I .....HAVE.....RETURNED!

hey peeps , after taking a couple of months off im finaly back ,be sure to updat me on what has happenedz! hope u havent done anything TOOO drasic whil im gone!

if u wanna know why i was off n all i just had a 2 day holiday in london, forgot about the forum completely, made a new fangame, canceled it ,joined 4chan ,got addicted to onlin mmmos and metal gear solid games.....

well welcome back my friend! & the only major drastic thing is...
the game will now be shortened, and the the story will be animated via flash instead of it being in the game as well... due to its limitations... you can read it HERE
but ya... its been slow...

WHAYT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG NO CUTSCENES?


well i suppose that meeans no fanchers eccept dash.............we can manage it ....hmmmmmmmmmz

Oh for Pete's sake. The game will still have all the characters, it's just gonna be less complicated is all. I mean, first of all we'd need an enormous amount of sprites for cutscenes, and then someone to rig them to work in Gamemaker. It's just too much to take. And as soon as I find a decent animator and someone to do these voices, we'll get underway.

Obviously the biggest problem is lack of sprites, and so, I intend to look through my list of friends and see if I can find any good spriters that I could actually talk to in person.

No, Myst interpreted it wrong.

if theres no cutscenes then there is no point even including the fan characters, what you have suggested is...sloppy and slack jawed...gawd i shouldve stayed of 4 a bit moar

well the truth is that we are limited to the engine's ablility to do want we want it to do...

we could do the whole project in flash, which could satify all of the game needs, putting cutscenes where they need to, but the problem with that would be is that the file size would be drastic, and no one kows how to make a sonic-like game using actionscript...
