2D Ninja Platform Game

[politicaltruth42]

this is so bad ass that grapple hook is intense

[MrKmose]

Very nice, but I hate to break it to you that is not a ninja that's a samurai.

[AdamX21198]

Dude, you should make a metroid clone.

[Dechorus]

oh man, the grappling hook is flipping sweet. good work on this

[skatejam7]

would look a lot cooler with a walk cycle

[MegaGupka]

stupid question, but how old are you?? :)

[ThePurpleAlien]

@ThatCommenter No. Didn't know about yoyo games. Can you send a link to where you saw it?

[AllPro777]

The character reminds me of Chakan The Forever Man.

[ChromeFXFilms]

Wow,. I can't even start with imagining how you did the rope swinging. GOOD JOB!

[hrsitcom]

how did you handle the 2d graphics? is this made by using IGuiManagers ?

I'm used to make 3d based games with irrlicht-engine..

nice work!

[Z3r0XoL]

that grappling hook is awesome, how does it work?

[trojanfoe]

Excellent character art!

[Jerppa95]

Are you able to use that hook as a weapon like Scorpion? GET OVER HERE!!!

[Terror3659]

Your ninja is a lie. the lie is a samurai.

[paulstroie]

He looks like Samurai Jack :D

[YouKondziu]

woah nice physics. Quite orginal game play looks fun too! Good job!

[Rakiarmas]

O M G !

This looks like a really good ninja game.

Is it done and if so is it still avable to download?

[corphish129]

The ninja needs a running animation, other than that it is perfect.

[AlienScribble]

I loves the chain grappling - and the character posses are pretty deadly. ^-^

[fruitloop33344455555]

can you put sound on this? if you can do so..

[toivio4ever]

its very good. only thing  what is bad is too simple moving

[Pantherhero300]

stupid

[sonicfanatic4949]

I like the animation of the ninja, rather stylish

[redoubt9000]

oh man I'd love to see some tutorials on how you did all of this :)

[JittersInternational]

Very nice game. Props for the grappling hook feature, I'm working on a similar feature in a game im writing in java and so far it's been quite the project to add this in. Hats off to you for implementing that so well.

[VusCZ]

cool but try create it in game maker, i think it will be much easier :)

[cpcreep]

@VusCZ Game maker fails if your trying to make a GOOD game... good games come from hard work, and hours of coding, not creating and dragging and dropping ... Game Maker is for beginners.

[VusCZ]

@cpcreep yes, but in game maker you can create somethijg like this as well and for some games you need scripting as well.

[DashHedgehog]

This game is great! I wish I could do something like this!

[masakatsu22]

can u add a character costumasion and non xbox joystick so its playable on keyboard and a multiplayer mod :D it could be cool and make a link

and sent to me plz

[MikeWhiskyTango]

This is great mate. I'm not a fan of these type of games so i dont really know whats out there but this seems really original and far better than a Mario or Sonic type sprite. Use of Ninja style gear is excellent. What he needs is little aggressive running style when he moves just like in the Ninja flicks. Thats really well done!

[xXKiTheifXx]

I like the grappling hook :P

you should continue this with Scirra Construct,

you'd probably love it.

[evilfrenchguy]

Good sir, I have been a Java programmer for a number of years and that chain swing feature earns you my full respect. If you wouldn't mind sharing, how the hell did you code that!?

[firemario10]

COOL :3

[2ndPortal]

sucks that on game maker dont have a so good physics:(

[tacobellfatcat]

could you show me how to do that chain effect

[RatmanXX]

I thought it's a good engine until I didn't see the grappling hook... It not good...

It's great!

[ZakIsBehindYou]

This is really cool.

I would, however, highly suggest making the background and environment coexist with the character a lot more.

He's minimalistic vector looking, whereas everything else is slightly heightened in detail. For instance the textured dirt and Gaussian-blurred background.

[ZakIsBehindYou]

@ZakIsBehindYou

Sorry, I hadn't seen the newer videos. Dismiss this xD

[attila3453]

Just out of curiosity, how many lines did you write for this?

Because it's cool and I wish I could do something like that ^_^

[ThePurpleAlien]

@attila3453 Thanks. At this point it was about 2500 lines.

[geoffreyefloyd]

@ThePurpleAlien hey I'm having this problem with my wacom tablet working in inkscape...the cursor and the calligraphy pen are always offset. Do you know if there is a way to fix that?



[coninja2007]

@geoffreyefloyd Do you have this problem in other applications? You may just need to calibrate your pen. In windows go to start menu, all programs, wacom tablet and choose properties and find the pen under tools and click calibrate. Under OSX I am unsure on the process of getting to properties, but it shouldn't be too difficult. Maybe System preferences and find wacom from there...

[caxco93]

nice work with the grappling hook

[javagamedev]

Cool game did u make the graphics using GIMP?

[ThePurpleAlien]

I use GIMP to touch up some of the sprites, but I draw all the artwork in Inkscape first and then export to pngs.

[lolinonusos]

Game Maker is easier

[Viscosity86]

@lolinonusos Game Maker is the cheap way out of making games. Use a real language and actually program the engine without using a program to cut the hard stuff out.. I have looked at Game Maker.. Its not really programming to the fullest.

[ultim8p00]

This is very cool. I'm also making a ninja game called Katakijin, but mine focuses purely on combat while your seems like it will have a quite a bit of platforming and exploration going on.

[HillBilly1Gamer]

Cool. I'm working on a ninja game too with a chick lead character. mock up animations for her moves and stuff are on my channel. I will be adding more.

I dig this guys poses. Not sure if the physics on the grapling hook is better than standard animated action based script like bionic commando.

[hanashira]

very nice... Specially the grappling hook... But the "poses" of the character are really cool to... It only misses a walking animation...

[ThePurpleAlien]

Thanks. Check out my other vids, movement animation has been added.

[GuitarHeroRulez321]

'Tis the best 2D game I've seen yet. Epic work.

[gonzo191]

lol yoshimitsu, rikimaru, ryu all in one sweet

[psygnia]

wow! very very cool

[snasebrase]

awesome!

what multimedia library do you use?

allegro, sfml, sdl?

[ThePurpleAlien]

2d graphics and controller input are handled by irrlicht.

[sjomaxins]

No. Comparing to this spider man sucks lolly pop.

[Draoz100]

Man, thats cool as hell. Reminds me of spiderman with those hooks.

[ThePurpleAlien]

Thanks man. I've added some features since this video, like a running animation and a bigger level... will post another vid soon.

[andrei25ni]

yes please post it soon, this looks awesome
