I've been gathering art for my own personal use for a number of years. Recently, I've decided that I'd like to take up some programming as my customers are asking of it more and more often. Somewhere along the lines I stumbled across a game developed with an RPG maker. Long story short I'm now developing a game myself the goal of which is to learn VBS commands. The game itself is WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) for the most part with the option to view the code behind to see how it all works (and make advanced changes). The problem I face is the same that West Wood Studios had with the production of their first games I AM NOT AN ARTIST Section 1 genre of the game HOPEFULLY the game will be 80% furry, the problem with that is locating game sprites. The good news is the game has a few built in sprites and I've already modified some of them to suit me needs. Some heads had to roll for that
The game will contain Human, "Anthro" furries and "feral" furries interacting in all sorts of situations up to and including sex. As a result, at one point or another, this will more then likely offend somebody.
Due to fur affinity's T.O.S. and the fact that this game has 1 main exe file (not flash based) it will have to be hosted through a 3rd party (e.g. Mega Upload) Section 2 Use of Art Art for the game comes from my personal collection and is property of both the artist, and where applicable the commissioner. As such, if I deem the content suitable for (possible) use in the game I will ask both the artist and the commissioner for permission to use their image/character. due to the nature of the game (as described in section 1) I will allow either party to request their image(s) up to the end of beta testing. Images are going to be used as event layers and game sprites and probably won't be incorporated into the game until late June of this year.
At this point I had been uploading "Speech Bubble Small" into scraps and "Speech Bubble Large" "Clean Image" into the main gallery upon approval. Now that I have a large enough sample to show other artists/commissioners this will stop (and I'm tired of getting yelled at by artists for unauthorized use of their art)
SOMEBODY CALL FOR THE WWWWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHHHMBULANCE
During "Event Layer" testing all approved art will be uploaded to the gallery with links to the artists who drew them and (where applicable) to the people who own the respective characters.
Assuming public release of the game, it will be distributed free of charge and open source (http://www.opensource.org/osd.html) so my "payment" for art usage will be fame, recognition (and knowing somebody is going to spooge up a keyboard) Section 3 Are You Even Reading All of This?[/u] Well are you? Punk!? Section 4 A Call To Arms If somebody has characters/art that they would like me to use in game drop me a line and I'll see if I can make use of it. Anybody wishing to submit art should note that in order for me to make game sprites I need the entire character. The more of your character that's been cropped out (e.g. wings, tail feet) the more difficult it will be to make "sprites" from it. The simpler the background the better.
Unfortunately I could not use this image in game (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/6657007/) the background and her fur are just to close and adobe flipped right out
The time frame of the game is difficult to describe, most of the weapons are melee based (swords and such) but "ranged class" companions are also an option with bows, crossbows and even basic guns. I think I stumbled across a treasure trove of weapons for tile sets (pretty bobbles behind the glass in game shops) but I'm still open for more. Please note that these are basic weapons and a M-16 with a ELGM grenade under mount is not an option. Nor would it be prudent to have to buy 7.52x54r armor parsing ammo for a cross bow
Magic is the devastator, slow and powerful but packs a hell of a hit! It's also used to heal and "buff" other party members. If anybody wants to provide spells or incantations or just smug-ass sayings for characters let me know (e.g. NAPALM BOMB IS READY HEH HEH HEH / MEDICAL SUPPLIES ON HAND)
SPELL TYPES: BUFF HEAL
Fire: Strong against Wind Weak against Water
Water: Strong against Fire Weak against Electricity
Electricity: Strong against Water Weak against Earth
Earth: Strong against Electricity Weak against Wind
Wind: Strong against Earth Weak against Fire Mental (possibly) Strong against Everything
Speaking of smug sayings, it's not just the mages that get all the fun; everybody gets a saying for special moves.
Religion Yes, I'm including religion in the game. Guess the main reason for the tribes fighting among each other is... there will be 3 major religions in game, as of yet I haven't named them or they deities but the religions are Light, Dark and Balanced. And (if can get the programming right) the player actions will choose their moral alignment and thus a "side". If all goes as planned there will be 3 possible endings to the game, a Blissful Paradise, Harmony, or everybody ruled under your iron might
Population I've already got LOADS of cat-girls I need to find something else. The game will have both "low" and "high" evolution characters See (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/4503082/)
shops: Ore Mines Black Smith (Forge) Armor (at least 6 of these) Weapons(at least 6 of these) Herblore (at least 6 of these) In the town of Buffalo Flats there is one botanist that really REALLY likes her job (tentacle sex) Clothing (at least 6 of these) General (at least 6 of these) Mantis Caravan (6) (I need a rather rotund male fur for this one. There's a Man-Tits Caravan joke later on in game) Church 1 (5) Advice 1 (1) Church 2 (5) Advice 2 (1) Food (at least 6 of these) some of them are "The Big Cheese" and need a mouse as a store owner (or, alternatively a cat store owner with a mouse problem) Dye Shop (3) Pet Shop (at least 6 of these) There is 1 pet shop that will have some will contain "Anthro" furries and "feral" furries *ahem* interacting. I was hoping to have edis okay some art but he seems to be gone Boats (transport) (4) Notable (large) houses (at least 6) "Modern Home" has a sun room (second floor). Trinity I'd like to have a leaf-type Pokémon (feral) sunning it's self. I was going to use (https://e621.net/data/0f/59/0f59e5958182a751dabe768637c...) but A it's cut off and B that background would be a bitch to edit out Hotel (at least 6) Numerous caves for "feral" animals to live (among other things :) )
