Title: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Vernamon on September 10, 2007, 01:41:12 AM
What If I make a game will you play it? I'm currently in a class where I get to design and make games and today I just thought of a great game where you play as Lum trying to catch Ataru. What do you think? If you have any ideas let me know and i'll see if I can't get them into the game i'm just at the starting point for it so I hope it will be fun i'll even tell you where to go to download the game so you can play it.

First of all, welcome to the forums. We all hope you become a regular (we're so few :'().

Would I play a UY game??... Let's see...

Obsessions:
-Gaming
-UY

UY game... HELL YEAH! I'd love it.

Actually, I had the idea of making a game too, but I can't install the program I need. Maybe you can help me out when I get back home.
I'll post a pic with the error in a week.

sweet and Thanks. I hope its good i'll be using a program called GameMaker and i've already kinda started just that i'm having a bit of trouble getting certain things to work hope to have it up before the end of my school year. And i'm so glad that I have a couple of people so far who are willing to try it out. The trouble i'm having is drawing Lum out the way she should look. It's gonna be a side scroller and i'll be using some of the music thats in the Anime in the game.

A cool game that eventually could be made is an RPG version of Urusei Yatsura. I would love that.
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Kroptik on September 10, 2007, 03:46:43 AM
Can you give us a preview of how the game is? Stuff like commands, objective, etc..

I'm just curious. :P
Posted on: Monday 10-September-2007, 02:45:05
That's why I'm thinking of making a Sim-date game of UY. It's the closest thing to a RPG you can do with UY. At least if you want to stick to the story.
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Vernamon on September 10, 2007, 05:11:29 AM
My idea was having the game be a side scroller where you are chasing after Ataru and shocking anyone who gets in the way. Right now its a school project so i'm trying to keep it fairly simple for now but once I learn A LOT more than I did last year I'll try to expand on it. It would be nice if we could all collaborate on it too since right now the hardest thing for me is drawing the characters. As for commands you will be using the W key to move forward and S to move back of course you will be flying so the E command is to fly higher and the D key to fly lower. The Space bar will be used to shock, but as i've stated before it would be nice if I could get some help especially on the sprites for the game and You will be in the credits of the game. Basically over all you will be trying to catch up with Ataru your Darling as he has always been called.

I prefer to use the arrow keys but for UY... I don't care what controls I need to play. Just play. Btw, I am addicted to games and my favourite ones are RPG. But if your game isn't RPG, it doesn't matter. It's from you and it's about UY. Good luck in your game and let us know about how it's going.
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Jataru on September 11, 2007, 11:59:44 PM
If the game have Ataru and Lum of course I will play it. I expect the game with intusiasm.

Post by: Vernamon on September 12, 2007, 05:51:48 AM
Well i'm still having trouble trying to draw up the characters and maybe I could one day get the game I make into some kind of RPG. And the controls may change and if they do i'll let you all know. Though if any of you want to help draw up the character sprites i'm more than happy to allow you too.
Posted on: September 12, 2007, 05:47:24 AM
Oh and when I do draw the sprites i'm gonna put them up on http://vernamon.deviantart.com/ its where I have some of my pics that I draw though so far I have no comments on any of them :(

It would be great to to play UY games.
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Cosmic King on September 12, 2007, 04:09:57 PM
How about you include some boss characters in certain levels,vernamon?

You could use characters that want Lum or Ataru for themselves (although Ataru has to be the final boss as he is Lum's objective)

Btw,nice art in yer deviantart page
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Jataru on September 12, 2007, 05:48:54 PM
Yeah Boss characters like Rei or Ran, that would be great.

And the Bosses Pepper, Ginger and Sugar.

but they would be easy to beat though
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: cata on September 13, 2007, 12:14:05 AM
They could be Bosses in the first levels, where the difficulty is lower.
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Jataru on September 13, 2007, 12:40:20 AM
You can do Bosses of the movies like Elle from the 1st movie, Ru from the 3rd and Rupa from the 5th.

I just found out there IS  a Nintendo DS Game for Urusei Yatsura here's the link for it www.gamestats.com/objects/695/695642/index.html even I didn't know about it till I just started searching. Hope it becomes a rom i'm kinda poor and I don't even own a DS.
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Kroptik on September 13, 2007, 05:28:31 AM
Actually... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urusei_Yatsura) Check the game section. There are 6 UY games so far.

And I've played the DS one (Endless Summer) and the NES one (Lum No Wedding Bell), both in emulators. I never got to finish them thoguh, because ES was in Japanese and I couldn't understand, and LNWB was just too hard.
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Vernamon on September 13, 2007, 05:51:05 AM
ah yea right now i'm trying to download as many as I can and hope fully I can translate some of it as I go along as long as its in Hiragana and Katakana
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Kroptik on September 13, 2007, 07:20:27 AM
LNWB basically needs no translating, since basically only the menu has anything written.
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: cata on September 13, 2007, 10:57:01 AM
I have the rom of Endless Summer, and I can't save the game. Does anyone can how to save, please?
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Vernamon on September 14, 2007, 04:48:23 AM
I can't even play the rom for some reason.

well Ideas and desmume are emulators that can save that I know of, but don't install both makes the other one not save

Posted on: September 15, 2007, 02:25:12 AM
I need help I need to find some drawing references of Lum flying in at least to one side. Can anyone help me?
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: DarkDevil on September 22, 2007, 07:29:06 PM
is it in sprite?
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Kroptik on September 22, 2007, 08:28:49 PM
Good question. Is it a sprite you want, or an actual anime-style draw?
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Vernamon on September 23, 2007, 07:03:02 PM
well in a way both. One for good reference and as for the sprite I have yet to find any :(
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Cosmic King on September 23, 2007, 07:37:34 PM
it will be kinda hard since most uy games were using old sprites
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Vernamon on January 20, 2008, 01:37:52 AM
true I at least need some kind of reference of Lum flying.
Posted on: September 23, 2007, 08:15:28 PM
ok I know its been a long time since i've posted but i've currently been having many issues trying to make the game work right. It would still be great to get some sprites for the game if possible.
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: nebbo on January 20, 2008, 10:47:21 PM
I think your best bet is to edit sprites from some other game, that's what most people do I reckon.

Actually a lot of people I've known (I've been in a few game-making communities... I played with Gamemaker for a little while but personally thought it was crap software... Flash was always more my forte) make their own sprites. It's really not all that hard to do. I could do it myself, but frankly, I don't really have the time to offer my services to anyone right now. Modifying pre-existing sprites is a quick and easy way to do things though.
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Vernamon on January 21, 2008, 07:59:18 AM
yea that is if I can ever find the games which i've had no luck of.
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: cata on January 21, 2008, 09:51:10 PM
Don't give up. I'm sure you'll make a great game and all of us will enjoy it.

you want to be a game designer too ? hell yeah dont' worry when i make my games i going make alot of cameo pics of uy gang _/-\o_
and i would play your game

Just get a few screen grabs with the appropriate actions from the series/movies, cut them out with photoshop and hey presto.  One briliantly animated character.
I'm doing that myself for an amv I am making at the moment. If I can do it, anyone can :)

Movie 1 has a good flying from the side scene, my index 20:39 to 20.41 (minutes/Seconds)
Hope that helps

ok sry if I haven't been back in ages but one I'll have to download the movie and i'll see what GIMP can do since i'm using Linux and currently I don't have Window's because of a virus. Well hopefully someday i'll get that game up and running just haven't had the time and currently the resources to do as such.

i know it's not possible for you but i had an idea for a uy game! how about a game like gta but instead of a city with corruption, the world of urusei yatsura where you play as ataru and you have events happening like in the episodes but you can do whatever you like, follow the events or simply go girl-hunting what do you think? if such a game existed i think that would sell a lot considering the number of uy fans all around the world

P.S. by the way there are already uy games but they only got out in japan, because rumiko didn't allow them to be released out of japan here is one of the few uy games that exist

Ah Endless Summer. I actually have that rom, b ut since I don't understand Japanese, I can't play the game. I'm sure I could find a walkthrough online, but it wouldn't have the same taste. :S

I just wish I had the pacience to learn Japanese. >_<

BTW, what DS emulator you think is the best and easiest to use?
I have downloaded some DS roms but I don't really know what emulator program would work the best and would play most of the games there are....
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Kroptik on July 17, 2008, 06:33:34 PM
Use NO$GBA if you want to emulate DS. Despite the name, it's the best DS emulator I've ever seen (though for GBA, you should use Virtual Boy Advance).

I know its me its been a while and my life has been pretty rough and I haven't had much time to even started it as of yet haven't had the time. I'll have to look into that emulator I found one just to play a UY game but it never worked.  As for a GTA style it sounds like a pretty neat idea as I never really thought about it lol thanks. Though doing it in Gamemaker is gonna be hard and I'm gonna try with Blender a 3D program that's free to use but I still need to learn it. Oh there are a pic I've done on my DA account here's the Link http://www.vernamon.deviantart.com. I happen to be there more than here lol. I'll try coming back here everyso often and I forgot to mention I finally finished the series but not the OVA's.

lol i used to make many games with gamemaker too but the last one i made was about 2 years ago, but i deleted them all xD
As for a GTA style it sounds like a pretty neat idea as I never really thought about it lol thanks.
lol i saw that idea on youtube when i was watching the series, some guy posted it xD

Emulators and Roms - just google it and download them.
DS UY game walkthrough - you need to understand japanese to read them. x)
Title: Re: What If I make a game will you play it?
Post by: Kroptik on September 23, 2008, 12:58:24 AM
I'd advice you not to trust google on getting roms, because some rom sites have viruses or spyware.
If you're trying to get roms, go with torrents, much safer.

As for the emulators, just go to http://www.emulator-zone.com. It's the best website I know for emulators, since they keep updatign their list to the most recent versions.
