Re: Demosthenes' Mega Thread

Previous Games:

Dark Mage:
One of my earliest games series this is a prehistoric side scroller, featuring one giant level that contains 3 kinds of enemies that respond randomly, one mini-boss, and an epic boss battle at the end. This was also my first game featuring a magic point system that allows you to cast spell that cost magic points, in this game you restore magic points by killing enemies.

Note: this game must be downloaded to work properly!

Gods Quest 1
The first game in my two games series, Gods Quest! This game is probably the game I am most famous for. It featured smooth side-scrolling, well scripted enemies, health bars, and a boss battle. It made the front page, although it met with some constructive criticism, which is overall why I decided to make Gods Quest 2: The Return.

Gods Quest 2: The Return:
By far my best game, although it didn't receive very much attention, Gods Quest 2 was a massively updated version of Gods Quest 1 that incorporated all of the suggestions from fans of Gods Quest 2. I like to think that this is one of the most smooth, well scripted, and polished side-scrolling games on the website. (It's so good it deserves 2 screenshots  wink  ) Its features included 5 levels, 20 enemies, 2 spells, health bars, magic point bars, 3 items, many power-ups, 1 boss, and unique level design!

Music Catcher Demo:
Although it was just a demo the finished product turned out to be a nice simple game. It works even better download. It is based off the flash game Music Catch: http://www.reflexive.com/index.php?PAGE=WebGamePlay&WGID=94

Re: Demosthenes' Mega Thread

Programming Tip of the Day:
10/14/09: If you want to reduce lag in your game, try using as few forever loops as possible!

Past Tips:
10/13/09: KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid), always try to keep your code as simple as possible so that later when go back to your code and so that you have a strong foundation for the rest of your program.

Re: Demosthenes' Mega Thread

Hiring Me:

I've decided to put my programming skills out for hire. I'm totally out of ideas for what to program, so I've decided to make things for users who need help.

How it works:
1. Post The name of the project you want help for, it's idea, and any artwork that is relevant. NOTE: I will not make a project if I don't have the art I need!
2. You will be added to the waiting list (although I have full veto power and under no obligation to work on your project). Once I get to your project on the waiting list I will ask you more in-depth about it and then start programming.
3. Wait until I post the finished project under my test account ( http://scratch.mit.edu/users/demosthenes_test ) I will let you know on this thread when I've completed your project.

Waiting List:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.


Request Projects I am working on now:

And FYI, that was a really primitive movement style in the demo, it's completely changed in the full version.

No need for paying  wink  Just the joy of programming is enough (although a little credit wouldn't go amiss)

Okay, if Mr. X doesn't get his full request in by the end of the day I will start work on your request. Could you please put a more in-depth breakdown of the games, I don't play CP.. Thanks  smile

Re: Demosthenes' Mega Thread

Why don't you make an rpg based on gods quest 2? It looks like most of what you expect in an rpg is already there.

That idea has a lot of potential! I think I'll work on that . . . sorry if I don't complete everyone's requests soon . . .
