Lolz so dis is ma level design(sucks I knw) buh I tink we shuld all geht it - so goatie is in turbo mode dahs him yea d 1 dah luks lyk a roach !! So here is d escape plan he kips running avoiding the stones and the pursuers (we culd let him use is horns to injure pursuers near by then see does tins I named crates?! And that slow motion stuff I talked about wen d player gehts cls 2 d crates den sumfin matrix style apens everitin slws down mr goatie jumps 2 d 1st crate second and Over daht fence yea gbam mr goatie is gone 1st level done#cheers!?( The jumping stuff culd be qte though(quick time events!)

Nice. Should he be on 4 legs or 2 legs when running away?

Jivi:
Nice. Should he be on 4 legs or 2 legs when running away?

I tink 4 will be gud wnt want dem humans 2 go crazy yet hun!!...buh eni 1 is cul though boss !!

outline of stages
* escape of goaty [ goaty escapes, releases other animal and starts the war]
* ammo needed [ goaty infiltrate military base for weapons and ammos ]
* mountain revolt [ goaty conquers the mountain region and makes it the head quarter
.... he also conquers other regions lyk water, ice etc. these are also levels
* muu's mission [ goaty is captured, muu has to rescue him which he does and gets killed during the process ]
* goaty's escape [ goaty escapes base * temple run in military base* which muu gets killed ]
* goaty's revenge [ goaty infiltrate base and rescues muu's body ]
* sad news [ goaty heard that his wife was captured and he goes to military base and kills soldiers only to find out dat general musa has her at HQ ]
* final showdown [ goaty and friends attack HQ which is well fortified and waiting for them. goaty kills general musa and rescues his wife which also ends the war...,
feel free to delete or add a level

it should be 2 na, making it innovative (that wat we are after), cus if there is no innovation it would be like any oda game
#just a suggestion

just noticed blender has an inbuilt game engine. It has been used to create dozens of games like this one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=InxuapWWY7A&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DInxuapWWY7A Who knows how to use it?

During interactions with fellow goats,two legs are gonna be good but during his mission runs,the 4's are his boost. I really would like us to incorporate some hide and seek concept into his temple run like runs. Like he can run into some stacks of rubbish on his way and he hides for like some seconds to regain back his strength where there would be some cassava peels and water . He might open some doors on his way so as to camouflage his route. Also my question is would there be other goats in this setting?

During level two,we can show of preface of how the goat liased with trained military dogs who are set to rebel against their abuse from commanding officers. So they enter an agreement and together,Mr Bingo the Dog's welfare manager helps the goats to free up ammunitions from their hoods. In turn they are liberated and dispersed

grt addition.... jst wish I could design bt I suck at designing *sad*

yea dahs wah I also tot@ d 4 legs part!!- and d oda question abot dere bein oda goats!! D game is basically based arnd goats!- or u mean in d 1st mission dey might be hanging arnd buh I dnt tink dey will take part in enifin in dis 1st mission!!- mehn aa love d cassava water tin u said and d hidding stuff - I tink stealth will play a big role in dis game -- buh don't u tink dis will slw dwn d pace in dis 1st mission?!

We should add the cassava stuff as health package for the entire game. Also, we could put it around in the first mission to reboost goatie's health after some stoning damage along the escape path

@jjk24,I really don't want the first phase to be love another run game in the making. Some little wisdom on the part of Mr Goatie in his run can make the game more special and quite different

Peterjosh: @jjk24,I really don't want the first phase to be love another run game in the making. Some little wisdom on the part of Mr Goatie in his run can make the game more special and quite different

We already know that goatie has to escape. The question now is. How is he going to escape. Is he going to be running or fighting or both? A better Idea is always welcome.
Worst case scenario, we skip all these phases as cutscenes as @dueal suggested earlier if I am not mistaking and go straight into the gun battle and establish a no-nonsense character for goatie as against a running away - ish character.
However, I still think we are on the right path by starting with the escape. We can still improve on it to make it very different from another running game like you said @Peterjosh

Ok we all knw dah mr goatie as to run so he will run!! Buh ppl dnt tink daht much wen tryin 2 escape dey jst try 2 find a way out nt find cassava leaves --- buh nw aa see a way all this culd com 2geda instead of mr goatie jst runnin and escaping he runs find a plc 2 hide (we gonna nid a bigger level design ). He eats d cassava peal alng the way 2 regain his health meaning mr goatie won't jst run and escape its a run hide sneak kindda tin . !!enifin dah works

Let me jst tryin mak dis point pls guys!! A games 1st mission doesn't have to shw the games core mechanic most devs use dis jst as an introduction 2 d games theme and type and @ waht jivi said and duel since u guys wanna skip the running part dahs y I will suggest we jst use the short 1st mission jst to geht the players engaged!!.I tink all the sneaking and cassava peals shuld be in the mission 2 where mr goatie goes back to rescue all the other animals dahs where we introduce the main game mechanics !! Wah u tink?! The 1st run mission shudnt take more dan 10 mins (its nt rili a mission d 1st main mission is mr goatie freeing the oda animals) buh enifin u guys decide still works# this game is gonna be a bomb

And also the mission bein short and nt over powered will let us knw where we r and waht we r capable of as a group jst a testing stage!!. #cheers

@all...if training d player on d basic mechanics of d game is wat d run/escape mission is about then its not necessary...everyone knws how to move a controller left and right....we r not trying to write a story biok but make a fun game. unless we can make d run/escape mission packed wit toony jokes which will change d style of d game in general, i dnt think dis mission will b necessary

that's nt the point. Buh a guess we nt doin daht den #onto the next one #cheers

was feeling d escape mission idea at a point...but since we cnt decide on if its an all running or a run , hide, and everything inbetween i feel it should just b a cutscene....

In my opinion we can catch our players with an intriguing first scene.... That's my thought though. Pls u guys should move on with some other concepts

If we are going to skip, where do we skip to.
I suggest we skip to
* ammo needed [ goaty infiltrate military base for weapons and ammos ]
the goats have acquired some weapons and were about to leave when Gwon Gwon got killed and they had to retrieve Gwon Gwon's body. Immediate battle against AI opponents through a barrack level.

all in favour of starting at d barracks mission?

will work on very stylized art for d characters so no one feels bad wen an animal shoots a human

Yea yea barracks it is den!! So goatie escapes !! Goes back 2 d barracks 2 rescue odas?! E doesn't have weapons does he!?- or r we skipping the it 2 where dey alredi hav ammunition!!-

jjk24: Yea yea barracks it is den!! So goatie escapes !! Goes back 2 d barracks 2 rescue odas?! E doesn't have weapons does he!?- or r we skipping the it 2 where dey alredi hav ammunition!!-

He already has weapons.

And so the cut scene. Aint we gonna work on that!! Nw!?

well, we could do the cutscenes as a story board with a narrator's voice telling dat part. The idea is to cut down as much work as possible yet still creating something good

Lets focus on the interactive parts for now.

That brings us back to level design - barracks

@dueal, jjk24.
do we start modelling Nigerian buildings randomly or are there buildings specific to barracks?

lolz all naija buildings luk d same 2 me gritty and old buh since we in a barrack here I tink we jst gnna giv daht more detail jst 2 geht mak it have daht barracks luks !! Buh barracks r basically lyk school hostels !! We jst gnna add d naija flag and military stuff 2 d environment nt d building it sef so no!! I dnt tink we gnna build a military building specially!!.
