New game in development (any suggestion for the title is welcome)

Post by gabriele amore »

Hi there
I am developing a new game in the style of those early 80s Japanese arcade games
it is very simple: you are wolf (or a fox... i am not sure) trying to steal sheeps from a shepherd dog
screen after screen until the last one (maybe there will be a final boss... who knows?)

i am using AGDx mini developed by @highrise based on AGD by Jonathan Cauldwell

hopefully there will be some jolly catchy music (@Lee Bee i sent you a PM about it)
stay tuned
Gab

Best of luck with it, just that single screenshot looks really awesome!

As for name suggestions...
  • Hungry Like The Wolf
  • Sheep Thrills
  • Sheep Shot
  • Sheep Tricks
  • Sheep And Nasty
  • For Fox's Sake
I really like my last one.

I think it should be a wolf. Foxes really don't take sheep! The sprite is great though!

I too am making a game this year, but I think I have been rather sensible and haven't given into my childish inclinations to insinuate anything profane. Well, not much.

Uriah Sheep

EDIT: Apparently there's a Finnish band who have used that name also, lol

EDIT2: That would be better if you played a Sheep though not a Fox.

Laurence Fox then? Although he is a well known racist of course and I don't think he will sue after losing a court case the other day... the big racist. Dunno what Linda Barker sees in him tbh :(

EDIT: Whoops, Liz Barker. Phew, thought it was Linda Barker for a minute lol, that would be tragic.

Also relieved it's not Liz Barker the former Blue Peter presenter most known for doing the voice acting/commentary for Buzz Junior: Jungle Party

LOL he was also married To Billie Piper she really knows how to pick 'em lol

By the way, that wasn’t my idea. It was Pete’s back on page 1.

I can't unsee these suggestions as dodgy to very dodgy adult film titles.
