Bluecup

LordHart · Wed 25/02/2004 02:16:37

Update 12/5/2004
I've started work on a Bluecup Bible, so that when someone wants to work on a script, it'll have details about each character, their personalities and such, what kind of animations they have and also detail about each story that has been written and any major events which can be mentioned in future episodes to create a consistent timeline. Once both it and the first episode are completed, I will release it and a template of Bluecup so that people will be able to create their own episodes...

Though, with any episodes that are written by other people, I will be acting as a sort of Executive Producer and the episodes must go through me before you start work on them, so that I'll be able to update the Bible and also contact the people that do any of the character artwork to do any new animations as required by the script, and/or new characters.

Update 4/5/2004
Completed a placeholder intro sequence that is now easy to modify to add or remove people from the credits according to each episode. Cleaned up a heap of code which was just a hassle to do each time, so I've made them into functions... like opening and closing the front door now use openDoor(); and closeDoor(); respectively...

The background is now complete, apart from a few little things like beer bottles on the wall, but they can be added later using objects...

The Bluecup Bar as of 4/5/2004

================================

The main characters are CJ, m0ds, Remixor, terranRICH, Scummbuddy, Helm, Yufster, Alkaline, Rodekill, and LGM... and there may also be other members of the community that will be in the series in future episodes.

I have written 4 episodes of this quasi-television/ags series, and Bluke4x4 has written one episode as well. Anyone is allowed to write a script for a future episode, but the plot must stay consistent with the other episodes.

All scripting is being done by me, as well as backgrounds. If you would like to create an episode in the future using a script that I've made, I might release a template as well, to make it a matter of just scripting the sequences in the episode.

Also will be looking into having a voicepack for each episode. So if anybody wants to do voices for the characters, either the people themselves, or other members of the board, then just reply here.

If you are interested, you can download the scripts for each episode from http://www.tdrdesign.net/downloads/bluecupscripts.zip which has the first 4 in it, as RTF files which I am sure can be opened with any word processing program like Word.

Only in America.

Looks like dd/mm to me

Wheeee!!! Awesome!

If you need a pic of me, I have several in the style of the one at www.rodekill.com/spycam.htm

m0ds · Wed 25/02/2004 14:29:57

If you need any voice acting or music, you know how to PM me

Sounds like a great erm... show? I'm looking forward to it!

LGM · Wed 25/02/2004 14:33:03

I can voice myself..

Call meh

Nacho · Wed 25/02/2004 14:36:29

I have two sprites of CJ and M0ds, totally animated and in a MI style, I think they could fit in there! Of sure, I want to appear!!!

m0ds · Wed 25/02/2004 16:31:25

[offtopic] Nachorette, is there a demo of your MI game yet? [/offtopic]

On topic. Why is the first of the three frames empty? :o Shouldn't CJ be in it.

Vel · Wed 25/02/2004 16:34:39

Hey Ultimo, I could send you the sprite of myself I made for "recess".

LordHart · Wed 25/02/2004 16:59:57

Well m0ds, CJ is the owner/bartender of Bluecup. It'd be conceited of him to have himself on a wall with other great AGS game characters.

Bluke4x4: Stage? You mean for Phils stage diving... he does it off the ground, because there is no stage, and he is also insane.

Nacho · Wed 25/02/2004 17:01:33

Off topic: M0ds... Ask Barcik

Dunno where he is! :'(

TerranRich · Wed 25/02/2004 19:34:51

I can voice me too. I can also do several other characters if need be.

Nine Toes · Wed 25/02/2004 20:57:08

I suppose I could take a crack at doing some art for you, Ultimo... although, I'm not sure it's going to turn out the greatest.

I'm having a little trouble downloading the script... I get an error message.

rodekill · Wed 25/02/2004 21:48:33

Awsome.
Let me know if you need any nude reference pics of me. I always keep some lying around for occasions like this.

Scummbuddy · Wed 25/02/2004 21:56:28

Haha.

I too can voice myself, when neccesary, but you'll have to sign all these lengthy release forms.

m0ds · Wed 25/02/2004 23:49:20

LOL Rodekill is in it.

Woot!

And if you need any shouty or absurd sounds let me know too.

I posted this because this shot is needed for my script of an episode.
I tried to match the front as close as possible to Inkoddi's revised exterior. The only reason this looks horrible is because it's a rushed job. Oh, and it's unfinished. But I really don't think I can finish some of it because I don't know how Os Ultimo did all that texturing. And I think the floor should be tile (Helm pops out of one in my script) but if it can't be changed, I'll probably have him come from behind a picture. I'll be posting many more shots, and my script,(which I think I'll have to just post it here, because I can't figure out how to put text on a image host type thing).
Oh wait, there's no door back there.

Dr. Jekyll?~MR. HYDE!: If you can do them, then that'd be great. Hell, they dont even have to look good. Plus, if anyone does provide character art, they dont even have to match the other styles, kinda like RON, not all of them have the same style and they work nicely together.

I dont know why you cant download the zip file, plus, it shouldn't be timing out since its about 15k. If you cant download it, I'll put the stuff on a website to read or something.

Bluke4x4: If you could send me the file of the script through email, then I could put it on my freewebs account where the other bluecup ones are.

Also, the way I did the texturing was by mostly using some of the natural brushes in Photoshop. I then adjusted the contrast, saturation and brightness until i got the colour I wanted. The only photoshop filter used was the grain filter which was to do the carpet and the cement wall outside the front door.

as for character art, you can use these goodies, made mainly by helm, from yonks ago on the condition that VB isn't on tap there.
http://www.sylpher.com/novomestro/stuff/Mittens.zip

from memory there may be mods, eric, helm, cj, myself, rode, scid, kyriakos [butcher], Ionios and a few others you may not know like monkeyspank, motive, roy.

This was for a Mittens game that was planned before there was an actual mittens, so they're ooold.

and I want a role. Gimme gimme gimme.

And call it's Jones' Crosstime Saloon.
