"A 16 Year old kid suddenly starts to hear a voice in his head, light shines from his hands and the whole world around him changes as he discovers the hidden identities of people, objects around him and even himself as he battles evil"
This is the description of my new game in the making, and get this: It's going episodic. It's going to have a different genre every episode i.o.w Episode 1 might be a side-scroller while episode 2 might be a top-down puzzle game, or even a mix of the two genres.
The game is going to be very story-driven, (thus going episodic) on the contrary the story has been playing through my mind for the last four years. So technically speaking I'm at season 4 now. :)
Seriously though, I've been planning this game the whole weekend and as soon as I have some sprites, I'll start working on the game itself.
Any comments,Questions, and suggestion welcome.
None of the above has been inspired by Bleach, thank you

What kind of sprites are you looking for?
Bonezmann
12-05-2008, 12:05 PM
Well, in episode 1 I'll need top-down human sprites, top-down car-sprites and top-down building sprites. I'll also need some streets, side-walks, house interiors(all top-down) etc.
The pedestrians can look like whatever you want, and the main character as-well. As long as we can see they're human.
Anything else you want to know?

Yeah why did you post that twice? Im sure you have an idea of how the main guy should look... Describe it.

Sorry, something was wrong with my internet. He's a casual guy, kinda skinny with brown hair. Wearing blue Jeans and a White T-shirt with black school-shoes. Anything else?
I'll PM you the rest of the Sprites details in case you need some, I don't want to spoil it all. Especially the bad-guys. :)

I'm definitely going to, when putting one's second life saga into a game, you have to be sure it's going to work :)

You might want to search for "GTA graphics" on the GM and YoyoGames forums, tons of people have made top-down graphics for loads of original GTA-style games.

UPDATE
I have a BASIC prototype for you guys to check out, it's just basically the movement system. I know the room is BIG, you'll see why when the game is finished.
The story is draining me, since I didn't really -start- it off, it just kinda happened. So I'm struggling with the beginning. This is hard since the beginning matters alot.
The Graphics of the game is coming along quite nicely, I made a Kick-ass(imo) menu(not available in Prototype) and I'm going to my hometown soon to take some pictures for my Hometown replica.

Well, it works. ^_^
What sort of game is the first episode intended to be? That should help to inform opinions of the movement prototype.
One comment that I do have is to perhaps make the handling of corner collisions a little more lenient. At the moment they seem to stop the character entirely; movement might feel less obstructed if you allow the player to slide towards the corner, perhaps by using a circular collision response for the player character.
By the way, if I may ask, are you working on both this and the bio-mechanoids game, or has that been dropped?
Cloud_Ratha, I really hope that your other exams are going well, and that your missed exam isn't too great a setback. :/

When I'm at work, I do Mechanoids and when I'm at home I do Sprit, btw(****, I just had De Ja Vu) there is a new prototype of Mechanoids, I changed some stuff.

Unisa = fail! To write the supplementary exam you have to had had at least a 45 to 49 exam result! Besides i doubt me asking to rewrite cause i didn wake up in time is a valid excuse. :D

You guys wouldn't believe how hard it is to get the right sprites, I'm looking for Building sprites such as Houses, shops of the 12st Century, but all I get are these bloody medievil stuff. >8l

Ratha, tell them it was my fault.
They can call me...
Cloud_Ratha

Ha ha sure thing brazed... Im sure you can even persuade them to give me a pass without writing it! Being a hawt dragon and all... O and btw your dragon can fly now :D

Cloud_Ratha, it's probably at least worth asking - if you don't get one, then you're unlikely to have lost much, I imagine, and if you do, then you get a shot at passing the exam.
Bonezmann, I haven't checked them myself, but perhaps one of the links found in this GameDev.net thread (http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=272386) might help.

Im definately going to give them a shout. The thing that sucks so much is that the rewrite is at the end of the year :\
