Pico's School DX

Posted by Kenney - April 12th, 2013


Pico's School DX is a remake of the original, staying true to the originals look 'n feel.

While I was going to create an original Pico game at first I thought it would be a good idea to first remake the original to get a good grip on the style and gameplay mechanics. So if people like this, there's more to come.

The game will feature new and old medals (even a medal that will be unlocked after you unlocked a medal in a different game on Newgrounds, is that a first? Guess it is) and all the secrets of the original will be included plus some new ones.

It'll be released on Pico Day (April 27th)

Also, become a fan of me. It'll be fun!

PS. A group of Spanish catholics is trying to get my game, Vatican Quest, off the web. lol. [ Article ]

hmm, no

Okay, I will cancel the project.

Can't wait.

You'll have to.

Catholic church...
Have fun fighting stupidity! :D

Hah yeah, best to ignore really.

This looks really good :D

Thank you!

"Why I hate newgrounds"

"I don't"

I thought that's what this would be titled

Well I thought more people would actually be interested in my project for once, so I didn't give it a troll title :)

its actually awesome i love pico

Good!

original look and feel? where are the harsh gradients??

nah, it looks sweet.

Hah, well I did try to update the graphics though but I didn't really change the style of the characters like in other remakes and/or sequels.

This looks pretty awesome! :D I can't wait , for it ! :)

Glad to hear that!

Very cool I look forward to playing it and since you aren't saying it's a sequel that means I'm not gonna be tricked right. Right?

Well, at first I didn't knew if I'd make it before Pico Day but the progress I've been making recently leads me to believe this is gonna be real.

Is the teacher holding her own head?! o_O

You caused quite a stir with that game! That's a long article... I bet they're just embarrassed because you're making a parody of the truth, lol.

Yes.

And yes, it's quite funny how to try to ban the game but instead get it more publicity.

The only thing i hope is that you won't pay them money just so they could not remove it..

I absolutely won't, I won't pay anyone and there will be removed nothing.

fuck the vatican tbh

Sure, let's fuck 'em.

Wait a sec. Are you telling me that there is a chance for an (un)official Pico's School sequel?
Now I'm even more excited :D
Will you add some new music to the game? I mean, the original music was great back then, but now it would be great to have some diversity, for example different music for different bosses.

Yeah, there's a chance. The music of the original is being re-arranged by ZStriefel who's doing an amazing job. I'm not sure if there will be any new music though, we'll see.

Looks great! Care to reveal your secret on how to make a medal unlock only if a medal in another game is unlocked? That could be useful to know. But if it is a secret...

Basically I'm going to load the source of the original game into the new game and then check the HTML to see if the medal is unlocked or not. It's very hacky and I'm not sure if it'll work but if it does I'll write some instructions on it later on.

Good luck, that would be a useful feature. Great way to link sequels to previous games, and remakes to originals, etc. Btw, maybe you've experimented with this already: would it be possible to check for medals on multiple games in one flash directly via the API if you know the encryption/ID for those games?

Hm, haven't tried that yet. Might need to do some research on that.

looking awesome hahah

Thanks!

You know you're famous when a lot of people are mad at you.
Congratulations, really! XD

Yes, I'm waiting for my first death threat to arrive :D

Looks awesome. Try to make it at least a little bit different story or something from the original?
