  Game/Project title: ANIMA MIRROR~tamashii no kagami~What's the true yourself?Team name:Still none but we are so far:2 concept artist/pixel artist1 Visual C++ programmer1 SDL A.I. programmer1 C/C+ programmer2 Music composersProject name:2D Action RPG ANIMA MIRROR (Visual Media at the end of the post)Brief description:This is a project I've started with a friend of mine, we're making the storyline and searching for a programmer(s) that will join our project.Tamashii No Kagami (The Mirror Of Soul) is an Action RPG set in the City of Kyushu, you will play as a young student (Akihito Matsuki) recently transferred in the city searching for his real parents.Experience a game that involve a new concept of battling using your own body as the gate for unleash the incredible powers of the "Mirrors".Go trough the roads of a city populated with Ethereal Creatures escaped from their soul cages,become a Mirror Hunter and fight everyone that stands against you and the truth about your origins.A 2D single player scrolling beat'em up, a puzzle game where use the skills of the mirros you've got for find the solutions and a School Life simulator.Try to reveal the mysteries about Kyushu!! Teamwork with other Mirror hunters, and learn how to combinethe skills of you own mirrors for devastating attacks! And essential for victory, don't be prey of your own powers.:To put in short the game will have:•Real time fighting system no turn based.•Exping&Lvling of both the main character and the mirrors he will use.•Day/Night shifting by the actions the player decides to do during the school time•at least other 4-5 character that will fight with you in a party of max 3 members•40-50 or more mirrors avaiable•Multiplayer? (hardly)Target aim:Actually just a PC suitable game, if after we will get any job offers we probably will have to work on another platform.Compensation:For now just the pride, sorry.Technology:That's up to the programmer(s) that will decide to join our project.Talent needed:Programmers&Musicians since we are already enough for the game concept art and the visual media.Team structure:Netkat - Aka Joel > Main concept artist/WriterOmega_Virus - Peter > Secondary concept artist/WriterWebsite:Our Board address have to be asked via PMI can link sites that host some of my previous stuff:>>Artworkshttp://iceketch.deviantart.com/gallery/>>Sprites Galleryhttp://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=130873>>Photobucket Accounthttp://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v122/trueshinobi/Contacts:>>MSN&Mailicekillah@hotmail.it Additional Info:supposed ingame screen:animated sprites:concept image for the "mirrors"concept image about the "mirrors hunters"Feedback:Just constructive comments about the project[Edited by - netkat on August 2, 2006 9:28:49 AM]
  this sounds like a really great project.I am currently attending my senior year in college as a Computer Science undergraduate, I have a great deal of experience with C/C++, and I have used the SDL graphics library on several projects.I am a fairly quick learner, and I could pick up DirectX graphics programming if the team wanted to move that way (away from the SDL, but reminder that Beats of Rage was done in SDL so its a solid library.)My profile includes a few side projects and concepts, and a few projects that never went anywhere either due to time or lack of interest in doing all those damn sprites :) A few demos demonstrating some simple concepts (including a fully working Python/Pygame Tetris) can be found here : http://source.eyeforcode.com/I also have some experience in AI design and implementation. I did a really neat project for my computational intelligence class which I can post later today, and I would love to try some AI following/attacking algorithms.I would really like to join in this group as either the Lead Programmer or an assisting programmer, because I have a lot of ideas for games like this that would be really neat to implement. I am a big algorithm nut so I've already thought out how you would implement this entire combo system, and the mirror stuff seems really cooll! (as long as I dont have to do any art! :) )please give me an email (cthulhu32.at.gmail.com) if you guys decide you want me on board. I am also on AIM frequently, my S/N is CthulhuLA   ;  Thx a lot for your interest Cthulhu, I would really appreciate a skilled guy like you in the team, I've found another programmer that have showed his interest in the project so we just have to have meeting online so that we will discuss about the engine and the other stuff.Do you have MSN messsanger? We all use that for talk each other, if yes send me a PM with it or just add me to your contacts I'm icekillah@hotmail.Now I can finally update the members part of the post!We may have a musician composer too!   ;  I'm too busy to help you out at this time. However, I just wanted to say that I am very impressed with your art. I'm sure your project will turn out very nicely. Keep up the good work!- Bill   ;  Thx a lot Bill! and good luck in your projects too!   ;  I guess its supposed to bump the thread ^_^   ;  bumping again   ;  This is just amazing.How confident are you in your programmers? What exactly does SDL have to do with AI?I might be very interested; especially since I immediately fell for your awesome sprite art (the place I work at during the daytime is definitely lacking an artist of your caliber...)   ;  Just giving this a bump - the artwork is great and the concept sounds pretty interesting, good luck with it. [smile]  Have you got much interest so far?   ;  I compose musicThanks
