Gentlemen.
This is the moment we've all been waiting for. More than 1.5 years since I was like "hey Matt, iwbtg was fun.. wouldn't it be kewel if I made an engine in game maker for this? Maybe make a couple of levels, I'm sure some people would be interested in playing it...."
*play epic music*
DUN DUN DUN DUN DA-BURRRR

^All download links of all version can be found there.
Please note the text file that can be found in the "achievements" folder. Note that the first few people with enough skills to complete the entire game with ALL TEN secret items will be granted super powers. (not really, just can't think of an appropriate prize yet)
You know the routine:
Shift - Jump/Dbl Jump
Z - Shoot
Left/Right - Move
F2 - start from beginning
R - start from last save
Q - die
Alt+F4 / Esc Key / X in corner - Quit
[/font]
Hey so like.. me and some university mates are completely obsessed with iwbtg and decided to make a tribute/fangame.
The game has (we hope) original level design and gameplay.. we've gone for the whole 'misdirection' style puzzle a lot, but at the beginning we've just put a 'shit flies everywhere randomly at you' style puzzle, to get the player used to the new jumping engine (which is slightly different.. there's a lot more emphasis on the variable jumping, hold shift to jump higher)
Games ripped off include:
Destruction II, Wonder Boy III, Portal, Pacman, Doom as well as music from Lylat Wars and the original iwbtg.
Currently, we have 3 different paths, and one of the bosses is done (the most obvious path.. just go left)
Here's the Alpha:

it seems too time consuming, i think it needs more parts where you have the ability to shoot him...
looks good though.

@Zaraki: Believe it or not.. I only started this game on Saturday the 11th.. I'm just calling it an alpha because it's the first pre-release.
@rad: The boss is just a pattern memorisation thing, and at the very end it goes into a state where it's easy to hit. Basically, I don't want the player to kill it before reaching the end of it's finite state machine.

I cant beat the boss since it's too low in the last phase :( It's not So hard to get there, but still :(
I can't realize how to finish the plane screen, when I go past the three spikes (middle one goes up) the plane comes and bombaz me to death.

About that save thing you have to just press R and you will be teleported were you were last time.
That plane screen you have to go down, not right. So dont go past the three spikes.

Okay,. I found a glitch exactly here. If you save there, you can't move either left or right unless you jump first. The Kid just walks on his place.

Found 2 glitches, sorry agn.
Jump from the screen befoer boss to the one before it, youll hover in the air, the when you go back you die.
Stand extremely close to a spike on its right side facing left, then press right and you die. (found by Koppis, he forgot his password and can no longer get to these forums :P)
Btw @rad, I love the first screen of right path too :D man I lol'd so much..
Finished (all?) 3 pathes two times :D
Time for some more editing. Check this pic out.

Post by: tijit on October 25, 2008, 09:00:04 pm
Yeah, there is a 'middle' path,I hope someone other than akutsi found it.. and once you collect the three keys (from beating the bosses) that door with the green lock in the second frame on the left? you'll be able to open that, or it'll become a platform moving up, or something. Haven't decided yet.
@Zaraki: The first glitch you posted.. with the plane scene, you shot the plane down too quickly: That's not a bug, if you shoot the plane before it destroys the platforms out of that room, you're stuck.
The spike bug I already knew about.. couldn't quite work out what was causing, changing the player's mask just messed up more stuff so I'll work it out later.
Watching Akutsi's vid.. he took a shotcut in one section I hadn't anticipated.. so I gotta try and stop the player from doing that.

Now that you mention it, I gotta work out what the items are going to look like. The boss rewards are keys.. I think I'll just have secret items as weapons, like in iwbtg, but put some easter egg graphic or something in the rooms where you find them.
@DimJim: You can't get past the Doom thing.. for some reason when I compiled it with GM7 the collisions changed or something, and the boss hits you when he spins from right to left when he's not supposed to. The bug is fixed, and the boss will be fully playable in the next demo (which will contain all 3 bosses so far, and perhaps the beginning of the path to another one)
I'm going to have an underwater section, where the player will be able to double jump all the time.
Not entirely sure why my saving system is bugging out, but oh well. The main bug is where you sometimes get caught in walls when jumping up or falling down from one room to the next, I know what causes this, and may have a fix for it in the next release.
Post by: Zaraki on October 26, 2008, 04:59:34 am
uhmm. suggestion, can you do it so that saving also saves the places of portals? That would make the portal part bit more comfortable.
And--
If you ever need beta testers I wanna be One ;D
Post by: tijit on October 29, 2008, 03:55:54 am
I'll release a beta once I've finished the boss roundoff, and the 3rd boss path.
Instead of having a menu, you start in a room where you pick your difficulty level, but you actually get to control the player while doing it. So, the harder the difficulty you wanna do, the harder it is to actually get to that difficulty level.. if you catch what I'm talking about. You'll see when I release the demo ;)

Okay, so all I gotta do is add finish the third boss, and add round off for that, and the beta is ready for releasage. The third boss is based on an old nes game called 'bubble bobble'. It's underwater, so you have lower gravity, and can double jump all the time. That made for some interesting spike and platform puzzles, needless to say.
Stop posting glitches zaraki :/

I only have played the right path so far. Im actually kind of proud that I got past the portals part without having to look anything up. Good thing my room-mate and I have been getting baked and playing Portal a lot lately =p.

@Stephen42: And you haven't even played pacman yet. About the jumping.. well I might make the maximum vertical velocity of the player a little lower, but other than that it's intentional.
Also don't worry guys... I got the greatest idea ever for bubble bobble. You.. just.. wait..

I need feedback on the two new bosses, I think one is too easy and one is a bit too annoyingly unpredictable (you'll know which is which when you get up to them) and I need feedback from you guys.
Don't forget to play through the doom path as well, the round-off in that section is quite the monster ;)
Plus, you need all three keys to get to the next section...
Saves should be compatible, but don't count on it. If you do load off an old one, save straight away or it might mess up.

Why not just have both sets of controls? Should be anything wrong with that.
So, now you can also use A and D to move, W to jump, and not sure what alt shoot should be. Somebody said Down key, but I might make it the right Control button instead.
@chaosrain: That method wouldn't work, because I've got keyboard mapping in one section, and everything will just become messed up.
I may have another release today or tomorrow, with the modified controls and a couple of sections after what was in the beta.
@rad: You are stuck, basically. Two solutions:
1. Start again
2.

Although I will change the trigger for what's supposed to happen in that section, so that player's can't get stuck like that in future.

Anyways, I just played the game... And it was awesome. I vote for this game as the best IWBTG fangame ever. It's so good it depresses me a bit that it's name is "I wanna be the fangame". It deserves something way more official, as it feels a lot like the true sequel to IWBTG. Now you only need a storyline. =)
Also, the second set of controls could be:
A - Left
D - Right
V - Shoot
B - Jump
But thats only a suggestion.

Aww... that's not actually how you're supposed to beat the pacman level.. if you keep following the yellow dude like that you're supposed to just get crushed imbetween the two guys and die :/ Never mind.. that way looks pretty tricky anyway, but here's what I intended for the player to do:

SECOND EDI T(S):
I fixed up the bobble boss a bit, and changed a couple of bits on the portal path.
Also, that bug to do with getting stuck in the walls in vertical room transitions is now fixed.

Im playing through the game on Hard right now. I also love how you made it so you have to get through the opening screen just to pick your difficulty.
Can't wait for more. Going to continue on. :fruit:

Man that was fucking.......i mean.........I both love this game, and want you to die at the same time for what you just put me through.

Also found a glitch with the tentacool. If you die right after it uses the attack, it sometimes starts you back at the last save with the reverse keys still on. I had to restart the game twice because of it.

Yeah, thats what I was trying to do. But I always got wiped out before I could get a jump off. I guess after 30 or so tries I just kinda assumed I was doing it wrong.......maybe not.
Either way, cant wait for more of this game. In my opinion its much harder than the original. SOOOOOOOOOOOO many jumps that require pinpoint accuracy in this one.
Post by: tijit on November 08, 2008, 05:03:11 am
I changed tentacool a lot, the poison things at aim at you, so there's a lot more dodging, and instead of the confusion thing affecting you when it's on the screen, you'll actually have to get hit by it first to become confused. There'll be little question marks that bob around your head ;)
Spiked corridor on crack you say? I like the sound of that.
Well, the post-boss scenes are supposed to be really hard, like in the original. They just seem harder because by now you're probably really good at the iwbtg scenes. Now you see one of the reasons I changed the vertical motion slightly, so that there's still stuff you gotta get used to.
Any other glitches people can think of?

Uhh.. good luck with the next bit.
@Game: Nice work with all that. You can expect the beta v2 to be released tomorrow, with a couple of new levels.. so don't delete your save..
But when/if you beat the new stuff, go back and do the original paths again, they've been modified, and I just finished adding the first secret item room.
@Yuping: That's one of my Misdirection puzzles. Stop and think for a sec, the room you start in has absolutely nothing that kills you, and there's a huge empty space.. I recommend investigating.

PS I'm not going to bother with spoiler tags, so if you haven't played it don't read. You should probably know all this crap by now though, if you've been reading this thread. Anyway!
I played until the Doom boss in the demo, and I liked it, thought it was pretty fun. Got the beta and took the right path. I really liked most of it. The Portal parts were pretty good, I liked the snake room solution as well. The water part, however... not a fan. That was the first time I had to stop because I was getting so frustrated. I also had to come here to figure out what to do when you got the the Bubble Bobble boss. A suggestion I have that might help guide the player to the solution a bit more is to make sure that attack kills The Kid (The Girl?). That way, they'll have to find the way.
Anyways I like it so far, gonna keep playing for a bit more and then it's on to more Dead Space or Fallout 3!
*EDIdiot*
Ok, room after Bubble Bobble, jumping out of the water is incredibly annoying.
*EDIT*
Did... did my edit... get changed to an idiot...?? Ahhh.. after previewing I see it's an automatic function... beat the Doom boss.. What's the game reference from the next section?

I feel like posting some walk-throughs of my own now.. on very hard.
@Levirules: With the water bit, what's the worst part of it, is it just hard getting used to the new water motion? I wanted a hard section right before the boss, so the player was, to an extent, used to the different motion system.
And yes, going back to normal after being used to unlimited jumps low grav is supposed to be really difficult :P I have, however changed that bit slightly.
The pyramid is from wonder-boy iii.. where a lot of the music and tiles are from. I like that game a lot :D

why doesn't it have an X in the top right-hand corner?
the cacodemon music should be the theme for E1M1 from Doom.
Post by: tijit on November 08, 2008, 09:49:20 pm
1. Game Maker :/ If I set it so the X is there, the esc button would make the game automatically quit, and that sucks.
2. Neg. Lylat Wars music is so much more awesome and epic.. and adds to the hilarity of it all as well.
@LeviRules: That spike at the water transitions bit? I already removed it, it was annoying me as well. So, it won't be there in the next release.
In the next release, I'm also slowing the frame-rate slightly, so the vertical velocity won't seem as fast. This won't mess things up because I think the player and the bullets moved slightly too fast anyway. Hopefully the timing won't get messed because of this.
Now.. STORYLINE! I actually had thought of this a bit, but it was always my intention to make the player fight a certain thing that would kill you in the original, but you had no control over. That's my only clue.
As for the name of it, I was thinking of calling this 'i wanna be the kid', as like a prequel, but iwstk is the official prequel.. even if it's not finished or even being worked on :P
You guys can help suggest new names for the game if you want.

oh look, the beta v2:
http://www.mediafire.com/?iktyrwtjyvz (http://www.mediafire.com/?iktyrwtjyvz)(Had to change uploader.. stupid filesize limit)
So, lots of changes and a couple of new levels, as well as another filed called 'controls.exe', which you can change your controls, it's pretty self-explanatory, just click a button the press the button on the keyboard that corresponds to that.
The bubble bobble boss is now challenging (I hope) or at least harder than it was before...<insert generic "that's what she said" comment here> the tentacool is fixed.
I added the first secret item. I'm going to have 6 secret items in the levels released thus far, 2 on each path. One will be a potion of colour corresponding to the key you get from beating the boss at the end of that path, and the other will be random, probably from the game you're currently in, eg cake. (thx to whoever suggested that btw)
Enjoy :D

In iwbtg, the secret items are usually in a single frame of their own. In iwbt fangame however, the secret items are going to have an extended 2-3 frames of their own, with huge bits of optional level design that people can skip if all they want to do is play through the game. One of the secret items (so far) even has it's own boss.
I'll give you a clue: "Well you found me.. was it worth it? ..."
Another thing I'm doing (which you may all find evil) is a room all by itself, in the final castle, with a little sign that says 'No Bows', and if you try to skip by it in medium, you get zapped. So you have to play on Hard, Very Hard, or Impossible to actually finish the game.

I was thinking more along the lines of a cave-story type ending, where there's an extended ending, but you can only do it on hard or above. Also, I'll make it so that some secret items cannot be obtained on medium.

Ummm.. yeah I wasn't really going to have dialogue as a huge thing in this game.. but seeing as so many people are willing to help out with that.. I might change my mind about that.
Okay, so I guess the three of you can fight over the following 3 voices:
-Potions Master (a key character in doing the non-trivial end to the game.. although this was supposed to be female.. the sprite was going to be of the witch from a link to the past, the one making mushroom brew)
-A mini boss.. not sure what yet
-Gary ("E.g. GO! PIKACHU!" and stuff)

there's a grammatical error at 0:27.
also, this is probably a stupid suggestion, but why not make the secret items do something? for example, one could make your bullets a few pixels larger. They wouldn't need to be big things - in fact, they shouldn't be - but it would mean there was an actual point to finding them rather than a bit of extra content after having beaten the Guy.
Post by: tijit on November 13, 2008, 01:16:26 am
And yeah.. the secret items in this game do actually do something. Here is a motivational list:
1) you get access to the alternate ending
1) you have to go through more bosses and level design and stuff to get them.. I mean isn't that why you're playing it?
1) they're cool
1) yeah.. I've run out of stuff to put on this list
1) CAKE!

Beta v3 has even more of this:
-5 Secret paths (including an extra 2 bosses)
-One of the 'endings' to the game, including the final fight with Sticky Keys
-bug fixes:
--No more bugs with vertical-moving platforms (eg you don't fall through them anymore.. issue with double jumping without single jumping off of them has been fixed)
--uhh lots more I just can't remember =P

Hi. I enjoyed making (and playtesting) the chase scene later on in the game so much I made another one, only this time something's chasing you instead of vice-versa. It's a secret area, so you'll have to look around to find it, however here's a screenshot (haven't posted a screen in a while):

That's a reference to Deus Ex.. in case anyone didn't get it. Except instead of giving Alex the Kidd cake and money.. you just capped a Zyme dealer.

Can you do it so that when you download a new version you don't need to clear the game again from the beginning?
What do you mean by secret paths? like you can go to some strange places from portal part or something?
Uhh I love this game..
Oh and I would also like that you would make tentacool the way it was. When I saw Koppis beat Gary, its Supersonic missed every time expect 1. :( make it so it hits you every time :)
Lots of questions!
Hope you answer soon!

YES!
I'm playing on Hard now, and I'm at bub, and I've already beaten middle and left path!

The keylift screen transistion should not kill you. Either have it openly state that you need to jump or make it safe to drop down.
The Bubble Bobble boss wasn't to my liking. I'm sorry, I just don't like the idea of it. Plus when I first fought, I had assumed he was glitched.
I absolutely despise the difficulty select screen. It's a cool idea in theory, but it just doesn't work. :(
Please, just put spikes or solid walls at parts you don't want us to go to. I don't want to have to die randomly because I think I'm going the right way when it's just a killer dead-end.

Sorry, I thought I was being clear. Let me rephrase it.
Sometimes, there is a gap in a wall that it looks like you can go through (like the gap the giant swinging wrecking ball makes when it first comes in) but it kills you instantly with nothing showing that it can indeed kill.

And Koppis you are wrong.
The game is really really good as it is now. Do not change it (much).

There could be a block in these places, to make v. hard a bit moe harder, I found these places a bit too easy for v.hard.

Edit: For some reason, after beating VH I started again on Medium and beat it, but this time I saved the save files, I have a "save1(V.Hard)" and a "save2(Medium)". And I'll do a hard also.
it's great that I can use the save saves with newer versions ;D
I think you've already finished bosses and all that, but is there/could there be a chrono trigger/FF level or levels? I can't believe there aren't any in any games. they're best games ever made.
Post by: tijit on November 15, 2008, 05:11:18 am
I'll look up chrono trigger, I've never played it.. and there is a reference to FF at the moment.. the music in the pacman section is the original final fantasy battle music.

You try to make my favourite game badUhh.. please tell me that's joke, right?
@Sarah: When you walk off the screen and die.. hmm. I guess I can put something there to stop the player doing that... but I don't know. It'll look just weird if a huge demolishing ball crushes a chunk of the level away, only to have it replaced with spikes a moment later. I thought it would just be common sense not to jump out of the level, and even if you do, you'll just die, and then you're obviously not going to try it again :P

Hey where is the secret item? I just beat Hard again, now I have medium, hard and V.hard at the demo save wall.
Uhh, could you fix.. 3 glitches, I think you know them, but have forgotten to fix them...
1. the room before the doom boss. If you jump to the screen before it, you are stuck in the air and can do nothing.
2.from the first screen, if you jump to the right path, you will be stuck inside a wall there and again, can do nothing.
3. And then ofc making the moving platforms so that you can Not fall through them. I know it's really hard, but please.
Edit!!!
Omg first Impossible run and I already got to the doom boss!!!
yes! I got the green key, then died in the room after that. Pretty good huh for the 1st run? ;D
edit3:
On Impossible, right path, I got to the underwater world's 1st room. anyone gotten that far on right path?

Yeah, you missed the final boss. I actually did the same thing myself. >_>
If you open your save file with Notepad and change the third and fourth lines to "player.x=40" and "player.y=500.00", you should be able to make the kid spawn back to the beginning of that area, so you can try fighting the final boss without starting over.

H) No, but seriously, B and C are serious. *edit* And D is also serious.

My bro showed me how to record the output from your sound in Windows with Audacity, so I turned the music off in IWBTG and ripped it myself. I'd still like to know if you have any good sources for wav's though.

@Samson: You were not supposed to be able to dodge those cherries when you're moving to the right.. I don't how the hell you managed to get past every single one :0
I almost did. Before I found that you could ride the psyche bar, I cleared four out of five. Somehow.
Anyway, I finished all the new content, collected all the items, and completed three of the trials. It's all good, but why does the end of trial 3 kill me? Not done yet?
The StickyKeys boss made me laugh. Hard and a lot. :P It wasn't too hard once you know what you were doing, but it came up after it split into 4 and killed me and I screamed and then laughed. You're a clever boss designer. :)

The stuff left of the pacman screen was intense. Whats this about 3 trials? Did I miss something?
BTW: Yeah.......jumping through those cherries is hard. I was starting to curse your name for making me do that. Got through all 5 jumps twice. Once to see what happened when I left the screen, and again to make sure it wasn't some crazy glitch.

Well.. I guess I need to fix up that falling cherries room. I want to keep it how it is now, only so it's not possible to dodge them if you don't jump down to that platform... however getting that exactly right has proven to be trickier than expected. I'll work on it.. or just outright change it, if it proves to be too difficult :P
Also, trials number 2 and 3 are too easy, I'll set about making them more difficult. The main problem about the second one is the zelda flying block things are picked pseudo-randomly.. and that sucks.

For all of those who are good enough (See; insaneley good) to reach the ending credits, I'm the Matt you'll see there for helping in level design. I designed most of the portal levels, and have been doing some close playtesting and level design advice with Tijit while making the game.
It's great to se everyone liking the game. Tijit's rediculously good at the game itself, so I'm here trying to be the voice of reason for us others that can't make the jump down to mother brain first time, every time.
I'm chalking up a few ideas for a series of mushroom kingdom levels now, so watch out for those in a future release.
Again, it's great to see all the posative response, Tijit's game is (in my opinion) a great recreation of the original, with some seriously fantastic enemies and unique encounters (Why does no one mention the chest? I thought it was great!).

Beat Trial 2 on my first try. That one may need a difficulty boost. Trial 3 was pretty nasty too, but no worse than a regular hard screen.
I must say, I LOOOOOVE all the extra stuff you are putting into this game? Where do you plan to tie all this into the story? Is the game over after Sticky Keys with just a TON of "bonus" stuff to do? Or is this all going to tie back into a big ending that can only be accessed if you did everything?

I wanted it to be funny, but anticlimactic at the same time, to make players want to go back and try out the other ending. Thoughts?
Post by: Sarah on November 18, 2008, 08:28:04 pm
The ending was well done, not to mention slightly frustrating. Appropriate, since it is supposed to be the "bad" ending.

Hey.. I just wanted to know from the people who finished the game (or watched the 3rd part of the walkthrough): What did you think of the ending?
I wanted it to be funny, but anticlimactic at the same time, to make players want to go back and try out the other ending. Thoughts?
Well, It wasn't bad, but really short...
You should make a part where you should be on v.hard to get a even longer game.

Tijit, when's the next version going to come? :)Well, considering during my exam-revision time I spent around 5-6 hours a day working on it, I don't think I could go any faster. I'm having a quick break for a few days, then I'm getting back stuck into it again.
As for secrets.. yeah I'll probably chuck in a couple more, but I want to get the actual game done first. Me and Matt are gonna sit down and draw out a couple of levels.. like he said, there's going to be a mushroom kingdom section.
I came to a bit of a setback last time I worked on it.. I had objects that bounce vertically or horizontally (like.. those spiky things from zelda) but unfortunately, they won't stay coordinated, the timing becomes slightly different every time each one bounces, and that unbalances it all a LOT.. so I was wondering if anyone has collisions code such that it all stays coordinated.. I don't want to have to spend hours trying to work it out.
Post by: Samson007 on November 19, 2008, 08:33:34 pm
I always thought that a mario setting would make for some good IWBTG screens. Is there going to be a mario boss? Maybe you have to take down Mario and Luigi while they're shooting fireballs at you =p.

Post by: YuPony on November 20, 2008, 10:51:35 am
Or a guitar hero room where you'd have to dodge the notes, then at the end you must escape because the last note is a 5 note chord.
That's a good idea, but how about making each note a platform that rises up and if you reach the top you'll die, and the song is Through the fire and flames...<.<

The doom-boss used to have more health.. but I got rid of some of it. I might give him a couple extra hit points again though.
All this guitar hero talk gave me an idea.. the player has to move based on sequence patterns at the top of the screen. If he strays from this, he's dead.
Post by: Koppis on November 23, 2008, 07:47:31 am
No you can't. I've also beat SK and cockdemon before those parts too. Tij, make them take around 15 moar hits to kill? :)
Ok, 20/s
I got to the portal part with the disappearing blocks and missed the orange portal.

Post by: Levirules on November 23, 2008, 11:40:53 am
edit. To expand on that idea that you posted a couple posts up, maybe there are buttons at the bottom of the screen, when you press the buttons, it destroys the note, if not, the note could crush you. Or, the un-destroyed note could fire a delicious fruit at you when it reaches the bottom.

Well me and Tijit got together today and I worked out 5 or 6 Mushroom Kingdom screens while he churned them out in glorious IWBTG-O-Vision. Rest assured that they are hard, but awesome. If you're a fan of Super Mario you should find plenty of things to keep you happy. Yes, I did make him include the World 1-1 music (As much as he didn't want to).
As for a boss, I have something really great in mind for that, but we'll have to see if there's room for one. I think there should be. be prepared for something beyond epic.

I noticed one bug, and I don't think anyone else has pointed this out-- when I beat the Doom boss, I stood on the right side of the screen as he was dying. You know the blocks that fall down and create the exit pathway? Well, one of them basically fell on top of me. It didn't kill me, but it made me stuck in place with a block on top of my head. I couldn't move or jump or anything. So I just had to respawn and beat the boss over again. Which I was glad to do, because it was a cool boss. But yeah, you might want to fix that so the blocks don't interact with the players or something.
Great game, all in all, though.

As for the boss, I've thrown down what I'd like to see on the table and we have some sprites going on, but it's really up to Tijit now to see how he can take some of the ideas I've put down in theory and turn them into an awesome working boss.
I'm not worried - He's pretty good at that.
Have faith guys; Tijit is working very hard on the game, and it's coming along great.

Well, I thought I'd just let people know:
This is now the most popular game I've ever created. The beta v3 has received (at current count) 2,673[/i] downloads.. which is staggering, considering next in line is anticitizen 0.7, with only 299 downloads. I couldn't believe it when I saw that number.. man I'm still getting over the shock :p
Anyway, now I'm in the habit of making games again I'll probably pick this project up again at some stage. To round it off, and give it more polish.
In the meantime, have a look at the 3-or-so-day game I've been working on: by clicking here (http://robosquid.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=667) (IT'SIN_3D_ZOMIGOSH111)
I'll post a proper topic for that up on these forums when I release the next demonstration.
Like it says in that link, I haven't done any creative game design or anything like that in the past 3 months or so, I am a lazy bastard I know.

you can deactivate objects that are off screen, not sure if you already have though. anyway its a cool game.
I've been programming games for 5 years, trust me I've made it as efficient as possible. The most common problems for lag in this game is frames with too many tiles (gfx card issue I believe), and the music seems to dominate crappy processors.

The game is very fun, but I reccomend not having the music restart every time you die as it does in IWTBTG. In a gmae where you are supposed to continually die, listening to kust the beginning of a song really gets annoying.

Just wait till you get to the mario level, world 1-1 music. There are bits in that level in which you hear the first 6 notes (you know what they are) over and over again, coz this shit is more insane than the ghosts && goblins level. Matt will confirm this.
STUFF:
We (Matt && I) were going for a bowser or peach boss at the end of this Mario section*. I cannot get anything to work right.. and I really gotta tie this game off. I probably won't be designing any more bosses for this reason. The game was never meant to be anywhere near as long as iwbtg. There was going to be 4 bosses, 3+sticky keys, and it'll stay that way. (grim reaper doesn't really count, that's more of a mini boss)
Sticky Keys will be made more difficult and moved to the very end. The boss will not clip bullets, I'll change it so the cancel button in the middle does. I'm getting rid of that turd rainbow laser attack too.
I'm cutting out a few frames (e.g. the first frame in the desert area never worked, and "The only cherry.." frame will be removed coz it sucks). The very beginning needs to be different, but I'm not sure what to do instead.. a lot of the world will need re-structuring. The pacman bit sucks btw, people need to stop telling me it's clever.
I'm putting in a menu instead of the interactive difficulty select, and multiple save states. Possibly boss rush (but that may not work if there's only 4 bosses, I'll probably include grim reaper and GLaDOS).
Matt is gonna design a cutscene of some kind for the beginning, too. We might change the kid slightly, I want him to have a blue cape.
*I also wanted a mecha-spagettio boss but that got scratched.

Post by: Matt on February 19, 2009, 07:34:36 am
Peach was going to be the only boss that I'd designed a majority of, and to be honest, I thought it was going to be awesome. The original plan was the following:
The player would pop out in the mario world at some late stage in the game and finish a series of screens there were from the original mario game. At the end of this section, the player enters the world 1 Bowser boss room, which is an exact copy, but with a massivley enlarged bowser. He proceeds to roar and look intimidating while the player Gears up for the craziest fight against a fire breating turtle ever...
And Just then bowser's impales on a pink umbrella from behind, and as his body drops to the ground (And into the background during the fight), Peach Emerges, Roars (Godzilla's Scream from the original film), her eyes catch on fire and start shooting lazers, throwing tuirnips, and generally messing your shit up.
It was going to be crazy. I'm a little dissapointed that it's not going to make it into the game, but I know it's great enough that the game doesnt even need it.
A pimpin' website is also in the works for symltaneous release with the game, so it has it's own home. More to come!
P.s: Cutscene in planning will also be awesome.

Some other kewl games around that time (or maybe a little earlier) would be Gubble and Zoombinis, but both would be a little hard to implement I guess. The music from Gubble would be awesome, but I can only find music for Gubble 2 on youtube :/
EDIT:
Everybody celebrate the 8,000th download.
Soon, the number of downloads will be OVER NINE THOUSAND

If all goes to plan, the final version should be released within a month. Maybe a little longer, if my playtesters give me a lot to do.
Check this out - A guy called OverTheGun did a full live video playthrough of the game. It's quite hilarious, I recommend it.

People that have been following the game for a while will still be way ahead of the game when the final version comes out, but expect to see plenty of new and changed areas.
All in all, development's going well, stuff's getting done, and the game is starting to play and look polished and smooth. We're getting there!

oh my fucking god the grimp reaper is ripping off my balls and feeding them to giant clones of docter eggman, and raping my ass with his stupid scyth of death at the SAME TIME!
That fight's been made much cooler now. A few of the timing elements have changed, we're added new (Awesome) music, and have updated the graphics scheme of that entire area. It's much more fun, and about the same dicfficulty, though on more than one occasion I've beaten him with only a single square tile left to stand on.

In fact, a whole lot of that area has been changed, whith a bunch of cool stuff added.
Right now, most of what we're working on is polising up the game. There are a few areas that still need a few frames (There's going to be a new starting section, a huge addition to the final tower part, a bunch of new screens on each path and some other bits an peices. A lot of that is done, but we want to make sure that everything's great before we release it. Other than that, we're playing through the game from start to finish over and over again tweaking levels, fixing bugs and generally making it more polished and clean.

How? i have the same issue.. i know how to open it in notepad but after that i don't know..
Change it so it says "player.x=75" and "player.y=500" and that should move you back to the left side of the room.
Post by: chaosrain37 on March 14, 2009, 11:34:00 pm
Does - The kid autofires.
How - Open up "controls.txt" on the game folder. Go to "global.button4" and add a negation before its value.
global.button4=88
transforms into:
global.button4=!88
It doesn't matter which number it is btw. I got a 1 in my config.

Run the Controls executable that comes with the game to re-bing jump to something else!

Since you're making new content in all three paths, make the old saves invalid with the final release so we're forced to see everything in all its glory. It'd be pretty lame if most of us have a beta save at or near the final boss, skipping most of the new things you worked so hard to put in. Yes, that would mean that we all have to go through it all over again, but for most of us, it shouldn't be too difficult doing everything again and I'm sure the new areas will present fresh challenges to keep us going.

Yep, As of final release, all earlier save files will be invalid. We're going to encrypt save files too, so it wont be possible to hack your way through the game.

So, to clarify, the existing secret items will now have a purpose, yet I will have to obtain them all again?
Yeah you will. Most of the current ones have been removed or moved to a different location. 'Cept for glados, but that boss has been revamped so it's worth going back and doing again.
There will be *possibly* 16 secret items in total, collecting them all will unlock some awesome content, eg deleted and bonus scenes and maybe a new *EXTREMELY* difficult boss for all those insane people out there.

Post by: Tazers on April 05, 2009, 11:55:07 am
Still, I love this game anyway. The boss fights are really fun, and finding out the solutions to stuff in the game is just as awesome as in IWBTG. I beat the Doom thing, Glados and Bubble Bobble guy (got the blue potion and cake), but I'm giving up for now because I accidentally went off to the right to the imitation IWBTG starting room and saved, and I really REALLY don't want to do all of that over again. Plus if all the saves are going to be invalidated in a month, I might as well just be patient.
Oh, and I found this room after Bubble Bobble with Link fishing, is this some unfinished thing that I bet you guys already talked about earlier?

yeah whats with the link fishing thing?
i really didn't wanna do a left path so i found a way around the blue portal
That's a secret area. In the beta it was unfinished, but we left it in ther because we thught it might be cool to tease people with some ideas of where the secret areas would be in the future. Also, we were lazy.
Anyway, yeah, there's now a puzzle there and a secret item!
As for current progress: We are currently working on the LAST FRAME (:O) of the game! We'll probobally end up remaking a lot of stuff, so there is still heaps of work to do, but it's a massive milestone.

Actually, am I the only one who thought the first trial was sorta easy once you found out you had to hit all the platforms, and you remembered all of them? Once you know how to do it, pretty simple, not too much trial and error compared to some other challenges. The second was annoying but also easy, and the third was a bit of a whore and would be fine without that last part ARGH I'm still mad about that you guys.

I'm really glad the game has people like you playing it, Especialy now. I keep getting worried that we're putting all this work into creating awesome secret areas (Some of which are arguably the best screens in the game), which almost no one will ever see. Knowing that at least you guys are checking the unfinished versions out already is very reassuring.
The trials are now pretty much done, and will rock your socks quite throughly. The fifth trial is something very special.
As for the difficulty, it's all been played with a bit, so it should be a bit better there.
Here's a special screenshot of a recent level, just because we love you:

Haha, Hey, be nice to my room! The blue flower room is the first screen that I designed from scratch myself, rather than just working with tij like I have for most others. Even though I know it's not as good as some other levels, it remains one of my favourites in the game, if only for sentimental value.
The thing I like most about it is that some people find it really really easy, and you realize that it's the people who really think about what's going on and pretty much ignore the fireballs that have the least trouble with the room. It's easier than it looks!
As for the replies, Thanks! If you think that room's cool, you're going to snap seeing the screen after it. And speaking of which, and your insatiable lust for screenshots, I'll be putting up a new post on out ModDB site about the next room pretty soon too, which you guys will probobally want to check out.
http://www.moddb.com/games/i-wanna-be-the-fangame
The left path is a bit harder now too, with the addition of 2 new screens that, to be honest, are pretty out of place in their difficulty. I think we need to tone them down a bit. If you can beat it on impossible though, ++respect.
Re: Snoot; We're still going to remove that room. I liked the joke too, but it's just way too hard. Also, there are cherries in the new first room of the right path now, so it kinda doesnt work.

We're working on it!
I think soon I'll go back to Beta V3 of the game and take screenshots of a bunch of stuff, then show the updated versions, so you can see a bit of what the game feels like now ahead of time.
We've officially completed the final frame of the game, and now we're just re-working all the paths to run a bit more smoothly etc! This game is actually getting finished!

I tried in the controls.exe to set up my Xbox 360 controller but it wouldn't recognize it.
If that isn't a feature, it would be a good one for the final release.
EDIT:
It seems that the controller thing isn't my biggest problem. Every time I I go to start the game it crashes. I'm able to pick my difficulty but when the first frame loads up I hear a glitchy squelch sound then the send error report window pops up. Although I'm able to keep playing until I die then it locks up and I have to close it. I tried re-downloading it and closing everything out but no luck.

Yep, of course!
If we have time, I'd like to have a whole barrage of statistics about how you did come up after the credits at the end of the game. I mean, completley ambiguous stuff like, "Most shots fired while in the air" or something.
Also, perhaps for future patches etc, We want to put a bunch of mini-games in too, for when you need jut a little self-hate action on your lunch break.

I.. actually have no idea what's causing that crash. It's probably a hardware problem, or something to do with Game Maker. What operating system are you running it on and what's your computer specs? Can you run iwbtg fine?

I'm using Windows XP SP3. 2.4 GHZ Pentium 4 I have an ATI graphics card 256MB (dont know the specs on it, someone gave it to me) It is very similar to the Nvidia Gforce FX 5200. I also have a Windows Blind up if that matters. I can run IWBTG without it crashing, it just lags a lot on the 2nd phase of The Guy.
I hope you can figure it out and it's a simple fix on my end, changing a setting, I really don't have the money to upgrade and I really want to play the game.

I am having problems playing this game. As soon as I select a difficulty, the game freezes on the first screen and stops responding. It creates a save file called "save0" and another file called "temp". Is anyone else having this problem or can anyone suggest a remedy?
That is the same problem I'm having. I don't have access to another computer though.
Sounds like GM is crashing whenever it tries to use the external media player to play music. You got a media player installed? If you do I'm not sure what the problem is.
What kind of media player are you talking about, like Windows Media Player, I have that. It could be if it's trying to access Quicktime it won't get anything because Quicktime corrupted or something on my PC and I can't use it. Would it work with WMP?

Yeah, I have VLC, WMP, DivX, and Quicktime installed. Can you tell me the filetype of the media files it plays, if they have one? I've fiddled around with my filetype associations in the past, so could one of the players be trying to play a track it can't play, or could they be interfering with each other or something?
EDIT: I restored association of .wav and .mp3 files to Windows Media Player, and now it works fine. Thanks tijit for pinpointing the music as the problem. :D

EDIT: I restored association of .wav and .mp3 files to Windows Media Player, and now it works fine. Thanks tijit for pinpointing the music as the problem. :D
I just tried that and it didn't solve my problem. All my audio files are set to Windows Media Player and it still crashes. I don't have any music if that helps just sound effects(like the object falling/launching sound and I get the bwang of the disappearing reappearing blocks), so I'm guessing it may still have something to do with that.
Just my luck a game I really want to play and I can't :'(

That's the only ending for now.: show
Yep, there will be a (or mabye several) new endings for the full release.

OMFG I CAN'T WAIT 4 more days!1 month before the official release date, April 10.
Oh wait....
Well never mind :P We just gotta patch up the final boss and the ending and you playtesters get to playtest something.
Hmm, also need a spiffy credits sequence and a menu system for multiple saves huh. Why is it now I have a two-week break.. I'm getting LESS done on it. Hurr.
Actually, the officially posted release date is May 15th.

No. I have all music extensions already associated with Windows Media Player as I said in my previous post. And it seems that the creator doesn't know what the problem is so it seems as I'll never be able to play this wonderful game until I can get a new computer, which is a ways away still. :'(
Thanks for trying though.

no rush though seriously, life is pretty important and all. Happy birthday.
Seriosuly, important or not it's getting rediculous. I havent had a night free to sit down and slam out some work on this for about 3 weeks. I can get a bit done during the day at uni, but my rediculous schedule is just out of control now. Tij has it a little easier, but he's got much more work on the game to do, and plans to actually pass university.
Dont worry guys, It'll get it's release eventually, and it'll be worth it. We just need a bit more time to make sure that when we do get it out there, we do it right.

BUT, i had 2 issues with it:
1. The levels did not have the same charm like the original IWBTG.
2. The use of traps was very repetitive in most levels, the flying spike trap was done to death.
But the game was very original, the bosses were fun and overall it was a pretty good game :)
8/10

Thanks!
Hopefully we've fixed both of those problems with the final release. We ended up culling a lot of rooms that didn't have any unique or interesting value or puzzle to solve.
Rest assured, it's still coming guys!

If you ask me, all the levels so far are absolutely perfect. Traps were maybe just a bit repetitive, but not so much that you could beat an area on your first or second attempt. Nothing's bad.
Thanks man, we really appreciate comments like this. Still, I think you're wrong, and a lot of levels needed fixing up, so fix them up we have! Should have a progress update up soon.

Haha, Awesome.
We love both of you. A lot.
Tij loves probobally more than you'd feel comfortable with. That's a lot of love right there.
Anyway, We're working on it! Today the uni shut down the lab we were using to make and test the game in, so that's going to set us back a bit, but we should be able to keep it on track. We went over the menu designs and a bit of stuff regarding the ending and it's all looking good. There's a small, pretty inconsequential update on ModDb.com that I wrote, so keep that bookmarked, should be more up soon.

So.. Yeah.
I could write pages and pages about what We've been up to that's getting in the way of this, but I'll just leave it at "Life Happens". It's been a really terrible run in terms of progress for this game. BUT REST ASSURED! It's getting done!
My last exam for the semester is tomorrow, and after that I'm going to get this train running again. Within the next 2 weeks I want to have the game pretty much 100% done (Final testing etc after that, then release), major mod blog updates and a completed website running for the game.
So yeah, It's on it's way! We know you guys have been waiting, and we love you for it. Tij actually love you a bit TOO much. It's starting to scare me.
Really.
Keep the faith, We're still alive!

question: this game rox but i have to ask,how did you expect people to find the trial's?
Well, They're so hidden for a reason. As the above poster said, they ARE just like a big "Hey hey, FUCK YOU" to the player. Obscenley difficult and unfair, even by IWBTG's standards, so we really didn;t want normal players (See: people that start on medium) runnig into them and thinking they were a compulsory part of the game, so we hid them behind a bunch of stuff that we knew the more hardcore players that want to "100%" the game will find. The idea was that for the really hardcore players going through on their second time, they'd run into the trials naturally, and so far it seems to be working.
Basically, we dont want most people to see them. We put a lot of effort into them because of 2 reasons:
1: We wanted to reward the dedicated people that will actually see them. We are endlessley frustrated by games that offer only "Here, Grind this more" as the reward for more adventurous players, so we wanted to offer something really cool and challenging to the elite that play our game.
2: We want to encourage people to be like the above style, really seeing how much you can squeeze out of the game.
It's all about maximising mileage.
Re: Zero_Destroyer:
A few of those issues are fixed. As for where you quit, we were going to change it, but an overwhelming number of people said it was their favourite screne in the entire game, so we just left it as it.
Thanks for reminding me by the way, I need to bug tij a bit more to fix some things in the X's area (We changed that a lot).

It seems whenever I go to continue, it starts me out in the wrecking ball room, the spikes all raise, you hear the kid die (he isn't onscreen though) and you gear the death music, and see GAME OVER, Press R to try again. It is annoying, and it fucked my save (even though I was on the trials).
Speaking of the trials, after getting this prob fixed, I passed the first two trials. My opinions:
Trial 1: Put the save at the very start of the trials, next to Alex or something. I thought after I cleared those first two platforms, they wouldn't hinder me again, and I saved in the next room. for the next 30 minutes, I attempted endlessly to get all of the 12 platforms in the two rooms, eventually, I got them, and saw that I had two left. It DESTROYED me. I went back though and managed to clear all 14. This was the most frustrating thing I've ever done in my entire life.
Trial 2: Make it harder, maybe more spinning blocks. Though I must say this one is fun.
Trial 3: Fucking brilliant and evil. I haven't passed it, but I LOVE it. it's more crazy than G&G's secret item. Can't wait to see Trial 4, I hope you guys put in at least 10, I'll be doing them.

Post by: Matt on July 12, 2009, 01:27:25 pm
There's actually a whole lot more past that that we've done, Such as adding in menus and fixing up a lot of screens.
There's actually a lot of screens added into the mix in the middle of paths, and a few removed.
We also greatly extended the final streatch, and almost every screen has unique and clever new things on it, so that's good.
Anyway, I'm not going to release the 4th and 5th trials (Or anything that you may find after that), simply because we want what happens to be a surpprise.
It's worth it! When I first played the finished version, I was amazed with the 5th trial.
I'll try and dig up some more stuff to give you guys tomorrow. In the meantime, ModDB (http://www.moddb.com/games/i-wanna-be-the-fangame) has a vid up with a section of the new mario screens in it!

Why is this game freezing when I try to run it in CrossOver? I thought CrossOver was compatible with Game Maker.Owned by shitty software. Just because something *says* its compatible, doesn't mean it runs it very well.
Is it possible to port this to the Multimedia Fusion engine?Hell no. You should be slapped for even suggesting such a thing.

The mario section is roughly where the final boss fight is in your version. Imagine you go right on the screen before it, then there's a few extra things we made, then Mario.

I'd like to report a glitch, in case no one noticed my last post. I originally thought this had to do with a secret item, but i was wrong. It seems that now whenever I continue, it throws me into the wrecking ball room, all the spikes rise up, and the kid falls onto them. No method of escape. Even after I reload it does this, but if I start a new game, I'm safe. Fix this, please.
Let me explain how this works.. that room is the first one I ever made so it has the "0th" room index, and because I'm a lazy coder when I Started this project, all non-declared variables are automagically set to 0 if I try to implement them. So.. if you're touching a roomChanger object that hasn't been told what it's roomTo number is, it'll automatically throw you back to that room. Specifically, where are you being taken from?

Trials area isn't complete yet. It ends at the 3rd one. Hence why there's demo walls blocking it off.. but of course being a quick thing I did before releasing people managed to find a way around it.

I don't like many IWBTG fangames because they just weren't as well thought up as the normal game, if you added more known games with matching music the game would flow quite a bit better. I really would not recommend any games that aren't very popular because the people playing the game won't know what it is. With the regular IWBTG, most of the areas were easily recognized by people who know some of their Nintendo games, classics like Castlevania, The Legend of Zelda, Megaman, etc. were included because they are well known series to gamers. The point is, if people can't recognize some of the areas/bosses (besides your original ones) you shouldn't use them, because it will be a lot less like IWBTG.

This is quite a great game, but I don't really like the sound of a fangame.

Interesting that you point this out. This was a concern of mine from a long way back... mostly because I'd never heared of wonder boy 3, and IWBTFG for the first few screens is pretty much I Wanna Be The WonderBoy3, but after I played the game, I realized how clever it all was. We've tried to make more things later on be based around a lot of popular games that people will recognize.
Just off the top of my head:
Mario
Pokemon
Pac-Man
Doom
Bubble Bobble
Portal
These are all games that most people would recognize, and that's not even nearly half of the references we've put in the game. Hopefully once you start playing though the full thing, you'll see more of games you recognize. The first screens are earlier ones that we made, mostly for ourselves (See: before we ever thought we'd cap 500 downloads, let alone 20,000), so they were more obscure gaming references of games that Tij or I really liked.
So yeah, that's already addressed.
And since I'm here, we're going to be doing some work on the fangame pretty much now. Hop on the IWBTG IRC channel in a bit if you want to talk to us while we make your future gaming lives horribly difficult!

The very RAM functionality of my computer itself. This is a severe internal problem that something about this has. Anyway, I ran it again, and this time, unexpected error. Next time, same error as before. No clue. The game I am working on just started not working as well. Oddly enough, though, a much simpler game I made works perfectly. Controls.exe works fine besides the crazy graphics. The ends of the words there are all stretched out for some odd reason. I think I should reinstall GM and reboot. Then I'll tell you in my next edit/post.
I'm having the same problem with I Wanna Be The Ultimatum. I can't solve your problem but I'm sure matt or tijitdamijit can help you.

Oh man, I wish I could help you, but honestly it just sounds like your computer is messed up. Are you on linux? WINE might be causing some problems for you. If it's just on XP, I have no idea what could be causing that.
In other news, I'm using windows 7 at the moment, and currently the game just bluntly refuses to function on it, so we're going to have to sort that you before release. I have a few ideas on how to get around it.
Also, We finished re-doing the keyhole ride in the sky the other day, so it's a lot better now.

Tij put that there JUST to punish people playing on medium. It's ok, it's removed in the final version, but for now, sorry : \.

That sucks, there should be a lot of "save traps" in the medium mode...
However I wanna post my last accomplishment: Cleared the 3 trials on impossible mode and beaten Cacodemon (or whatever is called) and the pokeboss... I died in a room before the dragon... of course, Impossible mode too, but I bet when I kill the 3 bosses I will die in the "Psyche!" area.
"Someday my friends" (UltraJMan's voice) I'll clear this game in Impossible, in fact, I like IWBTFG better, sry Kayin.

I tried to clear it on Impossible (as I always do with this game) and I decided to beat the dragon first...
When I finally did, I wanted to go for the pokeboss and when I killed Cacodemon this happened:
: show
And here you have a little "movie" to explain it better...
http://yfrog.us/5aclip0004ntez
Way to go Tenka... way to go...
Nice "Anti-Cheat" Tijit, I was expecting the traps to dissapear or just to re-appear in that specific room but... that's what I get for trying to cheat (by removing the traps after the pokeboss).
By the way, there was no music after beating Cacodemon and the dungeon's music (Monster's Lair) was still being played when I returned to the starting point after beating the PokeBoss.
Post by: tijit on August 15, 2009, 10:10:38 pm
I also anticipated audio glitches.. but have no idea what was actually going to happen. If music doesn't play at all.. well needless to say I'm going to have to do something about that.

Well, piesaregud, since you said pwease:
I'm currently in the middle of a two-week break, followed by 4 weeks of university, 1 week of revision and then about 3 weeks of exams. Followed by a 3-month break.
So I should almost definitely have the game done by Christmas.
The main thing holding me back is that all the university labs I chill out at have all been recently installed with linux, so I no longer have any windows computer at the university I can work on the game on. Also playtesting sessions have become a lot more rare.

Now tell us, Tij, where do you plan to place the new content? My guess would be behind the demo wall at the end, since it looks pretty set up for something new. Or are you going to keep it a secret until the release?
Secret areas are spread all around the place. The sticky keys boss has been moved to the end, and a whole bunch of areas have been added imbetween. Due to lack of testing and work being done on the game (I've actually been sick for the last month and a half, and finding motivation to work on it is not a sure thing) the release is still a fair way away.

I demand a room in which your controlls are reversed. Quick before I put it in IWBTA.
OLDGREGEREY has it right, Tentacool messes up your controls.
You might see an apperance of him a bit later on in the game too, so keep an eye out.
Tij has gone so far as to change the shooting mechanic in the Mecha Sphegettio boss fight, it's that intense, so that's also going to be awesome. Lotsa' good stuff on the way dudes.

;;edit;; I just caught up on like 25 pages of thread. Sounds like you guys have put a lot of work into this. TBH, the fact that it was more difficult than IWBTG was the one thing I didn't like about it. The super difficulty of this game might destroy any chance of playing through it all over again from the beginning. I'm certainly going to try though.
I've been powering through IWBTG fangames lately, just to see where the community is at. I restarted mine after like a year. Remade the engine from scratch, threw in a dialogue system, etc. I see there's a fangame that implemented giant Bullet Bills that blow through the scenery, which I had coded months before it came out... I wonder if any of the new content here includes ideas that I had for my game.
I remember you guys were talking about a Guitar Hero part before b3 was out. Did you ever put that in? I had a Rock Band part finished in my WIP before my old PC crashed, and I fully intend on remaking that screen as a boss fight. Lemme know. Looking forward to the full release.

TBH, the fact that it was more difficult than IWBTG was the one thing I didn't like about it. The super difficulty of this game might destroy any chance of playing through it all over again from the beginning. I'm certainly going to try though.
I've been powering through IWBTG fangames lately, just to see where the community is at. I restarted mine after like a year. Remade the engine from scratch, threw in a dialogue system, etc. I see there's a fangame that implemented giant Bullet Bills that blow through the scenery, which I had coded months before it came out... I wonder if any of the new content here includes ideas that I had for my game.
I remember you guys were talking about a Guitar Hero part before b3 was out. Did you ever put that in? I had a Rock Band part finished in my WIP before my old PC crashed, and I fully intend on remaking that screen as a boss fight. Lemme know. Looking forward to the full release.
uhhh i have talking dialogue in my game...:/
"do a barrel roll"
anyway back to subject
yeah can't wait for the game

We've got exams coming up so progress has slowed a little for a few weeks. In 2-3 weeks or so though we should be spending a lot of time on it to just get it out the door. We really need to get it finished so we can get onto other projects.

- The ticking time bomb
Example:Quotebecause if you do, and the game is actually gonna be finished someday, no one will remember this game. because no one did hear any news of the progress for like a year.
Also known as: "If you don't give me the game now, I'm gonna leave and never come back. You're losing fans, man!!!" Again, this argument exists to put pressure on the team. They're in a race against time. If they don't finish the game quickly, there'll be nobody left to play it. (this goes back to the "praise is as good as money"-element) This is of course a fallacy, since the majority of people who downloaded the demo will play it, semi-forget about the game while they go on with life and regain interest when the full game is out. Of course, even the people who MAKE this argument and then leave when their demands aren't satisfied STILL come back and play the game when it's out. Don't worry, they will.

In other news, Me tij and Jamie (Another member of our group) are going to start more serious game develoment once this is done with. It's a pretty cool team we have here and we've got a bunch of really cool ideas on what to put out: iPhone development is looking like the first stop, probably followed by a steam release if we have time.
Cool stuff's happening. I should stat a blog.

What does everyone think of an online achievements system? If everyone uses it, you can find out just how many other people have done certain things - ie defeated each boss, which secret items, and who has beaten the game.omg the achievement disease is now hitting iwbtg fangames as well!

I wouldn't mind one really, I even thought and discussed around adding one to tribute, but decided to do not
I mean... beating the game is an big achievement itself =p

I think it's a pretty good idea. You could put how many times you've died, triggers set off, and if you do a boss rush mode, the best times. Or something.

It would be a nice addition, but personally I wouldn't be any less happy if you didn't include it. If you think you might end up still working on extra features after release then I'd say save it for then, otherwise meh. At the moment I'm taking the philosophy that we've been waiting so damn long I don't really care what extra features are in it as long as I can actually play the game when it's done. xD
I was hoping to have the trailer done by monday, but I'm at a LAN from friday 7pm till saturday 9pm, and on sunday I have a karate grading. Maybe wednesday then, depending on shtuff
@StillTheKid: I sort-of have that set up already, a friend of mine just gave me his php which shouldn't be too hard to modify.. and I can get free hosting from a whole bunch of sites.
Currently, I'm working on:
-Final Credits Sequence
-Final Chase Scene
-Time Trial Mode (It's pretty much done, I Just gotta add some method of recording your records, and selecting it in the main menu)

Then why can you only go to ONE in the beginning? That is pretty linear, unlike IWBTG. A linear path game is no justified tribute to IWBTG. It needs to have all or most of the paths accesible from the beginning.Just because you don't have the thinking power to find them doesn't mean they don't exist.

And i didn't even give the game enough time to find the secret path because I thought the first room was retarded. I also glitched it and got stuck in the endless desert, and teleported behind a DEMO barrier. So STFU!

Does what I say about the owner of this thread's game have anything to do with them? Can't I just make suggestions? I realize it was stated forcefully but I am brutally honest, I don't try to candy-coat things. I was only telling him what I thought he could change. I was not insulting HIM, just his game. So isn't all this bickering irrelevant?

And Komaku seems to be the only one here I like, because she reasons with me instead of swearing at me. So, if any of you want to get anything out of me anymore, I suggest you don't do it in an abrasive manner. You talk to me and I'll talk to you. I've had enough of this arguing.

Things I did like about it;
1. I liked the layout of the first room, but I felt that he had a wee too many spikes. It would be cool if the room was plain, and you felt all safe and protected, but when you return from a path you have to fight a miniboss or something like that.
2. The graphics for the first path DID rock, did he rip them from a game, or draw them himself, because they seem kind of familiar...as does the music. The only downfall was that you could'nt go in the castles, and that most of the ground looks real but isn't; I hate those type of traps.
3. The endless desert was a cool concept, sort of reminds me of Gerudo Valley from Zelda 64. Only I didn't like those crosses that were suspended in mid-air. They really don't make sense, but then, what really does in a game? I can't say anymore because I haven't given the game a fair trial run. I probably will, though, if I have the time between school and working on my own game at the same time.

Post by: *Lionheart* on December 05, 2009, 01:45:56 am
And no, I have not. I don't know how to get to it:(
Its not in the main room is it? Because every time I go into one of the passages it takes me to the same place.

Haha, Oh snap.
We've done a lot of tweaking in this version... and by a lot, I mean that pretty much every room has changed.
I played through BetaV3 recently and I was cringing the entire time..."Did we seriously release this shit?!"
Anyway, We're working on the ending now (Not to spoil it, but it's going to be awesome), and have finished up most of the work on well.. everything. It's nearly there!
The original plan was to have it out for Christmas, but I'm heading to Bali for 3 weeks on monday, so You guys are probably looking at new years for release.
That being said, The end is in sight! We're looking into other stuff at the moment too (C# looks like the future for bigger projects).

Hey man, that's all it was, I wasn't trying to insult you. Though I may have come on about it a bit harshly. (what am I saying, I DID come on too harshly)
I gave your game another try, though. Can't get past the jet from hell. I figured I had to beat it back to the beginning so I wouldn't get hit when it bombs the place. The pac-man area was cool, if not a tad confusing at first.

It was the screen right before the puzzle bobble area, the green one with the blue square. I saved so that I would continuously fall into the spike at the top left.
Hm... in the new version you can double jump right after you spawn, so that'll be less of a mistake later on. I might make some changes to that screen anyway though.
Post by: OLDGREG on December 16, 2009, 12:16:20 am
anyways i started a new save again on hard this time and i just got past the puzzle bobble boss again

Stuffs:
-14,284 Lines of Code
-3,531 rooms generated (not all of them are being used)
-8,191 objects generated
-7,800 sprites and background textures
-More than 25 MB of Music and Sound Effects
-3 Fonts
-Project Started 11th October 2008
-More than 10 secret items/areas/bosses (and more to come, that part hasn't quite been finished yet)
-3 Fonts
All up I think the final file size is looking at around.. maybe 28MB? Shouldn't be too bad for those poor suckers who are still on dialup.
Right now my priority is finishing the secret areas, getting the Trailer released, and getting the closed beta to all those who I deem are eligible to playtest the final version before it has been released.

Hope you guys all had an awesome christmas. I'm back home now (Bali was awesome), and I'm still in the process of going through the game (AGAIN) to iron the bugs out and finish testing everything (God damn spike corridor), so it's all looking good!
Some of the secret areas are goddamn ludicrous, and some stuff that tij came up with while I was gone is just insanely cool. I really hope a whole lot of you will go hunt down these secret areas, because I really think that they are some of the best parts of the game.
Enough talking about how great we are, Tij you've gotta get over here with your laptop so we can finish this trailer. You free tomorrow?

They're secret and they'll stay that way.. or at least until people put up youtube vids of them. But they're so hard to find and some of them are so difficult that I'm guessing it'll be a fairly long amount of time before people have found them all. I'm not underestimating you guys, I'm just an evil bastard, and wanted something that'll last. So I think somehow that me and the other developers are gonna have a bet on how quickly people can find all the items. I would say 2 months, but only coz I know there are some people out there who aren't gonna stop until they find them.
hehehe
Post by: andre98 on December 27, 2009, 02:26:51 pm
Haven't had much time to play, but I'll try to go on tonight. Stuck on the first flower.
The more you say how hard it will be to find the items, more motivated the members will become, if it was planed to be hard to find, prepare to be amazed. Not for me though, I'm still strugling to beat IWBTG, secrets are not for me.
Ho BTW, hi ;D
Post by: Matt on December 28, 2009, 07:47:25 am

As for deleting secrets in the beta; we didnt really Delete them, so much as improve them. Some are entirely different, and other you will have to get to via a different entrance.
Expect a lot to be different, but the base is there.

So how's the game coming along? Sounds like it's almost finished. Can't wait to try the latest version.
Seriously, we are SO CLOSE here. We were hoping for a new years release, but a week long Game Jam came up and we sorta had to enter. The theme's "All things must come to an end", so, you know: Tij is making a platformer that you inevitably have to loose, I'm doing something with black holes for the iPhone.

Edit 2: Why does everyone say Bub is easy. He is kicking my ass. I haven't been killed by a bubble yet but those... what the hell are they? Haribo? They keep killing me. This game is great though. Does remind me an awful lot of IWBTG.

Bioshock 2 comes out soon, in February. I can't wait for that.
Anyway, continue with your thread.

Yeah bioshock ain't half-bad, I tried playing through twice before now, and found it boring. Glad I finally like it though :P
What made you change your mind about the game the third time playing it through? I haven't played it 'cause of my craptastic laptop and out of date consoles, but I've heard great things about it...
Wait, I shouldn't ask you questions because it'll distract you from finishing the game! NOEZ!

I fixed the pacman area (finally) and did a lot of other cool stuff yesterday. The closing credits bit is so close to being finished.. I heaps have to fix up the final sticky keys boss now. I'll give it less health, but make it so only shooting the cancel button does any damage. Plus I'll remove that ridiculous rainbow attack

I'm not really the best expert on this, but I'll pitch in anyway. Rooms are generated when you create a room (obviously), but a lot of times, you get odd things happening like GM 'generating' 20 or so extra rooms that are promptly deleted.. so I dont know.
Basically, sometimes when you create a room, this number goes crazy.
And because it's so high, we can brag about it. Boo yah!

For me, this is sort of having the same effect that Advent Children did to me back in high school.
First the announcement, then the 2 different trailers showing up teasing us about it (screenshots of the game), then people going to see half of it at a film festival (beta release of the game), then it finally releases in japan (private beta testers of the game), hints at English dub (trailer nearing release of the game), release, disappointment.
So, as excited as I am to see this nearing completion, I just don't want to get my hopes up extremely high to let myself be that disappointed with the end product.
With that said, though, I still am looking forward to dedicating

I've been working on a few iPhone games (Which you guys should totally buy once they're done)!
iPhone games are SO December 2009... It's all about iPad development now! Just imagine the wider audience you'd be reaching with the people who buys those. If they bought the iPad, they'll buy ANYTHING! Make the next hit game be "I Wanna Be The Farmville" or something like that, people will eat that up like crazy!

BIG UPDATE
Fangame: Finished tweaking the final boss today. Heaps gotta finish off the intro and outro sequences, then there's just a few minor things, including secret item sfx, some sort of transportation room, the moving water tiles in the pokemon area, fixing up a death sequence involving a certain mushroom. I'm kind of liking the idea of open testing, just for the people at this forum, and I'll release it more large scale later, on moddb and whatever else. Also everybody bug Matt to finish off the website. It currently looks like this http://iwbtfg.hatchlingbyheart.com/ (http://iwbtfg.hatchlingbyheart.com/). Features randomised (old) screenshots on the right there. Heaps want to set up a forum for it as well. But if it's destined to end up anything like this place then fuck that lol
I've been too secretive about development I think. I heaps just want to get this released, and then I can finish off the secret levels and fix any outstanding bugs later, when the community has had a while to mess with it. I'll also release a beta build of I wanna Time Travel! at the same time, if anybody is still interested in that.
On that note most of the areas that will have secret areas in future builds, if found, will have a thing telling you to come back later, or something, so that those who explore the shit out of this game won't have overlooked something before it's even in the game.
There are currently 9 secret items, and I want to have 12-16 in the final build.
Post by: Matt on February 17, 2010, 11:42:42 am
But yeah, that sounds good. I do need to finish that site. I think we should actually scrub it up so the game is 'complete' before this release (i.e intro/outro is done, main paths are done) before we let you guys get at it, but I think releasing a version that we can update is a good idea. It's getting to a point where I just want to be done with it.

This is the 2nd trial that's right after getting the green potion in the desert after Alex Kidd. Each square (at random) starts to spin like those tiles in Legend of Zelda Link to the Past and launch towards you.

(http://i45.tinypic.com/35cijk4.jpg)I had quite a lot of trouble here too. I found it useful to just use 2 blocks in the corner and jump between them every few seconds. This should help you easily dodge them all, instead the ones coming from right above you.

It's not much.. but I can't really afford to give away cash prizes, and I thought a little incentive like that would put the pressure on pro players who want to finish this as quickly as possible.

As for number of people who get this? Well.. I'd have to say around 3-5. Any more than that, and there'll be youtube walkthroughs and stuff and everyone will have cheated by that point :P
Also beta v4 is essentially the finished game - any further releases will be for bugs fixes and patching etc.

@Captain Random: It's from Ape Escape. The tune is called Galaxy Monkey.
In this release I'm also trialling a mode called "Time Attack". You start with 10 minutes, killing a boss gives you an additional 6 minutes, you have to beat the game before the timer runs out. It's heaps glitchy (ie some of the music breaks), but you'll still have to beat that mode in order to get all available items. I'll need people to playtest that mode thoroughly if they want it to be an official feature in a future patch.

In all seriousness, just keep working at the game until it's complete. Between midterms and working until 1am every other night, I'm completely lacking time to do anything... Once it's done, I'm sure I won't be sleeping for a few weeks (or will consume my whole spring break) in order to beat it.

He's testing it so that everything is perfect- no bugs, no crashes, no way someone in the first 24 hours could hack the save file- just trying to cover all the bases.
Imagine if a gaming company did this - They 'completed' the game, but didn't have the resources to go through and check to see if there were any game-crippling bugs to sort out. So they release the game, people find out that there IS a game-crippling bug, and everyone is upset, they pull the rest of the copies off the shelf, they give free fixed games to those who bought the bad version on top of another free game- a huge loss of money, sure, but also damaging the company's reputation.

This exactly. If I release, it gets a shitload of downloads, and an area is epically broken, then well people are probably going to assume it's like that and keep trying to beat it over and over.
There is one part of the game that IS broken - time attack mode. Time attack mode is a beta in the final release (I'll release a patch or whatever) but to activate that mode you need to just press 'B' in the menu. It's for pros only - it requires a (was 34 minute, is now 40 minute, just coz I'm a biased playtester) speedrun, in that you start the game with 16 minutes, and every time you beat one of the four bosses you gain an additional 6 minutes. (Final boss doesn't count) If you run out of time you lose and have to start again.
It's broken coz it'll take too long to find all the problems myself, and need you guys to tell me every place where the music is broken, or the kid can get stuck etc.
Oh and btw - @Mkid there'll be a donation page on our site, if you want to gives me a monies :P.
Hopefully I'll get enough to afford lunch every now and then (:

grats zero_destroyer, you're one of the first people in the entire world to play this.

how many trials are there? because if there is anything past the scary and currently impossible trial 5 i will just quit now. also, trial 4 made me laugh until i actually died on it.
I've decided not to release ANY help/information on any secret items. If you're not already aware, there's a race to complete the game and obtain all 10 secret items.

@MKidTrigun: Yeah I already know about that bug and it's the most prominent, and also the reason time attack mode is still in beta mode.
Post by: sans on March 10, 2010, 12:06:54 am
Download the attached .bat file and put it in the same folder as your I wanna be the Fangame files.
Run the .bat file to play the game, as soon as the player is done playing, it deletes the 'temp' file that is left when you close the game, so that next time you load up the game, the clock is not displayed.
It's a crude way to get around it, but it works for the time being...
EDIT: Oh yeah, make sure the executable is called 'IWBTF.exe' for this to work.
EDIT 2: Fixed.

You programmed the game to recognise a save exists if and only if the thumbnail picture exists?
Get rid of the save file and not the picture and you can play on the title screen by 'continuing', and you can't transfer save files around unless you also have the picture for it.

1. Saves not loading etc when there's no image and vice versa
This will never happen if you don't fuck around with the images in the first place. However I can fix it, it was to do with the new menus I implemented
2. Save files getting corrupted
I cannot for the life of me work out what the fuck is going on there, but me and sammy will probably take a look at that tomorrow at university, approx 16 hours from now
3. @emm see: Okay I just worked out what you were talking about.. that's for some reason actually a surprisingly hard thing to fix.. I'll work on it
@MKidTriGun: I'm pretty sure that's actually a bulldozer.
Also, these bugs weren't "there after all this time", they've popped up recently due to not much time to playtest every single thing as thoroughly as possible.
@Jeed-Unit: congratulations0rz!!! like, fucking awesome dude. Also anyone else who's already beaten it, considering this was released less than 12 hours ago.. you have 10 items to collect. Get 'em, boys.

Hmm I did found a couple of bugs. Most of them are obvious, but some are quite amazing really. To name a few, the warp at the top of the second room of the right way (under the cherry room) is really fucked up. Depending at where you stand, you can either get to the cherry room, an empty room or the next room at the bottom (which makes you able to get to the wtf room ;) )
In time attack, in the first room, if you reset stading on the leftmost cloud right after entering that screen from the left, it seriously mess up the save file. It will spawn a load of kids until the game crashes and returns to the main screen, still spawning a load of kids.

And if you are ninja enough, you can also use the border of screen to get infinite double jump, but I still haven't found a place to exploit it yet :P

1. Saves should no longer get corrupted
2. Old saves (like from the final builds) WILL BE COMPATIBLE so that you don't have to start over.
Also menu bugs and that bug in the mario area have also been fixed

That I messed it up, when I found sticky I went back and the music changed, I saved and now I just finished the game CHEATING, I'm ashamed... Is there anyway to take back my save? I wanna kill Sticky...
There is one area before you fight Sticky, where the door closes with spikes, if you go back is like you killed it... I got scared and saved, and... finished the game, when I wanna load, this page appears:
(http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/7091/sinttulow.jpg)
And, if I enter there, it leads me to the begginning, with the 3 keys already gotten, though...
I'm playing in hard mode by the way, maybe that would help... however; if it would be possible to get back my save before fighting Sticky I would be really happy, because I don't feel realized when I finished the game like this without wanting... and if there is no other way... I'll redo all.

but it was not only me who had fun, i broadcasted the game on jtv in front of about 350 people and all liked it too. i think many of them downloaded the final version too. it was not a 100% run but i got 4 items. i think in the next days im gonna try a 100% run.
again, i really want to thank you and your team for the hard work you put onto this game. like i said. its a masterpiece in my opinion. thank you for creating this game!
i archived my live run on youtube. i hope you dont think its cheap advertisement. just want to share my run and emotions with you. of course i made live commentary on it, too.

I can't remember exactly how many secret items I got, but I think it was 6. Some of them were really hard though!
One problem/glitch I've found is that (I was playing after I'd won, if that makes a difference) if you take the right path until you're at the screen that looks like the first screen of IWBTG, go to jump up, but push against the right wall as you go, you'll be at a new screen, on top of the IWBTG one, where all you can see is the string that holds the wrecking ball. If you fall back down, sometimes you go straight to the room 2 rooms down.
Apart from that, awesome. One or two questions though - I played on Hard, and Pacman doesn't come all the way out any more, making it impossible to get to one of the secret items. Is this only available on very hard, or is there some trick? And at the aforementioned IWBTG bit, there used to be a secret item, and now the entrance to it is gone, although there is another entrance which is fairly impossible to get to when the wrecking ball falls and destroys the blocks towards it. Is that a secret item path too? :P I'm a perfectionist... I wanna 100% this!
At the end of the bats sequence (I did indeed swear at them) there's the big exit, and there's a tiny, one-block path at the top. Please tell me that's not a path to one of the secret items... it would be too tough to get to!

Oh, so that's how you get the destruction missile. I never found that second spike, and ended up doing it an easier way, actually. :)

Post by: flairina on March 12, 2010, 05:44:38 pm
tijit before i waste a week, is there an item here?
I currently have five, by the way. I have the feeling that I missed a few, seeing as how I just passed Grim Reaper.
EDIT: Whoa. I just reached the "WTF? How the heck did you get here?!" room.
EDIT: Okay, figured out how I did it. Go into time attack and go right. Then drop into the wrecking ball room, but jump back up and hug the right wall. Then go left until you drop into a wall. Go right and get near the wrecking ball until you drop down twice, and you'll be in a different wall. Go left and you'll fly down until you hit the unreachable spot. Then go right. Cheesy

p.s I hate that new pounder thing so much
p.p.s I don't think there's any way I can do the time attack because I suck at doing games fast. I can settle for 90%

The game is kinda disheartening me to actually go out and find them since every time I go to check a place and find nothing I have to go all the way through the path and beat the boss all over again just to get back to the beginning. How many other secrets are there?
Also some confirmation, Pacman blocking the way to that other secret (from the beta) was intentional right?
Post by: tijit on March 13, 2010, 01:08:08 am
Okay, I have no idea where the rest of the secrets are. I have the Green Potion, Blue Potion, Missile, Cake, Trials Trophy and the Rupee.

Yes. This and the area that used to be the right of the wrecking worth both easier to find than going the way I intended for you to go, so they were both either moved or removed. There are TEN secret items in total, plus one room which displays all the items you currently have. (Although you can just look in your folder called "achievements")
One of the secret items is acquired by completing the game in time trial mode. The other three are probably the three that are both the hardest to locate and hardest to complete. Since some people have already found them, I don't so much giving out hints: There's one on the left path, one on the right path, and one on the path between reaper and SK bosses.
There's only one item in the tower/pokemon path (blue potion) because it's not only the shortest path, but also anything I tried to hide there was way too obvious to find. A solution to this of course would be to have added another area - but I wanted to get this game released.

Ah, thanks for the hints. I just discovered a way into that unreachable area past the falling wrecking ball, it involves a glitch you can use at the save point in the room that looks like the first screen to IWBTG. Jumping up to the next screen sometimes puts you at the bottom of the screen you jumped from, if you do this just right you can get ahead of the bouncing wrecking ball. Although I assume this was partly intentional because of what was in the unreachable room.
Guess I will try to find these other secrets (I already know where the achievements room is, but I fear the item that can be found past the Reaper).

- if you kill her while the white lines are on screen, you will die after she's dead and there's no way to escape because the portals on the walls are gone
- sometimes the missiles do an 360º instant turn and gib your face randomly
- sometimes on the white laser line attack, you have to go in the other portal, but the elevators on that side are all too far from the portal and you fall to your spiky death
Post by: Elmo3000 on March 13, 2010, 10:37:09 pm
After this I'll try the time trial...
EDIT: Well, I found the Item Room... but since I've been playing the game from the Winzip file it was in without extracting it, I don't think it counted any of my items. In the item room, I had nothing except for the 3 keys. So, on a lighter note, I have to collect EVERYTHING again! ;D
On the bright side, I only had about 8 things anyway...
SECOND EDIT: Strange glitch, none of my items are showing up in the treasure room. I even went and collected them all again with the game extracted... Is this meant to happen?

Post by: Matt on March 15, 2010, 09:48:36 am
That's ok, I understand your pain! Tij made that one solo and gave me the final trial as a whole to test, and you probably noticed that I didn't get him to change a damn thing. The initial plan for trials was for it to be THE elite challenge within the game. Trial 5 is supposed to be the hardest section in the game, and if anything the other are all much too easy.
The reason they aren't harder is to encourage people to actually finish the trials. I think T5 is one of the coolest screens in the game, and certinally one of the most satisfying to finish.
The problem, of course, is people who accidentally run into the trials and cant get out after being brickwalled at T5.
The initial argument against us having a teleport out of there is to encourage people to actually do it. It's hard, yeah, but it's also quite possible (I managed it within about 4 hours and I'm not all that amazing at platforming, though I was on a bit of a roll at the end). I suppose the reason we didn't end up putting one there was that it was so close to the intended first path that we figured that if it happened, people could just start again and only loose ~4 screens of progress.
So.. that's sort of why it's the way it is. I know it's frustrating, but if you can beat trials, you ARE one of the elite. Not being able to beat trial 5 is no shortcoming; It's probably one of the hardest platforming instances in semi-popular games ever created.
So, to anyone that did beat it; NICE!
Edit: Zero_Destroyer: We intended for your comment on that item, indeed, to be impossible, but lets be honest, if you can manage it you DESERVE to win the item. Congrats, you discovered a new solution!
Just an FYI: We love watching Lets Plays (I've wasted a lot of my life watching them so far). From a design perspective, they are incredible to watch. Seeing people solve puzzles in new ways that we hadn't considered is so great, and watching you mess up 'simple' stuff is hilarious. Go team!
Also, Me and Tij, along with 2 others made an entry for the Adelaide GDC Game Jam #2 in a week that we're pretty happy with. It's not a hard came, and it's not that great or long (We made it in a week after all), but if you'd like to take a look at it, let me know.

because there is some areas like the 2nd IWBTG screen that said "WTF how'd you get here!!??!?"
and on the first screen to the left path there was a spike that flew down while making a path downward and then I die by going down anyway.
gd game BTW im upto 7 secret items so far.

Post by: Elmo3000 on March 16, 2010, 02:10:31 pm
I tried time attack and had 11 minutes left after getting to the lift of 3 keys (Didn't die at all during the IWBTG-Portal-Bubble Bobble bit, and didn't die at any of the bosses. I'm not awesome at it, but I'm not rubbish either. Anyway, when I got to the 3 key lift, I was stuck. Every time I've tried it in normal gameplay, I always get to the top, fall, wait for the second set of lifts, then catch them. Wait for the third set, etc, lather rinse repeat... However, this only works if I reload it from the savepoint beforehand. Otherwise, only 1 set of lifts appears after the first bunch disappear, and I can't make it to the castle. :( 11 whole minutes...
Other people have mentioned beating Time Attack though, so I'm guessing this is... likely my crappy computer again. Dangit!
Oh, and Trial 5 isn't THAT hard :P

Seriously, is there anything hidden down in there? Or does it just always kill you? Its REALLY retarded how many bottomless pits kill you when common game logic says thats where a hidden passage is! There is another spot like this right before that bat battle, after you step on a block to rise up, I figured, ah! theres a hole there, that must be where an item is located (so I hopped in, and BAM, dead).
And then the spots on the way to that missile secret item, where you HAVE to stand in what looks like a bottomless pit, to avoid that giant tank...seriously, you can't figure some of these things out with common sense!
I'm only missing 3 items now, some blue thing, and those 2 feathers, and in terms of where to look, I've got nothing else to go on now. -_-;

Oh, and also, when I beat it, I noticed it said Scary Hand from Eversion had been in the game. I didn't see one, so is that in the secret I haven't found?

Yeah, in that boss you can also die after killing him and you'll go to the next room anyway. I coded it that way coz that's how it was with mecha-birdo.
@Flairina: Coz people rebind their controls I made it so you have to press your shoot key to everse, not X. It was a little too obscure, especially for those people who haven't played Eversion :P

On a lighter note, what's the music for the ending credits? It's really... congratulatory!
It's a Song called "Parade" from a Japanese band "Zddn". You should check them out, they're great!
On that note, what did people think of the ending? No one's really talked about it much yet.

yeah, about 80% done in 40 minutes, that's good :DThanks!
I forgot to mention that I beat the devil boss, but he takes a while to die, so I ran out of time.
I was screaming so hard lol.
Then, it teleported me to the next screen with six minutes left.

So I seem to have a messed up save. I saved my game in the Mario level, got killed by the piranha plant, and then I start on the title screen. If I choose to continue my game I fall from the top of the title screen and die. I have no idea what's going on. The other save file works fine.Fuck, that's what happened to me too.

Do you think someone can give me a save? I was right before the pacman part.

No, it's on the path between reaper and SK bosses.
edit: you guys with the fucked saves.. do you guys have the final version? The one linked off moddb?
I just went through it, found no eversion area unfortunately and just found the mecha spahgettio thingy like I knew I would.
You must have hidden it pretty well because I thoroughly searched every nook and cranny after the reaper and found nothing but more impalement on spikes.

Tijit said that you have to "press z to everse" somewhat like the real eversion. I'm currently looking for it.

Post by: flairina on March 20, 2010, 12:01:27 pm
Is there any actual indication of the everse spot? I was spamming z constantly after beating the reaper and found absolutely nothing. Does the background change or blur in a certain spot or something?
After I got back there on my other file, I did too. I haven't a clue... :(

(note: I'm using a shitload of level design exploits to my advantage - including skipping the sticky keys fight, which will eventually be patched when the "final" version of time attack mode is out.. but while it's there I might as well take advantage of it)

Two- Time attack and whatever is on the left path that I can't find. I have a feeling that it's in the area with the Servant of Darkness, but I'm not sure.

Also five people confirmed with me that they have all secret items. Prizes are:

-Beta build of "Trials"
-Playtesting rights for future projects
There's one more slot open, then prizes are closed and will be distributed soon after. (note jeed-unit will probably get something extra for being the first)
