Graphics

...but I don't really have much time to do anything in this month (another competition) so if you could start thinking about deadlines and dates that would be great coz i really wanna help out

Or we could do it without you D:
But of course, we prefer to have you on board. What are you? An artist?

I forgot: We don't have any musicians on NH, now do we? D:

I think that another good example of what we're trying to make is the somewhat old game Castle Crashing the Beard, a pun at Tom Fulp's beard.

If you do not know this game, check this out.

Ahem, I'm a musician / artist thank you very much
And yeah any help we could get would be brilliant Kurai. We will sort out a deadline and other dates when the other devs come on and share their opinions - I love the idea, I just hope it goes ahead.

I'll write a blog post once this is all finalised and we have some deadlines so you can look it up

Any music which we'll need just give me a shout, Vion can tell you how great my stuff sounds (If I may say so myself)

Yep, that's another great example of what I'd like to achieve. Ty for linking

Sorreh. I didn't know.

I really didn't

As I don't have anything to do, I'll just start thinking of ideas for ze kollab.

Hmmm... I post too much on the forums.

LOL, and yeah I'm an animator

I'll help, artist, animator (mainly) I can play your composition (i play guitar) and I can help a tiny amount with code. (As2 only sorry).

I've been playing around with different styles, but I can usually draw how ever I need to. So if you don't have an artist yet, tell me what kinda feel you want and I'll get some concept up.

If you got another arist, I can animate the work.

Hey Dimeck, as we've got quite a few developers (and other cool people) that animate, we should have multiple of them. It'd be cool to see the different styles in the game, as long as it fits together enough, so no B&W scribbly stuff and coloured nice graphics together.

The fact that we have a lot of animators and artists also means that not everyone can make it, but a big part should be able to.

We could have multiple musicians as well, but we can only have coders that code in the same language. If we pick AS3, I can't code. Well, I can code a BIT in AS3, just very basic stuff D:



I could make the menu, or some room before the big fight in which you can practise movement/we can test the basic engine?

It's a small game, and whoever's interested can take part
And flashtoo nothing's set in stone right now.

I feel that I'm much better at drawing backgrounds / scenery / platforms than doing the actual characters themselves, Maybe someone else would want to make the character and boss? That could be quite a lot of work tho.

Dimeck it would be great to have you help
Nice, I play keyboard and saxophone but I'd probably do it on a computer.
So, we're happy with the idea I take it?

Next step: Moooarrr Ideas!

-We need a theme.
That means, we have a boss and a main character who have a reason for fighting each other...
e.g. for Ultimate Crab Battle it was a person riding a shark trying to kill a giant crab, underwater.
My best idea is a spoof of Godzillah... OHH! Toastzillah! It's a giant toaster which falls from the sky. It could have a piece of toast in it with an angry face and could have laser eyes, could send out burning pieces of toast..hm not much else it could do.

Ideas?

And flashtoo nothing's set in stone right now.

I know, no worries. I don't think every animator/artist on the site could join, it'd be a mess. But of course, I could be wrong

Ideas?

Well I was thinking of either a fictional character (like your toaster) or some giant gladiator, that you have to fight in an arena. It'd give space for a lot of artists
Maybe we could even have cool crowd reactions or something.

Oh and some room before the fight in which you can practise movement. Just for a minute.

BTW is the game going to be flat, like in this picture:


Or as in Cave of Wonders or Castle Crashing the Beard?

butter firing abilities and headbutt buildings with its crust. In the last scene it could have a giant toast sword,

Another idea is a Venus flytrap (that hops around in a pot (normal sized)) against a giant robo fly with lazer cannons!

Interesting. Who're we controlling? The fly? It could have wicked controls, like a helicopter

Flat?

No flat looks horrible in my opinion.
I was thinking in a similar style to Cave of Wonders - cartoony, but obv. not a complete rip-off.

I think a spoof of something would go down the best, because it's something people can relate to. You know? Plus it would be less random and more funny

Kurai the more you say about Toastzillah the more I love him [clr=pink]♥[/clr]
And if the fight was in an arena, it would seem more staged an unoriginal in my opinion. Just think outside the box and we could be onto a winner

True.
I love toastzilla too, ?
