Splinter Source... Redux?

WIP Platformer Based on Splinter Source


Zi-Xiao Liang wants me to tell you that he’s working on a new game based on one of his old games. Unfortunately, it’s not a remake of his top-down shooter Scientology PWNED, which ironically got PWNED pretty hard by Scientology. Instead, Mr. Liang is (probably wisely) choosing to base this game on Splinter Source, his side-scrolling 2d stealth platformer.

Hit the jump for five more screenshots of this as-of-yet-unnamed, no-release-date-set platform game which Zi-Xiao is describing as “Super Mario mashed with Splinter Cell, piled on Metal Gear Solid (and if the player chooses to do so, sprinkled with Contra).” Which is a recipe that makes either a Roast Awesomebeef or a Meatloaf of Disaster (hold the TIGERSauce). Let’s hope it’s the former!

    At the risk of incurring a Beserker-like lashing for commenting on an early work-in-progress preview…

    I hope the bullets look better in the final version.

    That artwork reminds of Ball Bullet Gun, which is to say, “Sex-ay!!!”

    <3 giant bullet shells

  5. Zaphos said about 3 hours later:

    I love the style of it so far! Best of luck to Zi-Xiao :)

    If anything I trust Zi-Xiao with weapons so I’m all for the GIANT BULLETS. If Scientology Pwned showed anything it’s that in a Top-down arena style shooter he could really nail the feel of weapons. This is looking great too, I can’t wait to see how it plays!

    Ooh, Splinter Source was one of my fave little games of a while ago so this gets me a bit hot and bothered in the pants. Lovely! :)

    Why would you hold the TIGERSauce. Why would you do that.

    It is the only sauce.

    This looks pretty cool and I’ve always liked Zi-Xiao’s pixel work.

    I’m loving the picture where the spy is in the shadows saying “ice cube”(?) to the soldier.

    On a side note, I wish TIGS would somehow, if possible, find out which engine people were making their stuff on :) That sort of stuff interests me too.

    OMFG Jerry’s famous! I hope it gets done this time, can’t wait to play it, Splinter Source was good but too short…

  11. jonathan mak said about 8 hours later:

    qnp: maybe “ice cube” means “freeze!” ?

    but i totally think “ice cube” is way cuter.

  12. PHeMoX said about 8 hours later:

    A lot of awesomeness in the screens already!

  13. BeamSplashX said about 16 hours later:

    Ice Cube = “Chill Out!”

    Hopefully it’s a longer game with a full campaign instead of another time-restricted level. The first SS was fun, but I’m not much for score attack arcade stealth platformers, I guess.

    WANT D: I cant wait to see this.

    Oh shiiiii! I loved the original one. And this one looks just so polished.
