A new idea (?): AGS-made TV series

[Czar]

Yeah, the KR heads (Robert Redford style) would be cool.
And, I dont know i always thought of the bar as the Cheers one where everyone comes, but when I think of Central Perk, it has the more cozy sofa and chairs...

[Bluke4x4]

Robert Redford style heads would be cool. But then, everyone in the show who hadn't put in a picture would have to, and people might not want to show their picture.  

And Os Ultimo Quao Queijo ^_^: I deleted my annoying part of my signature and replaced it with a corny punchline. Practically the same.

[Evil]

If they dont want to use their heads then they dont want to. The only one I can think of that would object would be Snake. But he could always be a phantom, like a caped shadow.

[LordHart]

Okay, so I'll change Phil into Phil Reed. evil, I'll come up with some other role for you though. If I write anymore, I'll add you in. Any idea about what you would the character to be like?

[TerranRich]

Hey, how about instead of just a plain bar, this could be some sort of lounge, with different areas, like some large booths for dining, the bar area, a "Members' Only" area, the bathrooms, etc. It could also have a dark atmosphere. Check out the image in http://www.script-o-rama.com/snazzy/dircut.html and tell me that's not the perfect place for AGSers to hang out. Just add a bar and you're all set.

I don't like the photo-heads, they make the whole thing look kinda lazy...

Doing character animations is really not that hard; It's probably easier than trying to track down all the photos (especially if you want them to be the same size n' all), and it means you can add in loads more expressions..

If everyone really wants them, then okay, put them in, but only 3 people really responded, and they prob'bly haven't seen how badly Angela Anaconda messed up that idea ^_^

Terran : That's damn cool. I think having a little more light would be better, but that's a neat style..

I think photo heads are just funnier  Also, it would be a lot easier to identify the characters, especially if they change clothes from episode to episode.  I'd just imagine it would be easier to create obviously identifiable characters from photo heads than to pixel paint every head and make sure it's both completely unique and still representative of the source photo.

do you need a rock n roll goon too?  :

Not in my opinion...
4 views, all with talking animations is hard enough, but when you add in expressions it becomes almost impossible.
And while it may be funnier the first time you see it, it becomes less so very quickly. And what about characters like the dog, or Kikme? We won't be able to get talking views for them, making it seem very discontinued artistically. And making pixel drawings representetive is not hard, or it wouldn't be done effectively in 75% of Adventure games...

[LGM]

I would take the project, and do it in flash. (Twould be lots easier) But.. I've been so busy with school and such, I wouldn't have time..

And I already am behind on recording lines for BTS.. But anyways, I think Evil should be ONE of the project leaders (There can be more than one.)

But I really like this idea and we should get preliminary work started. So who wants to break the ice?

[Evil]

Alkaline: The reason Angela Anaconda looked bad was because of the body animations. It was way cartoony, the all moved on hinges. They walked like paper people with two prong fasteners holding them together.

I'd go with the head idea 100% just keep them realtivily preportional.

Edit: I'll start characters. Anyone that wants to be used please send in front and side views so I could maybe start some ideas. Do not email them to me. Post them here or pm them to me.

[remixor]

Evil: Well, the only pic I have of myself is my avatar pic.  I'll see if I can bum a digital camera off someone to take a couple more.

[Czar]

i think it would be even more cool if we had only only 3 ways of view front side left and right(smthn like my avatar), and the back view...actually i dont think that would work...
anyway, the photo heads is a good and funny idea, and its is not an imperative that the face must be yours (remember Kenny Rogers - McGyver...)

[Matt Brown]

Evil, I want in. Would any of teh three pictures I posed in the show your pic thread work as front views? what size you need?

edit

BTW, in Granville Cronciles, You find back, side and front views

[DragonRose]

i think it would be even more cool if we had only only 3 ways of view front side left and right(smthn like my avatar),

But your avatar is Alf! How is that a three way view?

I'll see if I can get some pictures of me. I'm not sure if I've got a side view at all.

[Czar]

Hey, i got another idea for the bar, that could easily be modified.
(damn these ideas keep popping in my head by accident)

I knew it. I knew this project would die off quickly. Most group projects do.

What we should do is get another separate forum for this project, like a bunch of us did with By the Sword. We should assemble an official team, have a list we can add on to, to determine who's doing what, where, with who, and how.

Eh?

[Evil]

I sign up for art and animation.

[|Alky|]

Well, I'd happily do animation, but not the kind you're planning..
So I'll just sulk ^_^

Actually, I could probably do  some of the actual scripting. It would be one big cutscene, right?

[Evil]

Pretty much one big cut scene, but with some intros and long pauses. Thats probably something we should look into, a pause option. Can we do that? I dont know anything about scripting. About all I can do is NewRoomEx and the majority of the time I forget the semi-colon.
