Yeah, since I'm back from my 2-3 month inactivity, I thought I'd give you all a taste of what I'm working aside from work, school, theatre, MKF and all that.

Using my ever-growing knowledge of RPG Maker 2003, I have decided to start work on an RPG based off of Sonic. Yes, I know it's been done before, but I wanted to make this as original as possible, including an innovative storyline and use of dimension warping.

Here's what I have done so far:

EDIT: I have decided to call this game Sonic Adventure 3.5: Dimensional Clash. (name pending) A Title Screen is needed.

==26 characters, including 4 secret characters and 6 Pokemon (I'll explain later) with individual evolutions==
==2 Worlds on the map (South Island & the Altar of Ancients, again, I'll explain later)
==18 Healing items already implemented==
==23 normal armors implemented==
==Special Armor equippable only by each character==
==5 Badniks (as in monsters) implemented (I think there are 5 now...)==
==All equippable weapons removed (sorry, not too fitting in a Sonic RPG)==

What still needs to be done:
==A working map with events and all that stuff==
==painstakingly making each battle animation==
==A Title Screen (that's very important)==
==fixing the palette errors in Badniks==
==making all the face graphics and map sprites (I can't use humans forever)==
==working (& good-looking) magic and skills (compared to the ones they already give you from the start)==

So, yeah, that's just about it. Here's one screenshot:

All that's in this shot is Sonic in battle against two Motobugs and a Buzzer. As you can see, the palettes are odd. The reason is because RPG Maker 2003 won't let me input my own .PNG images, so I spriteswapped bats to make Motobug and Buzzer.

To be honest, I was hoping I could get some people to assist me in the creation of this game. I also require custom spriters.

So anyway, that's about it for me. I'd love to hear any thoughts, questions or requests, as this won't be finished for quite a while!

EDIT: I now have more people helping me! As of today (09/23/08):
Me: Coder, Spriter, Co-author
Typho98: Supporter
Gun6: Spriter, Playtester
captain_caveman: Sprite Wrangler, Playtester
Psycho_Cid_420: Coder
dvv402: Sprite Wrangler, Playtester

If anyone else can offer their skills, please speak out!

looks good, wish i could figures out RPG makins.

Well, since I only have 3 Badniks implemented, I might as well show what I have so far.

Motobugs from Sonic 1.
Motobugs are your general "first enemy in the RPG" Badnik. They can only attack.

Buzzers from Sonic 2.
Buzzers are a good example of "flying enemy" Badniks. They can attack and cast Fire 1 (which will be something different in due time). They have good resistance against fire but they don't have good resistance against anything else.

Pogo-Hoppers from Sonic CD.
Pogo-Hoppers are interesting enemies because they can attack twice in one turn. This can be a hassle if dealing with multiple Pogo-Hoppers at once.

Sweet. Looks good. Shame that Typhlosion can't be in. Oh, and can I actually WORK on it? Like, co-author or something? Not just a spriter, but a person who can work on it. Please? (eh.. i'm probably not gonna get in..)
