Well, then, if there was a team battle arena, would you be able to change your team even while you're top ranked? Because if one member went inactive for a little while, would you be able to remove them from the team and stay ranked, or would you have to disassemble the entire team?

Well, I'm under the assumption that every member of the team needs to be present in the battle since it's turn based, and when the inactive member's turn comes up, would the battle get stuck? Or would the battle only have as many of the team members as joined into the battle, to avoid inactive members being forced into it?

I'm just trying to foresee and fix some of these problems before they occur, because I've been on sites before with team participation, and you have to quit the battle because one person doesn't log in a few days. It's brutally annoying.

BTowns: don't worry so much about it.... there will be a thread about the battle arena and we will talk about all these issues at length to see if we can find a solution for them.

BTown: You'd only have that team when you team up for a specific battle. Also a user who fails to make their move in a certain amount of time would simply have their turn skipped. There will be adjustable settings for battle so that the battle maker could choose how long each user has to make their move and stuff like that.

Well we could do something like how Pokemon has the Elite 5, we could have something where we take the strongest vizzed members and anyone who wants to challenge them, fights them in order or something. If you beat any of them, you get their place in the 'Elite' (and that person gets bumped down to the place below them and whoever is at bottom gets bumped off).

There would have to be something at steak for the challanger, or else people left and right will be challenging to get into the elite, and the elite would do nothing but fight. Like maybe a Viz price, and if they loose, the loose the Viz. If they win, the former elite must pay them. That way, every newbie wouldn't try to fight the elite, they need to put 500 Viz at steak, or something.

If you do the elite idea that is.

Also, sharing items mid-battle would be awesome.

Wow! I'm totally digging the look of this David, I just seen the sample screenshot and I'm sure once you tweak that and do your thing on it, this will be freaking amazing. It's going to draw so much more attention the site. I'm really excited to see more of this, can't wait.

EDIT: I think you should make clans and such. I know we talked about it before in a different forum but maybe like make some clan type customizable gear. Maybe like you can have t-shirts then put different prints on them to represent your clan. Or even like Flags.

JTRL: Staff shirts would also be awesome. HEY globals could have poop-brown shirts! Seriously though, I think we've already spoken about staff-specific clothes before, and it sounds good (I think Davideo7 liked it too). As for the clans, I've always liked the idea.

Ooh, I can already picture mini me now!

I was wondering, do you have an, at least nearly, exact date the character customizing thing will come out? because, I am sorry I am repeating this, but I love customizing little sprites to look as close to me as I can, ooh...

So, do you have a date yet? or will it still be a surprise?

Shane: It'll probably be released May 1st, but that's not official yet.

JusTReal: The graphic I supplied is actually something I put together for a game show I made years ago, half of the graphics are either made or edited by me in that picture so I've got lots of experience with making that style of graphics. Of course with the character editor as well as the item shop, all the graphics will be completely made by me.

Question: when you say that there will be swome sort of RPG game, what exactly does that mean? What will it be like? Is there anything to compare it with?

Think of Pokemon + The Sims + Grand Theft Auto (without the violence).

Vizzed Ville would be like a breathing, living town where everyone gets their own home and there's tons of stuff to do in the town.

That's really cool! I've never played GTA or The Sims, but it sounds a lot like the Animal Crossing game my sister likes, except for the lack of animals.

Well from what I heard there trying to make it as original as possible so theres no telling how close it's gonna be to a certain game. An offline rpg of this would be pretty good though wip up a small story and slowly add on with monsters and quests just to get lvl's though or Viz because if there is levels separate for battling chances are people aren't gonna want to go around pvping each other for lvl's especially with so many people just there to talk. It would get annoying to keep getting rejected for duels. But I suppose this would work with mmo also ive just always like regular rpg's better. Besides I was just thinking about one of my favorite rpg's when I wrote this.

I was thinking for the charecter sprites you could add some well known things like you can have Sephiroth's hair or Ichigo's clothes.

Well there would be 'animals', the land of vizzed would have it's own animals native to it, that's where the 'side kicks' come in.

It'll be a while before I even begin working on this game, probably expect a release date of January 1st, 2012.

I like the RPG Maker idea, its very simple to use the details come out just enough to enjoy and give that retro gaming style that vizzed is supposed to be all about. If you need any help with the RPG Maker, I have experience working with them, shoot we could even make our own little vizzed game and make it a public project. It would be fun but probably more of a hassle, its up to you, I'll try to find time to help if other people are willing to help as well.

I'm undecided if I'll be seeking any help for when I make the RPG 'Vizzed Ville', but if you're still around I'll let you know.

Alright, I'm not an active person but I check the page at least once every other day just because I have a wierd addiction to this site even if I don't always use it lol.

So...we get needs (food, sleep, toilet, etc...) + RPG system +stealing cars, awesome !

I love the Sims, I like sims 3's open town system thingy, really awesome as after work I can go right to the dinner, unlike in the Sims 1 and 2 where we have to reach home, then drive (sims 2) or call a taxi (sims 1 and 2), long loading times. I just hope you will add needs or something if that MMO will EVER come out.

Also, with all these stuff coming out, I just hope you won't forget the forums.

P.S : I still wonder if there are ways to dye your hair or outfits coustom colours, like the sims 3 ( I want to dye my hair to be part blue, part red or something or something).

P.P.S : I will like it if we can be something other then "humans", like elfs or something.

P.P.P.S : Geeogree, you do know that a player will defeat a boss, unless you make it so unfair that as soon as we see you, we die, then you won't be a boss, you will be a cheater, and cheaters can kill you with hacks too, so the PLAYER is the ture powerful person in a game, not the boss.

Didowe: You can choose what your character looks like but after that 1 time, you can't change the way your character looks again without paying Viz. Also you can only choose from natural hair colors but I'll probably had hair dye's or something for those interested for a small amount of Viz. As for not being human, you're missing the whole point here, I've said many times already that this is suppose to look like you and represent you. As for cheating, I plan to make this thing as secure as possible, it'd be pretty hard to cheat a PHP based battle arena, especially since I don't plan to release the code to anyone which means no one will ever know how it works and what variables are used which will make it even harder to hack.

Just hearing that makes it sound even more amazing then it has up to this point. I'm so excited so see this when it's done. I know it's going to be so freaking awesome!
