The Official Hamster Republic All Star Battles

Post by Froginator »

As I was sitting around, working on the Pumpkin Warriors, I came up with the idea to make an OHR themed Smash Bros. like game.
If some of you guys want this project come to life, you can
post character sugestions.

I would suggest:
-Bob the Hamster
-Tim-Tim
-My very own Pumpkin Warriors-Sunny
-Red Triangle
-The Walrus
-A Slime
-Someone from the Vikings of Midgard


I would also need the permissions of the character's owners.

Not even major game companies have managed to make good Smash clones and the OHR would be a terrible platform for something where online play and zoomed out screens and incredibly precise framerates matter so much.

Also it would be harder to script than literally anything ever released here by a gigantic margin, it's not a project anyone will casually volunteer for and actually produce something.

This shouldn't be made on the OHR. Despite it being OHR based. There are several good fighting game engines out there. (I hear mugen is pretty easy to use.) I think there's even some that make smash bros like fighting games.

Right it's probably better to use another engine.

Could learn to use python and pygame to do it. You can even tack on blender if you're feelin' zesty for 3D.

I vote for some of the characters from AR-PUH-GUH! for the game too.

No one should nominate their own characters/games for anything.

The idea of a fighting game has come up several times, but nobody has ever gotten past the planning stages.

Choosing the right engine for the job is definitely important, but the other big hurdle is that a fighting game requires a lot of animation frames. The art burden is really enormous, so you won't get far without one or more artists really dedicated to the project.

I'm aware of the fact, that I'm going to need some artists.
The good thing is, that I'm an artist myself, and discovered , that I can imitate many styles of art/cartoons and also have some to call my own, but I would defenitly need help for the Chracter(s) from games, like Vikings of Midgard, wich are more "anime-like".

Wherever this project winds up, it's always good practice to not use other people's characters without their permission.

I tried some engines, and came to the desicision that I should make a MUGEN OHR pack! It's easy to make and still fun, just like the OHR! I only need the permissions of the character's respective owners, and more suggestions.
:D

I couldn't think of a better pic, so it's only half-relevant.

Reminds me of the part in "The Stand" where Trashman blows up the oil tanks, for some reason.

I nominate Dinosaurs Micro, Giant, and Super; along with C. Kane, both the Marines, and Mr. Pepper.

In fact, we should just have a second game for Surlaw's characters.
