Re: Pixainia Collab (reboot)

Questions:
-how do you send each-other code/graphics/whatever?
-what needs to be done/what should I do?

Anywho, is I was thinking of maybe going through the graphics and maybe adding some shading to some of them or give them more detail/texture, not remaking them from scratch. Of course, not going to do that if it's already decided that the graphics should follow strictly the style.
Also, at the moment, all blocks only have one image, and I was thinking of alternating them between different images(EG, 2-3 different sand tiles, maybe one with a rock or something as decoration), or making edge tiles, or even making decorations like bushes, tall grass, etc. This would add more depth to it and make it look more lively and varied.

Okay, what do you need me to do?

Well, on the newest version, when you open the map, the player can run around. I'd like it if you could program so that you can't move while the map is out, that would be great!

Got it

EDIT: Copper, the way you've set up the scripts this is going to be difficult. I made the map small in the upper right corner, which might work.

Oh, BTW, what is the main font for the game?

ANOTHER EDIT: Perhaps we could also have a "bestiary" for the game. You can look at pictures and descriptions of monsters and items. This could be cool.

YET ANOTHER EDIT: Could I use some of Nomo's fantasy sprites for placeholders?

Font: I usually use arial black for signs and large print, and arial for small print.
I'm confused, what do you mean by making the map small?

I like that idea! Maybe a "monster journal"?

Placeholders??

That's good! It should matter too much, as you can buy potions in the desert town once you fix the bridge. (Well, I haven't added that yet.)

Answers:
Do you mean how we send the next version to eachother? We upload it.
Currently Necromaster is doing some work on the game, but I'm sure you'll be able to help soon.

Something you could definitely help with is re-modeling the sand block. Currently it doesn't look much like sand, do you think you could improve that?
I really like the 2-3 different blocks, that sounds good.  smile

Re: Pixainia Collab (reboot)

Hi everyone!
Below is a plan of what happens in the storyline, please tell me your opinions of the plot!

Part 1:
You get knight armour, then free Kazon. He teaches you a spell to fix the broken bridge.

Part 2:
After fixing the bridge, you travel to a cave. In front is Kazon! He warns you of monsters ahead, saying you should restock in Adawa Town. He gives you a key to open the gate in front of the town.

Part 3:
Kazon doesn't leave until you open the gate. Inside are a few houses, one with a man who sells potions.

THE PIXAINIA CREW: ( I really like this part..  big_smile  )
If you open one of the doors on a house, inside are all the people from this collab, as Pixainia characters! You can talk to them, but they don't say anything essential to the game.


That's as far as I've got, what do you all think?

That's as far as I've got, what do you all think?

1: Great! We got that one mostly covered. But I think the knight's suit should be harder to get...  tongue

2: Ooh! That sounds great! Maybe after you stock up on potions and stuff and you come back Kazon teaches you another spell before you enter the caves?\

3: Ok, sounds good.

4: LOVE IT! That'd be an awesome easter egg. My avatar is always a ninja, don't ask me why, or maybe we can make our pixel avatars look like ourselves?

Ok! Love the ideas! I'll add mine:

5: Return to the cave, and Kazon will teach you a new spell. It's a earth spell that lets you bring a small rock from the ground as a shield to block attacks from bats and spells.

6: Enter the cave and make your way through deeeeeep underground, fighting off dark bats and cave trolls (Cave trolls basically look like trolls except look more rocky and stuff)

7: Defeat a boss, a rock golem, and Kazon will teach you a spell that can blow up the rocks blocking the entrance to the mountains. Then you can restock potions and head up into the snowy mountains!

Also, maybe the more places you go, there could be very small minigames that give you money and stuff?  smile

Also, I'm making the sprites (Dark bats, cave trolls,) right now, so I'll post those in a bit.


Goodbye 1.4. I'll always remember you and treasure your awesomeness in my heart.

Sounds great! Can we add a few dungeons with some bosses?

I think we need to rework the inventory to be more modular.

I'll work on maps for dungeons?  big_smile  Basic maps, like outlines of rooms and stuff.

Y'know, some zombie necromancer guy/vampire/mummy lord has taken up residence in an abandoned monastery and has raised the inhabitants of the cemetery as his minions.  tongue

How about a sewer/cellars dungeon? Perhaps a gang of wererats are terrorizing the townsfolk or something.

As for the sewers, it might be a good place to practice on medium-strength enemies.
EDIT:
Idea: Maybe enemies have a small chance of dropping money?
You guys posted so much.......
