bmp.. not a good idea

Secret Fawful · Sun 18/07/2004 22:10:54

looks good ... but i think the pic should be in jpg format 8)

Hang on. Wait. Stop. Rewind.

Your design, besides that it is in BMP format, is just Zooty's sprite. The very same one he posted, pretty much. Except with a head on it.

Also your Manny Face...It's good and all, but I don't think it captures Manny.

Sylpher · Sun 18/07/2004 23:50:55

Someone was doing this exact same idea awhile ago.. I wonder what happend to it.

(chuckle)

I have not played Grim Fandango (gasp!) but I happen to like the faces as well. I assume that there's some reason he needs to redeem himself later, so perhaps give him a more "honest Pete" look to him, rather than simply the wholesome grin he has now.

Think Andy Garcia.

How about not doing a grim fandango 2!!!

The game had a solid ending... no need for a sequel.

I could be wrong, but did we ever find out why Manny was stuck working at the DOD in the first place? And as far as I remember we find out absolutely nothing about his life. I keep trying to replay it, but it crashes all the time on xp.

They are ,my sprites. Gasp! I can identify the shoes sir! don't worry about it. i did it to be used.. I don't care what for. I like the face but as has been said before, its not manny

DanClarke · Mon 19/07/2004 19:26:56

i dont think its the graphics that are so much a problem, its the actual plot and script you'll struggle to even touch. Grim Fandangos strongest point was the story, and the way it was told. You'd have to have some serious talent to even come close to that.

DanClarke · Mon 19/07/2004 19:28:11

also, after seeing your sprites, i dont think manny's teeth have to be exposed when he was alive, as chances are he had lips to cover them.

^
Good point.

I always wondered, why did Manny, (and Eva, Dom, and Copal for that matter), take a job at the DOD instead of going to Heaven?

It may have been explained somewhere in-game, I forget.

Sluggo · Tue 20/07/2004 00:09:35

Well they had to take those jobs because they apparently did something bad in life that prevented them from going to the 9th underworld (not really heaven, since there's no hell as far as I know). What they did though is beyond me.

Look, I'm asking you bloodnose, don't make a GF sequel.
It's nothing against you, it's just that because I believe that even if you take the forum's most talented scripter, most talented artist, most talented coder, most talented musicman, most talented storyboarder, you won't get something even close to what GF was.
Yes I know it's just a fan-game, but I really don't want there to be a sequel, I'd rather leave it my imagination ...
So I ask you again, PLEASE don't make a GF sequel ...

Sam. · Tue 20/07/2004 07:47:15

agreed. I presume this is your first AGS project? Almost every single newbie thinks "I'm gonna make the ultimate (MI, GF, FT, Indy, DOTT) Sequel and people are gonna praise me forever more". I did. But it just doesn't work. UNless you have a large skilled team of experienced agsers (eg. foy) then your chances of success are minimal. Come up woith your own plot and characters. Your art is good and you could show it off better in your own setting. GF was one of my all time favourite games with a great ending. DOn't ruin it for everyone.

Kweepa · Tue 20/07/2004 14:53:38

If you don't want to play a Grim sequel, then don't. Problem solved.
Bloodnose, do whatever you want - it'll be a learning experience

Hollister Man · Tue 20/07/2004 17:27:25

Besides, sounds like he wants to do a prequel.

If its a good idea, it will survive. If its a bad idea, it'll die like Royal Quest. (hopefully)

Mr Flibble · Tue 20/07/2004 18:21:42

Please.
No sequel. No prequel.
Because if you make it, I'll have to play it, but I won't want to.

GF was...elegant. NO fangamer could ever hope to capture that.

Layabout · Tue 20/07/2004 18:34:28

Don't worry there is only about a .0001% chance of him actually doing it...

Like how many announcements of games do we have here and how many get finished...

Mr Flibble · Tue 20/07/2004 19:51:53

I forgot...god bless Delusions of Grandeur.

I hear you man, but if you don't want...... don't play it. If he makes it, maybe it'll make him happy. I mean no one HAS to play any game right.

That said, yeah making a GF sequel........ WHEW!!!! GOOD F'N LUCK.
