Now that I know that at least one person or group of people is working on a fangame and talking about it here on YC, I feel safe to post the news about a fangame project I have been working on over the past few months.. however, it is a Sonic fangame and not a Yoshi/Nintendo one, so please dont kill me! *Cowers*
Ahem.. anyways, like I said, it's a Sonic fangame, by the name of "Chaos Calibur" (no, NOT Soul Calibur <_< ) and the storyline (still working on it) is about this ancient blade that is cursed with powers that have a link with the Chaos Emeralds (hence the name Chaos Calibur). The game will play like a standard Sonic platformer (more focused on looking like the more recent generation of Sonic, so it will look more like the Sonic Advance titles). Chaos Calibur features five playable characters: Sonic, Tails and Knuckles being the usual suspects. Sonic Advance fans may suspect the other two would be Cream and Amy, but as a matter of fact I kicked both of them out in favor of two "Dark" characters, Shadow and Rouge.
Progress with coding the game is going fine so far, though I could had done a whole lot more if it werent for the school and exams that held me back over the last couple of months >_< But now that it's summer I have free time to code on it more. At the moment I am still coding the game engine, and I've only done some of Sonic's portion of it so far, but it's looking promising (I might post a small early engine test demonstration soon enough).
I have also made the game title screen, menu screen and characters selection screen for the game.. it might change or alter as the project progresses but for now this is how they are:
Title Screen
Game Menu Screen
Character Selection Screen
Just a few notes on the pictures; first, I know the theme looks dark or even "gothic", as some of my friends have criticized, but that's because the game actually has a plot and thus must have a theme to go with it, and it is themed around the blade as mentioned earlier. Also note that "Melee Kirby" shown on the titlescreen picture is me. I am known as Melee Kirby in various online places, but here at Yoshi's Corner, I'm Jelly Belly. ;D
Whew.. I've typed a lot
I actually have more news and stuff to say but I'll post them sooner or later in this thread. For now, hope you like the news, and if you're interested in helping me in any way, please contact me on AIM/MSN or by private messaging me!
