Your minigame featured in VLS!

Post by **Falco Girgis** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 6:01 pm

For anybody that is interested, I would like to add unlockable minigames/extras to Viva.

One thing that I hated about the original Samba De Amigo was the lack of unlockables. I beat the damn game. When you beat the most insanely hard part, you don't get a damn thing. You just seem to get a few songs after beating random parts.

An example would be my Particle Demo. DC Particlez is going to be an unlockable "goodie" for when you beat up to a certain point on Challenge mode. If anybody else has any worthy minigames or demos or something, lemme know.

Chainsaw? Chainsaw? Chainsaw..... chainsaw! JS? JS? JS..... JS!

Exactly what I was thinking XD

Maybe one of those games of yours that you don't want to finish, but you don't want to see go to waste?

This should go in the DC Dev forum as a sticky, in case we get an eligible visitor.

Oh, good idea!

Make a minigame where you use your maracas as weapons and hit mormons with them. I'd buy that!

Hmm..... really think I should bust out the chainsaw again? It's been awhile......

I wouldn't say necessarily bust it out. If there isn't motivation, there isn't. You could sort of "round it off" into a demo if you don't want to go all the way into making it a complete game.

You still get publicity for a demo (not to mention the DC Devver badge), and I could put it in VLS...

The idea is to submit made programs =)

Yeah.

I'd rather not have to dedicate more time/subtract from time I could dedicate to the actual game for extras...

That's why I'm going with my Particle demo and other stuff...

Also, it'd be a good way for people to get small demos and other things known. Not many people would probably waste a CD on just a Particle demo. Now that they unlock it, I'm sure they'd be more than willing to try it out and see how badass it actually is...

I didn't mean make the complete game. I meant the demo. I wouldn't think it would be a good idea to put my finished game hidden in viva.... be kinda wierd.

Yeah, a game with one level or some kind of neverending game is what I think of when I think minigame.

Tvspelsfreak, you want maybe any of your 3D demos in there? It's a perfect way to get them seen by the world. Nobody wants to burn a CD for just a demo, but that same demo can be completely different if the user unlocks it.

Exactly. See: shareware.

JSL is the master at making minigames. Contact him for ideas.

Mmm... I like catching the chickens.
