The Bat Sweeper

[PRWeasel]

Lololololol I remember this.

[xLeGeNdFLaReZx]

What place did your game come in the competition?

[BassPounderX]

epic

[Minigun101]

LOL, it's his fault that his somehow still living mother is taken!

[ALdiStudios]

Wow :D

[GinoZump]

the abducted mother always makes me laugh: "nghaaaaaA!"

[the12221]

haha

[Rusty511]

inspirational stuff man, the game looks amazing.

[3kliksphilip]

@Rusty511 Thanks!

[pauliuks50]

omg you look like a bum in this video haha! like button activation

[FlashUser95]

Is it ok if i upload your awesome game to a site?? :)

[3kliksphilip]

@FlashUser95 Which site?

[FlashUser95]

@3kliksphilip I'll try to find a game site so people can rate it :)

[LethalAxis]

dude.

you REALLY need someone to make your sprites

[3kliksphilip]

@LethalAxis Nobody else ever seems to get the job done.

[LethalAxis]

@3kliksphilip ...i can give ya a hand if you want. I am no picaso but my noses dont look like penises :)

[3kliksphilip]

@LethalAxis I always found picaso drew penises everywhere, actually.

Thanks for the offer, though I'm happy doing it myself. As for the graphics in the bat sweeper, his nose was meant to be like that. I wasn't trying to make the protagonist a handsome young prince, he was meant to be a filthy, foul-mouthed rubbish sweeper. With a very long nose (to smell the rubbish)

[GENTRlSTAN]

@3kliksphilip

You can use Source SDK's model viewer for sprites in the background, such as foliage.

[alexmeanberg]

I love the ending...It was so anti-climatic XD

[3kliksphilip]

@alexmeanberg I agree! ...but I can't think of a better one.

[MrEverret]

So the point of this game is to blow and suck on dirty things and animals? Sounds like my kind of game :D

[3kliksphilip]

@MrEverret ...and to save the old woman. Yeah, my sort of thing too.

[MrEverret]

@3kliksphilip <3 we should hang out

[Left4Rage]

I played this game, it was extremely fun!!

[3kliksphilip]

@ClownWithATopHat lol!

[daveoz80]

How do you get the mountain backdrop to stay stationery while the frame scrolls?

[3kliksphilip]

@daveoz80 You could place it on a different layer with a smaller scrolling value. First you'll have to enable viewing multiple LAYERS in the drop down lists at the top, then you select the layer you want to modify, and you should be able to edit its properties, like you do with any other object in the bottom left hand corner of the screen.

[daveoz80]

@3kliksphilip Thanks got it working a treat now, One more question...lol

How do you create the save points?

[3kliksphilip]

@daveoz80 Depends. You need to save it to an external file of some sort, I like to use the array object, which creates an excel spreadsheet-like thing where you can store values in different slots. Be sure to edit its properties and to set 'text' to 'numbers', the number of times I've been caught out by that...

[daveoz80]

Love it, Great original idea! Just started using MF2 im obsessed!

[toonyfatninjas]

also the shadows where not necessary. maybe you could have give the background some more life like have tree branches move slightly. i know you said you had only 3 days to do it but know that it over why not fix these problems.

[toonyfatninjas]

YOUR GAME LOOKS NICE PLAYS WELL BUT YOUR CHARACTERS ARE TO TINY DON'T LOOK LIKE A NORMAL SIZE CHARACTERS. MAYBE IF YOU MAKE THE CHARACTERS A BIT BIGGER. MAYBE ABOUT 1 1/2 SIZE LARGER YEAH I THINK THAT WILL DO THE TRICK.

[3kliksphilip]

@toonyfatninjas There's a trade-off between the size of the characters and the size of the world around them. I'm fine with you thinking they're too small, personally I find it a bit claustrophobic when the player's visibility in all directions is about 20 feet (relative to the players' character)

[MrThebad0nes]

ahh very cool =]

[MrThebad0nes]

What did you use to build this?

[3kliksphilip]

@MrThebad0nes MMF2

[TheJunkman1986]

sell this game on steam :D

i woould buy it :)

[MrAngryTV1]

when you move character. how do make the whole stage following you by going somewhere eles?

[3kliksphilip]

@MrAngryTV1 You mean, scroll the screen? You make the frame larger than the screen size, then you make an event,

ALWAYS

(Go to where the event lines up with Storyboard Controls at the top, right click , choose Scrollings, and from there it should be obvious)

[MrAngryTV1]

@3kliksphilip thanks for the awnser. the other thing.

how do you make the direct show closed before playing the game at 00:9?

because i always make a game trailer or movie first before playing the game. i always to make the button to skip the movie/intro.

[3kliksphilip]

@MrAngryTV1 I don't understand what you're saying.

[3kliksphilip]

@MrAngryTV1 I don't understand what you're saying. Are you asking how to skip the video? Any button should be able to skip it (if not, try spacebar)

[MrAngryTV1]

@3kliksphilip i mean like, wait for the movie to finish then the game comes on. with out touching any buttons to press it

[3kliksphilip]

@MrAngryTV1 Time the movie, and make it automatically go to the next level after a certain period of time.

[supertahi]

Great game!

By the way, could you make a tutorial about weapon rotating with the reticle/sight? Thanks.

[3kliksphilip]

@supertahi Always, position arm at 0,0 to player's body. Always, make arm look towards crosshair.

[tombom7]

did you win this compitition?

[3kliksphilip]

@tombom7 I came third. But it got the best marks for gameplay.

[tombom7]

@3kliksphilip awsome, thanks for makin this game

[moviemaster132]

when I was playing there was a glitch where the bat king got stuck in the window when he was taking the mom away

[3kliksphilip]

@moviemaster132 Yeah, it occasionally does that, not sure why.

[adgeofbionicles]

How long did it take you to make this game?

[3kliksphilip]

@adgeofbionicles I've made a making of on youtube , look at the video responses. It took me about 20 hours, over 3 days.

[fuelofmil0]

stupid trolls.. anyway great vid and game! once again.

[OmgyRed]

Well that was a happy ending (not really)

[mrkanker1]

can i use your textures in my game

[3kliksphilip]

@mrkanker1 Yeah okay

[3kliksphilip]

@mrkanker1 omg wtf I read your comment, then kaspersky popped up screaming that you were trying to give me a virus! WTF omg how dare you do that. Sarcasm aside, you're pretty stupid if you downloaded it and nothing was there, since everybody else has managed okay, and nobody else has got viruses from it. I think that you're in the wrong, stop trying to accuse me of things which are clearly false. I won't have my reputation tarnished by liars like you.

[mrkanker1]

@3kliksphilip

:3

~successful troll

[3kliksphilip]

@mrkanker1 Thanks, but I prefer the phrase 'successful debater'. Now, I suggest you leave this video before you get owned even more.

[3kliksphilip]

@mrkanker1 Oooh, looks like YOU just got trolled again! Thanks for the response, please, add more and my ego will inflate even further :)

[mrkanker1]

the ending made me lawl

[MultiVertice]

@3kliksphilip :O but you played the bat! :P

[3kliksphilip]

@MultiVertice I voiced the old man, Ben Goodger voiced the bat

[Zionoxis]

I think my only thing you should fix is the final bat boss. When he is shooting at you..I think it needs to be changed a little so you can see some animation for him shooting it instead of it appearing from nowhere. Other than that, it is well programmed, and good digital art.

I still need to find out how to do that water effect.

[3kliksphilip]

@Zionoxis Interesting how people pick up on totally pointless and small things like that

[MultiVertice]

Although I still have no idea how a bat would #2 trash, it looks like a fun game. Good job. :D

[3kliksphilip]

@MultiVertice #2 trash ?

[MultiVertice]

@3kliksphilip poo.

[3kliksphilip]

@MultiVertice Well, this talking bat was full of shit.

[waterslak1]

just one thing bothers me: the bat sweeper has no arms in the text/string box

[3kliksphilip]

@waterslak1 Thanks for pointing that out, guess I was just lazy.

[waterslak1]

@3kliksphilip yea you are :P

[3kliksphilip]

@waterslak1 At least I've finished a game.

[waterslak1]

@3kliksphilip true true....

[waterslak1]

i liked the game ;)

[3kliksphilip]

@waterslak1 Thanks :)

[helpimlostwhereami]

"hello children I'm a British person"  stereotypical bitch >:(

[3kliksphilip]

@helpimlostwhereami Hey, everybody involved in this project is British!

[zakoramaproductions]

i downloaded it and cant get to the ledge in the desert at 6:21. how do you do it?

[3kliksphilip]

@zakoramaproductions I show how in this video. Shoot down then to the right, 50-50

[trek361]

Here is ur fam back happy halloween xD

[Finn1million]

Is there anywhere i can get the music to this? It really is brilliant.

[3kliksphilip]

Thanks, it's from an album called 'Audio Crime' which you can find on my website, though it tends to be down at the moment so you're better off just listening to the tracks on my other youtube channel, 'kliksphilip'

[Finn1million]

@3kliksphilip Thanks a lot mate :)

[3kliksphilip]

Thank YOU

[JacobMovies1]

For certain puzzles is Chap 2 Lev 1 I cannot blow with corners. It only pushes me in straight up, straight down, left, or right. Help!

[JacobMovies1]

What I mean by this is the predicament at 6:09.

[3kliksphilip]

It all depends on where yout mouse is, you can make that jump simply by firing to the left.

[RAGEMelon]

youtube partner

[StringofBinary]

i have a question...in tgf, if i make a cursor, like the crosshair, it disables the mouse buttons...so how'd you have a crosshair and have things happen when you click?

[3kliksphilip]

@StringofBinary It doesn't disable it when I make it

[TheRoyalFirebird]

Nice job. From what I saw, it had all the elements of a good storyline...The unlikely hero, the annoying villains, the mum...Odd choice of graphics. Where do you get your inspiration? It's good to see a little variation every now and then.

[3kliksphilip]

@TheRoyalFirebird Everybody attacked my normal graphics style in previous games so I went for a more cartoony, cut-out style. Then I got attacked for that as well.

[fraserWross]

good game. im british too. wen u sed "are you sitting comfortably, good" it reminded me of something i saw on dr who

[DarkSoulX19]

nice,good job :P

i hope in future u will be able to make 3d games :D

[3kliksphilip]

I don't think I'll ever try making 3D. It takes a lot more effort and it won't look as good. There's nothing appealing about a blocky 3D game

[DarkSoulX19]

i hope u good luck to work with a group,this will make it a lot easier and better :P

if u want of course :D

[3kliksphilip]

Damn, I make a video walkthrough of a game and all I get are questions about how I made it on the video itself. It's not relevant to this video.

[kwibjo123456789]

14:03

LOL!

[3kliksphilip]

Thanks for noticing that :P

[kwibjo123456789]

:D

Dead mum...

[canavaro100]

ok, its very cool that u made the water wave and its also cool and i wonder how u did the edge of the cliffs and the grass on the top it must be very hard

[3kliksphilip]

They're just other objects. The grass is an active object.

[Gismean]

how do you make music ?

[3kliksphilip]

FL Studio

[Chokladmunk3910]

LOL!!

[poketeam100]

no i do not wont to hear a story

[3kliksphilip]

Shame, you're missing out

[PivotAznboi]

your the best mapping person guy

[3kliksphilip]

Rather random comments, don't you think?

[PivotAznboi]

yup lol

[TheIronArmy93]

wow this game was suprisingly entertaining, it would be awesome for the XBLA.

[canavaro100]

how do u make the games an .exe file?

[3kliksphilip]

File, build, application

[LiLFLKingpin]

How do you get the game to be fullscreen?

[Snipaaz]

its awesome

[theoneandonlyhut]

I really need your help !!!

i want to make a ring, which is getting flat to the middle, sou can jump in the ring and use it like a ramp, but i haven't any idea how to make this -.-

[deadmonkey62]

[ramlapa]

GREAT GAME! :p)

[liimikas]

i dled and liked it, 5 stars for youre effort, :D

[xelnos21]

Seem like a pedofile in the beggining =D

[IterationSoft]

How do you arrive at C++ or Lua? They're pretty much COMPLETELY different? =)

[NoThInG1337rofl]

Multimedia Fusion 2.

[kirekung95]

haha, the end was nice =)

[Gamelame5]

So are you working on any new games right now? Their a lot of fun to play, and I cant wait to see what you make next.

[AbstractAttack]

It would have been cool if you had cactus's in the desert instead of spikes :D Awesome game philip!

[3kliksphilip]

That would have been a good idea.

[Vlodrak]

roflmao

[jaleis1nsane]

Great game Philip for such a short amount of time, Nice one :)

[phobos001]

Question

How do you get images to behave like particles?

[3kliksphilip]

Bouncy ball, with some added events.

[foehammerz]

Haha, i didn't expect the bat to drop your mother on the spikes :D

[lageholm]

youre awesome at ; Making games,making maps in Source SDK, Making music.. which have gotten better and better. and ofc, Juggling :) 5/5

[DaimConne]

what program do you use when you record your gameplay? :D

[shadowseekr0]

i thought the way the water reacted was pretty cool

[linksword916]

hey if you ever make a game again i have a good crosshair for it

[3kliksphilip]

I just used Multimedia Fusion 2

[RitterDK14]

Wow, great job there.

[Domixnator]

very good...

[nurglekhorne]

you should like go work with jagex on funorb lol

[Vabaduce]

[t0r4g0wn4g3]

Hahaha

[martin518441]

ending wose funny XD

[bravesurf]

this is actually really good !

[opalcombat]

awesome game 5/5 !!

[crossova13]

Great game, I downloaded it + finished D;

[MNC117]

Holy shit. This looks addictive, simple and good.

[SpaceOz08]

lol 12:07 MSN messenger login noise

[WTFTEEHEE]

wow man ..... that was totally cool, make another .... btw your zombie game was gd to :D

[AjorasWill]

Philip this turned out awesome :D

Any chance of Tutorials for this program?

[3kliksphilip]

Yeah, once I have time.

[gamedreamerjjg]

cool i learned a lot from your shooter tuts I'd love to see more

[lauris47]

this is fucking classic . better than mario !

[DaManWitDaPower]

This game is great besides the fact you have to wait so long for your "fart gun" powder to come back :(

[HLshadow]

Batman's worst enemy.

[3kliksphilip]

@HLshadow How did I miss this comment the first time? Well done, it's a great idea for a sequel!

[jihoo134]

whats about that ball in your trousers??

[3kliksphilip]

*2 balls

[jihoo134]

why are they there???

[3kliksphilip]

Where are they meant to be?

[Titi1654]

I'm still surprised of how much you got done in so little time. Makes me feel like I should work harder :P

[3kliksphilip]

I can't do it unless I'm working to a deadline. All of a sudden I start rushing things, yet they still seem to turn out okay- often better- than if I attempt it 'properly'. But yeah, shows how much you can get done in 20 hours if you put your mind to it. If only big computer game makers did the same thing.

[zaabakka]

Played thru it, only used guide at 10:50 high jump thing. It was nice. :)

[haku155]

nice one phil you really should have one :D

[DaimConne]

Really Nice game you got there ;) i wanna play it right now!! ;D 5/5
