Few Ideas for AoB3

[Davedude]

A few Ideas for Project: CANADA.

1. an Arcade of a videogame system in you home.

2. an extreemely long quest that will span the game, but not like the presents in LL2, something where you
have to focus on it, and not just stumble into it.

3. a really hard (optional) place, where if you complete it, you get a special item to use

4 Have different car behave different, make a big ice cream van drive different that a police car

5. make many different weapons that behave differently, maybe have a rubber band gun
that jams occationally, or fires in a random 90 degree angle, or something dealing with water that you have to refule.

6. have many well gaurded sekrits, a tile, that when you press up against for 10
seconds, it opens up.

7. listen to these ideas.

8. if there IS an online, and if there IS an arcade, make it so people can face off online.

9. make it able to change Dumb FM to your own, custamizable playlist

10. make some usefull cheats, but have some be funny ones. like, a one that lets you
read certain peoples minds.

11. have a 2 slot cheat lock you may only have 1 of each cheat activated or something so people don't abuse the game

[Blackduck]

10. make some usefull cheats, but have some be funny ones. like, a one that lets you read certain peoples minds.

That'd be good. Though I'd prefer modifiers then cheats like everybody has sombreros or all guns are replaced by bananas!

[Davedude]

Have you been playing to much lego star wars?

[Knittel]

I agree with you, except for the cheats. I would like an editor! :mrgreen:
And, yeah the 10th is extremely difficult and if you aren't in a Group of at least 20 Programmer it is nearly impossible!

[Pumpkineater]

10. make some usefull cheats, but have some be funny ones. like, a one that lets you

Yay cheats are cool:twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted:: twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted::twist ed:

[Davedude]

I would disagree, Some cheats may help, but if there are too many, the game is ruined

[AtkinsSJ]

I think your mention of different vehicles acting differently is a good one. They could have different speed, acceleration, and the damage they take. Maybe other things too, though it can't be too complicated.

[TyTBone]

Side Question: should Bouapha be allowed to take ANY vehicle that he sees on the street, or is the game going to be more realistic than that?

[TyTBone]

9. make it able to change Dumb FM to your own, custamizable playlist

I would disagree with this one, but I guess only because it's unrealistic. I think you should be allowed to buy CDs of the music you hear on Dumb FM. (or KDMB)

[Davedude]

Maybe A CD you can buy is a writable CD.


I Want Jamul to come and read this and give his opinion

[varkarrus]

Actually, one of the buildings I sent in for the funtest was modeled to look like an arcade.

[Davedude]

That grrrrreat! I hope it gets accepted

[TyTBone]

Maybe A CD you can buy is a writable CD.


I Want Jamul to come and read this and give his opinion

Actually, I meant CDs in the game, not in real life. But that works too!

[TyTBone]

Okay, I know everyone from here to kingdom come has given his or her opinion on driving, but I thought I'd offer mine. (Really simple stuff, probably already thought out.)

- Obviously, the vehicles will have to turn at 45 degree angles (just like the You-Go and everything else), but unlike the You-Go, you should be able to slow down and stop whilst still in the vehicle.

- Grass shouldn't make you automatically pop out; it should just gradually slow you down, like the mud in Loonyland when you don't have boots on (albiet maybe not so drastically).

- Bigger vehicles should go slower, but should be able to withstand more damage (if that will be an issue) and have an easier time plowing through things (if, again, that will be an issue).

- There don't need to be very many different vehicle body types, but to add diversity add lots of differently colored vehicles of the same kind.

- Water: maybe you should - in this case - automatically pop out if the car visits the drink (depending on the "water level" - Some water you ought to be able to drive through, depending on the vehicle.)

- Turning: ummmm...well, I'm sure somebody else has a better opinion than
me.

Es okey?

[AtkinsSJ]

Maybe having a key to press to leave a vehicle would be better than the pop-out-when-you-leave-the-road thing, but I suppose that'll add another button to ty and work out where to put it.

[Coolguy]

Boats/Helicopters to get across water would be fun.

[TyTBone]

Boats/Helicopters to get across water would be fun.

For the helicopters, I think they could act like a cross between the one in Lego Island and jumping in LL2. You get in and it would automatically go up to a certain height, but you can fly around on that height. (Like driving around on air.)

Alternatively, you could could adjust the height somewhat. You wouldn't be able to go lower than any height of the buildings, and no higher than the "invisible ceiling".

BTW, I realize this is all in theory because the flying in this game style will probably be really hard to do.

[TyTBone]

Maybe having a key to press to leave a vehicle would be better than the pop-out-when-you-leave-the-road thing, but I suppose that'll add another button to ty and work out where to put it.

Ctrl (or maybe Spacebar) to pop out, Shift to fire "marshmellows" out of the car (drive-by style). Something like that...

[Hammer Up!]

Ctrl (or maybe Spacebar) to pop out, Shift to fire "marshmellows" out of the car (drive-by style). Something like that...

Down to brake,Up to accelerate,lft and right to go to left and right.:roll:

[Coolguy]

Ctrl (or maybe Spacebar) to pop out, Shift to fire "marshmellows" out of the car (drive-by style). Something like that...

Actually, I'm pretty sure Jamul said this game was using the Retrovirus-style mouse-keyboard combo thing. The mouse shoots, not a keyboard key.

[.Blue Dwarf.]

When your in the car, if you shoot, Bouapha's hand should pop out the window with the marshmellow gun.

That could be alot of work though... But I don't know anything about making games so meh....

[AtkinsSJ]

I think Jamul wanted the game playable with just a mouse, though keyboard is optional - a bit like the mouse mode in Sleepless Hollow. And mice have a limited number of buttons. But I guess people should be able to cope with pressing buttons on the keyboard at the same time.

[TyTBone]

Actually, I'm pretty sure Jamul said this game was using the Retrovirus-style mouse-keyboard combo thing. The mouse shoots, not a keyboard key.

Sounds good to me. So are you suppose to be able to aim with the mouse, but walk with the arrow keys (preferably WASD)?

[.Blue Dwarf.]

I think it should be both
Mainly because my " w " key doesn't work the best....

[Davedude]

I believe thats the plan, although, a really want to plug my computer car wheel in a drive around at max speeds

[TyTBone]

I really want to plug my computer car wheel in to drive around at max speeds

That aspect sounds really difficult for Jamul to implement into Happyponygate!

(Or am I wrong?)

[Davedude]

No, I mean a writable CD in the game that allowed you to put any of your music on

[varkarrus]

One word for a boss: PWNy

[.Blue Dwarf.]

*considers the above to be spam*
*Considers this to be spam*

Better make a comment to make this relavent...


I like the thought of being able to make your own sound track for the game.
I assume you mean you would go into an editer and pick different music from off your computer....

If that's what you mean then cool.

[Mr.Onion]

You can already do the above in Supreme.

[.Blue Dwarf.]

So?
I don't see your point...


In this game, you have to pay money(not real money!) for a CD, it's very different!:D

[AtkinsSJ]

Or you could just tune your radio to Custom FM instead of DUMB FM.

[Pumpkineater]

A post office you will be able to pm other users with it or chat with them:)

[drgamer]

Actually, I'm pretty sure Jamul said this game was using the Retrovirus-style mouse-keyboard combo thing. The mouse shoots, not a keyboard key.
I posted a pretty good setup, in my opinion, when he was talking about it (in the comments)

It was basically, the mouse is the direction. Left click/right click would do whatever they do(well, the left click could be goto, if that's the movement method now...)
Speed is basically the wheel, scroll up to speed up, scroll down to slow down and have reverse(although there's not really a point for that, I suppose). Clicking the mouse wheel drops the speed down to zero or perhaps slows it down faster(emergency breaks, or something)

[Connor S.]

Only one problem with that. I HAVE NO SCROLL WHEEL! :p

[drgamer]

...What kind of computer do you have?
Nearly all mice have a scroll wheel.. Oh you have a laptop, don't you? Well, you'd pretty much be excluded from this game anyways, as you kinda need a mouse to play it :p

[SpiderPumpkin]

...What kind of computer do you have?

It's possible to hook up a mouse to a laptop, you know... BTW, whether your mouse has a scroll wheel or not does not necessarily have much to do with the 'quality' of the rest of your computer. I used to have a two-button Microsoft mouse connected to mine not too long ago (and I bought my current keyboard at a flea market) :D

[Mr.Onion]

Fleas sell computer hardware? :p Using the scroll wheel probably isn't a good idea, since not all of us have them.

[AtkinsSJ]

Plus, scrolling while doing other things would be too confusing, as I tend to use my pointing finger for scrolling.

[Connor S.]

No, I have a regular computer, but my mouse only has a left and right button. no center button or scroll wheel.

[drgamer]

Wow, I didn't know you could GET a mouse without a scroll wheel...

And I use my middle finger for the scroll wheel...

[TyTBone]

Wow, I didn't know you could GET a mouse without a scroll wheel...

Are you kidding me? What about the first mouse, from Apple? It looked like half a brick! :)

Yea, today at least they're common...

[drgamer]

No, I mean nowadays... Don't all mice have scroll wheels? Mac mice don't count; those aren't for PCs, which AOB3 is for :p

[CheeseLord]

No, they really don't. Most do, but there are still plenty of people who would be unable to play if it was necessary.

[PlasmaCannonsRule]

Some vehicle ideas;

Ambulance- Drives fast and allows you to pick up injured people for certain quests, but no weapons.

Motorcycle: Fastest in the game, and allows you to use your standard weapons, but you are vulnerable while driving it, and getting hit really throws you off balance.

You-Go: Same as the SWC You-Go.

Tank: Slow and large, but can launch missiles and has an automatic machine gun.

[seamonkey]

I believe all kinds of weapons do NOT work on the creatures from inside the portal

[PurpleKoopa]

Oh, there should be the four riders on happy ponies! Just realized that in the chat...

[Coolguy]

Oh, there should be the four riders on happy ponies! Just realized that in the chat...

Heh heh. :p I bet they'd be the Ponymen of Love, Truth, Plenty, and Peace, and own the Seven Deadly Stables.

[seamonkey]

Heh heh. :p I bet they'd be the Ponymen of Love, Truth, Plenty, and Peace, and own the Seven Deadly Stables.
Naaah!!! The 7 friendly stables!!

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Will there be any shield powerups or weapons in AoB3: HPL? I was thinking of a shield powerup which didn't require you to hold down the secondary fire button to keep it active...

[TyTBone]

I know this thread is really old, but I figured it was the most appropriate place to post these ideas. These have probably been mentioned before, but I don't remember where.

Auto Repair Shop - Something you could earn coins for would be for car customization here. Practical things - like upgradable engines, tires, mud flaps (for the chocolate :D), etc. - as well as creative things - paint, chrome, funky stuff to stick on the antenna, etc.

Otto's Great Autos - Not the final name, obviously :D, but I think a place like this would be good so that one can't auto(heh)matically drive the best vehicles. He would have to save up for them and buy them. (Although, technically, since Bouapha's commandeering any car on the street, he would just take these too, wouldn't he? Hmmm...little conflict, there.)

[AtkinsSJ]

There are probably still used car salesmen living in London though. Probably wouldn't want to leave their cars, or are happily welcoming their new potential otherworldly customers.

[seamonkey]

Actually used car salesmen would be a cool enemy.

[AtkinsSJ]

Or it could at least make an interesting badge or whatever, if that sort of thing will be in it. For, I don't know, selling cars I guess. :p

[TyTBone]

Starting up this thread again!

This may have already been mentioned, but...

Bank - you can put [x] amount of Loonies in at one point, and - depending on the interest rate, get [x] + [y] when you decide to take them out! Huzzah.

Also, I think investing in the stock market might be a nice option; it would sort of go along with Jamul's "chances of extreme aid" ideas, mentioned in the Journal. The worth of your stock would randomly (to a point, I suppose) fluctuate, and you could sell at any point or take a chance and hope the stock will continue to rise. :)

Clock - This is just practical. A in-game clock (based on the time in the taskbar) would be useful for those who don't have a lot of time to play and don't want to "guess" when to get off.

[Coolguy]

A skill that lets the player wear better equipment, or have higher ''random chance of something good happening'' chances. :p Or a skill that lets players eat more FOOD.

Also, a ''British Person Trousers'' equipment item that converts everything the player says in the chat from human language into British (by adding random ''u''s in every word and replacing all ''er''s with ''re''s).

[TyTBone]

People who want could exchange credits (Loonies) for air time on Dumb FM, like commercials. For example, Supersilver could buy a 10 second ad for [x] number of Y$ and advertise RA.

Or maybe for free, people could sign a contract for a radio show (only like a 5 min thing), which they could email to Jamul once a week. :D And they would get credits for continuing to honor the contract. :) Bleh!

[Coolguy]

As interesting as that sounds, I don't think Jamul would make people pay to give free content. :p (And I don't think people would listen to a bunch of commercials)

[Megadog]

I find that quite insulting as you (American I assume?) changed it, but the English refused. Maybe a thing where you put in where you actually are in the would, and then everything is written like that! So in England color (EWW!) would become colour!

[Ryuinfinity]

The whole game takes place in Canada. And don't be so serious. He's just having fun.

[TyTBone]

(And I don't think people would listen to a bunch of commercials)

Are you cereal?

Well, they'd have to be amusing, but I think he'd at least consider it! New ones would help to keep Dumb FM interesting! :D

[AtkinsSJ]

Hey, Jamul could get contracts with Coca-cola and stuff to display adverts on in-game billboards too! No, wait, people usually hate that stuff. :p

[drgamer]

They've already infested this 'real life' that I keep hearing about... Why do we want them in other games!

:whistle:

[Coolguy]

It would be cool to have billboards- Billboards could randomly pick from a set of images that people send in, and they could advertise things like made-up movies or products. :p

[TyTBone]

OffTopic: whats aob3
AoB3 is short for Adventures of Bouapha 3, (a.k.a. Happyponygate London, Ontario).
http://hamumu.wikia.com/wiki/Happyponygate

[varkarrus]

Or... Jamul could spice up his random movie maker program, make it make really funny movie titles -- not random stuff. He could even make a random movie program! This would be for billboards or actual movies at Londonion Movie theatres.

[drgamer]

It would be cool to have billboards- Billboards could randomly pick from a set of images that people send in, and they could advertise things like made-up movies or products. :p
Such as Cluck-A-Cola! (Or cloak-a-cola)

Or even Clocka-cola (Just compare the clocks!)

[LoonyBoy]

Drgamer that cloak-a-cola idea is genuis!

Cloak-a-cola would turn you invisible! :mrgreen:

[drgamer]

That was the intention, yes.

[Gamer99]

Can I say something?


How about water-scooter/cruiser?

It could be same as using car,but it could be used only at water?

And you could ride over Zoids :D

[Coolguy]

I hope there are zoids - We haven't seen any new zoids for a while. :p

[TyTBone]

I hope there are zoids - We haven't seen any new zoids for a while. :p

Joyazoid or Joyfulzoid? Meh... still a nice idea.

I know that if billboards are allowed, I'll certainly buy a space for a "Just compare the clocks" ad.

I wonder if nighttime (or dusk) could be a special mode that could be won, where a different set of enemies would appear.

[Coolguy]

Joyazoid or Joyfulzoid? Meh... still a nice idea.

Probably more like Chocozoids. :p

I wonder if nighttime (or dusk) could be a special mode that could be won, where a different set of enemies would appear.

Normal day/night cycles would be fun - Each phase lasts 2 hours and different enemies appear at different times.

[drgamer]

Or, maybe the 'nighttime' random event, where monsters get stronger.... Night is more fun, isn't it?

[l156a21]

Probably more like Chocozoids. :p

Zoids,Many of the zoid names are based on elements,well sort of.So,maybe necrozoid(dark type)?HAHA

[l156a21]

Or, maybe the 'nighttime' random event, where monsters get stronger.... Night is more fun, isn't it?

Perhaps,maybe you can have a special ability that makes you a little stornger as well or makes the monsters zombies?LOL

[Connor S.]

Please Edit your posts, instead of creating new ones.

I think the elements in this game are faaaarrrrfrom "dark type" Chocozoid would fit much better as an element into this game, or Luvzoid, Fluffzoid, etcetera.

[Coolguy]

Necrozoids don't sound like they'd work for the Happy Ponies. :p

Everybody wants a zoid that shoots rainbows.

[AtkinsSJ]

Everybody wants a zoid that shoots rainbows.
What did the rainbows do to deserve that? :p

[. Yellow Wizard .]

Hmm...let me think...
a plane? no...
a-HA!
A power suit!
sorta like Power Armour, but it comes in many different variations!
and Costumes!!
And you could have a multiplayer mini game!
Cool, huh?

[Coolguy]

What did the rainbows do to deserve that? :p

Because if we don't shoot them now, they'll get us first!!1!1

[l156a21]

Hmm,what is needed now is a cute type of zoid?sound funny.*laugh*

[AtkinsSJ]

Ooh! I finally thought of a decent zoid name! A Fuzzoid. It'll be all warm and fuzzy. :D

[drgamer]

And there's the always favorite DISCOzoid! It wears an afro...

[Gamer99]

How about..gulp...Happypony Zoid?

It could look like Happypony + Zoid!


Happypony + Zoid = Freakzoid XD

I think Bouapha looks like 18 year old person...why?

Look http://images.wikia.com/hamumu/images/f/f3/HRPuffencrush.png (http://images.wikia.com/hamumu/images/f/f3/HRPuffencrush.png)isnt that spooky?

Big eyes & pointy nose!


And this is original http://images.wikia.com/hamumu/images/b/bc/Bouapha.png (http://hamumu.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Bouapha.png)

Bouapha is changed!
Now he looks like 22 years old person!

[Coolguy]

It would be pretty weird for an 18-year-old to be bald... :p I think he's a lot older than 20.

[drgamer]

Bouapha is over 900 years old! (Only over 900, not nine thousand)

[TyTBone]

Let's keep this thing chugging along!

An idea I had which is more work for Jamul but makes more sense (and could be more interesting) involves the Loonies. Maybe instead of having them fall out of crushed and asploded objects, stuff of which the object is worth would appear. Like, for example, trees: if they were hit, LL2 logs would come exploding out, and Bouapha could take those to the London sawmill and sell them for some Loonies. Or benches/ dumpsters: chunks or slices of metal would come out and could be picked up and sold to the local ?refinery?...etc.

Also, WE STILL NEED Vehicles! :D I cannot forget about them!

And if no explosions, then please at least pick some "satisfying" smash noises, especially of glass breaking.

[Gamer99]

I would love to see Tank where bouapha can blast some monsters!

How about enemy tank?

Seriously, vehicles are a must. They'd give you something to pimple out.

[l156a21]

It will be fun to have a tank,to blow things up!:D

[Gamer99]

How about minigame called to "Pony Races?"

Choose Pony and see what wins..if you win,you get double points!

If not..sorry,Hamumu wins!:lol:

[TyTBone]

Oh! How about a building with all the different time zones in the world! (Like in an airport or something.) That way we could compare the clocks in AoB3! :lol: Or, I suppose a single clock tower would suffice. Meh-merizing...

[varkarrus]

Hehe. Custom title is awrsome.

[DBAce9Aura]

I kinda accidently typed this up already on the wrong topic, but here it is again (as i said, this probably might NOT exist in the final product):

In addition to the four damage types that already exist, two other ones could also exist:

SPICE: Based on spicy things (certain chips, sauce-covered nachos, sometimes hot dogs). Critical hits result in OverHeat, which increases mobility but drives victim berserk (Boupha becomes uncontrollable). The Super Powers are Hot Breath (breath of hot air that lowers defenses) and Zezty Sauce (infinite ammo but reduced damage).

COLD: Based on ice cream, breath mints, ice pops, and slushies. It gives off BrainFreeze upon critical hits, which makes the victim temporarily immobile for a certain amount of time or until he/she/it receives damage (excluding cold, which does no damage). Mint Shield (shield that deflects projectiles from the front only) and Slushie Fountain (a fountain of slush that lures enemies to recover health at the cost of Brainfreeze) are Cold Super Powers.

These skill/damage types are more utility-based than Choco, Cute, Sweet, and Snuggle. Spice skills grant both benefits and penalties (few of them actually interfere with pre-existing skills) and is speed focused (more so than Sweet). Cold Skills are a hybrid between offense and defense (but don't excel at either one the way Choco and Sweet do).

And that's basically it. Personally, I think this might work better for a possible expansion pack.

[LoonyBoy]

:(HPG is cancled....and i was gonna post some ideas.
