CREATE YO AVATAR FOR MY GAME

**[MPGH]arunforce** · 01-08-2014

So I had this strange dream a couple days ago, it was like a battle, w/ alot of people and me fighting in it, it was pretty cool, but I don't explain it until I make the game, and regardless of how I explain it, it will still sound kinda dorky. But it translates well into a game w/ virtual players so I decided to make the concept of the dream into a game in a couple days, see where it leads me. Partially because BattleTale is WAY TOO MUCH WORK, the project just is simply too huge for one person and will take me forever to complete, and the game is kinda boring. This game will be a lot of fun.

I already finished the multiplayer basic demo in ~1.5 days, it loads sprites, builds and animates a character, lets them walk around w/ other people, and even supports dynamic coloring. I remember how some general members had fun with the Quippie contest, lot of cool submissions, and this is even easier in some ways (18x18 pixel characters). So I wanted to see if anyone wanted to join in the fun.

SUPER EARLY ALPHA EXAMPLE

I NEED A VARIETY OF FANTASY CHARACTERS, NOT A BUNCH OF COOL LOOKIN SUPERHERO KNIGHTS

Things you should know:
1. I attached 3 base sprites, rename the one you want to load: "player.png", and run the .swf. If you can't run it, just drag the swf into chrome.
2. The 4 block hand needs to always be there in the same position, weapons will be loaded on top of them.
3. You can only use up to 10 colors for the character for dynamic coloring purposes, unless the color in a specific area isn't suppose to change (which can be excluded from the limit).
4. Fantasy battle unit designs only, for all you ******s out there, no dicks or any genitals, or any gay shit. If you still submit gay shit I'mma stab you in the ass.
5. You don't have to animate the head/body, but if you do, just keep drawing the sequence to the right. The input field lets you animate the head/torso object, up to 5 frames (maybe expand to 10). Input the number of frames you have made.
6. Each block is an 18x18 grid, you can turn it on in photoshop by pressing " CTRL + ' " and then going to edit > preferences > guides, grids & slices, and changing the grid size to 18 pixels. It will greatly help you draw without screwing up.
7. You can make as many as you want.
8. The two TGL buttons toggle the hand from straight armed to 90 degrees bent.

What do you get:
Your creation will be turned into your character for my game and you will be invited into the alpha w/ your character set (assuming it isn't fucking stupid and relatively good looking). You'll probably get to keep the design into the full game if everything goes according to plan, or doesn't become a generic design (because I think it works well as one). You get to watch as the game gets transformed in the next 3 days into a semi-complete game while getting to voice your opinion and make changes. I'm always inclined to give the most helpful people exclusive stuff including staff.

I'll make an all Flash version if a lot of people use it I guess.
