Community Contest Re-start

[X-F3R]

 

The four part plan doesn't appeal to me at all. Too many differences in a game that's really going to only be two parts anyway.

did you read my post or robotams?

what i said didn't mean that you have to literally make the game 4 parts. what i said was to write the whole story out, divide them into 4 parts (maybe more if you want it done quicker) and give each part to a selected member to make. when it's all done, take all the 4 parts and put them into one project, making it only 1 part.

think of a totem.. lol.. let's say there's 4 faces in the totem. instead of 1 person making all 4 faces, he gets 3 guys to help him out. each guy works on one face. when they all finish, they put the totem together. mmmkay?

[Robotam]

About your idea, X-F3R.
I think we'll go for it, I already have another person who wants to do a part and I will of course do one as well.
It would be pretty good since that gives us a better chance to win the contest. Because you guys havn't forgot this is a competition, right?

Here's what we've got this far:

Charaset:
Tomi, you're the leader here. (we still needs many others help)

Facesets:
Mr.X and Shindo, you guys takes care of these resources. (We may need more here as well.)

Chipsets:
Robotam, yeah I'm taking care of this one.
Red Fox
Viper Snake
(We need a lot more here, this is our worst problem.)

Panoramas:
None.

Battle animations:
None.

Midi makers:
None.

Title and Game over screen:
Red Fox
(We need no more here, we all ready have a couple of screens.)

Monsters:
None.
(Xen would be a good choice here but where is he!?)

Backdrops:
None.

As you can see, we still need alot more.
And we may go for the 4 parts idea, anyone wants to help with that stuff?
But over all I think we're doing pretty good, aren't we?

[Robotam]

Yeah, I'm double posting but it's my thread and I should be able to post some news so yeah I'm double posting, sorry.
Anyway, to the good news.

I've found an exellent Battle animation maker, a guy called FrogKing.
It's not much other things that have happended in these hours so wait for more updates, here's a part of FrogKing's work.

[Tomi]

Not bad...

Anyway, how do you like my Idea for Mora? (I'm expecting to have to change it, so critisize away)

[X-F3R]

well u guys shouldve been active in AIM, chatting with one another.. Osmose, what do the characters look like anyway? describe them to us.. oo and what color are their clothes and etc etc.. =D cuz that charset is waiting to be improved =P no off.

[Tomi]

Well, the only thing Moose told me was to make her hair blue, so I have absolutly no idea what to make her look like...

[Osmose]

Fine, I guess I'm in charge of what they look like *sigh*...

Okay, you got Jefferson, so here's the rest:

Mora: Blue hair with two locks in front and a ponytail in the back. Purple-pinkish top-robe thingy. Ever seen the new Brother Blood design in the Teen Titans cartoon? Something along the lines of that, only pinkish purple.

Ignar - Simple green dwarf clothes, blond beard, pudgy nose, viking helmet, all of that. Big axe on his back, too.

Ordoth - Long black hair, and a dark robe that has legs instead of just robe down to the bottom. Red eyes.

Boar - Big man. Use the soldier template. Big black beard, but a bit graying, maybe with a streak of white somewhere. Messy black hair, sort of like Hagrid's face. Clothes can be chosen by you, Tomi.

Shira - White robe, short blond hair. Hood on the robe.

Tark - Orange short hair, glasses, brown pants, green tshirt, brown gloves.

[Shindo]

cooool, a robe with legs
HBut yes, just confirming what Moose said was True, i am willing to colour the faces and whatever else you may need me to colour.
heck, i may even be able to contribute something to the spriting scene.

Xen had to be absent for reasons regarding school (damn school). But I'm back now, but maybe still less active(?).

As for Monsters, and me being a possible person to make monsters for this, I don't have any spare time on my hands, because of my GCSEs coming up soon, and my mom wants me to revise, I have tons of coursework to do, and so on, and so forth. So there's a very small chance that I will be able to get anything non-school related done at all. Sorry.

The reason I asked you is, when you were thinking up the story, you were probably picturing the characters doing whatever.  Since I have no idea what you were thinking, I wanted to ask you.

Besides the blue hair and the beard, I had no idea what they looked like. I made those up on the spot.

And Robotam, I strongly suggest you DON'T do that 4 way idea. You'll get four vastly different parts that won't fit together the right way. I don't even think you can take 4 rm2k games and splice them into one. It's just not gonna work.

[Robotam]

Xen:
That's very sad to hear. We must have a monster maker, anyone out there?

Tomi:
I'm putting Osmose all in charge of all the characters. Which means you'll have to ask him what he thinks about your charaset.
No worries, I'm sure he think they're as good as I do.

Osmose:
You don't like the 4 part idea, eh?
It doesn't have to be bad that the game changes a little if it even does, and we will have alot more done in the end. I like that idea.
But it depends, we won't do it if don't get people to do it.
We'll see.

It seems like all midi makers are gone, we used to have alot of them. That's very.
Isn't there anyone left?
However, 7 pages in less than a week (atleast I think so).
That's very good, I'm glad it came along good in the start and that some people know we're serious.

[Osmose]

I'll do some story later, hopefully.

[Red Fox]

Heres a picture of the cave chipset .(it's not finished)

[Osmose]

Alright, so Mora and Jefferson have gotten through the Great Tree's Forest.  Now they're heading through the mountain pass beyond, and meet none other than their old friend Mr.Vampire. A bit of dialogue:

Jefferson: "Wait! I see something up ahead..."

*scroll to "ahead" and then have Mora and Jefferson run in from the bottom*

Jefferson: "Vampire!"

Vampire: "Please, call me Vidnir. I'd like to be known as a bit smarter than my other vampire brethren..."

Jefferson: "Enough! We're here to put an end to you and the Overlord."

Vidnir: "You think it's that easy to destroy the Overlord? Well, why not ask him yourself?"

*Vidnir moves aside as the Overlord walks in from above*

Mora: "The Overlord!"

Overlord: "Glad you recognize me. I'm flattered, really. But enough. You two have been a thorn in my side. I've lost three good soldiers to you. This must end NOW!"

*The Overlord throws a bean of lighting at Jefferson and Mora - they are thrown backward by the blast*

Overlord: "Children who play with fire are bound to get burned!"

Ignar: "Aye, but the old man who plays with fire just wants to cook his bacon!"

*Ignar jumps in from the cliff side and slashes the Overlord across his chest*

Overlord: "Foul dwarf! Your jokes are weak, as are you. Vidnir!"

*Vidnir rushes into Ignar and throws him back with Mora and Jefferson, who have just recovered from the spell*

Overlord: "Vidnir, finish them off. I must visit Ordoth."

Vidnir: "Yes, master."

*the Overlord beams away megaman style as Vidnir closes in on his prey*

Vidnir: "As my master said, play with fire -" *he lights on fire as he walks towards them* "- And your going to get burned!"

*enter fight sequence of Jefferson, Ignar, Mora vs Vidnir*

After our party wins...

Ignar: "Not so tough now, eh, flame boy?"

Mora: "Now to remove his amulet..."

Jefferson: "Wait, look!"

Mora: "What....? He has no amulet?"

*Vidnir rises and staggers backwards*

Vidnir: "Fools... I have no amulet... I am a REAL Vampire! And, as the control of the Overlord spreads, my powers grow! This will not be our last meeting."

*Vidnir warps away megaman style*

Ignar: "Lighty little fellow, that one is. But we showed him, eh?"

Mora: "Thanks for saving us, Ignar."

Jefferson: "Yeah, we definately needed you at that moment."

Ignar: "Think nuthin' of it, me lads! In fact, you might need me again in the future. This Overlord guy doesn't seem to be willin' to gie up his lil' quest anytime soon, so why not take this old soldier along for the ride?"

Jefferson: "We'll gladly accept your help anyday, old man!"

Ignar: "Ey! That's "Sir" Old Man to you! I may have a few years on ya, but a dwarf's ten times stronger'n any man any day."

Jefferson: "We'll just have to see that, eh? Ha ha ha ha!"

And so Ignar has joined our heros on the quest. We learn more about this mysterious Vampire, and we finally see the Overlord for the first time. Our heros, now full of determination to stop the Overlord, head north to the small town of Deckra. But the inhabitants are nowhere to be seen out in the streets, and all the houses are locked up tight. All, except for one.

Our heros enter the house and find a family, hiding in a back room with their daughter, Lilly. They explain how the evil sorceror, Ordoth, has been taking the young women of the town for his own evil needs. Our heros, full of bravado, enter his tower, after stocking up on the town that now welcomes their help.

Midway through the tower our heros pause for a rest, as we cut to a scene in the top:

Jess: "No! Stay away from me you mad freak!"

Ordoth: "Please. You villagers all think I'm doing something horrible to your women, right? I just need you for one little expriment, and you'll all be allowed to go home.

Jess: "Liar! All the other girls are over there, dead!"

Ordoth: "Dead? Don't be silly! They're unconscious. You see, I'm developing a new knockout potion that will work only by smell. So far my only successes have been with women, so I need women to test my new ones on. Once I've perfected it for young women, I can start refining it until it works for all people. Then, I can market it to assasins, thieves, all manner of people who will do what the will with it."

Jess: "I don't care! I just want to go home!"

Overlord: "Your lust has grown, Ordoth."

*Ordoth turns so we see his front*

Ordoth: "I have no lust for the unwilling! Unlike you, I have pride in delving in the dark arts, where your foul touch only puts me in the wrong mindset!"

*the Overlord warps in*

Overlord: "Why do you always treat me as if I am scum? We are brothers, both dark sorcerers, and of the same cloth."

Ordoth: "We know eachother neither by blood, nor by cloth. Only by my hatred for you will we ever speak."

Overlord: "Fair enough. But please, just hear me out. I come with news of great importance. Those heros I mentioned for you, Vidnir is taking care of as we speak. I have saved your expriments-"

Ordoth: "From some innocent travellers who might have ingredients I need. You don't get it, do you? I don't care what you're doing, or why, but it disgraces Black Magic. Now leave me before I try my new potion on you."

Overlord: "This deed I do for you goes unrewarded? You are not the honorable man I thought you to be."

*Vidnir warps in, badly hurt*

Vidnir: "Sir.... I have failed....."

Overlord: "Failure is not acceptable! You are lucky that you are a vampire, and your strength is guarenteed with mine. You shall fight them again, and you shall win then. But now, go lick your wounds, you dog!"

Vidnir: "..."

*Vidnir warps out, and the Overlord turns back to Ordoth*

Overlord: "You see, they are a danger to us all. They will not see you as a dark alchemist, they will see you as an evil sorceror! We must-"

Ordoth: "YOU must leave. Now."

Overlord: "Once my plan comes full fruit, you will be left behind, Ordoth. You have turned away a chance for the truth."

Ordoth: "The truth you know is but a lie of a lie."

*the Overlord warps out*

So we get a tiny hint as to what the story will do, and we learn of the quarrel between the Overlord and Ordoth. We cut back to our heros, who gather up and reach the top fo the tower. Ordoth attempts to welcome them, but they attack him. AFter they defeat him, he explains what he was really doing, and as a show of faith, returns the women to the town. Through a bit more dialogue, including Ignar not trusting him but Mora trusting him, Jefferson decides to trust him and heals him.

Ordoth apologizes for the mix up, and concludes his potion was far from completion anyway. He inquires as to their destination, and they explain their journey. He is intrigued by these events, and offers to come along with them to settle his scord with the Overlord. They agree, although Ignar reluctantly, and they journey off to Krok, the town at the base of the Overlord's mountain.
