[Updated] Piddly's Chance, a new TC mod for UT2k4 [Beta][Pic]
Hi all,
Today, on behalf of ChunkyHeads Entertainment, I announce our new TC MOD - Piddly's Chance; it is a 3rd person platformer that will present a variety of strange – even bizarre – puzzles for the player to overcome. In Piddly's Chance, take the role of Piddly, an aspiring game character, as he romps across game inspired environments. Utilize a variety of creative weapons, pick up and throw just about anything that’s not nailed down, and win points for great performances in this ultimately hilarious platformer. Piddly’s Chance has a great sense of humour, suitable for both kids and adults, that parodies videogames and their conventions in a parallel “game world”. It is unique compared to what has hitherto been done with the UT2k3 engine. The mod is compatible with UT2k3 but will be ported to UT2k4 before the submission deadline for Phase 3 of the 'Make something Unreal' contest on the 30th of May.  A world where video games are shot like movies and game characters live like people. Players can explore the backstage of each level's 'game set'.  Posters on the wall give vital gameplay hints and information.  Each level is it's own 'game set' Players can enter the set from backstage when they're ready to play!

 An open environment for the player to explore and interact with.  A dark creature lurks in a dark forest.  Humm... the dark creature looks a lot like Bub from Bubble Bobble!  Save the toad from the swarming sheep demons.  Then use the frog to solve the Frogger puzzle!  The cows are artificial but you can still tip them! |

 Throw a little sheep demon into one of those and it will process and spit out a clean healty sheep.  A herd of cows!  A poof of smoke...  ...and you have a new costume on with new abilities.  The sneak costume will help desposing of those frightful terrorists.  The parody elements tackle some well known moments in gaming history! This thread will soon be updated with some video footage of gameplay. We hope you like it! Last edited by kroxius; 05-23-2004 at 04:13 AM. |

Looks extremely promising
 Very sharp work, and I applaud the original use of the engine.

Reminds me a lot of Banjo Kazooie which was a good game.
I'll give it a whirl once it comes out |

This is cool. Even more proof that Jazz Jackrabbit could be done in 3d.

More about Piddly's Chance!
Hi all,
First off I would like to thank you all for your compliments and feedback. It was great to hear people were interested in the project and served as inspiration for the ChunkyHeads team. We've been working hard on getting the mod to a state where it can be submitted to Phase III and we're almost there. Right now we're cleaning bugs and polishing gameplay and tomorrow, 4th of June, the mod will be ported to UT2004. Some of you wanted to know about the team website, we didn't have a good website and we didn't have much time to work on one. However now that we're getting closer to finishing the Mod we had a bit of time and made one. I posted the link below. Some of you were impressed with the characters in the game so we decided to give you a sample of what those characters look like. Next week we should have written descriptions of what those characters are and what their purpose in the game is. We thank you all once more and hope you'll enjoy. ~ChunkyHeads Website: http://gamestudies.cdis.org/~chunkyheads  Although Piddly is a pretty hopeless character he seems to think he's out to Rescue the world.  That's our star, an incompetent errand boy who daydreams about being the next superstar in the wacky Gamaland.  Piddly has to dispose of terrorists so he figures dressing up for it is appropriate. |

 Piddly needs Toader's help to solve a puzzle, so what better way than tying him to his head?  They might look cute but I assure you the swarming demonic sheep are the very epitome of evil!  Flub, from the bubble kingdom, has made a nest in the Adventureland forest and he won't leave without the consent of the Actors Union. |

Still continued...
 Teresa helps Piddly when he's in trouble. She does like the little guy but some times she just gets fed up.  "HA Haaa !! It is I! the Vamire Ninja Mech..."  "...and I will Klick your blutt!!" That's our colorful character line-up. We hope you like it. ~ChunkyHeads Entertainment |

I love the concept, good to have more mods that don't involve the letters FPS. Nice how it's a spoof on a video game.
