So I made a nice little arcade game from scratch in Java and I felt like showing it to the forum. It's nothing very big and definitely buggy, but it's a game I made in my free time to hone my skills, so to speak.

Link

So feel free to criticize/praise me/it, for it will never be fully finished and I guess you could say I'm done with it. Like I said, I didn't focus on playability.

Now, these are by no means actual games to be released. Just spout random ideas that would take advantage of the controller and stuff. But I would like to start off.

Star Wars: Full Force

Complete with corny and punny title!

Anyways, what better idea is there than using your Wiimote as a lightsaber?? None! Complete with wookie bowcasters and cool force powers. Also a one-on-one duel mode.

Cool force powers:

When the lightsaber is off, aim the Wiimote at an object, press a button, and then the object is tethered via force to your 'mote. You can reel it in to make it closer or farther, and use it to smack people! Also, if you aim your force cursor at an opponent's neck, you can choke them.

and thte Lightning from hands force power, of course.

Yes, it has been a while, but it is finally here.
A full list of features is on the web site.



The help file is in the game.

The reason it is at .9 is because there aren't enough parts. I have released it early so I can get some feedback into what kinds of parts are missing.



I know some people can't download from freewebs, so if someone else would like to host it...
Also, you may notice the GamingSteve logo and my name. That is because of the one no-credit incident we had a while back..


Anyways, get it here.

It's under the link that says "get it here!".

Please, feedback is important and give it a try. Remember, don't panic.


EDIT: Oh, yeah, I'd liketo thank all the people  who drew vehicles for inspiration.

I am currently making a terraforming simulation under Game Maker. However, when I say Hugg's planet generator, I saw that I only needed to change The basic program a bit to create a planet generator with visuals. So, here is my website with the Planet generator in it. You need to download the file, but it is .exe, so you don't have to do much. try experimenting with the statistics. I know that I need to make water more easy to put on your planet, bu that will be in the next version, along with any (plausible  ) suggestions you post. Tell me what you think, and before saying it sucks or whatever, remember that this is a mini-program sidetrack from the main game.
I posted it here (Spore: Creation Corner) because I thought that those most interested would be from here, or something  It was a hard decision.

Here is the website:
www.freewebs.com/genesisgame
The game is under the Planet Generator link

P.S. The game's  name was decided for before Genesis (the user) joined.

EDIT: Feel free to post suggestions here or on the guestbook

EDIT EDIT: Desperate attempt to give more attention to this topic   

What do you think the dev team is working on? I personally think they are developing the end-game and repairing bugs/glitches. Seeing as the end game is, well, the end, they need to make it exciting and playable. Also, some minor glitches were apparant in the 1up video. If you vote other, please specify.

The Saari evolved on a planet called Konto. During its early years it was very barren and rocky, not to mention windy. Very soon, extremely large caves began to form. Mini-volcanoes and puddles of water provided places for bacteria to start flourishing. Before long, multi-cellular organisms arose. This cave life was very harsh for these creatures, but it proved the best environment for one thing, sentience. Those organisms that could navigate the winding tunnels the best lived the longest. One such creature took advantage of its situation, the Saari. Eventually, they became so mentally adept they had the human IQ equivalent of 150, on average. However, since their visibility was limited, they were fragmented into tribes that feared the light. The fact that they lived in caves only added to their tribe mentality. Until along came a genetic mutation that allowed for a more flexible iris. They began venturing out in the hundreds to the open air and saw what we consider average: color. They stared at their own various shades of grey and realized that they needed to do something about it. And thus their tribal buildings became shades of blue, red, green, orange, yellow until their camps looked like a doctor Seuss confection. But what happened to those left in the caves? The planet had resumed its volcanic activity and the caves quickly filled up with lava or poisonous gasses. The cave dwellers, it was assumed, were no more. That is the beginning of their history, as it is said.

Presently these are their structures:

An aircraft

This is a water tank that shoots lasers I guess, removable compartments for multi-functionality

A UFO

This is them. They have eight spider-like legs (though not powered by compressed air) that can retract or expand depending on the rock they are stepping on. Also, They have three fingers which can come together to make a sort of pick-ax. They have an opposable thumb and a very small mouth. The fins on the back of their head let them know the wind direction and function as ears. Their lanky arms are actually quite powerful and were used to pull themselves up crevices. They have a very good sense of balance and so can "limbo" through very small tunells. This is it for now
