Ah that sucks D:

Woah, I still am! I was just hanging out with friends last weekend, I'm still in this!

Anyways, I just messed around on-cac (my spritesheet was already uploaded) and now all the sprites are displaying. I just need to implement the gameplay, along with a background (that reminds me, I also need a tophat to through things into) , then the walrus spinner (to get walriis and throwing items), then walrus powerups, then throwing item powerups. Then, the game is done! Hopefully I can add more characters to keep the game going for a while if I have extra time.

Actually maybe it was c4ooo that wasn't participating anymore, but he said he might try to sneak in a quick entry. I'm glad that you're still in, by the way.

Will the walrus spinner be the walrified Pokéball sprite?

u/Unicorn January 08, 2016, 06:09:00 AM

Thanks!

Actually... that is a good idea. I won't have to create some weird spinning animation.

Gameplay/Info
Through a baseball at a moving object as a

Get 1 coin when a Coin object appears and you hit it.
Once you get 10-20 coins (I'm going to finalize a number for that once the gameplay is done), you get a walriiball to get either a new throwing object or new character.
Each object and character gives you certain perks, like more money made and so on.

Item and Character Buffs
Will be listed soon

Oddly enough, I once wanted to make a baseball Walrii sprite, but I finally didn't due to lack of motivation

a sports game would probably be quite hard under such time frame, though. It would have to be a dumbed down version of baseball or whatever you want to make.

u/Unicorn January 08, 2016, 04:49:16 PM

Oh, lol, its not a sports game

You throw an item at a moving object, and once you hit it you get points and rarley some coins.

u/Unicorn January 10, 2016, 06:49:36 AM

Bumpdate!

Got general game mechanics halfway done, and I'm ready to implement a menu, scoring, and character selection. (Currency and character unlocking will come later)

Just a note to myself: add a separate spritesheet with rotated silhouettes to erase characters.

u/Dream of Omnimaga January 10, 2016, 08:48:42 AM

Oh I see about the game genre now, lol. Glad to see updates, by the way

u/Unicorn January 12, 2016, 06:27:22 AM

Thanks

And yeah, if I buckle down for an hour and just program this thing I should be able to have the game done, along with half of the currency system finished. :3

u/Dream of Omnimaga January 12, 2016, 06:47:41 AM

What have you done so far?

u/Unicorn January 12, 2016, 06:55:00 AM

Well movement of the player is set, along with the movement of the target, and you can now throw things. There is no collision detection, but that will come after I make the throwing items smaller. Should have a screenshot by tomorrow.
