Totes. MATA GET IN HEERRREEE!

MAAAAAAAAAATA

I recognize the whole different aliens and everything and sci fi makes it hard to do the whole spirit thing and spirit worlds and all that, but I have been thinking about that.

I imagine like, when the universe was young and the spirits existed in the physical world, I picture giant spirits, like massive whales, and long ago, they either dived into rocks that eventually became planets, and these massive spirits became Anima Mundi, world spirits, or they build the planets around themselves.

I started to enjoy thinking how spirits would play in a sci-fi setting, gives you a whole opportunity to build on their... Evolution, of sorts I think.

Spaces whales.

So planet spirits. That'd be fun.

I guess I look at the idea like, if you deal with spirits, and I dont mean ghosts but spirits like in Asian mythology, you gotta have a world spirit. But, from what I remember with the Shaman Guild, everyone is aliens so multiple worlds. Only makes sense every world has an independent world spirit. Which also means some may be good, others evil.

Dun dun dun evil planet. Because having to fight a planet makes you feel like a badass.

Fighting a planet would be badass as shit.

Yeah, not sure how you are supposed to stop that. And I would assume as shamans, you wouldn't want to just kill the entire planet either.

This is very true.

Now I must await for Mata. Booooo

Waiiiiiit

drops in loudly

Hella sprites, omni. They kinda remind me of doctor doom

I made the sprites using the RPG Maker VX Character creator thing It's called Game Character Hub. c: It's animated in game. From left to the right.

Noice. Always been mah dream to own/run or be in an indie game company.

RPG Makers pretty fun. It's a little limited as far as detail, but if you can make your own music and assets and write some of your own code, you can make some pretty cool stuff. I consider doing my Awakened story stuff in it, but it just doesn't have the level of detail I want.

Those are legitimately pro-level sprites, Omni! How did you make those? Are you doing more for the game? Will you put up a demo when you can, I love games!!! :D

And Imp! Imp, I've missed you almost as much as I've missed your beard! Good to see you around :3 How's the workload? Are you running the... the place yet? (poop I forgot where you work again)

Wuzzup Ron how's it hanging. I've almost missed you a lot but I talked to you on Mumble so unless you grow a beard this is all the greeting you get. >:3

All three+more of youuuuu I'd be so down for doing a fourth SGRP on those lines! The spirits in Korra were really cool, and have you guys seen Spirited Away? It's by Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli. What if we did those kinds of gigantic animal-like spirits with that sort of setting, that they frequent these 'sacred' places that organic beings aren't supposed to go? I've also been really liking the idea of 'representative' spirits lately, like the planet spirits you suggested, and maybe there could be city spirits aaaand and spirits for different biomes like grassland spirits and forest spirits and lake spirits and city spirits (Omni knows how I went on on those!) and everything!

SGRP 4 LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Also I'll be making more sprites yeah. Most of them aren't as good though. It;s pretty simple to be honest. You just pick a bunch of parts and put them together.

Would you be interested in teaming up to do a game Mata? Because I can do in game graphics, but I don't have face talky sprites or monsters and I think that'd be fun.

Also a story. THough I could do Forsaken as a story. That'd be fun.

Yeah, that rpg maker stuff is hella rad.

And, as for you Mata, I'll have you know I have a wonderful beard.

Beeeaaaarrrd.

Nah, I don't run Kohler yet. WE NEED THE GROUP BACK TOGETHER AGAIN

And yes I have seen Spirited Away, EXACTLY the kind of thing I am thinking of too. I like representative spirits as well, that whole idea is a lot more interesting.

Which also gets me on this newer anime that came out called Noragami. Has a nice approach to spirits as well, but specifically to gods and Regalia's, the weapons of the gods.

And yeah I am thinking of delving into Unity and/or the UDK engine, all that stuff is getting cheaper to use, Unity being free and UDK being fairly cheap to license now.

Wait do you Ron? Really?

And shoot, I'll be busy for the upcoming few months while I get ready for college and shnuff, but I'd just love to do a game collab!! :D (like seriously! that would be freaking AWESOME) I remember trying Unity for a little a while back, but I wasn't any good at it! Working a little in Flash now. What's UDK? o:

define "really"

My answer is a definite maybe.

I demand a picture of your chin. <.<

Don't you think that's asking a little much, Mata?

Not the face, just the chin! I can send a chinpic, too, if you want to exchange. ACTUALLY: Here's an idea. When I get back to the states, let's both shave clean, then have a beard growing contest.

I am not strong in the ways of facial hair - not that it's a problem, I prefer to stay clean shaven.

UDK is the Unreal Development Kit, or just plainly the Unreal engine. I cannot even name every game that runs on the Unreal engine, and it is a fairly cheap engine to license, and one of the easier engines to learn and use that can make triple A title games.

Here is a newer game that is made on the Unreal engine.
