Spelunky is a Roguelike and Source

[halibabica]

How about just.. game maker?

you know the lazy way out that works just fine?

So, in other words...

If it's being made in anything but GM, I'm out.

Y'know if y'all are getting the hang of game maker then you should try and expand your horizons.
The GML syntax is really similar to that of more professional languages, find some tutorials online and it wouldn't be too hard of a jump. I mean it won't be a cake walk but the investment would definitely be worth it.

I didn't say that?

you really should put words in my mouth dude, not cool.

Well if you feel that way sure why not. I honestly am working on a tactics game right now but meh.

I'm not saying you should put that down (although I did forget you were still doing that). I'm just informing you of the possibilities.

Stay focused on one project at a time, if you spread yourself too thin, you won't accomplish anything.

I am just kinda pissed at  halibabica for puting words in my mouth still

I am wiling and have worked with other types of coding before, and honestly would be willing to help some one make this, but not do it myself or I would spread myself to thin

[halibabica]

Sorry!  That's just what it looked like to me.

[marsgreekgod]

Sorry!  That's just what it looked like to me.

Honestly, even if it was in a coding langqich I knew nothing about I could still help with story, sprites, music, conspet, testing...

not all game making is coding

[Wonkyth]

In a true Roguelike, it nearly is! 
Although you do need a hell of a lot of work put into balance, and of course the best ways to translate Spelunky into a rather different form.

Does someone want to make a new thread for this?

[Kegluneq]

Does someone want to make a new thread for this?

Does anyone want to put forth the effort to make it in the first place?

I can tell that mars doesn't want to, and I'm not too crazy about true rogue-likes, so unless you or someone else is willing to make it (we'd still help where you need it, just neither of us are willing to commit fully to it), theres not much point in making a new thread for it.

what he said more or less

[Wonkyth]

That's fine.
I'm fairly busy as it is. 
Well, if anyone ever does feel like it, I'd be prepared to put aside the time. 

[marsgreekgod]

so we have 4 people willing to help, no one willing to start working on the thing?

I'll be back

Ok I could get a system, but we would need to steal or buy rpgmaker vx.

-----
I know it's one of the worst things to make a game with, but it's one of the EASYEST

and we are all a little lazy at least

HI GUYS! GUESS WHAT?! I'M ALIVE!

I've been gone for so long! So much has happened! I need to keep up with all of this. I'm sorry, I love you all.

And I would say I'd be willing to work on such a thing but I'm not really skilled with programming. I'm moderately familiar with RPG Maker, I could probably kind of help work on something, though I don't know what exactly I could contribute. Keep me updated.

Have missed you guys, school has been hell though.

P.S.: I'm big on Roguelikes, I would love a legit Spelunky RL.

[marsgreekgod]

It case you are wondering, putting the random level mod of vx plus the rouge like fighting system....

[halibabica]

I don't think those are very good reasons to resort to an RPG making platform for this.  I don't know any actual programming languages, but really, is scripting Spelunky into Ruby gonna be any easier than something that would handle the end product better?
