Worms! Remake

Posted by Mordi on Oct. 29, 2009, 5:26 p.m.

No music this time. Just some GM-related stuff.

Me and Josh (a.k.a Jalb or Bald Eagle 636) decided that we should remake my old project "Worms!" (http://worms.ja-lb.com/) in order to incorporate online play on it.

The working title is "Pinktards". We won't call it "Worms!" this time, for obvious legal concerns.

We have been working on it for around 2 and a half months, and already we have a playable online shooter. I do programming and graphics, while Josh does the networking side of things.

Here are some screenshot of the current work-in-progress (v0.2) version:

The lobby is near-complete. My worm is just needs a tan.

I just threw in a picture of me playing with myself for the heck of it.

In the final version, it'll probably say "Stop playing with yourself" here.

We'll probably release v0.2 pretty soon. Just a matter of days, I reckon.

Let me know what you think of it.

If there's one thing more fun than playing with yourself it's playing with other people.

I remember trying to make a sprite for that game a long time ago. Or maybe someone stole a worm sprite and I colored it? Anyway, reminds me of Worms Armaggedon.

Hootiehoo: Yes. They rarely fit the artstyle of the rest of the game in many cases when it comes to GM-games.

I actually played a GM game called "Logigun" which used that sort of sprites for the smoke, and I thought they looked pretty cool so I made my own. The worms-games also use very similar ones, I guess.
