Yeah I know, but not everyone I know who has a Saturn is willing to rip open their Saturn to tape a switch, then try for hours to master perfect timing while damaging one of their non-copied games. :/ Thank goodness I had a copy of College Slam nearby before I had my modchip. That game was rubbish waiting to be put to use.
Yeah I know. :/ Just I'm not a big fan of the Dreamcast to tell you the truth. (Everyone GASP!!) I considered it, but seeing how durable they really are, I opted for the more reliable system.
...mind you, the cartridge port isn't the most reliable on the Saturn either... eh... oh well... the Saturn controller is better though in my opinion.
Oh goodness, who
isn't aware of my cat obsession?
But you caught me. I forget if I told you that one story I had a while back (only Chizzles and snowcat would know of it if they kept up with stuff I wrote elsewhere) that was all post apocolyptic and stuff with those zombie cat soldier experiments, it was originally a game idea that I just tweaked the hell out of not too long ago and made it seem like it would be quite the game (instead of changing it to the series of movies I wanted to animate). I was thinking about that to the Saturn/Jaguar, but then again I've been working on the idea for a good five to six years now developing on it that I don't know whether or not I want to go retail on a more modern machine, or try to start a small cult following on an older console... or both! (Mind you, with copyright and all that junk, and contracts, I'd have to self publish for PC if I did that because you know how Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony are) I do like the porting to Saturn bit though, since I'd love to see my favourite idea on my favourite console.
Aside from that, the rest of my ideas I wanted to homebrew... actually don't involve many cats at all! Surprise surprise!! (Well... except for my All Cat fighting game idea
Let's Meow Hard!!...)
My first one I know I'd want to do right off the bat is my Princess Man idea. Here... let me dig up some old concept art.
i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu242/SirMeow/PrincessMan/princessman0000.jpgThat's the main protagonist, Princess Man and his magical flying dog! His sword can turn into different weapons and he has to fight the evil Dictatorship Bicycle Man and his Evil Army! (Which I'll get to in a second)
Basically, in the land Princess Man lives in, every in the kingdom is confused fashionably. The men wear women's clothing and the women wear men's clothing. Are they gay? Nope! Everyone is perfectly straight! However, one bicycle is tired of being ridden, so he decides to try to rule the world!!
So Princess Man and his sister, Knight Woman... yeah she looks like this:
i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu242/SirMeow/PrincessMan/princessman0001.pngShe has facial hair.
Anyway, the two (well... if you play Two Player Mode) have to take on the Evil Army! Meet the main antagonist himself!
i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu242/SirMeow/PrincessMan/princessman0002.jpgOH NO!!
By the way, in case you were wondering why all this is drawn on paper, this is the reason I failed classes in highschool - to work on this game instead of doing my work.
The Evil Bicycle is not alone!! Meet his fearful army of minions...
Retarded Frog Man
Ghostly Basketball Man
Long Leg Renegade Beaver Man
Feman
Gangsta Man
Intellectual Nerd Perverted Self Groping Traveling Man
Cheese Man
and RACECAR!!
i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu242/SirMeow/PrincessMan/princessman0003.jpgi652.photobucket.com/albums/uu242/SirMeow/PrincessMan/princessman0004.jpgBasically, like MegaMan, you gotta get each one's weapons and use a boss' weakness against them. You can only imagine what kind of crazy weapons you can get from all this and who you have to use them on.
Basically, you fight Racecar first. It's just a kid with a toy car. He runs at you will saying "Mrrrrr BEEP BEEP!" and if he touches you, he falls over and cries. You win! You get his toy car.
Then you take the car and go fight Gangsta Man. The car is useless and does no damage, but if used on Gangsta Man, a real car comes and performs a driveby on him, meaning instant victory. You get his Uzi!
The Uzi cannot aim straight. It just shoots in random directions and ALWAYS away from enemies. (Almost impossible to hit unless you lead an enemy) The secret as to why gangsters can't aim is revealed! You have to go to Ghostly Basketball Man's level with this, and he hurts you by shooting three pointers into a net. You gotta fire just as he throws the ball and the loud noise will throw off his aim. When he misses the net, you can then damage him for a small period of time as he recovers from the loud noise.
Then you get his Basketball. You go to Feman's level (another way to say Female) and you draw out the Basketball. She has a phobia to basketballs so she runs away and cries. You get her high heels!
With the high heels, you can now fight Long Leg Renegade Beaver Man who stands super tall with an extendable leg as seen here in this mock screenshot:
i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu242/SirMeow/PrincessMan/princessman0005.pngJump on his head with the shoes to win. You get his grenade!
Use the grenade on Retarded Frog Man and he'll eat it and explode. You'll get the frog's tongue. Careful not to get eaten by him! (Instant death)
Now you fight the nerd guy with a long name. His briefcase has a ton of weapons in it (and his puffer). Dodge, then while he inhales on the puffer use the tongue to pull the puffer out of his grip. Now he'll die from lack of air. From him, you get a cheese grader.
The cheese grader, like the racecar, does no damage. You just put it in front of you and move it up and down and enemies beat you up. However, Cheese Man will literally cheese you to death. He rolls a big ball of cheese in front of him at you. If he hits you once, he constantly hits until you die as the ball keeps rolling. Even if you hit him first. You have to hold out the cheese grader and have him run into it. When he dies, you now get his cheese ball!
Now on the last boss, Dictatorship Bicycle Man, you gotta beat him up enough until he dazes out temporarily. (The cheese ball really helps here) His health will not drop. Instead that's when you gotta jump on him and drive him through an obstacle course. The better the tricks you do, the more damage you do to him, especially if you wipe out! Repeat while people cheer you on in the background until he's dead.
But he can fight back! Careful!! He can zoom around and change gears on you mid-riding!!
What ya guys think? Anyone up for it? I could even do all the artwork and music! I just need a programmer.
Fun Fact: This game idea actually generated fan art from other people. I'm not even kidding!Oh yeah, my other ideas... uh... well I did want to do two exclusive homebrews as prequels to an RPG series I've been working on for some number of years, just not RPG genre'd. Basically it takes place in a fantasy world, and like any other RPG with a fantasy world, you got different races. Now the catch is... each race has to make up a football team! (non-American football. The real stuff)
RPG SOCCER!!
Imagine some Mode 7 for the field with fantasy RPG paper 2D sprites, running around in armor kicking around a ball while slashing each other with swords and axes and stuff, or shooting magic and maybe even manipulating the ball. Leveling up? Heck yea! Even better? RANDOM ENCOUNTERS!! Birds, dragons, demons, and other monsters drop in the field and rowdy fans who don't like the outcome will run out into the field and try to change the tidings of the game themselves by killing off your team mates! Slash em and gain EXP!
My other idea is just an arcade style sidescroller involving some monsters trying to save one of their own villages from being turned into food for another race. Sidescroller hack and slash.
And one last idea I want to throw out there: I want to work on a game called !!! for both the PC and for one console (Saturn perhaps? Maybe even Wii-Ware). Basically it stars these two living cherry bombs with eyes, feet and hands, and some mechanical forest they live in are being invaded by weird looking creatures (rectangles with a gap and eyes that breathe fire?) that set the forest on fire. The goal is to have them escape safely in a platformer kind of gameplay. If their fuses get set on fire, they have the duration that it takes for them to explode to find water to put it out. Scissors that run around could cut the fuse shorter even! Even if you put the fire out, the fuse stays the same length, gaining a little back after each round. It'd be arcade style meant to eat credits. Your in game avatars are left defenseless, having to run and even save other bomb guys. Nasty fires also make the fuse burn quicker. Two player simultaneous action.
And last but not least, a port of Rain Hell.
So there ya go. A few ideas I wanted to do. If anyone is interested, let me know!
