I'm still waiting for Muse to tell me what to do.  I'm bored right now!

She can't tell you what to map without the tilesets, which I am busy working on. Be patient :P

Cba to read anything atm, sorry. :p
But the screens.. I think the title screen is nice, just change that horrible window skin, it doesn't fit at all. And perhaps the font aswell. :3

Just suggestions.

Anyway this looks nice. Good luck!

I sort of agree with you there, at least in the title screen. Does the windowskin look alright otherwise? Either way, I'll probably find a shiny title screen script, thus removing the need for the clashing titlescreen + windowskin combo. And...well...thanks for the compliment about the title screen looking nice, but it may change soon since this was was so half-baked. XD (Seriously, just look up 'clock' in google images. </fail> XDDD)

As for font...hmmm...I'll poke around for a better one. I don't want to venture too far outside the realms of readability. ^^'

And yes, Aki, sorry that, but I can get you a list of the maps we need next time I see you on Messenger. Like Boon said, we're still missing a whole slew of tilesets, but if you see any maps in the list that you can work on with the available Breeze tilesets, then have at it! ^_^
 
Love the name, it's simple yet it really caught my eye. Although as soon as I seen it I definately thought there would be some sort of character with amnesia :P The start reminds me a lot of the project I was working on. People could call the start cliche but that really doesn't matter at all, it is how you develop the story and characters that will count. Of course you couldn't tell us much more because it would spoil the plot.

I think the drawings for the characters are really good but it would be nice to see them coloured.

Just looking at your map you have created I think you should try experimenting with some ground textures, in particular the dark grass autotile.

Oh and by the way I actually like the title screen =)

Thanks! Actually, all of the characters, except for Shay and Ammon, are colored (Just click on the graphics in the character section to see.) I'll probably change the graphics to include the colored version eventually...I don't know why I didn't in the first place anyway. XD

And thanks about the titlescreen, too. I'm...still iffy about it, personally. My friend just made a new one from scratch, so I'll probably use that one.

Oh. She put 'Lunar' instead of 'Luna'...Figures. ^w^' Anyway, what do you guys think of it? Yes, it is sci-fi-ish. Yes, there is a logical reason behind that. XD

Just for the heck of it, here are all the colored characters so far.
I'm probably going to redo Izzy a bit. She was drawn...Wow, about a year ago. The design is the same, the drawing is just...Well, it could be better. XD
EDIT: Izzy is also small in comparison. Dang me and my lousy Photoshop resizing. XD
 
Ahh I didn't know Abby was a blonde XD. There goes me and my off perceptions. My ex and any other abby i've met in my life has been a dark haired girl lol. I like the way you shade your characters, very nice.

Well i'm sure we can fix the typo for your titlescreen easy.

Keep up the nice work, I'm enjoying the progression with this game.
 
This actually looks looking-forward worthy, all the characters seem likable and reading the story didn't bore me in the slightest. I'd love to try a demo to find out what your dialogue is like (Also: A fellow writer! Hurrah!)
How on earth did you manage to get so much help with your project? Seriously, I need whatever magic powder you're slipping to these helpers. G'luck <3

@Axe - Yep, she's blonde! If she ever sat down and gave it any thought, she would probably dye her hair darker though. XD And thanks! It's just a soft brush set to low opacity with quick and light tablet strokes. Or something like that. XD I like this way, too. ^^

Oh, and I've updated the image directory for the Memory website and I'll try and get some more stuff soon, so remind me to get that to you. ^_^

@WeAreSuperhero - Wow, thank you! Unfortunately, I don't think my written dialogue is that great. There's something about writing scripts that just kills me. x__x'

As for the helpers...I have no idea...But I'm so thankful that they're helping! I could never do this alone and everyone is so talented here! <33 I think the trick might be to help others first if you can, and then helps comes back to you. Maybe. XD

*scurries off to work on the script, duct tape in one hand and a pencil in the other*

[EDIT] EDIT: KYAAAAAAA!!! Second page! *hands out plushies of random Memory characters in celebration!* X3
 
Excellent story.

I think you are actually putting a new spin on the whole commonly used amnesia thing, and now it's just plain interesting.

I'm looking forward to this...

P.S. Is there a Naruto influence to this? Because Ammon looks and sounds like Shikamaru...
Personally, Shikamaru is one of my favorite characters. =)

No, there is no Naruto influence, I am certain of that. Ammon does not sound much like Shikamaru, anyway.

As Stated, Muse cannot set Akinari any tasks until I've pulled together all my work.

It's not necessarily bad news, I am almost halfway done.

PS: If you want to talk further, use the PM's.

Also, I'd like to add that the sprites are almost done for all the characters :3

Thank you! ^^ I really am trying to put a 'spin' on it and I'm glad that somebody noticed. It'll become even more noticable once the demo's out. XD

And Boon's right. No Naruto influence whatsoever. I don't even watch/read Naruto. XD I'm a pirate sorta gal, y'know? So, if there is any ninja-ing going on, it's completely accidental.

Umm...yes. Boon answered this one. XD We're working as hard and as fast as we can, so we can hopefully put out some maps soon. ^^

Glad to hear it! I'm excited to see Abby! ^_^
 
It looks awesome...

And no, I wasn't refering to the ninja-ing =), it's more of the personality, like he just wants to go home and live a normal life..."what a drag"?

Maybe I'm just watching too much of it *turns of tv*

Congratulations!  You're the first person ever to sound sarcastic about my mapping!  Still, very good judgement on your part!

Still, the sad truth is that I cannot map until I get the tilesets from Boon.  So hold tight, and hope they'll be done soon.
