Title: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: CGM on August 30, 2019, 02:36:40 AM
NOW AVAILABLE ON PLATFORM BUILDER EXPLORE!!!
My "new" project. Antikore started this project, and I have taken it over, and given it a new name. It was originally called Gun Banzai. Or, more commonly known as Project GB. This project is quite small. For those of you wondering about my other project, ASM, don't worry! ASM isn't over, and this project will be something I will periodically update. Release date? I think it'd be safe to say a couple of months.GAME DETAILS:It's the annual shape Olympics games! Play as Super Shapes! Circles, triangles, rectangles, you name it! Battle your friends in 26 EPIC arenas! Collect awesome items and use them to your advantage! Blast, morph, shoot, blow-up, and even divide to take the title as the Strongest and Smartest Shape of the year! Play as a Bouncy Circle shape that can stick to walls, bounce, ricochet, morph into a saw, and more!Or become a Rectangle that can divide itself in half, and attack in the process!Or play as a triangle, and fire 3 projectiles from each point!(More abilities to be announced and developed! This game is a WIP. Almost done with it though!)Hit a mystery ball, and cause wacky things to happen! Such as causing the area to go dark! Or collect shape morph items to morph into unusual irregular shapes!Select different settings to adjust the goals, enable/disable hazards, and many other things!Use hazards to your advantage!Leave self-destructing devices as a surprise for your opponent!Activate a stream of cannonballs by stepping on a cannon switch!Battle in CRAZY environments!Battle in deserts, snowy and icy areas, forests, and even volcanic arenas!

So its a smash fangame.

If it was a smash fangame, then this would be 100% different. It is NOT a fangame. A fangame is where you use the same sprites and exact gameplay with maybe some extra stuff not from the original game. This is my own ideas taking a few from smash bros. It isn't a fangame.

UPDATE:
Been working on the game for a week, and am very happy with the results! BTW, lava land has been removed and replaced with castle. Why? Because of some technical issues. So, say goodbye to lavaland!

What are the problems with the Lava Arena ?
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: CGM on September 02, 2019, 02:57:22 PM
Some glitches with the lava. Also, water will have to go too. Unless I find a fix which TingThing told me about which might fix the issues. If I can fix the issues, the castle stuff is here to stay. I don't plan on adding more stages because right now, the game has plenty.

Post by: CGM on September 02, 2019, 06:12:09 PM
ALMOST AVAILABLE ON PLATFORM BUILDER EXPLORE!!!After 1 and a half weeks of development, including programming, debugging, testing, adjusting, and polishing, Crazy Shape Banzai is NOW AVAILABLE!!! Well, almost. TingThing still has to review it first. Of course it'll pass I'm certain. But don't get your hopes up too high! It's not complete. Its missing some key-features. Currently, I have only 1 playable character. And there aren't isn't any story...Yet. I just wanted to just get the game out. And CPU's are something I really want to add. I hope to add them someday.

Post by: Aeterna Games | Æ on September 02, 2019, 11:49:56 PM
Played it! Its really awesome, but...
- It's very buggy, cuz sometimes I fell out of the arena or a character disappears - The controlls of player 2 is terrible and there is no manual of it - I have no friends to play and battle with, so I need to play with myself :-\ :))
I hope, CPU's, more characters and stuff will coming soon. :)
Can't wait to play the full-version! ;)
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: CGM on September 03, 2019, 12:25:51 AM
Which arena did you fall out of? (You'll have to share a screenshot or visually describe it. I found an arena where that happens, and I will update the game with that fix) What other bugs did you find? Very buggy means it's got lots of bugs. I played through it many times with hardly any issues.
You can change P2's controls by pausing, clicking options, then clicking on P1's controls, (it will change to the P2 options) so you can change them to however you like! I can't change the defaults.
If TingThing takes a suggestion, CPU's will be added! And sorry about you being alone with nobody to play with. :(
AND YES! More characters...Coming Soon! :D

You just should play this by yourself and it takes no much time to find something weird. It is very difficult for us to diagnose your game problems and reasons and to name those all if the game has even no stable version to enjoy. I think TingThing made the right decision considering this game as Featured. It really is a different type of game from others and impresses with lots of new design and system but it still needs a lot of work, however. My game have issues too but those are difficult to find often. I just test if I can beat my game and see if I found any glitches in a journey but the game is big and I for sure may not find everything. This is why other people can report about the problems because they may pass the paths differently and find something accidentally which may haven't found by me. If your game is simply glitchy there is no reason for us to debug for you. Just fix the easiest to find glitches and bugs first!

@Alley Do you talk to me or CGM? Sorry, I‘m a bit confused and don’t really understand what u mean, cuz my english isn’t the best!
@CGM I can try to make some screenshots, but it’s not that easy, cuz they bugs or glitches are random...

Thank you for your memory. I forgot to say that my game has crashed twice. C:-)

Don't worry! :) My English is not that good also but considering that there is no game by you currently to comment about yet or a fact I am in a topic created by CGM the previous post can be written only for CGM. Also, it can be confusing to the other for whom my answer goes to like it is confusing for me to see memes and pictures appear to the forum randomly... But I can explain. For me, if I don't quote anyone nor mention anyone then my answer is always common or made for someone who posted last. So this answer has been made for you, Aeterna Games | Æ. :)
An error you posted about is a PB error actually. CGM should report about it, make something different in his game system or you also can report about it to TingThing.

I am quite surprised. Did you actually play the explore version of the game, Alley? I tested and tested till I didn't find any bugs. I'm still fixing issues, but I've played it many many times through. And haven't found bugs. What bugs are you finding?
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: CGM on September 03, 2019, 04:01:29 PM
I'm adding more arenas. Bigger ones. Better ones. The current ones are staying BTW. But I'm moving on to bigger better arenas.
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: Alley on September 03, 2019, 09:57:25 PM
I am quite surprised. Did you actually play the explore version of the game, Alley? I tested and tested till I didn't find any bugs. I'm still fixing issues, but I've played it many many times through. And haven't found bugs. What bugs are you finding?
I always play new Explore games if I notice something. So yeah, I am quite surprised also because I actually played the explore version of your game. I have no friend to play any games with and it needed no more efforts to find bugs than just playing one tournament until to the end. Maybe then sometimes, some PC's may run some games differently than some others...
But okay... I will try to name something that I can remember.
Player shapes can get stuck when being in collision with a solid object, in tiny pathways or with a collision of a ladder. It strived to happen somewhere between the wall and ladder easily but it wasn't too complicated to jump out from there.
Bigger bug can happen with a system that may not be an objective rating who wins. I could die with one player so its lives could be so even -1 but with another player going to 0 it counted lose with that player later. I am not sure if player1 or player2 bugged, however.
I also must be honest that I probably may not understand what happens in your game with all those particles and effect which I also mentioned somehow when we chatted. This results with a fact I actually don't dare to name everything confidently because I may not be objective this way. I just often felt that something is not right when playing and I also didn't bother to focus much more because this game doesn't run very smoothly in my PC and I still also have some limitations with my time. I feel, however, I should let you know about the problem. So if you really work that hard as you say just for finding the biggest bugs from your game then let's say for not being too stark that try to find a cause what results from your system being not objective rating who wins! Then this game should be good enough for me to help you more with focusing harder. :) And please don't be mad, I say that work hard testing before releasing for debugging! I just may mistakenly consider things to be also considering how you have worked with the previous projects. :-\ I am not going to blame your game being laggy because I remember you said your game working smoothly in your PC. :)
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: CGM on September 03, 2019, 10:08:59 PM
The first bug I have no control over. I run into that periodically. The second bug is something that happens on a rare occasion. I don't know what to do to fix it. I have conditionals set that it seems to completely overlook! Thanks for the reports though!
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: Alley on September 03, 2019, 10:22:51 PM
I try to be more helpful though for maybe not being too stark. :-\
(https://i.ibb.co/Ctx66z0/image.png) I couldn't figure out where the player1 is. Considering that in total chaos with only platforms being a solution to be alive and being still alive with all that movement with player1 I say that player1 didn't exist. Also, I suicided with player2 to move on and it caused player2 being the winner. The same happened also at the next level. No player1.
I say there is something seriously wrong with your game. If PB is too limited for you to create this game then try to build this game by doing few things per a certain time amount not building the whole game before you at last will going to test the whole thing!
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: CGM on September 03, 2019, 10:28:32 PM
Oh, I fixed that. Must have forgotten to update it. I'll do that now. It was caused because of death blocks and stuff. If the player actually dies for real, then it won't appear anymore. You see, it's got it's own custom HP system. In order for it to work, the player can't actually die. If this happens again, tell me where it happened in an area.
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: Alley on September 03, 2019, 10:49:23 PM
I see you also have now started to listen to my suggestions if I saw a new button that hints on what to do to move on. :) I also like about how you design that disco light which is blocked by a block.
From starting to play the game again nothing seems to be better, however.
(https://i.ibb.co/9rjFTy3/image.png) Already in a first match (or level), there is for sure a problem when player1 got killed by a barrel that landed on that player and exploded. Player lives were counted from 1 to 0 but were resurrected which also does not result in the next match nor a victory owned by Player2. I also felt down to the pit which caused no death. I may understand that the reason for this may be that I turned off hazards but falling down to the pit still would be more beautiful if it would kill. :) I don't know. For a design reason, you, for example, can add additional blocks to prevent death by falling down if hazards has been turned off. If falling down to the pit should kill no matter if hazards are on or off then this is where the glitch is also.
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: CGM on September 03, 2019, 11:07:13 PM
You are supposed to die in that pit. IDK why that won't work. That's strange about the explosives. IDK why that is happening.
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: Alley on September 03, 2019, 11:11:00 PM
You really should work on it to figure it out or consider to replace your system with another one... I am not going to push you with extra suggestions right now. Fixing those really ugly bugs would result in me to enjoy your game much more. The game idea is not bad at all and it is not complicated to imagine this game work without bugs. It would be amazing. :)
Right now, I saw you updated your game once again but it seems it didn't make anything better. :-\
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: CGM on September 03, 2019, 11:17:06 PM
IDK how to fix either of those bugs. They seem more like PB bugs, then again, not. I have conditionals that are fool-proof. IDK why PB sometimes seems to overlook them.
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: Alley on September 03, 2019, 11:20:57 PM
Then go ask help from TingThing to make sure together if your game is glitchy or PB has a bug somewhere in a system you need to use! I have the same problem right now. Why I still don't release my next update because something which worked properly previously does not currently. Often we can find out that the problem is really in PB.
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: CGM on September 04, 2019, 02:58:27 AM
Yeah. I will report the issues to TingThing.

The landmines? Yeah. I've reported that to TingThing. He hasn't fixed it yet. I am aware of that.
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: War on September 06, 2019, 08:09:09 AM
For now, the game biggest problem is the missing cpu
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai

I agree with this one also completely... :) Although there is no need to emphasize quite everything with a very large text and images.

In class I have a lot better computer so I've tried this game to see what CGM did to it. It's impressive and a lot better that I was expecting. I can be very specific if it's fun or not as I wasn't able to play with anyone and was just a fast test but it's very cool.
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: Antikore on February 18, 2020, 07:17:17 AM
Also, now that I see. Why did you changed some of the sprites? Bombs are now red barrels and the jump shoes are chocolate snacks. It's not bad but I don't know why the change.
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: Antikore on February 18, 2020, 07:26:42 AM

If you want and you explain how the button things work and that I can add more levels.
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: CGM on February 18, 2020, 05:47:42 PM
I don't remember changing those sprites. The red barrels were there from the beginning, and I don't remember changing them. Strange...
An idea just popped into my head- A level editor.

Post by: TingThing on February 19, 2020, 08:35:21 PM
I think we will just have to trust that our users will not be making those kinds of things in their levels. So far, this community has done a good job. But if anything like that slips into the explore section, it should be reported.
And like Antikore suggested, if you have to mention more sensitive words, just speak generically like "private parts" or something like that. Using slang is typically not any better.
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: CGM on February 19, 2020, 09:29:16 PM
CSB is back in development! I've looked it over, and did a bit of work on it, and I've tried my best to resolve these glitches that were reported months ago.
I hope you all enjoy the long awaited update, whenever that gets out. The game really wasn't hard to make since Antikore started it, (though about the only things I still left from his original were the levels, and some of the systems, but I took out about 60% of his stuff and added my own to make it better) and it shouldn't take too long to add in those new characters that I promised. Though that's the last thing I want to work on since making 1 new character is a challenge since I'm working with a bunch of systems built from scratch that are not built into PB at all. (The inner-workings of this game are really amazing, and many of the systems that you'd think were pre-built that I used, I built from scratch.)
I'm hoping that I will be able to create a basic (very basic) level editor that will allow you to place stuff like enemies, character starting positions, spawn blocks, and other stuff, but that may not be able to happen yet until 8.0 for the sake of saving objects.
Please be patient, and I apologize for not working on this game and finishing it. Lets forget the past, and press on into the future!

I installed the latest version of this game today.
I think it needs information at the start screen on the objectives of the game and how you play it.
Also the selector screen needs information as well as you can set goals, but new player may not understand what these goals mean.
I also infer it is 2 player only game, and at selector screen you need to jump up (for both players) to switch cross to a tick to start the game. This took me some time to figure out. (Thus need for some help information at this screen)
Not sure what is goal of 1st level. Ended up confused about what needed to be done, so I just quit out of game.
Title: Re: Crazy Shape Banzai
Post by: CGM on February 20, 2020, 02:21:21 AM
Ever played, "Super Smash Bros" games? This game is similar. The objective is simple. (I will fix all of this in the next update, which will come with at least 1 brand new character, many improvements, new stages, etc)
Your objective is to beat the other player in a fighting match. (There is supposed to be a story, and all of this explained, but that was supposed to be for later.)
The levels are randomly picked (at least, for the moment) and so there is no "first level."
There will be brand new attack/defense moves in the next update.
Press the button you assigned for the pick-up key to place a mine.
I expect to have a new update out with many improvements, in the next few days! :D

Many years ago I played Super Smash Bros on the Wii with a friend of mine, but I'm more familiar with the fangame called Super Smash Flash. If you wanna know more about Smash Bros, I suggest you check out the fangame.
CSB was not my original idea, but rather Antikore's idea. Antikore designed almost all sprites, but I changed how the game worked quite a bit. It was originally a game where you play with a 2nd player (using default PB character sprites, not shapes) and you use guns to fight each other, but you had to dodge many enemies, and each "level" lasted about 5 seconds and then went to the next. It wasn't very fun, even without a friend to play with. So I changed almost everything. I made it into a proper PVP game with smash bros like attributes. Antikore gave the game to me after he felt that the game just wasn't fun, and wasn't exciting/engaging, and he couldn't figure out what to do to make it better. My mind was flooding with ideas for this game, and I put most of them into it. I'm currently finishing up the game with this next update. :)

I do not own a switch. Only a Wii/Wii U. So, that's not possible, unfortunately. :/

You said that you played Mario Odyssey so...

Oh, I meant a demo at a store. It was just a sand kingdom demo that lasts 11 minutes. I don't actually own a switch.

IT'S OUT!
Some features didn't make it into this brand new awesome update due to bugs/glitches.
CHANGELOG for CSB 2.0
Added 1 new character Added 2 new arenas Added a proper nice-looking hud Adjusted many arenas Improved character designs Created particle system and added new effects Re-did title screen Optimized speed for low-end computers Changed how a few things work Added level selector screen (You can choose random, or choose to start with 2 different levels) Added improved character selection screen Added explanations Added new abilities
This update is sure to make the previous update look terrible. I've fixed all bugs I could find and all previously reported bugs. Those of you who were disappointed with the previous update, please check out this greatly improved update. Grab a friend on steam and play with your friends using Remote Play Together! I'm sure you'll have loads of fun.
If you haven't played CSB before, play it now on Platform Builder Explore! EXE will come soon! Thank you all for your support. Once 8.0 is out, I'll release another update along with the features that didn't make it into this update such as the ricochet move for the circle.
In future updates, I'll add more characters (of course a new character means more abilities) more stages, and hopefully someday, a level editor. "A level editor made in Platform Builder!?" Yes, a level editor made in PB. As far as I can tell with the experements I've performed, a level editor may be something that you will see in a future update.
Enjoy and have fun!

I just noticed that CSB had been taken off of explore due to a password I set for beta testing purposes. It's fixed now! ;)

Why? Is it not visible? Try uninstalling, then re-installing it.

Like, if you create a new game, or resume a game, it takes you to the title screen? If you're resuming a game, just create a new game and see if that fixes it. By the way, nothing ever gets saved in CSB. So don't worry about losing progress.

I also tried it today. I had the previous version installed, but it didn't show up in the Explore section. I tried "Check for updates" but this gave me error in downloading
I then tried "Check for updates" again and it managed to download the game list including Crazy Shape Banzai.
I started the game and got to Main Menu. I chose New Game. The game tried to start but then returned back to the Main Menu screen as War555MainsGanon stated.
I then tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but sadly got same results with game not running, but only returning to Main Menu screen.
Try it yourself CGM and you will find that game does not start.

Strange. When I published it, I couldn't find it either. I had assumed I fixed that when I updated it. But I talked with a friend and he was able to locate the game with no problems. The game runs fine in my own files, but I cannot access Explore! I tried clicking on check for updates, but it slowly increased in percentage, then later crashed. Now I can't access Explore. This is a problem.

I've found there is a difference between running the game from your own files and running the game in 'Explore'. So as a recommendation whenever you publish a game always test it in the 'Explore' section to make sure it plays correctly.
The 'Explore' section crashing whilst 'Checking for updates' also happened to me so I had no access to any 'Explore' games. However with help from TingThing I managed to recreate the 'Explore' section.
On your PC, in the run edit box type %LOCALAPPDATA% and press <enter> This will bring up File Explorer. Go to the PlatformBuilder folder within this folder go into the Explore sub-folder you should see a lot of game and sandbox sub-folders etc...
optional step: backup all these files elsewhere
then delete all these files. This should clean the Explore section and next time you run Platform Builder try 'Check for updates' again and you should be able to download the list successfully.

Thanks for the help! I knew how to access that folder, since I've had to do that many times in the past. I had a feeling I'd have to erase all explore data, though, I wish I didn't have to. BTW, for those of you reading this who don't know how to open the run dialogue box, just press WIN+R. That'll bring it up.
