So after completing my first game in 6weeks for uni (to an extent, still lots of bugs)

(Shameless plug, http://www.killer-byte.net )

I plan to make another one, but with some fresh ideas, id prefer to make a shooting game but im also looking into the iphone/android side of things..

What are some of you guys favorite games and why?

What makes it appeal most to you?

what do you think makes a game "fun"?

Immersive, player driven story.

Multiplayer / Co-op

Graphics and audio that isn't necessarily top of the line but well tested.

For mobile games it's pretty much shiny things + addictiveness that gets sales or remakes of classics that can run on slower hardware. I don't play mobile games.

agreed with the mobile games, smooth animation helps a lot with aesthetics, as long as it has an addictive concept, you pile on 200 levels and have a killer game (no pun intended)

take angry birds on the iphone, huge seller and very addictive, yet a hugely simple game as well as having nice smooth gameplay.

i tell you what.

i give you an idea that will make you crap yourself.

art thou ready?

okay.

sidescrolling fighter. so simplistic. so hard to beat. so much fun

think double dragon meets street fighter. in a cartoon 2d environment. think 8bit music. think cutesy cartoon graphics. but think voilence. think easy. yet think nearly IMPOSSIBLE to beat. think no plot at all. if there is to be plot. think an easy yet random one. like some mobster guido stole his 240Z. and he has to fight 10,000 other guidos to get it back.

think three lives.

think wooden crates. baseball bats with nails hammered through them. think broken legs. think knives. think denim jackets with sleeves cut off. think a boss level with a fat black dude wearing a wife beater. think henchmen dieing with four punches.

...but make sure you keep those 16bit cartoon style graphics. but make HEAPS of colours. and shading. so that it still has a hidef modern sheen to it.

uniquety in imitiation. that's what the f*ck i want to see in a game. a game that's SO HARD TO PLAY it makes your hair turn grey.

yet it's so easy to get so friggin far in it. that it's enough to keep you hanging on and loving it.

it needs to be a character that's charming as all hell. someone so quintessential of their own stereotype that you just want to BE him.

FPS.

Current day weapons, no WWII crap and no futuristic laser weapons.

Multiplayer.

Multiplayer.

I prefer to shoot real people that have the potential to rage, as opposed to battling bots.

Think COD4+BC2.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
