Let's make a GBAtemp game

[Minox]

That sounds like an awesome start, but I think we'll need some really annoying leet-speakers as well.

hmm.., how about this:

the flashcarts should be an equipment

like say: equipping R4 allows for quicker data access (due to the fact it has delete file feature built-in), but you can only have limited set of ROM

but equipping EDGE allows you to equip better ROMs at slower data access rate

while equipping CycloDS EVO (the great equip

allows almost all ROMs equipped with many super abilities

but it's not the best! The best would be GBATemp cart, with full compatibility and 1337 skillz

what is ROM for you say?

I say it's better if the areas are divided into game genres

like say, the park is for Nintendogs and such, not having sufficient amount of a genre's ROMs makes it harder to talk to people

some areas are locked (with keys), but for some areas, they're blocked by some dedicated player, and will only move once you show him a specific ROM and ask him to discuss elsewhere. Other times it's a club where a genre's fan is gathering (like say puzzle club) and you need a few different puzzle games to get in

problem is you need microSD to fit your ROMs, and it's not 16GB or something, the first time you play you only have 1GB microSD attached to p1ngp0ng's DS-X, you can go and buy (or get) higher capacity microSDHCs later

and an ultimate place where all will be revealed requires you to get all ROMs listed in the game

how about that?

Doesn't the DS-X have built in storage?

DS-X either has 512/2048MB internal storage.

Just an example, showing how the system works, of course, the game might not be like that

and honestly, I didn't know DS-X has built-in storage

So then I'll guess Tempy will only have 512MB to spare when he gets that DS-X!


Noitora, will there be ROM collecting La Mulana style (finding them in random places/prize for solving a puzzle)? Perhaps ROM trading with random NPCs?

Will ROMs even be important? Perhaps ROMs could be used as some sort of currency.

Can't join the chat, at work.

Here's what i have so far.

Back-story:
Protagonist (Tempy) wanders outside to get some *gasp* fresh air (which he hasn’t had in a few months). As he pulls his DSL from his pocket, it slips his grasp and falls to the pavement. Out pops his M3, and it slides into the shoe of a strange man dressed in a black trench coat and black fedora. Quickly he bends down, snatches the card and runs. Tempy, furious goes storming after him.

Phone rings. “Listen closely. The FBI is trying to track down the head of an organization known only as The Tempers. Looks like there could be some trouble makers in those parts. If you can find them, they may be able to help.”

“But who are you?”
Edit: My excussions wasn't reading far enough again

M3 was just one of the most powerfull(i think cause the main char has it in begin) not the only flashcard

“Just call me... Costy.” *click*

Game starts:

People all over are going nuts. They’ve been infected with The FourChan Virus (FCV). They’re all becoming n00bs, trolls and general idiots, but you’ve gotta bash their faces in, so they stop irritating those that know what they’re doing.

First “boss” meeting is p1ngpong. Easy death, hands over his most prized possession. His DS-X. Your first low-level upgrade. With it, you have access into other areas, due to having a flash-cart. (side note, to get to the other areas, you’ll have to get better carts to show off your leetness. The DS-X will get you only so far, others will then laugh at you and flame you into a deep depression

.)

Decent start?

(possibly last post today)

Can we just call it flashcart to avoid discusions

soory for dumb post wasn't looking further

Wait, what if the first DS-X p1ngpong drops is the 512MB version, but later in the game he returns with a 2048MB DS-X and is much stronger than before?

 

[Raestloz]

Why don't we have R4 as the first upgrade?

If the second fight is later on in the game, Tempy will probably have an Acekard 2/DSTT/EDGE by then.

p1ngpong's photoshooping could make it a tough fight, though!

There are things out there much worse than the R4. Stop being such a hater. (Although, I must admit you haven't exactly typed "DURR HURR R4 (ugh) IS TEH WORST FLASHCART EVARRR!!! TEH NINJAPASS IS BETTA DAN DIS!!!" like I've seen another person type before. Seriously, the R4 gets way too much hate. It's a decent cart if you already own one, but for fucks sake don't try and buy one now).

 

[Minox]

There's much worse flashcarts out there than the R4, R4 isn't that bad when compared to those.

Another thing concerning the flashcarts. Say you find a flashcart, but this particular flashcart is a clone of a more popular one. Due to that it'll become less and less powerful over time until it stops working.

Hater? No, I'm not a hater, problem is with r4 being dead, with his dying breath the boss give our char a dying cart, I just thought the theme fits, nothing more, where did you get the impression I'm a hater?

The DS-X has been dead for a lot longer than the R4, and even then there are worse things out there than the DS-X. I probably wouldn't have used the term "hater" if you hadn't said the exact same thing earlier in the thread.

I'm also sick of all the haters that compare it to Neoflash carts.

 

[Veristical Blaze]

Idea maybe good: Your laptop has a max energy when fully loaded u have more life when its becoming less and less life lowers and at one point your life is so damn low you need to recharge u do this by defeating n00bs and other enemies and ur able to make the battery higher by purchasing/winning upgrades

idea?

let's stop about this and give ideas and edits for the game

wow now that's a good idea!

Quite true dat, the reason I used the R4 is because it's still pretty popular, and aparently, using a very low class cart might make our char's journey too long (if you want to take slot-2 solutions into account) R4 is still in the middle, it's dying yes, but compared to older solutions, it's pretty superior, but compared to newer solutions it's pretty inferior, balanced, I think that's a good start

Hey, off topic people. Knock it off lol.

As for flashcarts, that doesn't matter at this point. Again, thats small and WAY to specific for this point in the creation process.

What we need right now, Characters (bosses). Areas (titles and minor story). And POSSIBLY weapons, but don't focus on that.

Also, don't go into such depth as to how they'll be used at this point. My thoughts on flashcarts were just as "keys." We REALLY need to keep in mind that one guy is programming this (at the moment).

Simplicity is required right now. Specifics can come later

EDIT: Any new ideas, specific or otherwise, just jot em down and save em on your computer for the time being. When the time is right, fill others in. But for now, keep things simple.
