Game Development Team (Thread 2)

Come to think of it, I don't plan on leaving the team. It's too much fun. Me and Savagebob had a long discussion about the game and decided a few key things.

1.) Music. It has to have a good soundtrack. I like the Irish/Celtic stuff, but Savagebob doesn't. But I'm the bossafella'.

2.) Almost all of our characters will be designed by us, mainly using Charas-project.net's character generator. And with the help of Aurvian.

3.) I want to make it as original as possible. I liked the idea of making him and experimental weapon, but Dragon sumthing: Running water did that already. We need to think of something else like that. Sorta raise the bar, if you will(God, my art teacher is getting to me 'if you will').

4.) I should have enough to buy a CD burner soon.

5.) I started production on the game. I should have a demo soon.(2/3 weeks maybe?) I need ideas for mini-games.

How does the Irish/Celtic music go???

Have you played Lysander's The book of Three? He adapted it from a novel by some guy. All the music in it is Irish/Dutch/or Celtic. It is a good game. Good programming.

New Characters--Sier, Unknown, Fazier

Which means, Aurvian, I need facesets. All the Chars I have made, one face graphic please. Color it with photoshop if you want.

If no one has any objections I could draw the 3 main characters so far. Or the characters from my story or whatever story we chose that was posted here. By the way, we gotta have the title written with the BlackAdder ITC font. It is a little small, but it looks pimp.

As for mini games, I have no clue. We couldn't possibly do anything original, because its all been done before. Unless we do one that involves the entire continent/planet that the hero inhabits (final task/minigame) like finding some keys or pieces to something. ORIGINAL IDEA ALERT!!! The hero could move boxes to get across a platform or make a picture. Or he could need to flip switches in a certain order. I'm so original ........

I didn't want to tell you guys at first but, the player roams 5 islands before he gets to the world map. So there is a lot of space for extras.

Are the islands close to each other/small in comparison to the main world?? If so, that's cool. Or are the 5 islands the entire world? If that's the fact, then would you go to each island seprately? Like say you start off on kakariko island, then you beat the boss there, then you head to the continent of Hyrule? then afterwords, you need to go to each island again to get something so then you get to use an airship/blimp/plane to travel.

NOTE: Island names are taken from Zelda games. They are not originals. Just needed to clarify this. Some people would think I made them up, or call me a thief, and I don't feel like smackin' anyone down today.

The islands are not part of the main world. In fact, there really is no world map so to speak. Think about this: it isn’t a traditional world map. There is a large, and I mean large area between towns. But, after the towns are completed I or Savagebob have to go back and recreate the towns to be like 128x128 pixels. And they have to be animated. So, the world map is basically really a large area connecting the towns. To keep the lag down to a minimum I might put the world and the islands on a different map.

Edit: There is a world, as in a large chunk of world.

...perhaps you could give us a sketch to show what you mean

...perhaps you could give us a sketch to show what you mean

Well, its not that hard to imagine. A world map X however big and more detailed. That is basically it.

Bad news. The money that I was saving for a new CD-Burner was just used to by wood for woodshop. BUT! That doesn't halt production at all. Still working on it.

Aurvian, if you are still with us, I need a character sketch of a evil villianous type of guy. Red cloak, gray hair, the works.

Do I still have a team, or is this just a slow week?

If not, post your resignation! I can still make this work, but it will take longer!
I NEED NOT A TEAM! WAIT! I do to?! Or do I? Yes! And no! AHHHHH!!!!!!

Please stay with the team!

I'd say it's just a slow week.

O yea for the writers....some of the games concepts are starting to sound like suikoden 4 just a few things sounds like its tooken from that game... next I have face sets of 3 characters im still tryin to judge how Harris hair should look in a faceset way compared to what you have given me...Also I will have a sketch of the characters them selves sometime by next week cause of I have a few drawing classes so... you know with homework and shit and in college it aint no mere over night...

O yea for the writers....some of the games concepts are starting to sound like suikoden 4 just a few things sounds like its tooken from that game...

Don't blame me...I'd honestly never heard of Suikoden before this development team was set up...

the suikoden saga only appear for playstation for you who dont play platformers / playstation ... when I get home ill upload the pics

Yea, but I have absolutely nothing to do for the team at the moment.

I wish there was something I could do, but I can't create characters on the computer like the other guys. I can draw ok, so if you want like weapon designs, I could do that and name them. Just give me the go and tell me what style of names you would like.

Yea, but I have absolutely nothing to do for the team at the moment.

If you want you can help me design scenes, characters, and backdrops.
O yea draco before I do any scenes we need to know what the basic cutscenes movies will be, and we need to be familiar with the story...
Also for the writers Imma need to talk to you guys to about the characters ... I need to know their personality to show that ...

Like draw them on paper, scan them and send them to you so you can create them for the game?

If that is it, than yes for sure. Just let me know what type of scene and style, etc and I will get to work. New semester starting in school, so I don't have to worry about tons of work.

I am gonna be busy this weekend due to a tourny in a city, but I will do my best.
Once we get the first demo released, I will start work on a website too.

From what I can gather...it's gonna be a looooong time before a demo is released...it may be best to start work on the site now...I always find lots of problems when creating new sites...and they take ages to iron out...but that's me...

Should I make the layout be images (like the site in my sig) or normal coding like www26.brinkster.com/arkmune/canhis/home.asp (i made this for school)?

And if its an image site, I can use screens from the game or drawings of characters,etc and color them and use them for the background.

For some reason this forum doesn't like NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo

I believe it's up to you...you're the webdesigner...so...btw, none of the links work for me...
