The problem with having someone code one is you'll have to pay them in advance. Nobody is dumb enough to think the MAME community is going to pay for the game after someone has put it out there. It always gets dropped on the net and stolen.

Well, let's do a headcount. How many of you are interested in a clone of the Fix it Felix jr. game. And how many are still interested if they have to donate $25 (beforehand) for the time I will be spending on research?

And what would you like to have in the game? I'm thinking of a couple of things:

Vertical or horizontal?
Low resolution for crt screens
High resolution with some hlsl shaders (scanlines, glow, etc) for lcd screens
Kill screen
Same functionality as the flash game (the one on facebook, not the one on the disney site).

Oh come on guys, if you're going to put all the time into coding a new game... make it something that's actually unique and interesting, instead of the derivative game Disney threw together. Make a contest where everyone pitches in $25 and their game idea. Then have the community vote.

Vertical, low-rez, kill screen, same as flash. $25 pre-ordered.

Well if you guys are serious about it you might post on KLOV too. There are people on there who have already built dedicated Fix it Felix cabinets.

Of all the versions I have played, (imo) the full version on the iPad is by FAR the best. The free iPad version isn't quite right either. When I had it, it only went up so many levels and then repeated.

The Flash versions on Disney and Facebook miss things like the jump animation between the windows and Ralph throws bricks super chaotically. On the iPad the levels get harder and ramp up to include the birds later and include more screens to get to the top.

I would be in for a vertical, iPad-like one for $25 for sure.

I am in 100% agreement with 34k, the full ipad version is the best so for, Still needs the "I'm gonna wreck it" audio sample though
I'll toss in $25 for something close to that

Hey, its Rick, the guy who re-created the FIFjr arcade artwork for your cabs.

Cool idea you all have, hope to see it done and as close to the actual version. I will be watching this thread closely as I am sick of playing the web version in my cab.. LOL Some advice, I would for sure not charge to have it.. just create it, distribute it for free and put your "code name" hidden in there somewhere so everyone knows you created it. You will be proud enough for creating it I think that reward itself is worth it. Don't want Disney on your ass.

I second this, but money is the all powerful moving object. If he goes this route of doing it for free without pre-order I am sure many of use would still donate to the project if he provided a paypal account to do so. I for one would donate\buy a copy.

Edit: Either way I am glad I mentioned someone building it as it makes me happy to see some kind of movement in making this a reality.

Banana Royale Redux, anyone?

Maybe our favorite game coder has an update for the terribly neglected original thread, too?

Pretty easy to overlook those sticky threads.

BUCKETHEAD · « **Reply #55 on:** December 29, 2012, 06:24:46 am »

I'm in $25 where do i send it?
I would love to see it just like the original.
Intro where the Bulldozer pushes away Ralph's stump to the Landfill.
The crane's build the Niceland Apts. Nice Landers move in.
Ralph says (I'm Gonna Wreck it !) Climbs the building, Throws a Nicelander across the screen!
Then Trashes the building.

Vertical

39 Levels with a KILL Screen.

Yes i'm just ready for some movement of some kind.
I will gladly donate!

I noticed some guy said on KLOV shelve the idea till Wreck it Ralph comes out on DVD.
To study the 8-bit gameplay. Wreck it Ralph can already be found on the net.
So don't shelve it for that reason.

CoryBee · « **Reply #57 on:** December 29, 2012, 11:42:41 am »

Got to messing around in GameMaker Studio, not to produce anything fantastic, I just like to learn new things software and the like. Made a little fix-it-felix thingy. Can't tell you how much fun I had messing about with this program.

"Game" is at 480x473

-Controls-

Left & Right Keys - Moves Left and Right 40 pixels

Space Bar - Initiates Hammer Sprite

Shift Key - Resets Felix back to main sprite

Ctrl Key - Special transform into Ralph sprite

File Download

While muckin about I came up with an idea of an off-shoot of Fix-It-Felix called....wait for it....Wreck-It-Ralph. Ingenious I know. A bit premature to talk about it seeing how there isn't even a Felix one available but thought I would throw it out there.

Basically you are Ralph instead of Felix, you get to destroy the hotel. Perhaps in a "Rampage"-esque type of way with Felix following you in a random fashion trying to fix shite and hit you with the hammer......I dunno.

"Sjaak" if you made the Pac-Man game in "GameMaker Studio", then I salute you cause that is one genius program. I think I want to train myself in this, can make android\iOS apps with it as well, love it.

Sjaak · « **Reply #58 on:** December 29, 2012, 12:07:34 pm »

Nope, i did the game in C#. I also used the xna framwork for .Net from Microsoft. And i wrote a couple of hlsl shaders for the glowy, blinky and wavy stuff.

What AV do you have? Unfortunate.....

Edi: The building should be this one from the Movies game. Same one I used for my mini-game lol. Seems to be a few variations in Felix and the Building he fixes.

Sjaak · « **Reply #62 on:** December 30, 2012, 10:54:10 am »

Right, I think there's enough interest, so I'm going to start building a Fix it Felix Jr. Replica Cabinet, starting with the software.

Anyone who wants to support the build is invited to make a contribution here (link removed, please contact me via pm).

The software side of the game will be as close as possible to the 'real' arcade version, lo-res, vertical and will include a kill screen. Contributors will receive regular updates and will also be able to request features.

And please remember that I'm doing this in my spare time. So don't expect the game to be finished in a week!

And posted on, It has finally come to this.
I really feel good now. Progress has been made and will be moving forward.
I hope many of you feel the same.

It's a contribution to my Fix It Felix Jr. replica build which will include a replica of the arcade game.

The game will not be released publicly and only for personal use, so copyright should not be a big concern.
