The game is being recreated!

The first ever game I made (well, not really MADE! But modified from another game), is sorta making a comeback. I'm planning to write it in DarbBASIC so that I can learn how to program in DarkBASIC. The language seems simple enough for me, so yea, I'm giving it a try. I don't wanna rely too much on Game Maker already.

All I'm gonna do is recreate the Secret Battle of BeeCatzArena game (mod of the original Catz game, which I do not own), but instead of the Cat as the main character, Mr Ball will be the main character. This game is actually what started the Mr Ball project, would you believe that?

Anyway, a preview of the BeeCatzArena I posted long time ago: http://blproductions93.blogspot.com/2008/07/ooh.html

Yea, so anyway, I can't wait to get started. Though, I'm still very very new to DarkBASIC.

Blast it to bits!

Wow! I never knew Mr Ball could control a thermonuclear explosion!


A very simple attack, Mr Ball says some incantation, then the stage explodes! Had a few problem with the texturing, but in the end, it looks damn cool!

Rest in peace

So, today, I received a terrible news that my teacher's spouse passed away. I won't disclose the name here. I really feel sorry for ..., but the only think I can do is wonder. I'm just curious as to how it happened, but some questions are best left unanswered, though, I'm still very eager to know the real truth behind the sudden passing. I plan to attend the funeral, just to pay my last respects. This just reminds me of my grandma. Death is something very unpredictable. But let's look at the bright side, without death, this whole world will be overcrowded, and everyone will be competing for food, resources and what not.

Impale 'em!

And there you have it! Mr Ball's 5th Special Attack, the mock version of the "Ground Dasher" but I prefer calling it the "Raging Tremor"!

It's going to be the second special attack you can obtain. It does pack a punch in the ass, provided that the enemy is in the active site of the attack. Lol! Active site! Sorry, got caught up with bio there.

One big disadvantage is that it is kinda inaccurate. It's only very useful for slow moving enemies, It's possible to miss the enemies who are moving at moderate speeds entirely.

Here's a demo:



Wow, in just about 1.5 months, the source code of Mr Ball 2 grew by 3 MB. WTF? Anyway, I'm proud to see my Mr Ball growing!

Luminol!!!!

To be honest, Luminol is my favourite chemical. Why? Because it can glow! (Provided that you mix the right chemicals la)
Awh,... don you just love that blue glow of Mr. Luminol??

If I can get hold of at least a few ml of Luminol, I'll be over the moon, no, over Mars! I seriously wanna try making my own glowy stick. Did I mention that I love chemistry?

Rock n Roll!

I'm in the middle of making the sixth level for Mr Ball, well, here's a little screen cap:



Well, I think this is a better view of the stalagmites:

As you can see, it's the rock-using boss. Well, I really love the stalagmites. They are so damn freaking cool! I love it so much I made the boss spam stalagmites! Uh oh, not good...

Oh oh, and in this level, I assume the player buffed up Mr Ball's defense, because the rocks can be a little painful. I tried playing the level and I died like 3 times in less than a minute!

Yay!

Yesh! Interact Installation is over! It's like one big burden's been lifted. Yeah!

It was really a success. All the committee members did their job, though most of them (including me) had procrastinated. In the end, everything came together like pieces of jigsaw puzzle.
