Hi my friends.

Nepa is back. And i'm glad to present you "Kompotka 3000. Babaji Ultra Air-Mech Simulator", and tell something about my supa-game. 
Kompotka 3000 is a fast-paced 2D sidescroller shooter based on Hawken. Here the Kompotka-trailer:


(i know quality is ugly, but i do my best on my PC)

Before you ask me: "Nepa, what the fock is this?", read some babaji text.

What is Kompotka 3000?

it is a fun 2D game about hawken. Kompotka is an "allusion" on current hawken. the thing which i love. the things which i hate. any way, all of this is related with hawken or with things which i love. i just put all of it in game, added cool 8-bit soundtrack (i hope Konami not kill me xD), and mixed it up to get result. probably, to understand all details, you should look in my brain. 

features:
- crazy pixel design and style
- totally absurd babaji story (i strongly recommended play with cut-scenes xD)
- nice and simple game mechanics (hold F1 in main menu to get more info)
- 3 different weapon types with pros and cons
- pass-through & flexible weapon leveling system
- easy gameplay which encourages "heroism"
- bonuses allow you make some tricks
- 5 epic bosses and one "secret boss"
- funny ranking system with many ranks based on win/lose
- easy controls. WASD+Mouse (F4 to fullscreen/window mode. i recommended fullscreen cuz mor ez to play)
- skip cut-scenes (if you don't want to see movies and play fast, you also can skip movie in game by press ESC or use mouse) and disabling "scanlines" filter effect.


Creating of Kompotka and general Idea:

maybe some of you remember, that i trying create 2D-hawken long time ago, but got fiasco. i almost forgot about this idea, and never try do this, but! Not so long time ago i see Dermax comment on forum "there is no hovken without kompotka" and i should say thanks for this (thx u Dermax :3). after i reading THIS, i immideately construct whole game concept in my brain. it is like "bam!", and you know what you should do. To be honest, i have No Idea what (or who) is Kompotka. but i very love funny and strange words, so i immideatly understand how i called my game, and decided on the direction of the Kompotka-universe.

then, our friend Xerrial ask me draw some sprites for his game. but i totally failed his request (because u know, i can draw only simple things which i know how to draw.), but instead of this i born kompotka-sprites in one-two days.
then it was just a "time question". i know that i can't complete this game, because i'm not a coder. so, i just use game-maker engine and trying make a game without a code, creating only logic for my project. i spent about a week of work (7*12=84 hrs) + time to testing, polish gameplay and fix bugs.

So, thx u guys, without yours, Kompotka never be happen! Also thx guys who help me find bugs and test (nekomant, apperceptor, deadmechrus, evl958ad2...or 458...meh, u find this in titles in the end xD)


Known Issues:

Spoiler

- MCI error. This is not game bug. it related with you windows and probalby game-maker engine, when it can't play more than 25 audio-files. you can fix it with patch (google for more info) if you want. it is not ruin the game, you may just close error message and continue play, but you lost cool background sound-tracks and game atmosphere. it is sad, but i can't fix it. As i know it is not related with winXP or 7 or 10. it can happen on every windows (also, maybe some old version of vc++ and .net can solve this problem.)

- Stucking bonuses. Sometimes bonuses can stuck in walls (yeah...it is 100% hawken feature). the problem is - enemies stop drop bonuses while 1 bonus active (except bonus-boxex), so, you need just pickup it. it happen when enemy die very close to invisible wall (another 100% hawken feature...xD). just deal with it.

- no Volume options. I know it is bad. but the problem in game-maker, i can easily work with SFX volume (pew-pew sound), but i can't change background music volume without coding. so, i delete this feature from game. 

- game create kmp file in self directory. do not fear, it is .ini file which used for pause game. (yeah, pause in game has very stupid method to realisation, but it is working ;D)

Cheat codes:

Spoiler

Kompotka 3000 is actually very easy game if you understand game mechanics and moving like a pro, and don't fear.
but, i know that different people have different skill, so i added some cheat codes in game.
 

in main menu typing

 

imnub - activate cheatcodes

1 - add 1 live

2 - add 1 bomb

 

impro - deactivate cheatcodes

 

if you activate cheats, you always got special rank "cheater" when you end game and you can't see real rank.
if you deactivate cheatcodes you can got rank again. but you can activate/deactivate cheats only in main menu

Well...

If you find some bugs, tell me. maybe i fix it, maybe not. i don't know.
actually, i don't want spent more time on Kompotka, so i leave it "as is", maybe i working on something new, "i mean, not related with hawken". i have some ideas, and Kompotka was a good practice for me.

thx for u time, i hope you like my small game :P

Kompotka is a portmanteau word coined by Memag. It means "a beverage produced by mixing kompot and vodka".

 

But other than that, I strongly recommend that you create iOS/Android versions of the game, put them on Google Play and try to monetize it. Then you'll be able to work on the actual 2D game you dreamed about.

[Gabbahead]

Nepa, i know, what you not really russian, but who cares...

[Dew]

Is the music original or did it come from somewhere?

 

Edit: The trailer music, specifically.

lol.
one of the random phraze which you can find in kompotka 3000 game menu (every time when you see at main menu, game generate a random phrase.)
- VODKA KOMPOTKA, SHAKEN NOT STIRRED
xD

about monetization. i see this way. 
first - ios/android is hard (maybe not hard, but i not see how it working actually. also, 90% creating without any coding)
second - all music is stealed without rights, most of soundtrack is Tim Follin works. i really try do something my myself, but the result was bad.
so, it is free. xD

most is Tim Follim music.
all soundtrack (except secret boss) from old 8-bit games. trailer soundtrack from mega-man.

Good work, son.

[Onebullit]

Great work nepacaka, you're the man.

 

Do you want free music for your game?  I'm not going to make promisses yet but i can

contact 2 good friends of mine, 2 brothers that are sound engineers and talk to them about

your project, and maybe they can create something for me (you) for free.

 

Do you want?

thx for ask Onebullit, but not today xD

first of all, i have several ideas. but first i need to do several things. because if i can't do main step, i can't create game (because i'm not a coder :P)
1) create random generated map
if yes ->
2) create hero and main features
if yes ->
3) create several types of adequate AI
if yes ->
4) create sound options, record in files(option save), resolution change
if yes ->
5) do the game stuff, because all other is easy. just a time question.

if i can do this on new game maker studio (it have new and better engine, and sound engine), maybe i ask you about help with music. but if i can't do this, so, it will be mean that i can't create the game xD
i need a time to think how to do all of this, thinking about sprites, and other.

it is actually a miracle that i can create kompotka, because it have part of game which i even don't understand how it working and how i do this :D

i mean. i need working game prototype before i need music.

An inspiration to us all. I wanted to make a 2D local MP Hawken which would basically be Armor Battle ( for the young'ns) but didn't have the time or motivation.

 

btw @nepa and other aspiring game devs humblebundle has gamemaker studio pro for ONE DOLLAR. I bought the $15 version today to get the export to Android, iOS and "Universal Windows" modules. If you decide to make kompotka a Windows 10 Store timed exclusive, MS might cut you a deal, like Quantum Break :P. Money in the bank. https://www.humblebu...amemaker-bundle

I can't export kompotka from gm8.1 to GMstudio. The only one chance, making it from zero on new engine. But I don't want. I better find my own idea to do something new. )
But, thx for news. People from Russian community already told me about humblebumble gm :3

Also, I'm still not 100% sure that I can create new project.

Btw, cool game on vids. It have potencial. If added speed, easy to play controls and destructible environment like blowing houses and fallen trees. It can be good.

Use lasor. It penetrate bosses armor. Also, salt-brother give x2 less damage from mega-bombs, and have less HP than other (but summary HP is higher, except final and secret bosses). Just kill one salt fast, and second salt die easily. Or save 3 bomb and kill it xD

This is brutally hard on a keyboard.  I need to try it out at home with the controller.  It's really awesome Nepacaka!  Thanks for sharing.

I don't create controller support. It is actually not hard, but I don't know how to do this in past. Maybe if you try setup stick as wasd and bind shoot at square or cross manually in controller setup :/
Actually, I'm very bad with sidescroller game, so I do game difficulty for myself (I mean, I should can beat a game without cheats). 60% I can beat all bosses, sometimes use continue. So I think game difficult is Ok. It is not hard, but not very easy. And if practice several times and know enemies routes and understand how collect bonuses in right time, u can do dis.

I have an Intellivision that still works, I think. It's actually the only console I have. I haven't tried it in a few years.

I found the container for Kompotka, but I still didn't manage to find the recipe

 

does it have any link with how to cook a turkey ?

[Houruck]

This is awesome on so many levels! <3

We have kompot too (spelled komp�t) and -ka is a diminutive suffix in Hungarian, so Kompotka means little kompot.
