I detect sarcasm

https://sourceforge.net/projects/naijadev/files/Vulcan-game.zip/download


I uploaded this before my exams, asking members to suggest improvements and for graphic designers to work on. No update on it yet. I guess everyone missed it.

"Yep, sarcasm, and that little link of yours silenced my attempt nicely!", is what I WOULD be saying if I could extract the file
Probably a downloading error, I should really tell the familia to dump this starcomms cmda -_-' I'll try again when I'm less sleepy
, but anyway, carry on dude, good luck and what-not

Don't think its a download error. Cant seem to extract aswell.

sorry guys! I did mention that I uploaded it b4 my exams. I didn't do a download test. I'll reupload tonight.

Anyways, some improvements that will come later.

changing the pickup items (graphics). I put them in open chests but seems like it fills up the levels.

Character graphics and level graphics improvements.

UPDATE: Were you guys using google chrome when you tried to download the file?

I tried downloading but it failed. I reuploaded and it failed again when I used chrome but Firefox 5 downloaded it successfully.

PLEASE CONFIRM WITH FIREFOX ( VERSION 5 PREFERABLY).

I'll try uploading the folder rather than the zip file later to see if it'll work in chrome.

Yeah, I used firefox, it's not a download problem you just need to re-pack the files, maybe use .rar or .7z this time, ?

NEW LINK: sourceforge.net/projects/naijadev/files/Vulcan.7z/download

I've compressed it to 7z and uploaded.

Firefox 5 downloads perfectly. I uncompressed with 7zip and game runs.

Safari 5 downloads perfectly. I uncompressed with 7zip and game runs.

Google chrome starts and completes in less than 5 seconds meaning something is wrong. Game doesn't run.

PLEASE RETRY.

Well, I decided to put up the browser versions since I had different results downloading with each of them. Have you downloaded yet?

Chrome is still giving me errors but the file is perfect with the other browsers. Guess I'll have to upload the folder and see what happens.

Wow, it's a 3d game, cool =]

How many contributors so far, if I may ask?

@omo_to_dun: No problem. I got to know about the update by chance too.

@AdeizaSama: Not much. There's still a lot of work to be done. If you play the game, you'll notice some quirks. We'll be fixing the codes as soon as possible.

The graphics and levels also require a lot of work.

We need suggestions on improving the game. It'd also be nice if you could introduce the project to graphic artists cuz we need em a lot.

Awesome.

I use a 1366 x 768 res. I reckon its supposed to max it out. But it doesn't fill out the screen, anyway tis is awesome. Can you make the guy to move a bit faster?

@mobinga: If you want to play in full screen, you'll have to deselect windowed in the dialog box that shows before the game starts.

Regarding the speed, you can't change it unless you download the unity package to edit the script.

I may add an option to tweak player speed and certain attributes in the next build though since it's a demo.

omo_to_dun:

Is there some sort of source code? How can the game be modified?

Depends on how it was created, if a game engine was used then you nee the project file.

If you used Unity3D, upload your project file, might be able to help.

The codes are in this package: http://sourceforge.net/projects/naijadev/files/VULCAN_wip.unitypackage/download

You need to have unity3D installed. All you have to do is create a new project and import the package.

Graphic artists are the hardest to find, especially since it's in 3D. The one graphic artist I worked with is in London, he has my wacom tablet (forgot to get it back -_-') and he's expecting use to make a flash adventure game. Dunno how to break the news to him that I wanna scrap that project, seeing as nowadays adventure games are useless if they aren't really long and on a console, and we ARE kinda shorthanded xD

@AdeizaSama: You're right about the graphics designers. Why d' you wanna scrap your project. Depending on your plans, you can actually create a great and

memorable game even if it's really short. Think: The players could be the ones asking for more rather than you wasting your time creating something long.

You just have to create a few levels, kinda like introducing the story and stuff.

Just give them something they' ll love to play and everything will work out.

lol, I'll give them what they want alright.

@Gameaddict, you are doing a good job. I can see you have real passion for game design. I had a problem with my system and I decided to buy a new one. When I came back, I saw the project has been partially abandoned. I have started learning unity3d and it is real fun. Hope we will still work on something. We need to talk. my mail is ojaysimpson2481 at yahoo dot com.

@Ojukwu24: How's you doing? Sorry 'bout your system. The project is still on but I don't know about the interest of others. I'm studying physics and AI this

holiday and I've also got a lot of projects to complete which is why I don't post here regularly.

I uploaded a demo and a project file some weeks ago and asked people to look into how we could improve on it. Nobody has responded with anything yet. It

seems a lot of people have other things on their hands which is okay but things will progress slowly if things continue this way. I'll mail you soon so we can

discuss the issues. Hope you're enjoying unity3d,

@Gameaddict, am fine thank you. I saw the project file and am trying to download the file. But I want to be conversant with some things before I will look into that. Learning unity is cool and I think I like it. I will check my mail now.

Ok, i just want to play the game. Is the file executable Please send me a download link and what OS, I will play the s h i t of of this game mennnnn,

So I guess dats it, I'm planning on working on a j2me side scrolling game, so from many articles online I acquired my programming skills, but I can help in any post u think I'm gud for, for the progression of the project u are developing, that's nice, but u can go to this site to know about the nigeria igda, www.igdanigeria., I met the guy behind the registeration on facebook,
I luv this nigerian guyz are waking up, !!!!!

@Lugan: Hello! Welcome to the team. Please read the article below to know what next.

@Everyone: Hello! How's y'all doing?

I've been busy with some projects but most of them are near completion now but the problem is that skool will resume soon and my time will be short again.

Anyways, The good news is that I and Ojukwu24 have been communicating via mail and we've come up with a good way to move this project forward:

First and foremost is restructuring and reorganization.

Rather than having one long topic with many signups and discussions but no far reaching/viewable progress due to a number of reasons, we've decided to

divide tasks in a very organized way by making this the mother thread(general game project meetup zone) and to create new threads for game

ideas that members want to work on. So if you have a game idea and want to use any language such as java, things will now be easier as you can easily

inform members that the idea will be implemented in a particular language or using a particular framework. Also members will now be able to contribute more

efficiently as they can now follow ideas/projects they favor.

I and Ojukwu24 have decided to work on the vulcan's challenge project. I'll look at my project files tomorrow and create a thread for it when things are ready.

For those of you who have been suggesting 2D, I've researched a bit into some languages and frameworks. I've also practiced a little and will show you some

images as well as post some info on my practice project tomorrow.
