Ridiculosity - A Game That is Utterly Ridiculous
« on: 2008-02-17, 09:13:00 PM »
I think the title says it all - I've started working a new game (for the first time in a year?). Anyways, the game is going to a fighting game in the style of Super Smash Bros, along with single-player sidescrolling levels. Be warned, the scrolling levels are going to be completely random in their structure, and may be incredibly difficult. The other 'ridiculous' factor in this game will be its characters. Screenshots + more info coming soon.

I doubt that it'll take me more than 3 tries to beat it.
But who am I to talk... Sounds Sweet!

I was inspired to do the whole 'insane difficulty' thing after watching my friend play the game 'Super Mario Intrigue':

Good grief, those are insane.  Were those in the real Super Mario World, or did someone hack it?

oh my GOD! the part with the bomb is unbelievable!! and the part with the tortoise shell... and ... and ... ALL OF THAT IS HARDCORE!
i suppose one  can script those moving platforms with sgdk2 also?
it must be so goddamn tricky to make a level the player doesn't need to move. i mean this level where mario bounces on these note blocks and stands on a moving platform, which delivers him to the next platform or note block. special world level 3.

It's not part of the regular Mario World, its a ROM hack that people play with a SNES emulator. It's almost painful to watch a 'normal' person playing SM Intrigue, because the difficulty level is so high. I'm not planning on making my game THAT difficult, but after the player has learned how to play it the levels are going to get pretty hard.

Sweet! (Good luck, Godspeed, Mazeltov, and whatnot.) I hope it's as good as it sounds.

try "N"

awesome ninja game, starts off easy but the last levels are just so unbelievably hard (or download a heap of user made levels, usually hard as hell, or MAKE YOUR OWN)

Yeah, I've played 'N'. That one is pretty challenging too.

Ridiculosity Concept #7:
There will be sheep. Touching sheep will result in imminent death. Sheep can attack from anywhere and at anytime. Obviously, the player has done something great and horrible to all of sheepkind before the main events of the game.

The latest issue of Wired talked about this project where a guy collected 10,000 drawings of sheep for $.02 each online: http://www.thesheepmarket.com/

The First Level: Our hero awakens in a forest. He must find a sword in order to destroy the invisible barriers blocking him from going to the castle... where there is evil.
