Bricklayer

Hi!

I'm working on a game (I get some help w/ graphics etc. The game is called Bricklayer! It is planned to be a multiplayer sandbox.
As I said before, I've already made multiplayer stuff in the past so keep that in mind before you get your doubts.

If you're interested and want to hear more, please join our forum!

Support is very appreciated:
You can help me by suggesting things in the forum, giving me your graphics, commenting and criticizing (negative stuff is absolutely accepted. I'll consider everything you say.

UPDATE:

* Collision
Walls as solid as a rock.
* Tiles
The first set of tiles given by our very first supporters.
* Physics
To keep you away from the bird community.
* Editing
Show us how to make a real map!
* Scrolling
Large maps to emphasis your freedom.

All my favorite elements of a sandbox game!

Re: Bricklayer

It looks like a cheap rip-off of EE. I'll see what it look like when it's finished. I have doubts though.

Re: Bricklayer

What will the game be about?
Can you place blocks? or a shooter?

Re: Bricklayer

@EDJ yes you can place blocks... you can see that in the 3rd video. and I'm not sure what it will be. right now i'm going towards a multiplayer sandbox.
@GadgetGeek instead of stating stuff you could've said what I could do different

Re: Bricklayer

Add 3-D then. Remake the red block player thing with a face. Create a Shop. More Blocks. More realistic block types and wallpaper. Make it seem awesome.
Upgrades needed until you're finally crossing the line to illegally copy a copyrighted game.
Besides, the genre is overused. Change it to a shooter or another genre that is overused yet awesome, or a genre that will be known worldwide. And don't call it "TOWNSNBS" a.k.a. Linus21

If you're referring to Everybody Edits: it's not a copyrighted game and therefore wouldn't be copyright.

Re: Bricklayer

@GadgetGeek the player and the "unrealistic" blocks are because I'm only using what is provided in bricklayer's forum. and graphics is something I could always change so I'm not worried (and I don't find them THAT bad). I will add more tiles in the following updates including more tile types. i don't want a shop or an action game. I want a simple relaxing sandbox game. i really don't mind that the genre is overused. I'm not sure what you mean by "Add 3-D". and thanks for reviewing the game.

@TakoMan02 the game has gravity. see video 3.

Re: Bricklayer

I love how I made all those bricks. Forreal.

And needs some more excitement. Gravity, perhaps?

Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

Re: Bricklayer

I'm not sure what all the negativity is about; it sounds like it would be interesting to play.
I know there are plenty of Everybody Edits "rip-offs", but really, we need some sort of inspiration don't we?

Re: Bricklayer

@Rurigok the game is made in Flash and is halfway done (read my very first post to read what I've added to the game). we're going to work on making it multiplayer. stay tuned!

Re: Bricklayer

Now... I want to ask one thing before I go completely negative on you two:

What original piece(s) are you going to make for this game to make it not seem like a crappy rip-off of EE?

Re: Bricklayer

the tiles are 32x32. the player is a square. it has different physics. as we make it we try not to copy ideas. but sure after all both of them are sandbox games.

Re: Bricklayer

The fact that you haven't had multiplayer in-mind from the very start (i.e the basics of it aren't even implemented) doesn't fill me with confidence. You're going to have to rework a lot of what you've already done probably.

I doubt this will scale very well either, EE was designed to handle a ton of blocks, how are you going to manage that?

Re: Bricklayer

@Toby I need at least something to start off. I'm not going to start transmitting data when there is no player, no physics, no map. So, let's say the player moves I send the position to the server. The player placed a tile, I send it to the server. What triggers the info swapping between the client and server is the function. So every time a player moves, edits, chats or whatever I send a packet. And I never had troubles doing it like that. Sure, if I made a whole game I would need to either spent a lot of time recoding or restarting the whole thing.

UPDATE 2:

To keep you fresh while you wait for the game's release:

We decided to take a few steps back and change some things in the game.
In order to have a nice looking game we need a graphic designer.
And our graphic designer is mniip!
The game looks MUCH more friendly, full of joy and candy!

By the way, the thing at the bottom of the screen is the toolbar. We're reworking the interface. So temporarily there is no editing or the ability to change the face expression.

The engine is VERY solid and I'm pleased with it.

Criticize & Comment.

- Stay tuned for more.

Re: Bricklayer

Still could use some Cleaner Graphics than a Plain color, It's getting there. Don't think I like the background color too much though.

Re: Bricklayer

................ What the f*ck? Joy and candy? And in video number two I thought the forum was the EE forum

and how exactly are you thinking you will make this multiplayer?!

Re: Bricklayer

Forget about the videos. They're very old. The game changed a lot since then. And I'll make it multiplayer the same way I made everything else. With code. And I have experience when it comes to multiplayer games.

Re: Bricklayer

linus 21 has announced in the forum: "The forum is down. And the game wont be done. Becus Fix screwed it."
me and Linus have a lot of disagreements so he got mad at me and banned my account in the forum.
I will continue working on the game like nothing happened. so don't listen to him. I've been coding everything till now.
however, I'm not going to open a new forum (unless someone bothers opening one for me). I will announce when I release the game. if you have more questions feel free to ask here.

Well that's Linus 21 for you. I'm guessing Linus 21 didn't do much for this game. Seems like you are the one doing everything.
