This is yet another update on the site and game. First thing is we’ve gotten a lot of members recently (a new member each day), so to help organize, I’ll give all new members a choice to select between joining a pre-chapter/chapter after posting their profile or waiting a few chapters in the Main Story and participating in the Elite Forces campaign right now. In Elite Forces, you make your own teams and stories with your main character as leader (read my example team profile for more info on teams). In Elite Forces, you make teams based on your main character, your main assistant (if you don’t have one for the Main Story, create one for EF and post the profile there) and other team members you create for EF alone. You can then create your own adventures or take a part of ones I make. You need to agree with at least another member to make your own adventures, since your teams will fight together or against each other (pm me first). Based on how well developed and long it takes for the EF campaign, will be how much EXP your main character gains for the Main Story (abstaining from one chapter in the Main Story might give you more EXP on EF). For the sprites and tiles needed to make your own map, click here. Also, form the sixteenth member onwards (up to Aya-Tsuki), nobody will get Assistant’s Aid unless they help me in coding. Last, for the site, does anyone want an extra section to the board? Also, since some of you might be suspicious as to whether there’ll be a game or not, here’s a screenshot of the test game on Program 1. There’s not much in it, and the enemies don’t have AI yet (I’ll add it after I add a turn/movement control system). Right now the game runs like an RPG and not a tactical RPG like I want to make it. Any comments will be received. Test Game screenshot I know you have some doubts, complaints, comments or suggestions, so post them below. If you're reading this, I would like to see your opinion. |

I would say that is a game yes. I was wanting to ask for a support converstions board where people can have little convosations between two charecters only <not increassing post count etc>, just so that if you can put supports into the game you can lift sections from the peoples convosations. Otherwise it is going well Merc |

Yes, I thought of that and had told you earlier that I planned to put one up soon (I'll wait a little longer to start). The game will not include support conversations, but here there will be. If anyone can find me a code to put links on someone's profile fields (the lines below the Money code) on Zetaboards, I would appreciate it and give them soemthing in return. |

Yay, I saw my name.... Anyway just a thought but to for the EF (make your own) campaign how about making a thread for advertisements. (I would but I'm not sure how you want to build on your EF idea). I guess you could call it a tavern, a place where people looking for people to RP with post. Something like; Looking for 2 characters in an RP, no sword users, I need a map. I have a plot. RP experience requirement: low. Etc? I just think this would make it easier for people to communicate, and while PM is adequate it doesn't really encourage interacting with people you usually don't interact with. Once again I try to give advice and once again at the end I'm not sure what my point is.... well hopefully someone out there can interpret it. ------------------------------------------------------- Anyway with EF it's possible to not have an EF team but participate in someone elses story right? Or host a story with only one character hoping someone else will drop by? Maybe a team member limit might be a good idea. I'd think 3 members would be an ample amount, considering you'll get more from other players. But I wouldn't see the need to make more then 6 characters per person. Plus I think that if you create too many characters you loose touch with them and your Rp'ing gets more bland. Edited by Aya-Tsuki, Sep 28 2008, 01:18:49 AM.

Ok, I think that be a good idea and another use to give the Guilds and Clubs sections. I made a topic for the subforum called the Tavern. Yes, you can join someone elses adventure with only your main character. I don't think a member limit is necessary, everypone has their standards on how many characters they can/want to control, and even though a low number is better, they can have as amny on their team as they want (also they don't have to use the entire team each adventure). Also, any comments on the game? |

By "As you can see I can only control one unit at a time" do you mean only one charecter per chapter? And is the text insead of a battle cut scene with the battle sprities I know some people are making? |

For the elite forces campaigns, where do we post our plots? Under our teams or is there going to be a seperate board? |

For the adventure plots, you post in Elite Foces. For the palnning of plots with other members you post in The Tavern thread. To Bromf: I mean I can only control one (main) character at once. I can let you choose which characters you can play as (before the game starts, I made a screen pop up and ask if you want to play as male or female). And cut scenes might not be added for space and more coding (it is not Program 2), but if battle animations are made (the only one making one [that I know] is SN, so if It can't be added to the game paly, he'll appear some place else, like the main screen), I could still find some use for them. Also, how many of you have broadband? (This should be a question all members wanting the game should answer, because it concerns all of you) Because a game with battle animatons will take up almost double the space as a game with simple animations. |

I have broadband and if you make it as a torrent I can have it going any time. But most people should have it. Ok, so there will be no battle scenes then? |

There might not be for some time. For now, they're not assured. |
