Alcohol + morning after = silly DT mods

I have no idea why, but at about 5pm on any day that I am hugely hungover I get an incredibly desire to make a stupid game.  This is usually a pretty bad idea, as being hugely hungover is exactly the state in which it is very hard to program.  And because I know that I tend to try to do the game-creation method I find easiest – a Determinance mod.

I don’t usually get that far before my hangover gets the better of me and I give up.  Two weeks ago the idea was Determinance RPG (BRILLIANT IDEA) but I didn’t get anywhere.  Last week was not in fact a DT mod but a weird Lunar Lander game which actually did get quite far.

This week ladies and gentlemen, inspired by playing Double Dragon Advance, I decided to make Determinance Brawler.

I’ve got as far as being able to, er, punch (by pressing Numpad 5), and if you hit someone they get damaged and do a cool pain pose.  I’ve been put off slightly by a collision problem I need to solve (if neither player is moving collision goes quite wrong), but I may come back and add, um, kicking and blocking.

I probably won’t, but I might.

Oh, and what’s good is that this is all done from script – showing the uber-modability of Determinance.

    Oh dang, I forgot that this blog doesn’t like “smaller than” symbol, which is a fallen v.
    I meant to say:
    “:D Double Dragons! (Insert heart symbol)
    Can’t wait for this!” or something.

    The lunar lander game is amazing.

    My esteemed colleague’s 1 hour music track for the Lunar Lander game is most certainly amazing.
