New Charas Chain Game

[Meiscool]

Have there been any further developments that you could put on the original post? I'm finding it hard to keep up with all these posts :p

This.

Yay for sausage fest??

We do have some girls around but they are so artistically and aesthetic (just look at all the singing Zerl is doing) that they have a celebrities life to take care of or something.

Guise? What are your thoughts on us making our own resources for this game from scratch? We could make a 100% original content
game which could potentially be insane! I can also sprite / make music / program now, which could ease the process.

Except two maps and sound effect everything is custom on my chapter. But a bit late to impose this now that two chapters are already finished.

My thoughts exactly.


But feel free to do as much from scratch as you can. As long as it doesn't stop you from finishing.

[daoman89]

I'm adding my additions to RTP maps on my chapter and probably a song or two.  Try and stop me!

[zuhane]

Well in that case, we could just try what we could in a given time. If the game is "off da hook", then we could always look into
something like that later, which could potentially bring in lots of activity to these forums.

Well I have some hand made graphics. One of the monsters, a bunch of the NPCs, and some of the tiles were custom made by me :p The only problem with trying to make ALL custom resources is that it takes a long time and a lot of effort. Considering we each only have this game for a week (or supposed to anyway), 100% custom resources is probably impossible.

You bastard! :p

That's a good idea. And the game WILL be "off da hook", not IF.

This song will be playing

I have an idea of what I'm gonna do, but not for the story because.... It's impossible to know what the story is at this moment in time!

Eh. I miss Valiere. T_T She was fun and a talented spriter.

Listen to this man. I would have at least been more than half done with some of my projects if I only had all the custom resources I needed. Having a 100% custom game is awesome, but under the time limit we have it's pipe dream. Better to have a 90% custom game.
Since I spend most of my free time makign custom sprites or editing others till their nearly unreconizable I'll have plenty of custom graphics. What I'm worried about are the battlers. Ah reminds me. I can still do the battle animation battlers, but if everyone wields two weapons I will
have to make two animations per weapon. ^_^; This could over work even me. So maybe I should only make special weapons battle animation based? Unless you guys want to me work on a bunch in separate file then transfer them to the completed game?

[Archem]

Yeah, Val was great.

[Meiscool]

That one girl who used to talk about her kid all the time was a good spriter too. I don't remember her name but she had a game called Legend of Lunaira or something like that.

Whatever you'd want to do. Do we need separate animations for different weapons?

[Fisherson]

Not if we do it by classes. Liek I said originaly you could fit 20 something weapons in each battle animation file and all it'd take is some swapping out of frames to make a new one. For example I can use a regular old Bent Sword in one animation then go back and replace those cells where the character is swinging the Bent Sword and
swap them with a Steel Sword of Creature Felling. In fact if each character uses only one group of weapons or a weapon and sub weapon combo I can fill out all the character's weapons pretty easily. It's when you get into "Anybody can equip anything" that it get impossibly hard to fill all those potential sheets. @_@
