Everybody gangsta till the adult actress starts whippin.
Is the flying ufo immune to legos? I mean he flys... also it shoud be able to fly over lava... that would just be a Little nice Detail...
The UFO can fly over lava, but is not immune to legos. It could be a fun detail, but could also be irritating.
Nice work as always
I have some suggestions:
1)Maybe show health bars on the player and enemies only when they get hit and then make it fade away
2)I think the alien blood splash shouldn't be red cause he's an alien maybe purple or green...
3) For the heart shape attack I think it shoud follow Billy for a while when it's fired, to show love
4)Final suggestions: I think doing a movies themed level without referencing or parodying actual movies is a wasted opportunity, take a look at Bro Force they parodied the entire action movies characters, maybe you could do that it would give it a very nice touch
Thanks for the feedback, Abidoune Mohamed!
Did not expect that as a new enemy, but I'm for it xD Good work! I like that the clapper is now faster, and the new alien ship animation makes it more clear!
Haha I'm glad you like our new enemy! xD
Haha yeah! Definitely didn't expect that! xD
Awesome! this game's really comin along
Thank you, Sam Hogan!
Sam Hogan? Okay this is great.
I saw all your videos to your current project "Billy's Nightmare" and I got really creative about that.
First of all I would assume the game should be called in plural becaus it looks like many nightmares.
Because I am a game programmer I got really into your project. And by the way you talking and showing the progress I can pretty good understand your feelings. Because you're asking for some ideas I got plenty by just watching every single video of yours:
It would be cool, by jumping in the bed choosing the level with theme pics, titles and numbers. And a little explanation or something like that. What about gold teeth? They could be worth 10 or 100 teeth. Achievements would be cool. After finishing the pool lever you get "Wet Dreams". The room for the Tooth Fairy is way to big. I should be smaller and more cozy. The Easter Bunny should be pink or green or purple. In Billy's room the tricycle should change in color for every costume. For the pirate it could be brown with a little flag. For the princess costume Billy rides a pink stickhorse with a horn. Etc.
In the tutorial Ol' Sandy (sandman) is flying behind doors while returning back to the boss. The janitor should wear a blue overall. At the movie set, the tied up kid should be Billy and he should be moving. The dinosaur costume looks like a blue frog. And you should definitely do something with the closet in Billy's room.
COSTUMES:
soldier, soccer or basketball player, mobster, knight, dragon, native chief, chef cook, black masked Zorro, wizard/magician, engine driver (for dash, he could use his train engine)
ABILITIES & WEAPONS:
pirate canon, fast katana sword, knights sword and shield, healing good fairy, bow and arrow, long loading heavy shot, best friend Teddy, skipping rope whip, exploding or man eating bunny
LOCATIONS (ENEMIES):
⚫ Dentist/Hospital (fake teeth, giant tooth, nurses, doctors, pills, syringes, thick people with IV bags)
⚫ Grandma's Home/Nursing Home (cats, fake teeth, bedpan, creepy dolls, old people with walkers)
⚫ Supermarket/Mall (mean kids from school, strangers, creepy guys in trenchcoats, dogs, squirrels, mall cops, store detectives)
⚫ Cellar + Basement (spiders, snakes, birds, moths, boilers, old scary stuff; the level could have a lot less ground flooring and more holes, and wooden planks and old couches to get to the other side, a lot of flying and none moving enemies could be the deal)
⚫ Circus (clowns, lions, tigers, elephants, lamas, circus director, magicians, acrobats, guys on stilts, jugglers)
⚫ Indoor Pool/Sports Field (coach, cheerleaders summoning sportsguys, half naked fat ladys, lifeguards, weird kid peeing into water, baseballers, basketballers)
⚫ Locker Rooms/Showers (the typical "I'm naked!" dream, just underwear, no custom or powers, just a watergun and mean boys and girls who want to peek at you)
⚫ School Performance/Talent Show/Theater (step dancing girls, band kids with instruments, terrible singing kids, wizarding kids, acting kids, awkward teachers and parents, principal)
⚫ Graveyard/Cemetery (zombies, owls, pigeons, ghosts, living statues, wicked trees, frogs/toads, snails/slugs, skeletons, keepers, gardeners, grandma)
⚫ Prom (dancers, couples, heartbreakers, puberty)
⚫ The Final Boss Level: Home (it's dark, you can barely see and the evil mares and albs don't hide there real faces anymore, Boogeyman is talking to you and shows you your greatest fear: the mean side of your parents, siblings and pets; your older brother is always falling you around to one hit you, but at the end after defeating Boogeyman he reveals he is just you as an adult and tells you that your greatest fear is growing up, but suddenly Ol' Sandy appears and beheading Boogey for his bullsh*t)
Wow thanks for all the feedback, Percy James Coobs! :D
The idea of the new enemy is so good! Great devlog, I can't believe we've been through 30.
Thank you, Magic Cyborg!
It's all in the details, that sprite update on the ufo makes a huge difference!
Thank you, Tantan!
Loving the progress so far! Can't wait to see more!
Thank you, Skie Squiggles!
Looks great, I love the changes you made for the clipboard, now reloading is way more dangerous.
Suggestion: MORE ROBOTS - maybe a sci-fi room? Would be cool and a boss for that room would be easy to think of.
Thanks for the suggestion, Zotronas! What kind of robots did you have in mind?
@@JonasBroman I was thinking terminator style robots, the ones who would want to take over the world. Those could shoot homing missiles.
I also thought it would be cool if there were massive robots who would look like Iron Man's "Hulk killer" from "Avengers: age of ultron". These could stand in a T-pose before firing and then shoot a lot of bullets out. He would be used for zoning to make the other robots harder.
Suggestion:A robot that grapples Billy with extendable arms.
Thanks for the suggestion, Mr Lee!
A cool enemy you could add would be a trex that would chase after you and try to bite you. It would be a new type of enemy, considering its a melee enemy which is big and kinda tough. Or you could add a spider which would come down from the ceiling and try to pick you up. It wouldn't kill you, but it will either give a poison effect, or maybe stun you. Both of these types of enemies I feel are needed. Considering most enemy's just shoot at you. Otherwise, Great game!
Thanks for the suggestions, Purple!
amazing devlog, just positive changes and nice additions
Thanks, lorde ventos. I'm glad you like it!
...did the UFO just bleed? Lol
It's a default setting for all enemies, but it can easily be changed to something else.
@@JonasBroman yeah that's what I figured, still funny as it exist currently tho :)
As always, I love it! :D
Thank you, Thorn Duck! :D
I have another suggestion,a jellyfish that shoots electricity.
Thanks for the suggestion, Mr. Lee!
Lol this game is insane! Very unique. Great work!
Thank you, Indie Progress! :)
Looking good! are you guys planning on adding more costumes with this level?
Thanks! We will add more outfits and abilities when we are finished with all levels and enemies.
After you beat the school level youl would get graturated billy i know hes too young but it would be funny
He's atack is trowing a hat like boomerang
Special atack he trhows he trophies or somthing else evryvere
Maunt is the toewer were he does the spheach ant and small whelles
i'd love to see some outfits only unlockable trought certain events or actions
Thanks for the suggestion, Daniels Krievs! We will add new outfits when we are finished with the levels and enemies.
A enemy what spawns other enemys
Thanks for the suggestion, do you have an enemy in mind?
@@JonasBroman yes I do its a shark mele but out of hes mouth come fish what shot one bubble or more
Looks great! I wanna try making a topdown shooter after I finish my 2d platformer~
Thank you, Neat Games!
I like the changes ! keep it up :)
Thank you, ThePoinball! :)
ThePointball? Another devlog youtuber? How great!
You should add easter eggs in the movie studio
What kind of easter eggs do you have in mind?
I think relying only on audio was a great idea. In GOW one of the valkyrie shouts "valhalla" and jumps for her finisher move; you have to listen carefully.
Yeah, but people metioned playing with their sound of and that some people migh have hearing disabilities.
Bennjamin Scala deaf mode...
I have an idea. Make a small Easter egg that makes the knights horse turn into an unicorn instead of an evil horse.
Haha sounds fun!
i like everything about new update
Thank you, YSB_Djolex!
why does the ufo spawn blood when you shoot it???
It's a default setting for all enemies, but it can easily be changed to something else.
Hy jonas i want to say your game is awesome. I recentli discovered your devlog series and seen it. I thought that this looks quite fun. I started playing and it really felt like a rougelike. Desing is sweet and the items are fun to use. The boss isn't easy, but when you beat him it's a great feeling. I've been playing rouglikes for three years and i am looking forward to your final project. But it bugs me something. When you fire a weapon shot or an item,everithing has a tiny cooldowno. Maybe it's just me, but it feels like it drives a little bit away from the action paced combat. In conclusion, great game, can0t wait to see more stuff.
Thanks for the feedback, Dominik Orehoci! The cooldown is necessary because some attacks takes a few frames to activate/spawn. So it wouldn't work if you could use other attacks at the same time.
@@JonasBroman Also i think you should add more tho the looks of the entrance cause it has black areas which is weird, but in school it's normal beacase it has walls.Maybe a little more astetics to the entrance of the school.
3:05 that sounds very similar to Terraria's female hit sound. Is that what it is?
Not intentionally at least. The sound effects are from a sound site online.
@@JonasBroman Ah I see. It's a nice sound though so I would keep it.
The lady enemy neds a secnd arm becose the hand is flying
It's easier to animate the whip attack in all angles this way. We have done it this way with a lot of enemies and their arms.
@@JonasBroman ok
I have a idea for a new level or something so it’s where ur sister loves like unicorns and u can fight deadly unicorns with lasers out of there horns or something
Thanks for the suggestions. Unicorns sounds like a fun idea!
I have a enemy idea the tech he would use maybe special fx as a attack (like if u want this in the game )
Thanks for the suggestion, Donut man! What kind of sfx would he use?
@@JonasBroman May be like lightning or fire u know special fx
@@JonasBromanalso please add this in the game
@@JonasBroman also for the next area I was thinking arcade billy went to a arcade and he saw some kids playing horror games
Hi dude this game is awesome and I’ve been playing it I’ve been stuck on the first level (the school) for 2 days why is it so hard??
Thank you for playing our game, Shadow Turtle12! Remember to dive roll to avoid taking damage, use your abilities as often as possible and keep practicing :)
is the adult actress not having the rest of the arm intentional?
It's easier to animate the whip attack in all angles this way. We have done it this way with a lot of enemies an their arms.
3:05 is this the terraria sound?
Hmm no idea. We get our sound effects from a site online.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the clapper board and the book being exactly the same. You should have some consistency in your game. Not everything needs to be brand new and shiny.
Thanks for the feedback, android272!
i think that with the add of the movie director and the lady the game has lost his charm a bit cause ppl who will enter the game without seeing the devlogs just gonna think you put random staff and the director is really generic and it doesnt stand a chance against bosses like the nurse or the lunch lady (the janitor is really really cool too)
and also i feel like it will be super cool if some enemies will lunch different kind of projectile for example the ufo can do like a ufo picking up something animation and then lunch a bunch of scared cows that will explode
and for the movie director you should add special affect abilities that will do crazy staff like sharks from the ground or some other things like alien bursting through the director chest and then an alien grow out of that and attack you but then you realize its a custom of the director god it can be soo coollllll
Thanks for the feedback, yonatanagar!
Let's just say the actress is an.. interesting idea
Indeed!
About the new enemy I canonly say, that you're sexist. I'm not sorry.
Co
Grep
wtf
I think she should have a bit more clothing on.
Thanks for the feedback, LYNX!
Now the game has changed from being similar to Enter the Gungeon and is instead a GTA clone.
Why GTA?
@@JonasBroman it's all about killing hookers now XD
