PW makes What-If game? With Ostrichs?

puddingwrestler · June 28, 2009, 04:21:03 AM

I was mucking around with the Random Video Game Name Generator this arvo, and came up with 'Imperial Ostrich Hot Pursuit', so I speculated with a mate over MSN as to how the game would work and... well... he suggested a game in which you chase down arch duke ferdinand on an ostrich to assassinate him.
So I'm making it.
THe scenario? What if the assassins missed Ferdinand and gave pursuit - on Ostriches of course! Now the Arch Duek is well defended. There are machine-gun side car ostrichs and rocket warlsuses which drop exploding hedgehogs. And all the graphics are photoshoped (actually in Illustrator) from old black and whit photos. part from the ones photoshopped from colour photos. Which have been turned black and white.
Here are some images:

Ostrich Assassins!

Imperial MG Ostrich!

Rocket Walrus (smaller in game)

I've now got all the image together and will soon start the actual game. although I'll almost certainly add other crazy graphics later.

Bartender, I'll have whatever he's drinking.

The name generator gave me "Wandering Octopus Fantasy" as a game name.

I feel all dirty now!

That's nothing: I got Erotic Acid X-Treme!

Not sure I want to think too deeply about that one.....

The best one though was Ninja Lawnmower Inspector: "Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaalcast!"

Wicked!

Very, very cool. That just begs to be built. Especially the side-car ostrich!

That name generator is pretty cool, too.

I had a go also, and my favourite three were:
unholy chipmunk conspiracy;
the six million dollar landmine dancers, and
mighty frog explosion.

good laugh to be had.
Cheers PW

ARGGGGH what have you started???

I just got "Incomprehensible Bazooka College":

puddingwrestler · June 28, 2009, 04:38:27 PM

My favs so far ahve been 'Bling BLing Biplane Quest' and 'Everybody hates the racoon farmer'.

And, of course, 'Smooth Jazz GT', the game our parents wish we'd been playing instead of doom

I've got most of the game play in place now, but need to make it more challenging. It should nto take to long, I'm just implimenting the perlious pits of peril

IMPERIAL OSTRICH: HOT PURSUIT is now available to play free at yoyogames. You need to download a plugin for firefox (don't know if it works on IE) and be using a PC. THe Linux and Mac versions of the freeplay plugin are not done yet.

Sensual Railroad Trainer

Narcoleptic Flatulence Racer

Tiger Woods' Worm in the Dark (I found that actually rather disturbing

)

"no one can stop the frog express"
strangely enough i have just restarted work on this

PW MSN's me to tell me that the "cyborg matador overlords" stand a good chance of stopping the frog express.
I think resistance is futile however

PanzerWulff · June 29, 2009, 09:23:59 AM

Ok I got
"Amish Ninja Master of the Middle East"
"Cuthulu's Magical Gnome Jamboree"
and "Flatulent Walrus Forklift Rally 6"
ROFL

"Panzer"
