Well, I have created, modified and added character graphics to the game finally. Here's 17 out of the 19 character sprites I have finished so far and have added into the game. THe other 2 I'm gonna keep a surprise for when I'm done with the game.


Anyways, here they are
(edit: this is exactly how they will appear in the game)

Note, that the sprites with a Red circle next to them are graphics I made entirely myself, ones that have a Yellow box are graphics that I modified from the previous graphic that is default to RPG Maker 95.
I plan to rip graphics from a few games (since it'd take waaay to long to create every single graphic in the game).


Elara and Belial's sprites are sorta similar, that's because they chose the same sprite from when I had a selection chart available, so I just modified Elara's sprite to have her hair black, and her cape dark green (her favorite color). Belial, if you want your characters cape color to be different, just let me know and I can change that.

A few of the character I *might* do additional modifications to, such as Geeogree, John's and possibly myself.


Also, take note, Cid's character I made to resemble Cid Highwind. I'm gonna have him in the game thinking that he's the real Cid Highwind, but others will just say that he's obsessed with Cid Highwind and that he just likes to dress like him, but the secret will never be revealed whether he is the real Cid Highwind, lol.



And now, for the overal progress of the game:
Town Map design and graphics: 99%
Indoor Map Graphics: 95%
Indoor Map Design: 15%
Items: 95%
Battles: 10%
Characters Custimization: 50%
Hero and NPC Graphics: 25%
Music and Sounds: 0%
Events: 8%
Overall: 25%

The game is about a quarter of the way done

Any comments about teh graphics are welcomed (comments help motivate me to finish this game )

EDIT: by the time I'm done, there'll be 100+ sprites in the game, either made by me, modified by me or ripped by me.

FRIKIN SWEET!
What would you mod to mine/what have you?

I think the helment on mine should be blue (and change the little thing on the helment to white) or the entire outfit except the little point thing on my helment should be white to go along with the my custom title of Paladin. And the little thing on the helment could stay blue then.

But yeah cool stuff.

The thing with the helmet is, it kinda represents your position, that's also why Geeogree is wearing it (even if it might look dumb on his character).
I might give John's character a different body, maybe. Also, if Geeogree doesn't like the helmet on his character, maybe I can do something else that shows that he has an upper position.

Oh, and maybe I can put that 'V' on John's irish hat, lol, probably wouldn't look good on it though.

They look cool as. Im not that good at sprites, to pixely. Thats why flash is good (vector images). I got a friend who makes midis. I could send ya one if you want, or get him to make some.

Those are cool, it does ressemble Cid. (I don't understand RPG Maker enough to know) but can't you convert sprites from Rastor to Vector, or will that no longer make them sprites..?

Nope, it's good, thanks. ^^

Yay! Well, not too big a deal since mine is just from a selected list...but I'm happy to hear your making progress. One quarter of the way done, and 99% of the Town Map designs/graphics. What's with the other one percent?

The other 1 % is for incase I decide to add additional things to the town, lol.


EDIT: I have created 4 more characters, and modified MichaelVash's and Belial's characters. The ones I've created are Xeo's character, Jake-A-Roonie's, Darkknight's, and I've made a megaman character (50% done), but i'm not sure if I'll have anyone use that sprite. Also getting ready to start Randy's character.

After this, I dont think i'm gonna create many more characters, just gonna find sprites on the net, or somethin, to much work to make custom sprites lol.

Do you have anonomous sprites? Y'know, for those townsfolk that are just around, not any of the board members, and that don't play any part past the words they say?

Gotta have those, or else the town will be too small! Or are you using the super inactive members for those people?

Look at it this way, just about EVERY member who has atleast 10 posts will be in the game...the town will be quite populated with that

Of course, not everyone will play a role, roughly, everyone with atleast 50 posts will play a small role of some sort, and pretty much all the active and well known members will play bigger roles.

So basically, there will be no anynomous sprites, except the main character, he will be the only character who is not on the board (still not sure what his name will be, "newbie" is a possibility, but who knows).

ALSO, here are my predictions of the game...


I'm guessing that the game will be completely finished Fall of 2005 (which is also 10 years after the release of rpg maker 95).

AND, the predicted file size is 20-25 MB compressed (100-150 MB uncompressed).

So yeah, you can expect it to be a deep game, not necessarily long, but just really in depth, detailed, with lots to do.
And for those who have slow internet, I'll probably have an offer where you can purchase the game (using viz) and I'd burn it to a CD and send it to you over mail. It'd cost about 3000-5000 Viz...I'd pay for shipping charges and CD fee of course.

WOOT. Sounds good

And for people who live oversea's, the shipping will probably cost more for me, lol
I'll see if I can just send the game out in an envelope rather than a package, save me lots of money. Also, I'll probably make a cover for the (thin) cd case, so those of you who do buy it with Viz, will get to have a case that has a cover (and possibly a cd that comes with extras).

Usually this is how I look at things...
1000 = $1 (US dollar).
So if it costs me $3 to send out each game (including fee of cd, case, and shipping), than it'd be 3000 Viz. It'll probably end up being 4000-5000 Viz for people who dont live within North America though

More information than anyone needs to know, lol.

I might just do that if you make a cover. And you send it so it doesn't take years to get here. That is if I am featured on the cover. lol

Aww, you're limited to 19 sprites? Well, you can make me like Wilted then. ;p We have about the same amount of posts anyways!

Oops, I guess I didn't make it very clear
Those are the sprites I have finished so far, I'm allowed 64+ sprites in the game

That would be bad if you were limited to 19 sprites. This game should be interesting. Trying to think of a few more ideas for you... But I will post them later.

WELL GET HER DONE!!!! I'm glad to hear your working on it. You don't have my sprite so if I could make a request, I would like it to be unorthadox. Mabey a flying Domingo or somthing. OR mabey I could be a shapeshifter or somthing. Whatever just keep plugging away at it.




A cool thing would be to make a morrowind plugin with all the character from the board. That'd be pretty pimp and not that hard. Its just not that many people have morrwind else I might. I'm glad to hear your still working and not putting it off.

What you said, Zylo, does sound pretty hard actually lol

And yeah, I've already found a sprite for your character (though i didn't make it myself).

I'm almost 30% complete with the game...if that says anything. I'm pretty close to having a sprite for every person who will be in the game...and as soon as I DO have a sprite for every person, I'll be able to start the story and events of the game, which will make progress go a bit faster.

I took 2 week break from the game when I was studying flash lol.
