The way I see it, we'll probably need a couple of dedicated/experienced programmers, a couple people to make sprites/tilemaps, and some storyline/level design people before we can really kick this off. Any volunteers? I volunteer to program in Axe.

im game for working on the battle engine in asm and other asm needy things lol

[AngelFish]

I just lost The Game.

Thanks Geekboy >.>

shmibs and dionysus, would you be willing to work on sprites and tilemaps? From what I've seen you guys are really good at that kind of stuff.

[Runer112]

Those tiles look great shmibs, but do we want to copy the graphics of Link's Awakening and/or other games? Personally, I think if Omnimaga is making it's own RPG, it should make its own graphics too.

@butts: we have been already, so yes? i can help on the axe side as well. tilemappers are easy enough for me to set up. we can both work on plot stuff as well.

EDIT: i was just going off of the zelda games because, as i've said before, they have my favourite sprites out of any game. if you would rather they be different, though, that's doable. this doesn't need to be some official omni rpg, though. i just thought it would be fun to work on something with other people, so i don't think it matters that much.

i would prefer to have like one more person other than me working on the battle engine if thats going to be in pure asm. as depending on how fancy you all want it it can turn into alot of work

[chattahippie]

I can help with axe if needed, but I don't know asm (yet), so sorry GeekBoy

[Geekboy1011]

not a problem im actually hoping someone more experianced than I jumps on the bandwagon because my experiance is still lacking
im learning as well xD

I can add two numbers, but that's about it

[Geekboy1011]

I've got a couple projects being worked on and one made just takes practice ^_^

still have no idea what you guys are actually expecting in the battle engine other than ys style correct?

[chattahippie]

Maybe some basic items (health potion, magic? potion, attack up) might be a nice addition to the system.

[Geekboy1011]

well items were kind of a given I think.

what version of ys do you suggest for a first time player? i actually have never played them......

and probably me being paranoidal but i like to have every thing written first before i start coding makes it easy to remember every thing

so so far we have
ys style fighting
items??

If you want an introduction to the Ys series, I would suggest some version of Ys 1. I've only played the DS remake of it, so I can't really comment on the older console versions, but from what I've seen, the NES has a slightly different story than the others.

Also, I thought we were using techs and magic as well. Perhaps some effect granting equipment too.
