The Spyro Hop progress thread

Doppelgangergang · Jun 22, 2008 9:47 PM

A little fangame I'm working on, called The Spyro Hop. What do you think about it so far?

Well, the concept is pretty simple. Spyro (insomniac) is driving a jeep. Then he'll jump over obstacles by pressing "up." Hit something and game over.

Stuff done:
1. Scrolling BG
2. Scrolling floor
3. Spyro in a jeep graphic
4. Jeep Jumping
5. Jeep correctly lands on the floor and not sinking through it like quicksand.

Stuff to do:
1. Get some Spyro GBA roms and rip out the enemy graphics from them like what I did on the Spyro Jeep. The Spyro Jeep came from Spyro Orange, and it is *bleep* hard to rip out from.

2. Sound effects. Last one...

3. Music.

4. Getting the obstacles placed.

5. Getting the enemy do "creative" stuff.

6. Score. 1 point per successful dodge.

7. Three levels of difficulty, getting harder time to time.

Spyrorocks · Jun 23, 2008 9:13 PM

Feel free to post demo exes here for us to test.

Once you are ready for it to go live I can host it on SF for you.

Thats a useless sprite sheet because it can't be imported because the frames are different sizes.

godofwrath2098 · Jun 23, 2008 10:15 PM

go to paint-open-copy-new-paste-save as-load sprite

Doppelgangergang · Jun 23, 2008 10:49 PM

A bit unequal but workable. smile

Doppelgangergang · Jun 26, 2008 4:26 AM

Right! Time for some ups.

Progress:

1. Obstacle randomizer script now works. A random obstacle is placed.

2. Some enemies do creative stuff.

3. Scoring detection works perfectly. One point per successful landing to the ground.

4. Increases speed after a predefined number of hops.

To Do:

1. A proper scoring board.

2. Speed meter

3. Sound!

4. Music!

Known Engine Glitches:

1. It hates working with Firefox.

Doppelgangergang · Jun 27, 2008 5:02 AM

Successes:

Music is running!

Firefox glitch solved.

To Do:
Sound

Scrapped:
Speed Meter

Scoring Board (maybe in future revisions)

Working on:

Sound

Highscore tables

godofwrath2098 · Jun 27, 2008 5:14 AM

Looks really good, Doppel... it would be nice to have a minigame like this in my fangame!
Ofcourcem the game doesn't work on my computer for some reason but just by looking at it it looks nice. Keep up the good work smile
