Kitsuki

Just look at them broad shoulders. Hmm, makes me think of trying to make some of my own sprites. Even though it can be said that Germany and I both equally suck at things like this. (He's infinitesimally better, though, haha. ;D Just a little.) Anywho good job Germany, keep doing what you're doing!

Never such a thing as "can't"! But if that's the problem, try just practicing. Don't make an actual game, just a small "visual experience". Like The Mirror Lied--you ever seen that game? It was experimental, and it's short and sweet. I'm a writer, so my analogy is this--writing a short story and a novel. We all dream of writing novels, but rarely have I met someone who finished one. Most they could go in is five chapters. (And yes, that person described is possibly me.) But if you're capable of writing five chapters, then you're obviously capable of a short story! I'm just going to theorise for a bit. No idea if this is true for anyone, but it certainly is for me... Thing is, no one here knows what you're capable of yet. Therefore, they don't know if you're going to be dead set on finishing this project. What dolarmak said here rings true for me. I started a large game for my first project, and it was so big that I had to ask several artists to participate. They did, and happily when they heard of the idea--but the problem is that the game was so big, I eventually couldn't keep up with it. And trust me when I said they were not happy. Among some of them were character artists who made art for up to 10 characters. And that work was wasted because I misjudged my own capabilities. Spriting and making character graphics, as nice and simple as people sometimes think it is, is hard work. Have you ever tried making your own character graphics? I have--and it kills me. I was never able to come up with something I quite liked as much as other games. This applies to composing music, too. Ask Germany, he's a musician and even though he works hella hard, composing one piece can drain the life out of him. (Although it might just be because composing isn't his repertoire. :P But take it as an example.) Long story short, work to understand the engine thoroughly! Post some things showing what you're able to do. Eventually people will have faith in your skills and capability and will know you can handle a big project. :) Then perhaps people will help more. again i don't know if this applies for people here, but it does for me.

as you keep telling me -.-' Ohh, it looks interesting. Like something I really wanna try... the title gives me a Ghost in the Shell sort of vibe. (even if I've never watched/read it) I'm still playing through The Gray Garden, so give me some time before I dive into it. ;D

OBJECTION! I happen to have no eye for art and think that the unholy monster is very beautiful :shifty: Pfft. But in all seriousness, it looks good. I like it when his shoulders were wider, though. Looks more like the Ace Attorney wide-shouldered anatomy we know and love. (hint hint Edgeworth's shoulders) I can try and do something, too... Idk if this is ever going to be a game we do, though, I just barely started writing the idea for it.

I took a peek at the features... "108 characters, each different in there own way". My goodness. Are you counting NPCs as well, or characters that have significance to the plot? How long do you think the game will be, approximately? Sounds hard to get a game like that out in less than a year. I haven't played Suikoden, but I'll have a look at it and see if I can do anything to help. :)

Hiya! I'm kind of new, too, so hope to see you around the forums! ;D

Yeah, by all means. You didn't have to keep them the way they were :P

Nice to be back in the forums! I was referred here by GermanyXItaly1000--well, not really referred. I used to own that account back in 2013 or something, then I let him have it when I left this place. Or so I thought I did. He convinced me that the community here is great, so I'm back! Seems the site had a huge upgrade, so I'm pumped to see more! :3 Ummm since this is the intro thread... should I be introducing myself? Can't hurt. I'm Kitsuki, been using RMXP for two years. Naoto--though y'all seem to call him Germany, so I'll do that too while I'm here--and I have been partners for a little longer than that, and we've been working together in writing fiction and making the fangame. Insanitalia's the name of the game. ;D He's the musician/coffee-addict part of our duo, and I'm the weeb trash. Hobbies include lying around, annoying Germany, eating good food, putting off homework, constantly having to get my laptop fixed by Germany, and sleeping. Hope to see everyone around on the forums. :D I think I'll be coming on this site a lot more now. It was definitely great help when I was dabbling around with RMXP a couple years back.
