Serial Killer Roguelike (WIP)

[Oggez_Rashas]

Yeah there are already lots of games where you play people who would be considered "serial killers" like Grand Theft Auto or Postal. But lets look on the bright sides. A: Crimson King is basically anonymous so he won't get rage harassment in real life. And B: The more controversy it stirs up, the more people will play it.

Oggez_Rashas, you should visit our General Discussion forums. Its a joy.

TheCrimsonKing, could you post your scrolling code?

 

[Visbhume]

TheCrimsonKing, what language and libraries are you using? In particular for graphics and text rendering.

 

[denizsi]

Beautiful. Something else to look forward to.

I want to be able to force that lazy fat fuck watching TV to eat until he dies. Will we be able to do that in the later builds at least?

I feel so loved.

So, yeah, the gameplay videos look awesome. Good work!

 

[Broken Orange]

I will pay you ten American dollars for this when it is finish! How (if you're planing to "sell" it) would you give this to the public?

 

[shihonage]

This game looks pretty amazing.

I think I've read somewhere he is using java.

Holy shit, you've spawned a 65 page thread in less than a week. I too hope your project comes to fruition.

Damn this looks that could be so good, put a cop mode in

Suggestion:

- add forensics to it. Gunshots leave residue on the surroundings and your clothes, footsteps leave tracks, wounds leave blood trails, etc
- add dogs. Scent trails.

Don't forget to add curtains too.

Hadn't watched the video, just did, holy shit holy shit that is awesome.

I usually have little patience for rogue-likes but this looks awesome.

 

[shihonage]

Man I just re-watched the video in more detail and this is truly inspiring. It makes me wish I never shifted to using graphics and just remained with textmode, where graphics and code are ONE, and where words rule all.

By now I would've completed something awesome like that.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Don't worry. You're not the only one that wishes it .

 

[VasectomyOmega]

It's a hoax.

Codex was in on it, he PMed everyone in the secret PM club

I guess it was a hoax, but this wasn't really outlandish enough to be a troll in a world with LCS in it

Yes! Now the spot is open for me to replicate this game exactly. Ahem. In the future.

Make it look exactly the same as it does in the video if you want

Thanks but no thanks, you inspirational cunt. I already had dynamic lightsourcing and particles in pure textmode 14 years ago.

 

[Oggez_Rashas]

Fantastically disappointing. I should have known. Everything in the video was just too perfect. The victim throwing up his arm to block the blow followed by his attempt to grab the weapon and cutting himself. The dramatic showdown with the cops. Carefully orchestrated down to the tiniest detial. That will teach me to be happy about anything ever. Bravo you bastard. But all hope is not lost (just yet)! With this much interest stired, surely someone will try programing a "real deal" version. Hell, if I knew how to program I'd do it myself.

SERIAL-KILL HIM WITH CHILD-RAPE

(put that in your write-up)

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Ok. That was the most distasteful joke that I have seen in last ten years.

There is hope in that a quantitative portion of gamers were repulsed by the notion of simulating serial killers as player characters in a video game. Kudos to you if you fall in that category.

Also, please that tell me that it's just elaborate trolling. Are these guys vegetarians or what?

EDIT:
Oh, I see, it was a troll. My belief in humanity is saved .

 

[Murk]

;((((

well, fuck. I didn't care about pretend-serial-killing, I just wanted a super interactive and detailed game

 

[Oggez_Rashas]

Same here bro. Same here.
