Coolio-Niato's News

Posted by Coolio-Niato - March 2nd, 2008


[UPDATE]
{
Apparently I am now the king of the portal. All must fear my wrath!!! No but seriously, enormous thank you's to everyone =D Dream come true :P
}

Beginning of March already, and still a flurry of snow outside. Ugh when will it end and tennis season begin?! Damn snow. >=(

Anyways, some updates. Cooliobeat 2 and Music in Motion were both taken very well on NG, both frontpaged winning a daily 2nd and daily 1st respectively. Both are also nominations for February's best game of the month, so if you enjoyed either one of them, I'd be appreciative of those squishing them into their top 10 list when voting.

Lately I've grown to have quite a few ideas, and am currently working on multiple flash things, one being an animation even :O. But not like that'll be out anytime soon. Some games are also in production but I don't know which one will be out next.

Combat Online has been delayed BUT ITS NOT MY FAULT. Xceed is "BUSY" with college applications, and we are so close to finishing it too it's making me mad. If you are angreh with this, leave an angry comment on his page. I have no idea how long he'll be "busy". (meaning weeks/months even) GET ANGREH

Last of all, I just noticed the people who put me under fave artists surpassed 700 a few days ago, and as always, I'd like to give my biggest thanks to all the fans who have supported me through the years. It means alot. I know that for some of you, my games are a fun little hobby but for others they actually have a large impact on your lives and I'm happy they've done that.

Urg. This news post turned into a damn essay. I'll make it shorter next time. Promise :P

BRING ON SUMMER ALREADY!

>>> Update XceeD has exams and game is being delayed god dammit. Still about a month till. In the meantime im working on a music-platform game, so thatll be out soon.

Well it's been under the covers for long enough. XceeD and I have joined together to create a flash of epic proportions. Combat Online, our first multiplayer online game that will be submitted to Newgrounds.

Combat Online is a real-time fighting game inspired by the genius workings of Tom Fulp on Castle Crashers. It features 8 different types of characters to choose from, 4 that are unlockable, as well as features a point system that allows you to unlock new weapons and characters. You can play in teams or all for themselves.

The 7 characters working now include:

Mage
Warrior
Archer
Ninja
Miner
Necro
Tech-Geek

Combat Online lets up to 4 players go head to head in a fun cartoonish battle of skill and button mashing. Whoever comes out on top scores a nice sum of points while the others get fewer (if any).

XceeD has been coding the Multiplayer side of things and I've been doing the engine itself as well as the graphix.

To sum up, here's a small (VERY VERY LOW QUALITY [sorry] ) demo vid:

Tell us what you think =D

Multiplayer Online Flash : Combat Online!

Alright well I wanted to start the 2008 year already, so I did so with (hopefully) a bang.

Play PAINT WARS (and 5en)

It's a unique concept to the normal painting experience. Enjoy

On another note, lately I've been finding out all money I earn from game creation and w/e has to go towards my university which sucks a ton, seeing as I really wanted a new car. But at least I have a way to make it into University.

With exams coming up and Java 12, Physics 12 and Math 11 next semester, I'm going to be swamped and prob won't be able to make as many games as usual, so sorry if I dont meet your expectations NG.

Well anyway, I hope for big things to happen in 2008 and may it bring good fortune to all of you =)

Here you go guys, a new game I made for the winter season. You get to play as a penguin and snowboard, skate and fly through 3 different levels.

GO CHECK IT OUT HERE!

Hope you guys enjoy it. Worked my butt off these past few days.

The turn-based game is coming along strong, but there are more and more glitches that need fixing all the time XD

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Penguins and Candy Canes!

Check out my latest animation, <Doctor's Orders>. I made it as a sort of challenge for myself to create a short but good flash animation, and also to prove that not ALL programmers are horrible at animating =)

Now that winter break is FINALLY HERE, i have tons of time to work on my turn-based game. so hopefully I will have progressed alot by the end of the break.

Peace guys.

I was browsing through my account today and found that 500 people had put me under favorite artists! WOW! I would just like to thank everyone who has done so and has supported me in the past, I make games for people like you guys, and it's a real confidence boost for me.

Thanks each and every one of you!

See if you can find your name in the list :P

500 FAVES?!! Thanks so much to all!

The turn-based game I started on a while ago is working out extremely well. Player phases and enemy phases are defined, battle engines are in place and working, 1 minor glitch really to fix up before I can start developing levels, story, and more types of units (horse-units already work partially and healers and mages still need to be programmed).

This game has been quite a big challenge to make, so I hope all of you will like it when it comes out.

Here's a screeny for your viewing pleasure.

New game coming along well.

I have a new animation I'm working on (as a small break from the turn based game). I'm collabing with st1k to make a music vid for the song "Ima Gangster".

It's a pretty random song that WiiAreTheChampions mentioned in a BBS post.

Lucky for him, I was in the neighborhood to hear it and so, take a look at a screeny from the upcoming thing!

Ima Gangsta!

I have started up (for the hundredth time) a turn based game similar to fire emblem. I though intend to finish this one cuz its SO MUCH FUN CODING IT!

Will be a while before it's out though, I barely have any graphix done but the coding is coming along well!

Check the screeny and tell me whatu thinketh!

Fire Emblem-like Game im Working On! Clicky!

I've started production on the followup to Rhythm Fireworks, with new graphix, new songs, and lots of awesome. Enjoy your same classic gameplay with new visuals, new songs, and level selections.

Thoughts?
