Ninian Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Can you send me some ideas? I might be able to critique on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelman Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 If you need icons, I have my gallery in the sprite section. Advertising for the win. Why not show your maps off? You might need critic on those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroMaster47 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 I would show off maps... but I haven't done any yet. I just finished finalising the first act of the story, actually, and I'm having a little break right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Kitty Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 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. 'twas just throwing the idea out there if you change your mind I'm still around o 3o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeroMaster47 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Okay, I've done a map. It's a rough idea of what the prologue map will look like. Edited January 7, 2014 by HeroMaster47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Kitty Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 er you know that weapon icons have to have a specific 16 color palette right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroMaster47 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) I used a chart to follow the palette. Unless that chart I used is wrong. Edited January 7, 2014 by HeroMaster47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Kitty Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'm going to go with yes, your chart is horribly wrong. For the record, those colors I posted are the 16 colors(15 colors +1 bg) allowed in weapon icons unless you manually go and change the set 16 to a different 16.

HeroMaster47 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Right. Thanks for informing me on that problem. I'll fix those icons immediately. Was the main issue the purple on some of the icons, or are they all completely wrong? I went over them with your colour chart, and the colours seemed to be the same aside from the purple.

Chocolate Kitty Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think the purple was the only thing(I think I saw pink as well), but the colors have to be exactly those 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroMaster47 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) I think the purple was the only thing(I think I saw pink as well), but the colors have to be exactly those 16. There definitely wasn't any pink. I've removed the purple (replaced it with the blue), and all the others colours are correct.

NICKT™ Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 There's potential, but I don't honestly see much of anything else that's actually substantial and of decent quality.Though, nonetheless, I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors, I shall keep an eye on this.

NICKT™ Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Oh, if you could see the behind-the-scenes. Oh trust me, ask any of the majors on the Serenes' hacking board and I'm sure they'd be delighted to fill you in. I was stuck behind-the-scenes of my own project, and boy, when I say that we had it all figured out, I really mean we did, and it wasn't just poor splices from a fresh beginner, but actually had pretty good quality spread amongst all fronts of graphical and written assets. But at the end, barely anything actually came about from that, there was maybe a few chapters that got made, but beyond that there was nothing. So forgive me if I don't exactly become any enthused by hearing you've got plans... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninian Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Portraits and story are being done right now, if I can read into things well enough. Sorry about the release date statement...THERE IS NO RELEASE DATE! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Edited January 12, 2014 by Ninian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroMaster47 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Portraits and story are being done right now. I'm no good with release dates or anything, but I'm giving a rough estimate of...late second or third quarter release. Don't put a release date on this. I don't believe in release dates, they cause disasters like Sonic '06. I'm going to take my sweet, precious time to make sure that this project doesn't suck, so the game will be done when it's done, mmkay?

I'm no good with release dates or anything, but I'm giving a rough estimate of...late second or third quarter release. Umm what are you talking about? There is no way for you to even think about "estimating" a release date as you don't even really know about "behind the scenes" progress or anything. So, please stop, mkay? EDIT: Above was harsh, but I was pissed. In regards to this project not working out, it may not, but I know I am pretty committed to seeing this through and I am guessing that Hero feels the same way. So far, I've done about 1/2 of the mugshots of important characters (mostly splices of 3-4 characters but they'll do for now.)

Ninian Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Time to get past that...some interested fan, NOW would be the time to ask if such-and-such is going to be in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blyegg Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Will Tana and Amelia be married? How many planned chapters? How much is already inserted/how much experience does whoever the hacker is have in hacking? Will you be importing FE8's songs into the hack? Here are some sprites: Daniel: Daniel as a northern noble.png IIRC, Sain has a different head angle then others, so you need to account for that in he splice. Lemuel: Lemuel.png Felix: felix-2.png they need foreheads Sorry if something was already asked or mentioned.Anyways gl with this; it looks interesting.

Anyways gl with this; it looks interesting. No. There's going to be around 28-30 chapters. We're dealing with the story in two halves, Act 1 goes to Chapter 15. Nothing is inserted, and I don't have a lot of experience with hacking, but I'm learning, and getting the hang of it pretty quickly. I'm mostly working on maps, sprites and planning out the events before I get into actual hacking, just so I know exactly how I want everything to play out to make my job easier. I'm considering importing FE8 tracks. I'll probably do it, this is meant to be an FE8 sequel, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) I figure I'll give everyone an update on my part. I've finished making concept portraits for all the playable characters, except for 2, in Act 1. I'm moving on to villains and important NPCs. After that I will start prepping the portraits for insertion. On a side note, I may request help with creating sprites for older versions of FE8 characters (such as L'Arachel, Gerik, and more); however, for now I'm going to keep playing around with it and see what I can come up with (as some, like Ephraim, could be made using splices). If anyone has any advice for that task I would appreciate it. Two more sprites for ya: Phoebe Jasper oh and thanks BlueWyvern, I've fixed the foreheads for those guys.

Pixelman Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) This is getting real interesting, but... You do know that making a good game that's 28-30 chapters is a lot of work? Also, why don't you guys split up the work? One person could do anything art related, while the other does hacking and writing. Trying to learn hacking while doing maps at the exact same time could halt any progress on getting the events done. Also, why don't you just finish the portraits now? Nothing is stopping you from finishing them :/ EDIT: Why Carcino as the bad guys? They probably don't have a big army, if at all.
