ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Block Ninjas is a 2d action plat-former for your IOS & OSX devices. I want to bring old school side-scrolling shoot-em / beatem up action to the iPhone, iPad and Mac. The entire game is being developed solely by myself. But of course with family and friends support and hopefully yours.

The game style is a mix of enhanced 8bit block ninjas / characters in a hand drawn and pixelated world. With the different abilities and powers such as magical ninja stars, bombs, jumping off walls doing flips and kicking some butt. There will be a ton of unlock-able playable characters. From other types of ninjas to babies,zombies,robots and so on. Each character with their own ninja throwing weapons and skills.

The art of the game is either hand drawn scanned into the computer and edited from there or is designed pixel by pixel or stock art photos then edited a little to give it a smoother integrated look. All the music and sound effects are composed by my self with some help and ideas from family and friends.

The level design is made with a simple idea or sketch then based off that I would design play and test the level to make sure its fun.The stages will have some randomness to them. So when you play the game its not the exact same every time. Enemies will be in different positions flying through the air and running at you from all different directions. The stages will also have physics to make the game play more fun and sometimes challenging. Such as bigger enemies are heavier and harder to move so watch out for them when they come flying towards you. The ipad and osx versions will also have a 2 player battle and co-op mode. I will also be working on a way to have online play and maybe even a level editor.

Kickstarter allows an awesome relation ship between me the developer and each and every fan. This includes getting the fans involved with game design ideas and even designing some playable and non playable characters off of some Kickstarters likenesses. Also providing neat rewords for those who pledge is a great way to show my appreciation for your help

I have spent quite a bit of money and time on the project so far. Buying an iMac, iPhone and 1st gen iPad. But still need help in funding to pay off the credit cards used to buy them. I’d also need some help getting newer gen iPad 2 and older IOS devices to test the game on. Maybe even a macbook to work on the game while on the road or on lunch / breaks at work. Instead of being stuck in front of my desk with any of my free time. Funding for more art supplies, licenses, and other legal fees is also needed and very appreciated. I work a full time job right now. But with some of this funding.It would allow me to take extra days off work to work solely on this project which would help out immensely. If I reach my goal you can rest assured knowing all the funds will be used in getting the game tested and finished in an earlier time frame with quality and game play in mind. These funds would make my dream of becoming a game developer come true. Hopefully becoming a full time job not just a hobby and you can be part of this dream.

Help fund an awesome 2d ninja action plat-former for IOS and OSX and get great stuff for doing so :)

Some goals with the funds are…

Pay off credit debt that was from starting this game.

Buy iPad 2 and older IOS devices to test this game on and other future releases.

To involve backers such as your self in making this game awesome.

Some goals for the game are

To make around 20-30 levels for the first release
To make unlockable mini games
To work more on the art style and design
To make a battle and co-op mode for the osx and ipad :)
Check into making a level editor and online play
Create more playable characters and enemies and power ups

According to good ol wikipedia Augmented reality is a field of computer research which deals with the combination of real-world and computer-generated data (virtual reality), where computer graphics objects are blended into real footage in real time. Check out the videos and links below to see what augmented reality is and try it for your self.

This one is great and has some nice effects. Try it out in your cubicle and impress your buddies. http://ge.ecomagination.com…

This is a first peek at an augmented reality virtual pet game being developed for the iPhone in the GVU Center’s Augmented Environments Lab at Georgia Tech. The game is far from done, but there’s enough to it right now to show off some of what will be possible. (Kudo’s to Kimberly Spreen for getting this going).
