Aububuh Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Just a random addition to the storyline: George Lucas will replace Elaine Marley. One of the three trials will be to steal the idol from George Lucas's mansion, even though it's his company. Lucas will be kidnapped, and Ron goes after him because he desperately wants to work for his company (LucasArts) but he keeps saying no. Ron will have trouble talking when Lucas is around, because he can't believe he's in the presence of 'the guy who made Star Wars'. I've thought of some hilarious dialog for this scenario, so it seems to work best. Who will replace the Swordmaster and what 'insult game' will be played is still unknown. How about Ron steals some Star Wars prop, like the Yoda puppet, or a lightsaber? Maybe the random insult people who you find on the road look like jedi? Or how about instead of dressing as Fester Shinetop, the villan (whoever he is) looks like one of the guards from THX-1138? If we're going to have George Lucas, we'd better take advantage of that.

Kroms Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Put in a part where you beat the **** out of Jar Jar Binks and you're already guaranteed 3 out of 5 stars. George Lucas, I guess, is like Murray. He probably writes himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackpumpkinhead Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 What if you replaced Elaine with the script to SOMI and lechuck can be an evil opposing gaming company that steals the script. And your job is to rescue the script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fealiks Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 What sample background were you after? I'll give it a go. I can also help with various other things such as writing, but no programming Also, I'd like to make a suggestion if I may. I think that you should focus your efforts on a smaller-scale game. Maybe just a few rooms long. If you try to make a game that's as big as SMI, it probably won't get finished. A good thing to do is to think of some objective your character needs to complete, and plan the story out around that. Looking up some things about story structure would help. I'd suggest something small like "Ron needs to mail his finished game to his boss but it's been accidentally sent upstairs to the obnoxious business man Jim LeWard and he has to get it back" (well, maybe not that, but you know ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward van Helgen Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I can help with making the music, just tell me what you want and I'll make it! And byt the way, this is a great idea! I really like the idea of Ron being shy when talking to George Lucas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fealiks Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I was thinking a crowded and messy office for the demo background. This is just a rough, 30 minute concept sketch coloured in photoshop. I figured it would be simpler to do a rough sketch first so that you can easily share ideas and whatnot. The finished version will have a lot more detail to make it look messier (and some people too I guess... although I'm no sprite artist so maybe MonkeyMania can take care of that ). Remember that this is just a sketch... the proper version will have better colours and possibly chairs that are big enough for humans to sit on Also, does anybody know what size image I should be making for the final background? I'm pretty clueless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Mania Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 backgrounds should be 320x144 for non-scrolling rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Mania Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Let's see, for the demo, I need to make these sprites for Ron. Idle Walking Talking Pick-up 39 total If there is any special animation you need, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fealiks Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Just out of interest, is this going to be a talkie? If so, I can supply some horribly poor quality voices, and I'm sure other members can too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward van Helgen Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 That looks great! I think it's perfect for the game. And I think that the "Scumm Office" should be really hectic with a lot of people walking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward van Helgen Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 http://rapidshare.com/ should do the trick Here it is! I think it should fit quite well if there's people running all around the office to get a quite hectic atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use Gimp to make gif images too, and then you won't have the 'artifacts'. And yet better... it's free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward van Helgen Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Fantastic! Absolutely bloody fantastic! Seriously, I can't think of ANY way it could be improved. I LOVE you! Haha, thanks a lot!
