I have always wanted to make a strategy game but I cant do programming very well and there isnt any strategy game makers out there. So I came up with an idea to make a Strategy game using AGS. I havent worked everything out yet so I dont even know for sure if this is even possible but what I'm thinking of doing is you can only use one guy at a time by switching between characters. You will only be able to make like 10 guys so you wont have to keep track of an entire army of characters. The thing I always thought would be neat is instead of making knight, peasants, and everyone else in separate buildings you will only have one building that makes towns people. Lets say you want a person to be a miner you would have them use a pickaxe (which would be in their inventory to start out with) on some gold. That way if you would run out of gold you could then make that person a knight or something. Again I dont even know if this is possible but I'm going to try. I have only made the front walk cycle so far. If anyone want to see if they can do a better job at it I would like to see it or if anyone wants to try animating any of the other positions they could it would save me a lot of time LOL. (shutters at the fact that he actually typed LOL)



this is what the game might look like.

I think they look good without faces and even if I wanted to give them faces they are to small to put faces on without having them look like aliens (the kind from space not another country). What do you think of this side view walk cycle?

Darth Mandarb: Ya! Customization rocks! Whoo!

I made a quick walk cycle what do you think? I know its kind of choppy but its really small so lay off.

I drew this with ms paint when I was bored one day. I might do something with it some day in like an Rpg adventure type game. Im going to draw a lot more armor and clothes because I think one of the most fun aspect of a game is being able to customize as much stuff as possible and if I would make this into a game I want to include a lot of customizable stuff. Tell me what you think of it or what I should change or... well you know what to do.

enlarged to show detail

Are you planning on putting the words in his teeth? It just looks like that because the teeth are basically blank.

I just saw Ginnys post and he also thought the teeth is were the words go. Maybe thats a sign... or maybe I just have to learn to read through what other people alread said before I post...no that cant be it. Its got to be a sign.

Big News! I have decided to make a Flash Cartoon with these characters instead of a game. I might make a game sometime. With my ability to make hilarious characters and copy classic stories like some people go on a long road trip and get mad at each other or something with aliens. It will be the single greatest cartoon ever!
PS: have any of you ever seen that web site www.homestarrunner.com, it is great.

I made some changes to make him look less like a robot. what do you think?

Ive made some quick walk cycles and wanted to know what people think of them. I wanted them to be pretty simple but I may have made the scientists walk cycle a little to simple.

Thanks everyone on the c&c. I was going to make the floor a yellowish colored carpet but I couldnt find the right color yellow that didnt hurt my eyes.
Czar: Only the Japanese version of Transformers and the crappy new Transformers is manga. I watched the 1980's American version. Eighties TV rocks!!! (Even though im only 18 and was born in 1986.)

Am I the only one who cant tell what that gray thing in the middle is. It kind of looks like a fountain. Is it a fountain? Because it looks like a fountain....Its a fountain right? Lets just say it is a fountain. Then it should look rounder and more.... fountain like. Right now it has no depth.

I made some changes. The floor still looks a little plain but what are you going to do.  I also changed the color of the thumbnail to white instead of pink. It still doesnt look quite right though. The room is supposed to look kind of ugly so no comments on the colors looking bad. It was a little strange though on trying to make the room look ugly I ended up making it look a little to good. Everything just looks so neat and organized. But I will probably change some stuff around before im finished. I almost forgot isnt that the best looking light switch you have ever seen. ISNT IT!?! I just looked at my post and realized that you cant really see the detail in the light switch that well. But trust me in Flash it looks great.

I will make a VP to change the perspective. Im also going to make the room a lot more interesting with light switches, lamps, chairs, posters and such.
I may have overreacted about the manga thing. I might consider removing Dan Clark from my people I hate list, but not Bowie! I hate him so much! I only hate manga because thats all I ever see on TV. They never show anything else, manga has taken over! They need to go back to the good old days with good cartoons like GI Joe, Transformers, Duck Tails, and Gummy Bears. I just feel sorry that the kids of today have to watch shows like pokemon and fighting futons.

Maybe its just my monitor but on the sprite facing forwards in brown its hard to see his legs. I would make his legs a darker brown color.

DanClarke: I just saw your post and thanks for the help with the door. I was going to....whats that say...m..a..n..g..a..looking...MANGA LOOKING!!!!! How dare you say he is manga looking! Does he have blue spiky hair NO! Does he have a ridiculously big mouth NO! Does he have giant mechanical boots NO! AHHHHHH! I hate manga so much! Dan Clark, just for that im taking back my thanks and putting you on my people I hate list.
People I Hate:
1.David Bowie
2.Michael Bolten
3.Oprah Winfrey
4.DAN CLARK

Iron Pirate: thank, his buttons ARE wacky arent they! Four round black buttons intermingling on one form fitting science coat. THATS CRAZY!

I found something wrong with the background after I posted it. I moved the wall in the back room back within the doorway but forgot to move it back within the window. Boy is my face red!

Oh ya my avatar. He isnt suppose to be anything hes just some guy with a cape and really white skin.

I made this background in flash today and I want to know if it is in perspective. I havent put anything in the room except for two characters to see how big I needed to make the doors. The colors will probably change to something darker. I basically just want to know if the room itself looks ok. And just incase your wondering the character on the left is a giant thumb or big toe I havent made up my mind.


PS: I made this background in Flash but saved it in image ready. Is there anyway to either upload it into the sight strait from Flash or make it look less pixely when I save it to a different program?
pps: I finally made an avatar. You like.?

I Like: the head and the small cowboy boots.
Dislikes: The shirt looks flat. Put some more shading in the shirt and I dont really like the checkered look. I would fix HIS left hand. It looks kind of like a tentacle. You could put some more shading in the belt to make it look rounded. And last I would make the outline of his pants a little lighter. Other than that it looks really good!

I want C&C on the characters themselves more than the drawings. The drawings could change because they arent really similar in style to my other characters.

The one on the left is Candy Rapper. He is a famous rap singer who raps out the ingredients on the back of various candy products. "Yo Candy does that contain peanut tracings!" "Yo man you know it made in the same factory as peanut M&Ms!"
The man on the right is a small fireman. Hes not called that because of his size its because he only fights small fires like trash can fires or a cigarette thats not completely out. He believes that only when you dedicate yourself to one size fire can you truly take on that fire with full force. Its like doctors who specialize in certain fields such as brain surgery. You wouldnt want a doctor who knows a little about a lot of different procedures doing a face transplant on you, you would wont a specialist, right?

By the way I changed my name from morgan to MEGATRON.

Is this better.

There is one more frame in his front arm moving back than his front arm moving forword. Can anyone tell by looking at it?

I have done some changes to the walk cycle and I made it bigger for better viewing pleasure.
