Dtoid Game Update - Wedge's making a beat 'em up.
angusm \| 12:29 PM on 02.27.2008	17 comments

Voting will still end midnight tonight, and then the work will commence!

Alright, so the response has been heavily in favor of a Destructoid Beat 'Em Up game, but... apparently Wedge is already all over that shit.

So, I can make the Tower Defense, or The Man In The Orange Hat, said that what I was proposing as a beat 'em up sounded similar to a side-scrolling shooter (think Alien Hominid or Metal Slug), which is also a viable option, cause I think it would feel very similar to a beat 'em up while still being different enough. Also a side scrolling shooter would be totally fun to make.
Or if people really want I could still make a straight-up beat 'em up.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Still gonna put mine in for the tower defense. But at least the side scrolling shoorter would be something diffrent.

If you do a metal slug style game, PLEASE contact me. I'd love to help. I have programming and artistic experience.

Man in The Orange Hat sounds interesting. Just give every person from the community a cameo, as a character, enemy, or boss. I shall be the final boss.

Can't decide between a shooter or beat-em-up? Try mashing it together to come up with something interesting! Of course it may not work out, in which case go the way of the shooter.

king3vbo

Alien Hominid style? FUCK YEAH!

bahss

River City Ransomtoid?
Metal Slugtoid?
Alien Homintoid?

Neonie, I'm sorry. Side-Scroller takes my vote. But, the Tower Defense sounds good too. My God. Make this shit happen!

Neonie

Hey I'm game for anything. I just dident think we needed another Beat-em up xD. Like I said, at least a side scrolling shooter would be something diffrent :D.
