DEVKIT: To be done sometime...
So I thought making an IWBTG fangame based around raocow would be an awesome project for the talkhaus to do. Ya know, since they like making crazy things and sometimes go overboard with the difficulty (No offense).
I'll take some precautions to avoid this becoming another one of a couple thousand (Apparently, that's not hyperbole) trash fangames.
- Variety of graphics instead of bland, overused tilesets used in iwbtg games.
- Quality filter: Levels are judged. A few people can evaluate levels. No screens of nothing but spike mazes.
- Speaking of which, It would be good to have a variety of objects/mechanics too keep the game fresh.
- Not super ridiculous hard. Especially with the way the game is set up, without caution it can become another I Wanna See You Suffer. Tip: When you test a level, how hard it feels to you will be much harder for a first time player. The difficulty should be at a level where raocow won't have a hard time. No rooms where he will spend hours trying to get past it. I stress this point because it's important.
Basically, we should make it feel unique, like how I wanna be the boshy kinda has its own feel. Or, hell, like I wanna be the guy when it first came to the internet. I'll leave the general game structure here vague so you all can make crazy, weird and cool suggestions. Don't feel limited to what's in the engine right now; if you have an awesome idea for an obstacle/enemy, request it! Or make it yourself if you can.
THINGS YOU SHOULD POST IDEAS ABOUT:
-More World/level themes (We can probably have a few more)
-Story details (I think we may have settled on a story idea, but if you have suggestions, post them)
-Graphics (Tilesets, player graphics, overall art style)
-Gimmicks/Obstacles/enemies suggestions
-Powerups/player abilities
The game will have a big hub divided into worlds. Each world has warps, which are composed of a handful of screens (Nothing that drags on forever- I might not suggest a screen quantity since it may stifle ideas). A warp is based off of a single theme, like a game raocow played.
This will show world themes/claimed screens
+ games following a plus are extra ideas you could reference for that level.
Added subarea/sublevel themes to levels

Music claims (Make a custom song, remix, or just say what songs you want there):
Don't feel limited to using mechanics from those specific areas- take ideas from the rest of the respective game or and in something random for lulz!
