WOW! Thats awesome, although some of the pictures aren't coming up, and this might belong in the shameless plug section. What are you using to make the game? I'll download it as soon as I go home.

Nice, something to tide us over until the next release from Nintendo. Obviously fan based games don't have the production values of something from Nintendo but they generally have lots of character and heart and this one looks to be no exception.

looks good I'll have to downlaod the demo and try it out when I get time.

.75 MB? Thats a pretty small file size, even my meager 56K could handle it. As soon as it's done downloading, I'll tell ya what I think.

Notedog

Well... that was..... short. I suggest adding a menu for the gyroid where we can customise controls, and are you sure you don't want us topoint out glitches? You might be missing a few. Also, there are a lot of grammar mistakes.

It's not that good.

Cut him a break, it was a demo. Do you have a website?

Aww crap. Mine keeps droping out at the name enter screen. It looks good though (based on screens and what actaully played)... Maybe you could talk to nintendo about a full version?

I dont think nintendo would care about this game its pretty small

Anyways the new demo is out this sunday and it includes more items more animals more interaction and bug fixes.

Cool, I would have played for a longer time, but I turned into a tree. But what I saw of it was great. +rep

Yes, please post it here when it comes out. Don't be afraid to do things that animal crossing doesn't do, like giving Nook competition, and more rooms for your house.

hey thanks but the basic idea of this project is to expand onto the real animal crossing. By doing this im going to add new towns like an all residential area, business area, nature area, and basic town area. Also I hope to add things like an arcade where you collect mini games and donate them to the arcade where it has competitions weekly that have prizes. A library where you can find info on finding special items that will be hidden inside caves. A movie theatre with weekly movies of animations and other types of things. An interest sytem where you can gain money from saving your money in the bank. A weed spray where you can get rid of weeds much easier than before and also pay animals to do this for you. A loan function where you can loan money to animals and specify a date to either pay it off or give furniture in exchange. I have many other ideas but need to still organize them.

Hehe thanks a lot trust me I have been thinking about this for quite some time and have gotten some great ideas that I cant wait to add to this game. For more info on the development on this game you can check out this link:

The only problem is you have to sign up but if you like zelda this forum is for you It's the original site I posted this on because of the popularity i had there with the game i post more info about the game there than anywhere else.

I did a search on Animal Town, and I found a thread with a guy named Luigimasta, is that where this is taking me?

I'm gonna have to take a look at this Pillows.

You said that you'd have a new version of it up today? Could you post a link here?

The pillows, get on aim.

10-11-2004, 03:42 AM

Well, I messed around with it for a bit and I was very impressed. It was very buggy and didn't allow me to deliver the first item to Rover (or even see it in my inventory) but it was cool anyways. Keep working on it. I'll definatly be checking out future demos and the like.

Notedog

10-11-2004, 04:10 AM

The demo will be posted tommorow, and thepillows apologizes for the delay.

10-12-2004, 02:42 AM

Figured this thread would be better suited for this forum.

Anywho.. great work man. I used to own an Animal Crossing site, so obviously I'm a big fan of the game.

10-12-2004, 02:56 AM

Hmmm, when I used a different name, I had no problems......

Michael

10-12-2004, 03:32 AM

My game is painfully slow, and I have gamemaker..I think that's what you used right? well, mine is slow, but it wasn't slow last time.

thepillows

10-12-2004, 03:53 AM

im not sure what you mean can you explain it a little better? thanks

Michael

10-12-2004, 03:56 AM

Well, it takes about 6 minutes to walk from the bottom of a sqaure to the top of it. For some reason my framerate went down to about 1/2 frame per second.

thepillows

10-12-2004, 04:19 AM

Hmm very strange whats your computer specs?

Notedog

10-12-2004, 04:29 AM

Works fine for me.

Michael

10-12-2004, 04:43 AM

Gamemaker games have never faired good on it, but it's probably just a one time occurance seeing as it worked fine last time. I have a 80 gig harddrive, and 512 ram, and all at 2.5 gigaherts.

10-26-2004, 03:24 AM

Wow I haven't posted in a while . . .
Just to let you know a new "graphical demo" is going to come out in a bit it will not have those annoying bugs and will have more graphical content.

thepillows

10-26-2004, 05:59 AM

Sorry but no . . . The program that I use to make this is made for windows and creates games for windows so no. BUT someone is making a program that can convert my file into a java file which means I can convert it to any operating system.
