This here's an engine test for my next game, Anti-Grav Land!
No... That's a stupid name... I'll change it later. It's my first attempt at a game in MMF, the interface... Disgusts me.

Well, its set in a world where an evil crazy super mad scientist has made a machine that reverses the world's gravity, with a large machine around the planet.
He has done this for no reason whatsoever.

Hmm...

Features:
-Reversed Gravity, You jump DOWN the screen and fall UP it!

-Decent custom engine.
-Springs.
-Slopes (Fixed sloping animation bug in new version).
-A fully animated character.
-Parallax scrolling.

Controls:
Move left/right - Left/right cursor keys.
Jump - Fire 1 (Shift by default) hold Fire 1 to jump higher.
Toggle Debug mode - Backspace

Debug mode re-visiblises all the detectors and shows you the Movement Values.
Could y'all tell me if you find any bugs, please?
I thank ye.

Also: Does this webhost work, for the main download? I'm having trouble finding one with direct linking that supports zip files...

EDIT: Uploaded new version, fixed sloping animation bug (thanks Joe - Scorpion E)

It's kind of cool. What I think you should do is add reversible gravity: step on a switch and you fall the opposite direction. The walking animation looks sort of weird, though.

I think I may put normal gravity as the first couple of levels then Gregor gets SUCKED UP TO THAT MAGIC THINGY IN THE SKY! :o

Pretty cool :) The walking animation looked a bit wierd. But this could be a funny & cool game! Looking forward!

I'll probably edit the walking animation a bit, I'm not very good at graphics...

Neat. Made explorer crash though. :\ Liked it. :o

That's really... Unexpected! :O What made explorer crash? Do you have the newest DirectX?

i found an animation bug, but nothing else: when you go down the slope, the animation doesn't always change to walking

23rd May, 2004

Ah, thanks, I'll try and fix that. I'm glad about the nothing else part. ^_^

Posted by PreviousPlasma (DarkSoft)

23rd May, 2004

Yeah. I'm sure its not a bug with the game Phizzy, its probaly my computer. Always crashing and the like. Ran it a second time, and it didn't. Can't wait for the full version. Should be a corker of a game.

Oooh, thanks. I'm glad to hear it's your computer XD I fixed the animation bug now. ^_^ Had to kind of re-do the sloping engine, needed another detector. I don't really know what kind of enemies to have in this, though, maybe jumping on their heads to kill them, or maybe collect guns and rocks to throw at them... I'm definitely going to have a minigame which is like Mortal Kombat, with 2 players. And maybe like a 2 player split screen thing. that's if I can figure out how to do that, of course.

23rd May, 2004

Yeah, have mini-games. They always add variety and stuff. A mortal kombat Mini-game would be hella cool. Or maybe a upside down first person shoot em up? Who knows! :P

Oh yeah, i could do that... I can use Mode7 now, can't I...

A rather well made engine you've got there, Phizzy. I found an animation bug too, when you jump and hit your head on the platform above (or in this case, below) you, the character plays the 'turning' animation. It's probably got to do with the way your animations are set up though, not the code. Good to see you're experimenting with ideas like parallax scrolling and springs and the like. You'll have some quality games underway before you know it. Also, the turning animation is fairly smooth and looks good. All you really need to do is work on the walking animation. Keep it up.

24th May, 2004

Yay, not really any bad comments! ^_^ I'll try and figure that little bug out there, Rick. Walking was the first animation I did after my original design, so I guess it is a little crap... I'll fix that now.

I've redone the walking animation now, it looks much better to me. He even puts his feet on the ground! :O

ohh, this is cool. although if i push a combo of buttons my monitor flips upside down (not an bug, it can do that, it's really cool!) so i can just play it like any other platformer.

Nice stuff man, smooth, and a nice concept.

Wait, then he can also play all the games reversed.. That's cool, then this game isn't that useful. BTW, what's different about reversed gravity. No offence, but I don't think it's really cool.. Unless it adds something to the game, perhaps a puzzleplatform game, you need to switch to collect the other gems (for example..).. I dunno, but nice work!

"it might be useful for someone" what? This download is useful for noone but me. I'm making a game, and this was a public engine test. I believe you to be a dumbass with no eyes.

Technically, it should be "Reversed Gravity Land' because anti gravity means that you aren't pulled towards anything.

how hard do u cop it from behind phizz, yess i remember u, ur games still are gay. ripping graphics is the bomb, saves not having to make ya own so ya got more time to have sex and smoke dope. u obviously dnt hav a gf if uve made soo many freakin games and apps. Too much time on ya hands, get a cunt up ya. Peace

Oh, really hard. And 'still'? Yeah, old things stay the same. Ripping graphics is something retarded, completely untalented people do.

Your other super-logical statements are just way too clever for me to even respond to.
