The new game draweth nigh! [Archive] - BlitWise Bulletin Board

It's been a crazy couple of months with: the crunch mode for the Gold/Snowball packs in August, coding the web game Finders Peepers in September (shockwave.com), and THEN releasing a brand-new game in October. Sometimes it may seem that our releases are slow... but it's been hectic around here. Just ask Brian. ;)

I can't promise a release on Friday, but we should have a final build by then.

Anyways, I just wanted to say that we're almost ready to ship this thing and I'm excited to be almost done. I'll see you all on the other side of this project. Woohoo!

is there going to be a demo and a deluxe version of this game? I am sure the answer to this is around somewhere but I can't find it :\

YAY!!! This weekend is the weekend when the game comes out!!! Hopefully! But I'm glad to hear those words from the Big Cheese around here...Hooray for Blitwise!!! Also, I made my first program in C++! It talks to you...mysterious...

Well, as Mike said, we MAY be ready to release today. It may take a few days, as well. It really depends on the amount of caffeine coursing through Mike's bloodstream. ;)

The night was young, and I had weights to hold my eye lids down. I was tired and cold. I went to bed and found myself sweating. I got up to get some water then my computer was humming at me, saying: JOHN, THE GAME JUST CAME OUT! WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT, SLEEP OR BLITWISE? Then I thought to myself, which is more important? I decided it was Blitwise. I turned on my computer and was dissapointed by the fact that the hums by my computer was lying. This will soon happen to me every night, and every time, I wonder to myself, what kind of a game will it really be. I lie awake, thinking about what the game could possibly be. I then got back on to my computer and re-read every fourm, to search for any leaks. I found a few drops, but not enough to satify my thirst. My thirst for Blitwise's new game. So I searched every word, every picture and every site that may contain some more information. I find nothing sadly. so I lie awake, wondering, if my soul will ever rest before the game comes out...How'd you like it? good story eh? And then something happy happens! Umm...cheesecakes falls from the heavens! yeah...that's what happened!

It's not as bad as having a computer that boses you around and wakes you up in the middle of the night! My computer makes hate signals to me by making programs in C++ and then launching them on it's own...GHOST COMPUTER!!! AHHHHH!!!

My guess: It's called Shinies.

zetablack

10-22-2006, 12:34 AM

shinies.... but wasn't the last letter n?

Everlast

10-22-2006, 02:12 AM

I thought the first letter was N and the last letter was S, but I may be wrong :)

Zwaken

10-22-2006, 02:15 AM

My guess: It's called Shinies.

I don't think it will be called shinies, it just doesn't sound like an apropriate game name for...well...any game. It just doesn't seem like they would make a game to do with shiney things. Well, I may be wrong because pocket tanks has absoluty nothing to do with pockets.

Everlast

10-22-2006, 02:18 AM

pocket tanks has absoluty nothing to do with pockets.

It doesn't does it................hmmmm must think.

JakeTheRock

10-22-2006, 02:20 AM

yea, where did the pocket come from anyway?

Everlast

10-22-2006, 02:21 AM

Mabye Mike was trying to think of a name and while he was, he was fiddling with his pockets. :confused:

JakeTheRock

10-22-2006, 02:25 AM

on the subject, where did DX come from?

Zwaken

10-22-2006, 02:26 AM

Maybe they called it pocket tanks because if you think about it, on the screen, the tanks accualy look kinda small...

Stop posting useless messages over and over again!

Yer, its kinda strange.

Everlast

10-22-2006, 02:53 AM

Wow, we each posted within a minute of eachother.

Bert

10-22-2006, 03:15 AM

Looks like you are being a little hipocritaical to me Everlast...I guess one or two useless posts don't hurt :). But I do agree there are like 2 people here that post useless messages over and over again. They know who they are. And Zwaken123 I don't think you are one to talk about little kids because you saying "lol" is the same as you saying "lol for the little kids" if you catch my drift...

Back on topic. The new game looks cool. I am thinking it might be some kind of adventure shooting game maybe, and it will have like action and puzzels. What ever it is, it sounds sweet!

Zwaken

10-22-2006, 03:18 AM

Woah, woah, woah! Are you saying that you don't like me? Do you consider me as one of those people? Let's not hate on the fourms...I do post some random stuff, but I try to flow with the conversation...I don't start the randomness, I flow with it...Now do YOU catch MY drift? Not trying to be mean...

Everlast

10-22-2006, 03:23 AM

..........Anyway, I think its gonna be a shooter game, either like GigaWing or mabye like Geomatry Wars. Yeah Geomatry Wars sound stupid buts its actually quit fun, (its for x-box 360).

Bert

10-22-2006, 03:24 AM

I am just saying you shouldn't post random stuff period. So what if everyone is posting random stuff in a topic, you can just bring the topic back on topic instead of continuing the pointless posts. I am done discussing this so can we please just get back on topic?

Zwaken

10-22-2006, 03:30 AM

mmk. I think we should all just wait a day or 2 to find out wat it is...

Everlast

10-22-2006, 03:39 AM

Actually I think Mike said Friday so wouldn't it be more than 2 days before it comes out? Oh ya and Bert I did go back on topic and then you went off the topic. If people want to say random stuff go here OK (http://forums.blitwise.com/forums/showthread.php?t=257).

Bert

10-22-2006, 03:45 AM

Ug, ok my last post here. Everlast you said "Wow, we each posted within a minute of eachother." That was going off topic, am I wrong? OK now I am officially done discussing this.(Unless somebody fibs again)

I think the game will come out tomoro(wishful thinking). I wonder if this game will be 2d or 3d, because DX ball and pocket tanks are 2d, so maybe they will follow the trend.

Everlast

10-22-2006, 03:50 AM

What does that mean, I'm not sure I follow you.

Zwaken

10-22-2006, 03:55 AM

not addicted...ammused. Back to topic: I think that it will come out tommarow also. Either that or monday. (wishful thinking) And I also think that it will be in 2D because it doesn't seem like Bliwise to make a 3D game. I'm I right?

Bert

10-22-2006, 03:56 AM

Everlast

10-22-2006, 04:01 AM

Omg, I'm so stupid, I kept reading 2d and 3d as 2nd and 3rd, no wonder I didn't understand it. Arg.

Zwaken

10-22-2006, 04:11 AM

Well you know like mario for gameboy, you only go like side to side, that is 2d. But in most of the next gen consel games are 3D. Like Halo, Need for Speed, Super Mario Party, etc. I hope the game is 3d because 3d really just is an all around better gaming experience for the most part. But 2D games can still be fabulous too. Blitwise have created 2 of the best out there IMO.

well, the more I think about it, the more I think it's gunna be 2D. It sais somewhere around here that the game play will be completely with the mouse and it would be hard to play a game that is 3D with just a mouse.

???revived

10-22-2006, 04:14 AM

I think the game will be like N, which was a cool game in my opinion...

Oh, and I think the "pocket" in Pocket Tanks might have something to do with the fact that the game is simple enough to be made onto a handheld console (and be fun on it as well), as some handheld versions of games have the suffix "pocket" in their names...

Zwaken

10-22-2006, 04:15 AM

Omg, I'm so stupid, I kept reading 2d and 3d as 2nd and 3rd, no wonder I didn't understand it. Arg.

how should I put this...super mario=2D. Halo=3D. Megaman X1=2D. Pocket tanks=2D. In 2D games, there are 2 directions you can move and in 3D games there are 3 directions you can move.

Everlast

10-22-2006, 04:20 AM

N is a platformer where you control a little ninja and most go through obstacles to get to the other level.

Sounds lame, but is actually really fun (and hard)...

Zwaken

10-22-2006, 04:23 AM

I like platformers a lot! That's what I'm rooting for! Etheir that or an asteriods like game. Wait! It cant be a platformer because of the mouse-only controls. hmmm...that one aspect gets rid of a lot of ideas about the game.

but its fun to talk about the game :)

Everlast

10-22-2006, 04:28 PM

I'm gonna guess that the name of the game is Nuetrons. Because thats the only word I can think of that begins with N and ends with S.

SonicTTH

10-22-2006, 08:36 PM

^^yay did they say that its name is a word?
Or in the english language?
Mabye its a German word, like: Nuss, Neues, Noch was... haha these are really no words for a games name xD Nuss = Nut, Neues = New things, Noch was = another thing... xD but i think it sounds kinda exotic in english ''Neues'' xD lets see...
