Shy Guy Pikmin - Minigame Comp - V1.1, Phase Engine Test.

Okay, so I'm entering the Minigame Competition.

STORY: General Guy and his troop of Shy Guys have been scattered. You must find your missing comrades, and command them towards safety to the base.

Controls (Subject to change overtime)
Left-Right : Movement
Space : Jump
Z: Order Shyguys to stop following/continue following
X: Order Shyguys to move to a position (move the ridicule to target position with directional arrows and press X again)

Here's my latest download (V1.1):
Media Fire Download - V1.1

Version 1.0:
- Made physics engine.
- Made Shyguy (I'll just say Pikmin) AI for following the leader, AND to jump walls.
- Made it possible to make the pikmin stop following the leader.

Version 1.1:
- Pikmin now jump whenever they are near position whenever you jump. It's got jumping delay, so the pikmin in the back of the line will jump last.
- Pikmin will only jump walls if they are able to actually pass over it.
- Reduced pikmin limit to 10.
- Created a "Move to target position". This only applys to the X Value. Not the Y Value. The Pikmin will move to the position if possible, clustering around it.
- Everyone moves slightly faster.
- Fixed a few issues.

Plans for Version 1.2:
- Added individual commanding (eg. Make only one Shyguy stop following)
- Better jumping AI
- Created about 3 more commands (Diving, Order, Carry)
- Implement different colors (partially)

C&C Please. I'll post screenshots when I actually get worthwhile ones.

Wow, this sounds nice!

Aaaaww. No one has even tried it yet ;_;

Reminds me to the Kirby vs. ShyGuy comic from Peardian.

That's exactly what it's based off of actually. :P

@Yak: Oh.....lawl. Meh.

Tried it. It's really limited with no actual gameplay. Currently, it's actually only ordering Shy Guys to go to places, so it has nothing to do with Pikmin currently.

screenies plez

You people and your "screenies" sometimes. If you read through the entire first post, you'd notice at the bottom (very bottom), I wrote that I'll only add screenies when they are worthwhile. Is it really that hard to download about 2MB and find out yourself? You aren't going to judge the game based on screenshots, are you?

@MechaBowser: True. However, this is merely a 3-Day thing so far. Eventually, you'll find that you actually need to find the Shy Guys around the stage, before being able to command them.

It's spelled "Shy Guy" actually. Shy-Guy is acceptable (it's how it was spelled in SMB2) but it's really Shy<spacebar>Guy.

On-topic time! This looks like it could be promising, though you really shouldn't be calling this is a demo. It's more of an engine. Still, the idea is awesome (even if Peardian came up with it) and playing as General Guy makes me a happy Neo. Now keep this up and I'll know who to vote for.

Oooh this is good! I love it. Also will this ever be an open source? Because I got some pikmin sprites I would like to see in action...
