Hey CLickteam,
I'm nowhere close to even starting on this idea. Just a thought to see if possible. My idea is to make a black and white game that the player has to spray paint in order to play the level and find clues. How could I convert an active object into a paint sprayer with a pallet of colors? Thanks CLickers!
Like Mario Paint (XDXD)?
Seriously, I didn't catch the mechanics of the game,
but main concept seems captivating,
could you word that in a way so that it sounds clearer?
You want the actual level (i.e. a platformer) to be painted in order to make the player able to interact?
Or a blank screen to be painted/designed from zero by player?
Or else, a preset draw canvas to be painted, so that on correct coloring something shows up...?
or...?
Well Schrodinger,
All those examples sound great!!! I really don't know. The idea just popped in my head. To be able to spray paint the world and then interact with it to me sounds cool. Okay, here's a quick idea. Lets say I have a platform game where the mouse is a can of spray paint. The player is static but moves when a platform is fully painted. The paint is limited so the player has to cleverly utilize their stock. They can choose there color of choice or I could make it to where they have to use a certain color. Just an idea. Do you think this is possible?
Yeah, sounds cool to me too, I think a couple of games with this kind of mechanics popped out for Nintendo DS
but I've never actually played...
Fusion has great capabilities in this sense,
since you can "paste object into background" (you find it under "animations" of objects)
and choose whether to paste as an obstacle, platform, etc.
So you could create your set of "brushes" object and paint them in the level to make interactive items!
For more advanced control, the "surface" extension does HUGE things,
but it's a little trickier to setup.
Here's a quick example of the surface object (based on Anders Riggelsen's stuff). Looki's surface object is pretty simple, but there's a lot it can do so it's easy to get lost.
Thanks for the responses. Ziplock, do you think that a sprayer is capable? Just your opinion. I'm gonna check out Ander's example tonight...at work.
Oh, sure it's possible. Here's an example using Schrodinger's explanation of create object/paste into background. Might get you started.
Oh, so nice! This may actually become a winning concept for a game :D
Hey thanks Schrodinger,
I'll name it, "Color My World!" After I'm done with Rope, Soap 'N Dope game, I'll start on a rough draft!
Best luck then!
The one I remembered for DS was this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawn_to_Life
You had to draw even your main character.
Mmmm... thinking that this may be a hard challenge with fusion.
But maybe doable...
mmm yes, definitely it should be,
or with active pictures positioned and oriented to resemble a figure,
or with "load frame" into active objects,
picking up pre-drawn and saved things
taken by screen capture and saved by surface (credits: Chrille)
Well, however, that sounds a little overcomplicated,
and maybe drawing your main character is just something naive to do, that would have little impact on gameplay.
Sorry, just throwing out ideas for this interesting concept... :)
Ziplock!!! Wow man, that is really neat. It looks just like your spray painting! Okay, I thought of more ideas. Maybe different colors can represent different platform objects. For Example, green can be a normal platform to jump and walk on. By right clicking the mouse, the player can switch colors of the paint. Purple will be ladder object so player would color a vertical line to climb up on. By painting a blue square, it will be a jump spring etc.... All the paints are limited so the player would have to utilize the right colors to reach goal or next area. Just thinking eh!
Schrodinger,
That game looks pretty awesome. I own a 3ds so I'll keep an eye out for it. Being allowed to paint your character would be pretty neat and fun. Hopefully I will get better at coding and make this game a reality! The beauty of Fusion is the bountiful ideas!
Super dirty, but here's a ... something... with ladders.
Hahahaha!!! Thanks dude! I'm at work now, but could I "right click" to switch between colors?
Hey guys, the main concept was so nice it inspired some other funny ideas,
so I've made a little three-examples adventure where:
frame 1) you can draw your weapon and fight with it (make sure to draw a good weapon to catch a small enemy!)
frame 2) draw a hook to catch a grapple and escape (this actually could've been done a lot better.. but just showing the idea)
frame 3) take some snapshots to reach the exit!
You can play single frames or the whole game as a sequence.
Fire1: use item (weapon, hook, camera)
Fire2: jump
It's all done without extensions.
Enjoy stickman adventures XD!

(note: pictures you will draw ingame will be saved/overwritten inside application path as "my_weapon.bmp",
maybe you'll want to delete your masterpieces after playing)
Schro,
I can't wait to try tonight. Yeah, it is a really interesting idea. So many possibilities! I'll check it out tonight and post more ideas!
