MLP Crossy Road

[PacificGreen 1,163]

I've had this idea in my head for a while, but I figured I'd stop posting status updates about how much I wanted it and actually try to make it happen.

 

What I'd like to do is make an MLP version of Crossy Road. If you don't know what that is, it's basically endless Frogger.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossy_Road

 

I'd like to make it very similar in style and gameplay to the original, featuring 3D-pixel version of the characters and various places in Equestria, including:

• Ponyville
• Appleloosa
• Canterlot
• Cloudsdale
• The Everfree Forest
• Manehattan

Each could have similar gameplay but with its own unique features and obstacles (e.g. Cloudsdale having flying pegasi whereas Ponyville would have ponies trotting around).

 

I'd also like to implement the following features:

• Automatic progress saving
• A prize machine, like in the original game, that you can use to unlock characters
• Characters unlockable by completing "missions"
• Sound Effects and Music, preferably original
• A currency system (to use for the prize machine)

I'm new to coding, so it may take me a while to get the more complicated stuff down, but I was thinking I would need help covering the following areas (and likely more)

• Character Design
• Environment Design
• Menus & Buttons
• Gameplay Mechanics
• Audio

If this is something you're interested, please give me a holler in the reply box below. It's kinda a lot, so we can start out with some prototypes along the way and update it as we go along.

May I ask how you're planing to get permission from Hasbro to do this?

I don't; I planned it to just be a fan project (unless Hasbro and Hipster Whale want to make a deal ). That said, it would probably have to be substantially different from the actual Crossy Road to avoid copyright issues. So yeah, I think I may have to cut out a few features, now that you mention it.

 

If Hasbro is particularly harsh about fan games, then I'll probably have to shoot them and Hipster Whale an email. XD

I love crossy road and seeing it remade for the MLP chars would be the best thing ever, wish you all the best for this mate, keep us updated.

By the way, if anyone who knows how to work with Unity or make pony voxels is interested in a project like this, I could still really use some help. Still trying to learn Unity on my own but unfortunately I just don't have a lot of time.
