There's a game im working on, its called Nox or Night so far. Its not yet decided what the final name will be. Regardless, I think it could turn out be a great game if ever completed. It is actually a side scroller. a platform game if you will. there are 5 different classes of playable characters, each with their own skills and game play style. the player can choose either male or female as the gender for all of them.
we have:
the game itself, is pretty open ended. kinda like the spirit engine, if you have played it. the battle system is an active one, as you'd expect in side scrollers.
I have lots of ideas for the game. hopefully, I can implement them all. The coding and everything, i can do pretty well. There's almost nothing that I cant do with it and if i cant, i ask for help here and so far the guys over here have been great.
Features such as the day/night system and inventory system are going to be in it. So you can equip different weapons and everything; hopefully the inventory system will be kinda like the diablo's.
What i need, however, is for someone to do the menu layouts and if possible, sprites (characters). the help would be most appreciated and will get your name in the credits. any spriter should know that the game is a lot of work. for example, these are the animations i need for the male vampire alone:
Standing
Walking
Jumping
Falling
Getting hit
Dying
Burning in fire (will happen when he walks in sunlight)
Sword slash 1 (vertical)
Sword slash 2 (vertical)
sword slash 3 (vertical)
sword slash 1,2 and 3 in air
Clap hands
Turn to bat
Turn to wolf
Turn to Fog
Dash
Showing inside of coat or cape (for fireballs like in castlevania: sotm)
Feed
Also, like i mentioned before, there are 4 other playable classes. that makes 10 playable characters (5 male / 5 female). Although, the male and female have the same actions/poses in all of the races but its still a lot of work. (e.g, if the male vampire can turn into a wolf, so will the female, in the same way). Other than that, there will be enemies and NPCs. My point is that its a lot of work. If you think you're ok with that then cool Otherwise, well, i donno...It will look weird if half the work is done by 1 spriter and the other by someone else.
In the end, Ill say, I need people who can do dark menu layouts and also those who can do sprites. As always, help is most appreciated.
actually i dont know about that. and nox isnt even the final name for the game. if you read my post, you'd have realized that its way different from diablo in a lot of ways. the most obvious of all is that its a platformer.
@Phred: I actually have a copy of the old Westwood game Nox. It is quite fun actually and I think it has enough of differences compared to Diablo to not be a clone imo with the spell and level system being totally different.
To get more ontopic, I'm actually quite interested in contributing with graphics since I'm not working on any projects right now and I have always wanted to do a C:SoTN inspired game for some time now. The sheer number of characters and animations kinda puts me off a little bit though. Especially since you want both female/male versions. Anyways if you want to check out work I have done earlier check out http://www.csar-games.com and if you are interested you could add me on msn or send me a dc mail.
Oh and I mostly do pixelart, hope that's ok.
Yes, there is already a game named Nox that is a diablo-clone, as was the trend back then, but it was a very minor, unheard of game, so reusing the title isn't a bad idea at all. Lots of games share titles, generally the unheard of shareware ones. I generally just run a name through google before I take it, to see what turns up.
