I'll play the villain. I'll try to turn the world into a world of nekos!

[shmibs]

i was thinking something like Baron Samedi

and a tribe of 'savages' would work, but there are plenty of other possibilities.

[Freyaday]

I wanna be the villain.
Please?

Dionysus just made some sprites that could be used for talking animations. they are a little large, but i like them.
*note, i'm only posting these because his post count isn't high enough to do so yet.

[Dionysus]

As the above would suggest, I am willing to do sprites for this game. Those particular sprites are doubled in actual size to make it a little clearer on the forum. The sprites are, as follows, a sort of pirate deck-hand, an unspecified old man, the chef, and two versions of Samedi, skeletal and paint. Doubtless, these are not final versions, but they can sort of give you an idea of what I have in mind.

[shmibs]

dino made a few more sprites. people should try making there own main character sprites with the generic base.

[chattahippie]

I like these... good job!
I haven't started making any tiles yet, but i have a feeling that dionysus's are waaaaay better than mine would be.
If there is anything that needs to be done, I can try to do it, but no guarantees about it actually working

(I prefer BASIC over Axe, but this is a great place to learn to use it better )

I have an idea that you guys may like...
I was thinking that in addition to the Axe and ASM programmers, at some point, the Nspire, Casio, and 68k programmers could also work on porting this game to their respective calculators.
I personally would love to see this game on the Nspire, and would be happy to help code for it if we were to do that.
What do you guys think?

[shmibs]

well, when and if there is actually something to port, why not?

[Geekboy1011]

If you guys start hammering out the specs for the battle engine and such like in posts. and i can find someone else to help(as in im not the only coder >.<)  we can get working on that probably using test sprites lol

We could simultaneously develop a z80 and a C version (for nspire, 68k, and casio (and possibly even HP if someone wants to port to that)), with the same features. I would be glad to help with the C version. (and the z80 version now that I am learning asm) Is this going to be in Axe or ASM?

[shmibs]

ok, i did a bit of spriting for the tilemap. here are beachy things and the front half of a crashed ship.

EDIT: feel free to add tiles to the tilemap.

DOUBLE EDIT: i added in an a pic for an airship taking off 'cutscene' the bottom is still empty, though, because i'm not sure what to make it taking off from. oh, and three colour skies are difficult...

[Geekboy1011]

Is this going to be in Axe or ASM?

i believe we might be able to do both as long as all the asm parts are developed as axioms or can be injeccted into the code with asm() or something

not to familiar with axe any more though so....

[LincolnB]

I really like the idea of using axioms and writing in axe. I am more than willing to program in Axe as I'm more or less experienced with it, but I don't know ASM, so no help from me there.

[shmibs]

yes, asm and axe work quite nicely together.

anyways, here are a few more sprite updates. a much more complete beach tileset, a demo map, and an overworld character that dino made.
