Custom Ragdoll v1

hello yall im makin a new game i dont think ive seen one before.

ive got a few preset characters with a special move:

bruce lee - stomp

chuck norris - double speed + health

m. bison - flight

hulk - hulk smash (lol)

bushido brown - back hand

benny the jet - jet kick

nacho! - standing kick (lol)

mr. t - dunno yet… something to do with foos (lol) maybe a taunt? that makes the oponent jump?

steven segal - i would make him able to break arms, legs or necks but thats kinda hard with ragdolls =P instead i made his pony tail a weapon (lol)

jean claude van damme - the splits (lol)

optimus prime - dunno yet… maybe a beam sword?

i think thats it but theres more to come… at your request =P

anyways. like the name of the game says. you CAN make your own ragdoll =OOO

theres 2 stock characters with customizable head for the first one:

heads:
headphones
tophat
bald
touqe
-pending- (maybe a mohawk)

bodies:
white T
white T w/ overalls
scenekid sweater

for the second character:

heads:

mohawk (small)
bald
white hat

-pending- maybe a shirt this time =P
-pending- i know your thinking what i am…ROBOT ARM =)

legs:

im thinking of adding sliders to be able to change the color of your clothing but i havent been able to figure it out yet.

ive added a smashbros. style camera (many thanks to andrew) which got me thinking again…smashbros characters?

destructible environment on the way. so far ive got boxes with health pickups in em.
maybe some weapons too? wouldnt be too hard.

ive only made one level so far but its pretty big. its a house. a doll house to be exact =P
1 washroom
1 kitchen
2 bedrooms
1 living room
1 storage room
(lol)

if u have any suggestions please post them.
im not quite ready to put up screen shots but i will in a little while.

Sounds like a great Idea, and you seem to have most of it planned, so good luck! What do you have done so far? It sounds great, and the characters and their special moves seem really funny. Also, the character creation system seems very flexible.

Good luck once again!

Good to see you got the thread out, good luck on this.

Awesome i’m looking forward to it :D. Post a video or demo soon :smiley: I must see it.

hey everyone sorry about late reply ive just been on vacation so i havent been able to work on this game at all. actually ive done everything listed and im gonna make a video demo soon =)
ive never made a video off a computer before im sure i can figure it out if i google it. but does anyone know the best free software?

cool game glad too see its goin this far

Nice idea. Any more info about the ragdoll thing? I’m kinda interested in different uses and applications for them right now.

Concerning the bone breaking for steven segal… I have a concept that should allow the limbs of a character to be governed by ragdoll physics while the rest of the character is action driven so limb paralysis/incapacitation should be possible.

Is there any other source of information for this project?
