I need help for a small Mindcrack Flash(?) game I'm making!

[ivillious_liliuvos]

You read the title of this post? Great. Now, details under the cut!

I don't know what kind of game I should make it. Those dress-up ones (no no please don't suggest that), small walkaround flashes where you can interact with other Mindcrackers as a Mindcracker yourself and play as them (if you're familiar with Homestuck's later walkaround flashes it's a lot like that), platformer game or something else.

Please help? If you want the walkaround flash, please put down the conversations with one person to another over here with some kind of break to seperate your submittion from other people!

http://shrib.com/projectmindgame (p.s. the password is salad! In case some random person who has no knowledge of us or the project finds the note and decides to defile it.)

Also what theme should it center around? Maybe they're transported to a new world and they comment on how strange it is. Maybe they're talking about the strange girl who follows the player around who randomly interjects and you can talk to her but she only responds with something simple.

(of course this is only if it isn't a dress-up game or something like that BUT PLEASE NO I'LL MAKE THEM WEAR GIRLY THINGS like serious ones as in not frilly pink tutus, ballet slippers and Cinderella-esque ball gowns I'll probably make them wear those normal girl outfits that are not funny at all)

(also can I request a fangame tag or something like that but ahaha that's probably a bit too much to ask isn't it)

Ohhhhh a dressup game would be so cute.

You wouldn't even need to make extra costumes, just make them able to wear each others'.

*is totally helpful*

[ivillious_liliuvos]

.—. So the general consensus here is that the Salad likes dress-up games. Good to know.

My mind skimmed over the idea and never really put much thought into it, but yeah it's better than normal girl outfits.

I'd be of o help to this project, but I'm just saying a dress up game would be adorable

[ivillious_liliuvos]

Okay. Uh. Sure? Eeeek. I can't really draw male outfits. •n•

[redyellowgirl]

I know you just said you don't want a dress up game, Ivy. But I think you do. Why would you bring it up other wise? ;)

On another note, I'm not sure if I could help with the game at all but I would very much look forward to playing whatever it is you produce!

[ivillious_liliuvos]

Um, okay. Dress-up.

Maybe I'll do a seperate game for the walkaround? Because I really wanted to do that. Hide easter eggs in and all. Dress-up games are not particularly friendly to me because of the weird coding I have never managed to figure out. And also no easter eggs. I only brought it up because I really disliked dress-up games.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to me finally getting my lazy butt off my bed and onto the computer seat too where it is still lazy. But I suppose there's that saying, "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey.". Actually I'm not sure that would fit haha nevermind what I'm saying.

[redyellowgirl]

You should make it all! (if you can) if you need a beta tester for the game I would love to help.

[ivillious_liliuvos]

Thank you! :D I'll let you know somehow when I complete either one of them.

As for me, I've never thought about it, but now I think about it. Wouldn't something like a platformer like Castlevania suite this well? I mean there's 22 of them, so there's enough for 22 bosses including one final boss. The goal is to defeat Etho (final boss) and you will enter a room with the final item which is a white screen of "canijoinmindcrack.com" with like "Ask Etho" as the answer, but once you give it the final item, you will be sent to... the beginning of the game to start all over again to reach the end much like Ghost and Goblins with Etho coming up in the top left corner saying "Your efforts to enter the Sever is valiant, however with your current abilities, you can still not enter the true sever."

[ivillious_liliuvos]

That would certainly be interesting, but I'm not sure I could do the Etho in the top left corner. Maybe following the player around? :D That would certainly be interesting!

[fleatherduck]

Etho's voice in one's head. I realized that a 10-11 level game with a mid-boss and an end boss at every stage would be nice. Also... make them super difficult! Like Ninja Gaiden x Symphony of the Night x Ghouls and Ghosts hard.

[ivillious_liliuvos]

That…

I just love the idea of someone raging at this. I really should finish a chapter of a story quickly so I can get to work.

(if you know Nihilumbra, I'm probably going to do something like where the first playthrough of the game is like an extended tutorial and the second playthrough is the real game and you unlock something very silly at the end of the second playthrough which affects the third playthrough quite a lot)

[mewbladexxx]

Ooh, dress-up. I mean, ahem, why would I ever suggest that? It's absurd!

(Inner fangirl Mew thinks it's a VERY good idea.)

If you want help on some sort of plotline, I'll be glad to help! :D

[ivillious_liliuvos]

I really only need the speeches and beta testers. :D

(I'm totally not implying anything nope)

I've decided to do THREE games. Dress-up, walkaround and platformer thing. Yes. This is totally not a bad idea when I'm doing a lot of fanfics that aren't here.
