 Now looking for in house game testers!If you want to be a game tester please send me a PM. Your responsibilities will include checking the alpha spreadsheet for recent changes and downloading the most recent build of the game. You will also need to test for bugs on recent changes, and in general, and fill out the bug reports efficiently. I'm looking for people who could probably at least test for bugs once a day. I will only be selecting a small group of testers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am developing a new Something Awful RPG game called Something Awful: The Lost King. The game's main plot line is about how King Lowtax of the land of Something Awful has gone missing, and it is up to you to find him! Each sub forum will be a zone in the game, and each zone will be populated by the wonderful posters of these great forums. To do this I need your help. I am looking for more posters to populate this gay world of mine, and also looking for consultants who are regular posters in sub forums that can help me along with "in" jokes so that everyone on the forums can feel special while playing. Gameplay is still being worked on and is open to being changed. I welcome your suggestions and ideas. If you would like to be apart of the game post in this thread. Tell me what your preferred quest line would be and what zone you would like to reside in. Tell me any other details you'd like me to know about your character. If you would like to consult and help with zone creation ideas, post here and let me know what sub forum you are a regular poster in. If you just have a good idea, post it. Here is a very short preview of what Tutorial Island looks like. I am not trying to show too much of anything because I'd like to keep most of this under wraps until it is released. Estimated release time is around 2 months from now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXjYvuPh2XU Game Play Footagehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmdu7fXcbx0 First animated cut scene questhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkAihgpyBdI Windows 98 fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Jul 23, 2015 |

The Protagonist posted:Can you get party members? We'd need Caro as the undead battle cleric, Kyoon as the mentally ill mentalist Yes you can add additional members to your party. But they will be rare. I'd like to keep it a solo experience. You'll probably only gain party members for specific quests.

All good ideas so far guys. Heres a few answers to some questions. 1. Yes this is a real game and I do intend on spending some time on it and making it worth playing and relatively in depth. 2. Yes Mangosteen will be a consumable item. 3. The mods/admins will be zone bosses in their own special castles. And some more stuff no one asked about 1. THS doesn't have much of a choice because it's already been decided he runs a gay brothel. 2. I am actually taking all of your poo poo posting input seriously and will do my best to include all of you in the game. Top tier popular posters or people with known forums drama (eg. Microwave) will take priority. I can only do so much.

I went with this as the default player avatar. Also the first quest has been added to the game. As well as the legendary item [Ring of Goatse]. I should have a quick preview of the Port of GBS up either late late tonight or tomorrow afternoon.

The first quest is in the game. Just something really really simple to show off the quest log, how to look at what quest items you have, and what completing a quest looks like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5beq2HMzGk Not shown: the XP Gained window I put in after making the video cause im dumb.

 A worthy quest indeed. Also concerning [poo poo Post] in the screen shot WFP posted. There are 3 items you can turn in for different amount gold rewards. poo poo Post, Gassed Thread, and Golden Manbaby. You can go to a vendor and turn them in for gold. They will drop off random monsters, and are rewards for doing particular quests.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi_LpsaS5ag Just another quick video of a different quest. Yes, these videos are of very simply quests. Just keep in mind this is the very first place you encounter and is a boring market place that isn't supposed to have in depth quests. Things will get much more complex after you leave the Port of GBS and head into the actual land of GBS. Just thought you guys might want to see.

CaptainSarcastic posted:There should be a random encounter with Poverty Ghost, and if you don't respond with "Stay Safe Poverty Ghost" in a given time period then all your gold should disappear. Poverty Ghost is slated to be a common enemy however I don't think I can make it take all your money. I can however put in a special ability called "Stay Safe Poverty Ghost" that instantly kills it.

Ok I'm gonna need some more suggestions for common monsters that you'd find walking around or in dungeons. Try and keep the ideas broad. For example, Poverty Ghost, Garbage Dick, poo poo Poster, Forums Superstar, etc.

Also now excepting submissions for common enemies as mentioned before by people brain storming. I'm trying to make it ever so slightly more collaborative with you goons (and god will it save me some time if I don't have to make up 50 enemies myself). Here is the opening example enemy Garbage Dick. Try and keep it around that resolution height, width can be kinda whatever. They must be PNG images and have a transparent background, unless the whole picture is intensely funny and needs the background part. If you want it to be floating a bit and not so "cloes" to the player as seen in the tutorial video in the OP just put the enemy higher in the picture to create a floating/far away effect. Looking forward to your solutions. If you want to name the moves they can do I can also implement that.

I need some volunteers to be gay sex slaves in THS's Brothel. I am working on that tonight and need members in there. Before volunteering you should know there wont be a ton of interaction between you. You'll simply be saying one line/phrase to the player. some variation of "Hi I'm [you]. Would you be interested in widening my rear end in a top hat tonight?" or if you have something specific to say let me know.

Jeez guys. I make some videos and release some screenshots of zones and all you fuckers do is ignore them  18 views on the THS quest? nearly 6,000 views on the thread? Get your poo poo together goons. I'm putting gently caress loads of effort into this. You could at least tell me what you think of the released content.

limaCAT posted:I'll try to do them this week, but keep in mind I can work with my tablet only on evenings and early mornings. Nothing set in stone. I predict somewhere around 2 months. So you have plenty of time. I also encourage anyone else with art to submit it as well if you'd like to see it in the game  E: if it is actual drawings and not sprite work then it will be used as enemy art. So try and develop something that would be the image for an enemy while fighting them in battle mode. I'M LOOKING AT YOU APPLEWHITE. Space Tits and Space rear end are already gonna be in the game but I could always use more fun stuff
