[SHiZNO]

Will be working on creating a game like Baku Baku Animals (that tetris type game with animals/food) (its on SMS if you are interested in seeing what itll hopefully be like.)

Ill be working on this aswell as my fighting game...

Any updates/Info will be logged here....
Any suggestions welcome.

[SHiZNO]

well, i quickly threw up a model for the rabbits head in 5 minutes...

[SHiZNO]

Welp, most of you are obviously confused by now, or just dont care (im sure females will love this game as my sister did)

Sooo...i drew up this concept art of the game, its basically tetris, instead of blocks you place 'food' and animal heads, what you do is match the animal head with the food, and the animal head comes alive and starts eating the food (clears the line basically altho it doesnt have to be a line)...

heres a pic of it in concept roughly ms paint concept of it

it sure looks like crap there, but the game should be nice and colourful, and fun as hell if i do it properly (the original was pretty cool)...anyways, we'll see how it goes...

Hopefully the mass will now understand the concept of Baku Baku

[SHiZNO]

Forgot to explain the pic, anyway, as you can imagine the green would be Bamboo, you would try get a group of Bamboo, and then put a Panda bear block on it (the panda comes alive and eats it! amazing!)

You also have bananas (monkey eats), carrots (bunny rabbit) and bones (dog eats).... see...its really easy and girls/kids will probably like it, and im sure 2-4 player would be awesome.

Oh BTW : for legal reasons this will be "for PC" and opensource, rumor has it, a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend said he was going to alter the code to play on Xbox *doesnt need to get in trouble right now*

[SHiZNO]

Welp, the past 2 weeks have been crazy, the net has been off, nvidea bugged me to join some conference thing (err...yay), so if you thought i had bailed on the projects you were wrong...if anyone is even interested in the games anyway.

oh well.

ive pretty much run over everything on this game programming wise, will test it out and debug over next few days, then ship it off to wishi for tryout.

How far along are you? I can't wait to try it out for my PC!
Is everything going to be animated? This makes me think of super bubble pop. Is it going to be something like that?

[t_rex]

Looking foward to this

BTW, Have you finished Shizno Fighter?

[SHiZNO]

Nope, due to the relative ease of this project i decided to finish this first, then work on 'shizno fighter', which will hopefully get a new name in the near future.......any suggestions?

[Wishi]

Sounding good, I've been waiting to have a go on this game. Sounds like a very interesting concept. Eagerly awaiting my copy

[SHiZNO]

_OKAY_


Well, after a lot of delays (motivational problems, am i the only one who can never be bothered sitting down to work?) this game is back on track...

heres my update:

Okay: there was a major fuckup with the animals eating (due to poor planning (ofcourse) ) So anyway, I decided to [delete] the entire code, and start again from scratch.

So heres where im at:
Main engine is practically finished....blocks fall, animals eat, blank holes are filled (drop)..blocks/animals/board will ALL be 2D now (why use 3d for this game anyway?)...controls are done.

Heres what i have to finish:
Menu
Scores
Finish animal eat animation
wait for wife to finish drawing the final animals..
---

Oh, and Ill take a screenshot (ingame) of it tonight, to give you a first look at the game... its shaping up nicely, and im working on it like a steam train now!

I _SWEAR TO GOD_ I will have it finished and released() ASAP... Im think next week, but i dont want to make something certain then find out somethings fucked up again...

Sorry for delay for anyone waiting for this game..im trying to make it worth your while (images will be open format: you'll be able to draw your own silly animals/food if you please)

WISHI YOU WILL GET YOUR COPY FIRST!

man I loved this game on the saturn, it one of the better puzzle games that's for sure.
make sure there's cool SFX and cheezy music

the saturn version had 3d heads and it looked really cool, can't wait to see what your version looks like!

[Wishi]

Sounding good, I've been waiting to have a go on this game. ... Wait a minute, that sounds familiar

Glad you've found the motivation to do it. Don't worry, you're certainly not the only one who experiences these type of problems!

I guess youll be glad to know that i managed to get my hands on the proper SFX for this game...eg the guy screaming 'OMATASE'...heh

Screenshot time!

Okay, so heres a few in game rendered on xbox screenshots

NOTE: the backgrounds havent been drawn (aligned) to the blocks properly yet (the backgrounds will be Baku Baku type jungle backgrounds with score etc)..

The actual blocks are being worked on still, some images are still UGLY and the lady is drawing them as i type and improving all the time so...yeha...final blocks should look nice..
ANYWAY, you will be able to make your own, or revert to ORIGINAL baku baku blocks.

PS: player 2 is all skulls because it means player 2 is game over my own little death touch.

anyway, the pictures are JPG, geocities wont let me link JPG so click the links and if it wont show in IE just download them and swap them to JPG extension

Screenshot 1 monkey eating

Screenshot 2 Bunny eating


should be complete soon as you can see (backgrounds/score is all to do! and finish sound/AI i suppose but still! soon soon SOON!)
