It's definitely been a while since someone posted here, or since anything has happened for that matter, what happened, the site's been dead for like 2 years, ah well, I might as well post it anyway.
After a month of trying to publish it, the Rossies 2 demo is out now and available for download!
I finally fixed the problem I was having.
By this point, most of yous are starting to think I'm bluffing about all this and that I'm not actually making a game, but this demo should hopefully prove that I HAVE done something. Ok, sure, it took a hell of a long time, and it may not be worth it in the end, but at least it'll prove that I've been working on something, and that I'm not just sitting on my A*se all day playing video games.
Please keep in mind however, this demo is to showcase the gameplay and how much faster it is, the graphics haven't changed much, only the shotgun, I'm going to release another demo with the improved graphics closer to the full game's release.
To play the demo, go to the Gamerstorm Website at http://www.gamer-storm.co.nr and click on the Rossies 2 logo, then click on "Demo", but remember to read the instructions first, or you can click here: http://www.gamerstorm.elementfx.com/Rossies 2/Rossies 2 Demo 0.5.zip

Hi guys, I thought it'd make a Development Blog for my upcoming games, this will be a new article series. Hey, it keeps me updating the site, right? Now I only there's someone who actually reads these... Anyway, I'm having a some problems with the coding, as I can't get the Kruncanites to show/draw, usually at this point I'd give up, but I'm not, I'm surprised by that as well, anyway, I'm looking into that problem, but everything else is working fine, and this game has a new convienient feature that the origonal didn't, it actually PAUSES! That's right, I managed to get the game to pause properly, so that's an improvement. I could never do that on Scratch, well maybe I could, I'll try for the Scratch version of Rossies 2, but let's not get off topic. As for other changes/improvements to the origonal, some of which have already been made, and the rest I have already started working on:
- It will have a menu screen with more game modes
- It will features custom made sprites and music, I'm gonna make sure everything custom built, I don't wanna infringe any copyright, it's gonna be on Steam (Hopefully) and Xbox Live Arcade, and I'm gonna be making money from this y'now, I could actually get sued by using 3rd party content, so I better be especially careful.
- It will have a higher resolution: The origonal had a 480 x 360 resolution, Rossies 2 will have a 1280 x 720 resolution, huge improvement, isn't it?
- More overall content, Scratch only allows up to 10mb, XNA allows up to 150mb, not to mention the games take up less space, This game gives a great example of this, The Scratch version of Rossies 2 so far is 6.54mb, the PC/Xbox 360/Zune version of Rossies 2 as it is right now is only 5.45kb, I'm not joking!
So far I only have the Gun on the screen and the background, even then, the Gun doesn't animate perfectly, but for a Betas sake, it'll do for now. Here's a Screenshot:  Looking alright, isn't it? Sure, it's not using those "custom made" images I mentioned erlier, but those are for later, right now, I'm focusing on the gameplay, no point doing otherwise, I would bore you to death explaining now, but it's best that leave it. Also, I've made a new logo for the game, I've basicly grabed the Rossies logo, and added a 2, not much, but I thought I'd show you it anyway: 
So, that's it for todays blog, cya next time!
Cobra!
Oh, and one more thing, I want to contact General Mckenzie or at least someone who's been with the Rossies since it started, in anyway I can (Preferably MSN or AIM) so we can discuss plans for storylines for future rossies games, I want to get some info about Rossies when it first started, because I wanna make a rossies game that takes plaace when it was first founded, before any of this Kruncrarian shenanigans. |
Just a quick(ish) update, as I've been messing around C# for a while, I found an add-on called "XNA Game Studio" Which Allows me to develop Xbox 360 games, I'm not too fond of the console, but still, wow, I can develop console game. If I have apporval from the General himself, I might make an Xbox 360 Port to Rossies 3D when I go and make that. (Don't worry, Rossies 2 isn't cancelled, and I'll do anything I can to make sure it comes out!) I've been taking a part time course on beginners C#, and while I was fiddling about with it a few days ago, I came across this add-on called "XNA game studio" which allows me to Make Proper Windows and Xbox 360 Games. So yeah, It's really hard, but I'm dedicated to do it! For more information, click here: http://www.gamerstorm.ucoz.net/news/gamerstorm_games_on_xbox_live_arcade/2010-05-31-272 Cobra! |
Today is the 20th of May 2010, which is Torso Appreciation Day. As the name suggests, you must do something to appreciate all the Pyxes around the world, Big Mama, the "children" and anything else 'Pyx' to celebrate Torso Appreciation Day. For Torso Appreciation Day, I decided to design my own version of the MGS4 cover, featuring the Pyx (or skeleton torso, big boss, the corpse or whatever you call it). I changed the title, calling it "Plastic Cog Soft 4: Packaging of the Skeleton Torso". Here it is...  What will YOU do for Torso Appreciation Day? |
Here It Is... Sort of... The Kruncrarian Translator!
Ok, I decided since 1. I wasn't doing anything with it, and 2. Other companies release their BETA translators anyway, so It's not too much of a surprise, right?... Right?...
Anyway, Here's the Translator, be sure to read the project notes, I can't be bothered re-typing it here:
Learn more about this project
As For Rossies 2. Yep, That's Right! The Infamous Rossies game will FINALLY get a sequal!
now Rossies 2 will have 2 differant versions, PC CD/Downloadable and Scratch. Both version have differant subtitles, the Scratch version will be called "Rossies 2: Sean Of The Ned", and the PC CD/Downloadble Version will be called "Rossies 2: Emporer Yunki Strikes Back", Why? Well, because while essentially, they'll be the same game, one version will be far more complex than the other.
-
The PC CD/Downloadable Version, Which will be coded using C#, will have a story mode with cutscenes and stuff and a "Free Mode" with 2 additonal modes "Timed" and "Survival", Timed is basicly Shooting as many neds as you an within the time limit, Survival is Shooting as many neds before dying, and it will get harder as you go along, and if you're lucky, both modes wil have an online leaderboard, that has yet to be confirmed though.
-
The Scratch Version However, Using, What else, Scratch Language I guess you could call it, will only be the Survival Free Mode, as even the alpha for the game I'm working on right now has a pretty slow framerate and the file size is rising pretty quickly.
That's all the Info I have on that so far, more info will be coming soon, not to a PC near you... |
OK, well the whole "hulutube" thing didn't happen, but all thanks to Google, YouTube has been full of fail lately. Google have managed to f**k up YouTube in many other ways. For a start, they keep changing stuff about on Youtube and making it suck more. Why change the site when everyone liked it the way it was? They keep changing the layout all the time. They change the layout everyone liked to one that sucks. I can't believe they got rid of the big yellow subscribe button at the top of the page, wasn't that one of YouTube's trademarks? And the new page they removed the 5 star rating system and raplaced it with like/dislike. Yeah well i dislike the new layout. Seriously, the new design sucks. Theres another thing that really pissed me off. I keep going on Youtube only to get a message reading "Http/1.1 Service Unavailable". This happens like every day i go on the site. I really hope this is all an April Fools joke because me, my fellow rossi comrades and everyone else are pissed off at what Google is doing to our favorite video site. Google, stop messing around with Youtube, and change it back the way everyone liked it!  |
Here we are, I've finally ended my continuos updating to this game, I think it needs a rest
So anyway, here it is:
...and yes, again with using the darn image, don't blame me, blame scratch, they're applet thing doesn't work, but I'm sure they'll fix that bug... soon...
Lemme guess, you all want an actual sequal, right? WELL... ok, once I get my new game making software for my birthday (a working Multimedia Fusion 2 Developer, Actualy paid for instead of torrent downloaded, and yes, I'm aware that it's £250!) I'll start off with Rossies 2, It will include more than 1 level this time (yay...?) and a "free mode" which allows you to just keep on shooting cruncanites untill you die, the point in this is, It'll have a scoreboard system, that was what gave me the idea, all the cool features in this upgrade and previous ones will be included (I'll let you guy, fellow Rossi compades, decide on that), with over 50 Quotes this time (this version of Rossies 1 has EXACTLY 50), why am I so sure? because I just thought up more quotes to add just as I published this one, so I decided to forget it and add them to Rossies 2 once I get to making that (that is IF I remember them, but I have a pretty good memory though, so I don't think I'll forget them), Rossies 2 will also include Rossie files as cutscenes. That's all I have planned for it actually, but y'now it's still in pre-production, so I have plenety of time to think of more stuff.
Untill then...

Just thought I'd make this, it didn't take too long, it's basicly a currency translator (Cruncredits is the Cruncrarian currency (as descovered by me and CARBUNCLES!!!)), with a differance, you get to shoot the Cruncanite to translate again. Anyway, I'm gonna work on a Cruncrarian Translator, that's gonna take a while, but I know this kinda thing can and has been done before, because I once saw a German translator on scratch, the only thing is, Cruncrarian's MUCH harder to learn (Trust me, a fellow Rossi Comrade at Team Virtua Ross has studied it for 14 years, and STILL can't speak it fluently, that's how hard it is!), but with a little help from Rossi Comrades and people who have picked up a bit of cruncrarian, I'll manage!
So Anyway, Here's the Cruncrarian Cruncredits Translator:
Yeah, I know, it's the image version, but for some reason when I put the applet version, it only showed the "Learn More about this project" Link, sorry, guys, not my fault!

Alpha Ross Chemical Deveopments are developing a new MRC chemical candy known as the MRC Power Pill. This small sized pill (about the size of a penny) has all the powerful chemicals of Phase II and can repel kruncanites within a 2 meter radius. although only 2m compared to the MRC Phase II, it's power (and size) makes up for it. It also contains anti-kruncarian chemicals which kill kruncanites if the chemicals are delivered by a dart gun. Any kruncanite from Michael Savage to dr.Killcare will think they are dying of swine flu as their organs turn to jelly (and kruncarian slime) and explode. The MRC Power Pill is perfect for those in kruncanite-infested areas. Chemical attack is the best form of defence against kruncanites!

As you might already know, there were two rossi files were on their way, one about the kruncanites and another about PSA robots. but im sorry to inform my fellow comrades that the rossi files have been canceled! windows Vista has rendered the microphone disabled and it no longer works. there is no known soluton to the problem and i can no longer do the vioceover. apperently Microsoft have did this to stop copyright and have locked the microphone feature. DAMN THOSE RETARDS AT MICROSOFT!!!! i am now stuck with a half-devlepoped rossi file waiting to be finished and another ready to be made but no voiceover. I need a way to get the mic feature working so i an complete these long awaited rossi files. If you got any ideas please tell me... The problem is i can't get both the mic and sound card both in a "working" state. if mark the sound card the mic will become "unavailable" and will not work. i need a way for both to work but there is no possible way and no one has found a way to fix the problem...

As you probably know, a bunch of greedy americans have created a stupid policy where they block videos , music and content so that only people from USA can view it. You can call this "americans only! filtering". I remember this started when i tryed to download some sounds to use with rossi files from some random site when i got this massage saying "this is an american service only". i was really p*ssed off at this thinking "americans only? WTF! then i remember trying to watch a video on another site and got a stupied massage "this video cannot be streamed outside USA due to copyright ussues" SERIOUSLY WTF!!!! Then in late 2008 they started making changes to Youtube. and one of them was if certain videos trying to watch them you get a red banner at the top that says "this video is not available in your country". They do this with more and more videos everytime i visit the site now. Since king of pop, Micheal Jackson died ( wich is still hard to believe ), some american guy has taken over his channel and blocked all his music videos for americans only! I am angry at whoever did this to his videos. Michael was one of the most famous people arround and the whole world knows him. mj himeslf wouldn't want that and wont be pleased if he knew this guy did this. after all he was out there for the whole world not just for America, . it's just ridiculous and it gets worse. If Hulu are going to take over Youtube, it will become Us only site like Hulu itself. meaning the world most known video site will be gone and only americnans will be able to view it. "Hulu Tube" is gonna suck old youtubes pingas! Playlist.com has recently started this stupid policy now. Almost, if not all playlists i've seen cannot be wiewed cause it contains one of two songes that are "NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS" cmon what's the point and also WHY F**KING BLOCK THE WHOLE PLAYLIST!!!! just block ther "US only" tracks if thats relly the case. i'm looking playlist after playlist and every single one of them is blocked. seriously now, this is f**ked up! go to playlist.com and see for yourself. also playlist are doing the same thing as Soundsnap and Fileplanet. first they started making you have to join the site to download stuff form them. then they started making you have to "subscribe" inother words pay money for so many moths or the premium offor where you sign up for 2 years and pay £6.95 a month.<--WHAT A RIP OFF!!! I used to go on those sites for sounds and music soundtracks but not anymore. Whos gonna pay that money just to view a web site huh? no one! there we go, yet another stupid internet policy!! Another is the starwars site. which now has that stupid "americans only" policy. go on starwars.com and try watch a clone wars episode. After watching a one minute ad the video will start but only to see a yahoo thing and a woman saying "The content you are trying to view is only available in certain areas" yep and the "certain areas" they mean USA. the people running the site probebly don't realise they are star was fans outside of US. duh! So whats the reason for this ridiculous policy? Cause the majoryty of american companies all want to be bigger and better then everyone else! its obvious. i've never heard from anything like Japan only content or German only content. this is just a kick in the teeth for all us who are not from America. There's a proxy thing to get past it but it costs money for bandwith AND LOTS OF IT!!!!!!    F**K THAT SYUPID NEW POLICY!!!!! THERES JUST NO NEED FOR IT!!!!!!!! SO MUCH FOR THE WORLD WIDE WEB!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT!!!!!!!!!!! |
It's Finally Here.... In a Download Form, Ok, Let me explain, I don't care what you have to say, just read, now, you know that scratch's limit is 10mb, right? well the game ended up being 87mb! (I know, I can't belive it ither)
Sorry about this, but I didn't have any other choice, but look on the bright side, you can feel free to muck it up, and modify it to make you're own galery shooter, just make sure to give me credit, ok? (What? I DID make it all from Scratch (lol, I guess...) But seriously, though, I spent months on the game, and all I ask in favor is a little bit of credit if you make a remixed version)
Here's The Trailer/Commercial/Whatever For It's Realease:
Dailymotion Version:
Coming Soon...
Revver Version:
Coming Soon...
Cobra!
