Intros, Titles, etc.

Okay, I was planning on getting a subforum for this, but it'd be a royal pain in the ass to continue creating subforums in subforums every time we reach a step.


Also, because we lost that forum in the rollback, we don't seem to be getting much done and we're discussing and making "general" items and concepts to make up for it.


So, yeah, we were starting with some, and then after the rollback, it stopped. Let's continue on what we were doing.



We need the copyright/this-game-shouldn't-have-been-purchased screen, then the title screens, menus programmed, and the slides for the intro story.

Let me create a list so you can better figure it out:

- Programmers need to make the screens and create a basic title template with menu options (make them just New Game, Options and Quit for now), and a slideshow template for the intro slide pictures.

- We need someone/some people to condense the beginning of the storyline into storyboards for use in the intro slides. We need people to condense the text, and we need people to create rough copies of each slide.

- We need our artists. Seriously, where'd they all go? We had one artist making the intro slides, and I know we had more than one artist for this project.




Also, 2 things I'd like to address right now:

1. Do not submit your sprites to MFGG or any other website. They are strictly for the Community Fangame Project.
2. This project is not meant to be a feast upon which members can critique everything and edit vastly to the point of "perfection." Remember, this is a community project. If sprites are a little bit different, that's okay! It's a unique way of showing all the different people involved. You can critique, definitely, but don't go to the point where you're telling someone the most intricate detail, and/or you take it upon yourself to completely edit the sprite into your own style/sprite, defeating the purpose of the original individual creating the sprite.

K I guess I will do some of the scripts for the Story and make some more enemys and bosses but anyways I think we can't do the script if we still don't even have the boss for it.
I mean I can still make it but it will be alittle different.

If you're talking final boss, yeah, we might want to figure out who that'll be so we can set our facts straight.

If we already have a final boss, and you're talking about bosses through-out the levels, no, we don't need to worry about that when doing the script.

I forget who made the original but:

Yes, Irock. That's the original one which doesn't apply anymore because of the new storyline. We need our artists to create new slides for the intro.

After having the drawn story intro and it is played in the game, could the digging through the cave part to find the talisman be animated with sprites? Cause I have this wonderful idea on how to sprite it.
And who is working on Mario Bros' Engine?

I could draw some intro slides if thats fine.

I still think the cave level should of been a gameplay mode but I guess we can have another cave level because I have this perfect Idea for it.

... not... too sure what this has to do with the intros or titles.


MR21: Sure, sounds like an idea.


Kremling, that'd be great. Before you do so, we still need to condense the beginning of the storyline into summary text + storyboard format.

Oh ok, just tell me when you need me.

Somehow we need to advertise this CFP better... I mean, engine makers are slim to none, and spriters have left things to dry... and tons of artists are gone. Sword was even gonna help do art until recently before the rollback.
How can we get more people to help? I mean having UltraMario and Flipiberke on the team would make one of the best fangames ever.

I can agree with that, it does need more advertising. Any idea as to how?

Hmmmm... I thought admins were supposed to come up with these things!!
Nah, well, I know you have the banner in your sig (which I can't somehow link in mine) and that it is a seperate forum...but maybe a signup sheet again? At once you had people that you could refer back to if no one would help.
I dunno... what do you think?

I don't like the sign-up sheet idea, as it took away from the "community" perspective.


And hey, I'm not organizing this as an admin, I'm organizing this as an organizer with admin abilities.

Argh...
Then really, how are we supposed to let people know we need help?

That's actually not a bad idea.

Don't some people go archive.mfgg.net immediately instead of going to mfgg.net?
We need some advertisement here, too.

And if you do add it to the main site, make sure there is a button with a link. :P

This is kinda what I had in mind... we could have Toads digging around and then suddenly one would find it.

Quick Mockup- Portrait Sucks :P

Are yall still working on the script?
