About what? I'm keeping the best jokes and the special weapons I'm cutting weren't needed anyway.

Well, after I have the game done and to my satisfaction I might release a "special edition" with ridiculous amounts of cameos. But for right now I just want to make a good action game with a sense of humor.

Oh, and another thing, when I said non-necessary cameos I didn't mean cutting any of the main characters or the people I'm using for bosses or enemies. Just the side-show sort of stuff.

A brief update:

Character select screen done
5 of 15 char sets done
level 1 50% complete
All main engine work done

I'm having trouble with the title screen. I was wanting to parody the Birth Machine pic by Giger but my drawing sucks and so do the image converters that work with megazeux. Can anybody help me out?

Edit: My avatar, by the way, is a colorized version of what zaphod looks like in this. I forgot to add the mullet but I'll put in the game version

How could you forget the mullet when drawing Zaphod ?

Shouldn't you, like, start with the mullet and draw around that.

That's the most unique title screen that I have ever seen.

How did you come to that as a title screen?

It's not unique. It's a parody of this one Giger painting called Birth Machine (you can get a look at it here http://www.hrgiger.com/newborn.htm)

The finished version will be a little more detailed and it'll be animated to be an assembly line sort of thing.

I'm almost as excited about this game as I would be about a commercial game.

Z2 isn't dead. Hoorj.

Anyway, I now have the second level mostly complete and I'm working on the third one (out of 6 levels total). I have some screenshots but I don't feel like posting them again so just go look at them on the Rebirth Machine thread at Digital MZX.

No promises but I may have the game done by early July. I might also make a two player version.
