Do I get to be one of the boss levels?  >:D

ChadTower:

You get to be Evil Otto.

Not to get anyone super excited about home-brewed arcade games, but my nephews and I have created an arcade game for the Lime-Aid arcade machine. The game itself was completed using YoYoGames' Gamemaker last summer, and is nearly 100% complete. All the hard stuff is done, we've just been making the levels. My nephews stay with me all summer every summer [they live far away] and they have asked me to not finish it without them. The "story" is that you are a can of Lime-Aid concentrate who is not welcome in the freezer. You wage war against the contents of the freezer and fridge to earn your right to be there, facing off against your much-more-popular nemesis Lemon Aid and the final stage you battle the refridgerator itself. The gameplay is similar to space invaders except they come at you horizontally.

It is not a great game, but it's not bad either. Here's an early version screen shot.



This summer I have stepped it up a bit as my nephews are older and the gamemaker software, while excellent, has a really awkward way of doing things. I have spent the last few months learning how to use Blender to make characters and animations, soon will be delving into motion capture and am already pretty good at Unity 3d game engine with the basics. I'm working on an arcade-style game right now as a project to learn what I am doing so next summer we can create a greater game with some 3d graphics. I have some preliminary animations done for it if anyone wants to see. The premise of my test game is kind of silly, but whatever. You play as my wife Lauren in her work place which is a veterinary hospital. You run around catching escaped puppies of varying intelligence and speed, while avoiding the other employees and clientelle.

I'll not derail this thread any longer.

Several other possible characters:
PBJ spouting bile and chasing you off his lawn.   :oldman

Driverman in Hydra mode -- if you chop off one of his limbs and don't use fire to cauterize it, it grows back double.

I had you as a narrator/guide type, but it's your Forum.
It could be a twist in the plot!
(you did angle your joysticks.....

Actually, I was thinking it could be titled......

BYOAC Episode 1: The Search for Pinballjim.
Maybe that should be saved for the sequel.

I picture Xaiou as a boss who is on a steam roller looking thing that has various arcade controls attached to the roller.
