Recruitment for Team

I know a midi creator called Anvil Studios. It has alot of instruments maybe you can rip some from their also I think its free but maybe a bit basic for you.

Yo, Dragoon here. I'm one of the script writers and wrote the plot that we'll be working with. If anyone on the team ever has questions about plot, I'll answer them.

Wassup ArmedDragoon...What's the plot?
Oh and thanks for the new post of the demo rei it only had BGM music so I was like but it's good to see I can now get my hands on a playable demo...although it's still downloading.

The demo still doesn't work. It says it's a was corrupt...
You should make a game disk maybe. I don't know I'll try it again tomorrow but I have fast internet so I doubt it was because of my net. Good luck with that. I know how annoying sharing a game can be.

After talking with Rei we decided that the digitally made art looks cleaner and better on a transparent background, so spend as much time as you need on that.

As for the story, it's pretty standard "guy goes around fighting things and saves the world" with some twists, I wrote a text file with most of the backstory written down, if you want that.

O.K It's no problem then. I agree in game it's better to have the digitally drawn stuff also since you don't mind it taking a while to get right initially but after that I can edit and change the expressions/emotion much faster. I'll start with the first ninja girl make as many expressions and move on to the next.

Yeah I saw her in the demo so she's gonna be first up.
Oh and when you go to the pathway it says it's missing a B.G.M or something, is that where it's supposed to end?

Is it O.K if I can help with the mapping? I have some Japanese tile-set combination's that I think would look cool in game. The Map was a bit dull like the square lake and the same giant houses...I'll make sure it doesn't affect any of the events. Otherwise it's coming along nicely...

Just to make sure, I make as many expressions as I can think of, color and shade them all and then you (rei) can edit them on photo-shop right? Like add light effects and smoothing? If not could you give me a brief tutorial on the program or post a you-tube link or something...

Thanks

3 songs in 3 days -_- they ARE remakes of older songs but they are probably the best I have right now. I'm starting to get used to FL studio. anyways please let me know what you think,

constructive criticism is appreciated =D,

non-constructive criticism will only serve to make me depressed =(

mega revamp- revamp of a song originally inspired by mega man music, I'm not sure if it would work for this game given that is sounds too much like mega man or some space shooter XD

volcano revamp- revamp of a song inspired by various "lets go into the volcano" songs in various games, if I had to say any game it was probably inspired most by FF1's volcano level, although it doesn't really sound like it. my favorite of the three songs, it's nice to work with virtual guitars that don't sound like crap for once. I think there'll be a place where it'll be needed

volcano battle- another revamp (even though it's not in the title) no instruments seemed to work right for this except piano because they all had one of 2 problems: 1 they sound like crap, or 2 they didn't have the range to play it. I'm thinking of updating this one if I can find something that goes with it and that makes sense. I'm also thinking that it could act as a battle theme... opinions?

all are in MP3 format, if this does not work let me know

Got YIM, I added all you guys to my contact. I'm e_k1993 on YIM. So when are you guys online? You can check the IRC thread, I posted a Time Zone map some days ago...

Good idea

Um guys, I'm still waiting for the password for the game. I think Armed got my PM. If you're reading this could you reply that? Thanks.
I want to see what emotion to portray at least for the first couple scenes rather than going in it blindfolded.

Wait here is a better example of my art.......
Hope you enjoy it

nope :lol3: dunno how :lol3: :lol3: :lol3:

mmmmmm Mi hands and my brain the second picture was scaned the first it was on paint i can do good things on paint but that pic is ugly cause i was lazy that day

Here is what I wanted to show you, I drew this by hand and colored it with pencil color then scanned it and made the coloring more smooth as well as added some basic shading and removed the white background so its transparent. It's not yet 100% done on the shading part but I prefer making my face-sets this way as the graphics tab is better for editing and complex coloring but as for the drawing part, it's like taking my drawing skill back 3 years back when I was still having trouble with basic proportion e.t.c. Plus it takes 4-5 hours to make a satisfactory to good face on that thing but drawing hand drawn faces will be faster and In my opinion look way better ( with some good editing of course to compensate for the smooth look you guys are looking for )

Oh that face is for my VX project for the main character called Nima. Just wanted to make sure everyone's O.K with this
( wouldn't want to make a forceful decision and shove it down your thoughts ).
Thanks.

Looking good. If you make sprites I will color the pictures for you acording to the sprite.
I'm glad you're willing to go into spriting. I found it too much hastle, I can help with any of the drawings though if you want.

I'm still practising with digital coloring so I'll post another face of the other ninja girl and then move on to emotions e.t.c.

Three weeks left of break so I want to make them count.

P.S Now I know who to see if I ever go to Arizona!

Tournament Side-quest

General Idea: After the player has completed the tournament as part of the story, they can return to the tournament and compete in it. When they enter the competition, they can only select one character to use. After that, they choose from 3 different tournament settings: “Endurance,” “Gauntlet,” and “Juggernaut.” They win some sort of prize when they win each of the settings. One thing they can unlock, however, is once they beat all three settings and the game’s story, they unlock a “Boss Battle” mode, which is self-explanatory.

Setting Elaboration:

-Endurance: Players must survive an extended number of waves of enemies in order to complete this tournament. A reasonable number could be about 25 or more with a decent difficulty setting.

-Gauntlet: In this mode, players face about 5-10 waves of enemies increasing in difficulty, the last wave being very difficult. This could be considered the “standard” mode as well.

-Juggernaut: Players encounter 3 waves of difficult enemies. These must be difficult enough to provide challenge, but not make it impossible.

-Boss Battle: Once players beat the game and all three tourney modes, they can then partake in this setting. Pretty self-explanatory; just defeat each boss in order until the end.

Prizes:

-Endurance: Maybe a scroll that increases health or stamina tremendously could be a fitting prize for this mode.

-Gauntlet: I would make this one improve magic or something.

-Juggernaut: A scroll improving power or defense.

-Boss Battle: A butt-load of money maybe?

Side Notes: All of this is subject to change, and I don't know if you guys want an "Endless" mode too. It is a rough idea of what we could use for the game, but if it is not what you guys were looking for in the tournament, then that’s fine. It won’t take long for me to create another one, and we could use this in another game. Please comment on what you think.
