Game update. So soon?! This contains thoughts, too

Posted by Bobert-Rob - November 20th, 2008


Okay, so I've been updating the game a fair amount. The game runs at 25 fps now instead of 20. It was 20 because that's what every Siblings episode has been since I started it. Of course, I think the game feels a lot better at this faster speed, so I think I'll keep it. What do you guys think? Same url, http://games.bobert-rob.com, so if you want to check out the slightly updated version you can. The new keys are 'Z' for attack, 'X' for jumping.

I'm also thinking of taking out the combo system altogether. Yeah, if you press Z with the right timing, it does a two hit combo sort of thing. I'm not really sure I want this to be a button mashing game, I'd like to put more strategy into it than that. So I'm considering making it so that different combinations of buttons can do different attacks instead. For instance, in the demo if you hold 'Up' and attack, Johny will strike upward instead of forward. Down + attack would become the lower attack, etc. I could always do both, of course. The Up + Attack combination works right now, so check it out and let me know.

EDIT: I've made the attack collisions transparent, perfected the jumping how I want it, and have added the jumping attack. And now the starting screen is full of evil bubbles to test these various attack styles. AAAAAH!

not bad...oh yeah first coment!!!!!!!O:<

OMG YER TEH COOLEST ROB. R YEW DUN EPISEWD 6 YET?
I HOP SO!
I like anime, have you heard of it?

Oh hush. Use not your insider knowledge to heckle me. To outsiders, this appears sincere on your part. Give them not the fuel to fire misunderstanding!

Dude i'm like bloody tripping out, note: if u don't no this already u jump of u can move around and stuff >.< but this game is retarded in the funny way and good way, i guess.

I know, I kind of like that. Unrealistic to be able to change direction in mid air, but it feels the best and leads to less pitfalls. Then again, since when have video games EVER been known for being realistic? Especially ones involving evil bubbles, heh.

Sweet! Hey somethings been bugging me....are you planing to release the game on Newgrounds when your done with it?

Why yes, yes I will. Of course, it'll take a year or longer to finish it, as it's an incredibly ambitious project. I'm just trying to get the system to work flawlessly (or as close to flawlessly as possible) first before I start making the actual game, hence the testing and hence the super early demo being available.

I played the demo and... it felt so smooth! the animation was spot on and the jumping was great! But may I recommend that half-beard makes an appearance?

It probably won't. This is more of a parody game, not a Siblings game for the sake of a Siblings game. Though who knows, maybe. I mean, Rob will be a playable character... a secret playable character, but playable.

Wow! Big improvement from the other day actually. Damn those bubbles, will they never learn?!?

Rob should definitely use his half beard as a weapon, it would just make awesomeness wet itself. Can I also take it Johnny's death is still a work in progress? He just kind of floats in the top corner when I tried it.

Lookin forward to the final product!

Yes, still working on the death animation. Though I find it funny that he just floats to the top left corner, heh. There'll be more to it later when I record sound effects for it.

And I'm thinking his attack will be more like the duct tape ball. He'll just throw that at people. It'll start as a napkin ball, but will graduate to duct tape ball when he gains enough... strength points or something.

Played the demo... Pretty darn good for a demo... I'll be waiting for the whole thing :D

Even my little sister liked it.

The animations were awesome. Hope you keep working... so many artists on newgrounds suddenly disappear. :(

Well, I'm no magician, so no vanishing act for me. Of course, don't most artists leave a "GOODBYE NEWGROUNDS" message before vaporizing? That'd be the telltale sign if anything. Glad you enjoyed the demo, hopefully it doesn't get plagued with a game killing bug or something.

Will strength points go to upgrading your pirate stat?

Really fun, a delight every time
