Hey folks, 
Tech TheNoob. WHILE SOME (okay prob most) Know about it... I have created a new thing. 
Fusionfall Spawn Rush is it's name, no it's not actually fusionfall...... but perhaps you guys can look at it and play it. It does have music but you have to manually turn it on, seeing as of right now it's compiled to manually have no sound. :*( 

Reguardless, check it out, and leave a review, I would love to hear what you think!
http://techthenoob.com/product/fusion-spawn-rush/

I didn't expect it to be a match-3-colours game. And I guess it's alright... I'm not really a fan of match-3-colours games... Unless it's Doctor Who: Legacy.

simple fun and good way to kill boredom,  I like it. 

11/01

I'm on my phone at the moment so I can't try the game out but
I can say I like the design/art in the screenshot.

Did you tell everyone in the resurrection group about this?

nupeeeeee. figured posting here would clear all the gaps. 
Also yeah it's been chill, I deleted facebook from my phone to hault the ammount of time I am on facebook. (been working on coding, school, work.) and schtuff. good to see you are alive and kickin

simple and clean (hehehe KH joke) real nice. the sword reminds me of the old days....    sadness

I only looked at the code for like 2 seconds but from what I gather

Code:

// Play music if it wasn't playing
 if (!_song.isPlaying()) {
 _song.setLooping(true);
        _song.play();
 }

is your function for playing the music

Code:

// INITIAL GAME STATE
 if (_state == State.InitialGems) {
 // If animation ended
 if ((_animTime += deltaT) >= _animTotalInitTime) {
 // Switch to next state (waiting for user input)
 _state = State.Wait;
 _board.endAnimation();
 
// Reset animation step counter
 _animTime = 0;
 }
 }

Sets the stage for the rest of the game. So you should be able to play music during the initial game state; however if everything is reset during the change of each state then you can use a loop to make sure it plays throughout all states.

I'm impressed with the aesthetics and the game does run nicely,
no lag or bugs or anything.
The simple concept is complimented with the shiny and bold graphics
and animations, etc. The hint button is pretty nice too.

I've not really played Candy Crush or whatever other variations of those games are called, they never
EVER interested me in the slightest but this game
has a different feel to it and is visually appealing and nostalgic.
(The music was a nice touch that greatly improved the atmosphere as does the colour scheme
and FusionFall icon graphics.)

I'm going to keep this game on my hard drive to remind me of
the wonderful world that is FusionFall.
Great work, The TechNoob.

@Hannah, that's nice of you to help The TechNoob like that.  
You lovely people.  

Spoiler:

Lol just kidding.

XLR8, i know this is off topic, but go get "METAL GEAR RISING" .... you will die happy.

Or live happily.  
Well I had considered this game when the trailer came out but
the level of gore isn't my cup of tea. It's just too excessive in my personal opinion.
(But then again, I'm the kinda guy that usually tends to choose playing as a cop than as a criminal in a video game.)

If I do get the game, I'll probably get the
Japanese version since it has white blood. (The enemies are robots after all.)
I just don't feel comfortable doing those nasty ninja kills.
I'm good guy Greg.    
 

Disregarding the gore, it does look pretty decent however.
Also, off topicness is fine on this forum as long as it's not insanely random,
or holds no purpose whatsoever, e.g. spam.

But but you actually are the hero!.....And you have devil may cry as your avatar! What sorcery is this? Do you not realize how bad a#& raiden is? Everyone is a robot I'm game that you kill......so just assume their blood is kool aid! It's got so awesome of scenes to and right now at game stop it fits for 16 bucks!


And now for a random topic that has never stopped pi

LOL xlr this isnt x+13 section remember? First time I seen a real good meme pic from X LOL
got me LOLing man.
By the way, just being honest but this is pretty repetitive it got boring after 5 minutes :-(
If I am gonna waste time, I wouldn't play this since there is much more other games but, good work though pretty cool :-)



btw x that pic is a guy smoking a drug thats green and gets you high in the sky

The world will never know, ma boy.
It will never know.   
White haired reboot Dante = Raiden = XLR8, my FF character.
(Ok ok, this equation is only valid in my mind but whatever.  
They all look similar, use swords and are superhuman in some form. )
Never played a Metal Gear Solid game in my life but Raiden seems cool.
Maybe after my exams.

*Photoshops meme*    
Let's just say it's a lolipop.   

I just thought. If we're not allowed to post anything about drugs (Except in the way Zero did, telling X about the meme), then are we allowed to talk about this guy?:

@Oli, Creepy Cartoon Theories?  
Well, I dunno, glamourising drugs is DEFINITELY a no no.
I guess it's probably ok to either talk about it with
a big warning or something and and maybe a spoiler, not sure.

The 13+ section can definitely be used for this, though.
For stuff like this, it's good to get Undelos' opinion.
I'm pretty sure drugs would almost completely not be mentioned
on kids' TV shows but I dunno.  
13+ section would attract the best audience any way.  
I don't think there's any point talking about it in a normal section.
I wonder how many people actually know about the 13+ section...   
And not just the alternative whole forum.

XLR8 147 wrote:

Well I've noticed there's still quite a lot of members that don't have their name
in light green/yellow indicating the 13+ section is visible to them.

i mean i dunno how you get to be part of it..

all i know is that one day my dame was white
and the next it was yellow...
 

@Glory, I think you requested for it and one of us admins did it for you.

The other way is to click the 13+ Confidential group on the forum home page and request it with a link.
(Not sure exactly what the next step is as I'm an admin and never needed to request to be
part of this group lol. But it should be fairly obvious. )

interesting   


well it seems like if people really thought they were missing something they'd join...

but nothing really happens in that section either xP hahaha

and grumpy's not around as much to fill up the art one

X it's totes not a mgs game, far from it.... I'm a hardcore fan of mgs and I'm always at school, but if you buy it and pop it in one day you will enjoy. The first tut mission is meh second is meh third eye brow rising.... third is amazing! Then it just keeps getting better

well technically it is a Metal Gear Solid game, just without the stealth and gun-play

Metal Gear Eyebrows Rising. Dat title tho. 

That's like saying fusionfall hero's is fusionfall.......

That's like saying people want to actually help recreate FusionFall instead of write garbage story lines…oh wait.

Did you ever fix the music in your game?

Lulz! Haha not yet, I have been exceedingly busy. I should look at it tonight. Question, were you looking at the source or the already compiled file? Because I am unable to learn to compile at this moment, it proves to be very tedious

I was looking at the source code. By the way, you should convert it to AS3 and put it on Kongregate and such and make a few bucks. 

Look, some idiot already made a Phineas and Ferb game:
http://www.kongregate.com/games/wayak/bejeweled-phineas-ferb?acomplete=bejewe

Lol all you have to do is decompile that game and change the textures. If you put it on every game website you might make $50 and then you can buy junk from Amazon.

Sounds good, I shall look into it

AND NOW FOR THE MOST EPIC NEWS!

I just updated that thing .... yeah.... same place to download, and it's labeled v2 it's now compatible for mac OS, and it's bigger screen resolution..............withhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh music automatically turned on in game!  

I'm happy! next step will be mobile! THEN on to other games?

LOL JEEZ OLIVER YOU GOT ME ROFLING  

Also, shout out to Hannah. I have some really cool SHTUFF possibly coming down the pipe. Las night she did some cool SHTUFF that I wont talk about, but it's open the doors to possibly reskining the java and putting it in flash to then become mobile  i'm so excited!

Mod message: please avoid trying to bypass the censor filter.

That word is inappropriate on this kid friendly site.

Thanks!

You MODs....ARE USELESS!!!



Or maybe you MODs are just not as Hawk Eyed as I am... 
You're entirely welcomed to call me a slave driver.  

@Tech TheNoob, mind not trying to bypassing the censor filter?
(You modified an inappropriate word.)
I replaced the word with 'shtuff' in your post.
Try to avoid doing it again though.
Thanks!
BTW, those FusionFall hover board ideas on your website look awesome!
The nostalgia is killing me... :moon: 

And MODs....try to be a little more vigilant. K?

And I'm not even that much of a "usual" here

so can we not say chiz?
I know that's in iCarly...

so I'd never say it anyways

Heeeey.....tech. Think you can use this to rebuild interest in fusionfall? could you use this as a side project to help support Hannah's project?

It could include a small bio somewhere in the main menu where players can read about our efforts to recreate and build...........BUT also looking for well versed programmers that wouldnt mind joining in on the project to help Hannah, wilt, and the others out?

Just an Idea I had...

Only one person has offered to help so far and the others just offered to "come up with ideas" so it's obvious that people are interested in the game in terms of playing it - not making it.

Anyways, I was re-creating Wilt's original scene the other day since it has a bunch of console errors (in addition to some areas being dissymmetrical) so I scrapped it and I'm building it from the ground up. 

So since I will end up doing much of the work I've decided that once the game is testable (3-4 areas completed along with Player Login and Chat) that I will charge a monthly subscription fee to play (meaning you won't have an account unless you pay) and I will have a system to ensure that only one person plays each account or they will be banned.

However, those who contribute to the creation of the game to my satisfaction will have their subscription fees waived and will be able to play for free possibly along with in-game perks. 

I hate to be cynical about this but it seems this is the direction we're heading. In the event that by the time I finish (which will take much longer by myself) and there's no interest in the game, I can just sell the source to the highest bidder since I am familiar with this market. Post your thoughts.

I don't know what's going on in other peoples' lives or minds but
I suspect you're not totally wrong about being a little cynical in terms of
thinking only few people will help out at best.

You probably are correct to an extent but we'll see in the summer to rule
that out. There is a strong probability that most people here are either:

-Too busy with school/college/university/work.
-Lazy/not interested.
-Simply cannot help. <----This is the most likely along with school.
Some people are only good at giving ideas. (And even then...)
Some people are just not lucky enough to be multi-talented.   
Just kidding! There's hope for all of us.
The human brain has plastic properties. (Meaning it can change shape
with learning in this case. Neural networks are created all the time but
how you build them is what matters. No point memorising Pi
when you can be learning how to save lives for example.)

Is this inspiring anyone?  
No? 

What I'm saying is, if you don't have exams and what you're learning in school
is super easy to understand and remember, you have lots of spare time,
just spend your time playing video games you've already beaten, watching T.V. show repeats, etc.
Then why not help out?    
But if you're like me, with lots of insanely important exams...
wait 'till summer... 
Though I'll be spending a portion of my summer either
having fun or getting a head start for the next academic year.

Darn. Hannah, don't you have exams too?
Maybe you should start in the summer or is it busy then too?

BTW, just in case you didn't see it from another thread:

Shoot for the stars Hannah!

People always tell me that "This is the only thing I can do/the only thing I'm good at" which I never really understood since I know how to program but I'm learning to create Unity scenes even now. It's really just a matter of watching tutorials and applying them. The more likely scenario is that "This is the only thing I can do" becomes the same as "This is the only thing I want to do."

Anyways, It's completely fine for people of be all these things

Yeah, Calculus, various Logic classes (Programming Logic for instance - foundation for higher-level classes) and some Labs. All of which the finals are coming up so I'm going to wait until finals are over to resume work.

You normally don't get too many errors if you build the project yourself from scratch. You must have used another project as a base  .

Lol. By the way, you can post flash games on the homepage of this forum. 
http://help.forumotion.com/t131-flash-games-on-your-board

But Hannah, I DID make it from scratch. (Terrain and all.)
Ok so I used some pre-made scripts but the entirety
of the game otherwise was completely of my own work,
excluding some textures I think.
It was made on an old version of Unity.
I was 14...

Still, it SHOULD be error free because I
installed the same version it was made on
(luckily still had the install file for the old version)
so I don't see how that could have made a difference.
I'm pretty sure if it's corrupted, it's not because of
viruses. I hardly ever get viruses/trojans/rootkits/malware, etc....
Ever. Hardly.

I'm thinking it's got something to do with moving
file directories (I had to backup my PC a few of times for OS re-installation) because once,
suddenly ALL the textures were UNBINDED!
So I had to add EVERY darn texture back in.
But that was back when it was still working.

The game is also in a browser form on the Xtreme website, if that helps...
(Doubt it as it probably has some form of basic
download protection let alone full asset ripping.)

I guess I could still rip the game but it's just not the same...

not to rain lightning on you, Hannah, but wouldn't the Hammer of Copyright strike the project down if it was for monetary gain?   ...unless you have some way of getting around that   

i also wouldn't count on gaining much of an audience what with most of the fanbase being cheapskates  

Dragoon's right. It's okay to remake a game that was never your's, as long as you don't earn any money. Which is why ToonTown Rewritten and Pirates of the Caribbean Rewritten will be 100% free.

To keep the servers open, you'll need to find some way to get donations legally. Like TTR is being given money by the Toonbook team.

Okay...

Now i know nothing about business, nor would i spend any money...

Just cuz i'm cheap, but if this worked, hey, maybe i would..



But what if people made a bunch more games like this one? Like the simple thing...

Like, imagine it...

Flappy Bird, but with a fusion spawn and the cardboard boxes from the cul de sac instead of the bird and pipes

A game like robot unicorn attack, with a fusionfaller on a hoverboard jumping to collect nanos (instead of butterflies) and dashing to destroy fuse (instead of the stars)

A card game like the card jitsu in club penguin, (like rock paper scissors, but with cards) but instead the atmosphere would be your trading to get rare items, so like, blindfold beats jd wings, jd wings beat the purple bio, and the bio beats the blindfold (don't ask me, i never traded haha so i have no idea)


.... things like that..

Then you could have it suuuuper cheap, like 50 cents or something... or even 99 if its a netter game,
Just as a suggested donation...

I'm sure you get tooooons of money, because people would want to play the games, relive the nostalgia, and support the cause!



I mean,
I don't know anything about coding...

But some of these seem simple enough... i could possible google it...
Or at least draw out the plans for them  




is this crazy?

I dunno, maybe...

I just thought it'd be worth a shot...

Because it's not as expensive as a membership, so more people would be willing to pay,
Plus it would give people who donate something in return...

Obviously, that asks the question,
If people could do that, why aren't they working on the game?

Well, i don't feel like i could do anything...

Heck, i don't even know what html is..
But i CAN tell you what a hashtag is...
.... i think   



But i feel like i could figure out how to make a fusion spawn bounce up and down with one touch... to avoid the boxes...



It's just an idea...

Like giving back to the people who donate...

Because lets say people donate a ton of money and it never gets done?

At least this way, a few people won't be spending a lot of money (unless their generous), it would only be a little, but from a ton more people...

AND if the game never got finished,

At least the fandom would have a ton of games that reminded us of the good times







i dunno... i thought it was a pretty good idea....

wait. Does that kick starter thing count as a way to get donations or is it a way to get people to pay for something, Americans with their  thingamajigs
