So unknown to you guys, I've been slaving away since the last posts here working on recreating sound effects, music (as noted in a previous post), and now even graphics.
Graphically speaking:
- I've gone through and catalogued every graphic extensively. Removing any flash-only graphics, and numbering animation sets together.
- Using real footage from the movie game in combination with images of the arcade version, I have corrected several incorrect graphics (colors and elements added or altered for the flash version), and created in-between animations where missing, using the movie as a pixel guide (I still have several to do).
- Created brand new graphics based on the movie and arcade version.
- Figured out exact graphic locations (still working on some though) for things such as window placement etc.
- Figured out gameplay elements (an example would be the windows are only gray when broken), how characters should behave.
- Settled on an ideal resolution that if using a suggested method in my notes, should work well in horizontal view too for cocktail cabinets without compromising anything but bush and HUD length.
- Etc, etc.
The bulk of the graphic creations/alterations are done, but I still have a bunch of work to do. One or two things are still missing frames, or additional details stripped away in the flash version.
I'm also making level plans. Level one is based on the movie, as it appears mostly in full, whereas further level plans will be researched from the arcade version.
After analyzing all of this stuff, it seems the current newly updated version of the flash game (or at least the graphics archive hidden within), is pretty much how the graphics appear in the arcade version, and even the movie version! I wouldn't hesitate to say that I think most, if not all of these files are the same versions used in the movie. They have been altered here and there for the sake of the flash version, but otherwise they seem spot on.
Here are some teasers of sorts:



Note: This is not functional, this is from my level plan setup/graphics test/exact layout
Sjaak has access to all my files in my assets project, so this could very well be the definitive version if we pull together!
