We could probably also have cutscenes in our game. I know a few ways to execute this.

Each character has different poses that they preform in different situations.

We actually have flash animation for this.

We have sprite animation.

Personally, I think we should opt for the first option.

On the voice issue: I do have a good microphone, but I'd need a bit of scripting. I think my character would use sound bytes as a Shout-Out, though.

Yeah, unless we got someone who's good with flash.

We should probably sort out who's doing what and then work from there once the project really gets started. Right now we're still in the chaotic forming brainbabby stage.

Well, I know that I'm the main villain who framed Phantom for murder, and he's trying to find out who framed him.

On music, one of the major reasons I think we should go with Touhou for v1.0 is because there's a wealth of music in various styles by various artists. But it's all composed by one guy, so it's the perfect resource to bring aural unison to the project while having the option to use metal, orchestral, jazz, rock and whatever other genre you can find.

The great diversity in the music means that I'm sure just about everyone could find a piece they liked.

I can handle storyshit, since that's the only part of video games I'm qualified to do.

^^ That just means you're a villain in his arc. You could be an ally in another arc.

Actually, I've brainstormed quite a few game plots, too, since I plan on being a videogame designer / writer person.

I think this is a rare case of an indie game having three writers.

We could have different writers do different character story mode thingies.

I doubt 13's going to be a good guy, but he's better served as a Diabolus ex Nihilo than one of the major plot catalysts.

And I'm also here for writing and design if you need me.

That's a great idea.

I thought of something, how about I try leading your character to believe that someone else framed you? IRL, I'm really good at acting in public, knowing the human psyche, and being able to put on my poker face when I'm feeling furious or about to cry.

So, my story is playing The Chessmaster with The Space Phantom (and possibly a few other characters), and being a general douche.

I'm supposed to be helping Alex when we run into Blackmoon. Whereupon we become a power trio or something, probably after a fight.

Edmania, do you ever want us to work out what you're up to? Or should it be ambiguous right til the end? That's a question for everyone, actually.

My guy'll probably think (OR BE TRICKED INTO THINKING surprised) that you guys are the bad guys, and he'll punch you guys in the face until he realizes that he's been tricked.

I just thought that there would be a scene in Phantom and I's stories, where we eat some food together, talking about who framed him, and at one point, I say:

"Human meat tastes good, don't it?"

I'll come up with something you guys can work with soon enough, but right now i'm too sleepy to make a decent personality/backstory.

And then I'll record my best insanely evil laugh, since at that point, I already lead him along, he's fought everyone, and he's starting to suspect me anyway, so why not ham it up?

#197: Jun 17th 2011 at 11:49:04 PM

So, I think I came up with something somewhat decent for Tre's backstory, it just needs someone else who stole whatever.

Basically, I thought he'd be a normal guy before a prized possession of his (either his phone, iPod or headphones) gets stolen by one of the other characters, and as a result he goes on a giant, Kill Bill-style Roaring Rampage of Revenge to get it back.

I have a backstory, but it's current form is fairly long and prosey instead of descriptive. Should I post it in full anyway?
