Also on OpenBOR engine, I'm planning three games about the character Maui Mallard, from Disney Interactive. Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow was my favorite SNES game in childhood and its Mega Drive (Genesis) version is even better (in gameplay terms, the graphics and sound are better on the SNES, in my opinion).
I intent to make games with the following titles:
Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow 2: The Mojo Wars
Maui Mallard Origins: Duck Eater
Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow 3: Threats from the Red Earth
For the third game, I made some screens. I hope you like it:
More details latter...
Hello, I would like to ask - Are you still busy developing Maui Mallard 2? Or do you have ceased to create a game? On your website have not been updated, so I asked the question. Forgive me for my Russian English.
ReplyDeleteHi, I haven't worked on this project; it's just an idea yet.
DeleteI want to gather the sprites (and "know-how") needed before starting, but I'm not finding enough time nowadays.
Thank you for answering my question .
ReplyDeleteHello im anonymous who asked you about sequel .I've heard that a year ago you asked a group of fans at vk.tsom about a possible sequel to the story. You will still need it? I sketched one version of the story. I can sketch out more.
ReplyDeleteSorry vk.com Here's a link to the group if you have forgotten http://vk.com/maui_mallard
DeleteOh, the VK group! I really like you guys and I made VK account just because of this group!
Deletehttp://vk.com/id171000549
I would love to know your ideas.
This is what I'd like to do:
In "MMCS 2: The Mojo Wars" would take place outsite the original island; I haven't created a story for this "chapter" yet.
In "Maui Mallard Origins: Duck Eater" I would like to creat a story about Maui Mallard's trainning and his first mission. It would be inspired on "Metal Gear Solid 3" plot.
"MMCS 3: Threats from the Red Earth" is the only chapter that I've already decided about the story. It will envolve the characters from the game "Red Earth" and will take place on the original "Maui" islands.
Discussing and making a sequel with the vk community would be awesome. The problem is I don't speak Russian. If you want, we can create a discution topic about this project, but I confess I won't be able to make it fast.
Thx for the supporting!
About Maui Mallard origins. In the original Maui Mallard level ninja training I noticed that Hernae asked Maui to leave because he would ruin everything as always. As always? So the first mission has been failed, and then Maui became a private detective. About his training and the fact he failed a mission can make a prequel.In the original Maui Mallard Hernae knows Maui. Maybe they will learn in the prequel.
ReplyDeleteI have an idea about the main antagonist of the second part. Possible to develop a cameo green hands that pop up from the ground and grabbed Maui and drags him into the ground If you lose .
Maybe some sort of duck-like monster with asymmetry of the body? If repaint one character from the old concepts canceled sequel, you can get the main boss.Here is the link http://vk.com/photo-26482220_254824260 . I tried to redraw the villain, but I have nothing good came of it. I am always a bad draw.
It is a pity that the concepts of the characters in the sequel otmennenom were drawn and concepts levels were not painted. According to these figures, we can conclude that Maui is sent to the past. I came up with one version of the story. The villain with no name (I have not figured out his name) is sent back in time to destroy the island Mallard (
I have not figured why the villain destroy the island but I have a couple of ideas).
My first idea is that the main villain of the first part of the game was to destroy the idol shabum to release from an underground prison demon with a green hand who promised him power. But Maui prevented this and Green Hand wanted to destroy island in the past .
No Russian language - its your problem , bad english - my problem =) .
And what ideas about music? I have no idea. For the sequel, the hardest thing is draw the locations. Let me know what you think about my ideas. If you help me find flaws I can fix them faster since I'll still be thinking of the plot.
Frankly I was shocked to see that there was no continuation. All because of a lack of public relations.
I loved your story suggestions!
DeleteI don't know how to draw either =P
I plan to use graphics from other games, editing them...
Don't worry about the lack of comunication, there is so much that I need to gather and learn before starting this project. And I really has no time now.
The second version of the story sequel. Green hand wanted to send our heroes Hernae and Maui in the past to drive them out of the way so that no one prevented him to take over the island.Hernae and Maui to survive in prehistoric times and go back to our time to prevent a villain to take over the island.
ReplyDeleteThe main villain, you can save for the third part of the game. In style - he is defeated, but he promised to come back and take revenge. But pmne think it's corny. So I think it is better to invent a new villain for the third part, but first we need to decide on the second story.
Second varint of the story - a simplified version of the first option. I think you already knew.
ReplyDeleteHere's the second part of the third sketch (picture with the ship) in my opinion would be nice to do duck outlines the main boss. All the same, it's a duck world.
ReplyDeleteIt is clear that the levels of need are a few ways to pass but so that different paths lead to the same end of the level (so you can keep the tradition of the original).
But you can make a passable levels in different ways with different outputs with level depending on which way you choose. But then you have to come up with these ways, they are distinguishable by the method of transmission. I think should be the levels where you can only play one guise Maui - either ninja or Hawaiian. But should the levels were present where the passage is not dependent on the type of duck you choose. Play that what you wish.
I also thought about this. Do I need to give new powers to the protagonist? It can diversify the gameplay but will have to come up with new obstacles to overcome which will require a new ability. I am offering the ability kootoraya was present in the blue ninja - here's the link to the sprite http://www.spriters-resource.com/fullview/39056 moves that only enemies do. Here's another question - whether hernae help the main character? Well, there is something open by magic or point the way. After all, it's Hernae the second half of the protagonist without it in any way.
ReplyDeleteNew powers will definitely added!
DeleteFrom the enemies, from Genesis version, from other games.. once I don't draw, I'll search hard for good sprite sources.
I still have the question whether openbor engin work on windows 7 32bit and 64 bit windows? Will the game be compatible with current systems?
ReplyDeleteAnd another question - Openbor allows you to play in the style Beat'em up . But in our case it is a two-dimensional platformer. It may be something very different from the original Cold Shadow. Possible to make a platformer?
ReplyDeleteMay be flesh technology is more better than open bor ?I just looked through the game made on openbor and I noticed that the graphics there is very different from the original. Of course it is still a fan-game, but the differences from the original may become too large in terms of graphics and gameplay.But here you are a programmer and you know better. I just expressed my concerns.
ReplyDeleteI think flesh techonology it is more better than openbor . But you are a programmer you should know. But I looked at the game made on the engine, and they are very openbor use different from the platforming genre. The game may be too far from the original, even for a fan game. You really know better I'm just expressing my concerns.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a programer.
DeleteI chose OpenBOR because it seems to be easier to use. :)
Well, platform games are like beat'em up in a "narrow line". If you look at Maui Mallard combat system, it's much more like "Streets of Rage" than "Super Mario World".
I plan to use conventional beat'em up and other "narrow"/platfrom stages.
Well, if you can do so that Maui was only one way up and down like a 2d platformer, it's okay. I'll work more on the story, let you know if I can make a better option. I just noticed that people do not like to ponder over the story, so I had better make simple but at the same time an interesting story.
ReplyDeleteAbout abilities - the hero must possess and new and old bells and whistles, such as a very fast running, swinging on a pole and getting stuck with a pole between two walls. What about new abilities to yet nothing except water ninja in the head is not. A new abilities must be at least two.
ReplyDeleteHowever Maui Mallard should remain the same Maui Mallard. If you happen to make at least a beta beta beta version, could you give it to me for evaluation? At the same time lay in the VC community to test the game. I realize that talking about it so far, but I think that it is better to discuss all the details in advance.

The engine started to be developed more recently and it continues to evolve.
Agen is a framework which serves as an abstract interface between the hardware part of the system of your game. Programming games do not require a study of the inner workings of hardware or operating system. Agen allows you to fully concentrate on the game logic, through its simple and easy framework.
Memory in the engine is automatically controlled at all levels of the scripting environment in the system and the video buffer.
Agen-accelerated video card uses, hiding the features of the equipment itself. Currently includes graphical plug-ins as OpenGL and DirectX.
Create great world without worrying about the performance! The engine includes a scene graph and hierarchical system that allow for cards containing sprites using very little CPU time.
The engine has a modular architecture with multiple plug-ins for graphics, audio, and input. Additional modules are available for physics (Box2D), pathfinding (Micropather) and network (LuaSocket).
Using the engine is free for non-commercial use. If you want to use AGen for a commercial project, you will have to pay a nominal fee of $ 200.

Denis, the main reason I choose OpenBOR is that I don't know programing. If you (or someone else) want to make the programing, then OK, we can use any program.
DeleteBut, if the programing will be done by me, we'll have to use an easy engine.

Lately, you say something, you stop working on the sequel? Or do you just not enough time?
ReplyDeleteI don't have enough time, this project hasn't started yet.
DeleteHello, how work is going?
ReplyDeleteHi Denis, this project wasn't started yet. I'm really busy with real life stuff and I haven't learned how to use OpenBOR yet.
DeleteI won't give up on this project, but it will remain as an idea for a long time, till the time I finish my PhD and get a stable job...
Meanwhile I'll keep learning about OpenBOR and pixelart, I may start doing some custom sprites for the games on the next year.
DeleteThe first game I intent to do is based on "Heroes of Might and Magic III", because it will be a simpler game and will serve as training. The Maui Mallard games may have some advanced features (the things that he does on the original games, that aren't common on Beat 'em Ups), so it will require more work.
I understand . Just asking . If there will be any news about the project , write me on my email 7fireden7@mail.ru .If it not difficult .
DeleteSure!
DeleteHoly shit, your ideas are horrible, and your spritework is cringeworthy. Couldn't you at least pick a worse game to completely desecrate? Atleast Disney is going to fuck you up if you actually try to move this beyond ideaman stage.
