Yoshi Game Contributions

[Leoshi]

Alright, time for a progress report. recently, I tried to test and decode the multitasking ability of the game. I succeeded without much difficulty. This is demonstrated below:




In those first two, you can see the character have moved, because I have specifically programmed their walking pathways. Yoshifrog, for example, is programmed to walk right and left along the north wall. Yesha's programmed to just wander around the place randomly.

Then, I tried to implement the capabilities of the text function. This also worked without much difficulty. You can see me talking to Yoshifrog and Yesha below:





There's my progress so far. Next, I'm going to try and program the battle system to display the enemies.

[anjilfan]

Ahhh!That's awsome leoshi!I can't wait to try the game!

[Tempest]

Awesome stuff! Maybe when they talk, you could display a headshot of them next to the text?

[anjilfan]

That would be cool!

[Leoshi]

I can try that, but that'd be alot more complicated. Once again, it was just a test run. As in, it's not done yet. But it's running smoothly.

The reason I didn't try that is because the tex box always seems to be transparent, so the pic would look that way too. Nonetheless, I will try it out and post the result and have you decide whether or not I should.

[Yapi]

another enemy...or ally?, i am not sure of what it is.... anyway hope you like it


_{(it suck!)}

[Leoshi]

Nice pic again, Yapi! Hm... don't know whether or not I should use it as an enemy or ally. ...I have an idea for it now, but I want to keep it a surprise. Thanks, Yapi. Does it come with a name?

Alright, I tried to use headshots in the textboxes. I don't know about it, though. The pic is transparent. I don't know how it looks that well, so I'm going to get opinions. Is it good or bad?



PS: Thanks for the pic, Yapi, it's great!

[Yapi]

thanks! ok, name...mmmmm...mmmmm what about mmmmm Kator?
is you want the sprite, please tell me

the texbox of the game, usually have this format

|headshot|text|

i mean, usually


anyway, i looks great i love it keep going leo, it is awesome!

[Leoshi]

Kator it is! I can take care of the sprite, don't worry.

I will then fix the textbox to have the headshot on the other side then

Thanks alot, I'm going to spend a lot of time on this!

[Tempest]

These monsters look great! So do these screenshots, Leoshi! Make sure you keep us updated with these screenshots, lmao they motivate me. ;DD Anyways, Yapi is right, I think it would look better with the headshot on the left. Also, I think it looks okay transparent but if you could fix it to make the textbox AND the headshot solid, than that'd be great.

Concept art is actually.. being worked on. Sorry for being so slow! I've been really really busy. ;x;

[Leoshi]

That's fine. Like I said, it's perfectly fine if eveyone takes their time. Believe me, it make it a liitle easier to focus on one specific program or design instead of suddenly having too much data at once. Sometimes, it's distracting. I'm trying to get the charecters finnished first, so I'm going to continue the spriting now. And I will frequently slow my progress with these screenshots. I wish I could show videos of the game though, I'm dying to show the real gameplay at work!

As of now, I still need sprite sheets for the following:
Ultraloco
Yoshee
Jayshi
Teo
Toshi
Yoshiken
Midnight

I'm going to keep this orgonized, so I wil keep this list and modify it through time. I will get to work on these. Can any of the other spriters please help me out?

[Wildfire the Dragon]

All you guys & girls are doing a Great Job! Hey, just wondering, well, I want to help. Well, can you tell me about each position, since I might sign up to help.

[Leoshi]

Of course. These are the positions:
Game Maker: The person who programs the game (sadly, that's a job only I can do)
Soundtrack (provides samples of their origonal music for the game)
Offical Art (pics drawn for the game itself, mostly of the playables, but also for the main villians, items, etc.)
Beta Test Team (The easy job. All these people have to do is test the game when it's done and report bugs and problems)
Sprites (The spriters, sprite characters for me to put in the game)
Enemy Design (designing the bad guys for the game)
NPC Design (designing the regualr people, in towns, cities, other places)
Level Design (self explainatory)
Item Design (same)
Backgrounds (draw skies and other pics that would be in the backgrounds of the levels)

Does that help clarify? If anyone has another job besides these they want to help with, feel free to ask over a PM

Alright, more progress, sort of.

All I did was add in Enrique and Hero. Here's Enrique:

Something strange occured in his textbox. The pic should have not have looked like that, and the text needs to move mroe to thr right. It was just a test, so I will fix it.
For some reason, I decided to make Enrique do laps around the building, I don't know why, other then to test the multitasking capabilites.


That's me talking with hero. I don't have a headshot yet, but I will. He's just programs to wander around.

Next, I'm going to try and program field buttons, if you know what I'm talking about.

Though you wouldn't believe how long that took

[Tempest]

Looks great! Yeah, you gotta fix that headshot thing, lmao. I wish I could help, hah. I feel useless. >>;;

[Leoshi]

You're not useless Tempest. Though it is kind of a one person job to program. Thanks, I am going to fix that stuff, it was just to test run it.

[Tempest]

Time to prove my usefulness! This is kinda overdue, but the first of the concept arts are done! Here is Leoshi.



I hope this is acceptable, Leoshi.

[Leoshi]

Sweet! Of course it's acceptable! Your style is awesome, Tempest! It's very well done, coloring, shading, etc. The expression was captured perfectly too. Thanks, Tempest. By the way, your not late.

[Rocky The Yoshi]

hey Leoshi. I will get my sprite sheet to you as soon as possible. BTW nice drawing Tempest.

[Leoshi]

Alright, thank you Rocky. Here's another sprite sheet, for Yapi:

Out of order, yes, but she's really been helping me out here so I decided to go ahead and do hers. Didn't take too long.

[Yapi]

thanks a lot Leo, the wings are lovely!! ;D
Edit: Here is Tempest concept art, hope you like it ;D




I forgot the gloves....sorry!
