BYOND Rage Comics

Sun, 19 Feb 2012 07:26:28 +0000

Was bored, decided I'd make some.
These comics don't express how I feel about BYOND (they actually do), and were made for fun,(let's start a riot), and in no way do I show offense to game developers of any kind (leave already you fan game making pricks).
If you'd like to make some Rage Comics for BYOND as well, just upload it some where and post a link to it, I'll add it to this main post.

1. Just in case I need these

2. Where did I go wrong

3. Money and Confidence

4. The DM Guide

5. A New Era

6. Classified Ads

7. CSS Dream (EmpirezTeam)

Dummy Release Update

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:34:47 +0000

Updated Dummy Release, now with 3 new levels and a boss battle. Totaling 10 levels in the Demo. And you don't fight this same boss over an over again, but you do fight each boss 2-3 times before seeing a new one.

I fixed all the reported bugs, but I do apologize for the how to play text being at the top of the screen. This is just temporary, I will be making a step by step tutorial when I get the chance today. I also believe a walkthrough is necessary. I'll post a video walkthrough later in the week on the game's hub.

Don't forget to comment and give feedback. I want this to be as good as possible before I move on to my next project next week. If you enjoyed the Demo, give feedback and link your friends. I'll be updating the game again around the new site update, so make sure to check the hub.

Also, to make sure you're playing the most up to date version of the game, click the "You've got updates!" link when you login to your BYOND pager.

Dummy Release Next Update

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:15:45 +0000

Just to note while I still can, Dummy Release will have all it's levels up and running sometime early this week.

If you still haven't played it, go give it a shot, it's got maybe 1 or 2 bugs, but they will be fixed in the final update.

I expect to add around 50-60 levels, and a few boss battles here and there. One thing I've noticed is the level before the boss battle is bugged, when you shoot the security drome once, the rest of the bullets may or may not go through it. I will upload a new version later today fixing that.

Not sure if this will be my last blog post, most likely it will be. Hopefully everything works out right...

Dummy Release Demo Version

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:32:50 +0000

Welp it's up.

http://www.byond.com/games/ShadeCyberPlatinum/DummyRelease

Right now it offers 6 levels and a boss level. Any further demos will be a few level increase and bug fixes. Only the final game will be released after that. Game is 100% free, and I have rights to use all the art that is shown in the game (just sayin).

Give it a shot, feel free to give feedback, comment, note me on any glitches. Be sure to read the red text on the top of your screen carefully, and enjoy ^^

Sayonara Blog

Sat, 14 Jan 2012 16:40:36 +0000

With around 98 days left of my membership, and my next mini game (not all that mini really) nearing completion, I'd have a lot more stuff to blog about. With the new site updates coming along, I won't be able to do that. So I'm using my old ShadeCyberPlatinum site to continue blogging. It has a lot of posts from years back, but I refuse to delete them because I can look back at them some day and smile and all that stuff, maybe a laugh here and there.

shadecyberplatinum.webs.com/intro1.html

The site is run by my friend, he opened it around a year or two ago. The site is no where near professional, but it's something, so I'll take it.

I'll try to make use of the forum posts.

-just cracked a smile-
Because I noticed now I have a reason to use the site again :)

Screeny of Dummy Release:

It's getting there.

3D Turf Generator

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 04:05:56 +0000

So I finally made a proc that creates illusions to make a map look 3D. This uses little lag, and is single player strict.
However, something doesn't seem right. Any suggestions to how I can make this look better?

I'm trying to make it feel as 3D as possible.

AM Knight Progress

Fri, 15 Jul 2011 14:31:42 +0000

I took a while to sit down last night, and think about AM Knight's system overall, it seemed fun, but it didn't seem like there was enough. So, I decided to add a Pawn Control feature, in which you control your character's pawn, and work your way to a portal. I've decided to add at least 4 of these per chapter. The blue dots are items that effect the people around you, or affect yourself, such as making you invincible for a few seconds, or increasing health, or reducing yours or your enemy's health, and much more. The funny looking red X's are locks, and require a key, to unlock. Once you've entered a portal, you continue on to the next Pawn Control. At the 4th Pawn Control, there will be a boss that ends the chapter.
Welp here's a screeny.

I guess it could use some polish, but looks pretty cool for now if you ask me.
Anyway, I have some pixel artists, and I could still use more, it'd allow me to be closer to finishing this game, until then, I'll be posting about a demo sometime this week, as well as more information on subscriptions, and how asynchronous will work with the server.

Welcome BYOND community to the staff of AM Knight

Tue, 12 Jul 2011 06:24:12 +0000

I'm an open book, and sure, the classical "selective staff" works. But truth is, the way some games are done, is by using help from outside resources. And so, I want help from you. I'm capable of handling maps, my only issue is enemies, characters, etc.

So heres the deal, if you want a character in the game, go ahead and sprite it. I know the chance of even 1 person posting a character is slim, so I'll also continue iconning for AM Knight. Please note, the icons must be original and must be able to fit side scrollers.

I can animate. Just post 1 frame of a character I seriously don't mind animating it. So please, I need the help to make this game happen.

I don't care about size, also, I'm still looking for someone to sprite for me, DungeonDan is just... I assume he quit. Here's Zan's icon, non splashed, since I finished animating him.

The character can look human, monsterous, and any size. Any armour, any weapon. A list of skills and moves would help.

Remember, all I need is one frame per character, so if you can take the time to help me after reading this, it'd be greatly appreciated.
But take your time, it may be one frame, but it'll look good when its a nice quality animated character.

AM Knight Design Document

Wed, 06 Jul 2011 20:19:56 +0000

As many of you may know, I'm working on a game called AM Knight. Reading Yut's secrets has inspired me, I've decided to post AM Knights design documents in this post. Please respect the ideas/content written in here. You don't wanna be the loser who needs to steal ideas to make a game. I'll know, the BYOND community will know, and any trolling in the comments will be removed, since I'm being serious today, and I'm not really in the mood, I guess, IDK.

Welp here it is-
(Removed Design Document)

This design document is subject to change / update any time.

I've revealed this in hopes of finding a Pixel Artist. One GOOD pixel artist is all this game needs to make it happen.
PLZ, PLZ, if you can help me, shadecyberplatinum@live.com
Compensation-
Payment (after the game)
I know that sounds shady, but you're gonna have to trust me, I wouldn't have worked hard on that Design Document if I was gonna do something sly.

Main Character- Zan, More AM: Knight news

Tue, 28 Jun 2011 04:18:35 +0000

So AM: Knight is a very strange title for a game, for those of you wondering what it means, it stands for Armageddon Monarch Knight. A knight who serves for the Armageddon King.
Thanks to Yut Put, he was able to fix my sprite, and help me disassemble the sprite to not only do an animations, but allow myself to do some as well. It's coming along nicely so far:

You've probably already seen this in YutPut's post, however he did forget to splash. I am a maniac, just to warn anyone who decides to be funny and steal. However he did splash now so it's fine.
The Story Behind AM: Knight-
Zan, has been sent a letter, appointing him to become an Armageddon Knight. Becoming an Armageddon Knight is considered a great thing, you become a personal Knight of the King, but who knows the story behind the king. (I certainly don't, my friend writes the story XD)
Chapter 1 has been written, the map for chapter 1 has been created. Online mode will not be added until the end. And I simply refuse to post anything we've made so far. (You know how it is with those nubs these days, they can't do nothin after you release the game tho)
4 major/minor characters have been planned in (including Zan), the other three need to be iconned.
If you've seen my other post with the video, you'll know this game will run in a chapter select mode, the game will be arena based, along with an Adventure Mode add on.
That's pretty much it so far.
