The Gigas Project Sign Ups


my time has now been freakin limted to one hour a day so when I ask I have only one hour. and now I can't use IRC anymore. <_<
 
Ill be hit and miss for a while, but the next 3 weeks I cant make any gaurnteed time
Finishing up work on my new house, pretty busy, so whenever I have time ill pop in

OOO, I'm really excited now. I just made up this preliminary cutscene (just for giggles :D ) and realized how awesome this could turn out.

So anyway, do you guys want me to PM a little bit of the setting and background story? It's really not very complete at all, but I'm pretty excited about what I have, and I was wondering if you guys would be too. Then you guys could help out and stuff without me just working behind the scenes. Yes or no?

Anyway, I think mIRC is out, although that could have been a good way to get together. Because this forum is public, it's kind of hard to talk about the game without giving stuff away. Anyone have any ideas on this? I don't really understand the teamspeak thing... Is it strictly voice chat? Drop a note or something, and we'll get stuff organized.

NO ONE has left a sample of their games! What happened? The team wants to see your work! Help us out here! And team members, you haven't either! What's up?

Pirotic, if you're still reading, I still don't quite understand if dialogue, cutscenes, etc. have their own individual files. If they do, that would help a lot, and if they don't, it's alright anyway. Also, some kind of injector would help a lot for dialogue, as in you write the dialogue number and what dialogue is in it, then it will be converted into a Gigas friendly format. Lastly, where is the apostrophe? Some of the text looks just plain strange without them (or does it actually exist and I'm just being a dunce?).

Can't wait you guys! If you have any questions, ideas, concerns, anything, drop me a PM on the boards or email me at mechanori@gmail.com or you can talk to me on IRC by leaving a PM (for mammothMA) or hanging out in #gp32. Stay in contact!
 
well, ya can PM us for now, but in IRC, we could just nake up anychannel just for us
o well, but ya, let me see ya story line, then Ill start sketching out a town on paper, then Ill see what I can do for actual in game stuffs

~Octavious
 
Awesome, I'll be sure to get it to you ASAP. Probably tomorrow, I'm a bit busy with work tonight.
 
umm...mechanori...i didnt manage to do a game yet...that freakin sprites *grr*
teamspeak is not only voice, you can send text messages too, but its mainly voice.
and i found a program that could come in handy: GPaint! it supports raw files and runs on gp32_console if i got it right....so we could edit sprites and tiles without copying them from PC to gp32_console and back...what do yuo think about it?
look at it here... but i just read it only supports 32*32 tiles )): maybe we could ask the creator to mod it in a way that it supports the gigas files...
 
Sounds good. I actually sort of know Dalto, the creator, so I'll PM him and see if he can manage anything. I was actually one of the first people to use the little app :)

EDIT: Oops, sorry, that's not Dalto's work! In that case, I dont know the author, although Dalto did create a drawing app called GPPaint.
 
well, Im gonna read your story idea tonight, its to pages so its gotta be good
ill comment sometime, goin to an Xbox Halo 2 party tommorow! ( 15 people!! )

~Octavious
 
can you send me the story too, pls? i changed my email due to pop3-compatibility
the new one is N1L5_B3RG@web.de (yeah, i really trust thunderbird's spam blocker :D)

EDIT: oh, and i'll mail the creator of GPaint32 and ask him whether he could modify it so that it supports the gigas .raw files

EDIT 2: mhh, i cant find the email on his page....guess i have to start a thread to search him....
 
btw irc is not out yet..... on www.gamesports.de they have a java based IRC client.....could that work for you kuriboh?
 
not if I only have an hour. <_< :( I also would like the storyline plz. :) that way I can start working on somethings for the game. btw I have geepee32 running on my computer with gigas I think it might help but not sure .... I'm kind of down in the dumps right now about my computer time though... :( But I stay happy :D . :lol:
 
and i cant do anything without sprites an tiles.....i only can do hotspots, triggers and dialogues...and maybe maps.....but triggers are not even fully usabe yet ):
 
octavious: did u get the tilesets yet? I read his Idea and thought it was great. but now we need everything to get started. :)
