Incorrect. See the first post for the real list.

Edit: Just to make sure you know, this is Brookshire Meadows (BsM for short), the new one. Not RV or RG.

Ok, so this is a simple image for my possible layout in my head. http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/7951/bmmap.png Any thoughts so far? Edit: I think I should slow down for a second, 'cause there's only 2 other people posting, and I already have a map. So everyone else go ahead and comment, I'm waitin...

Hey Neko, nice characer. Now some else should post in the RP thread. So anyway, it sounds like we're in agreement on the nature preserve. I think it should be to the east of the town, and have a road and fence between it and the house. Anyone mind if Rikki is the Ranger's pet? It works for his backs...

RockstarRaccoon

Hmm, well since its on the edge of a nature preserve, maybe we could go for a sort of Civilization style go? Like, the neighborhood is sorta parked, but it could be the jump-off point for a bunch of expedition into "The Wild" (ie: the nature preserve) where pets could romp around, play ma...

Heh... I'll say... How long until we start this thing? This has had a longer planning period than a D&D game... So I had a thought about this Brookshire Meadows neighborhood. We could have it on the edge of a nature-preserve, which would make a really good environment for the RP. Thoughts? Uh, ...

Welcome to the Brookshire Meadows Out of Character discussion thread. We are a join-by-request neighborhood, so you need to ask in here before you join. Please read the important info of this first and follow the directions to join. Setting Brookshire Meadows is a small suburban development which s...

(( New People: Please look at and post in the OOC Thread before you post in here. We have a map and character stuff in there. )) It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon in Brookshire Meadows. The birds were chirping and a pleasant breeze was rustling through the trees, and the occasional soft, fluffy cl...

I don't care what house he gets (though I'd like one on a corner), but I've got one "reserved' for Rikki there, right? Does he need to be a PYROMANIAC?!?!? :shock: I think that's exactly what we DON'T want.... I must protest! K-Bar the Pyro sounds like an AWESOME Character! He doesn't have to b...

Sorry, forgot you guys aren't in on the IRC stuff. Next neighborhood.

Edit: also, I made an edit.

RockstarRaccoon

Ok, so, as discussed in IRC, I'm going to try this. Here is character: Name - Rikki Species - Raccoon (North American) Age - 33 (9.5 human years) (appears to be about 41 in pet years: 11 human years) Gender - Male Neighborhood - Brookshire Meadows Appearance - Pretty much a large, gray, North Americ...

K. I'll send you a PNG of my sig when I get home: I'm in Ft Lauderdale, visiting my parents right now.

RockstarRaccoon

Well, that's what I use. I'm not going to port it to other systems until it's more than just a player sprite running around... But I'm a PC >_< Oh, don't worry, a Linux port shouldn't be far behind the Mac one, as the system also has straightforward API, so it will be playable on a PC. Well, that's...

RockstarRaccoon

You're gonna need people to beta test it, right? RIGHT? :shock: Yeah, like I said, I'll have a playable demo out soon. Edit: Mac Users with SDL and XCode will get to play first.

maybe the box has little feet like a caterpillar? suction cups? lol jk. Have you guys ever tried to program a robot in C? Yes, that was one of the things my programming teacher pulled out for us when he got bored when I was getting my tech-degree in programming. I don't think it was that hard... Wh...

RockstarRaccoon

Almost reminds me of the old SNES or Genisis platformer games [although that's what platformer usually is like, right? :lol: ]. Is this going to be multi-platform? [I think you're using C?] YES. My main influence for this game was actually Sonic 3 and Sonic Adventure, and I'm taking alot of hints f...

RockstarRaccoon

I did not notice the acceleration and deceleration thing going on this time, but other then that, it seems you are making some progress with the sprites on the game. I wonder what you will use for enemies and traps for Marco. Oh, lots of interesting concepts right now. I have enemies which can dig,...

At the time I am posting this, this is not finished uploading, but this is the game so far. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V-UA8YtsYc I think it's funny that most of the changes from the previous version that I don't mention are not obvious from the video. I have some basic Hammer experience...you ...

And the Crowing Moments of funny is: https://www.housepetscomic.com/2008/10/06/ode-on-a-kitty-tummy/ I still giggle at the one. Grape's expression in the last panel, priceless. Someone in my english class used that one in a presentation. He doesn't read it, but I was like, "WHAT?" Maybe y...

RockstarRaccoon

So, I'm almost at the point where I'm going to make another video of the game. I was curious if anyone knew where I might find help with some sprites, as it's a bit difficult to draw them all on my own. I'm trying to get someone I know who wants to learn how to make professional games like this to h...

Still mad at Rick for breaking his habit and breaking my heart. :<

I GET IT. I TOTALLY GET IT NOW. This makes much more sense than King having an interest in her as anything more than a friendly dog. I must complain though that it was one arc ago that I posted that little comic describing your writing style and you're already deviating! >:| More seriously though, a...

RockstarRaccoon

SO. I know I already said this on IRC, but it's very important to me: I noticed that in the last panel of the one with the Unicorn statue, Sasha says "I AM a Girl!" but then she adds "I think..." To the end of it. Could this be some incredibly clever insight into the world which ...

But I LIKE the Cheshire Cat. It's cool. That was the entire point of this 3:00 AM thread. (I think...)

RockstarRaccoon

Maxwell makes me think of the Cheshire cat with that grin that he has. (seen in my avatar, but it's even bigger in earlier ones) Anyone ever noticed the similar design concept? He also, now that I think about it, looks like a younger, less dead version of the Cheshire Cat in American McGee's Alice. ...

Introduce a bunch of new characters: you know you want to. Edit: I see we're talking about making money off the comic. My advice is to do what I do: make money off what you can and don't worry about the rest. You have merchandise and all that right? What about publishing a few arcs in a book? It's n...

Hey, thanks for the feedback guys! Working on the game even further right now, there should be a playable tech-demo in a few weeks. It's amazing how many computer programmers and developers we have on this forum. :P We like teh internet. It kind of looks like Sonic the hedgehog, but more complex. Is...

I think Maxwell is a pretty cool guy, he trolls neighbor-pets and doesn't afraid of dating Grape. I also think he looks cool, especially the bell thing and the smile. That's a plus when you think of a comic as "pleasant imagery". i think housepets forum is a pretty cool guy, eh does memes...
