Title: Avatar Wars: The game
Post by: X_marks_the_ed on December 14, 2006, 08:07:00 PM
Theres a dispute between whether this should go in Creative arts or Games, so I'll put it here. If anyone else thinks this should go somewhere else the mods will take care of it. I would put this in games, but I'm using Game maker, nor am I using charas-generated resources, except for two or three characters.

The gamewill be Super Smash Bros. style game in which the popular Forum Game "Avatar Wars" will be occuring. The plot is still under development adcharacters for the game are almost compiled. Each will have their owns skills, specials, and costs.

Features planned for the game:
-Controller capabilities
-Chatting with other players in the match
-Secret characters
-Abilities and specials based on Charas Pub antics and/or actions from other threads.
-N00B KILLING!!!

The following Charas members have already been selected to be in the game: SaiKar, Meiscool, Chicken Man, Moosetroop, ZeroKirbyX, Razor, Nutter, Warxe, Warxe II (secondary profile), Alex, and Darkfox, Bluhman, Archem.

The following Charas members will be up to you to vote for on the site in my site (site is still under construction, though.): Blaze_shinigami, Ghostclown, Carmen, Dragonium, Ppl_mage, Ruler of the Dark (This will be his name), jynce, Darkflood.

If you'd like to apply for voteship, jus PM me. If I think you're worthy, you will appear in a poll.

If you have any questions or suggestions or curiousities about your character, just post.  :happy:

I've decided to allow created characters as seperate characters. So those with a game in progress will be able to use one of those characters in the game along with themselves.

However, if you want this, you must supply your own spritesheet.

I have a question: Will you be asking the [still active] members a little about how their move-sets will work, or are you planning on implementing your own?

I really hope that you wont use MegaMan edits, they are sooooo overused.

Why am I not in there? As I recall, I was a big contender in the Avvy wars.

Post by: Archem on December 14, 2006, 11:38:55 PM
Apparently not as big as you thought... Also, you're really not all that active. I'm sure that might play a small role in your exclusion.

Post by: Daetyrnis on December 14, 2006, 11:55:52 PM
Perhaps because you don't really have a memorable avatar that someone can pin you as?

On the contrary, I do.  Either the badger or my RP character: Daetyrnis.
Do I have to PM you, or is this okay?

Post by: Meiscool-2 on December 15, 2006, 12:39:16 AM
Because I didn't have an exact sprite for my ava wars, are you going to be using Sasuke for me or something? Oh, wait, I think I had roy.

Anyways, I've been working on a Tales Of style sprite of my game's character (sadly, I don't have a Meiscool sprite set), if you need that.

EDIT: Ah, here we are. Doesn't mean you have to use it, just felt like showing it.

@Archem: Skills are based on your avatar character's abilities. (For example, Chicken Man has big clanky armor, so his speed will be pretty low.) However, special attacks can be created by the actual member but if no idea for their special is PMed to me, I'll create my own or use one I find on the spritesheet.

@Ppl_mage: I'll look at the avatar and try and find the character in a spritesheet, so no. I hate megaman edits too.

@Darkflood2: You're not mentioned because you didn't come up when I began designing it. You can apply to votehood by PMing me.

@Daetyrnis: I'm sorry. I don't know enough about your past posting activities to apply you for pollhood.

@Meiscool: I'm trying to keep this to AVATAR Wars. I cannot accept a character from your game unless I actually do decide to have a seperate section in the game created characters. If such a thing were decided. Be warned, I'll use Dirk.

@ZeroKirbyX: Yes, yes you did.

I've updated the site a bit already. The current backstory is complete, but may go under revision for cliches and such.

Dragonium, you have been accepted for pollhood.

I also may be recruiting for moderators of the website and/or resource artists.

You can now post your comments and questions on the site as well. If you want me to read it, I suggest you post it there because this site won't load on school computers during free time.

Yay for pollhood/polldom! :D

I dunno what style of graphics you're using (Probably because I didn't read something properly. xD), but just in case, I attached Dragonium's charset. Maybe either you or I can do something with it.

As I already said, I can do resources if you need them. Ask me for anything.

Thanks again man.

Hey, that's right, I was making a sprite sheet for Ava-Wars 2 way back when... Wonder what happened to it?
Title:
Post by: Darrellito on December 15, 2006, 10:41:09 PM
So what kinda element is this game gonna have? I mean i know it's super smash style, but is it gonna be kinda side scroller like that or is it gonna be 3 dimensional?
Title:
Post by: Meiscool-2 on December 15, 2006, 10:47:35 PM
Sweet, I'm Saber.

EDIT: I'm now very interested in this. Things I want to know:

About the boss thing, does it mean that if a character who is a n00b is choosen, they fight me some time during the story mode? If that's the case, would that also mean that if I were to choose my own character, I would have to fight Sai, Alex, and Teh Lord?

Also, a good boss fight would be a tag team with me and ZKX on one side. ZKX and I seem to always be together when an arguement comes up.

Another thing, is Alex's special over powered a bit? Or is it 50% of the player's current health?

Lastly, dunno if you noticed, but I "shouted" that you send me the Saber Sprites you have. If they are the sprites I think you have, you will make me a very happy Meiscool.

OTHER STUFF: Seems like I'm the only person that has voted. Well, if your game has powerups in it, I would suggest making some characters be powerups instead of putting them in the game as a playable person. Like, for example, Archem could be a powerup. Dunno how exactly your game works, so I'll refrain from making further suggestions.

XD I remember that! But although that would be cool, I'd still like to see me as an actual character... But I guess I'll take whatever I can get.

Actually, you're kinda both. I've planned to put this in:

During some fights, a random ally will be selected. If you are that ally, you become a powerup for that player. For example, ZKX were about to fight Lord Raffles. Ifyou are the ally, you would fuse with ZKX and become Arc-ZKX. The player can then choose which skill to maximize. Attack, Speed, Defense, Tracking (which, is different, instead of maxing, it's drop to 1), or Health.

Yes. No. You would not have to fight Sai or Alex because you are not a negative style fighter. The negative style fighters are:
-St. Lucy (n00b)
-Lord raffles
-Any neg. character and/or De excluding Neg. Archem.

It will be 2d. Technically, it'd be a side-scroller, but not much scrolling will occur. It's not Mario where you run across a level grabbing stuff. It's one big arena where the competitors fight.

Hm, Ed if your gonna use Roy, speed takes presidence over attack, plus he's not a mage. ZKX is the strong and slow one. I need to finsih that damned Roy sheet, he's changed so damn much since I made that sheet.

By mage, I do not mean he is one, I mean he uses attacks that are impossible for normal humans to perform. Roy uses flame attacks, which is impossible for us to do.

I'm still thinking of a word to replace mage with. I've been thinking supernatural.

@jynce: I'll poll you, but I have a feeling not many will vote for you.

@Meiscool: I posted a link in the shoutbox of the site.

@Almeidaboo: I don't think I'll be able to find a spritesheet for an author. :P

DAMN DELETE BUTTON!

I meant to edit the post. :(

Do you think Alex should use a bot?

Heh, sweet. If you pull this off It'll be great. Do you need a spritesheet for me? Because that'll take quite a bit of time which I'm not sure I have :p

Maybe instead of mage use Kinetic? i.e. pyrokinetic, aerokinetic, etc

Makes sense.


Meiscool, how does this look? I know the head doesn't have as thick an outline, but a quick brushover should fix that.
Title:
Post by: Meiscool-2 on December 16, 2006, 08:22:25 PM
Looks ok. Doesn't seem like there's a neck, but I don't know what exactly you'll be able to do for that.

What I don't like are the dots all over. Even though it's a png file, the dots make it look like a gif image. If there's a way to fix that, it'd be nice.
Title:
Post by: X_marks_the_ed on December 16, 2006, 09:37:45 PM
Yeah, I fixed that. Paintshop tried to match the scheme of the head with body. I disabled that feature and it looks fine now.

I'll finish it tomorrow. However, I've decided to allow created characters as seperate characters. So those with a game in progress will be able to use one of those characters in the game along with themselves.

However, if you want this, you must supply your own spritesheet and a face.

Here's what I have so far:

Try the domain address. It has an ad page before the site, but I use it to access the site during school. It's avatarwars.tk

Off-topic: I finished my created character's spritesheet. :)

http://www.freewebs.com/avatarwars/dirk%5Ffinal.png

I have decided to post final results of polls when they reach 20 votes each, or when they reach a state when there is no way to change before 20 votes.

Therefore, the following will be put in the game:
Bluhman

The following will continue to be open:
CoasterKrazy (Only able to be tied (one final vote allowed) or denied.)
Archem (Only able to be tied or accepted.)

The following will not be in the game:
Jek (as a noob)

The following will be up next to vote for:
Blaze_shingami (emiiru)
Ghostclown

If it's about Meiscool's big spritesheet, I was going to shrink it after finishing it.

As for that, I factored it in. It's under tracking. The higher it is, the easier it is to hit them.

Do you have Mugen?

I've recently discovered that mugen/typemoon has made a FSN Saber character, and if you're good at ripping, you could use that. I can't seem to get it to work, but I could send you the character or the site if you're interested it using that instead of a chibi saber.

What do you mean by "spritesheet for an author"?


Sorry I never answered this, but isn't your avatar of Thomas Pynchon, the author with a paper bag on his head trying to be mysterious?
