Hehe my idea for Narin was just a quick example. Also, it HAS been set that it'll be a GTA style game? Thats cool, i just didn't think i read full confirmation on it

I'm gonna start some basic character graphics. Are we doing this 8- or 16-bit style? i.e. pixelated looking members/mods?

Also - As for generic enemies, noobs, trolls, leechers, beggars and 4chans should definitely be the generics.

EDIT: Ok people, don't focus on spesifics at this point. Time of cheats doesn't matter right now. We need very basic ideas to get this beast moving. As soon as we have full confirmation of genre, we can work on broad story-line. (if thats been confirmed, sorry, as i stated above, i don't remember seeing confirmation

The characters can be whatever as long as they're topdown

Don't animate them, the walking animation is done by coding.

Are we talking full-on top down (a la GTA?) or isometric 2/3rds top-down (old school RPGs)

I really think the isometric angle would be good to recognize people a lot easier (especially since we are doing this for recognition's sake, more or less).

EDIT: @Noitora - is this an original GTA style game, for sure?

Hmm.... but I swear I read somebody (possibly Noitora but I dunno) this game is GTA style, also Noitora's screenshot so far supports this, GTA 2D style

Although, my meory might fail me, I'm concentrating on Crisis Core right now

I wanna be in it!

Are you going to make this stupid (windows only) or multiplatform (fun for linux too!)

can I help in any major way? or minor.
Sorry Antoligy I add only people I know, I've said that more than 10 times already.
I knew that already!
Thats why I asked if i could be in the project!

EDIT: Add the cheats in to be enabled via a special menu that you have to buy first. that would be pretty good.

It will probably look exactly like this.

The problem would be Narin is a character that will hardly come out, as he's supposed to be a secret shop, out of mere people's eyes

Although, instead of being a secret shop, he could be an elite shop (soooo expensive

just as I read I'm in da game, Odin shows up for the first time
laugh.gif


Sooo.. I'm even more motivated, we've established it would look like GTA 2D so....

IDK, really GTA seems to have polluted my head
laugh.gif
all I can think of with style like that is mafia based, which birngs me to that Interwebz mafia theme

I have a few choices for starter:
1. Our character is an old member of the mafia
2. Our character quits the mafia and seek revenge for reasons unknown
3. Our character is a new guy in the mafia, and will find his way to the title "Don"
4. Our character is actually a cop undercover, seeking ways to destory the mafia


What do you guys think?

How about the mafia steals the main characters flashcarts, and has to go through the city tracking them down and killing all the thieves, at the same time other members of GBAtemp are on the hunt for them too, meaning he dosent know if the carts hes looking for are in the possession of gangsters or GBAtemp members!

Something like that

Can we sum this up, which members are in the game so far?

I'd say that the FBI would do that sort of thing and not the mafia.

Maybe they think the flashcarts contain important data, seing the main char reads the data with a "laptop" which is an NDSL

EDIT: If we're all set, I can start imagining things right now

The feds took the flashcarts and Tempy is on a mission to get them back, with help of the members of GBAtemp!

Standing in his way are all sorts of trolls (p1ngpong, playallday) that will try and give him false information! Tempy must torture and/or kill the trolls in order to get more information about the whereabouts of the stash (and maybe a flashcart or two from the looted remains).

So, I'll gather our opinions as of 01:13 AM

1st: there's this guy named Tempy, a regular NDS
yaynds.gif
playa

2nd: a n00b saw him inserting a flashcart and reading the data with his "laptop"
yaynds.gif
a la Mr. 47

3rd: thinking it cotains important data, the n00b swept Tempy's "laptop" from his hands and made away with the flashcart, fortunately, Tempy's "laptop" is safe

4th: Tempy went for an adventure to get his flashcart back (which contains savegames from ol' good games to new rockin' games
rolleyes.gif
)

5th: While tempy recognizes the thief as a mafia member, he saw the same cart (which was taken by the feds for "illegal ROMs") in teh hands of feds (which is trying to investigate the mafia, which is trying to down the feds)

6th: confused, Tempy decided to investigate both of them, doing missions ranging from simply delivering packages to daring things

7th: Meanwhile, a mysterious guy codenamed Costello kept calling Tempy to give him hints and instructions about his cart's whereabouts
