Thats really awesome Majik, almost Guardian Heroes stylee..

So perhaps we should aim to do this in Virtools or XNA SE when it comes out so everyone can get involved. I' m more of a scripter myself, but can do code when forced to!

I know some very talkented coders, and would be looking to bring in at least one to help out. He has other pojects on standby, but I also have pick of my 1st year intake for the programming modules!

It would be good to know how powerful XNA SE will be, if it not very good then we will go mainstream!

It' s run something like this rather than do PHD at the min for me - as Im really not ready for that, plus I want to get back in the industry at some point, perhpas at producer level, so I have an agenda too. Or perhaps in Music itself.

I have to write papers every now and then too, so this will give us useful ways to apply the research too! This thread is kinda linked with the other one now....

We should get msn hookups asap, as when my term starts Ill be more busy, so it would help if communication was fluid!

Contrary to what VX asked for, I wanted to show
some form of a relationship with these two, so I drew a relaxed picture

Just reread some of the thread, and read this! I did actually at some point imagine her riding on his shoulders, gameplay wise it could be to pass larger chasms or to outrun things where her legs arent quite long enough!


Also Majik, i like the Monster y ou did, and it isnt quite traditional.

Aslo, does anyone have a guide to modelling game characters? iv been lookign but have found nothing!"

As iv earlier noted Shadow of the Colussus and ICO are major inspirations to this game, and i have played neither. So iv aquired myself a PS2 and SotC and im looking for ICO. I just booted up SotC yesterdya, and i like the AD in it! its just not what im used to looking at in terms of graphics, from either my GC or my Xbox, or 360 for that matter, but ill suffer through it, as i feel really good vibes coming from the game!

So no comments to my backdrop?

Sorry, just read your back drop now...

It' s all very good if a bit much to take in (there' s too many numbers)

But so far I' m liking it..

I think the Shadow should have their own brute like Ameera, and probably be
about the same age.

The Shadow should be a shadow of the heir to the throne at the time.

Would that be better or? I mean, it can still be a guy the Shadow, as you said it
has to be a male.

I think the Shadow should have their own brute like Ameera, and probably be
about the same age.

mmm the shadow isnt a kingdom, its just one person, imbued with special powers. the enemy is currently called the Northlanders, but we could give them a name, though somehow the northlanders sounds good to me!

Ameera is the girl? not the brute, remember?

No, I meant, the brute helping Ameera, the shadow is one person I know
but should be a shadow of Ameera - A child with a brute to help.

Ahhh yeah, i understand now! that would be a good idea! young boy! amazonish warrior to help him?

Yeah, that' s the idea. The shadow doesn' t always have to be a kid, but in this
age he should be.

I' m liking the backdrop more and more VX, just a tad less numbers and I' ll be ok.

I envy you guys - you can draw , do the coding and compose music

All I have are empty ideas that I can' t translate to paper...

:(

I cant draw! or compose, im just writting the ideas from my head!

yeah , but they can actually make it...

The more the better.

Mmm yeah they can make it! but im a big help in the process or id like to think so :P

It IS your idea. You' re the lead game designer

Hey Tiz, its beyond Sunday! Majik and Musashi, what do you guys thínk of the backdrop?

Sorry, got a few new pics to load up.. They' re unfinished though as having
trouble deciding on the colour.. But I' ll load em up and you can see, I' ll load
em up tonight..

I read you' re going for a Persian theme here (what with the main char' s name and all), but you were thinking of making the brute nameless?

How about Cyrus? The First Achaemenian Emperor of Persia, considered to be one of the greatest rulers in Ancient Persia.

Or you could throw some Persian religious aspect in there, and name the brute Mazda (Not the car ) after the God of Light. Just a suggestion!
