Stacker at the Onion

Who wants to join me in developing this game? LOL Here is my WIP:

r13

i'll do a box texture for ya, if someone else makes the model and uv's it

The3DGuy

can there be crates also or just boxes?

Mark Dygert

Those corners are way to sharp you should bevel or chamfer it. Someone could get hurt!

EarthQuake

Ill set up the shader.

This game is totally inappropriate for kids. After playing this game kids will be attracted to warehouses as a 'cool' place to play. Also the health bar always being full will give kids the impression that in the confines of a warehouse no harm can befall you. Ask yourself, do you want your kids lured to warehouses where they will invariably stack things that they will then climb and fall off of, only to find that in the real world your health bar doesnt stay full.

"We're confident that the new 'reluctantly interactive' content engine we designed will prevent any excitement or emotional involvement, inappropriate or otherwise, on the part of the player."

So your going to bore them to death so that they hate their parents?

Hot damn Half Life 2 ain't got nothing on this! Why use some fancy grav gun when you can use your hands!

Its not about stacking boxes but still close.

Keg

pyromania

I think I'll just wait for Boxwars on HL2.

trespasser.

Thegodzero

cheap, no trespasser had you running from dinos, and dinos are scary so you would feel something playing it. This game is supposed to make kids wish they were watching paint dry insted of playing it. That or be grinding the bunnions off their grandmothers sweety feet.

Those boxes are great for corporate advertising. Kids love that.

So this is the next-gen Tetris?

Tetris has violent explosions that will influence children to pour gasoline one their parents, and light them on fire while they sleep.

Though some have compared Stacker to Tetris, those within the industry have been quick to draw distinctions between the two games.

"Tetris' suggestively twisting and turning blocks, violent falling motions, and increasingly frenzied suspense are a potential influence on children," said video-game ethicist Steve Contreras. "By contrast, after playing Stacker, with its eternally unchanging shapes and gentle lowering actions, I doubt a child would ever want to arrange any sort of virtual block again. This is exactly what this controversial industry needed to rescue its reputation."
