Games are suppose to be VIOLENT... next you'll tell me Rockstar is making a Ping Pong game

OT: This sounds quite familiar..

Yeah.. a game publishing company which has been producing 'violent' car games (for some weird reason I dont remember the games but it is a well reknown one) have just published another game which is a ping pong game - a big contradiction I must say

OT: He was being sarcastic

. Rockstar made the GTA games.

I've been having tons of fun with this game. been playing multiplayer as well.

Just wanted to ask are you working on any more multiplayer modes for this?

any chance of a double trampoline and two player syncronized type mode ?

SuprChikn - wow, someone actually beat the single player - that's great! The Valhalla level has 5 trampolines, so it definately takes a fast computer to play it.

if you want to play some Add-on sometime, let me know!

it's exciting to hear someone is playing the multiplayer mode

I think eventually I will release an update to the game, that fixes existing bugs, and adds some new backgrounds and charaters/outfits. At that time, I would love to expand the multiplayer mode and make it better. Synchro trampoline is actually part of the sport, so that would be really cool to add.

In the eventual upgrade, I will also include a replay feature like I had in Stunt Playground.

@Walaber: your second featured project slot has been allocated

wow, thanks!

Wow, Well done Walaber!
I think you could make some money out of this if you made it to be commercial!

Anyway, have you thought about releasing the source code?

Because it would help many developers doing their projects in OgreNewt and not knowing how to do certain things.

I really admire you for your skill and effort going into your projects!

Woohoo, Walaber!
Another top-notch game from the master!

If you visit the ogreNewt forum, you'll notice that he released the source for Stunt Playground.

Amazing!!!!!

This funky game makes me feel confident on ogrenewt !!!

PS. When the mouse is roll outside the window and roll back again, the position may be wrong sometimes.

Yep, sounds great to me.

Incidently, I played through the entire single-player again with my second character, who I named "Magilla"

The biggest trick I managed to pull of with him was a Quadruple (tuck) Front with 5.5 twists. It was pretty sweet to pull off

Rewpparo · Post by **Rewpparo** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 4:20 pm

Just downloaded the game, and I got a little bug report. I went to free play, I had the character list, I cliked once on "create new payer and pressed ok, and my computer rebooted. I didn't want to try and repeat the bug right now (dls in progress), so I don't know if it was repeatable. Just thought I'd give the report

Very nice game

It's good to see some projects reach commercial quality !

Some people Don't like your MP:

Moral 2: It sucks. One person bouncess around for a while, while the other watches them. Then THAT person bounces around while the other person that just bounced watches the new bouncer.
It
just
sucks
Don't bother.

And Take a look at this:

Hey ho!!!
Sorry but if you hear that it is about jumping on a trampolin- you don't expect a very good and interesting game.... but this seems to be really awesome!!! The graphic is really good and all the models are very detailed!! It is also great that in the gym one other person is doing something in the background- this is just great!!! And I think you should send this video to newton- they could use it as a technical demo video because you can see how well this physics engine works and how you can use it!!! Really impressing!!!

Hey Walaber! I´m a professional trampoline gymnast and this game is everything I ever wanted to have in my life^^ I now beat the single-player mode with 6 different characters.

But if I know from some trampoline competitions I were in, your game is sometimes not that realistic. The most difficult jump I ever saw was a Quadruple Front Pike with 0.5 twists wich was performed by a famous trampoline gymnastic. But in your game this jump is impossible. That´s why I played around with the game.cfg file to make the game more realistic^^

But it´s really a great game! I want to have the update as soon as possible.

walaber · Post by **walaber** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 3:21 am

Freaq thanks for the comments! I have done gynmastics and trampoline my whole life as well, and I always wanted a game like this

you're right, I could have made it possible to do more crazy tricks... I will make some adjustments for the next release that tweak the physics.

thanks again for playing!! I'm really happy that other gymnasts like the game!

I'd just like to dispute this. I have not changed any config files or anything, just played the game through normally. Here is a trick I just did after reading your post:

Like I said in a previous post, prior to this one I've also done a quadruple front tuck with 5.5 twists. Again, no modification to the game whatsoever.

[edit]
And then there's this one I just did:

You just have to get a lot of height before you start the trick. Have fun.

Freaq · Post by **Freaq** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 9:28 pm

Hey there SuprChikn! I now that you can do those tricks you showed in the pictures with the gorilla! I made those tricks too! But with the Basic man or woman it´s impossible.

@walaber: If you´re interested: I´ve changed the maxflippower from 14.5 to 17.5 and the maxjumppower from 3.9 to 6.9. Now it´s easy to do - for example - a triffus pike like every gymnast on world cups or at the olympics.

And I got a question: What was your most difficult jump in your time as a gymnast?

walaber · Post by **walaber** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 5:36 am

Freaq: thanks for the info. I will take that into mind for the next update to the game (sometime in the future). btw I didn't realize you can jump so high with the monkey!

I never did gynmastics truly seriously, but for a time I trained at a trampoline club, and before I had to quit (too busy with work), I was training (and landing) a back full-in-full-out.

Kentamanos · Post by **Kentamanos** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 8:39 am

So now that we know you've trained before on a trampoline walaber, I have two obvious questions:

Are you or have you ever been a stunt car driver?
Have you ever used monkeys (or any other type of simian) as a bowling ball?
