Title: Introducing: A Dreamlike Story
Post by: TheGucc on April 17, 2018, 10:53:10 PM
What is A Dreamlike Story?

A Dreamlike Story is the first AUS group project conceptualized since AUSEP! It features:
-40 new areas!
-new soundtracks!
-new species of fish!
-Bosses and slime!

How is development?

We're talking original AUSEP level development. Many nerfs and spaghetti jars are needed. Which is why we're asking for new people on the team! People we have are currently:

-FlameVapour (Main Leader)
-DT
-TheGucc (me)
-Random-Storykeeper
-Rare Pickle

We pretty much only need programmers, more MIDI makers and maybe BGS drawers as we only have like one boss lol.

What do the areas look like at the moment?

Terrible. Like catsick in a spaghetti jar. However, plans have been made to redraw the areas. We are slowly improving!! (Take NightZone, DryLands, SlimeSwamp for example).

So gimme a jingle if you're interested! We mainly use very old Game Maker 8 and I'm assuming everyone here uses GM studio or something equally as fancy.

Have any previews?

Yes we do! However, they mainly show the catsick BGS and earlier stages of development:





Also here is the discord we communicate on JOIN IT

Most of them are pretty much filler lol, we're still working on shortening the amount of areas!!

im guessing it was the kind of thing where people were just comin up with random area names all day like
GreenTown
SpaceCave
UnderGround
MushroomMeadow
and they came up with 40+ areas and now they have to figure out which ones are actually worth implementing

Title: Re: Introducing: A Dreamlike Story
Post by: TheGucc on April 18, 2018, 09:23:19 PM
truer, at least most of those areas aren't really all that filler (hell most of them have a boss)

the thing that kills me about those ausep maps is they bothered to make the lil room connections lol
Title: Re: Introducing: A Dreamlike Story
Post by: hubol on April 18, 2018, 10:03:26 PM
oh and the sheer size of the areas is pretty good too

Title: Re: Introducing: A Dreamlike Story
Post by: hubol on April 19, 2018, 12:14:37 AM

tbh one of the things that always bothered me about the aus map was the inability to fill up the whole thing

f'real though this definitely looks like

well it looks like a project alright

i can't really say anything about the quality of what's goin' on so far, it's still early so i don't expect the areas to be all that fleshed out
but it just kinda seems like things are just       there     to be there and not really provide anything interesting or challenging

good luck though, not sure if modding the original game will make things any easier or harder considering how outdated GM7 is, porting it to GMS is probably gonna break half of the things in the game

we probably won't anything super fancy to the game, it's most likely just going to follow the main algorithm of aus

forgot auos existed for a second there lolol, my bad

also we operate in gm8 lol

like i said, development is very similar to ausep was, we're working on it!
