Big Sister - Virtuality Show

[Calibre]

Big Brother .ORG makes no sense. It is hosted by other communities since Flair24, Mactopia Seeds and Rhino Cap, so it wouldn't be fair for them. By the way, I've already sent you the tilesets. Now get working. joking.

Fine then!

"Big Brother: RMXP" makes the most sense in that case then, seeing as everyone knows what Big Brother is and everyone knows where rmxp characters come from.

It wouldn't seem so odd in the tite screen cos it would be like BIG BROTHER in bold with a smaller Rmxp underneath or to the side.

This has the potential to be awesome, but the first one... was not. I do agree with Calibre in the fact that you should include an intro for the characters in the first episode, since not everyone will know all the characters. Another thing you might think about adding, is challenges. They are personally my favorite part of reality TV (and about the only reason I'd watch it, alot of the time ^^; ) In general, it needs alot more movement to it.

And...as mentioned, it is important to nail down each's characters personality, which is something I don't think you did. For example, Phylip in the first one, is nothing like the true Phylip. He may share the same sprite and name, but that's about it. (To help with this, I'll pm you more detailed character bios in a little bit)

Now this reply may have sounded a bit negative, but, I do in fact want to see this project do well. It's an interesting idea, and if executed well, could be very amusing. Let me know if I can help with anything (within reason, I don't have a huge amount of spare time). Good luck!

So great to see such a positive response from the community.

Uh, in case Afro hasn't said it yet, I do think he's decided to follow Despain's advice and redoing the first episode from scratch to rectify the mistakes in writing.

To be honest... this game's title sounds like some porno...

The name is irrelevant. But I'll contact the rest of the gang and talk about it.

As I said, forget the name.

Thank you for being so supportive. I've already added the new bios to the main post.

That's right, you heard it guys, I'm redoing it with your help and the help of the team. There's no need to vote right now.

Here's something we will create for the new episode. Confessionals, this one works just as an example (Made by Despain):

Not to be rude, but I SPECIFICALLY asked you to keep those profiles to yourself. They're for your (and Despain's) eyes ONLY so that when you guys are writing, you have a better understanding of the characters. Please remove them from the first post immediatly and replace them with the old ones.

Oh my bad. I am sorry. I'll make sure only despain reads them. THank you once again Racheal. Thank you and Mario kuta.

 

[Petros]

I vote Bones leaves. Despite preffering MotW to Nadir's Canon, I think Nola has more to offer the BS House lol.

 

[Afro Samurai]

Thank you for voting, but I don't know if the nominated characters will be the same.

By the day, I want to thank volrath for having moved this out from the basics, there was no need to.

 

[ArtBane]

You have a decent outline of your project, screenshots, and even a short demo. That should be enough to qualify your project for project discussion level.

 

[Chromaticed]

Now this is awsome

I vote on Nola

 

[Afro Samurai]

Despain has come up with a nice idea, I think. All that amount of different templates together didn't go well, so we would need a unique style for the game. Despain choosed Pokemon styled. Here's some stuff:

i love this show! keep going with the good work!

i'll be waiting for more episodes

 

[Calibre]

Just popping in to tell you that I am having internet trouble at my home as of now.

The RTP big brother tileset that we discussed is well underway so you can compare between that and the pokemon set. It is looking very much like what I know of the Big Brother Hosue from the UK, but I don't know how much the style varies, for example in the US version.

I am happy to work on it in the RTP style which I am making - and produce a complete house, but if you'd rather opt to use pokemon graphics after all I think I'll leave the mapping to you in that circumstance, and refocus on my game! I don't think the pokemon graphics allow me to make a good enough representation of the house!

I'm sure we could get somebody to convert a few HK's into rtp fore the sake of a community project?

Like I say though, I'll have the tileset compiled pretty soon then I ca work on the mapping. One question, would you like me to map the house big all on one map, or would you like the maps seperate. At the moment, I'm doing them all seperately but making the impression that they carry on? What do you prefer?

(Bare in Mind I don't know when I'll actually be able to check your response!)

 

[Afro Samurai]

Thank you desdrubal for your feedback.

Well I'll try to remake the characters either on RTP or Pokemon styled.
That's a nice question. There's nothing wrong on mapping them separatedly, but if you can make one huge map gathering them all would be pretty nice. Even though don't delete the seperated ones, we might need them.

 

[Danny]

Hey Afro, can you clarify that your going to be using the Pokemon style for your game, cause if you are I'll knock uo a quick Reonim on the template if needed.

 

[JakeyZombie]

I strayed from this, but this looks far too awesome to pass up. Downloading now, haha.

 

[Afro Samurai]

I will open a poll, I am back again, but don't know if this will go much further.
