I'm sure some of you have heard of this and most of you in the chat have even played this game. Well I'm announcing that I'm officially under production of a game for Hissing Worms! In this thread I will describe in detail parts of the game. Time to give you a basic description of it also found in the game help guide(Press F1).

How to Play

Use the arrow keys to navigate your character around each obstical.You can use any aspect of your sprite to your advantage.

Example:

On the end of your name there is a "..". You can use these 2 periods to hang off cliffs and then jump from that position to a new one.

For those of you who don't understand that let me give you a preview of what the character currently looks like. It will change in the future but this is a basic layout.


^Note the admin symbol won't be for you when it goes multiplayer d:


So you see how you have the ".." on the end of your name. Basically you use this to hang off a ledge designed by us and you can jump from that ledge to a higher platform.


Map Making

Some of you may be wondering if we'll be having a custom made map maker for the game. Right now only me and PawnMan10 will be making maps because only us have access to the entire game file and I will not release to components. But to give you an idea of what it's like here's a preview screenshot of a typical level we would make:



As you can see we have a grid line so you'll know where you are placing your objects and we can change the intricacy of the grid lines to make more precisely placed objects.


Zone System

This is a new feature I added to the game called a Zone System. Basically we'll be running on a different "Zone" every 10 rooms I have to make. Everytime you pass 10 rooms you'll be able to go into a "Transportation" if you please and it will take you to any Zone you want. So if you already got the basics down from Zone A you can teleport to Zone B, C, D, ect. based on how hard you want your challenge to be.

Here are basic descriptions of the zone's I have created at the moment. There will be more.



Zone A will be the first room that everyone starts out in. It's a general place for beginners where throughout the first couple levels you just learn to get your legs for the game and you can't die. As we go to the 2nd portion of those Zone we introduce spikes and a bit more tricky jumps that will require you to think outside the box. If you die you'll be replaced at the start of the room.



Zone B is a place for the more moderate players who still can use a little work but they know most of the controls and moves in the game. We start out by introducing some new enemies called Ghosts. The basically move and bounce on the walls and if you get hit by them you die. As you move on in the beginning we make the jumps a bit more difficult but then it starts to even out into a stead room switch towards the end where we can prepare for some more difficult stuff.



Zone C is a place for your more introduced players looking for a challenge. We'll be introducing traps arrows shooting across the map, falling trollfaces(just a joke), and all that fun stuff.

We'll be adding more Zones as me and PawnMan10 make more levels. We plan to get at least 50-60 levels before we release the multiplayer version for beta testing. Hopefully we'll get more.



Zone D is a place for your advanced players. It is much harder then stuff that you have seen in previous Zone's and it serves as a real challenge for everyone. There will be new ways to die including getting shot, more trollfaces, ect. This place will take true skill and determination to conquer.

Future Calendar Plans

Well for starters I plan to have a multiplayer version released in January.

Secondly sometime next year we're thinking about adding a fun "Fighting" room where you can shoot and kill people. But that's just an idea.




BETA VERSIONS

Right now I'm using MegaUpload to test the game since my computer is messed up. I have to upload it from this and then test it on another pc. So if you guys want to see the beta just come on whenever I'm on and you might see me post a link. That's an invitation saying that you can test this with me if you please, I don't mind.

Multiplayer Screenshots

*******NOTE********
We do NOT have multiplayer setup yet. This is was just me and my bro on the same PC.
Also this is what we plan to have multiplayer be like(only with more people and a chat). Everyone will have the green sprite only without the admin rank. Other ones are for special beta testers and admins.










So thanks and hope for a great game in the future!
