Game in production: Scuba Marianna

dracon:
With the help of the diamond, the main villain might take different forms to stand out from the other bosses as a final fight. Haven't decided it though.

LittlePumpkin:
My previous game was Inflated Scuba Ladies

I made a thread in the Artist Studio section of these forums. If you are logged in, you can see it Clicking Here

You can see a Youtube video of the game, in which I explain how to play it, Clicking Here

You can download the game Clicking Here

Thanks, and sorry for the long wait.

I think I will have news next week

.
What I will likely show next:
An animation with another foe, a rather tall latex woman with a whip. Her breasts(quite big) will be at the height of our heroine's shoulders. So when punching her, her breasts will bounce like a speed bag. At the final hit, Marianna will "steal" the whip, and tie the opponent up(a pretty quick action), and then increase the pressure of her oxygen tank. The inflation will probably focus more on the breasts this time around.

.
I think this video will give you a better idea of the punching and "bouncing breasts": http://youtu.be/Ufjv2rp81-U?t=7m20s

No animation yet, but here's the character I described:

Here's the same character, in the middle tied up, and inflated at the right:

Sergy92:

Colors will repeat. The enemies will have warm colors to contrast with the protagonist's blue. So you'll see red, orange, orangish yellow, purplish red, black and white with some warm tendency, and probably many of these will repeat on different foes.

Fukureruba:

Wow! If you are Big Horse, I have to say that your work has been very inspiring for me :)

Darth_Clone19:

That sure is possible. I have considered it, but will depend on amount of characters I end up making. Maybe will happen on the enemies that appear more often (the weaponless, easiests to beat ones)

Thanks for your comments fellows :)

Thanks for the comments :)

I'll think about the popping. It is actually easier for me to just let them explode.
Variation (in the gameplay) may come from the enemies' moves and attacks.

Not much. Here are a couple images:

.
The process became too slow, so I paused the production of the game.

.
Now, I have this idea to resume the project: ask for help.

I'm thinking in having some people helping me after they get paid, and some people helping me voluntarily.
But I don't think I have enough money to pay peolple. So how do I think to pay?
Well, my idea is that people interested in working in my project contact me and show me some samples of their work, and if I accept them, the person in question opens an Indie Gogo crowdfunding for their desired payment for a week or month of work. Then I post links in my Deviantart journal(or a particular thread in this forum) to these people's crowdfunding. Once they reach their goal, they help me in the project during a week/month/whatever.

People who is able or willing to help me for free, can do so if I like their samples too.

.
I would be the director, though I can do a little of every other task as well.

.
People that would come in handy:

-Pixel animators.
I would give them the first and last poses of an action, among some other parameters. Animation can be rough as the one I showed earlier in this thread. I can animate too.

-Pixel animation inbetweeners.
They add needed images between the key poses of the animations to make them look more fluent. These can be rough too. I can do this.

-Pixel animation cleaners.
Refine the animations and inbetweens. They add missing detail and correct deformed shapes. By instance, the beforementioned animation needs to be cleaned. I can do this.

-People that can translate images drawn in paper into pixels. I can do this.

-Background pixel artists.
I have less experience, but can do some.

-Musicians.
Music will likely be made in midi format, or with some 8bit tune maker. I made the only melody for Inflated Scuba Ladies, but you can see how basic is my music knowledge. I can hum the music for the musician.

-People with good control with the making of 8 bit sounds.
I use a program called sfxr to make sounds. But I can be sometimes a long time experimenting with the parameters to find something similar to what I want. Someone with more experience may come handy. I can show the kind of sound I want and timing with my voice.

-Programmers.
This task can be pretty time consuming for me. I'm not really a programmer. I only know how to use Game Maker. But I'd accept a programmer that uses whatever language or program he feels comfortable with. I would send him little tests made with game maker to show him how I want the organization of things, like timing, reaction to buttons, speed of animations, etc.

.
The end result would be posted at some page to be played for free. But I'd keep the copyright over most characters and game. I think it is important to mention this, because some people may dislike the idea of helping me if I plan to make money of possible sequels or merchandise.

Feel free to ask me any doubts.
