Jungle Bros: lord_cack's pet project! :)
« on: April 16, 2011, 08:46:58 AM »
We've mentioned this briefly in the shoutbox before but never made any threads about it, so I figured it was high time we start up something official here. :)

Jungle Bros is a platformer/adventure game designed and led by lord_cack of Frozen Utopia. The gameplay seems to be kind of a cross between Super Mario and Pitfall with a heavy marinade of Indiana Jones lore. :) I'll let him fill in any details he wants to reveal, but for the meantime, I can at least show off some screenies... just one for now, as we're just starting the new engine...



More will come later... this shot doesn't even have the HUD yet, which will likely be added today.

I usually phrase it as being a cross between SMB & Castlevania, with some indy thrown in :D

I think players will find hints of influence from a number of popular games :) .

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

The main character's face and posture make him look a little Metal Slug-ish (not sluggish). I can imagine him with a panting, back-shifting idle animation much like Marco or Tarma.

Metal Slug is one of the influences for this game besides Mario, Castlevania, & Indy.

Lovely! :)

I want to see some Pang! action in Jungle Bros., even if it is relegated to a bonus game or a mini-boss.

I'm serious, of course.

Yeah, it's a two player game, though I don't know yet how lc has designed the two player element.

When the Demo is ready I will be releasing a statement. Till then somethings will just go unanswered.

I will say the game is two players, Super Mario Bros. style, Back and forth play for the Normal Game BUT.... wait... I ll talk more about that later.....

Im really excited about this game finally coming out into the public view. I have been working on it since January 2007. I really do hope you all are as excited as I am.

I am officially excited as of now! Is this being developed with a certain NEC/Hudson produced machine in mind to play on?
