Surrogate Assassins Dev Blog #3

Another small update. 

Here’s a snap of the single layered homes with a lighting pass and a rooftop connection  

I’ll be adding small hideaways within any stone walls.  This one I think will be turned into a bar

Small healthbars on neutral citizens.  Regular healthbar on player. 

 

Separate healthbars for player and surrogate.  (Bars are functional but largely untested)

Surrogate Assassins Dev Blog #1

So after about three days of thinking this through, I think I’m going to do it.

Day 1: I said to myself… “Hey. I wanna make an assassin game for LittleBigPlanet.”

Day 2: I came up with a game mechanic for “hidden blade” assassinations. 

Day 3: I’m blogging about it.

What is Surrogate Assassins?   Well it’s my idea for a somewhat living world in Little Big Planet. It is inspired by Assassin’s Creed but also by games like Max Payne, Super Mario bros and Monster Party.

The game will look and act like a 2D platformer when it comes to running and jumping but some of the combat mechanics will pay homage to some of my favourite 3D shooters.

Enter/exit from the roof or front door.

Early shot of some homeless sackpeople.

This blog will track my idea game development from conception to fruition.

The first Screenshot above is an example of the simple architecture of the “Home world” It allows for swiftly entering and exiting the property for assassination purposes and if needed, quick escape.  After some stickers and a lighting pass this area will look cleaner.

The second shot is a still of a homeless community of refugees outside the entrance to what will be the “Slums”

I’ll be back every day or two to blog about this game as it nears a playable beta.  Once this game becomes a beta, I fully intend to release it to the public and watch it grow.

DO-OVER

Let’s try the episode 3 blog entry thing again…  My last entry seemed kind of asshole-ish.

Oh and by the way – I’ve got ish 2 do

 

OK! So if you look below, there is the 3rd episode of my webshow! And I promise more in the future as long as my real life doesn’t prevent me from doing so  . . .  So after you watch, be sure to read the story below regarding why this was such a long time coming.

 

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG!?!?

Basically.  I had a lot of stuff to do.  I work, I play video games, I have friends and family that want attention so sometimes it is really tough getting momentum going for this blog and this show.  And because of that I haven’t been as involved in the gaming community as I want to be.  And partly because a lot of gamers are losers. (I’m sorry but you really are and I can prove this to you) Maybe not a lot but if you’re a gamer, you know damn well there are a significant number of jackasses out there that sit and do nothing but play games, think they’re badasses and invent stupid yet fun words like pwned.  Yet, I love em all. From the good to the bad, the eclectic and eccentric tastes of gamers are what make it the most diverse bunch of freaks out there. Because hey… at my core, I’m one of you!

But simply put, I just didn’t have the time.  But after having a falling out with one of my closest friends (whom I’ve famously said is my brother from a separate set of parents) I’ve realized how much time I’ve been wasting.  So no more.

I know I come across as a prick sometimes when I talk but I’m the embodiment of the community as a(n) (ass)whole.

Athletes and gamers are the best at talkin trash!

Let's get it started.... Again

Here we go again folks. Help spread the word. Embed, text people, email the links and word of mouth. DO WHATEVER YOU GOTTA DO!

Am I still a PS3tard?

I didn’t use the *R-word*. And my sympathies to poor Jennifer Anniston over her choice of words. She is now under extreme fire… I don’t see why. Other blogs covered this so I don’t need to.

BUT! Am I still a PS3tard?
I mean, my praise has been declining and my critiques have been going up. But I just want the best from my beloved console.

Ok, fair enough but I went 50 days straight without touching the PS3, Which you saw on my 360’s blog. I can’t deny that I spent time away from the PS3 but nothing more than a week. I still played Bayonetta, Oblivion, Star Wars, Mod Nation Racers, God Of War, Assassins Creed 2 and Both Watchmen games and the order of my Trophy list will reflect that.

So, what about me riding all the 360 exclusives dinks?
Too Human and DOAX2 are garbage. Do I think they are better than PS3 exclusives? For Co-Op, Undeniably yes. For Singleplayer – PS3. And why would I buy anything other than exclusives? Should I buy the Cross-platform titles too? I mean I am paying to play so maybe I should be on a network where people want to play…

Yeah about that… See, I have been crapping loads all over PSN users. When they do play online a lot. They just don’t know how the invite button works. On the other hand on XBL all I have to do even in the most extreme case is come online playing the same game as anybody else … *Ding* Invite. The PS3 is and always will be the superior system and I’m sure I’ve ridden this thing into the ground.
