Development Forum Soooo... anybody want to collaborate?    generalflame      4/30/2013 Basically, I want to contribute more, but my skills are somewhat limited (as is my time, so any projects could take a few months to finish seeing as the Fairyfloss took me six years because I suck) I'm decent with graphics and pretty terrible at everything else, but I'd really like to make something for CCSF this year. It could be a new breed, metaroom, agent pack, just about anything really, but I have no genetics skillz and know very little coding. SO, anybody want to help me out here?   Wee Scrivener Trell     4/30/2013 I can do a wee bit of genetics, but even I'm still learning. As for coding, I can't code my way out of a paper bag. Trell "Holy crap in a casket!"   Patient Pirate ylukyun Manager   4/30/2013 I can help you with coding and/or genetics if it's not too complicated. What did you have in mind?   generalflame   4/30/2013 Let's see, this is a list of things that I had planned to get around to at some point. Most of them are big jobs and could definitely benefit from having more than one person working on them. Clownfish Norn - Aquatic, heavily outlined white stripes, rounded fins Caribou Norn - Antlers, thick fur, ivory and taupe colors, sturdy build, cold resistant C3 Uninorns C3/DS Plantain Norns -Original C1 Banana Norn, sleek body style with spots. Males ruddy color, small horns on head. Females gold-tan, prominent eyelashes. Blue eyes both genders. Tapered tails Tapered, lop ears. C3/DS Leprechaun Norn -Original C1 White Haired Pixie. Generally more fluffy appearance. Both genders exhibit fluffy white hair, rabbit like tails and booted feet. Males have lop ears, blue eyes, green double stripes on arms. Females have fan ears, brown eyes, wide brown 'bracelets.' C3/DS Mustang Norns -Original C1 Horse Norn Both genders have chocolate brown fur, tapered tails, boot shaped feet, pointed ears, green eyes. Males have small horns, brown spiky 'mohawk' hair. Females have sleek blonde hair, eyelashes. Steampunk Metaroom Islands Metaroom - Metaroom made of 3-4 islands with oceans between. Islands connect by ropes bridges, underwater tunnels. Lush and tropical, ancient temple with multiple floors, tropical birds and fish. Parrots? Stingrays? Moar Garden Box Decor Pieces - Individual trees and bushes that patch plants can be placed over, groups of flowers, hanging vines   Sanely Insane RisenAngel Manager     4/30/2013 My interest here is piqued, depending on what it is you plan on doing. I'm capable of doing both CAOs and genetics. I've been looking to get out a metaroom this year to keep up my streak from the last couple years, so I wouldn't be opposed to helping you out with one. Edit: And I got ninja'd, so I'm going to comment on the above list. I love both the Clownfish Norn and the Islands (Archipelago?) Metaroom ideas, and would be willing to help you out with either of those (or even both, if you're feeling really ambitious). ~ The Realm ~ Risen Angel's Creatures Blog   Patient Pirate ylukyun Manager   4/30/2013 I've been wanting to create something for the Garden Box for a while so I'd be very interested in helping you out with that.   generalflame   4/30/2013 Oooh, I like Archipelago for a name. They would make an excellent pairing too. If I got started right away I think I could manage to get it all done. Edit: The Garden Box stuff is a smaller deal, so I'm sure we could work that out too.   Prodigal Sock Ghosthande     4/30/2013 Caribou Norns! I love the idea, I was just thinking on the car ride home how it would be nice to have Norns with big antlers. I'm a lot better on the spriting side than gengineering (especially compared to folks like GM), so I'm sure you don't need my help, but if you're looking for votes as to what people are most interested in seeing first... that would be mine.   Bifrost   5/1/2013 Haha. You're thinking of the exact opposite of an idea I have; you're thinking of turning C1 breeds into C3/DS norns with C3/DS graphics; I'm thinking, why not try remaking (some of) the C3/DS norns with more C1 styled graphics. =P   magpie-angel     5/1/2013 i vote for the caribou norns :3 i don't have spriting, genetic or anything other then breeding experience so i can't help but if you need testers for any of the breeds i'd be happy to help   Bifrost   5/1/2013 Your metarooms could work as parts of Albian ReGenesis. A teleporter, or even a door at the top of the volcano, could lead the creatures to the ocean Archipelago. And that could be where you'd find a tiny nest of abandoned clownfish norn eggs... The Steampunk room could be accessible from the house or the caves underneath the house, and contain all kinds of funny machinery, some ettins and maybe even leprechaun norns (or a ReGenesis styled mix between pixie norns and the C2 ettin - leprechaun ettins). Other breeds could be "native" to other added parts; tundra beneath the purple mountains could hold caribou norns, a deeper garden beyond the original gardens could border to some nice plains, and hold the mustang norns. Wanna merge your project with mine? We could make the clownfish norns based on a mix of C1 styled norns and the C2 mernorns, redone with the stripes and rounded fins, and give it all out as one large world, either at once, or as a series of worlds, objects and breeds...   generalflame   5/1/2013 Bifrost: As much as I would love to be a part of a gigantic and ambitious project, I know myself well enough to know that I would burn out and abandon it all if there was too much going on. Plus, I'm not a huge fan of mixing the C1 graphics with the other games (styles are too conflicting for me,) which means I'd want to tear everything down and rebuild it from scratch in MAX, which is crazy talk. I work in C3/DS style exclusively, which seems to be exactly the opposite of what you're going for. If I were to complete anything that happened to work well with Albian ReGenesis, I would be totally fine with them being linked together, but I'd rather not make any promises that I know I'm unlikely to keep.   Sanely Insane RisenAngel Manager     5/1/2013 If you're willing to accept my assistance for Islands/Archipelago and the Clownfish Norns, I could send you a message and we could go from there rather than cluttering up this topic. Unless you want to take a vote like some other posters seem to think you do, which in that case I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm opposed to merging any of these projects with Albia ReGenesis, however. Very opposed. I guess it's a good idea in theory, but on top of flame's reasoning Albia ReGenesis was working perfectly fine as its own project in my humble opinion, and I'd rather these projects remain their own thing (especially the Clownfish Norns - C3/DS is sorely lacking in decent aquatic breeds in its own style). ~ The Realm ~ Risen Angel's Creatures Blog   Bifrost   5/2/2013 I see your points, and I think you're right; the projects would be too big if merged, and the styles wouldn't match at all. It was a fun thought though. Love the link, GM. The ideas you've got here are really good, and I really hope to see them downloadable.
