untitled game not really a game yet

Hey guys,
I have been working on a game in my spare time using SDL, although I wouldn't really call it a game yet though.

Here is the concept art:
[img=concept]http://s3.postimage.org/bk1869kwa/gameidea.png[/img]

...and here is what I've got so far:
[img=test]http://s3.postimage.org/c1ayxokcq/terrainpixeltest.png[/img]

What I've got so far is:
- Destructible terrain (currently will only work with that brown colour)
- Very bad projectile motion code for the worm leaps
- I havn't coded the worm body yet (the red square is a placeholder)

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2c1sd7d295oa3z9 (build14)

Known bugs:
- The worms leap angle isn't very accurate lol (sometimes it leaps the opposite direction)

Hopefully you understand the concept of the 'game' from the concept art, so what I really want from you guys is a good name for the game or some feedback/ideas. Cool, thanks.

have fun!


edit:
- build14 is now out, most of the information in this post is now out of date.

 

huahau nice

 

Maybe a worm that jumps and catch birds,planes or something...But the place where it digs the dirt it cant build speed as good as in place where the dirt is not touched?Transition in speed between dirt and air is a bit rough...It should exit at same speed that was reach at top of the ground and maintain it sec or two and than it should start to decrease and go down.Also,the point where it hits the ground it should build some dust or ground particles...Dont stop,keep going,but try to make one thing at a time so you dont get lost :)

I've updated the download link with build 6, it should be a bit more playable now (if you consider digging through dirt with a worm playing). There won't be another update for a while due to exams

 

well,you see you can /

See download link for build9

 

:D

 

Good job man :) Keep on!I bet we will see a nice little game at the end ;)

 

You should make it a simple 1vs1 game, no bots but two humans fighting over little humans on earth. Who gets more humans in a set time, wins the round. Both have their own worm beast, and it's possible to eat other's worm. Eating simply reduces the balls, and so the humans he ate ;)

Wouldn't it be fun?

 

sorry Monsteri, I've already got my eyes set on a multiplayer game :P

I've updated the original post with build 14
- added gun sound effects
- added bullet collisions
- worms head now bleeds when shot

 

Man,you will make some nice little game out of this :D

 

I need a good soundtrack to play in the background so if anyone could point me to a good one i'll put it in the game.
