About the Maelstrom Project

Hey all, this is about my latest game project, Maelstrom! It is going to be (like trident) a story-driven side scrolling action shooter. But that is pretty much where the similarities end. The game will be released on a episodic basis, so when I decide to start, one episode will be released every other monday (or longer, depending how long the episode is). To play the next episode, you will just download the game and replace the last episode with it. You will be able to go back and replay earlier episodes by selecting games you saved during that previous episode through the load game selection on the main menu. As for the gameplay and story, I have a rough giude of the first 50 episodes, mostly in the form of cartoons drawn during math class. Each episode will be split up in to 3 or more stages. At the end of each episode, a new character will be unlocked, and you will be able to play as it in the next episodes. Also, you can unlock secret characters, which you can only play as during that episode. Each character will have it's own weapons, strengths, and weaknesses. In addition to character-specific weapons and abilities, you will be able to get special weapons and abilities for any character that you can only use in one episode. I'm not sure when episode one will come out, probaly in a few weeks.

Does that make any sence at all? Post your questions/comments!

LOL !!!!! ur seriously making a game off of your notebook drawings??? Put in the stuff i drew in the background too! Also, is it posible to playy as the dude who takes ur credit card and charges 1 mil dollars on it for noodles? lolz!

PS: if we get to pick characters I CALL BOB IN THE SHADOWS!!! xD

glad you like the idea .

Yes, you will be able to play as almost every character from the comics, and more! Evil miget natzis with gas-masks, anyone?

BTW I've used names of people from the mac - modding community as character names, it does not mean anything about how I feel about that person, I was just desprate for names. If any one does not want me to use their name, just tell me and I'll change it.

Current people's names that i'm using: Shadowkahs, explosive american, noodle, bobindashadows (ok fine, maybe the use of that name does represent how I feel about him), The Simple Minded One (macsforevers's old thing from halomods), and some more I can't remember.

umm. Use my name!!! Baxter. And make it like evil or something. LOL.

Bobintheshadows was a real person, you know. He made some kewl mods at forums.halomods.com back in the day.

I like your project, Warhampster. I will gladly draw any robot sprites if you want.
Im awesome with drawing mechanical stuff.

Yea.... umm.. Im talking about a drawing sam made during studyhall. I sat next to him when he made it OMG!!! xD lol.

Scanner? take a pic!? I MUST SEE IT

Umm Sam? can u scan it or something so he can see the original you made? (you can see sum stuff i did too!!! xD ) since he has bad handwriting. No offense. I guess u can see it if i didn't rip it up or it hasn't been slobered on by Ross or ... Sam. lol. Btw, Ross is grimreaper.

The comics are extremely violent and unnessaraly bloody. And there are some mesed up parts involving angles, the main character, and a chainsaw. Need I say more?

BTW I know who bob is AND I HATE HIM . He gets his head cut off and then squished with a big hammar!

BTWBTW Baxter where did u get that avatar? I reconize it from halo mods

Holy Shitola!!!!! I can't believe you stopped doing trident! BTW make me a character, like Lucian the vampire slayer from Lunar Knights (best game ever)

Hey ilikebagels, why are you using Lambadas avitar!?
Hes gonna be hella pissed if he finds out.

Dude, I love lunar knights!! Will you let me make a spoof level of it for you?

go for it.

pheonix, you are obsessed with luner knights! what is so great about it? (other than having solar powered rocket lounchers, machine guns and other solar weapons (how does the sun creat missles anywhay?)).

lambada err whatever can blow me. Also, hampster your project sounds like a good idea.

Lunar knights is awesome because
1.1 You can behead zombies and it is rated e 10 +
1.2 You can get a scythe for a weapon that is named Hel!!!!!

2.will Maelstrom be a mac exclusive?
2.2 If it is, If I can find a way to convert it to windows, will you let me?

3. will characters be able to "level up" in between episodes?

4. will you be able to play old levels with new characters?

5. will the game be serious or funny

Maelstrom is mac exclusive

there is no way to convert it to windows, so of course you can! ( )

No level ups, it would take to long to make

Yes every 10 episodes i will re-release them with the new characters

the game will be mostly funny (ask cool - whip lol)

Now excuse me, I have to get back to watching Azu Manga Dioh!

I'm so excited!
