Johnny's Adventure [17]

Posted by Nighthawk on Jan. 3, 2007, 10:50 p.m.

Recently, 64Digit members got a taste of the Johnny series, and it didn't do too well. Johnny is a good character, and the concept behind Johnny games has some real potential too. The only one thus far to really meet that potential, has been an Admin of the GMG forums known as tapeworm. His Johnny fan games were surprisingly good, and managed to receive fairly good scores:

Johnny's Odyssey (5.7):

Johnny's Nightmare (7.0):

I hope to make yet another good Johnny game. Johnny's Adventure is going well so far, I've already finished the first world. It's going to be full of mini games and hidden goodies, plus Online Highscores. It's also going to be the first Johnny game with animated sprites, something the latest Johnny game got a lot of criticism for. Anyway, no demo, you won't see it until it's done, but here are some early screenshots:

You can't see it from these screenshots, but some of the graphics are good, and some are bad. (Most of what you see is bad.) They're VERY mix matched, and strange. The theme of all Johnny games is "Weird", and I think this accomplishes the job. Anyway, just to be safe, I'm not releasing it into the archive unless it gets good feedback. (Don't count on it.)

For future reference, this is now a profanity free blog, violators will see their hard earned post counts drop by one if they post anything inappropriate.

What's a "Johnny"?

I don't mean to be mean but The Johnny games are terrible and I sceptical that this will be any better.

I like Johnny.

I'm personally not a fan of Johnny games, but I don't think 64dians 'get it'. The Johnny games are SUPPOSED to be stupid, you should be COMPLIMENTING if they achieve that.

Please, stop making that game or jump of a building.

If a game involves tapping the spacebar to play a part of the game, I'm not playing it.

That's just a mini game, and I did say this one would be different. (To an extent.) But it IS this kind of reaction that's made me decide not to put this in the archive… :|

And Shadow Yoshi… That counts as profanity… :)

Haha, I definitely agree, but they ARE supposed to be like that. They are only worth playing for their unusual enviroment. I understand that that alone is not enough for 64D, so I'm putting some things in it to make it fun.

Yes, you get it. Don't worry Johnny fans, this will be MORE than stupid enough for you. Just because it's fun doesn't mean it makes any sense. :)

Yes, I've been working on it for three days. :D

You should of been working on it for 0 days, because it is doomed to suck just because of what it if.
