Whoa looks good, wna play, no body online, aww..

Yeah I'll have to work on some NPC rooms...

_________________

Yeah, but that is good start.

Thanks I have A LOT planned for it.

_________________

I love the graphics (You rip these?)
and cant wait when this is fully made.

Yeah my friend from OGC, DarkSpartan4, is doing all the graphics ripping from Super Bomberman 5 for me.

_________________

Nice, try make more areas and other styles, and ofc "game select", if you can, but good work, for first.

Alright well the next thing I'm doing is more frames for the sprite sheet

There will be 40 frames in each row of the sprite sheet.

4 frames for left foot, 4 frames for right foot = 8 frames per direction = 32 frames for walking + 4 frames for dieing = 36 frames + 4 frames for jumping when you win the round.

_________________

Omg, this gonna be fun and activy game!

Actually 41 frames (5, not 4, frames for victory jumping).

_________________

Yeah and now there will be more colors. You can be white, black, green, red, blue, and yellow. I'll also get more sprites ripped, like ninja bomberman and pirate bomberman, eventually.

_________________

You've got to give them lives. So you can get bombed twice before dying, and they blink when they just got hit.

_________________

thats prob not such a good idea Rory. I've only ever played bomberman Once (was on the Super Nintendo at my schools fair) and if your alert its hard to get hit (unless someone traps you with bombs).

I agree with Rory. It'd be much better. I've not played the game, but being one hit sucks. Lol.

The rounds are meant to be short. Right now, there are no destroyable walls so there's no strategy involved. It's just run around and bomb. Once they're added in, you won't be able to just run around the map and hit ctrl, you'll actually have to think(a little). I don't think that lives would work well for this game. Maybe it would be better to have like 3 lives per match, and once you die you lose a life and you don't come back in until the next round. If you lose all of your lives, you're out for the rest of the match.

_________________

You could also make like a Arcade mode, when you can co-op with your friends to kill NPCs and find the portal under the destroyables like in the SNES games.

_________________

Eh. It's your game.

XD Not really, its mostly Hudson's game.

Also, why wouldn't lives fit in a bomberman game, when they have it in every game.
Don't tell me its cause its online. Because the original Bomberman Online game has lives too.

Ideas for you

Deathmatch which HAS lives

Team Deathmatch which has score,
first team to hit 20 wins. Blue/Red team

BombForGold, 20 kills FTW ends the match
each bomb on another player gives you gold
-edit\\ the longer it takes for you to kill the less gold there is.

Item shop, gloves, costumes, helmets, glasses
bomb boosters

_________________

Yeah we were thinking of doing that.

I never said we shouldn't have lives. I just said that the lives should work differently.

Meh, do w/e you want.

i'm thinking ye olde bomberman multiplayer where it was last one standing in a 2 minute battle to the death.

Last 30 seconds the playing field shrinks too, or something. Don't remember exact times.

Yeah, blocks start to appear around the arena until only the center was left, and if you were on those which appeared, you died. Also, there was like a limit of time in that small box afterwards, where if theres more than one person left, everyone loses.

Yeah all of these ideas I've thought of. I love playing Super Bomberman 5 for the SNES...I play for hours.
