Pug Fugly's making a game that isn't a shooter?! Pug Fugly // 01:37
Indeed he is.



That's right, my current project isn't a shooter, it's some kind of platform puzzler.  I think the main character, and probably the game, will be called Glum.

No idea why, but the graphics really remind me of Yoshi's Island. Which isn't a bad thing.

The white stairs are boring, change them to something more interesting :)



The screenshot reminds me of the games Critters 2 (http://www.download-game.com/Critters_2.htm) and Midnite Motel

You're right about the laddres King Bowser, I will probably have different ladders to fit with the different levels.

I don't believe it. This is clearly only some sort of very stylised main menu. Each of those ladders leads to a different shoot-em-up section. You can tell.

This is interesting. From the screenshot, it looks very oldschool. I kinda hate the look of the jewels, from seeing the resource ones used in so many poor games. Given the look of the player character (?), maybe he could be collecting something else? Baseball cards? Soda cans? Apples? Keys? Little dwarves with funny hats? Kinky looking fairies? Ah, well. I guess diamonds are as oldschool as it gets.

The little "THE DEEP GARDEN (WEST)" thing by the bottom is right on the spot, and what I like best about this screenshot (aside from maybe the look of the player, which has that perfect neutral feel). It leads me to believe that this will have some exploration/adventure elements in it, and varied environments. Really looking forward to what you'll make of this.

I agree. Anyways, even though I don't normally like extremely colorful graphics, I like the looks of this, mainly because it reminds me of the Apogee games I grew up with. And I too like the promise provided by that phrase, "The Deep Garden (West)". The character looks like he's been hitting the donuts perhaps too much, though. And the main character, flowers and glowing orb things all seem incongruous with the level of detail of the other graphics.

"THE DEEP GARDEN (WEST)"

Even though it's no doubt been done elsewhere, I remember this feature in Jet Set Willy.  Every location had a name, and I thought it added that extra bit of atmosphere to the game, a real feeling of place.  You're right that the environments will be varied.  I'm going to be using a particular tileset for at most 4 or 5 adjoined rooms mainly. 

As for the diamonds I think you are probably right.  They have to be diamonds for the story, however, the story is so paper thin that I will have no problem changing it!

I will hopefully have a demo out soon, I just want to put a few more features in first so that people will get a better feel for what I'm hoping to achieve.

Kinda reminds me of Commander Keen, hehe.

Haha, yeah it seems that way... and I might throw my hat into that ring too, if I can keep my new project going.  ;)
