Alice in Underground

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZx1TKMMHs4

Here's the test of the first stage where Alice landed after she fell through the mysterious rabbit hole. To open the door, she needs a key. But this key won't let her have it that easily.

It's sad to see many people dropping out :( I'm actually having project due and an exam coming up but I'll try my best to finish it in time. *crosses fingers*
 
Piti got all the stages done and he made mock-ups to see how the characters will fit on each of them :O

Awesome Bro

Best of luck, Hima. This game is easily one of the most (if not THE) most appealing games I've seen on HBGames.

Even if you don't make it in time for the competition deadline, please release it anyway! :)

Thanks! I'll release it for sure even if we cant make it in time. If that's the case, we will add more stages and bosses and fix stuffs that we have to rush :D

Thank you everyone! I just hope that I can make the game as much fun as how the graphics look X(

Also, my final project deadline has been moved up to....4th of December! Which is basically the same day as this contest :( I'm starting to feel that I won't be able to make it in time for real now. *sigh*

Anyway, I'll keep working on this. If I can't make it in time, I'll add more stuffs to the game and release it two weeks later.
 
You are very talented and imaginative. This is a very sleek looking game in development you got going on here. I agree with other posters when that say that you should definitely try to finish production of this game. In my case, the game that I plan on entering was not conceived with the contest in mind specifically, so I will finish it regardless of whether I make it in time for the contest or not. On a positive side, I noticed that the deadline for the contest has been pushed up to Dec. 31st! That gives all of us a lot more time to work with. I know that I am happy to take advantage of that time. Keep up the high quality work.

Thank you very much! All praises about the art should go to Piti, the main artist guy :D Also thank you so much for telling me about the extended new deadline! I can't wait to tell Piti about this :) Hope you can finish your entry in time too!

@Darth J
There are some stages that we would like to add and more puzzles involving giant/midget transformation. This all takes time to playtest and implement so if I have more time, I can fine tune them :D
 
Hi again everyone. I'm so sorry to say that I won't be able to finish this in time. I was sick and thus made me lost the develop time of something around one week and a half. :(

I'm really sorry and I'd really love to finish it and submit it to the contest. I've tried working on it, but it seems impossible to get this finish in time, considering I have only finished programming stage 2, which leaves me 4 more stages, not including boss AI and playtest to balance stuffs X(

Anyway, thank you to HBGames for holding this contest. The idea of Alice In Underground wouldn't happen without the given contest theme.

Therefore, the game release date will be moved to something around the 20th of January. I wish all the other contestants good luck and I'm looking forward to play all the entries. Cheers!
 
Hehe thanks! Actually what took me long was not the content. Piti is a really fast artist and he finishes most of the sprites last month already. It's just me too busy with thesis and after I was done with the thesis I got sick right away. :'(
 
I think I still should post about the progress on the game. Just to let people know that it isn't dead yet!

Stage 2 midboss : Gnail ( Giant Snail :P )

Alice is about to be crushed.

The boss name should be replaced by an image instead of plain and boring text rendering like it currently is :)
 
Ok, I've uploaded a demo. Took me like forever because of slow net D:

Here's the link!

This is pretty much a tech demo. No music and sound effect yet. Many effects in the game are also not final. The game is playable up to level 2 boss ( The Giant Garden ). It's a bit rush but I probably won't be using GM anymore so might as well release what I have now as a demo :)
