ITT: We accomplish nothing at all.

I think that its a girl exploring a environment, and it also comes with a level editor

Either that, or a game where the main character is a ball. Maybe blue.

 

i want the pteranodon back! 

this will most likely be a platformer, that isn't bloody, has very good peaceful music and features somebody exploring but there will be amazing graphics and very cool puzzles

Wait. It's a game. The graphics are 2d. They are made in another program besides MMF. The code is made with MMF. The window size will be 600*360. There will be the option to switch control keys. It will run on windows, but throw some messed up error on Vista/7. There will be EXACTLY 7 characters. One will be an enemy. The thickframe and maximize buttons will be disabled. The music will be external. Nifflas will commit suicide halfway through making the game, and then rise from the dead and finish it as a zombie.

Actually, I think it means "I think that..." far as I can tell... but they seem to be interchangeable in every thread I've seen it in...

^ It generally means 'In This Thread' (or in this case 'In This Topic'). I've never seen it used to mean I Think That, but I suppose it exists.

Here's what we've heard so far.

Ah, no, this is not Find Love. It's actually a re-imagination of a game I used to play and love as a child, so you'll get game mechanics similar to a game you have already played but with a completely different set of puzzles and approaches to solve them.

Nothing innovative in other words, but hopefully a very enjoyable game at least. [...]

It won't be Juni, she's too nice and harmless. To me, this game is a break I need from my seriousness and deeper meaning, so it has to be a character who have a personality that lets him/her run around and e.g. throw bombs at random creatures and enemies.

Any ideas?

[...]the character width/height relationship is 1:2 and can carry objects above his/her head.

As I alluded in the other thread, based on this stuff alone, I'd say Super Mario Bros. 2 (a.k.a. Doki Doki Panic).

But then there's this post...

I wouldn't call it violent [...]. The game is very harmless.

[...] I by some reason I feel like I have to do something small, silly, funny nonsense that doesn't really mean anything. [...] The gameplay mechanics are really neat, and unlike Knytt Stories, every object interact with each other in a different way, which means that quite complex puzzles can be accomplished with just a few objects. This should be perfect for level editing![...]

DDP/SMB2 hardly had any interesting or puzzle-suited interactions like that.  I can't really think of any game that fits everything that Nifflas has said.

Anyone have any more ideas?  Maybe it's a more obscure game?

Or maybe Nifflas isn't trying to replicate another game.

But then again, maybe a "re-imagination" has more room for deviation than a remake/demake/clone.

Probably there will be aviable to make lots of puzzles.

Hihi,
Nifflas I bet it`s a very funny feeling seeing a bunch of kiddies (me included) puzzling over something which could probably be something particular if something else which is probably made in a guessed direction is finally presented by you Sir!

Mhoa long sentece!

Will the new game be freeware like Nifflas' earlier small games, or commercial like his more recent releases? (More a question than speculation, but I didn't feel like making a new topic)

At the moment I'm making my best shot at living off game development. It won't be free, but as it is developed rapidly in just a few months the price tag will be low.

I think it would be unfair if it was free.  Your games are so good that I'm sure we'd all pay for them if it was required.  I feel you should always charge for every game from now on, because regardless of what happens the community will have still benefitted immensely from your completely free back catalogue.

Another new game? great
so what kind is it? a platformer? Puzzle game? or a new kind?!

BTW, i still didn't know how to play Find Love...
it always reminds me some FTG games ..OTZ
