Hello MFGG, I'm proud to show you guys a game me and a couple other guys are making, ones a programmer(Pinpickle), a spriter(Ethan), and another spriter(Me).

Hopefully some of the sprites you can pick out as being mine, I hope you enjoy this game, its gameplay is like Knytt.

QUOTE (Pinpickle)

Hello, and thanks for looking at this topic.
Recently I began progress on a game called A Lost Cause, and at first I did not want to release a WIP.
But sooner I realised that this game will not get a good name without people trying it out first, and it may have things that people will not like, so here is the WIP of A Lost Cause.

Description:
You start off in some barren deserted land, with nothing but grey and a savepoint, your only choice is to explore.
This game is a 2D exploration platformer and in which there will be much exploration. The goal of the game is to revive the barren lands into it's original form, and do that in any means possible. You start off with no body parts, you are only a block, as you progress you find more and achieve your true potential.

Screenshots:
Gameplay

Current features:
Two worlds (and one unfinished one)
One boss
A body part to obtain
An enemy
NPCs (but a bad place-holder sprite for them)
Buildings that you can enter
A menu
Music
A pause screen
One example minigame
And some other things I forgot

Features to come:
More worlds
More bosses
More body parts
More enemies
A better pause screen
The place holder graphics gone
And some other things I forgot

Freezing:
If this game freezes for you, please say when. I have had multiple freeze reports and I am trying to narrow down what is causing it.

Version updates
V 0.1
Game added

V 0.11
Game file put in a .zip
Minigame glitch fixed

V 0.15

No more death sequence, hopefully getting rid of the glitch. A new one will replace it soon.

V 0.2
Completely new message system
Menu now has instructions
No more freezing if you die and haven't saved your game now
Pause no longer freezes some games
Extreme lag issue solved with gameplay
New minigame
Foot added
Eyes added
New ice world
All minigames now have the dimensional surf feel

Abscure website:
I am in a team called Absure Games and this is the website.

One last thing:
When replying please say what you liked and what you didn't like, this game is still in early development and ready for change, so if you want something to be changed ask for it.

your typical MMF user Group: Members Posts: 1341 Member No.: 4893 Joined: 2-January 08 Status: (0d)	Feels way too much like Knytt Stories, but I suppose that isn't bad. I got to around the part where some black ghastly ball started attacking me. Other than that, not much else to say besides platforming. My only suggestion is a smaller screen, maybe more backgrounds that aren't gradients, and a font change. Seems good to me though. You guys appear to be on the right track. Also, for some reason there's a small pause when saving. If alot of data is being processed, then maybe having a "-saving-" text above it would work out nicely too. Good job so far though.

Well honestly, I'm not that much into RPGs, I'm just really into how graphics are worked out in games. I'd be kinda sad if all the beach was ruined by mosters popping up every now and then, so please leave some of the beautiful beach alone

But monkeys would probably make sense, throwing coconuts and all at people passing by. Ohhh that'd probably be fun.

edit: oh yeah and maybe more than 30 fps
