VirtualClown wiimaster Collab
OK, so, how do you want to do this? Do you want to just work on art or game ideas/design?

Re: VirtualClown wiimaster Collab
I'm not sure. I got the idea from an article on online piracy that had a picture of a bunch of a game of whack-a-mole where the moles are pirate moles. I think maybe you should have a crew of moles and pirates you swap out. Pirates can swim, moles can dig. What do you think?

Well, I think we should do either just pirates or just moles.
Moles is more creative and original but pirates are easier to work with.

Re: VirtualClown wiimaster Collab
Hmm, I am going for creative and original. Let's do moles. Their claws would make good swords.

Re: VirtualClown wiimaster Collab
I don't know. I don't think you see what I'm saying. Moles go around in boats on the sea, birds-eye view, then they go off the boat onto the land, two-way scroller, side view, and on the land they dig around with their claws. We can still do pirates if you wish, I'm actually starting to lean towards pirate, my one worry is that they'd look stupid. Maybe make a beta sprite of a pirate just standing, and a mole (With a headband and pronounced claws) standing. I have no idea what the pirate would look like is all.

Well, I like the pirate idea the best, so if you are leaning towards it that is great.
I will try and make them not look stupid. I'm pretty good at that 
The mole idea keeps getting weirder and weirder in my head- again, its your choice.

Re: VirtualClown wiimaster Collab
Let's do pirates. To start with, make the ship, since the game starts out on a ship. Birds-eye view, just as requested on your project. I'll start the coding. I already have the menu in working order. I've decided to attempt to make the water in blender, with the help of my brother. Also, if you want, you can download BYOB at http://byob.berkeley.edu/#download and play the game. It's just a scratch mod, I think you might like it. If you download it, tell me so I can put the file on mediafire every major update.

Re: VirtualClown wiimaster Collab
Going on vacation Aug. 21-27. On vacation, will work off of the sprites you have made by then and shapeless black blobs, if I work at all. Priority should be placed on making the ship and pirates sprites.

Re: VirtualClown wiimaster Collab
Back from vacation, that looks GREAT! I was thinking of making the sea in blender and texturing it, then exporting a top-down animation of it, but then again, you'd probably do a better job : )
EDIT: I've got the UI all done. You don't need to work on that, but if you want making some 480x120 buttons, one green, one red, one blue, I could use those over what I have now. It's a pretty smooth menu so I dunno if it needs redoing. Oh, and on an unrelated side-note, I have sound effects under control.
