KLOWN'S PROFILE

Darken: It makes very little difference, as far as I understand, but a little incentive on their end can do nothing but help. Then again, I may be underestimating the matter severely. Either way I feel there's little to lose. We have some money to spare and if it helps improve the quality of work then we're all for it. Plus learning about distribution and the other nuances of doing a commercial project would do nothing but add to experience in the long run.

Karsuman: Yeah, I was worried about that. What would be the policy about providing a free demo though, because that's the current plan.

We haven't decided whether to go isometric or top-down yet. It seems like a viable option right now, actually, but I'd like to talk to everyone who'll be involved first to find out what everyone will be comfortable working with.

The battle system script actually already comes with the option to have an isometric view so all that really needs doing are the graphics on that end. <3 GubiD for his script. I truly do. 2-3 years ago it was a struggle to find/build a functional tactics system. With that much down, the developing end for this project demands nothing more than finalizing the life sim and conversations systems and fine-tuning the presentation.

Can't say I have. Looks real nice though. I love the art style. The mechs are probably still going to be around to stay. My partner's set on that much. She's confident she'll be able to find a replacement artist with a little PR of her own. We'll see I guess.

On a lighter note, I managed to get back in touch with our old team spriter and he's still very much up for working with us. Much like our character artist ippus, he's improved a great deal since last time, so I absolutely can not wait until I see more of his stuff.

Sample. Created for his own isometric Pokemon project. This is the only sample of his I could find at the moment because stupid Photobucket terminated his account.
