Game idea - CPCanabalt?

[Devilmarkus]

Take any kind of jump an run game, glue the joystick to the right position. Now delete nearly all features of that jump an run game... what do you get?    .........     Right! Canabalt! 

- glue the joystick to the right position...

Canabalt is one button controlled. Just jump

[arnoldemu]

I keep thinking cannibal. But that's different 

Anyone for cannibal-alt?

you have to run and eat?

[Devilmarkus]

Why not??

I'm also for "Cauldron XII - Don't drink and fly"

[McKlain]

Lets do it! 

[Devilmarkus]

Lol ok...

Idea:
In Cauldron 1 you have been playing the hag.
In Cauldron 2 you have been playing the pumpkin.

So:
Cauldron XII - Don't Drink And Fly: Game idea:

You are playing the broom.

The hag is flying on you, but moves randomly. (Because she's drunken)

You have to steer against her movements and avoid obstacles, shoot enemies etc...

You (the broom) have also to find some ingredients, that you can mix a spell, so the hag will be down-to-earth.

use AGD!!!!!!

Make this game

[Devilmarkus]

I'm really too dumb for such things... But:

Perhaps we find a coder?

[TFM]

AGD can't scroll, but a coder could be found...

I am really really too busy to help at this time.

Still, it's a great idea for a game; and given it can probably be done for cheap, in terms of memory, maybe it could be an entry for the next 16KB compo

One year ago I saw a Canabalt clone running on the CPC. I would say it was 70% finished, the 50fps parallax scrolling and the animation of the figure were just great! Sometimes it's sad, that such very impressive and already working projects disappear after a time without getting finished completely

[arnoldemu]

Perhaps the coder/team got stuck on something and need some help or inspiration to complete it?

It is sad because I think it's close enough to finish.

"My plan was just as planned, and perfect, I created the perfect game engine, fast, smooth and multilayered in only 64k... this clone was even better than its original !
Millions would bow before my genius and CPC would shine above C64 at last... then I realised I only had one grey and so this was due to be epic failure.... damn it, how could I fail so close...
I'll got you next time C64 !!! Damn you !! it was foolproof, foolproof !!! I shall get my revenge one day, and even speccy shall bow before me for all the previous humiliations.."

[Gryzor]

Hm, I wonder if there's anything that can be done in terms of persuasion...

You can always use a Plus

Maybe we should ask him to finish it next month . Well... last time I saw it, it didn't run on my / real machines, because it was coded on an emulator, which has a imprecise CRTC emulation. The demo itself was already _very_ impressive and it would be awesome if he would work on it again.

[Prodatron]

Yes, let's try it! 

[MaV]

Two are not enough! Let's form a triumvirate and ask him together next month. >:-)

[Gryzor]

Count me in.

[TFM]

So... who is coding it actually?

Damn you keyboard scan bug !!!! another epic fail.... I'll got you C128 !!!! on day...

[arnoldemu]

So... who is coding it actually? 

not me!

So... who is coding it actually? 

Excellent question! But one where those who know about it were sworn to silence.
