mipaol Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hell I'd consider preordering that, I love Haunted House and that would look great next to my Texas Chainsaw and Halloween games. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 One of my favorite movies. I’d be in to buy if anything was ever developed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian O Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Made a couple more sprites. Cabbie and the Duke. Man, making sprites is difficult. I have a newfound respect for the PacManReds and Nathan Strums of the world Edited May 15, 2020 by Brian O 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinMos3 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) That mockup cartridge is absolutely gorgeous! I would buy it just for that, even if the game sucked. (which I’m sure it wouldn’t). Edit: With games like CGE Adventures, Epic Adventure, Evil Magician II, and the Grinch game, I cant help but thinking of a particular programmer when I look at those mockup screenshots and sprites.

I really enjoyed seeing how you incorporated the programming limitations into the mockups. I def thought that was one of the more interesting original ideas out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping the idea would be compelling enough for someone to want to code. I knew I could never do it. I read that Idea Peddlers thread, and I didn't want to be another one of those "I have 1% of an idea, make the whole game for me" guys.

Brian O Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Some more sprites (Brain, Maggie, and President). I'll admit, creating these is fun even if they're never used for anything! Edited May 17, 2020 by Brian O 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian O Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) Needed to make a fake manual, so I created a fake game to go with it! Edited May 18, 2020 by Brian O 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+splendidnut Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Very nice! Keep fleshing out the game design and maybe a developer will pick up this project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orange808 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Might use the playfield for blockades. Might also change the health pack to an "E" so you can draw it will a missile or the ball. Might be fun to borrow from Beyond Castle Wolfenstein, limit ammo, and require some stealth. Berzerk set the bar for pure run and gun pretty high already. Probably don't need to even actually draw bullets. Muzzle flashes would suffice. Too bad I'm so busy. Also, there's no way you get away with using that IP. Probably better imagined as a zombie apocalypse in Chicago. Edited May 19, 2020 by orange808 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
