My RPG ~ Quasigen Island ~ Demo Release Checklist!

[Uberpwn_w00t]

I'd like your opinion before I make any more significant progress. It was tough trying to capture some of the details within the pixel limit.

[zuhane]

That's very nice. They have a kind of scrawny, pathetic look about them which I wanted
them to have. You also seem to have included all those details on such a small scale.

Yep, looks great. Keep it up!

On the front page, I've allocated people to different jobs... if that's okay with them. If you
want to get involved then just ask

I've basically sorted the intro cutscene out, but it needs the sprites. So I'm leaving that for
now. At the moment I've ran into a little coding problem which I'm gonna have fun fixing!
That's about all that's happened.

I don't know what the policy is on double posting in your own thread with updates.
If it's like illegal or something then I apologize!

Anyway, the battle system is nearing perfect completion. Once I have the first enemy
sprite created by Uberpwn, a decent map and a few more sound effects to suit
the game better, you can expect to see a short demo on its way, which will show you
all the mechanics of the game.

In the demo you'll be able to have a short battle, equip a couple of Zone Icons and get
a basic feel for the style of the game. Unfortunately, you won't be able to customize
any Zone Icons or character traits in this demo. Yeah, that's it!

Hmmmm... what skills do you have? I'm always happy to get people onboard!

[coreystranick]

Spriting mostly, I'm helping AFL with character, and did all the characters so far for the community project game. I can make tiles too, but maybe not the jungle chipset haha.

[zuhane]

Ah brilliant. Well there's all room for spriters if the need calls. At the moment,
we're doing okaywith the monsters etc, but random NPCs and characters could
always be your thing if Uberpwn is set a stupid amount of work.

[Uberpwn_w00t]

Sorry for the wait...

Here's the Drone:

Couldn't figure out what to do for an idle animation, so he just stands still.

[zuhane]

That's effing brilliant! Thankyou very much Uberpwn. I couldn't really ask for it
to look any more how I wanted it to look!

[RockJohnAxe]

Nice Pwn, thats wicked!

[Rahl]

Any chance of a demo yet?

You wouldn't believe what a problem I'm having just creating ONE battle. Once
this battle has been created, it can be semi copy-pasted, meaning it will take about 30 minutes
to create a different type of battle. I just have to create the backbone, which is proving very
difficult, but still possible. I haven't had to stop because there's something I can't do, it just
means I have some horrific logic puzzles to figure out!

[zuhane]

Right, Uberpwn. Would you be able to make a small battle animation of
the impact of the blast from the Drone's gun?

Basically, you'd have to make a small green electrical explosion or splat if
that's okay.

And as an update, the a basic battle has ALMOST been created. I can feel the
battle getting pieced together better and better each and and it's nearing completion!

[Uberpwn_w00t]

I'm new to battle animations. Not sure how this will look in-game.

:D

Just tried it out and it looks fine. Thanks again Uber! The next thing I'd like to to focus on if that's okay
is adding more to a chipset.

If you look at this for a moment and then save it:


Basically, that chipset needs to all be custom. Currently, only the very small areas circled in red are
custom tiles not from games. If you could spruce it up by adding variations of tiles, potted plants, maybe
a few computer terminals and ventilation fans, that would be great.

You'll also see a weird picture underneath. That's my plans for the opening room. Would you be able to
sprite a counter/desk for the tileset, shown on the left, a chair and benches, shown on the right, A plasma
screen sign saying BML with a logo, which is represented at the top and finally, the circles at the bottom represent
floor lights. If you could sprite the map up for me, the game would start looking a lot more professional in an
instant. Thanks!
