New Charas Chain Game

[DragonBlaze]

As long as the player knows hes changing its fine, but if it happens without warning then its like wha?  I think I know how I'm gonna design my maps for the most part though!

Haha, well maybe the hero IS bipolar :p Also in the past, we've split up the chapters by having a chapter 'title screen' in between each chapter. For example, I start off my chapter with an image that says:

Chapter 1 - The Hungry Earth
By Zesher (The name I go by everywhere else besides charas)

So the player has somewhat of a cue that things are going to change up a bit.

No worries, it'll be a week from when you get it Did you say you were going to be gone for a few days? We could probably give you an extension if you need it so you can actually work on it for a week.

I'll most likely be gone Thursday to Monday (will know for sure tomorrow). If no one minds I might take a bit of an extension if not I can probably whip together something short with the time I have.

You could play a bit of the old one to get a bit of a feel how it will probably play.

Yeah you should take an extension then. Otherwise you may be able to switch chapters with someone if you want to wait till your less busy.

A bipolar character would be interesting lol.  I always thought it would be a good idea if the player played as the antagonist but didn't know it.  Like the game made you feel like what you were doing was the right thing, but turned out that you were the bad guy the entire time. 

I really look forward to what people bring to the table though.

Well I read it and I certainly think the main hero seems sound. The story looks adaptable from what I've seen in this. Yes yes. Very nice. Well I managed to get a battle animation done using a custom made gunblade, spur of the moment thing no permanent  and I just need to make a clean
template using the "three" stage swing that Purps did for the main character. After I do that I'll upload a mini demo-like file that'll show you how it works. Easier than me explaining and I can SHOW it to you. It's pretty basic and at my current count if you have two frame weapons, one with it unswung and another with it swung, then
we can have up to 22 weapons in a single battle animation. Oh and if you use the system's tint you can have more than double that in recolors <.<

Chapter 1 - The Hungry Earth

Eh good point, but due to the nature of chain games, it's probably going to be disjointed anyway. Our maps will look different, the dialogue will be slightly different, different styles, etc.

Yep. I noticed that in the first chain game and it is one thing that actually makes it fun. It's also why the more loosely the characters are described the better. Less character contradictions. Le'Carvat was mostly personalityless and is still one of my favorite characters from the plot to this day. Just don't try to be too blank. I think the way DB wrote Jack will work well as it gives us plenty to play with.

Like Revan in Knights of the Old Republic. How you main character turns out to be a brain washed and slightly brain damaged version of him. I always liked that little twist. Especially if you didn't know, played a Light Sider straight through till the truth was revealed XD

I've played none of those so I apologize for my ignorance regarding those game's stories

Haha I admit it, that's where the name for the chapter came from.. But ONLY the name, the base idea for my chapter started off drinking and other things with some buddies. We got into talking about evolution and darwinism, and then someone brought up how mother nature is a bitch and survival of the fittest only happens because the planet needs to consume blood... The conversation went progressively weird from there.

I keep checking this thread because I'm terrified my turn will sneak up on me suddenly.

Well sounds like it'll at least be interesting! o.O Through I will admit I wanted to see Lizard Babes XD!!!

Haha I always sneak a few lizard people into my games. I won't judge you if you consider them babes.

My chapter will be done tomorrow. I pretty much just need to make battles and items. Since i don't have battle chars for two of the party members, they'll have some random graphic, so someone else will have to go in and switch them over to use the correct graphics once we make them.

Was that an indirect request aimed at me perhaps?

All right, I'm pretty confident I can finish something with the time I have so I'll do the next chapter.

Alright sounds good

[Momeka]

The trip was postponed so I will have more time for the chapter.

[zuhane]

I'm confused now! There's a lot of pages and I can't be bothered to scan each one. Does this game continually move with the same
characters or does each chapter introduce a brand new story?
