Making Games

Kapton Jack and I are making some games and we need characters so GUESTSTARS GOGOGO. Name, appearance, attacks are all necessary, put more if you wish.

We might also post updates and crap about the games so.

BTW THEY ARE NOT THE SAME GAME AND YOU MUST SIGN UP FOR THEM SEPERATELY.

EDIT: Since you guys have been asking for more information here you go. DOUBLE EDIT: Even more!

My game is going to be made in GM8. It will probably take a while to do. It's very random and kind of Metroid-vania styled--meaning a not-entirely-linear platformer. The genre is not exactly comedy, but not quite serious. It's neither light nor dark. The story is basically this: the former greatest hero in the world (Jack) goes crazy and tries to take over, and a young man named Indigo must stop him.

You can specify whether you want to be a PLAYABLE ALLY, a NON-PLAYABLE ALLY, or A BOSS.

You will need voice acting of the following kinds:
Fighting: grunts and shouts and such, maybe saying the names of some spells or something if you have any.
Platforming: quieter grunts for climbing and whatever.
Dialogue: reactions, such as "Yay!" and "Huh?!" and "Aww, damn..." and crap like that.
Other: I will tell you personally what these lines will be. They'll usually be speech and such.

I'll have a super-specific list of everything needed later.

You should specify your:

NAME
GENDER
POSITION (ally or enemy) (optional)
WEAPONS
ATTACKS (you need from 1 to 3 special attacks and a bunch of regular attacks)
VOICE ACTING (do you want to do it yourself or get me to do it?)

ALSO ALSO THIS IS IMPORTANT you might want to give me appearance or it will be RANDOM R-R-R-RANDOM also maybe give me an age or something. Minor details.

VWING!!!!
Kappn Jack has entered said thread.
HERRO, this is totally real. If you wish to be a playable character, taunts and voice clips may be necessary. I don't know about Sofa's game, but mine will take forever. I'll post a separate thread once I get a sufficient amount of characters/sketches/maps/attack details and the like.

PLEASE CONTRIBUTE! These games could be amazing. :D
 
Dude.

You know I'm in.

Put me in as some guy with sazandora. I'll have a ref of myself up for you soon.
 
I'd be interested (and able to do my own voice acting), but could I get more details on the game? 'Metroid-vanilla' is an okay start, but is this a comedy, serious, realistic, fantastic, far future, near future, what? And for voices, do you hand out dialogue, do you want fighting/hitting noises, how campy can we get?...

No idea for a character yet, but I'm interested. Could you give me more specific information?
Click to expand...

More specific for my game:
It's a fighting/puzzle/platformer/beat um up game. Your character is supposed to be a cartoon version of yourself only, much more badass. I'll need weapons. These could be your own design (PICTURES ARE THE KEY), or real weapons. I'll need taunts. A taunt is something like... In TF2, the Scout says some random shit to make the idiot he stole from feel dumber. Like... WAVE BUH BYE TO YOUR SECRET CRAP, DUMBASS!!! And the like. Motions would be helpful. Special attacks needed, something like... say your weapon was a... RIFLE!!! Then you would say...
Character whips out rifle, smashes it into the opponent, kicks then back, fires 2 shots, JUMPS UP, points down, ZOOM IN ON FACE and FIRE KILL BLOW.
For a RAGE MODE (when the character is at less 20% of health), you would say...
Character runs up to, and kicks opponent into the wall, pulls out WEAPON OF CHOICE and Attacking verb of the weapon of choice the enemy. While all glowing with an aura of COLOR and covered in blood.
Or something.
For POWER SPECIALS:
Sofa's is such:
Turn into a giant couch that opens at the seat cushions like a mouth and spits flaming arm chairs all across the screen.
GETTING BACK TO DESIGNS

The height shouldn't be too specific. Like tall, short, medium, JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF GROWTH HORMONES HAVE YOU BEEN TAKING, and of course: CAPTAIN ATOM!!!!
Clothing should be descriptive, AGAIN I'M MAKING A GAME, I NEED PICTURES!!!!
but if you can say:
The character is a tall male, above average. Spikey dark brown hair, that covers the eyebrows, and part of the eyes. Small, but intelligent looking glasses. A gray checkered hoodie, with the hood worn down, so you can see the entire head. Black jeans, and shoes like the ones at REFERENCE LINK
Color is the only thing that truly needs to be defined if you wish to submit black and white drawing.
PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST AND HIS FUCKING AUNT SADIE, BE DESCRIPTIVE! 1 SENTENCE LIKE "uhh.. tall and brown hair with a shirt and pants." YOU WILL BE PUT IN THE GAME LOOKING LIKE A GREY AMORPHOUS BLOB!!!

Hope this was useful. Follow these and your character should be playable in the final release.
If anything needs to be clarified: PLEASE ASK!



ALSO: I'm not adding pokemon into the game. POKEMON LIKE CREATURES. But not actual pokemon. Pokemon items. BUT NOT POKEMON. Keep this in mind.

Mine is a comedy, like: oh my fucking god, he just got shot and he's dying, but in his dying moments he spewed out rainbows from his anus. It's a random, not TOO linear platformer set around any time period. Full story coming once I get the engine working. And as for hitting noises, it can be as off the wall as you want.
 
EVEN MORE SPECIFIC STUFF IN FIRST POST and more coming later so go look there if you want to be in game.

I like how Jack made his good character description a combination of how the two of us look in real life. XD
