VO Idea (vecna) Displaying 1-15 of 15 total.

A bit aimed for Vecna, but also the general public - you'll notice why in the post I hope.
Since Vecna wants to give VO a shot, and others seem a little pepped to do it. I would bring up a suggestion. Just like the old VO page it would be fun if it accepted free submittions. I would like to create a piece or two for it, since I have yet to see a game (more than a HoV) with my own music in it. It would be fun and hopefully I could do it good so that the people also like the music. I know, from Vecna's post that there is no guarantee that it will become finished, but aiming for a test/beta would be fun. Starting like a chat program and eventually implement new things. I need something to do, that can provide me a few minutes break from my other responsibilities. I know I don't function well without many things to do - so therefor I'd want to be able to help VO, but since I'm no super-coder I guess it would be musically inclined. If VO will be given a real chance I'm interested, because IF IT would work, it'd be awesome. If it isn't given a real try, I think the chance of it not being finished is about 90%.
Public Submitted music, ok or not? If VO will have music (which I hope).
If VO only needs one musician, well, I'll stand in line I guess. However it all depends on the seriousness of the project.

I'm open to music submissions from anyone. I'm not promising that every piece of music submitted will be used, but I would like to use submitted music as much as possible rather than anonymous mods. I still have an assortment of music written for VO that is still on my HD and will be used. Furthermore, the voautoupdate server has been running on verge-rpg actively for the last year or so (:o) so I'll probably dust off the autoupdate client and get stuff running again. We also have a partial main client but I think the "main" voserver needs a lot of work. Once that's done however, we ought to be able to get some preliminary ever-fun "walk and talk" betas going. We actually had a walk-and-talk beta running both the first (with V1) and second (with V2) times, but we didn't have enough art resources to do it. The third attempt with art resources suffered both code problems and an artistic clash between Falthorn and Sharkey, resulting in us not really having any art [again]. This time, I'm just gonna get the walk-and-talk going, I have some art from Falthorn from the previous attempt I can use and I'll just hijack some random VSPs until I have something to show for it. At that point I'll bug art people again for more work, and hopefully if we just march on some artists will fall in line. Hell, if we have something to show for it, maybe we can get evilbob to do some art for it :D
Anyway, I'll see what I can do for it over the weekend. Also, I've recently started hanging out in #verge again, if I'm on irc I'm usually in there as well, so if you guys wanna chat about it, that's where you can find me.

I'm not as good as falthorn is art (not even close mind you), but if there's a set character template I think I would be good enough to make variations on that template. So as the spare falth (or whoever will do sprites) some shit work.
As far as everyone submitting gfx/music, I'm not so sure that's a good idea. A game needs to have central music and graphic styles in my opinion.
Well that's all I have to say, except that like zaril verge has had a very good effect on me as well, and that overall not matter what verge ends up being, I'm damn glad you made it.

Well, I agree, but I think if VERGE proved anything, it's that a congruous art style is much more important than congruous music. Most VERGE games are a hodgepodge of music from all over the place, and for the most part, that works, so long as there's a bit of QC, which there would be. For art, I agree with you entirely, we're going to need an actual core set of artists, if we actually get this thing off the ground.
Also, to both you and zaril, thanks for the kind words. I'm glad we can disagree on some things and still be civil and appreciate each other's strengths. ^_^

I don't program, all I've done around here for years is art. as far as style goes, I don't really have one of my own, but I can emulate anything you throw at me. I don't have the time to head up any sort of art department, but I can do anything, anyway you want me to. ( except vsp's, I ust pre-rendered bkg's).
any how, keep up the good work.

I'd like a go at it too, keep me on the list. As far as I go, I can do:
-3d support(including 3d logos/titles)
-music support
-custom sound effects
-video/sound editing
-some tiles
-high res/color sprites
-Flash 5 animation (for site maybe)
-other things I can't think of now.
Email me if you have ideas. miggle_w@hotmail.com

Glad to hear VO is looking around again, when I first commented on it, the low amount of responcse made me think it might stay dead forever. Hey, I can do vsp's too, I'm not that good though, but I think I could put togethor a fair amount of decent, and random portraits too, if anyone thinks that is a good idea, I'll leave that sitting for a while.
I was making a portrait system for my game where you acctauly put layers of art togethor to make your character's face, just another idea, different head shapes, beards, mouths, etc, it kinda sound silly, but allows a wise range of randomness to the portraits.
I can be contact at Hyptosis@hotmail.com
I'll keep checking in as thing develop. =]

Well music, and art won't be much trouble, it will be the coding that is a pain. Never liked the stuff myself O_o

I like your stuff. Especially your work on Bottles. I'd like to see some of your animation, too. Looks like you have a very traditional education in 2d Classical. :)

A lot of people have been asking me to post some animation I've made... Problem is that i can't, cuz everything is at school. (I need to transfert it...and that can be a pain, especially at the end of semester. So when school starts i'll try to post some.) But i have my school movie that will be finished at the end of the year. I'll also post some test animations and chara concepts through the process.
And yes, I do study classical animation (3 years program) and after that it's 3 years of 3D animation :)
Thanks for the kind words ^^

Yeah! It's refreshing to see an extra person around here that recommends Blair or White over "Mr. Wasabi's How To Draw Anime Part 5."
The kid's got spunk. I bookmark her page.
We can't stop here! This is bat country!

Thanks Zaril ^^
I always appreciate nice comments.
evilbob: of course i'll suggest White and Blair(Blair who is one of my favorite animator, with Tex Avery and Glen Keane and a lot of among many others!! )
I think the most unfortunate today, is the big boost of Jap anime fans that swear just by that. I don't have anything agains't it, but I do believe people should also be aware of other type of animation.(Americain, Canadian, British, Russian.....and there is others) It's in variaty that we learn the most. It's my humble opinion. :)
