That's kinda impossible because I would have to record each notes and stuff, flash couldn't handle really well playing the different notes seamlessly, it doesn't have a sound processor like let's say a game in C++.
I'm sure you noticed that sometimes you get some offsync in Punkomatic 1, imagine on a note by note basis.
The only thing i could think of is various styles of guitar like wah wah or echo.
Kinda like Rock Band
Yeah but then I'd have to record all the riffs with all the effects.
Real games have sound effect processors like EAX and stuff...like with DirectSound.
Flash doesn't have that.
My friend will go crazy when Punk-O-Matic 2 comes out, he loves the first version!
As for ideas... well... maybe customizing clothes, instruments or something...
that's already the plan
Yeah like tacosorburritos said
For those of us (LIKE ME =D) who actually play the guitar, there should be an option to put in tablature, i know it will take more boring work, but it would definitely make the game the greatest thing that ever happened to NG
why don't you grab your guitar and play if you play it haha why go through punkomatic...like I said, note by note is not an option with flash's sound capabilities.
cheers
Character creation would be nice.
Like I said, that's already planned, that's why I asked for people to make logos.
If possible create a database of songs users make that you can listen to by loading. It would be tough, but really worth it.
Yeah that would be awesome, I'll see what I can do. But I plan to make a community website where people can submit their songs and they can be rated and reviewed. In fact it's already there partially... it's www.punk-o-matic.net
I still need to make the song submission part. But it would be even better if you could access those songs in the game directly. but that could be hard you know with domain restrictions and all.
Haha you could always create a "highscore" system that saves the code for the songs, and have that highscore be a string + the song numbers. Then when you load from the highscore table and split the lines properly, you get the title + the song code + date creation w/e. Then you can load anyone's song =)
Yeah, I'll try something with external servers and see what I do about that
YAAAAY!!!!!!!!
i was a big fan of the first POM, spent so much time on it...
so very exicited to see what new things are possible with POM2, though im sorry to say i dont think i have any suggestions that aren't obvious (more music and stage/character customization) or impractical with flash n' such, but im sure you and the community will come up with something wicked.
SO... i hope this and all the rest of the comments will help you stay motivated to make POM2 the best it can be.
Hell, its about time eh?
Yeah it's about time haha it's been on hold for too long :)
over 4 years...that's crazy!
One word.... Career mode.... uh, 2... words.
where you start as a home/school band and you make songs to the set requirements and depending on the structure and compleated requirements you get graded
better grade = more money = better gear = more/better members = more sounds for making better songs = better songs = better gigs
and thats career mode.
then you got good ol' "Rock Out" mode (same as punk-o-matic1) where you can get more stuff from doing the story mode.
also, (I know it's PUNK-o-matic) although I love punk, I'm a Metal Head and would love to see a band style option where you can change the style of your band.
these are just my ideas for kickassedness.
The career mode is built in punkomatic 2...the way you describe it may give me some different ideas though, thanks
when you say band style? do you mean their appearance? if so then you'll be pleased with the character customization :)
by band style i mean the type of music they play e.g. :punk, Metal, rock. (just an idea)
tho it's cool that I'll be able to customize how my members look
haha sorry I'll stick to punk...for now :)
Awesome! If you need ideas, here's a couple:
-bass guitar part?
-more solos/fills for lead guitar?
-people moshing!!
-some ska?
>Jim
Except the ska it's all there :)
oh man, that would be so cool
Punk-o-matic 1 was THE most reviewed portal entry. (mostly cause reviewers are like "hey! listen to my song: 12345---098765!"
Will Punk-o-matic 2 break that record much faster? Most definately HELL YEAH.
Haha, hopefully people will submit their songs to punk-o-matic.net this time :)
one guy seggested to put a clothing method...
well add some tatoos should also be in....
tatoos are there :)
Easter eggs! Make them hard to find, other than the Dude!! scene in the first one. If there are customizable characters, there should be bonus instuments to find as well.
Hmm....interesting! Good idea! I'll see what I can do
MOAR DUDE SCENES xD
Yup :)
DUDE your game rocks ! hurry up and make Punk-O-Matic 2 ! And an idea : make more band members with other music tools , and i am learning to play guiter so i love this game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I won't hurry up, I'll take my time and make it perfect :P
I plan to include guitar tutorials for people learning guitar, that should help
Your game is awesome dude you should hurry up to make Punk-O-Matic 2 .
and an idea : Make more band members with other tools ... and also
make Pop-O-Matic LOL .
Pop? eww....
lol but seriously
ideas:
for the story line[so it has one] make it like where the first one was a audition for some punk rock out and your band made it to the next round :D
then im deff thinking a OUTDOOR stage with some huge ass speakers on the sides.
for backgrounding have it to where like you can be looking at the stage but then if you want you can swivel around and look out into the crowd like you was up on stage and then its easter egg hunting time! make it like when you click on someone or thing it has this chain of funny events you would see at like x-fest :P
ive heard you have customization covered already so ill skip that
i was thinking maybe if you wanted to you could select what your punks are playing like guitarists got a gibson or flying v or double neck, so on and so forth.
id also like cooler lighting effects than the first one but its not ALL about the lights i was thinking maybe adding some type of lazer rock show type thing with the mouse,.
click a option and the screen goes dark while the music you are made is playing then with some cool mouse effects make it light up the stage man!
im just pickin stuff outta my head for most of this but im deff here if you liked an idea and wanted more of what i was thinking or didnt quite get what i ment.
Most of what you say is kinda there...but you propose some gamplay that contradicts the gameplay that's already there. But better lights will be there. Lights that fit with the music :)
