TOTB4 Emmental and the End of Days (old kipper)

edited January 2012 in Conferences and Events
In a time when we face a possible global environmental disaster, the drastic effects of radiation, meteorites, lightening, rain, rising/falling sea levels, and cheese can so alter the environment that life will not survive. I hope to highlight these problems by use of a user controlled scientific simulation laid out in a form that will educate the masses. With maniacal manipulation you can save the World or bring on Armageddon (and much amusement). The choice is yours. I will be posting images of the progress so far, but my concentration for the next few hours will be on recording 'kipper' generated audio (I note the requirement for self recorded sounds so I hope a wet armpit and garageband should be enough to get me under the limbo pole of TOTB4 law).

    A visual masterpiece! The first one reminds me a bit of Quentin Blake

    Looking really good. (The blueprint style 'rough layout' should be how the instructions screen looks)

    When does TOTB4 finish?

    Reality is overrated.

    glad you guys seem to like it, but am not surprised no one can work out whats happening. All I hope will become more obvious as I add more elements (still working on a van der graaf generator, an orgone accumulator coupled to a cloud-busting machine and , some lifeforms, a monster and meteorites) and the scoring system and possibly the zoom in level. WIll see how it goes.

    edit. I forgot to mention the boat

    Completely bonkers!.... but genius!

    Love the illustration art style and the animation....

    If your even half as eccentric as your game ideas, you must be one hell of a guest for dinner parties :)

    Im looking forward to more updates on this one......

    I have a lighting generated template if you need it. I have used it in Kung Fu Finger 2 and in dr Ludwig's Evil Eyes (check the last one out at the app store, it is free) Evil Eyes has a simulator wickedness as your project.
    I will put it in my Dropbox if you want it. Please mail me at info at Lumpapps dot com.
    I love your project. Your style is great as always. True talent if you ask me. Now finish this project!!! ;)

    @ludwig Many thanks but I am not sure I am allowed to crib out of templates in the comp or have time to work it in with all I already have to do. Once I get the graphics in I have a lot to do on the game mechanics... an awful lot... and awful, awful lot... and there is all the sound which is going to be quite a large task, but am pacing myself for tuesday so will enter it whatever happens.

    @chunkpixels Currently I am only eating flat food that can be slid under the door. WIll let you know when I have had time to wash and get out of pyjamas as I could do with a good feed.

    @ludwig unfortunately I don't have the evil programming skills to create Dutch weather...

    Got in all this screens worth of interface with animation but still have so much to do- meteors, lightening and orgone energy. Then its creatures and programming.

    Wow!!! I'm very curious about the gameplay of this game! can you actually control and interact with each and every aspect of that machine ?!
    Keep posting progress keeper !

    @pom I hope you will be able to and there will be consequences. I've got in and have working the cloudbusting love machine and the Van der Graaf generator and have them working on the environment. These I hope to be able to put into the general feed back system so it all becomes a balancing act that spawns life and screws the planet big time if you don't. I still have the meteorites to sort out (poking the moon will knock bits off and prolonged poking will send it crashing down. I am knackered after 16 hours on this today but I may just animate the fish lifeforms before bed.

    This looks amazing! Can't wait to see how it all comes together. Will you be putting this on the arcade?

    @scitunes Thanks. Your's is the one to watch though. I don't think I will be able to put it on the arcade until I rebuild it for iphone as the graphics overhead and format are more suited to the ipad. I've been pretty sloppy with the memory as I am just rushing to get it together in time for the close of the contest, but I'm seriously thinking now that I'll rebuild it after that (with a planet surface zoom mode). Also I can see that my background mechanics are not going to be up to Mr. Will Wright's on this pass.

    this mornings design doc. so much to do and so little time...

    the interface is in, every switch and animation is working and functional! YIPPIE! I've yet to wire in the generation of life and disasters but its coming along. The audio will make huge difference I hope to the experience but now it gameplay, gameplay, gameplay... lifeforms, explosions, a few surprises and more spelling mistakes. Above is a rough guide to the interface.


    p.s. I may put up a vid once the sound is in...
