Rotaretilbo

I am pleased to introduce the newest member of our motley crew.
Sir Rebuga(aka Rotaretilbo) shall be the official Head Artist. Most of you know him, though, from HWF.
I have seen many of his works before, including this:


He has made that by hand on MSPaint. I have seen other works as good as this, so I have asked him if he would come and help us with our work.
Spriting is not his forte, so he will be making backgrounds and environments for our levels.

Hello everyone

Hello Rot. I think we need you on Halo:Attack, as someone needs to create the backgrounds. Check the thread to see what needs to be done. Also, good luck on your MMOFPS

backround i can do onm paint
i did a halo backround once it was not really bad

Then why dont you make one for halo attack(if its not good it wont be used)? We can have a competition between you and Rot

No, you dont wanna go up against Rot's godlike powers.
Im serious, that bloodgulch doesnt do him justice.

Onyx, you think you can Draw up some Halo inspired Mario levels for SHB?

What kind of backgrounds to you need?

Ugh, its hard to describe.
If you go to Halo: Attack>Halo: Attack(i believe it's called) and read seath's long-ass description, you will know. I think we want one as a snowy battlefeld, with bases on each side. The battle field should have rocks and stuff, though that should be added later, so people can walk 'Behind' them.

So like do an actual and a background like I did for Blood Gulch? I can base it on Sidewinder or something...

That would be great, but do you know how this game is gonna work?
You dont control any characters, you simply click on enemies like in Demonic.

Think about the HW trailer when creating the background image.

On SHB, I did make a MC that was completly controlable but there was a bug in the animation(when ever you held down the key responsible for the running action and its animation, it would loop the first part of the animation since it was using the action over and over again while you held down the key).

Use:
Key Press>Change Animation to(whatever the animation is for running)
Key Release>Change Animation to(MC facing that direction)

Do you have an example map that I could look at to get the idea?

here is a sample map.

http://www.mediafire.com/?1tjhm1xpybe

It only shows the covenant third of the map, but you should get the idea.
I will make the snow myself though. The map is divided into three, equally sized sections remember.

The human Base should look like highground but covered in snow(gate facing left, no SAM site in hte back)

I dont hink you understood what I ment Avid, when ever you held down the key to run it kept restaring the running animation instead of playing it through

Oh sorry/
I was thinking "Man, if he doesnt know something this simple, he isnt very good at programming "
XD

I still don't think I fully understand the game. Is this going to be a sidescrolling shooter? If so, then I'll begin work on the map.

I told you to just go look at the thread!
Jeez

Well I have an idea that would make it a little different han storm the house. It would take more work but would probably be funner in the end

Setting-
large width
short heigth
snowy
cloudy
scrollable map

On the left side of the map there would be a covenant structure(similar to the one seen in the HW trailer). Attacks would come in waves. When an attack started a short alarm would be sounded.

On the right side of the map would be your base. It would come with a number of upgrades. Its destruction means you will have lost the game.

Waves will be launched on a timed basis.

In between waves there will be a short buy period.

We need a couple spriters for sprites. Sprites needed(made on paint)-
Cyan/teal grunt w/fuel rod cannon
Red grunt with needler
Zealot with sword(no animation)
Elites-
minor
major
Ranger
Spec Ops(active camo)
Brute w/spikers
Brute w/Bruteshot
Hunter
-------these dont need animations(only one sprite each)
Banshee
Phantom
Wraith
Elite on ghost
Brute on Ghost
Marines-
w/rocket launcher
w/BR
w/Sniper rifle

Points will be awarded for killing enemies. These are used for upgrades
Upgrades-
Scope-increases shooting distance(how far untill you can start hitting enemies
comes in 2x, 4x

Warthog-provides AA fire
Missle warthog-provides extra AA fire
Gauss hog- provides AT ground fire

Bunker- Doubles base HP.
minigun-a minigun is placed in the bunker, provides anti infantry ground fire
50. cal- on top of bunker, extra anti infantry fire

trench-allows you too add infantry defenders
Sniper marine- 1 shot kills all infantry. Slow firing time
BR Marine- provides extra anti infantry fire
Rocket Marine- Provides anti ground vehicle support

Mortar- Provides close range artillery support
Artillery Battery- Provides long range artillery bombardment

There would be a total of 50 waves before the game ends by the planet getting glassed

we also need someone to create the sounds of all the vehicles and weapons listed above, as well as some music(maybe halo music) and an alarm going off(like the one on the pillar of autumn)

What do you guys think?

That is what the game is gonna be like.^^^
It will be more like Demonic than Storm the House, though.

I played that Demonic game and now understand how this will work. The map will be like that of a sidescrolling shooter, but the base needs to be more complex.

I never played demonic

Avid, I was thinking and now I need two more sprites, one of a grunt running away, and one of an elite picking up that grunt and tossing it aside(like in the another day at the beach video on the halo 2 map pack)

that was funny
but yea it wasent that good but it wasent that bad either
(never played demonic)

I dont make these sprite
so i'll have to see what i can do about that.
