Seeing who would be down to team up for a game idea. Volcano Man.

ConnorFontaine · Dec 3rd 2012, 12:23am

Ah, I didn't know this. Well I think it would still be cool to have a level like that sort of. Maybe there could be a flood and you escape into a cavern that is still frozen since the planet is not completely heated?

Or maybe since that volcano man is very hot (and ice is water), if a player just stands in the same place for too long (icey area), they heat up the ice (which turns into water), thus, putting him out? (or causing him to lose health?)

ConnorFontaine · Dec 3rd 2012, 2:11am

Yeah that would make for some great level design. Like a frozen lake or river or something? That could be really fun.

If you want a new voice actor, hit me up. :] (And I do have experience)

Sharky · Dec 3rd 2012, 3:53am

Ben, we'll be sure to. At the moment, only one voice actor is required since Volcano Man is the only humanoid.

I don't think voice acting is needed tho.

ConnorFontaine · Dec 3rd 2012, 4:09am

I don't think a voice actor is needed for this game. But future projects will definitely need one or more. So your contributions would be much appreciated my fine sir.

Well I'm soon going to go to college and taking game design as my minor so once we get some shit done I can help out A LOT MORE in Unity

YES.

ConnorFontaine · Dec 5th 2012, 7:29am

So has anyone drawn up any new ideas for Volcano Man?

Sharky · Dec 5th 2012, 7:34am

No new sketches yet.

Project is kinda at a stop at the moment, lack of spriters. \:

Well time to take matters into our own hands. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

There's a piece of artwork coming in that hits what I imagine volcano man as almost perfectly. But it's not completely finished yet, the artist will upload it soon :3

DarkRaven13 · Dec 5th 2012, 8:43am

I got an idea. A story idea.

I have an idea for volcano man. After completing each world (or whatever) you get an upgrade for either health or mana bar ( mana for fireballs and such). May sound like mega man but oh we'll, just throwing It out there.

ConnorFontaine · Dec 5th 2012, 6:28pm

I really like the dream idea and the health or mana idea as well.

GoGetA · Dec 5th 2012, 6:31pm

The general idea was after each volcano ignition he would get a new ability. Also with the ice cavern we thought of the cave flooding because of the newly ignited volcano so it becomes a timed level where you have to escape before you become trapped in the cavern

Sharky · Dec 5th 2012, 6:33pm

I agree with Alex's idea. Timed level after each major ignition level, that sounds pretty intense.

In the first post, I see a level design of a big ice cavern.
And, I have an interesitng idea.
In a part of the cavern, maybe the near end, the cavern begins to collapse because of something, so Volcano Man has to quickly find a way out of the cavern, the cave's ground is collapsing too, so Volcano Man has to be careful with his step.

And.. I have a really werid idea.. Maybe, it doesn't have much impact to the story, but it will be very interesting if you can add it to the game.

In a part of the game, Volcano Man is unconcious or dying, and he has a nightmare. It can be about his past, or a vision about the future, or his fears / concerns if he fail to save the planet.*1* It's a somewhat weird, dark, and twisted level, with unique and hard puzzles (in a dream, everything can happens right?),The level is more focused in puzzles and "horror" *2* part.

*1* Like a flashforward?
*2* Isn't that basically the concept of Amnesia?

(this project has pretty much come to a halt due to those spriters", damn it. Has anyone been redirecting people here besides Connor? We need more!

Well.. my 2nd idea isn't inspired by Amnesia, it just comes out from my mind because I like a scary level with hard puzzles. Like the "Otherworld" version of Silent Hill.

And, I'm agree with Gogeta's idea, that's what actually I'm thinking.. a time based level.

Is anybody writing this shit down? Eventally, we'll have enough concepts to build a full plan, start to end.
