ASHLEY_LACURE'S PROFILE

Hey everybody Im working on a boss for my game and ran into a problem I could not overcome myself. I am currently looking for anyone who has experience with pixel art and could potentially sprite a giant boar as well as a giant bird. Ive included example below and these sprites will be used in RPGmaker 2003. I would prefer if these sprites to be created to fit the RPGmaker 2k RTP. If you can assist me you will be paid for your work if necessary.



Thank You,
Ashley

Developer's Spot: Whenever I'm not working or working on my game I have ideas and questions that I would like to share with others. But because very few of my school/work friends are interested in game development I never get the chance. These Developer Spots will be a means of communicating with other developers about mechanics and ideas in games. Please feel free to participate and if you like to talk about these kind of things or your game in general feel free to PM me.



What is the purpose of NPC's? By definition they are Non-Playable Characters and they possess a variety of uses that range from the population of cities to contribution to a games story and central plot. But my question really deals with the role that they play in your games. NPCs are indeed crucial to the story as not every character presented can be a playable character (Chrono Cross nearly made this possible) but why are these NPCs so intertwined in your party's quest to save the world? Why do they lurk around enemy hot spots and sell you items just in the nick of time? Why are they always so helpless and if not helpless, is it necessary for these characters to join you party?



In Short:

• What is the purpose of NPCs in your games?

• How does your story affect the lives of these NPCs?

• Do all characters who appear useful have to join your party?

• What is the purpose of NPCs in town?

• Why bother giving Bob the Farmer dialog if he has no life outside of "The weather is great today" *Move Event: Bob, Move Right, Move Right, Move Left, Move Left*?

These are just a few questions I had for myself last night when populating one of my games towns, also why the hell do NPCs just let you come into their houses and take their stuff? If you cant think of anything, this is one of my personal favorite articles on this site.

Working on a new site for a project and I would like assistance in making a site logo, favicon and a few buttons. Please Message me for more information but know that you will be compensated for your work and I would really only advise talented artists to message me.

In terms of guidelines for the project I will discuss them in detail with the artists that message me but the logo would be created in photoshop and will be a vector image. The project is very important to me and I would appreciate the help.

Thank You

No sure if you all are fans or not but the English trailer for Resident Evil 6 is out. Im a big RE fan so I figured Id post it.

Intro: When I work on my game I like to listen to game OSTs, they keep me focused, often are added to the game and provide ideas for mapping in terms of mood. So if any of you have any good OST suggestions please post them here. I'd prefer RPG OSTs, but I will listened to MGS's OST on occasion. Help keep my creative drive going.

Currently Listening To: Star Ocean 2 OST and Wild Arms 2 OST
