I will be making alot of characters, but they take alot of time to sprite, I'm gunna make another 4 today or tomorrow, I'm also gunna do my own filler part which you can unlock by doing certain things.

It's gunna be about the lesser characters of Bleach, like some Vice-Captains or something, I havn't decided yet, anyway if you have any suggestions for the game, please tell me.

If people would liek to help sprite, please tell me!

Timeline: It's just based on the Soul Society Arc, and there will be a filler like mentioned before, which you can give me ideas of.

Story: A Shinigami(Death God, Soul Reaper in Japanese) arrives in a small town in Tokyo called Karakura Town, to defeat evil souls called Hollows, when she finds that she can't find it because something is blocking her sensors.
She later enters the main character's home, and since she is a Spirit noone should be able to see her, but the main Character can his name is Ichigo Kurosaki. Later she finds out he was the one that was blocking her sensors with his Incredible power, she said her name was Rukia Kuchiki an evil spirit attack Ichigo but Rukia stops it getting injured, she then gives Ichigo the power of a Shinigami to finish off the spirit and save his family.
Rukia then gets taken back to her world by her Brother and best friend, Ichigo gets to her world to save her, along the way he brings his friends, Chad, Uryu, Orihime and Ganju and they meet up with other Shinigami who wish to stop him from rescuing her.

sweet first post and hey good luck on making a demo and from the screen shots i say your game is going to be fun

 

[paulalankelly]

Thanks, it's far from finished tho, so I will release a demo when I get to the 3rd or 4th boss.

 

[SoulReaperGod]

do you need any help

 

[paulalankelly]

Mainly Spriting, and some sound effects.

 

[SoulReaperGod]

hmmm well i thought you needed help mapping

 

[dadevvtsvre]

Yeah, those sprites definitely need some work. They lack shading and look very plain, especially the cat. (is it a cat?). The folks in Resource Analysis would be more than glad to help you out. (I'm a horrible spriter :P)

 

[paulalankelly]

hmmm well i thought you needed help mapping

These are just test maps, I'm a pretty decent mapper.

Yeah it's a Cat, and I agree they do need alot more shading, but everytime I got to Resourse analysis/Request I never get any replies, just hundreds of views.

 

[SoulReaperGod]

well good luck

 

[paulalankelly]

Thanks.

Meh...anime fan games are bad. Your mapping is poor, the graphics that you've done are badly sprited(shading mostly), and the story is no good because you're just basing it off of an anime/manga yah dah yah dah. Too good a manga to be ruined by American anime, and RPG Maker...

 

[Xephyr]

EW THOSE MAPS OH GOD

*hides in corner*



Translation: JESUS FIX YOUR MAPPING

 

[GreenGreen]

You know, Those could of been test maps.

 

[Mundane]

Test maps don't belong in a Project thread.

 

[paulalankelly]

As stated above it is a test map, I'm still working on the tilesets, and I'm not very good at shading but I'm trying my best.

If you think they are bad, then why click on them?

 

[mgsgod]

The game looks pretty cool. Isnt that almost the exact bleach story?  :crazy:

 

[mawk]

Because people don't criticize a piece for their own good, they do it for that of the developer. As it stands, things seem not too good. I can't speak for the story right now, since you're still working it out, but from a graphical standpoint I agree that you need to improve your spriting skills; the roof beams in particular are indicative of this.

Look around the forums, check out some spriting tutorials, and look at others' work. Above all else, don't antagonize people for criticizing your work unless they're actually flaming you. Hollow praise from people like mgsgod and SoulReaperGod won't help you improve; it's actual criticism that's really valuable in a project topic. Then again, Tangerine Man's statement was pretty hollow in and of itself, so I'm not exactly sure who I'd tell you to listen to more here. :P

 

[paulalankelly]

Well I agree I need to improve my Spriting, and I'm a decent mapper these where just test maps.

 

[mawk]

Then show us what your ingame maps would look like.

 

[Tachiba]

Then show us what your ingame maps would look like.

I agree with Boogie here.  Why put test maps here?  Dosent that count as premature posting? Show what you can really do.  Anyway, what's already needed to have been said has been said.  Also..

Meh...anime fan games are bad.

Most of them,yes,but not all oof them dude.  Dont automatically think its going to suck cuz its an anime fan game.
