The biggest tickling video game update in AGES - with screenshot

[Phineas]

Wow.

So much has been done this past week, it still amazes me.

* Command queue is processing data. This is important, as both single- and multi-player games will rely on this relay system to communicate. Current uses of the command queue include the functioning (but not network-capable yet) chat text printing.

* Animation routines. The players fidget in their seats, look around, and can taunt one another at the press of a button. All three players are now seated at their podiums (minus their feet), and all of them animate.

* Basic AI support. The game fills out any empty seats (based on how many human players there are) with AI-controlled players.

* more models. We're up to seven selectable contestants, with four more potentially scheduled for inclusion.

* tons more junk on the web site. Documentation re-written and clarified, new screenshots added, "Behind the Scenes" photo-session bloopers, and more!

* BONUS: "Behind the Scenes" footage includes about 24 images from one of the model's photography sessions where... well, I'll let you guess. It's not to be missed.

And since I'm a nice guy, here's the latest screenshot. Web site link's in my signature below.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go fall down. Development resumes on Monday.

So are these models actually being tickled???

Take a look at the collection of concept art on the Screenshots page and tell me what you think. 😀

That's great work!!!

But hey, are those models all the same. Either way it's still great!!! But I just thought I'd ask!

(what is the sound of one programmer slapping his forehead?)

response edited due to figuring out what you meant seconds after I posted that I didn't understand what you meant. 🙄

All of the models in the screenshot are using the Elina graphic set because so far I've only had enough time to piece together some of the animation frames for that particular contestant. Each player can select (once the graphics are done) a different "look" (aka model) to represent them, whether it's Elina, Lisa, Ming, or whoever. Right now, though, Elina is the only one even partially programmed.

Looks great, bro.

Will this be a free venture, or are you asking for payment?

Cheers.😀


P.M.S. are there other tickling vid games out there?

 

[Krokus]

Yea

This project has been coming along nicely!! Great Work! 😎

 

[Phineas]

payment model

there will be a fully-functional free (demo) version available for download. there will also be a registered version that contains more characters, events, trivia questions, and tech support. The price for that is still under consideration, but I'm leaning toward the $20-$25 range.

nice work

I rememeber reading about the game a while back, and it is coming along very good now. You are a pro, keep up the good work.

You plannin on telling Gamepro Magazine about this game once it's done? After all, adults read that magazine too, and Gamepro won't review it, if they don't know about it. lol Maybe it'd be the first game they'd review that's rated "A" or whatever it is for "adult" ( not "M" which is for 17 and up ) lol

I don't know about the mainstream print press, but I have been considering sending press releases to some of the online publications. They have a curiosity about the bizarre, and IGN did do a cover of Bikini Karate Babes a while back.

food for thought, really.
