Project: Bomberman

[mckill2009]

Project: Bomberman 0.1a

I'm creating an emulated version of Bomberman that has the same concept as the NES game,
although the Idea is very simple but I know that it's very hard to make. Wish me luck!


===GAMEPLAY===
(not much to say at the moment)
- 10 maze like stages/levels
- Each stage has a door just like in the NES game
- Timer for each stage
- Plant bombs to kill enemies
- Destroy obstacles by attacking them (not in the NES game)
- Arrow key movement
- Find regions to open gates



v0.1 - Terrain has been updated
v0.1a - Released
v0.1b - New added terrain with maze
v0.2 - COMING VERY SOON

[RedClaw]

im in as terrainer

 

[Trydene]

Gonna make 2 mazes for you! Probably gonna have the sketch by tomorrow afternoon lol

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

I can help you on the bomb system and terrain if you want.

 

[mckill2009]

wait Trydene, dont make it yet coz Im gonna make the first phase of the map and the trigger of the bomb...

@Blindman

I already create the system (timer system), the problem is the Idea on how to do the bomb explode to horizontal/vertical/cross and it must be MUI coz if not then the timer will mess up...

 

[defskull]

I think you should PM Vizel, he's good, I mean, VERY GOOD at old school games, trust me =D
I'm in as Spell Maker, friend =D

 

[RedClaw]

the terrain is not that good i mean i can make a arena with destructible dodads only and its like bomberman

 

[mckill2009]

Im gonna give a teaser of this map, hopefully tonight, I already created the bomb system, now Im creating the blocks & AI...

well im gonna try to contact VIzel, but he's too busy, defskull & eternal I would like you to make the other 4 arena...

EDIT

Test map available, please see on how the gameplay works...
Do not expect too much for test map coz its very far from complete...

 

[Trydene]

Too late xD Already made 2 mazes this morning lol Didn't take long xP

 

[GhostThruster]

Sounds cool, and I remember playing another map of this. Testing and giving feedback...

EDIT: Tested.
Review:
Gameplay - 8/15 - needs to be more friendly. It's so hard to kill them with a bomb, and I dislike the addition of Storm Bolt. Perhaps give bombs AoE or shorter timer instead. I also think you should add Arrow Key movement.
Fun - 10/15 - I guess it could be entertaining, especially with more players, but as of now it is too simple, but that's because it's Pre-Beta
Plot - N/A - This map lacks a plot(not a bad thing), so it can not be judged
Polish - N/A - Pre-Beta, so I don't expect it to be perfect

Overall - 18/30 = 3/5 - it is average currently. But I'm sure it will be heaps better. Some suggestions:
Arrow key - arrow key - arrow key!
No Storm Bolt, just improve the bombs

Good job and good luck.

@Trydene
@EternalWow2010
@Defskull
@Blindman

I already add you to the credit list & +rep...

Please people, use the above map as the main map...

to all terrainer, please make 2 puzzle/maze each...

to the spellmaker defskull, please make the trigger for the 2 Areas, just like what I did example...update multiboard/kills/timer, etc...

Important: Please do not change/remove anything that I already made, you may add but dont change/remove...thanks!

 

[Trydene]

Hmmmm so I just add the 2 mazes I made to your map? If so, how much room can I take up?

 

[mckill2009]

@GhostThruster

Thanks for the good comment, arrow keys will be implemented & Storm bolt will be enhanced as a special ability, coz I want the enemy to be 'pause'...

@Trydene

just make 2 for the moment milady, I will wait for your map & Eternal's reply, if he dont want it, then we'll make it...

 

[RedClaw]

ok

 

[GhostThruster]

No probs; Are you gonna spice the terrain up with maybe doodads, custom tilesets etc?

 

[mckill2009]

Yes Im gonna put many doodads, but custom titleset maybe not...arrow keys is finished...

@for the terrainers

Trydene Im gonna wait for your updated map, Eternal, you may do the 3rd phase after Trydene is finished...

Im doin the triggering, as for defskull & blindman, Im waiting for your reply for this matter,
if you're not interested plz tell me today

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Try placing a storyline. Maybe Peach (PERSON TO BE RESCUED) is kidnapped then Mario (BOMBERMAN) tries to save her. And for multiple bomb explode system try placing a line with dummies aligned which Kaboom on their positions after the bomb is planted.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

It looks really interesting, considering this is the best version of Bomberman I've seen so far in the huge pile of 'Bomberman' maps, good job
Also, once this game gets popular, you could edit the terrain to make it look erm, prettier.

PS: I'm really sorry if I've said anything wrong...

 

[mckill2009]

@Blindman

Storyline will be after the terrain, but I really can't do the explosion in a 'line' coz of a bug/situation which I cant explain at the moment...so are you still interested in making the other 2 terrain?

@Miss Foxy

Tnx for your comment, and dont be sorry, I need that coz I want this map to be good...

off topic: btw you didnt answer my PM to you before?

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Okay

 

[mckill2009]

@Trydene

Tnx for your maze, its nice!...now Im gonna apply some monsters!

 

[Trydene]

No Problem

 

[mckill2009]

@Eternal

Use the map I posted here to create the 2 more terrain...as of now I will not touch this map until you've made some changes...

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Well ok and sorry if I see your posts late. Im not online much. And how about changing the title to Mario Bomberman. I could also make the loading screen for you if you want and im also making a maze for your map if its ok, its a sewer type.

 

[mckill2009]

BLindman, if you're making a maze type, pls use the map I posted...about the MArio Bomberman, no need...about loading screen I'll create it, I just need the mazes for the time being...

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Yes, thats what I am using by now. And ill add some more monsters or boos for the new maze.

 

[Trydene]

Anything else you want me to do?

 

[mckill2009]

@Blindman

I only request for terrain dude, but if you already added monsters I'll check them...so when will it be released?...

@Trydene

not for now my dear, just let me finish other things in here, but anyway, you may give me spell ideas so that I can make them...

 

[Trydene]

frost bomb? blinding bomb? etc

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

How about Cross Bomber which makes a bomb in a cross form?

 

[mckill2009]

trydene, I need description of the spells...

blindman, where's the map dude?, pls give me now so that i can start to update it, also cross bomb cant be applied coz of the maze type terrain...

 

[Trydene]

Frost Bomb
(You decide on CD and such)
Creates a blue glowing bomb on the ground in which deals X damage and slows them by 70% for X seconds.

Blind Bomb
Creates a bomb in which blinds the target for X amounts of seconds making them unable to perform any action.

Doom Bomb
Creates a skull looking bomb on the ground which does X damage per second for X seconds.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Im not yet finished. Im almost done but I will try to finish it quickly. Not using my computer now so I cant edit it and attach it.
I also have spell ideas:
- Water Bomb
Creates a watery bomb which does only a few damage but slows the unit for X seconds.

- Mushroom Bomb
Plants a bomb which explodes giving no damage but any unit within X of the caster but gives speed bonus and bomb damage bonus.

- Sun Bomb
Can only be activated when in day. Destroys all units within a short range of the caster.

-The Hammer Bros. Bomb
Plants a hammer like bomb which after X seconds, explodes and summons 2 Hammer Bros. going berserk and attacking nearby units.

- Scare-away Bomb
Plants a bomb which summons friendly boos which explode when in contact with other boos.

 

[mckill2009]

thnx for you ideas...

blindman, you dont need to make the terrain epic & no need to apply too many units coz Im gonna do it myself...

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

OK heres the map.

 

[mckill2009]

Tnx for all your help people, I'll make sure that I will update this map very soon, right now version 0.2 is coming with a maze to solve (no enemies)...

 

[RedClaw]

good to know

 

[defskull]

Is this progressing ?

 

[mckill2009]

yes this is still in progress, but not now, Im busy in real life & learning Hashtables...
