Giant ROM 2 - Prototyping/Drawing stuff

I actually started doing something tangible. I chose to use 8x8 sprites for the most part cause i am a really good artist.

Behold my awesome art!

No Caption Provided

The container looks like garbage, but the sheep looks alright. I guess that orange thing is a plane. Planes are hard to draw.

Now, onto making things move. Incoming.

Giant ROM 2 - Brainstorming

Here is my brainstorming process:

Kojima does:

  • Pachinko - That is ironic. Theme?
  • Match-3 Game - Theme?
  • Something with robots? Zone of the Enders inspired thing. Robot melodrama. I don’t want to fight. But i am a soldier. This is what i do. Gundam.
  • Puzzle platformer about the war economy. War is Bad.
  • Minigame where you have to put eyepatches on things. Kojima loves to put eyepatches on everything.
    • Put eyepatches on things, but what?
    • Several screens:
    • Generic military guy
    • Dog. Put eyepatch on dog. Is it a wolf?
    • Robert Edison Fulton, Jr . Top screen reads “this is Robert Edison Fulton, Jr - He invented a lot of stuff”
    • Things are fulton’ed after eyepatch'ed
    • After some attempts at drawing stuff. I’m not a great artist.
  • Fulton Plane simulator.
  • Ballon cord has a green region. Pass through the green region with the plane to collect object.
  • It's simple it's effective and i can make something with the remaining time. Chosen.

The name

I'm going to use the Kojima process to name things. Use random words that sound cool together:

Sky gear?

Sky apparatus?

Transfultoning?

Sky stratum?

Metal drift stratum?

Metal drift stratum: Fulton simulator

Giant ROM 2: Backstory

I got a little bit too lazy and i'm starting a game for Giant ROM 2 with 3 days left.

The theme is:

"WHAT HIDEO KOJIMA DOES NEXT"

Since i've got a small amount of time, i'm going to use PICO-8 to produce something simple. It is going to be my first try using this.

What is PICO-8? It is a fantasy console by Lexaloffle Games. It provides a small set of tools for game creation, while keeping it all really focused (and constrained).

The tools are defined, but what i am going to make?

My Kojima backstory

I played Lunar Knights and Metal Gear Solid years after the release (not to completion), so i'm not what you call a Kojima connoisseur. I've watched all of Metal Gear Scanlon though.

Although i like the ridiculous stories from Metal Gear, almost everytime the melodrama is too much for me.

I like Metal Gear as i like Anime. I like it crazy but keep Japanese clichés to a minimum. Unfortunately, as i understand, you sometimes cannot have one without the other.

Right. I'm going to start brainstorming now.
