Working on my art.

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:00:41 +0000

So... i've decided that i'm just not good enough anymore, so in the spirit of self improvement i decided this morning to set 20-40 minutes aside and try to improve my pixel art. i started from scratch on a blank ms paint canvas and after roughly 34 mins this is what i had, for those of you that know me, please tell me, DO these actually look better?

Thanks in adv.

Screenshots of something i've been messing around with.

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 05:55:00 +0000

Ok so the past few days i've had some spare time and i decided i wanted to try something new,so here are a few screen shots of a new idea in the making. Not ready to create a Hub or call it my new game, just something i've been messing around with. Lets see where it will go.

[EDIT]

Here is a new screen shot of the modified turfs and the first enemy mobs.

Programmer and Pixel Artist Wanted! [POTENTIALLY PAID]

Sun, 21 Aug 2011 22:28:45 +0000

Ok so I'm looking to add a few staff to my team as i want to speed up development of my game Shin Itsuki Saga: Daemon Hunters!, for those of you who aren't aware of what this game is feel free to go take a look at it, here is the link BAM!

http://www.byond.com/games/Kingmangaman/ShinItsukiSaga

For those interested in learning more about the game and the systems and etc here are a few links to some useful posts that should explain what the game will be like BAM BAM!

Ok then, i suppose i'll have to put down some prerequisites so that i don't end up hiring nubs.

First of the Programmer

The systems in the game will be pretty advanced and i'm not looking to hire anyone part time i need a main programmer, i had Troj who i always usually work with but he's MIA and i can't seem to get in touch with him at all. You'll need at least a good few years background in DM script and hopefully a few live or playable projects to back up those years, hopefully you've took the time to read the links i supplied above, those basically outline the systems in the game so that you know what you're getting yourselves in for. I need someone who's reliable for this position.

So over all i need someone
.Trustworthy
.In-depth knowledge of programing in DM
.Able to work efficiently
.Needs to be able to show me a few old projects of theirs so i know they're good enough.

Payment, well here's the tricky part, i'm not willing to pay up front as my money situation isn't all that great BUT the game will have a subscription feature which will be $10 for 4 months and $25 for a year and the main programmer will be entitled to 40% of all takings after server money is took out

OK then, now for the pixel artist, i need someone who is good with effects, special attacks and such things, i'll be handling all the turfs and mob's i need someone to create the attacks bearing in mind there will be a lot of different animations being needed, what with there being ice, fire, air, earth attacks and etc...

Applicants must show a portfolio of their art ALL ORIGINAL, i won't be taking on anyone with a reputation of stealing and the pixel artist will never receive the games source, You will need to be able to work fast.

Payment for this position, like i said above my money situation is dire so to payments will be maid up front, but i am willing to give you 15% of the profits made from the subscriptions which hopefully will be more than enough to compensate you for your work.

Shin Itsuki Saga: Daemon Hunters! Update log

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 12:26:17 +0000

Ok then guys, heres the latest update on Shin Itsuki Saga: Daemon Hunters.

The log in system is just about done thanks to a little(a huge) amount of help from MDC, it will have a fade in introduction screen system which you can skip at anytime by pressing enter to take you straight to the main login screen, which by popular demand i have changed, i like the outcome of it, HERE is a screenshot for ya'll to enjoy.

The base, has most of it's states done, weapon choices will include 2 handed swords, 1 handed swords, two one handed swords and 2 handed hammers. each different choice giving you some set skills for you to gain by leveling them.

Hair, eyes and skin will be customizable on your character, you will be able to choose which god you believe in, certain god's give you certain boosts on certain days(not vague at all huh)

There will be an item progression system from common, uncommon, rare and epic the stats gain from them corresponding to how hard they are to get.

The map is eventually taking shape the first town area i a little large to say the least and will hopefully contain no fewer than 30 quests in it to keep you guys busy with some of these quests taking place in "dungeon/raid" type scenarios.
it will be a multi-level type map with you having the city above ground, then being able to venture into the sewers below grounds where many of the dungeons will be, and then some of the buildings will be used as dungeons.

Killing daemons and other critters will be the only other way to level along with character progression and quests.

I'll add to this later if i can think of anything more to tell you guys.

Peace out mofo's.

Interface Screenshot!

Ok guys here's a picture of the game's interface and login screen, hope you guys like it.

Donations accepted

Mon, 18 Jul 2011 21:38:43 +0000

As you guys will see, i've added a donate button to my page and to the hub of my new game Shin Itsuki Saga: Daemon Hunters!

Lately I haven't been getting the hours I need at work and the money I'm getting paid at the minute is barely paying for all my debts from uni and loans and such things, that being said I'd be eternally grateful if you guys could find it in you to donate to a total stranger. The money donated to me will go into getting help with my projects and getting good quality servers for them, without having to take it out of the money I have for food and bills and such. Thanks in advance

On a side note here is some stuff i've created for my new game something to pacify you guys and to let you know progress is being made.

In-Game Adverts

Sat, 16 Jul 2011 23:55:54 +0000

OK sooooo, i've decided i need some adverts in my game, just to add as scenery kinda like billboards, that being said i'm giving you guys a template and letting you guys make some billboards for me, you can make one advertising your own game and as long as i approve of the game you're advertising i'll put it in my new game no strings attached, if not and you still feel like being creative just come up with your own billboard designs and such.

Here is the template don't deviate from the shape too much if you can help it, use what ever colours you want. You can even have them animated if you want.

And a link to the game they're going to be in.

http://www.byond.com/games/Kingmangaman/ShinItsukiSaga

Look forward to seeing what you guys come up with.

EDIT!

Here are some examples of good ones so far-

NEW GAME!!!

Mon, 11 Jul 2011 07:13:37 +0000

Ok guys so, I've started making a new game and I want some feed back on my game mechanics so far. so without unnecessary banter here it is.

Basic Game Mechanics

â¢ Game will be set at a screen size of 29 by 19 and wont be changeable. The game should automatically load up on the clients computer at the right screen size and they shouldnt be able to change it.
â¢ Game will have an intro screen using 3 different loading screens each fading into the other with a skip intro button at the bottom so you can skip straight to the login screen.
â¢ There will be no tabs and such things every thing will be displayed on screen via on screen HUDs and pop up inventory and skill screens.
â¢ There will be a hotslot bar using the normal 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 0 keys, macros will be set to A for basic attack, Z for interacting with NPCs, C for Character menu popup, I for inventory menu pop up, N for Skills menu popup, D for pick up, Pressing SPACE will activate your chat bar.
â¢ There will be a HUD showing your health, mana and experience also quick buttons for entering your characters skill tree, pop up inventory menu, character menu and skills menu.

Character Game Mechanics

â¢ Character customization will be offered when you first make your character via choosing what skin colour you want, what hair style and colour you want and what eyes you want. You will also have to choose a first and last name from your character and decide with squadron youre in (Red, Green or Blue) This decides what colour your first set of clothes are and gives you access to squadron chat.
â¢ Players will go through a quick tutorial when they first log in to get used to the mechanics of the game, they also have the choice of skipping the tutorial completely and start the game straight away, although the tutorial will supply you with some money and your first few levels to gain skill points and start spending into your skill tree.
â¢ Players will level up by completing quests given from NPSs with green stars above their heads as long as they have the required level needed to take on the quest, By killing progressively through stronger enemies and by taking part in world events that can be triggered by online admins at any time.
â¢ As players level they get Skill Points and Stat Points to spend into their character pop up screen and Skill Tree. To balance the fighting out during PVP there will be a restriction on how high you can raise a stat depending on your level so say youre level 5 that means your strength wouldnt be allowed any higher than 10 and etc...
â¢ Characters will have 4 elements to progress through each with their own skill tree, they wont be restricted to just one element but if they dont go all in one element then they wont be able to access that elements high end skills, the elements are Fire, Earth, Air, Water. Subscribers will have access to 2 extra elements Darkness and Light.
â¢ Players will be able to use money to reset their skill points and stat points if they want to try out different specs on their characters
â¢ The character pop up menu will have 4 empty slots available for the character to put on equipment, one for a weapon, one for a suit and 2 for accessories. Players will be able to drag these items from their inventory pop up menu to the slots. Players can buy new items to use from Vendor NPCs and by defeating monsters and gaining them as loot.
â¢ Players can regain health by resting inside a building, this is a slow way to regain health and mana, or they can consume food bought from vendor NPCs or the can go to the hospital which is the fastest way to heal.
â¢ Players will be able to create parties with each other and take on enemies together, people in parties gain bonus experience as long as they are all within 5 levels of whoever made the killing blow to the enemy, no bonus exp will be given when handing quests in though.
â¢ World events such as monster out breaks and tournaments will be accessible to the games admins to create, for instance they will be able to go to a part of the city and create a portal that will let out a number of weak, medium, strong or boss like daemons and a world event will take place where they all need to be killed, these monsters would give you extra event experience to normal enemies. Tournaments will be held by the admins and they will be allowed to give experience, money or special items to the winners.
â¢ Players will be able to alter their characters looks by doing to a Vendor NPC and using money to change their appearance.

Fighting Game Mechanics

â¢ Players will only be able to PvP in certain designated areas of the game so as to make sure there is no constant spam killing, players will be able to challenge each other if they see people out in the open that they want to fight but they wont be able to damage each other if they dont accept the challenges. Accepting the challenge will enable your PvP marker meaning other players can attack you as long as they have their marker enabled.
â¢ Players will be able to drag their skills from their pop up skills menu to their 10 slot bar ready for quick use in battle.
â¢ All skills will have a separate cool down and certain skills wont be usable if you already have certain other skills active.
â¢ Players wont be weak to elements unless they have debuffs on them from enemies or other players, however many enemies will be susceptible to certain elements whilst being strong against others.
â¢ Double clicking directly on a fellow player or enemy will bring up a bio of their stats as long as they are within 10 levels of you otherwise it will just say they are significantly stronger than you.
â¢ The fighting will all be done in real time, certain enemies will be able to use skills against you and may be faster than others with less delays to their attacking speed, some will aggressively attack you on sight where as others wont attempt battle with you until you make the first move.
â¢ All characters will be able to access their own skill trees where they can spend points on gaining to skills some will be passive skills that effect your characters stats and such and others will be new attacks that you can level up to master.
â¢ Players who die to NPCs will loose a certain amount of their money and some experience and will respawn in the city hospital fully healed, regardless of where they where. Players defeated in PvP will respawn where they where killed instantly with their PvP marker disabled and with half health and mana.
â¢ Wining a PvP battle will not switch your marker off, you have to wait 60 seconds for it to automatically switch its self off.

In Game Examples

â¢ Here is an example of what the pop up character menu could look like, the 4 slots for your equipment and your 6 main stats strength (increases damage), defence (increases resistance), Agility (increases speed and lowers certain cooldowns), dexterity (increases critical hit chance), vitality (increases health), magic (increases power of certain attacks and mana).

Alright that's all I've gotten through at the minute sooo, tell me what you guys think.
