Smash Masters. i might actually make this if i get help.

[Vlad Shadeu]

if anyone here is interested in learing Gamemaker, i am attempting to make a game similar to SSB. this has not gone too well, mainly because i am an idiot. i have sprites, ideas, and plans for design. i need GM coder people and meebe some spriters to make some of the other stuff i need.
i plan to make some charas members into characters in said fighting platformer if they want, mainly to fill empty space on the rewards list.the only character releases for this game i might never create will be hidden in riddles below.remember, i doubt this will actually be made unless i get help soon.

meanwhile, here is some riddles to learn some of the few characters i am considering.(each hint is a seperate character)

1. Adam West: tell the ____ that he won't get my pizza today! (fill in the blank)Depuzzled by Razor~~ The Noid

2. He wasn't only in Wario Land, you know. in fact, he used to have his OWN series of games

3. Fat, Strong, and obbssesed with gold. Depuzzled by coasterkrazy~~~ Wario

4. blue hair, strong magic, and a will to win (you ain't NEVER gonna get this one, only i've heard of him)Answer given away~~ Vladimir Lorenzo Shadeu

5. Gun's aren't the only thing that Squaresoft turned into blade combinations, you know.Depuzzled by coasterkrazy~~~ Sora


6. Baby... electric pokemon... both have  been used. but let's find another pokemon that fits the bill
Depuzzled by coasterkrazy~~~ Elekid

7. ____, i am your father! (fill in the oh-so-obvious blank)Depuzzled by coasterkrazy~~ Luke Skywalker

8. Gum? more like taffytaffy to me. Answer given away~~ Monkey D. Luffy

2nd array of hints:

13. and the spider hath divided into two, and then into three, and the spider was blue and red, and his creations where either blue or red. I LIKEY DA BLUE GUY!

14. smarter than the average bear, but why is he fighting?Depuzzled by Grandy~~ Yogi!

15. a hedgehog, an echidnia, and... A BAT? (this fighter is the last one)Depuzzled by Grandy~~ Rouge the bat

3. Wario

5. Sora

6. Elekid

That's all I know off the bat. :p

[Vlad Shadeu]

good, good.
so lemme guess, everyone else just blew this topic off without ever reading it?
btw, i simplified a hint

[Vlad Shadeu]

as i said, i might not make the game /add all of these, but these are the ones i am considering. MORE HINTS!remember though, not all will be added

10.it wasn't planes that killed him... it was you!

11. who could ever love that nine-tailed demon freak! she can.

12. pink is not her color.... sasuke is. (yes i am planning 2 Naruto reps)

13. and the spider hath divided into two, and then into three, and the spider was blue and red, and his creations where either blue or red. I LIKEY DA BLUE GUY!

14. smarter than the average bear, but why is he fighting?

15. a hedgehog, an echidnia, and... A BAT? (this fighter is the last one)

16.they used to fight, but then pills would kill them. they are back and now pill-resistant (the first squadrant character)

[Phayre]

Let's see...
I spy Kagome, Rouge, Sakura....
You seem to target things I hate. Inu Yasha, Naruto, late Sonic games, Kingdom Hearts, Star Wars.... *dies*
I dunno. I was talking with some folks at gamingw about an SSB type game. It seems hard. How experienced are you, anyway?

EDIT: I mixed up my demons. Thank God, no Inu Yasha. The world needs no more of that, so apologies muchly.

[Vlad Shadeu]

who in god's name is Kagome?
btw, i am taking requests if i can find a sprite
also, to answer and have me put it up there you gotta put the number next to it.
i know how the basis of fighting physics work. i think i can do it. i think i will have the most trouble with menus, actually. as i said, i need help. but i might be able to wing it alone. i dunno.

[Vlad Shadeu]

if any 1 person can get 5 unanswered riddles correct i will reveal some of the characters and backgrounds that aren't ripped from anywhere!

[Razor]

The first one is the Noid, methinks

[Vlad Shadeu]

the noid is correct.
so, anyone wanna learn gamemaker? anyone wanna help? anyone wanna submit character sprites?anyone have requests for characters? anyone think i'm asking too many questions? anyone?

EDITED IN PART: here are some i would really like a sprite sheet and permission from to add in to the game, if they would like:

Pharye
Grandy
Warxe
Meiscool

guys, PLEASE HELP ME. I REALLY NEED SUPPORT

[coasterkrazy]

Before I say anything else, 7 is Luke. :p

*Sigh*

Vlad Shadeu

guys, PLEASE HELP ME. I REALLY NEED SUPPORT

Since it seems no one else feels like wasting his or her breath, I'll say it, even though I haven't been extremely active in a long time now.

I'm going to make this short and simple. This will probably seem harsh, but I figure I'll just be painfully honest. You will get little to no response from this game. The way it looks, it looks like the hundreds and hundreds of other threads saying "I'm making this game" that have nothing but ideas up in the air and die out within a couple months at the latest. My suggestion to you (and to all people who do this sort of thing really) would be to do something first, and then be able to show people that you are really serious. If they see that, they may or may not be interested in pitching in a bit to help you.

As it is, you have everything against you making this thread. Let me make a short list:
1) You have not shown us anything.
2) You have brought nothing to the table in terms of new ideas.
3) No one here even knows who you are.

And finally, last but certainly not least, if other people make your game, then it isn't your game. Games are hard to take on alone. Trust me, I've tried before, and it has never worked. It is especially impossible if you plan on doing extremely difficult custom things (such as programming this system).

My final advice: plan before you jump in. The first question to ask yourself is always "Is this realistic?"

If you think I'm being mean, then I'm sorry, but if you took the time to look at many threads in the games forum, you'd see that people get much worse (i.e. flamed) and many times don't even get an explanation at all because people are tired of wasting their time explaining.

My guess is this will be dead within a certain amount of time, like all the others. I challenge you to prove me wrong.

EDIT: Just noticed this isn't even in the games forum. Wrong forum then, unless the central focus was the riddles, in which case I think the forum gaming forum would be better. Whatever, though, I don't want to be accused of MINI-MODDING OMG. I hate that term with a passion...

[Phayre]

Yeah, I'd really like to see some examples of your coding et cetera before I make a sprite. Ideas are great, but you don't seem to have any definite plans.
Is this your first gamemaker project? Have you used any other engines (RPG maker et cetera)? What kind of experience do you have with this stuff?
People would be more likely to help if they saw more thought. I'm trying to be supportive, but all I'm seeing is begging for help.
Try:
-posting some sprites you've done
-showing us an idea of how you plan on coding this
-posting a definite list of characters (not counting charas folks who haven't agreed
-maybe some concept screens

Most games that people pay attention to around here have at least some of this stuff. Remember, this is still your project.

[Vlad Shadeu]

thanks for critiqueing it.
the sprites used in this test level are from digscape, the initial level in adventure mode. this simply contains wario and lance, and neiter of them do damage (yet). lance is controllable with the arrow keys and i didn't program any attacks, mainly because he will only have 1 in the finished game. wario is controlled with WASD, and he can bash using the Z key, although, as i said, i didn't import damage for now.

if you are wondering why there is no definete char list, that is because i think it'll always change, and besides, i need input on what to put.

 A teensy little demo

[Ace of Spades]

XD is 8 Gumby?

[Phayre]

I'll try the demo later. Right now, I need a shower.
A suggestion? Maybe add some folks who haven't been in fighters. I know Wario's in the new SSB, and there are a bunch of Naruto fighters. It'll take work on the edits, but what if you took characters from your favorite anime games who would be fun to play as? I mean, imagine the main character of your favorite novel facing off against a minor but fun character in some anime you love?

EDIT: I don;t know much about gamemaker, am willing to learn, but this seems.... odd. At least it's something, I'll give you that. Rather glitchy, with the way the sprite faces, and he just seems to glide.... admittedly, jumping up and down was more fun than it should have been. Oh, and watching Wario charge hopelessly into a wall.... ^^

[Ace of Spades]

I think it'd be pretty sick if you could play as/fight the Kool-Aid Man. OH YEAH!!!
