Slime Salad

Indeedy Looking forward to this.

I feel like scripting something. Give me something weird and quirky to script, mon capitan.

Welcome back!

I kinda like the farm thing. Has potential to be a good serious (well, relatively serious) game. Though a silly game could work too if people want to go in that direction.

Heh, if we're going with toony though, my art style for tiles might be out as I tend to be more dark and gritty. I can give bright and happy a go though. Either way, I can still do scripting. Though with Spoony on board, he might be a better choice for script-dude than me.

I can contribute tiles, though I'm not sure if my style would work well with the theme. I can do scripting as well I suppose.

I'd also like to know, what are you going to be doing, Chronoboy?

I am tempted to write a world generator... One where you can create a world, and then copy the appropriate files into your .rpgdir to have a base overworld map to work with. Hmm... I'm more than tempted, I'll definitely be making this. But not right now, some time in the future perhaps.

I've played around with Autorealm in the past, and it's a pretty nifty program. Though if I recall correctly, once you start getting a bunch of different things (trees, cities, mountains, whatever) on the map, it gets to be unbearably slow. Then again, that was years ago, so things may have changed ...

Ah, so you're not going to be generating it using the OHR? Well, there's donjon, there are a lot of different generators there. Though it might not be quite what you're looking for. Still, I've found it to be suitable enough for most purposes.

Will the maps always be random? Or do you want a single static map that's the same for all games?

It'd be interesting if you introduced some sort of heraldic stuff on his shield. "Bar sinister" is also a heraldic term for a bar going from the bottom left to the top right of the shield. Useless information number 732, hehe. As for the orcs, I'm not sure I like the eyes. It looks like th...

Not for the 8-bit contest, but here it is anywho. http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r552/ld2i/new_sprites_sampler_zps203aad74.gif Old original sprites are on the left, new hero sprites are on the right. Some still need tweaking and fixing (Belor the barbarian for one, his hair acts weird) and some...

Probably backstory and lore. I love crafting the entire world, all the people and cultures to populate it, the history, the politics, etc... World-building pretty much. After that, figuring out how that translates into game-elements.

That's pretty much it I suppose. Alternatively:

I find using a compose key to be the most useful. Makes it so you don't have to remember all of those codes and whatnot. It's mostly intuitive.
