wow

[quiggie]

double wow - think we're gonna be spoilt this easter :v2_dizzy_clapping:

[xelanoimis]

Triple wow :)
I really like your attention to graphic details, colors and how you combine the tiles.
Good luck with the game!

[Adz.M]

Quattro wow! :v2_dizzy_happy:

I second what Alex has said, I love the graphic details, especially on the river and museum! :)

[pamuch]

CINCO WOW
and Alex is right your attention to detail is again WOW

[Meph]

You can tell who's game it is by just looking at the screenshots.. (having played volcano) its the style.

[Colin]

Thanks everyone! :v2_dizzy_happy:

I've been thinking about calling it 'Summer Trouble Dizzy'

[delta]

i've said this already, but i'll echo what everyone else has said, in that you really do produce some amazing graphics! and also seem to be able to easily come up with uses for tiles that are not immediately obvious to others (including me!). :v2_dizzy_clapping:

i'm not sure about the name tho...

[DizzyFanUK]

Cool - Looks Awesome

This comp is gonna be real treat.

May want to rename tho, initials are: STD,
as a thought - maybe if your previous game wasnt set on an island - the STD would be VD?

[Colin]

it's most likely not going to be that.. LOL!

here is the story :-

Zaks is about to go on his summer holiday, but is his own special way, he doesn't want want the yolkfolk to miss out on some fun. He has hidden 5 explosive devices throughout the village (isn't that sweet!). The only way to de-fuse them, requires a unique code key (which too are hidden). As a treat you get to control, not only Dizzy, but the rest of the Yolkfolk as well. This will help as some items are only accessible by that character.

[Adz.M]

Looking at the story line, "Summer Blast Dizzy"? :v2_dizzy_confused2:

[poostoot]

Another WOW! :v2_dizzy_jawdrop:
Looks good colin.
All these games on the way, roll on easter :drool::v2_dizzy_yahoo:

[Colin]

Thanks! :v2_dizzy_happy:

"Summer Blast Dizzy" hmm, yes I like that one! :v2_dizzy_thumbsup:

[Colin]

[Meph]

i wonder how Grand dizzy got there!
:D

[Humbert]

Ever look at someone else's game and realize you should just give up? I'll never ever create something that looks this good!

Well done, Colin! You really are pushing for two years in a row, aren't you?

[delta]

i know exactly what you mean! but it just makes me go back to my game and redesign bits of it. anyway it's not just about the looks.

O_O

That's all I can say :D

[DizzyFanUK]

Looks Great,

Im intrigued by this room
- It looks like the only way in is from above - but how do you time your drop down into the room and then jump across ledges without getting wet? - is there a hint here that Dizzy will be using a wetsuit?

And how do you get out again? - Assume the rocks on the rhs are not tooo steep to climb out of? or do we have a leaner dizzy that can squeeze thu the gap at the bottom?

can't wait....:v2_dizzy_clapping:

Hey! you been reading my game notes?.. Oops, said too much!

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

Hi all again, taken a look back on the site, a lot has been happening lately...im very worryingly under the stark threat of redundancy like so many casualties in this almighty mess of the economic downturn the country seems to be in now in the recession :v2_dizzy_down:

Anyway Great looking screenshots Colin, particularly the museum, very artisitc. Looking great.

[Colin]

Oh man! fingers crossed it doesn't happen. But the world is in such a state, I don't think anyone's job is safe these days :v2_dizzy_scared:

[Colin]

well I got tired of looking at the default HUD. Oh and the game is now, officially called Summer Blast Dizzy!

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/colin.page33/loading.gif

[delta]

woah.....! :v2_dizzy_eek:

[Humbert]

Right there with you, Delta.

Excellent work, Colin! Really fantastic.

[Adz.M]

:v2_dizzy_jawdrop:

[Meph]

:v2_dizzy_thumbsup:

[delta]

so when are you going to officially enter it into the compo then? (assuming you are!)

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

Oh man! fingers crossed it doesn't happen. But the world is in such a state, I don't think anyone's job is safe these days :v2_dizzy_scared:



Thanks Colin me too, & yes it does seem like that

[Meph]

We all love a big BOOM.

[Adz.M]

[delta]

[Colin]

Yes I did!

[Adz.M]

Oh dear, now look what I've started! :v2_dizzy_lol: :v2_dizzy_blush:

But a very artistic piccy Mr. Colin :p

[delta]

he's edited it to include a tail!

[Colin]

I know, I forgot it! :v2_dizzy_blush:

You can't have Basil without his brush! :D

[Colin]

adz.m, can you update the site with a fixed character tile pack. The walk tiles to dylan, denzil and grand dizzy weren't quite right.

Ta!

Character tile pack (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/colin.page33/pak_tiles_yolkfolk1.zip)

macon, you might want to update!

[delta]

I know, I forgot it! :v2_dizzy_blush:

You can't have Basil without his brush! :D

oddly i think it looked better without one...

[Adz.M]

[xelanoimis]
