Topic: Anyone up to making a game?

@Kaiser Cool, thanks. Means a lot.

Kaiser great job summarising it. I think the idea looks a lot better now, though the name of the main character might want to be thought about a bit. 'Tim' is a little bit too ordinary in my opinion. I am really liking the idea of the world being stolen to create domes of different environments, its quite unique.

Hi. I just remembered the other day that my sketches were at my fiances moms house. I was spending time yesterday trying to set up software to sketch it again. I'd like to show it' but without the original sketches I'm not sure how close I'll be to what i had done. Plus I have to put brushes in Corel Draw 8. I'm not used to this program. I like Illustrator better. Every time I draw a line in Corel, I get this stupid thing around it to adjust size and shape (really annoying).

Edit: @Yai: Agreed.
I have one name that popped to mind, Bucky? _{Have to think some more}

I missed seeing your avatar Yai. I just used Tim as a placeholder like the guy before me. How about LOLZMAN. Yai that reminds me, did you ever draw that design?

Alright, thanks for the suggestions. I'll work on it.

Haven't really had time. Had a rough week and this week I am doing some stuff on liteIRC client. I will get to it though.

Sorry to hear that Yai, are you currently enrolled in classes?

Could you guys post a loose task hierarchy? I'd be willing to help if I could see what the different tasks are.

Nice storyline, the idea of loosing someone later on really makes the story gripping!
Also, nice sonic the Hedgehog vibe.

Get back to Mario Sunshine.

@Kaiser also great job with the plot, um, you did see the one I wanted right? Yours is better than mine in every way, I would just like to have a little contribution to the story, thats all.

Sense it seems that a lot of us are online, wanna go to the chat?

Yours is still there. The second time he gets taken away is when they do the testing on him (already inside the factory) and they toss him in the chamber with the gas. I just made what happened before that more in depth.

Ah, I see. Thank you listening to me. And when I say art style, I mean the graphics. Like do we need an outline for our sprites, are their certain colors we use/avoid.

I don't really know what to say. I guess the early levels can be cute. The forest environment didn't get changed much since it was barely put there. As the levels go they could get darker. The only thing I ask is the first levels have a sketchy crayon style like Yoshi's Island. It's just a shout out to my comic. As for colors, don't really see why we can't exclude any colors.

@KaiserGX do you want me to change color scheme or anyting about my sprites?

@Kaiser Since you seem to be the main person in this, how did you like my VGM?

I liked it, it fits for an ice theme. However I agree that the coin sounds should be spread out more. Seems like they play too soon... like right next to each other. It reminds me of the over world theme of ice level in Super Mario Bros 3.! Though I am not that educated in music, but I like what I hear.

• How about he becomes partly mechanized (the first borg squirrel). What he has lost have allowed him to become stronger kinda thing. The prosthetic parts could transform into weapons which drain energy. The transformations could have different gears destructiveness vs. power consumption.
• What if when he tries to escape the domes, he learns that the "100% environment" is alive (hidden video cameras evil mutated plants.) Wait, I just thought of it, we could have a mutant saw-grass enemy!
• Also, there should be a villainous side to the story. He is being closely monitored and the later domes are adapting to his powers.

What do you guys think of these rough ideas? (just thinking out loud).

Also, I found an easy to-use-sound, royalty free sound effect generator Ir works pretty well. You might want to consider using it, if at least for temp sound effects. http://www.drpetter.se/project_sfxr.html

Where are you seeing this art at?

What art, be more specific plz.

He mean's the sprites he did. They are a few pages back. Let me get them.
