Community Project: Deity Project

Compilation is nbd because it takes next to no effort, especially with hex codes supplied, as I generally do. So whatever you wanna do is okay by me.

 

Hmm...I guess I could do it, then. Maybe when I can't think of progress for misery story.
So how's everyone else doing on spriting and maps and music and stuff?

 

Is there any music that should get done? I don't know if Lunarsoul is still working on that guns-a-blazing song.

 

Not at the moment. I might go back to it sometime, but feel free to improve it if you want.

 

I'm not sure what to work on right now. Are we good on zombies for now, or should I dust off my tome of necromancy?

 

Man, things have really grinded to a crawl. Where did everyone go?

Well one of us went to Mexico, and found out his phone's 3G didn't work there. The hotel has an internet cafe, but I only get 30 free minutes. right now I only have 23 left. So far you guys havn'y done too much, but as for progess and moving on, here's what I remember needs to be done.

A creepy\guns-a-blazin song for the first map,
a tile set for the next one,
semi intellegent AI for the zombies,
finishing up Seth's backgrpund story,
finishing up the overall background story "I can do that while I'm here",
Weapon and Bullet sprites,
the title screen drawings,
Some method of map selection "like a room with different doors, or a selection like the teleporter slots have, or something",
and maybe some sort of website or something like what the remix project had so we can organize this stuff.

Greetings from Moon Palace Resort in Cancoon Mexico by the way. Not working is driving me CRAZY.

I wouldn't leave any personal messages because I won't see them until Sunday.

 

You go on way too many vacations, matt.

 

DON'T LISTEN TO HIM MATT, GOING TO OTHER COUNTRIES ISN'T SOMETHING ONE GETS TO DO OFTEN UNLESS YOUR JOB CALLS FOR IT OR YOU'RE FILTHY RICH. Seriously though, enjoy your vacation. Or rather, by the time you read this, I hope you enjoyed your vacation.


-Tileset: Safu, even if you don't have much, could you post what you DO have? I might be able to continue it if you aren't up for it.
-Weapons: I'm a teeny bit hesitant to work on the bullets/particles, but I can still take a shot at them. The weapons themselves I can work on.
-Title screen: Jet was working on that, but he said he was having a lot of life troubles and wasn't going to here much. Hope he's okay...
-Method of map selection: I posit we have some sort of journal-themed map selection screen.
-Website: I know (knew?) some basic web design (some html and CSS), but it's been a few years since I've used it. If we did make a site, where would we host it? That usually costs money.

 

I can make websites in HTML, if you're not keen on detailed sites. Other than that, webs has a great site builder. I think if you want premium service (domain name, premium site templates, email addresses) it costs $8/month.

 

You go on way too many vacations, matt.

Heh, with any luck this'll be the last one. Turns out I get 30 minutes PER DAY.
Anyways, I didn't know a fee was needed to host a website even if you make it, "If that's what your saying". As for Cripple's idea for a journal based selection screen, it seems just a bit common, But then again I can't think of much at the moment.

 

Well i could search some websites that allow you to host websites for free.

Edit: Or we could make a blog but a website is much better overall.

 

Why do we need a site?

 

think of it this way lace.

With a website we could attract more people. It could be a place where we can have more stuff about this mod like faq,downloads you get what i mean.

 

yes, but why would we need that stuff?

 

Honestly, if we're gonna make a website (which I'm pretty ambivalent about, really), we should just go with http://wordpress.com like Nox and GIR. Quick, easy, simple, free.

 

yes, but why would we need that stuff?

Why do video game publishers make website's for each of they're games.

 

and maybe some sort of website or something like what the remix project had so we can organize this stuff.

That would be why I suggested it Marx. If it is all catalogged somewhere then it is way easier to find and use. By the way, does anyone have any progress updates?

I forgot to add something to my list.

Ollie must look up the game this projects based on >_>.

I'm quite forgetful. :J

 

Well as you should know ive already made a small update to the backstory.

 

Why do video game publishers make a website for each of their games?

So they can make money. Video game publishers are constrained by something we are not, which is blatant capitalism. They need publicity etc so they can keep making games. As freelance modders, we do not need money to keep creating things, and even if we do want money, that'd be sorta rude to ol' Pixel.

I also don't really like publicity for the sake of publicity. If our mod is good enough, people in other places will hear about it by word of mouth. I played cavestory not because I was trawling the webs, but because one of my good friends told me to. If people need to be referred somewhere to download or comment, it can merely be this thread.
