Games created with Backbone

amigapd · 05 June 2011, 23:27

After our SEUCK game competition ends we will launch a Backbone game design competition - before then I would be interested to know about existing games created with Backbone -

If you have completed a game with Backbone or know of games made with this package can you please provide details in this thread about them and where to download them from.

I will then create a top ten (hopefully there are enough games to make a top ten) similar to the SEUCK list to provide some inspiration before the competition launches.

@amigapd

PM Cammy, I'm sure she used Backbone and had some friends who were designing some games using it... mind you I haven't seen Cammy on EAB for a while... still, worth a go.

I have been playing around with backbone for a few weeks now. Its a bit sluggish at times but has bags of potential. I'm starting work on my game asap

Is th source available? There are tools to convert code from AMOS to Blitz, and from there, it could be optimised for speed which AMOS could never ever hope to achieve.

Thank for the mention.

It's called 'Cornelius saves Christmas' by the way.

I had so much fun making this game I intended to create some more using Backbone, but the complete lack of feedback discouraged me. I think I am to blame for this because the first stage is a bit too hard and perhaps people give up on it on first try. It should have been something like 4th or 5th.

longplay of Charly the Merc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MzWpBdSCoY

s2325 · 09 September 2012, 09:34

Gameplay of Statoscuro (High quality graphics with smooth robot animation and excellent music but all battles are almost face to face because of short view range.): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROvp98qRyM8

s2325 · 09 September 2012, 14:02

Gameplay of Death is on the Way (You can play different levels if you choose samurai instead of ninja. You can meet Mortal Kombat characters - Scorpion, Raiden, Sub Zero. Not bad game.): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-YjaUDWKDM

hipoonios · 09 September 2012, 16:22

Death is on the Way seems to be created by the same programmer who did Charly the Merc.

I will make a longplay of that game too soon.

s2325 · 09 September 2012, 20:26

Halloween Nightmare (Beautiful pixel art, good music and playability, I think it's true gem in Backbone games.): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ3jMUbh7Ms
Power of the Ginger (Platform game playable even with mix of graphics - nice and crappy.): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JfWkQ6wncs

Fallout looks cool.
Thanks for the link.

s2325 · 18 September 2012, 08:12

I think Tuesday is most complicated Backbone game as it's action mixed with adventure.

Longplay of Fallout 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6u2YncjXr4 I think someone had too much free time.

Indeed. This game is pretty bad.
