want to have your art in a game?

[tommosaur]

hello,
i´m Ugur Ister from an independant art & entertainment creation group called stimunation ( http://www.stimunationgames.com/ ).
we´re several coders,musicians and artists working togeteher on all sorts of stuff, mostly games.
To earn our living we do things for clients, when we can we just do things we want to make :)
We´ve got several skaters in our team, we also like beatboxing and street art, so yeah, we thought we could make a game which features all that :)
Right now we´re at the state that i coded a good part of the skating part in the game and we got mando (german beatbox champion) on board to do sfx and tunes for the game and now i´d like to add street art in the backgrounds.
The idea is that the backgrounds would be made up of photo collages of what street artists brought onto walls etc.
Each level´s backgrounds would showcase art from another artist (i think there´ll be 10 levels in total) so you´d explore all the art while skating around.
let me know if you´re into having your art featured in the game.

[ODonthesetrees]

[bOxcaR]

[CodeSix]

[toke_wdc]

waht the fuck

[toke_wdc]

what the fuck. can you post some preview shit of the game???

[Derogatory9o5]

maybe......

[tommosaur]

hey there people,
sorry for my late reply, the thread wasn´t posted right away since i´m a newby member and i didn´t realize it got posted later..

The game is an internet game which will be free to play for anyone, you can try a test built here: http://www.stimunationgames.com/kickflipAlpha03_2/

haha, ODonthesetrees, if i ever work on a game about jenna jameson i´ll get back to you regarding your offer :D

[toke_wdc]

did you notice that these people don't like you...cose this thread. and the beta version of the game sucks.

[tuckfoys]

u muhfukas are too paranoid wen it comes to this shit. think evry one who asks for art is a cop

[tommosaur]

to toke: if you think the test version of the game sucks let me know which part sucks in your eyes and i´ll try to improve it, that´s what test versions are there for :)
also i don´t think people here don´t like me (they have no reason to cause they don´t even know me), they were just making fun and yup, i posted the test version link cause you asked for it.

[silentchaos14]

ive been playin yur game for about 10 minutes now and i like it so far but its kinda easy lol

[toke_wdc]

improve on the overall movement of the character and add more stuff the the skate environment.

[silentchaos14]

yeah im with toke on that one, it needs more stuff to skate and u should add in some more moves like manuals

[tommosaur]

thanks for the good suggestions fellas, i´ll work on all those and post a link to the new version then :)
to silentchaos14 : haha, yeah, its a bit tricky with the difficulty, for some its too easy, others can´t get a single grind going... Well, hope it´ll be better with the difficulty when i add a training mode for the beginners and more skatable stuff to have more challenge for the seasoned gamers :)

[thesilentvandal]

ya i would want my art to be in the game ... where do i send it?

[MoLD]

it was aight
but it says cute

[tommosaur]

haha, yeah, it gives ratings based on your combo length and "cute" is like for a starter combo :)

to thesilentvandal: do you have a site where i could check some of your art out? ideally everything should be photographed right from the front (not angled) and showing as much of the wall/house as possible.
i also sent you a pm with my mail address.

[tommosaur]

hey there all, just wanted to let you know that the game is online now :)
https://www.mochiads.com/games/kickflip_v1/

Its funny, as i didn´t make this game for a single specific client initially i didn´t fear any client restrictions so i just added things i like like beatboxing sound and street art. Funnily when i recently showd the game to Wrigley´s (one of our clients for whom we do contract work in between) they loved the game for exactly those things i added because i didn´t fear client restrictions =D
They wanted to have the game right away and now its online on their site here: https://www.mochiads.com/games/kickflip_v1/

As i said the game features backgrounds by several artists, like walls made up of pictures from Chase´s awesome "Remember who you are" series

or the not less wicked photo collages from Anastasia Muna´s Project Chimera Series

http://www.stimunationgames.com/media/showCase/kickflip/AnaGameScreenDraft.jpg (https://www.mochiads.com/games/kickflip_v1/)

which give those levels a very surreal feel =)
Visit the creds section for links to the artists´sites =)

The game also features several custom made tunes by 2 times german beatbox champion mando :) (You can select the one you want in the pre level screen =) )
There are also several beatboxing sfx, i think its especially funny that it builds up to a beatboxing tune when one lands a longer combo =)

On the gameplay side there are several more tricks supported in the game now, the most important ones are probably manuals since one can use those to chain together air,ground and rail tricks.

Anyway, hope people like it and play it a lot because then we can do a second part later with propper budget where i´d like to add more tricks, more gameplay modes and also more art :-)

For now i hope you enjoy this (https://www.mochiads.com/games/kickflip_v1/) :)

cool only the music is fuckin annoiing
laturrrr

[tommosaur]

sorry to hear, what kind of music would you have prefered for it?
btw meanwhile i added mochiads to it to try advertising driven financing game dev, in return anyone can download the game and put it on his site for free.
you can grab it here if you want, also updated the links in my previous post:

Death metal

You should make a radio in the pause menu so I can pick the genre of music I like.
And if you make it a burner don't cover the whole wall, the colors would be too obnoxious.
It would also be better if the gravity was slightly lower.

I'm not really feeling that character either...

[tommosaur]

ok, nice, i´ll work on a custom playlist feature so you can add own mp3s to the playlist and those get played during the game.
