I thought of that a bit, card game... meh, I forgot what happened to that idea, but it's earlier in this thread somewhere...

[norsenerd]

I can;t do the entire card game by myself. Particulary comeing up wiht all th ideas for cards. I may get to it eventully but help woudl speed that up.

Hokay...I wish I'd gotten here sooner. (Since, you know, I was the first to mention a game, back in the movie thread.) I might as well explain my idea. Millie drags Ozy along on this bizarre adventure, her quest for the Taco of Doom (remember the tag ending to that Locke story?).<br>Stage 1: Searching through Llewellyn's labyrinth of a basement (this works because we've seen the attic but not the basement, have we?) for some supplies they need. This would be like a maze that's "punched out" so it looks 3D even though it's 2D animation (sorry I can't come up with any old examples of this; you gaming veterans should know what I mean). Once they get everything they go to this portal thingy that gets you to Stage 2, which is...um...anybody??<br>Stage 3: You're in some old-fashioned seaport town trying to rent a boat to sail across the ocean to the Forbidden Island where, Millie says, the Taco lurks. This would be a 2D Monkey Island adventure thing, and Millie is the one you control because she's got a pocket. Anyway once you're able to get the money ($700, of course) and get in the boat, you're in...<br>Stage 4: The boat is attacked by pirates. They are hitting the boat with pies. I don't know what to do at this point but after that they get out a huge slingshot and sink the boat. (The idea is this is like the "Finding Nemo" game where you have to keep chasing the boat until it gets away from you anyway.)<br>Stage 5: The pirates turn out to be GUESS WHO! Locke, who in this game has not yet been revealed as Millie's dad (remember this started on the heels of a 2001 story), takes them aboard and tells them they are prisoners (I am deliberately withholding details so as not to give away the good parts yet). Again as Millie, and again playing MI-style, you have to convince them to take you to the Forbidden Island. It's complicated, but in the process you also acquire a dead fish.<br>Stage 6: Some sort of platformer on the island that I'll figure out later.<br>Stage 7: Another platformer. As Ozy, you fight off various deranged foodstuffs using the fish as a weapon. Finally you have to face the Taco itself, which also is alive. End.<br>Technical details: Probably I'd use Flash for the animation because it uses vector graphics and is therefore smoother. But that's just me. And no, right now I don't know how to program it (but I'm going to college to learn programming, so maybe in four years...)

[Zylo]

That's probably the most complete game idea yet. I say go for it.

[UltimateVG]

I'd use Game Maker for the idea. Sounds great for a plot.

[Burning Sheep Productions]

I dunno, this sounds a bit much for GM.<br>But I don't know if anyone here can program that well in flash.

[Ozymandias]

"Gentlemen, your conversation makes interesting listening." (i love that quote...from somewhere)<br><br>Well, im preety good at flash art, and have been working on drawing O&M in pencil. I keep getting better, so i'm willing to help Henohenomoheji and Norsenerd with their card game (some sketches tro be refined in photoshop (which i cant use well :/ ) and also ideas for cards/goals etc.)<br><br>I also have a pretty good friend whose quite good at programming in flash.<br><br>All I will say is if u need me, call.

Aaargh! Gimp!<br>Get it away!

[norsenerd]

I think you shoudl use Maxis or Sierra.

Personally, I hate the GIMP because it's slow and 2.0 is a huge joke in itself. The only good thing to from from it was the GTK, which isn't that good, either.

[norsenerd]

The idea is not that it woudl cost money but that it woudl make money.

[Burning Sheep Productions]

But who really has any money in the first place to make more money?
