FatBastard

Introduction

FatBastard is a small 2D mini-game I created for showing Deluvas a bit more advanced stuff of Delphi (code-language) and TV3D (Game-engine). I created the front-end part in about 7 hours.

The game is playable and works. However, it still misses some features, ugly GUI and has some bugs.

How to play

You play the game using the WASD keys (sorry Azerty users, no other version yet). You control the fat bastard who needs to eat junk food to survive. However, there are also healthy items such as bananas which you really shouldn't eat! If you eat 3 healthy food items after each other, you'll die.

The difficulty increases as you gain weight. Stuff such as enemies (which will instant kill you for example) aren't added yet.

Post your own highscore here and try to beat other ones.

It's about the gameplay. So no screenshots yet.

Known bugs/problems

• Collisions sometimes don't fully work.
  
• Food items come at waves, shouldn't happen.

• Deluvas - Google'd and editted most icons

• deathbycrowbar - Tried to make some icons too, didn't use them however

BUG REPORTS AND SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME!

However, this game will never be a full mini-game. Since it's mainly for learning Deluvas some of the techniques.

I guess I had fun in the making

[deathbycrowbar]

Just played it. Now for some comments:

• All the stuff comes on in very sudden waves. It would be better if it was more consistent as this would make the game more exciting.
• The game is far to easy at the beginning and doesn't get difficult for a long time. As the game is so simple, you need to make it get difficult quicker to keep the game exciting.
• Also, it would be cool if the guy actually got larger as you ate more as this would look good and also contribute to the increasing difficulty.

Nice game though and very good for just 6 hours work.

(would have been better with my icons though )

DON'T PRESS ESCAPE TO PAUSE IT GOD DAMN!

Ywa, when register.bat is ran in admin. It doesnt stay up for long, but its saying something about not being able to find the files specified.

Dont know if this helps

Dont know if this helps

Either:

- Hold shift in the map where the .bat file is located

- Right click, press "Open Command Prompt"

- Type "register.bat" in the prompt and wait for the results

Or:

- Add "pause" to the bottom of the bat file, run it and give the results

[Darkstar]

Fixed it now, probably because i put the files onto the other hard drive i guess, just edited the paths in the bat file to where they were on my hard drive and it worked

Well, are you sure you extracted the DLLs to the same directory? Maybe your anti-virus blocked the extraction of those files (TV3D65.dll, msvcr71.dll etc.).

[Mayco]

You need to:

- Make sure the files are there (like Ywa said)

- Make sure writing to system directories is possible

- Make sure you haven't removed the %WINDIR% system variable for some reason

[Darkstar]

Ladies. Its fixed, it works, end of.

EDIT:

The bat file seemed to have trouble finding the files in the first place to copy over.

[Mayco]

Didn't see your edit

You do need to place (or rather, keep) the .bat file in the same directory as the .dll files.

Is nice, I like the 'horde'-ish of the food coming, gives some time to rest and then stress a few moments, etc, etc

[Clavus]

Why does it need to copy those dlls to the system32 folder anyway. Any decent program can run dlls from its own directory.

When I tried to run Oalist, it found a worm. Now im just scared to run the program

And yeah. Graphics error on running the game.

Oalist sounds like a crappy STD. You're the only one who reports it's a false-positive.

If you got a graphics errors. Run register.bat.

If really, I dont think that my videocard (Eheheeheh, eherm... GeForce 285 GTX?) cant run a minigame D:.

But K, ill figure it out later on.

Dude, my laptop ran FatBastard and my laptop struggles so much playing the first Quake game (and the maximum it needs to play it is just Windows OS according to steam site).

Can I slap you.

The NVidia 2xx series are equivalent of the ATI 4xxx series.

630kg and then I rndmly died because of too much good food I guess lol

[Ywa]

Deluvas is working on a space game. And I might try to create a simple 2.5D game (unsure). All in the same base.
