Alter A.I.L.A. Genesis

Hey guys, my computer died (currently using a friend's to post this). It's gonna be a little over 2 weeks before I get full access back. I managed to backup the fandisc so no worries there, but I doubt i'll have time to work on it after 2 weeks since I'm going back to school.

Anyways, see you guys in 2 weeks.

Warning: There are spoilers hidden in this blog about what characters you can use in the game. Reader beware!

I'm currently in the process of putting together a bit of a fandisc-styled side-project based off AAG, and am in need of some opinions.

How the game works, is that the original cast of AAG (plus bonus characters) will be split up into teams of 3, and you'll get to play as one of these teams (though you'll be able to unlock and use the other teams over the course of the game.) The idea is that these teams will stay static. So if you picked a team with Leon, Erin, and Scott for example, then those are the 3 characters you'll stick with unless/until you choose another team later.

Now the question is, how should I split up the characters? There's no doubt that some characters are inherently better than others, though you could argue that it depends on the situation and what's available to you.

Something else to consider, is that I'm thinking of making little 'skits' involving these teams. So if you wanted to see what certain characters might say to certain other characters, maybe I can form a team with those characters.

So with the 20 characters available, I want to make 13 teams, with each character being present in 2 separate teams (without having the same two people be on two teams. So if Leon is on a team with Erin and Jake, then neither Erin nor Jake should be with Leon in another team.) One character will sadly only be on 1 team since the numbers don't match up. For now, I've designated that role to



So I put together some sample team allocations. First example is "Theme" teams. So just some possible configurations:



Otherwise, I could just have completely random teams. For example:



So.. thoughts/ opinions? If you want to suggest certain team configurations, that'd be cool too.

EDIT: Also, save-files game page is now up.

EDIT2: Decided to hide some of the theme team configurations so that it'll be more of a surprise~

I accidentally forgot to change a variable back from when I was testing some things. Because of that, a certain set of late game bosses can be killed in 1 hit. *Sigh...*


I was hoping not to have to do this, but I'm uploading a patch. BEFORE YOU APPLY THE PATCH, MAKE SURE TO SAVE USING ONE OF THOSE BLUE CUBE TERMINALS, OR ELSE YOUR GAME MIGHT FREEZE. If your character graphic disappears afterwards, save a second time using the terminal, and it should reset itself.
Nevermind, I've figured out a way to stop the world map freezing bug. It's not a perfect fix, but it'll do. Also, while we're waiting for the admin to approve the download, here's some alternate links:

Well, people won't read this until after Oct 10th, so let's talk in that tense, even though I'm making this entry before then. Last week, anyone who went to AAG's gamepage got some good ol' anti-climbing paint for their efforts. The reason why was because I wasn't around on October 10th to release this, so I made use of RMN's 'Hide gamepage' feature to remove AAG's page. So that's why the game-page was gone last week. Sorry for the scare!

So yeah, for people reading this, Alter A.I.L.A. Genesis is now officially released! Please try it out, and let me know how it goes!

Sum Gai put together a kick-ass trailer. Check it out!
