Project Garnia, -Recruiting AGAIN

man, and after you guys liked the models so much! Aw well.

So yeah...we aren't exactly back to square one, but dang...we are getting there. Please, please, if you can sprite, please help. Sorry to sound so desperate, but we have wroked for so long, and I don't want to see this die...

This is still being programmed in Python isn't it?

Why do you ask?

Sorry to bump, but.....

We are currently looking for a new programmer. So if you're interested, please step up.

SOME MORE ABOUT THE GAME:




Genre:
Beat-em-up, platformer, adventure, puzzle

Battle style:
Hack & slash

Protagonists:
Autumn Hero Tadd- Weapon: Hammer
Spring Hero Gladis- Weapon: Bow
Winter Hero Fridgy- Weapon: Chakrams
Summer Hero Jenene- Weapon: Giant Double-Bladed Sword

Gameplay:

-Each World will have four Level Phases in total.

-Teamwork is needed as all four characters cooperate to complete a puzzle.

-To finish a level, a character has to rescue a trapped Wave.
-Free a Wave by striking the crystal ball it is encased in to shatter it.

-The player controls all four characters, one at a time and can switch between them. Each character plays differently so the player will have to make good use of them. For example, Gladis uses a bow and is better at hitting enemies from a far. Fridgy's chakrams allow him to combo enemies multiple times.

-Bosses are fought with teamwork as well.
-They must be weakened first before they can be easily defeated.
-Once a boss is defeated, the Waves you've rescued will free a Great Wave and change the current season to its rightful state.

-The four worlds of Garnia are:
Foresina
Emperia
Shadoria
Celesina

-The four races of Garnia are:
Huma- (Humans)
Celesta- (Angels)
Denva- (Demons)
Besta- (Animals)

-The hub (where you will warp to the different continent areas) is Rudenia, the Season Haven. A portal will teleport you to the selected . Defeating an area's boss will give you access to the other continents.

-There will be a store in every continent run by a boy named Hakari.
-He sells energy drinks and energy bars
-Buy items with gale. You will find these golden coins throughout levels and in treasure chests.

The Characters:
As said before, each character is different:
-Autumn Hero Tadd wields a hammer, the Autumn Mallet. He runs at a regular speed. His Autumn Mallet can easily pound enemies into the ground. He can smash down obstacles that need smashing and is good at it too. Tadd is a well-rounded character.

-Spring Hero Gladis wields the Spring Eagle, a bow with unlimited arrows that can attack enemies and strike targets from long distances. She doesn't walk, but hovers a bit off ground. Using her wings, she can fly for a fair amount of time.

-Winter Hero Fridgy wields Winter Rings, two ice chakrams. He is a fast runner and is quick with attacking using his chakrams. Fridgy is the best combo-attacker on the team.

-Summer Hero Jenene wields the Summer Buster, a giant double-bladed sword. She is the slowest member on the team and is the slowest at attacking. But her sword strikes hit hard and tough. She's strong enough to knock down a lot of obstacles in her path. Jenene can fly as well but ,with her Summer Buster in hand, only for a short time.

Enemies:
The enemies in the game are called Vibes. These monstrosities are to be defeated if you want to get to those poor Waves!
-Defeat them by depleting their life meters.

Basics:
-The gameplay is like Mario VS. Donkey Kong. in terms of level layout. Obstacles are placed about that you must clear out with various characters before reaching the trapped Wave.

NOTE: "We urgently need help. A few have actually offered to help but have either gone missing without a trace or were suddenly too busy to help. A pixel artist is all we need."

Most likely insignificant, but if you add the term "chakram" into the game to refer to Fridgy's weapons, it would somewhat be incorrect.

Chakrams are meant to be used for throwing. You're probably trying to think of Wind and Fire wheels (larger than a chakram, and is meant for actual melee combat), but obviously, the name's a bit long and might not make sense if his element has nothing to do with wind or fire.

I think the word "Rings" would suffice to refer to Fridgy's weapon. Or Ring Blades, but then that makes me think of Tira from Soul Calibur, who weilds a large hula loop-esque weapon (though she doesn't use it like a hula loop, as far as I'm concerned).

It's obviously not going to ruin the entire game, but just clarifying.

I'd help as a pixel artist (maybe programmer if I learned Python quick enough), but I have my own project to worry about.

I'll help, but am i the only spriter? I hate be the only spriter.

I'm not the best spriter but if you show me what you need I guess I could give it a try. However, it would be better if you had other spriters too because I know I can't sprite an entire game, but once again I cold give it a shot.

GFLK offered to help.

Oh, nvm then I guess.

You can still help with spriting.

True! Can I see some samples?

About this:


This is what he's done so far.

Yes.

YES

YES

Perfect! These are amazing!

Two things:

1. Come on MSN, dammit!

2. He said he PMed you. Did he? If so what did he ask and what did you say?

Woah, those are great! Good luck then guys.

Hey, you can join in too!

Uh, dude, i offered to.

Uhh...okay, both of you I guess?

But can I see sample sprites from you guys? Anything you previously sprited?

If you need more, just ask.
