As you will hear on the podcast once it goes up this week, I posed a question to our beloved hosts, "what if I created a fan-game in the same vein as the Journey arcade game? (this week's Classic Game of the Week). They all seemed to love the idea, so I went to work coming up with something that would both draw inspiration from OLR and their love of classic games, as well as the simplicity and sheer ridiculousness of the Journey arcade game and its plot.
Hit the jump for the first in-progress screen and to read more about this epic game in the making!
Here's an in-progress screenshot of the first level, starring our very own Rob Roberts.
It takes place inside a demented game of Breakout, if the ball touches you you'll lose a life. You can however ride the paddle if you're careful, so try and use that to your advantage. Collecting all the CDs will make a flag appear up on that stone block, touch to to move on to LOKI's level, which I will take a look at soon.
Update 6/22/2010:
... Just wait till you read the plot description for this level. :P Just move our favorite mac-hating host to the left or right and fire at the invaders, clear them all and the flag will appear, touch them to move on to DS' level, which I'll update here again later with the details on that! ^^;
Ah, the 2nd to last level, And what would be more fitting than blowing up zombies with a rocket launcher? Fuck if I know, but that's what we're dealing with here. Fend them off for five minutes and the rescue chopper will arrive to take you to safety.... at least until the final level, which will remain top secret for now.
Well I hope you enjoyed my preview of this epic fan-game I've been wanting to do for quite a while, I'm hoping to have the game done before the end of 2010, so watch for it!
