Homebrew FretFury

Also, we should change the color of one of the notes, that way it is not just like GH

i think we should change it becuase they both are red octane(GH and RB) and they acually tried to sue FoF for the GH1,2,3 and rock band mods so i think we should change it

 

[unsteadycarrot]

does the colour of the notes really matter? arent the same colours also used in rock revolution? (i may be wrong about that) but i doubt they would copywrite the colours on the notes >.>

 

[rendner]

please dont change the colors, so we can use the guitar hero grip (same colors) to!

 

[alex]

Yeah, I think having it normal would be helpful... So no changing colors unless they stop up. And then we'll get rid of it, and move into the alleys and give it there.

Been saying this alot all over the forums, but if you guys need help with graphics and the like, I'd be more than happy to help. Just don't expect miracles! PM'ing me would probably be the best option.

Everyone check out this site i found

012345678910, don't do that, use the signature. And I prefer rewards1.com, don't post your referral in a post. This is about the homebrew, most of us know that site.

Hey I'm back. And my ds is green now! Anyway I'm going to start drawing know. I think I'll tackle the rock meter, and if there is time, the menu.

@wazmo
When you say that you will "put my name on the project" does that mean that I will get a cut of the money if we win, because that would be awesome. Plus, I think that you should go ahead and enter it for this month. Even if it is not finished, we can still win. Plus, as long as FretFury undergoes significant updates every month, we can enter it over and over again, which could win you a lot of money.

With the fretboard, do you intend on making the notes get larger as the approach the bottom of the screen, or do you want the notes to be the same size the whole way down. I think that they should be the same size everywhere on the screen. That way the sprites don't get all distorted from resizing or anything. I'm guessing that it would also be easier to code this way as well. I'll hold off on making the fretboard until I know want exactly you want it to look like.

Also, though I think changing the color of one of notes would only help the project stay alive, I would also like to keep the original colors simply because they are what we are all used to.

@012345678910
Thank you very much. I'm glad to hear that you like my work.

 

[Moonlite]

hey are you going to ad a readme file to explain how to add songs

 

[ShakeBunny]

Tah-dah! Here it is, the rock meter!

The seperate sprites of the meter are for when certain sections of the meter light up. From top to bottom they are red, yellow, then green. I know the difference is subtle, but it will look much different on the touch screen. Also included is the little marker that shows how good you are doing, and another mock screen shot.

Oops, the meter in the pic does not have the green light lit up. Oh well, it does not really matter. The screen is only meant to show you what it could look like in the game. Enjoy!

I'm going to make the lines that make up the held down notes now. It should not take very long. After that I'll tackle hammer ons and pull offs.

@wazmo
I will email you all of the sprites I make tonight tomorrow.

 

[alex]

Will H-O P-O even be possible?
Damn that is phucking sweet!

 

[wazmo]

ok im almost ready to start wrighting my note flow code (after contacting like a million people and searching the web for answers) i will be using text files. looks like smells like teen spirit is winning so it will probably be the sample song (yay)

When you say that you will "put my name on the project" does that mean that I will get a cut of the money if we win

wellllllllllll i gueeeeeessss you can have a cut of the money *chough*not*cough* just kidding i will probably give you a cut because you have provided all the sprites and they are all really well done plus you gave me the txt file idea so yeah a cut seems fair.

on an off-topic note. im so psyched i just preordered both guitar hero world tour and rock band 2 at EB games and I already have enough money in the bank for both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>.< I wanted to get it, but I wasted the some of my $50 I got on a Supacard! But yeah, I'm getting more on Saturday! Woo-hoo!
Damn, we need one of those!

 

[ShakeBunny]

Wazmo, if you do not want to give me any of the money that's fine. I just thought that was what you were hinting toward. I'm going to be getting a student loan soon anyway, so a cut of the prize money from this wouldn't really help me much compared to that. Besides, the real prize is the awesome game we are making.

Also, will you be releasing another demo soon? I really want to know where you are at with the coding. Thanks. I really just want a cool ds game with my name on it. That would be sweet.

Good news! Here are both the hammer on-pull off sprites and the lines for held notes. They didn't take me as long as I thought they would.


Whoops, part of the blue line has a little brown on it. I'll fix it before I send you the sprites via email, wazmo. I guess I'm working a little too quickly to notice little imperfections like that, but don't worry, I won't skip out on quality. I promise.

 

[alex]

Aren't they a bit skinny? I haven't played GH in a while so I wouldn't know.

 

[Brian117]

Dang, I was looking forward to you using my Rock Meter.

Nothing ever goes my way anyways.

Good looking sprites so far guys.

 

[ShakeBunny]

This is the last one for the night, but it is a good one. It took me a long time to make this one, so I hope you really like it.

Here it is, the logo!



Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

@wazmo
I really want to know how you plan for the fretboard to look. I can't draw it until I know. Thank you.

@lostsoul5673
They do look kinda small, but I looked at screens from GH3 to get the proportions right. I noticed that when they hit, however, that they do get thicker and brighter. I might make another set of them later for when the note gets hit.

 

[alex]

Awesome logo! It's my two favorite colors! Red and black!

 

[wazmo]

I really want to know how you plan for the fretboard to look. I can't draw it until I know. Thank you.

well i think i just want one that will fit in the black space in the background in the demo (you know on the top screen) i'm not going to make the fretboard move (yet) so if you can just make a good looking one that i can put where that black space is that would be great. by the way that logo blew my mind! its just so......perfect GREAT job!!!!

 

[Dizwix]

Sorry eldhand, but wazmo is getting all of the money. He deserves it the most.

Good news. I have finished the multiplier for the game. Here it is.




I also included sprites for the lights on the side and a mock screen shot of where the multiplier is supposed to go. Hope you like it.

@wazmo
Once again, you will be getting an email with these sprites shortly.

Excuse me but I think you've forgotten 6 and 8 for the multiplicators.^^
Or we're not going to use star power?
