Well, a few of you know that I've started the sequel to Mr Stumps Dentures. You'll either be giving a hurrah, a booooo! or a "meh, don't care".
I've decided to show a pretty early video of what you might expect from MSD2: Tooth Decay, as it shall be known. And I'm not going to advertise too heavily on it as I did with MSD1. Just a few forum posts, but no news submissions to sites like Klik-Me, or my own site. For the reason that people expected highly of the first game, which failed to deliver (thanks in part to me, and to continual news posts at Planet Klik, Total Klik and Klik-Me). Still I thought you might want to know whats going on, so here's the video. (3.somethingMB)
Sweet level design, I like that factory-cement-waterfall palace style area, but if you don't put a save, even a password system in, consider your family DEAD. Orrr not.

That's great to hear! However, this time, include module music instead of poor-sounding MIDIs. And yes, I agree: the first game was overhyped. When I saw the video, it was playing real cool music, and I thought it would actually be part of the game! O.o Then, I was a bit disappointed that it just had MIDIs. I was also a bit confused that it had no save game feature.
Well, I hope you look into those things. It would make this game a whole lot better.

Don't forget that MSD1 was a game in which Mr Stump had to jump into his own mouth...

ahh the music burns my ears!
looks nice and all but don't you think it's time for a break from this sort of game? there's more in you than platformers with blocky outline graphics, i'm sure of it
I too think you should actually try a different kinda game. Besides Mr Stump's dentures wasn't very special, not that you didn't put much effort into it
It looks fun. I, for one, like a good double outline sprite.
If it's as challenging as the first and can incorporate a save system for the decidely less hardcore without watering down the gameplay, make mine MSD2.
AY III! Please, no path movements, it'd not only be funnier, but more interesting to play with enemies that fall to their deaths and jump at you. Bigger enemies, that is also a consideration I'd like to agree with.

Looks good Circy. If you haven't yet read my comment at Klik-Me, I particularly like the variation in the environments. I hope you still keep the health bar and collectable health packs ideas from MSD, it's surprisingly rare to find mario-style games with more than one or two hits' worth of health.

yup, Evil Monkey is bang on the mark there. The mines ARE the Pacmen... but as I mentioned I dont really want MSD2 to be a parody... I want it to be its own game
I would have done it in AVI, but the file size would be much bigger. To prove a point, I made a video, about 8 minutes long, and it was 86MB in wmv, with extremely high quality. I made the same video in .AVI and the filesize was 1.2GB. Seriously.
Em... what's wrong with .wmv? I'm pretty sure that .wmv files have better and more lossless compression than DivX. Besides, Windows Media Player doesn't automaticly download the DivX codec.

Yes, but try running a wmv file on a linux box. And it's in MP9 format, which is brand new and requires MP9. Media player sucks. BS Player is a god among Media Players, and it's easier to run a divx file on (for example) a 133mhz than it is to even open MP9.
I don't care about Linux. MMF can't run under Linux, can it? And it's a dying OS. Also, I shouldn't have to worry about my computer not being able to open a WMP9 file, as it has 2.4 GhZ and a 256 MB RAM video card.
Um... I sense a flamewar is coming!

i have 2 hours worth of Pheonix Nights compressed onto a 128mb SD card to watch on my pocket PC . nothing else compares till they release a free DivX movie player for PPC
I USE DIV X
to be honest i use EVERY important codec
i have got more than 52 codecs on my hard drive but sadly i can't play every wmv movie
there are some WMVs i can play but i can't play all your click WMVs
maybe because it's WMV + divX
i don't know but it really bugs me because i want to see all those trailers
i also don't allow the evil mirco$oft media player to connect to the internet
i don't like spyware
WMVs work fine in Winamp for me. I use that instead of Media player

winamp's greatness got a shitload better when they gave it Windows Media file support.
yeah i use win amp
media player slows down the pc-win amp is faster
sadly i can't watch this video with win amp
well seems like i have to wait for an avi or the full game
looks like circy is into gabba and techno stuff
driving around with that loud music in your car very fast while the car windows are all opened, circy?
I'm already looking forward to this one again Cirx! I do hope it gets better, but you said it would get a save function, and that's the only real lacking of nr. 1 if you ask me. Games are games, simple or complex, and I love games
