This just raped my computer...

[d'arjwood]

This just raped my computer...

What?! How so?

[Maltor124]

Was this game made with game maker? I'm assuming it is, since it's on YoYo. That means I can't use it, unfortunately. Shame, too, it looks fun... :(

[Sardiini]

Your game is really hard, I couldn't get trough the second level.

[Beakless]

This just raped my computer...

Woah! Me too...

What?! How so?

I have no idea, but it wouldn't let me quit the level, then it crashed 'My Computer' and completeley ruined my display settings... I was that close to resrarting it, but I managed to save it completley breaking down into tears.

Your game is really hard, I couldn't get trough the second level.

I couldn't even get through the first one because when you press the acellarate button, the car acellerates like 10 seconds later, and i'm thinking "oh I must have pressed the wrong button or he's changed the layout", so I aimlessly hit every button to see which one it is, to no avail, then suddenlly ZOOM! Off it goes! the car goes mental around the map and crashes my computer...

Work needs to be done.

Same here. It took up tons of memory too, when I check my Task Manager.

[AquaGeneral]

I like the vehicles suspennsion, it makes it feel more realistic.

On my PC it had 23% CPU usage when the game was running so I did not really have any of those rape-age problems.

sorry but I don't think im even going to try this one.

[aassaa123]

Works fine on my comp, but when one of them flameing barrels explodes the game crashes with an error screen. Fun, but that problem makes it hard.

[Jetstar]

With my two years of experience with Gamemaker I have never heard of a 3D game doing this. You must've really screwed something up.

Just played it for the first time, thats a great game! Could use with some checkpoints because I'm finding one or two levels a bit hard, but the explosion effects are brilliant.
Anyone who has trouble defining a physics game, well, this is one!
I really do love it, well done and thank you :D

[d'arjwood]

[Amynue]

This game is awesome, good work man ;)

I'm in 3rd lvl :D

[Jetstar]

And just to warn you, this is my first game. So scew you if you're having problems...
Great way to get people to play your games, bud.

[Maltor124]

Great way to get people to play your games, bud.

Independent game developers never have Customer Support... unless they know someone in India... :p

Also, it's interesting that it works very well on some computers and awfully on others. I can't play it, as Game Maker doesn't like Windows Vista, but you should probably check into why some people get such awful performance compared to others. Random glitch, perhaps?

[8-Ball]

Stage 6 is so unfair, you just get to the end and you just miss the flag then get blown up by one of those guns :mad: then you have the fluke your way to the end again :(

[d'arjwood]

[post removed]

[Maltor124]

Thank you so much! Downloading and testing now...

EDIT: Excellent game, so spectacularly simple and it has a great physics and particle engine! I don't know why everyone had so much trouble with the framerate, mine was rather inconsistent, but it was still an average of about 30.

It's highly addictive, too. I already want to beat the third level! GREAT. GAME.

This game is REALLY good! It didn't rape my PC and it was fun!

[Wrestler#1]

WOW! I love the game! It has a simple style... Maybe this is the reason why I like it :)

A VISTA version? Guys, get on your knees and pray to him, he has to be god :D

So, this is officially a Fun-Motion "community project." What I mean is, you guys give me the ideas and I'll add them to the game. No one will see this game but you guys, at leased not until it's done-er. So, everyone else in the world thinks it's finished, but now it's going underground! :D And the only reason I'm doing this is because you have inspired me so!
So... ideas?! And... does anyone want to help me with sounds/music and/or graphics?
That's great, we can just keep adding to it :D Let me get past stage 6 and I'll bombard you with ideas, and I can sort out some music as well.

Wow, i like this game! Maybe add something really different? Like crazy cars or bosses or something like that? Or am i just insane?

[Steparnicus]

I really enjoyed it, there were a couple of bits that were frustrating, but satisfying to complete.

Im not even attempting to complete level six, i can see whats going on with all the changes in where the gravity pulls you, but its far too confusing!

The physics are very good tho, feels very much like elastomania and other games like that, and you've pulled it off well.

In terms of what I'd change, theres a lot of driving into what look like walls, but you can drive through them, which can throw you off a little. I'd say to make the level design a little more straight forward, and have less of the crazy "fly up this pipe and then reverse gravity" type things. Also, those bullets can go through walls which is quite unfair!.

I did like the dodging the bullets thing though, maybe there should be more of that? if you made it really fast paced then it could almost be like N but with a physics car instead of a ninja. And if that was the focus of the game then the levels could be designed more straight-forwardly instead of being all confusing. However, that's a bit of a departure from the elastomania style gameplay you have now...but its just a thought!

For a first game though, this is very, very good. Well done!

P.S. Whats with the Starbucks Advertising? you hoping for a sponsorship deal? ;)

[Maltor124]

Ooooooooh. Glad to see you're improving this! I think a little CC (Cortex Command) looking terrain would suit this game's ground, at least in the way of detail. Maybe not that barren.

[inuyasha2264]

Lol it didn't do anything to my computer. Well actually it raped it into the wrong resolution when i stopped playing it but other than that nothing! =P Fun game! My games in game maker are crap-tastic! Lol

[OkumTheLostNinja]

a suggestion to make it better...
add damage ;)

[Maltor124]

WOAH! Game Maker with destruction models? Is that even possible!?

[OkumTheLostNinja]

uh yes...O_O

i did it but ppl will say my games suck =(

ATCHUNG!!! You may have problems after, during, or before playing. Delete the game if you are 100% certain that it doesn't work on your computer. Make sure that you do not download the XP version on a Windows Vista computer. Thank ya'!


can i use your script for my game?

just a diff car?

k

have fun making the game lol

[Adde]

Gaah, I cant finish the sixth level, I always get stuck when the gravity defying thingy tries to pull the car up between two walls after it comes around a round corner from the right. :eek:
Anyway, the game works perfectly (no raping) on my computer. ;)

[d'arjwood]

Hey guys. Right now I'm going to try taking the old textures and sprites from Cortex Command and see how they look in 4x4. I'm sure they would be pretty neat.
I hope Data doesn't mind, and I don't think he will because this is not even close to a commercial game.

EDIT: Ooops, sorry for the double post. I didn't realize...

[Jokker]

Gah. Forgot about this thread until now. I tried to tell you earlier that I could possibly help with *some* graphics, though not much (depends on what you want. I can do some stuff, like some 3D models, but suck at 2D art), but I lost the post and got lazy.

So erm, if you need help, send me a PM, I could help.

Also, you're using Gamemaker? I need to install it tomorrow. I'll see what I can do with it. I'm told it's supposed to be easy.

*saves download for future archiving*

Hey, if it gets famous, at least I got a beta download for collectors. >:P

[d'arjwood]

[Xerxes]

Hey, with a level editor, it could be the Next Big Thing.

Anyhoo, I could maybe sprite for you if you wanted. I'm not good at shadows, but I'm a pretty good pixel artist, if I do say so myself.

[d'arjwood]

[post removed]

[Jokker]

OHHH level editor! I'm no good at those kinds of things, but I could get someone else to do it :D

About the spiriting... Jokker has agreed to do some 3D graphics for the game, but I'm going to keep things like the cars 2D. Do you think that you could sprite some cars, wheels, and their axles so that I can add new levels with the new cars? If you are willing, I'll send you kind of the guideline of the sizes and how they should look and stuff. That would be great! :D
Next demo I'm going to put a list of the people and what they are doing on the "team" right now. Thanks, e'rbody!

EDIT: Hell yes! Page 3 everybody! Free beer and EasyMac for everyone!

On that note, I'm wondering if GM support having a 3D background. If you can import models into it, then I could make some background types...

Also, I could help you with coding, GML is simple.

Oh, and I could help with drawing, but not colouring, I suck at that. (Also, drawing take me a while)

[OkumTheLostNinja]

Free beer and EasyMac for everyone!

YAY :D

[Wrestle]

Even though I had some problems with it ( i.e. Cars unlike dirt bikes cant adjust their positioning while airborne.) It is by FAR one of the better games to come out of game maker.

PS: You guys are going to really like the next versions. :)

that sounds great...can't wait for it :D

any updates -? :P

[d'arjwood]

[post removed]

[Dj Demetrius]

Well, I got back about a week ago, but I haven't really thought much of it. So I just worked on it some right now. I got some new effects and small gameplay aspects, and I'm about to work on some destructible terrain.
Just to say, not all the terrain will be destructible, just certain kinds. Just like how the purple pieces break (new effect rather than just disappearing for that, by the way) or how the red pieces warp (and for that). I'm thinking of adding mud and lava too.

Sounds great- wanna give us a date for when the next version is coming :p

[d'arjwood]

[post removed]

[Dj Demetrius]

Sorry, DJ. Can't give you a date. I can never keep promises with dates in them. But I'll say, "I'm putting a new demo up tomorrow" or something like that the day before.

Good enough for me :)

[Pugmartin]

id just like to say ive just tried this and i reckon its amazing. really good.

so now i cant wait for the updates!

good luck mate i reckon your onto something good here

[Dj Demetrius]

Any updates....? and btw, i updated the mediafire page too.

[psygo]

D: ME WANT UPDATE

^^that means we want more :D WE LOVE YOUR GAME

[Flomasta]

[Dj Demetrius]

And I will update as to what's happening / happened so far, so that you know what you'll be seeing come next version.


Any updates...? I'm really excited to play the next version now ^^ :)

[digitalmanifestation]

worked fine on mine although i'm stuck on level 2 :P i'll admit it's hard to get through that water with the exploding barrel but that's not a programming error. Game ran fine on my sub standard machine ^^ i like the explosions, people who are haveing problems with it probably have some drivers missing or something, or are trying to run it on a 200mhz snail of a cpu :D

[d'arjwood]

[post removed]

[Dj Demetrius]

Hey, nice of you to update us. I know what you mean with "busy with school", because I'm pretty busy in school too. Well, good luck, and be sure to get us a new demo ASAP :p

[d'arjwood]

[OkumTheLostNinja]

Ok, ok.

Bicycles, Motorcycles or Dirt bikes.( I would love dirt bikes in this one.) Ragdoll when you fall off the dirtbike, bicycle, motorcycle.

[d'arjwood]

[post removed]

[rocketeer]

Hmmm.. You know, I would like that, except there are a few problems:
1. '4x4' requires 4 wheels.
2. The whole ragdoll thing and even the bikes themselves would take more than just today to add in. I was busy up until now, so today is the only day for me to work on this.

But thanks for the suggestion! Perhaps something a little more feature-like instaed of something like just a new vehicle or something. Quickly!

ATV's? or.... Super Awesome Halo 3 mongeese! (Or mongooses, whatever the plural may be, but I think it should be mongeese)

[OkumTheLostNinja]

Aww, hmmm, maybe...soft body cars?

[Fox-Fool]

ATV's? or.... Super Awesome Halo 3 mongeese! (Or mongooses, whatever the plural may be, but I think it should be mongeese)

It's mongooses, but yes, mongeese does sound better :P

For a suggestion, I suggest the use of suspension, and an easier way to get up right if you flip over.

[d'arjwood]

[post removed]

[Dj Demetrius]

I liked it :D Especially that you removed the water in stage 2 where you have to press that button. Still, the most obvious thing you need is good textures.

[OkumTheLostNinja]

What are all the new features?

[d'arjwood]

[post removed]

[Spencer135]

Wow, this is the best new game I've played for a long time. I don't know what all the problems where, it ran fine and I was playing it on my crappy laptop. My only suggestions are a level editor and damage, that would be awesome. Great game!

[fracture7]

This game has a brutal learning curve.

First level: easy
Second level: impossible...

I cant finish the second level.

[geel9]

Yeah. The source for this game got deleted with everything else on my computer, so I'm pretty much done. First game, last game.

Just one thing to add to my list of things that I've done. I'm hoping to do everything that there is to do in the whole world by the time i die.

Peace.

You mean, before you die?

That's impossible.

Because dying is something you can do.

But you can't do it before you die.

:P

Committing suicide before you die may be quite hard too.
