Xmas Prezzie: Dizzy And The Pit
Dizzy And The Pit A Lassie AS semi platformer point and click adventure type thingy Guide Dizzy around to save Grand Dizzy (yet again!) Beware some items are small! The game took under a week, has around 12 rooms, side scroller, a lot of the art is from yolkfolk.com (free to use) Any bugs, spelling mistakes etc let me know, it goes screwy online so its download only http://nigecstudios.co.uk/files/DATP.zip 3meg Just a note The TIMes editor did the crashing thing again, i did this on a 2.5ghz pc with 1gb of RAM, a totally different pc to the one i used for HW It only does it on re-edit and 4 or more in a row bug Fix: 20.00, 16 dec sound loop walkcycle lockup in room1 troll convo html included added text

Cool! How'd you get it so that Dizzy jumps over the block everytime you walk past it? And how did you do the yellow area behind the spoken text?

his "jumps" are diagonal walk cycles The sprite blocks don't really need to be there, but sometimes he goes and throws a wobbly plus its a prompt for the game player the speech was done by adding an extra layer for the graphics to the speech FLA, you can do speech bubbles and all sorts, but its a restricted area to work in the big white areas in the first pics, were "pickup and drop into inventory" animation for the key and and bug spray, but i decided against it, the spider does it still The sound was a layer added onto inventory

AH, those are some neat tricks. Well done!

lol, that's cool Nige.... I like how he falls down the sloped walkways because it's diagonal :-)

originally he just "jump" up, and walked down, but sometimes it looked kinda odd It was going to be a one off, but there could be more, so I'm working on a better control setup, health bar and enemy reactions It was great fun to do and very easy!

Really like it.. theres something cool about remaking old platform games as adventure games... :D

really cool! astonishing what you come up with ...

...I just got around to downloading it to take a look and see what all the yap is about... ::shakes his head:: Nige, Nige, Nige. How do you come up with these things? It's amazing. Lassie was certainly not designed to do that, and yet... there it is!

Thanks :D Half the reason i set these odd tasks is when it comes to writing stories i suck and i can't come up with a full game! so instead I'll set a small goal and see if i can do it, this started out as a one room experiment, to get him to go over the block, i managed that, so i did the next room to see if it looked convincing between the platform.. it just grew from there! I will be looking into this idea a lot more, and attempt to get it more Dizzy accurate, hence the collision Q's, Dizzy has a great community, I'm not breaking any copyrights and loads of resources. once the NOTH demo is done we'll be looking at a new character theme
