I havent updated the game in a while since i currently have a very hectic schedule, however I was pleased that a couple of you wanted to try the game out so I fixed the link for you guys... Remember this is not a finished game, only the first level... ENJOY


UPDATED!!! 7-6-2007 FIRST LEVEL FINISHED!!! MUSIC AND ALL SOUND EFFECTS ADDED!!!

DOWNLOAD

SCREENSHOT

http://www.4shared.com/file/19342970/91457695/Untitled.html

Here is the control scheme:

MOVE: NiGHTS follows the mouse pointer, and its distance has a direct effect on NiGHTS' speed

ATTACK: Mouse scroll wheel down

INCREASE TOP SPEED: Hold mouse right button

ACROBATICS: Mouse left button (there are only 3 acrobatics so far)

As in the original game, paralooping kills enemies and attracts chips that are within the paraloop. Also, paralooping certain chips will uncover a secret powerup. If contact with an enemy is made, NiGHTS will lose all his stars and the points associated with the stars. If NiGHTS has no stars when the enemy is contacted, then NiGHTS will have to restart the level.

ENJOY AND PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS

WOW! This is some impressive stuff!! Its a little tricky for me to get the hang of at the moment, but its really well made and what you've done with the sprites is amazing! Good job so far! <_<

I'm downloading it now. It sounds really cool, and good ^_^! Can't wait to try it ^-^! I'll write a lil' review/critique once it's done.

Edit: This is really good ^_^! The game is very fun so far <_<! Although, I didn't get too far ;-;, because I kept on loosing by running into the minions XP. Can't wait to see more (and play more, for that matter XD).

Do you guys have any suggestions??? Also, I need someone to write a story for the game as thats not really my main concern. Again, no kids involved in the story, if anyone wants to volunteer then go ahead and let me know

I don't think that two topics are needed for this, I'll try and draw attention to the other for you.

This is pretty cool! I'll spend some more time playing it and come back to this.. but for now:

I'm somewhat partial to there being some sort of special effect when doing paraloops... at first, I wasn't sure that I was doing them right, but once they deflected those pesky minions, well..

Im thinking you mean that a paraloop should trigger some sort of particle effect right??? If yes, Im trying to do that but havent been able to accomplish it. When I do figure it our it will definitively be in the game.

Sounds good! I can't imagine programming something like this is really an easy task <_<;

I don't have any suggestions atm. BUT, I will tell you if I get any good ideas to improve it.

Also, I'll be willing to help create a story for it. Go to my dA Gallery for some samples of me writings <_<!:

I suggest reading Alternative and PARANOiA.

hopefully im not breaking any rules by giving links to other sites but here goes:

www.yoyogames.com/make


i suggest you download the tutorials as they are great learning tools. you might also want to download/buy the software's official book "the game makers apprentice"

Thanx a lot man, I really appreciate it... However, I need suggestions/opinions/criticisms in order to make the game better. Also, although I currently have all the music and some sound effects, i would appreciate if anyone that has any NiGHTS into Dreams sound effects and is willing to share them with me for the game.

I also posted the game in the official gamemaker forum but no one has replied to it either (and i have a feeling its because none of the members knows that NID even exists) because, and according to my unbiased opinion, its vastly superior to any of their creations.

My my my... Color me impressed. I gave it a play, and I love what I see. This has serious potential, keep up the good work! My only complaint is that the mouse controls feel a little awkward, and making sharp turns seems fairly difficult, such as I'd have minions trailing behind me, and trying to make a quick turn and catch them in a paraloop isn't exactly doable. Otherwise, I give this a 10/10! Can't wait to see more.

Not a bit. I enjoy a good challenge. >:3 Just need to change the old plan of attack around. Anyway, don't let me stop you, keep going with the project.

If anyone has any NiGHTS into Dreams ingame sounds I would appreciate it if they could email them to me at makaveddie81@yahoo.com

I especially need the following sounds:

NiGHTS dash sound
Sound made when Nightmaren is killed
Sound made when NiGHTS goes through rings
Sound made when NiGHTS acquires a pearl/star

Heh, this is so cool! I applaud you, sir. But I think it'd be a lot more natural if left click was drill, and keyboard buttons did tricks. It's practically killing this computer though. I'll see if I can help you out with the sfx..

What are your computer specs??? I have tested it on various computers and it runs like a charm, although it takes a while to load

@viperxmns
What keys would be approriate for tricks? Does it run slow on your computer? What are your specs?

I forgot to check (it's my work computer).. it's kinda slow in general, and a few years old. I doubt it's all that high tech. As for tricks, since they're originally just done with a left and right button, maybe simply the left and right keys, or Z ("L" tricks) and X ("R" tricks) perhaps.. As far as varying the tricks, I'm not sure how deep you can program the controls- if possible, maybe as you face different directions and tap the keys, the tricks will change?

The game will definitively run slow on old computers, however it ran perfectly on my girlfriends amd athlon xp 2000. Try it on a decent computer to get the full effect of the game. I dont think i can program the trick system, its too complicated :P. The way I did it is I just let the computer decide which trick NiGHTS will perform whenever you press the trick button. I will put in all the tricks from the original game though, I just need the time to rip the animations from the original game. I chose to use the scroll wheel to attack because spinning the wheel is very similar to NiGHTS spinning drill. I will try your suggestion though.

I do have all the sounds for the game, theyre in the version you just downloaded.

@ infractus

i uploaded a new exe see if it works now

Unless someone else has it still they can link a new download to it...

Thanks
My opinion of the game is that its great for a fan game.
One thing I can say it when you get use to the controls it becomes fairly easy and there appears to be a lot of open space that could be used up still. But other than those few minor things the game was great.

I am planning on putting more stuff in, remember this is the first level so it should be fairly easy because the difficulty will increase as the game progresses. Any suggestions???
