Title: 5th Cell unveils Scribblenauts
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on December 05, 2008, 08:47:33 PM
Scribblenauts goes by the concept, "Anything you write, you can use." The hero Maxwell has the power to utilize items in levels called Starites which allow him to later spawn material in the real world for his needs. Ladders, tools, weapons ... goldfish, even. If you can dream it, Maxwell can conjure it, and hopefully both of you can use it to solve your puzzles.
All I have to say holy crap that is a interesting mechanic, you guys have to check out the trailer and the interview.

I am very intrigued, if not a little skeptical just based on the ridiculously awesome scope of the game...Definitely going to keep an eye on this one...

Thay say you can feed an elephant to a shark in this game. And give the shark lasers. If so I'm buying, like, ten.

That trailer really sells the game. Each solution is wackier than the last. This game needs competitions to come up with the most bizarre solutions possible.

Well the trailer shows multiple angles to the puzzles, so I doubt it'll be a "only one word will progress the game" sorta deal...

And if I remember correctly in the interview it said if you revisit a specific puzzle and if you try to solve it the same way it won't let you which is neat since it makes you think creatively.

I said this in the Talback thread. The games looks incredible and I'm very excited, but I wonder if the scope is too ambitious to fully realise it. Mostly I'm concerned that with the sheer amount of ways to solve puzzles, they'd have to be pretty generic. And easy.
EDIT: Jeremiah Slaczka is an awesome name.
EDIT 2: What will they do for nouns with multiple meanings?

I am most excited about seeing how many times I can complete each puzzle. Since you can't use the same item twice the difficulty will go up every time and you will have to be more creative and think of new objects with the right applications.

This game is so rad its a definite buy for me. It'll be nice to put that touch screen to good use since I haven't been playing any games with the stylus lately.

At this point, I'm fairly convinced that the core mechanic of Scribblenauts works as advertised, and that's an amazing accomplishment. What remains to be seen is whether the developer can design interesting puzzles and levels that will actually give me a reason to think of clever words. A level editor with online sharing would also be an excellent addition to this kind of game.

I guess you could see that as your score for the level, how many times you've beaten it being forced to use a different method each time. Pretty neat.
Title: Re: 5th Cell unveils Scribblenauts
Post by: KDR_11k on January 11, 2009, 02:43:47 AM
I'm wondering if methods mean item interactions or items themselves, the latter could lead you to end up blocking yourself. E.g. if you used a bomb (not armed) to hold up a piece of wood and form a slope you wouldn't be able to use the bomb in a later attempt to explode something even though the used solution differs.

How has this game not been talked about? I know people tend to ignore handhelds compared to consoles but this game looks amazing.
The ways to solve puzzles, the number of them, and the sheer creativity. The stories alone about the amount of interaction possible should put the hype for this game off the charts!
Title: Re: 5th Cell unveils Scribblenauts
Post by: that Baby guy on June 15, 2009, 03:58:40 AM
I'm curious about this game, but a bit worried. Isn't it the same team that created "Drawn to Life?" That game, at it's core, was unique, but a dull trek. While the concept of it creating anything you name is fun, how's the actual substance of the game? Anyone know?
Title: Re: 5th Cell unveils Scribblenauts
Post by: SixthAngel on June 15, 2009, 06:38:44 AM
They say there are over 200 levels so there seems to be plenty to do. There is some kind of achievement system and a way that lets you play the same level again but without being able to use any previously used words. All the levels can be edited and shared with other people.
The e3 videos showed mostly basic puzzles. He has to get something in a tree, get a whale into the ocean, give a chef and fireman what they like, and one where he had to find a way down a hole and around a shark only to climb again to get to the goal. I liked the last one because he glued boxes to make some stands, dug through the ground and used a toaster to electricute the shark.
None of that includes the videos of everyone goofing around where they summon a werewolf, go back in time to the medieval period to drop tnt on the king, turn invisible, go back to the present and then summon Cthluthu and make him fight God who is riding a skateboard and using a shotgun they gave him.

So I got my NP the other day and there was an article and interview within its pages.
Here is the gist of the interview.
The idea came about with the creative director thinking about Mad Libs style game.The second part was when he had a dream that he was trapped in a room and had to figure a way out.These two ideas was the basis for the game.
There is 2 modes.Puzzle and Action.There are 10 different main worlds.Those range from metro,wilderness,Ancient history to future worlds,underwater and outerspace worlds.There is 280 levels.
Some restrictions are nothing vulgar,copyrighted,suggestive,or overtly religious.No proper Nouns and adjectives. The currency system is called Ollars.You get them by completing levels,writing new objects,solving puzzles in unique,unconventional ways.You can use them to buy additional level packs,avatars,and music.
The Wi-Fi functionality is used for creating and storing levels.You can share your levels locally and online.

Note that there's no capitalization, so this isn't THE "God", it could just be A "god" or "GOD". Although one might read into the interaction between GOD and EINSTEIN...

I went to the Nintendo World Store release today and picked it up! I had a lot of errands to run today so I haven't really played that much, but it's really a great game- it feels like everyone will have their own style to play and it kind of reminds me of the way Tetris is played by everyone. The 5th Cell guys were at the store signing atographs and there was a huge Scribblenauts cake! I got a cupcake and a one of those note pads that have been floating around, I didn't get an autograph, but I got some pictures and stuff. This game is Great!!

Check it out: (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3461/3917688712_f09d7199e7_o.jpg) This is officially my favorite game for the DS, maybe my favorite game ever!

I just drove down to TRU to get it only to find out that they don't open till 10am
edit: I just bought Scribblenauts and as he was about to give me my gift card, he realized they didn't have any promotional ones for the game. He grabbed one of the gift cards off the rack, but I had to stop him. He grabbed a diamond ring looking giftcard. He put it back and grabbed the only other one on the rack, a Bratz card. So I left the gaming area and and had to grab my own more generic gift card.
Anyways. I'm off to play the game.

I thought this game was gonna be relatively easy with me just using whatever I want to do whatever I want, but I don't alwas get what I expect, and when I do it doesn't always have the effect that I expected.
Having said that, level 11 of the gardens took me way too many tries to solve.
I typed in transporter, and was surprised to find myself in the 5th Cell office(?) with the staff members(?), one of them a zombie. not the desired effect at all.

I had a lot of trouble with 1-4 puzzle stage in the gardens. It drove me crazy all night! I did the exact same thing about an hour ago! Any clue about what Marius Fahlbusch would want? I gave him a sandwich money and a wife, but they didn't work.

Well, I was going to hold off on it a bit longer, but I think I'll pick it up, seeing as how apparently the puzzles are more than just "Write an object, the object will almost always get you by." That was my biggest fear, that despite how unique everything acted, it really meant squat in the gameplay of things.
I'll head out and get it in a little bit, along w/ Mario and Luigi 3, as well as The Office season 4. Take 'em all down at once.

On some levels you might think, Hey I need to get up there I'll just use a helicopter. But then you realize that a helicopter is just too big. So you have to be a little more creative than that.
There was a level with a flower lady (puzzle 1-11). I must have died about 15 times before I figured it out and I tried all kinds of things. So trust me that it is not as simple as "win button" YAY I win.
..... maybe I should try that, just to see what happens.
Title: Re: 5th Cell unveils Scribblenauts

Win button makes a Starite, but it doesn't actually count.
The game has so far underwhelmed me. I'm not through with it yet, so my opinion can change. So far, I'd have more fun just standing there and summoning things to see how they interact, rather than playing toward goals.

Nah, not really. Don't make me go through a whole list of games that I've enjoyed. This game is better than Drawn to Life, but there's little to it that's fun aside from watching how what you draw interacts with what is around you...
...Only so far, I've been asked to make people happy by drawing something they'd like, and there's be very little interaction.

It's a very simple in nature puzzler. You can solve puzzles in countless #'s of ways and they even challenge you to figure out different ways to solve the same puzzle.
The action puzzles have proven so far to be more difficult, but i haven't given it the same amount of attention that I did to the regular puzzles.
I just want to know why the volume is so low on this game and why it won't play the song I choose.

But to complete a level with a gold star, you have to beat a level 3 times without typing in the exact same thing again.
M only real complaints with this game is some wonky physics & that Maxwell is retarded and need to learn to stay put until I tell him to move.
I'm on level 4-11 and you need to make a bridge of some sort or a way to get the king across a large gap. So I try to do something overly complex like put a bridge ladder across the gap and use two ramps on the sides with a boulder in the middle so he can get across. I did this because he knocks the bridge off if it's by itself. But everytime i put a ramp on the right side, the bridge shoots off to the left like it was fired out of a cannon. while I continue to try and fix it, maxwell keeps taking an unintentional stroll into the lava below off screen and killing himself.
It would be nice if there was a way to lock him in place so he doesn't move by accident when he isn't even on the screen.

It could've been item tested a little more, but I essentially got it for $15 so I ain't mad. Some puzzles just seem extra difficult because the items you pick don't react or work the way you want them to.

I got a level I just can't figure out. I think I've done what they want, but nothing happens.
The level is 6-2 and the logic puzzle is "Hatch it before mommy returns". There is a dinosaur egg and a T-Rex. I have no idea what to do.
I've gotten the dino out of the egg after separating it from the T-Rex and then nothing happens. I've killed the baby dino and nothing happens. I've broken the egg afterwards and nothing happens. If the T-Rex dies, "try again", destroy the egg "try again". WTF do I do?

For hatching the egg:

Post by: SixthAngel on September 21, 2009, 01:30:19 AM
I think this is the answer Bnm. The dino that jumps out first isn't from the egg. I think it is one of those dino's that hide in the nest with the eggs. I think you still have to get the egg.
I am on the Back to the Future puzzle. I forget the number but I can't figure out what to do. I've driven really fast into the lightning bolt but it hasn't worked.
Flying: Flying animals are the only way to go. They have no time limit for how long they stay in the air and are small enough to fit in most levels

I have to say, this game is great. Yeah it has some wonky controls but it is so fresh and new, not to mention it makes you think in ways that no game before it could ever dream. Is it a flawed game? Yeah it is rough around the edges but it more then makes up for it with its charm and creativity.

Actually the hint is spot on, it never game me a problem. I tried to help you without giving away the answer. When you empty the egg you get a nest dino but when you hatch it with heat or fire you get the real deal HATCH the egg. my solution I used heater. It has waves of heat that melt ice and hatch eggs. I"ve beaten every puzzle except 8-11, the Back to the Future one.
The very last action level makes me want to murder the makers of this game.

You guys actually had trouble with 6-2? I solved it on my second try and that was only because I messed up. I knew the solution instantly.

Now you say so. I asked about 6-2 days ago. It said hatch. I ended up cooking the egg with fire so I don't see how that hatches it.
I didn't think to incubate with some way to keep the egg warm like a blanket. ..... what did you use to incubate by the way.
Right now I'm working my way through 7 (logic) & 3 (action) but the controls can be so unpredictable that it gets frustrating at times. I hope this gets a sequel and they fix all the oversights.

This will make levels with switches much easier. Electricity will flip a switch. I figured it out when I dumped a microwave in the water and a door opened up. Electrocuting the water will flip the switch so I tried a lightning cloud and it will flip switches on dry land. It makes some of the levels a lot easier.

I thought up a word that gave me a grey 3 headed dragon. Now I wanted to use it again, but can't remember what it was called.
Can all of you help me out? Give me words that might lead to what I'm looking for.

Trigon or Hydra, perhaps?

HYDRA!!! thanks, I was trying to remember what it was that I typed all day yesterday. It was driving me crazy.
p.s. Trigon doesn't work.
GP you should try Giant Enemy Crab or Massive Damage
This game is full of memes. Think of one and type it in and its probably there. There is a ceiling cat level and a GEC level. Others I put in was keyboard cat and philosoraptor. I put in Orly and it gave me an owl too.
The last puzzle level is really cool and the last action level is infuriating. It is something like a par 24. After you finish it please tell me what you did and how long it took you, all in spoilers of course.

It will be a while before I get to level 10. Level 7-10 was frustrating enough that I had to put the game down. I knew exactly how to beat it, just like everything in level 7 (all gold stars 1st time through except 7-10), but so many things kept making people die for no reason like Maxwell flinging the sub out of the water and up against the cave ceiling, or one of the soldiers I rescued getting up on the aircraft carrier which then popped out of the water and bashed him on the head repeatedly until he died..... 2 seconds before I could grab the starite.
So many things kept making what I thought would've been simple (if they game just did what I wanted it to do) became so difficult for such stupid reasons. Took me like 20 tries because of all these random deaths from random occurrences.

I died a few times but I never got frustrated with that one. It iwasn't that hard if it is the one I'm thinking of (it is the one with the two navy guys hanging by a rope right?).

Yeahb thats the one. It wasn't hard, I knew exactly what to do as soon as I started the level. Stupid game mechanics kept getting in the way and making people die for reasons that had nothing to do with what I did. Like when the navy guy drowned all on his own or when my rowboat jumped out of the water(because the navy guy jumped on it) and flew into the dividing wall then turned red (with an X). Stupid things kept happening that would interfere with me have a perfect run through level 7.
I haven't cussed at a game this much in a long long time.

Oh, and re: switches
electricians, mechanics, engineers and machinists will all flip switches for you if you put them near one.

I bought it despite all the complaints and the German dictionary is fail, I've hit several common terms it didn't recognize, most importantly laser. I tried Flügel (grand piano) but only got the option of wings and something else, inputted Klavier (piano) and got a grand piano...

Really? I could have swore laser worked, it gives you a laser gun

I suppose they just took the stuff that was in the English version, translated it and left it at that, never bothered to check whether the translations are common terms or whether the dictionary is mostly covered (basic terms like child (Kind) are missing! Instead it suggests Kleinkind (baby)).

I decided to purchase this. Mymemory.co.uk has it for £21 which is pretty good but Royal Mail has been striking for the past 10 weeks or so meaning post is really badly affected. So i went elsewhere, paid £26, and am guaranteed delivery to work tomorrow.
Yes i know i'm crazy but Henry Hatsworth will be sold on to make up fir it. (sorry jonny! grinding is just not my thing) Scribbletrons better be worth it.
