[ CFP conference over! ], Mushroom Patrol: Christmas Boost!

I opened the room in the IRC. "#cfp"
Join now, as soon as enough people show up, we'll start.


First of all I apologize for seemingly disappearing after the NCFC, but that was when my first university semester started and so I couldn't do much for it.
Also, I thought it would be a good idea for you guys to relax for some time after we've hasted to get stuff ready for the NCFC.


Let's do a quick resumé of the project so far:
-> we have a solid engine
-> we have won an MFGG AWARD 2008 for the best graphics in a fangame
-> we have set up an NCFC booth


So, who of you guys is up for getting life into this again?

So let's continue!
The last thing we left with was the discussion of the world map setup.
For this, I had planned a direct conversation with the staff on the IRC chat, as usual when we have something big to discuss.
The World Map layout will determine a load of our spriters' work, so I want that to be settled soon.

My suggestions are to either do this on Saturday or on Sunday in the afternoon (American timezones).

Please take this occasion to notify us of your existance so we can continue the work on this project.
If you have not helped on the CFP before, but would like to do that now, you're free to join.


I hope to meet you guys in the IRC on the weekend!

PS: Questions are also welcome.

Awww, I want to help but I don't think there's anything I could do.

I'd like to help, but I'm not a very good spriter. I can program some simple stuff, and I consider myself a pretty good drawing artist. But that's all.

Our engine is designed so people with low programming skill in GM can also help by using existing things to create new enemies and such.

As for drawing: Concept Art is always welcome.

Anything you need drawn?

Definitely some environments when we have agreed on the world layout.

I've thought about importing some NSM3 levels into this game. It would be big shame if all those +50 levels go to waste (yes, this means that NSM3 is canned).

Yeah, why not. When we finally go to level design, we'll gladly take your levels, as long as you modify them so they match with the rest of the game.

I can help with some objects!

I can help with some coding as well, and a bit of spriting.

I prefer spriters, tbh, unless you're really good in coding or are ok with being limited to not coding things, but putting existing code together.
We have a system with which you can create enemies and other objects by simply copy-pasting existing objects and editing the creation-event.
So if you're ok with that or are a GM master, then you can help with the engine. But no free-form coding otherwise.

I really want to help but I am going out with my family for a week on sunday.
I don't know if I can do anything but if I can I will try to get on saturday and see what I can do.

Still willing to manage this with you guys

I'm much more busier with art projects these days so saturday is a great idea

oh noes

Ok, so the majority of people seems to be for Saturday.
Stay tuned, I will be on in the night (which is the afternoon for you american guys). I will not go and set up a certain date for this, instead I'll do it like last time and just gather anyone who is around at a certain time and invite them personally.

I hope you're ok with that, because last time I tried to have a set date, but nobody came until 2 hours later.

I'll try for some programming/spriting if you can make some expansions to the engine.

Although we still need W&WL sprites, which are beyond me.

Oh, and a question: What's this "IRC" thing?

Crud. I dont think I can actually do this because the IRC eats up my bandwidth. Unless there is no spam, then I'll be good.

lol
