Title screen GFX eh.
Sounds like a good idea!

Now....what's the title gonna be like? We really don't have a good aim for where this should be taken yet. :/

As for the Fonts, I think we'll make our own font for the game, why not? :)

RandomSpriter

Having real trouble with the Release function for the GiF to be stopping. >.<

May take longer to fix then the background thing.

I have no idea how animation works in GM. In flash is very simple.
So u use a gifs? I think transparent pngs is better choice because pngs have a transparency pixels. Gif has only 100% visible and invisible pixels so you will have troubles optimizing edges of higher resolution sprites.

RandomSpriter

Nah, that's super easy imo.
I'm more trouble with the coding and the Solutions.

Think I may need to rebuild the Animation from the beginning in the coding with the x Coordinates. =/

when you come up with some stable engine u can search for artists from deviantart.com. i m sure there can be found some artists who would make a little input - single efforts.

However I still have doubts about GM is a right choice. Maybe you have a look at MultiMedia fusion stuff? I think it should be very similar. If it's more powerful it's better go with MMF than GM IMO.

I can buy a copy.

RandomSpriter

GM is fine, Arseniy.
It's more then enough for most of the part.
It's more about that I'm not very good with coding at all, I can read Code, but not write it as easily

As for Artists, we'll have to see how that goes once the engine is kinda fixed(It's more of a Object Engine then a engine in itself.)

And no, don't buy a copy. :P

Let's see how far we can get with GM first.

arseniy

well. Personally I haven't seen so good games made with GM but I saw commercial games made with MF(noitu love 2 best example) that's my main worry...

RandomSpriter

I've experienced the other way around.
A hint is to go and watch the yoyogames site for the indie GM games.
You should see what they can make of this.

Then again, they KNOW how to make games. :P

arseniy

I see it says about some plugin and play a game in browser.
Well I played Iji - it actually was one of the best games ever I saw made with GM.
Yay GM8, last time I checked GM games it was 6 version

RandomSpriter

Tons of new features, if I ever will buy the game that is.
Using the Lite Version for now.

Anyway, back to the Character Concepts. <.< Miranda and Hokuto needs their description done.

Ps: Find someone who can create games. :P No matter if GM or MMF

arseniy

What is YoYo? Is it just a GM games portal or is it owned by GM creators?
U right the quality seems improved a lot. It's amazing how this nitherland guys not give up. They so out of competition compare to flash!

http://www.yoyogames.com/
Here's some web based GM games, also downloadable bigger games.
Showcasing the power of SHMUPs as well if you know where to look.

arseniy

The plugin to play those games online not works nor in firefox neither in IE
yes i did understood you meant .com site

arseniy

so i will download GM and we share a project huh?

RandomSpriter

I wouldn't mind another one helping out with coding, Would love to.

Still messing about with everything though, Story, Key Event Scripts, Sprites, Coding etc etc in my head. =/

But I'll gladly share you with everything I have on the roll at the moment.
