The game

About a month ago Jens “Zhooibaal” came up with the idea to create a simple game from scratch within 24 (thats why its called 24) hours. Tell you what, today is the big day. The kickoff was Thursday August 11 2006

The team consist of 3 people:
Michiel (NecroDOME) Gijbels
Frank (Mad Woody) van Gent
Jens (Zhooibaal) Waschk

We have decided on the following:
2D side scrolling beat ‘em up
We will be the characters
Animation will be stop-motion
There will be a bonus character
All graphics will be photos
A portrait of the characters will be displayed in the top of the screen
