This is a continuation of Rapstar 1 which is not available in English. So , i would like to tell you first game's story first. Feminem, was an amateur MC and decided to join a rap contest and won it. As a reward, he was made a rap album. First game ends here. After weeks, album sales didn't meet his expectations. His friend Ziyan, tries to convince him to join another rap contest. But Feminem is undediced about it. Additionally, he doesn't like his nickname and wants to change it. We will see whether he will find himself a new nickname and join a rap contest or not. The game will be finish on 2009. It is a classic Sierra style adventure.

"Feminem" LOL When I read that I thought the main character was a girl! LOL

Sounds interesting though.

The graphics remind me of a mix up between South Park and Call of Duty 4 for some reason. Could be interesting though, can't wait for more news

I think its a mix up between south park and google sketch up. I dont know what makes you say CoD4 lol. But either way, it seems to work nicely. Looking forward to this.

Hi, i am sorry i didn't give any details about the graphics in the main message. Characters made with South Park Studio, available at. www.sp-studio.de. you can easily create South Park characters in the site. Those backgrounds first rendered in 3d and made some cartoon effects but i really didn't like the result because colors were too distorted as you can see. So, i touched the backgrounds and added some hand-drawings. The final result is above

Nice backgrounds. They look a a lot better than the first ones.

Looking forward to this game. Any info on the gameplay?

It has a classic sierra style gameplay. Mouse middle or right button will cycle icons. Talking about characters' moves, they walk like South Park characters do. I mean they walk by looking at the screen and a bit shaking

At least i remember South Park chars walk like that

I don't think puzzles will be too difficult. However, i can say most of the puzzles is going to be about hiphop things. And i hope you will get rid of my terrible English this time. My friend who is an English teacher is going to translate the game

I hope there's going to be a serious amount of gangsta biatches in the game.

Hi guys, i just finished the Turkish version. I said my English teacher friend was going to translate the game but it didn't worked. So, i have to translate whole game by myself. You know my English is not very well, so when i finish translation, i will need people for proof reading.

There is one more thing i've been thinking desperately. There are some rap battles in the game and their rhymes were designed for Turkish language. I wonder if they would stay rhymed when they are translated to English. Person who makes proof reading the game must handle it and i am not sure if he/she can do it. It is complicated situation.

What do you think ? Should i make it translated to a Turkish guy speaks perfect English or should i just translate it and someone proof reading ? I'm too confused ...

You can translate it and then ask a person who can rhyme (and better yet rap) to proof read it for you.

You're saying that i need a rapper ?

I'm saying a poet is good enough.

proximity · Mon 31/12/2007 09:20:36

Thanks. I will remember that when i look for a proof reader.

Hope the jokes are not South Park-styled. I've never liked that kind of humor.

proximity · Mon 07/01/2008 10:24:56

Jokes are definitely not South Park styled but i can't say what style are they. You will decide it after it is available in English.
