Ninian Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 It's a bit harder for me to write with preexisting characters, because they're a little harder to work with, because there are going to be more expectations in place then if I work with new characters, i.e. these ones.

Siegmund Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Ok, but still, what exactly were you hoping to help with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninian Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Writing. Suggestions. Betatesting, especially considering I'm in the minority of non-PSP emulators, so I have to see if this works or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroMaster47 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Writing. Suggestions. Betatesting, especially considering I'm in the minority of non-PSP emulators, so I have to see if this works or not. Me and Sieg are already knee-deep in the writing, so I'm not really sure if you can help much with that, I'm afraid. I mean, if you want to take a character from the list in the OP and write up something for them, then that's okay. I'll be putting up chapter overviews soon as well, so if you want to throw in some story ideas in after reading through those, then go right ahead, but myself and Sieg are going to be handling most, if not, all of the writing otherwise. Suggestions and betatesting are perfectly fine, and I've got no problem with you doing either of those. EDIT: OP has been updated with the new, revised plot summary!

Ninian Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Alright, thanks for allowing me to help! I like thinking up things that major enemies would say when battling, against leaders, special opponents like friends and the like, or generic. (Have to do it a lot for my personal writing.) My original conversation between Nergal and Ninian was a little lacking, I know, but I improved it, quite a bit, if I do say so myself. Besides, the minor bosses don't have a whole lot of story behind them, (or have been seen before, for that matter...) so I could probably even just improvise and be fine. Obviously, though, I won't. Risky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroMaster47 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 No problem! If you have any ideas, don't be afraid to post them. Now, since you ninja'd my edit from my last post, I'll say this again: The OP has been updated with the new plot summary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninian Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I'd rather set up a three-way PM, (or just between me and you, if that works better for you) so this thread doesn't get swamped with complaints about my writing. Had to shut down another topic for just that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you clarify what you mean by this? I don't think an awful lot of people use PSP emulators, if that's what you're suggesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninian Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Exactly why I called it a minority. I've noticed some hacks don't work completely properly on mine, so I'm trying to assist them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Oh, alright. For a moment there, it sounded like you thought that the majority of people used PSP emulators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninian Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Nope. I know it's mostly VBA, but I (and a few others) like using PSPs. Just a matter of taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeDusk Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Lol, this is my first post in ROM hacking While I'm not that fussed about hacks, this actually looks pretty cool. SS is probably my second favourite FE game, and the plot/characters are shaping up quite nicely (I'm presuming the latter is more so finalised, while the plot has rough edges that need to be smoothed out) I'm probably a bit late, but if you decide on getting additional help with writing some of the character dialogue, I'll be more than willing to help. I can understand if you don't though. Either way, I'll be paying attention to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) @Dodge Dusk, We currently don't need any writing or dialogue help, since it's already mostly been done. Feel free to PM me or Hero with any suggestions of ideas, or if you want to help in any other ways.

HeroMaster47 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Not a lot of movement in the past week or so, so I guess I owe everyone a progress report. The plot is coming along nicely, done up to chapter 12. Sieg is doing some concept sprites, and I'm learning map design. I'm still clueless with maps, even after reading Prime's tutorial on it. Once I get my head around it, I'll be planning the events on those maps. I also have a plan for the initial beta release. It will be the first half of the game to be done in the first beta, and then once the full thing is done, that will also get a beta. Not concerned with picking beta testers yet, as there's still a lot of work to be done. This is just here because I want to let you know where I'm looking for this to be at in terms of initial beta release plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Kitty Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 you could alternatively hire a mapper to be alleviated of another task </shameless advertising> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'd hire Kitty, best mapper on SF, who actually produces content in a timely manner. Just curious, has anything actually been done aside from a sprite or two, and storystorystory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Here are some sprites: Daniel: Lemuel: Felix: Edited January 7, 2014 by Siegmund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroMaster47 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'd show off some portraits so that we can at least show SOME progress other than story. I've also done weapon icons, but I hardly think that those will suffice (and I've only done tome icons). I appreciate the offer, Kitty, but I can't afford to hire anyone. The only real issue that I'm having with the maps are mountains, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninian Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Oceans and Lakes in their place, then? By the way, Sieg, I think the Generals need portraits, from what I described, okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'm not doing those, at least not yet Ninian. They aren't as important as people like Lemuel and Felix and Elias, who are all main characters. Right now I'm concentrating on making ones for more central characters.

AnonymousSpeed Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think your mugs are pretty starts. Felix and Lemuel are a bit rough but it's not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroMaster47 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Oceans and Lakes in their place, then? Nah, I'll just wing it for the first versions of the maps. I'll pretty them up once I've planned out their events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
