Man, we've come a long way since mapping in dromed.

One morning recently I woke up with an idea for a crossing guard game in my head.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9payd7u006fp3u4/CGJ_01.gif?raw=1I became some compelled by this idea that I dropped my current project and decided to work on this instead. "It'll just be a little thing that I can throw together in a week or two!" I said to myself. That was 3 weeks ago. I'm calling it "Crossing Guard Joe". This past week I put in the main menu, options and localisation system and now I'm thinking about scrapping the current level-structure in favor of something better. It's still gonna be a pretty small project tho!

Needs more blood.

Awesome.

Thanks. :)
Haha Brethren, earlier builds of the game were quite a bit (

Naah. I was originally gonna go with a classic linear arcade level-structure where you have limited continues, but that's not a great fit since players would have to replay early levels a lot and there's not much randomness to keep things fresh. Instead I'll go with one where levels are self-contained units and you can earn 1-3 stars per level, with enough stars required to unlock the next set of levels. Y'know, like Trackmania or Trials or whatever.

Oooh... I guess I'll cancel my order for fanmade "Stilt Fella MMO" shirts then :(

German ‘90s mode where the kids are robots and/or have green blood! Or, when they're run over, they could just sit down and shake their heads in dismay.

Alternatively, a mode where the car is completely wrecked when it runs into the kids.

Huh, German '90s mode to me always meant a haxxor title screen in German with bouncing leet speak, a mile long handle appreciation scroll, and "option 2. unendlich Leben", all set to 8-bit pwn music -- that would take me 45 minutes to download on my squealing 200 baud C64 modem. XD
