Monster Mini Moviez - Episode 1

Well, after a week of sleepless nights and days i prodly present the very first (and in terms of EXE release last) Episode of Monster Mini Moviez.

Ze Moviez are a batch of 13 Short Movies (~1-2 Minutes per episode) created with the A6 Engine and based on Monster Mini Mayhem. The Movies include Characters, Locations and other Stuff from the Game, and are some kind of follow up.

This Episode is the onyl one i will release open source to teh community. All otehr Episodes will be only available in AVI format or DVD or whatever i decide when they are all done.

The code is very well comented and should provide a very easy start for newcomers to code and/or cutscenes with A6.

Special Thanx to ello for his Toon Shader and Mortis for his initial aid.

Here be Screenshots:




NOTE: Some Skins are not completely finnished, but will be in the AVI Version. You can use ALL Code, Graphics and Models I made for free, EXCEPT the Jack and Bones Models (Punpkin-man and skeleton). Stuff made by others i dont know...

Get the EXE here!

well, showcase 2?! i dont think so!

overall it looks okay, but the cartoon look is not implemented consequently!
make everything cartoony so that it will match the cell shaded models or leave it!

I like the style, it's pretty cool.

Small tip: just rotate the trees in pic 3 a little bit (random(360)) and it would look much more pro.

somehow some Moddels where Not textured in the move
Like the guy running and the car and that Pumkin-head
does anyone know why?

they are, but your graphics card seems to not support pixel shader 1.4...

ah ond thanx for the trees comment ill do that^^

I've not posted in a while but I thought I'd search this up.

Now I know that all games take inspiration from others BUT it appears SP|KE is being ripped off entirely, art style and all.

Admitedly theirs is a slightly prettier game but it looks like the same thing.

Lost: nice find. It really seems to be an copy of Sp|kes work, maybe he will contact them, show pics with timestamp and get some cash

I don't think Sp|ke will have any luck there. I don't know when Sp|ke started on it, but this game has been in development for a long time already, I think it switched from Unreal 2 engine to Unreal 3 engine before it got exposed. Anyways, although some things are similar, I don't quite think it's similar enough, besides, did S|ke copyright his stuff by registering it? As far as I know you can't copyright a certain art style (e.a. toon shader look) ...

Cheers

err well maybe its just me but i think it doesnt look like spikes game.

They dont even have a cellshading in it. they use normal chars and spike uses horror chars.
Also it reminds me more about Fighting Force.

Sure they might have the same gameplay - kill people, but i think there is still a big difference between the styles :/

I did'nt saw this machinima.. hehe.. funny (although I don't understand the ending).

Will there be follow-ups?

BTW: I like those two girls on that other game's cover ^^

lol, they are nice but the one on the left seems a bit.... saggy? upstairs if you know what i mean

@Kihaku: It doesn't even seem to have the same gameplay.
In SP|KE's game you kill people and play a "monster".
In the game posted above you are a normal character and kill monster, at least thats how I got it from taking a quick look at the screenshots.

gameplay doesnt include style the gameplay is to kill some "things/humans", thats it. so its propably almost the same.

i also mentioned following:
