The NSM RPG

What type of program is this? Does it need to be installed?

@k-night Sux D:
@ragster Feel free to come with some opinions and ideas at least
@jxjxjx It's a simple game-maker program. You can download it from Yoyo's site (or what they are called, search for Gamemaker 8.1, *cough*tpb for full version*cough*)

I can be a tester if you like! The problem is that I only have lite

[Zunawe]

You don't need it to test. You can create a stand-alone executable in it, and the testers can use that if needed. Even then the lite version can run paid version games. They just can't use the paid features in the builder.

K-NiGhT, where are you with the story percentage-wise?

Other people, I'm still waiting on concept art. And Dropbox emails. I believe I have three or four emails right now.

This is starting to slow down, so I'm thinking that we should start the items.

Artists, if you feel like making sprites of simple things like grass or houses, go ahead and talk to each other about that. Writers, wait for K-NiGhT's story and then you guys can edit it as you need.

If you can think of anything that you can do to keep this moving go ahead and post what it is you're doing and start. Just make sure it isn't anything that we should all be contributing to.

[K-NiGhT]

About 10% :/ it's gonna be a bit

[Zunawe]

Okay. Just wondering. Somebody could probably help you if you sent them a skeleton, but it's up to you.

[K-NiGhT]

I can do that. I've been really busy.

[SuperFireKirby]

What is the POV for the game? Top-down, side-scroll, what? Because I would like to start making sprites. Further more, how should things look? Nice and clean, or pixely?

[K-NiGhT]

Top down. And I think we're trying to go in the style of Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald.

[fabbemannen]

So, that example-project that we got through dropbox, should we used those sizes on the tiles? If I'm going to start doing things, I want to know before starting.
Someone do some sprites so the rest of us can catch on. I would prefer a pretty small style on the pixels (kinda like pokemon uses their sprites)

[Zunawe]

^That was just a basic engine for programming. I was going to leave the size up to the artists. For now, try 16x16 or 32x32, and then if it's decided to go bigger, resize it and round edges.

[fabbemannen]

I'll try to get something started after a bikevacation I'm leaving on today. I don't feel like letting this project die just like that

[Zunawe]

I would hope it's not dying, just going slowly. If nobody feels like drawing stuff then the artists should go ahead and just make sprites. Decide what the visible features should be, and go. I don't want to wait forever on this.

Can you put my band in the game?!!?!?!?! That would be so COOL! We could play like random locations or something!
