I made an AfterEllen/Bridget computer game ^____^

Hi's, I hope this is the right place to post :)

Basically years ago I downloaded and awesome program called 'Gamemaker' which lets you, you guessed it, make video games! I always thought to make a video game I'd either have to learn coding or use something so pre-made that it was more like assembling someone else' game. Not so! GM is tough in ways but has a fast learning curve and online community to help and is really fun. Anyhoozles, I hadn't made anything for a few years so I thought I'd adapt a game which is itself an adaptation of a game my brother made.  A dance-mat style game only using the keypad with Bridget as the dancer :)

Here are some images :) 

Here's a link to the file on fileden: It’s only 6.6MB (AfterEllen Vlogs are usually around 250MB so that’s not a big file)

Here's a link to play online (you may have to install plugins)

Just in case you're worried, I think both hosts do virus checks, Yoyo games does for sure, but its completely friendly :) I wouldn't know how to make a virus, or anything outside of the actual game tbh!

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 At the moment the name is 'Boogie with Bridget' 'cus ya know, I wanted to convey what the game was and in keep with the BWB initials, but I kinda hate the name tbh!!, any better suggestions? It doesn't really need to have the BWB initials I guess.

The obvious person to choose for the dancer was Bridget since she's had dance-offs on her Vlog and I thought print-screens of her in a variety of poses would be easy to find (and they were! At one point I considered using screenies from when she and Audrey do their synchronised bed gymnasticy thing).  Also I knew she had awesome outfits! I was gonna take screenies from the Michelle Paradise’s episode 'cus I LOVE her top there, but this outfit seemed even more awesome! Babydoll, and Disneyland gloves and ears :D It was tough removing Audrey's arms from the photos though, and having to fill in the gaps! However I love all of the AE vloggers who I regularly watch, not just Bridget. Other people making appearances in the scenery etc: Sarah, Lori (bobbing along the timer-bar) and Liz scrolling up and down the edges with her gaysword (doesn't it somehow sound wrong not adding a 'Feldman' on the end of 'Liz'? or not having an 'and' between the 'Sarah, Lori'?  I was gonna have Karman be another character and make a 2 player version, the awesome couple, but that would take sooo long. Maybe eventually! But yeah, I love Dara and Cat and other Vloggers also :)

Obviously I've taken all the images, (banners, photos, print-screens,) and the music and character from AfterEllen. I hope that's okay :) It’s just for fun so no copyright infringement intended blahdey blah. Basically instead of a fan-video like people make, it’s a fan game!)

I hope some people actually play/comment this!

wow

This is such an awesome game, I love it! I love that Liz just scrolls up and down with her gay sword, so funny! You did a great job. I still suck at it for my third game, but I am getting better. Im gonna go get Bridget to boogey now! Thanks!!

Sarah and Lori timer :P Gay Sword + Bridget gloves!

haha yeah I think Liz and her gaysword is my fave bit! Like I said I adapted it froma game I made before (which I adaptedfrom my brothers game) and I had two rooms and two characters on that one (I'd like to add Karman to it sometime, its finding good dance moves and cutting them out which is the time-consuming bit. If someone did that for me I'd add her in easy! (or any other vlogger, but I'd love Karman in it best). If i was way smart I'd add in unlockable characters.. hmm *wonders if self is skilled enough to make that*) er, what wa I saying? Oh yeah, my previous game had side bits made from jellybeans in one room and cartoony tall palm trees I drew in the other (they could so be in this one though,mega tall palm trees are v. LA right?). And I wsa thinking what the sidebits should be in this one and Liz and her gaysword up in the air gliding by just seemed the obvious choice!

Sarah and Lori are hilarious though bobbing along XD It makes sense for them to be the timer, 'cus thats like the thing in control

Bridgets outfit and poses are hilarious also, nothing to do with my skill - brilliant already, I just had to find the best shots and cut them out!

BWB videogame

haha thanks, perhaps I should have played it more myself to maketougher high scores to beat! But I didn't want it to be hard to get onto the scoreboard, and I haven't actually played it much myself, byt the time I finished making it I was slightly sick of it, haha. I mostly just played through to test stuff

I'd love it if AE/Bridget did respond, but I'm not sure that they will. They probably haven't even seen it :(

Did You Get Permission to do the Afterellen Fan Game?

www.myspace.com/lunakiss7.com

I think this is beautiful that you made AE game,however,Afterellen is owned by Logo/MTV. I think you have to get their permission. I'm sorry you do. Now since  it's created for the public. So please contact Sarah Warn to protect yourself and your creative ideas.

Did you hear about the lawsuit against the free style artist out in Cali who copied a Free-lance writer photo of Obama?  Profits have been made since the release of the artist image of him. The photographer who took the original photo was working for the associated press at that time and now he wants part of the profits that been made.  It's headed to court. I'm just saying get permission.   Other than I hope you're career will be in video game making. You got skills.

Heya, thanks for your

Heya, thanks for your compliments about the game
about the other thing however I appreciate your concern but I don't really get how this is any different to the many fanvids on youtube? I'm only using images (most of which I screen-capsed and cut-out myself) compared to video footage.  If everyone making a fanvideo contacted logo nobody would ever get replied would they? It'd be a pain for both parties.

There are a TON of fangames on the GMforums, based on Mario and Zelda which are much MUCH bigger than AfertEllen and they've been in production with tons of visitors for years, and still up, sooo.  The only time I've ever heard of it happening (though I'm sure there are other cases) was a 3d re-making of the 1995? game Crono Trigger (made by the massive company 'SQUARE'). The re-making was a highly polished game with highly skilled people taking years to make it and I think it would have been charged for upon release. Thats SOOOO far different from mine. My game too is just a little quickly made fan-thing which is non-profit unlike the other case you mention (which no I hadn't heard of).  Also the only page I've posted it on online is on this very site which is a good thing for them.  Of course if I was making a polished game I could sell I would have to contact them, but tbh this game isn't even linked with me, its linked with m AE profile, I'm not sure there is any way to find the real me from my profile (directly, I'm sure it's possible with enough research). And I'm not hiding I'm just saying that due to Sarah protecting and respecting closeted people wouldn't any action be directed at my profile, not me?

In any case, I did leave a comment on Sarah's AE profile after I posted it, I didn't want to do if before because if I had to explain it, it might sound like something big I actually really really need permission for, and if she didn't reply for whatever reason then people could never see it. Also doesn't Logo just ownAE and not Bridget? Even if she does have a show on the channel? Since I linked Bridget to it and she said it was funny and thanks for putting in the effort to make it I guess if there was actually a problem I'd just remove allAE references (and Sarah and Lori and Liz if they objected) and then there couldn't really be a problem. Idk.  Its just a little free, non-profit fan-game made in a day with free, low tech programs which Bridget has replied about in a positive way, I feel kinda weird defending that, but thanks for your comment anyways
