Platform Shooter: Little Green Soldier (NOW ON ARCADE!)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33614587/LGS/index.html

Ehh.... new link. Fixed some stupid bugs like the tutorial text not going away, loading percentage being stuck at a certain number etc.

Please do inform me on any remaining bugs...or any feedback on the game itself! Thanks!

Very Cool

ALLMarkMade Thanks! :)

Alright, new stuff:

Redid the kid (now named Bud) because the previous portrait was rushed.

Above him is his dad, Porter. A silent, grim man, but also a genius engineer.

Up next - the mom. Man, there's so many things to do before I can finish up the village itself...

Very nice game. Could do with a checkpoint in the first level though!

— Thanks!! I might just make a checkpoint for it, and I'll keep that in mind for the rest of the levels as well.

And now -- Cast of Characters!! (those in the village, at least. NOT A COMPLETE LIST but these are the main guys)

Bud

The young 6 year old who finds you in the middle of nowhere, and carries you back to his village. Everyone's appalled by his bringing back a little green man, but at Bud's insistence, he gets to keep his "nice pet alien" -- you!

Porter

Bud's daddy. Quiet and mysterious, but clearly protective of his wife and son. He's hardworking and an all-around genius, having made up some brilliant inventions to share with the village folk. Always cooped up in his lab on some research.

Colombe

Bud's mom. A kind and loving soul, she doesn't hesitate when asked to take care of the newcomer alien. She was an extreme feminist in her younger days, but now when her husband is managing everything by himself, she feels a little useless...especially when the world is in a crisis.

Canis

Bud's uncle and Colombe's younger brother. A laidback guy who can put on a grin during hard times. Always sneaking around the village -- seems to be up to something.

As always, comment if you feel like it!

Hey, played Level 1 and i really like it :)this sucking principle is genius!!

But some things...

-the game is called little green soldier, but i have been orange after the first absorbing the whole time ^^

-sound muted when i entered the building

-there is no music here, would defly like to hear some nice chiptune :)

all in all, it?s a great start!! really cool! :)

Beaverlicious Thanks much!!

That's odd...I swear I never programmed the music stopping!!

Someone's pointed out the music glitch already.

I dismissed it because I never faced it myself, but I guess I really have to look into it now!

Thanks for notifying :)

And the alien's default color is green!

For example in the village (which I'm starting to program) you will always walk around in green mode. And you'll be spending a lot of time in the village.

Moreover...Green might not just refer to the alien's color. ;) Energy conservation is (going to be) a theme in the game, after all.

Hey I found that the audio issue only happens for me on Firefox. On Chrome the game runs great. I did come across a bug that if you get some energy and start running and shooting. As long as you are running you will never run out of energy even if you hit zero and can keep on shooting. As long as you don't stop running or jump you have unlimited firepower. I love the extra bit you tagged on at the end with the sand storm. Can't wait for another release.

VictoryX

Hey, thanks a lot. Er...is there something I can do about browser differences? I'm still finding my way around Construct...

Oh yeah, I've ran into the running bug a couple of times and it just slipped my mind eventually. Thanks! I'll fix it.

Anyway, now I'm whipping up all the graphics for the village which you return after every level as a home base. Sneak preview of the stuff I'm doing:

Yeah, there's an angel statue featured in the village. And *shhh* it's actually a robot. And it's plot-important!

Aaaand here's another 'I'm alive and so is my project' update! Consisting shamelessly of 3 screenshots only!

Welcome to the village. Coming up soon...after I finish all the house interiors and relevant events.

As always, any comments and/or feedback will be much appreciated!!

Right! So...more characters! (Man, this village thing is tasking.)

<img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb366/IC-Claws/GrampsFull_zpsf5f3ecfa.png" border="0" />

Grandpa Cheval (Chev)

Father to Canis and Colombe. A potato couch who's glued to the TV all day long, keeping watch of H.U.M.A.N.I.T.Y.'s propaganda scene all around the world. Gramps is strongly opinionated about the new government, and isn't afraid to curse every now and then - even in front of his grandson!

<img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb366/IC-Claws/GrannyFull_zpsf83c3b8b.png" border="0" />

Raven

Mother to Porter. She's only rumored to exist - a legitimately insane old lady, living in a cave way out of the villagers' sight. Her existence has never been acknowledged by her son.

Next I might post some concept art of some of the characters!

As always, comment if you ever feel like it =)

You have another "Still Alive" update? or to busy with school?

School first!!!

I really wish so! Alas, a few weeks ago my computer suffered a mysterious death, and I've only recovered half of my capx file. Which means my village and cutscenes are gone. :<

It's not totally dead - one fine day I might actually still be able to revive my computer and save the files to dropbox in time - but for now, especially when I'm also swamped with school projects (IB program!), I think I'll leave this project alone for a while.

But you have my word that I will return to it and complete it.

Many thanks for looking out for this project of mine! I really appreciate it.

Hey Nixel, this is a very COOL game! Congrats! Do you plan to create a mobile browser version out of it? If so we would like to license your game. Please contact me at "andre.krug@softgames.de". We always want new cool games !

Mr Krug:

Hi! I'm honoured by your offer. It's very tempting, but I had to consider it carefully before I could make up my mind, so my apologies for the delayed reply.

At this point in time, I'm still a student working on this project in my spare time - which means that I probably don't have the time to make a mobile version for this game. What's more, I think I'll end up using a lot of keys/buttons for this game, which might not be suitable for mobile version.

So, thank you very much for the offer, but I will unfortunately have to put you on hold for the time being. My sincerest apologies.

****

Anyway, while I'm waiting for my old laptop to get repaired, here's all the concept art I have. It's all dark and smudgy because my pencil drawing is light and I'm an amateur at using scanners.

Canis, village bartender and a cool cat in general. My favourite character, personally.

Canis and Colombe, the siblings.

Porter, inventor and village genius.

Cheval, father of Colombe. Couch potato and very much into politics.

The General - hero of the propaganda.

As always...comment if you feel like it!

I really hope I can recover my game soon
