Game Development Team (Thread 2)

Well after a long time of not being on, I am back. I have several new updates on the game(Syugen '1,' not 3). I decided we should relive the beautiful fantasy that was this epic saga... of fun... But anyway.

Characters from the first game-

Party members(In order from who you most see; first is main char.):
Jason
Emilia(RTP Name :>)
Harris(?)
Leroness
+ others (You name)

Story-

Jason(suprisingly, Lenny) wakes up on a beach. Wondering about who he is and not knowing who(Thanks Lenny for the amnesia thing *rubs head* oww.) He walks through the tropical forest and comes upon the village of (?)
where he meets Emilia. Yadayada, blahblahblah, mystic quest, save world, your usual RPG. ANY IDEAS ARE HELPFUL, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE TEAM.

Misc-

Many minigames.

Music especially made for the game(any composers? Anvil Studio is a good midi making program. Find it a RPGWolfpack.com)

Detailed environments* PLUS shadows if we use RMXP. I know where to find it virus-free and you don't have to pay lots 'o' money fo' it. But I can't say where. The blueman is around...

Heart-ripping(oww) stories with tearjerking or hairpulling moments... or both.

And that is all I can think of.

Oh yeah. Tyran, since you are a programmer, will most of the coding be done on your comp, and/or others pc('s)?

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

I've had some more ideas for the beginning cutscene...

It is quite like the idea of walking through the rainforest to a village, except there is no rainforest...

Here it is so far, with the little boat thing...

----------

After the current...events, the man is found outside the town by the night guards. They bring him in, and for the next week or so he is tended by a woman, who will later join his party etc. The basic storyline is they go travelling through the lands, looking for something or other. Whilst they are travelling, the party (more will be added later) finds an oracle of sorts, or something similar that offers to unlock the mans mind. He refuses. A couple of months or so later, the party run into the national army, who is at the time fighting their neighbours. They find the oracle again. His mind is unlocked blah blah blah, he turns out to be a weapon created for unimaginble destruction etc. You get the point.

When more is written, it will be updated...

I've had some more ideas for the beginning cutscene...

Continue to write so you can fuse you ideas with mine, but, over the past few weeks I have been getting my thoughts together with my friend who is our third writer, and we have gotten a lot of shit together.
Including,

-a script (movie form, but should work for a game, too.)
-custom programming (ex. a cinematic where Jason wakes up on the beach and see's Emilia standing above him. I need a talented anime artist to draw some parts for the cutscene. Preferably not draw by hand then scanned, but in computer drawn bmp or png so I can edit colors to atone for the scene. Wed-G <-- Director)
-computer drawn layouts for scene's (320X240 for correctness)
-a dictionary for Mésu-English (Excel or Word Format)
-and more still
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okle-Dokel. If you give me the script, then I could probably form a hybrid thingy with the two things. If you get my drift...alternatively you and your friend could do it. Just that I've got lots of time, and nothing to do with it...

----------

Idea about Emilia. She could be the one nursing him in the town, and then the part of the great wizard magic gets in the cutscene etc.

Just a passing thought...

I've just noticed this:

Music especially made for the game(any composers? Anvil Studio is a good midi making program. Find it a RPGWolfpack.com)

I'm musical. I could have a shot at this sometime.

----------

Hey, this program is good.

----------

Hey, this program is quite fun as well .

----------

Et Voila. My first masterpiece. He he. I call it...Game Over.

----------

As always, more will be added soon. This is just the first draft of it, I may change it, add some more instruments etc., and maybe change the ending. I don't really know. Let me know what you think of it...

I wanted to offer this to Lenny first, so anyone who is interested back off till I get an answer from him.

Would you be interested in writing a story the details the game. If I give you a script would it be easy to do?

I, as a writer, know how hard it is to come up with things, but if you wrote out a story that covers all the main parts of the game you can have the freedom to do write any new things you want. If you could do this, you won't have to write the script. Me and my friend can handle that(although he can't spell worth a shizznizzal.)

-------------
Look! I'm musical, too! It is not complete yet.

Jason, Emilia, Harris

I'd be happy to try.

I've got a few ideas already. In fact, more than a few.

And it shouldn't be too hard...though I tend to lean heavily on description...or at least I have done in other things...so you and your friend may be get a little annoyed trying to convert it all back to script form....

----------

You and I, and anyone else who is musical, bewteen us, we could create a symphony!

I don't know if it is just my comp, but when I tried to access the chipsets it came up with Forbidden Access.

Since I am the animator, can I get some concept art at least so I can start the thing, or at least do the opening? I drew some quick sketches from the charset above, but I need them to be confirmed, or at least approved. I dunno how im gonna get them here, but ill try something. If I don't get any concept/definate images ill just post the sketches and tell me what you think. And one last major thing, since I AM the animator...how are the characters going to look? Manga/Anime style or Batman/Superman comic book style? If it is going to be Batman/Superman, then I can't be the animator, because I only do the anime style thing. Sorry, but that's my style. Also, I need to know the personalities of the characters. The personality defines the look and the motions and body language of the characters. So far what I have is:

Hero: (1st character in charset) usual hero attitude. ready to go against the world full of energy.

Girl: (2nd character in charset) thel shy, loves-the-hero-secretly-yet-obviously personality. I think she is the one that helps the hero in the intro.

Anti-hero Hero: (3rd character is charset) He is the person who looks like a villain, yet has the heart of gold, and always tries to hide under his bad-boy, hate-the-world attitude. He is the one who would progressively get mushy through out the game (start as a hard ass, giving everyone a hard time; by the end of the game, he would be all, "YEAH!! Let's do this, this planet needs to be saved and we're the only people who can do it!"

So, if anyone can give me any more information, that would really help. Thanks!


P.S. WOW this one might actually work.

P.P.S. By the way, I am in California, so at the time of this post it is 6:44 P.M.. My email can be found by clicking my name at the top of the home page (where it says whose logged in)

Hero: (1st character in charset) usual hero attitude. ready to go against the world full of energy.

Sort of...but not really.

I'm a thinking of him as a character who keeps himself to himself. Full of hidden anger and dark secrets that come out in times of great...danger of sorts...take the scene where he goes psycho on the wolves in my little intro thingy. In the intro I imagine him as a tall figure...bulging muscles type thing...if you get my drift, the stereotypical body builders on the beaches, the tanned ones. I think of him as tall, dark and handsome in a rugged way. Shoulder length black hair...tangled...hardly looked after...I don't really know how else to describe him...maybe not as the 1st chara in the set for the intro...

Girl: (2nd character in charset) the shy, loves-the-hero-secretly-yet-obviously personality. I think she is the one that helps the hero in the intro.

Yep. Caring but when threatened, can turn nasty...

Anti-hero Hero: (3rd character is charset) He is the person who looks like a villain, yet has the heart of gold, and always tries to hide under his bad-boy, hate-the-world attitude. He is the one who would progressively get mushy through out the game (start as a hard ass, giving everyone a hard time; by the end of the game, he would be all, "YEAH!! Let's do this, this planet needs to be saved and we're the only people who can do it!"

Again, yes. Thinks highly of himself...but is made fun of by the hero and literally trodden into the mud beneath the hero's boots...secretly likes the girl, but tries as hard as possible to keep it to himself...and is extremely good at doing so...never or rarely lets his guard down...


When I get time, I will try and write out full descriptions of the characters.

I'm also thinking of having more characters...just a little thought...

Don't take the above as the final word in the matter, as I'm not the one who makes the decisions, and the above are only really ideas...

Nice descriptions of the characters everybody!

You practically described each character perfectly.

Harris is the strong bad-ass(sort of like Auron. He actually doesn't like the girl, but good idea.)
Jason is the one with the hidden past(partly because of the amnesia.)
Emilia secretly likes Jason and tries to help him everyway she can. Especially in the intro/scene 1 after Emilia finds Jason she takes him back to her house. In scene 2, soldiers come in the middle of the night showing her a picture of Jason and ask if she had seen him. She says no and they leave. The next day she tells her mother and she throws a fit and wants him out. He has not yet recovered and Emilia trys to reason with her mom. I'll tell more later. I have to go.
