make the levelling system go backwards

so you start off at some absurd number of exp at level 99

and you work your way up, getting progressively less and less exp from enemies, which LOWERS your exp score, until the final hardest mobs in the game give you 1, and you have to kill 1000 of them to get to the hallowed level 1.

Make various forum members the player characters or the Bosses. Indigo Dingo could command a giant hightech War Machine, but no one knows how to really OPERATE it that well. He could be the games Cid, with his Powered Ship 3.

Eggo could be a technophilic mechanic, who constantly derides and mocks the blunts who don't know how to build their own machines.

Decoy Doctorpus could be some crazy guy who lives in the woods dressed up as an owl who speaks in riddles. Also he has an inexplicably hot girlfreind and no one is quite sure why she digs him.

And the Big Bad? Yahtzee Crowshaw. Complete with Hat. So long as EA keeps making Bad Games, he can keep mocking them and stay famous and wealthy!

Anyway, since I've had a lot of questions about the program, more or less what it's capable of, and what kinda games it spews out, I've hammered out a quick, maybe 15-25 minute gameplay demo for you folks. This is certainly not my main project, and is a "demo" built specifically to give a rough idea of the overall of how this program works.

Demo Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?znlyyznddjd
Old, clunky Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?zziepbkalxe
Newer, Shinier Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?hdhab2smstm

EDIT
Figures, I find an error with my code the split second I upload it... Re-uploading...

Post-EDIT
Okay, uploaded the corrected version. This one shouldn't have any problems...
At least, I hope it doesn't.

Post-Post-EDIT
Okay, I found another hole in the programming. Patched it, and I think I've got all of the problems covered now. Third time's the charm, I hope...

But wouldn't you just go back to the mobs that get rid of 1,000 exp and kill one?

Please tell me you will have escapist in-jokes all over the game.

EDIT. Also the demo you put up won't work.

Ultrajoe as the main character.

Just getting it out there, while no one else has.

PS. Name all of the NPCs as members from the Escapist. That would be brain-eatingly awesome, especially to the people you put in there. I just downloaded the demo, I'm going to go try it.

EDIT: Damn, the demo won't work. Some .dll file is missing.

I was thinking of a pathetic stick that most people would toss away or sell, you know to get away from the whole "SUPAH AWESOME POWREFLU AWESOME WEAPUN" stereotype, but hey it's up to Nuke Lassic.
That reminds me of Bad Day L.A. Sure, the game was a piece of garbage (sorry, American), but the funniest part of the game was that the most powerful weapon in the entire game was a pair of nail clippers found at an airport.

Anyway, having the game's best weapon be something incredibly mundane and otherwise unimportant would be hilarious. Oh, and I also want to have a fedora be an armor option.

Ain't working Mr. Lassic, I ran the EXE which extracted a bunch o' files to my My Games folder, double click the big game icon, pops up with a window, makes an error sound and then instantly closes down.

I will love you forever Nuke Lassic if you somehow implement me in the game.

I love you.

Forever.

But I'd love you more if the demo would work for me, says something about extraction files curropted or something.

Pffft, I'm on my friends computer and his dad doesn't allow us to download much things so I was sortof hasting through the download process (as in, just download, see if it works or not, and exit).

I'll download it back at my house......please tell me I'm in there somewhere...

I think Mr. Lassic gave me a super-secret updated version because he's on my MSN list and we were chatting about it. The ones in the links on the previous page don't work for me.

Not yet you're not, though bear in mind this is the demo and not the finished version ;o There's still time for you Jumpy.

Maaaaaybeeeee. There is a 'ghost' in there. And I suppose they probably sinned at some point in time...

I don't doubt that Nuke will get back from the shop in ten minutes, check the thread, go "Oh shi-" and hurry up with a re-edited demo with more people in.

My suggestion: The main character is a teenager in a secret secluded community up in the mountains or something where all the children are sent away at a young age and can only return once they have saved the world from imminent and total destruction. A "right of passage" if you will.

A couple NPC's in town talking about how "I've saved humanity 6 times now" and "Kids these days have world saving so easy."

So, you go out into the real-world and immiediately discover that every other city in Europe hates you. Everytime someone from your town comes around things start blowing up and god damnit we haven't even invented gun powder yet so it's either magic or the gods themselves pimpslapping us. The obvious "starter town" chases you from their borders and you end up on the other side of the map.

No one will rent you a hotel or sell anything to you so you end up sleeping in the street next to a midevil dumpster. Where you meet the heroine. I coked up homeless girl. Also from your town, she came her a while back and has been selling pot to stay afloat.

You worm through her cynical distrust / heroine addiction and convince her to save the world with you.

And so you imbark on an epic quest to first find someone trying to destroy the earth and then stop him. At the end of the game you get to go home and your reward is they let you drink beer and get your own place.

Blarg!

Okay, after some minor Scooby-Doo hijinks, I think I've got a demo that actually works. Here's the link to it. Personally, I have no way of testing (as all of them have worked for me), so someone let me know if this one actually does the trick.

Newest, Shiniest Demo Link of Them All: http://www.mediafire.com/?dtdw1nyzmei

Was 4 hours of work worth this 20 minute demo? Maybe...
Anyway, here you gents go.
