Flop

[Tisnart]

A game I have been working on for a little while now (on and off) that I have on hold but plan on finishing soon.
Most of the work is done but still alot to do to complete it

It's a match three type with my own twist on things and some mini-games added in for some extra play/fun. It will be released for PC (Mac?)
I originally called it Flopple but changed it to just Flop.

This is the first time that I have done all the graphics/animations myself (with the exception of a couple small items) and have really taken my time to do them just right and with great detail, that is what has taken the most time to do in this game as I am not a graphic artist by any means and I am learning as I go.

The game engine is completely custom built using only the ForEach, no other extensions are used (for now at least) and I have some (boring?) videos of the beginnings of the engine here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...ihzdONmwDOQBMG

I uploaded the images as .jpg so some of the quality has been lost and they look much better than seen here.

Eventually I will complete this game

Looks great! It's not often I see a professional quality looking game on these forums. Only thing I notice graphically from the screenshots is that the blocks look a little blurry all together with their soft edges. If you wanted to make them stand out more, a little more contrast near the edges could help. It might not really fit your theme, but maybe see how it looks if you darken the background, then give each block a little outer glow in its own colour and use Additive Blending. Depending on how your performance handles, the bright glow between adjacent blocks could work really well. That's the effect I used in this game, except with multiple colours:



Just thought it was something that you could look into. The game looks fantastic, great job!

Thanx Jacob,

What game are you referring to?....Am I not seeing a link or something?

[Chaos]

Well Jacob pretty much said everything I was going to say - game looks fantastic! Very nice work on the graphics and UI.

Just a quick test for one of the Mini-games for my game Flop
This one is called FlopKu
12 different grids, 4 boards for each Grid type, 8 different combinations for each board.
That's a total of 384 chances of a different play each time you play a board, plus add in the fact that each board is randomly set up on each play so you never really no which board your playing (just in case you want to cheat )

Looks good gerald.... it's almost as if you've mastered the minds of those faces. You're quite the 'mastermind'. Neat take on the classic game.
