STORY AND IDEA:
Sheexy and Faalstar are the coolest dudes in the universe. Shoe and Faal (nicknames) have but one problem; their secret hideout doesn't look cool enough. Their secret hideout has to look cool for when friends come to visit, or enemies pop in. In this game you will help the dynamic duo make with the money and trick out their hideout (word, yo). The game will start off from their hideout, and then by reading newspaper classifieds you'll pick jobs that will get these guys rich.
Jobs will range from the ordinary to the bizzare. Pickup trash, find a stolen bike, rescue Safari Sam from the crazed tree moose and more. After you make some money you can spend it on hundreds of items to customize the hideout. Buy wallpaper, furniture, cars, airplanes, computers, videogames (minigames) and more. Depending on the items you buy you can travel to different levels (via car or airplane) or gain new info on jobs (internet baby).
CHARACTERS:
Sheexy:
He's a crazed Ninja who knows how to dance. MONKEY DANCE!... um, right. He always wears his Golden Ninja armor, and totes around his trusty Shuriken and Umbrella (for when he has to fall slowly). He's also from Texas.
Faalstar:
He's a Samurai dude with a sword. He kills stuff with Sheexy. His sword, passed down through his Canadian family, is probably magical or something, but he doesn't care, he just kills stuff. He won his armor in a call-in radio contest.
Dr. M.D. R.N. (Doctor Monkey Dude Ray Nance:
This is one doctor you don't want to meet. He's a giant monkey, and he's bent on destroying the human race.
Safari Sam:
Wherever there is a rare creature, Safari Sam will be there. Wherever there is a deadly creature, Safari Sam will be in it's mouth. Sheexy and Faal are constantly saving this guy.
Old Man Higgins:
Higgins lives in the old folks home next to Sheexy and Faal's hideout. He doesn't think he is that old and is constantly escaping.
Various people from Seikens:
These are people from a forum I go to, most of the time they will be sending you on missions.
And more to come...
GAMEPLAY:
This game is a platformer where you control two characters: Sheexy and Faal. Both characters have their own abilities, and you can switch control in midgame.
Basic Abilities:
Walking! - No crutches needed!
Jumping! - Acutally it's quite realistic, you can jump further horizontally if you are moving faster.
STANDING STILL! - not as fun as walking!
Sheexy's Abilities:
Double Jump - Jump twice. Go figure.
Shuriken - Smack enemies from afar
Faalstar's Abilities:
Katana Slash - Bash the enemies or break various items
Helicopter Slash - Spin the sword to descend slowly
Other levels will also include Excitibike-esque races (providing you buy the car), Sidescrolling shooters (providing you buy the airplane), Contra-esque shooters, and many mini games.
LEVELS AND MISSIONS:
As of now I'm planning on making at least 6 worlds (Pillbug Cavern, Monkey Beach, Mushroom Woods, Big City, Scientist's Lair and Cyberspace), with 4 levels each. Each level should have at least 2 missions (jobs) in it, so that adds up to about 48 missions. The game will take place in 5 chapters, and each chapter will have around 2 mandatory missions that you must complete before moving along. After chapter 3 the game will split into 4 paths, each with a different ending and main goal. The path you take will depend on what you have bought, what missions you have completed, and... well you will pick it probably.
Other Info
I've got a little tutorial/demo that ya'll can try out:
http://www.seikens.com/sheexy/SheexyPlat/SheexyPlat.zip
Also, all the graphics were made by me, the music is by Destiny (a friend), and the backgrounds really suck in the demo. I tried to make a parallaxing backgroung, but it just isn't worth it in TGF. The game teaches you the controls as you go, so I'm not gonna explain any of that.
Also, I'm probably going to change it so that you can switch characters in midair, Sheexy will use some kinda Ninja skill to throw all this smoke everywhere and then they switch places, and everyone is like, whoa.
I'll make a page on my site devoted to it later, but I'm tired from writing this stuff.
Yeah, and thats it.
