Title: Artist needed for MSR!
Post by: Keranu on January 07, 2011, 07:42:05 PM
As many are aware, Mysterious Song has been on the verge of completion for a waaay overdue time now and the only thing holding us back at this point are the cut scenes. Black_Tiger has completed the vast bulk of the cinematic art needed for MSR but there are still three screens needed to finish off the project for good. What we need is a sketcher that is talented enough to recreate a style consistent with Black_Tiger's work so we can implement it and finally get this game out the door!
This position would require NO animation, only digitized sketches depicting outlines of two of the main characters and a portrait of random humans scattered about. Familiarity of the 9-bit color palette is not necessary, we could handle the coloring part ourselves if needed. If anyone is interested in fulfilling this much needed task, or knows anyone that can, please reply to this thread and we will contact you with further information.
Here are some samples of Black_Tiger's excellent work as a reference.
Is her top glued on? How else does it stay on? I can't be the only one wondering this.
In the fashion of RPGs, the only logical explanation is magic!

I'm officially volunteering, since all it needs are digitized sketches (which I'm plenty capable of handling). Here are some of the things I could contribute to the project:
* I would turn the lady up above into a burly man. It's stereotypical for the love interest to be female, so this could be an opportunity to buck the RPG norm. * I'd give the evil knight some form of throat-guard. * Vampire fangs for everyone! (dripping blood could be turned on/off from the options menu)

Believe me brother, I've tried suggesting those ideas to the team before. They turned it down just like this adjustment I made over a year ago:

Paul has already completed the missing backgrounds for the game. Now we just need the three missing drawings to finish the cutscenes. The final builds of the Beta 3 trial will go into testing as soon as the scenes are added. Just about everything else is finished... the only other missing parts are the remainder of the French translation and some tweaks to EX Game, which will happen during the final stretch of the Beta 3 test.
Since Paypal hasn't released the funds yet, I've had to come up with an alternate way of having the disc pressed. I believe a way has been found, but I'll only know when the time comes. Also, the manufacturing won't happen here in PR but in Texas, and will be distributed by a trusted third party in Ohio.

The torches aren't added yet, that's why it looks a bit bland so far. :) It's getting some animated torches soon... Keranu already has then ready, they just have to be included into the battle program, but it's already almost at capacity so I'm in the process of optimizing the code for size.

Post by: esteban on January 19, 2011, 04:05:00 PM
I like this... Contemplative. Forlorn. No, seriously, I like it.
Anyway, I feel that BlackTiger was inspired by none other than Prince Erik (Beyond Shadowgate) (http://archives.tg-16.com/duo_world_0003.htm#t02). Of course, BlackTiger's work is superior. There's just something about the eyes.

Post by: nodtveidt on January 20, 2011, 10:52:18 AM
Cutscene 1 has been completed... only 7 more to go. :D Well... cutscene 1 is as completed as it's going to get for now. It's not quite as nice as it's supposed to be because the first scene is way too complex so I may go back to it and try to perfect it later on, but for now, it's finished. The next one to be completed is the 7th scene.

Post by: nodtveidt on February 14, 2011, 07:35:09 AM
Just a quick heads-up... B_T finished the remaining images, so the cutscenes are finally coming together completely. There is nothing left to draw; it all comes down to code now. It will now require approximately two weeks to bring the game to final beta status. The final beta test will take place the first couple of weeks of March; RC1 is expected by March 10th. We're going to give it a full month of final runs to ensure a bug-free, quality product. Pressing will take place in April, and distribution should begin before May rolls around, depending on how manufacturing goes.

Yeah well I don't give the middle finger to people who wanted to wait till the thing was finished. Which is exactly why I won't open preorders again until the thing goes gold. That moment is rapidly approaching, however. Everyone who orders gets the exact same quality product... the first 100 just get a little something extra. Or should I say six somethings extra.
And ugh... that reminded me of that Eagles song. :P

Sorry but I can't exactly give out the names of those who pre-ordered. :) I can, however, say that the list contains 53 people, and comes to a total of 61 units ordered... a few people ordered extra copies. Most of the orders are from the USA, but a few are from Canada, a few are from France, and then there's orders from Ireland, New Zealand, and Austria.
I wish I knew what happened to Seldane. He was doing kickass work on our secret project, and then it's as if he dropped off the face of the planet. :( Ninja Spirit is still around but I guess he doesn't come here anymore... I still see him on Facebook though. And I think Kaminari tends to stick to the magicengine forums... he was the one who was going to do the French translation of MSR but never did it because he didn't think the game would be finished... and then Armen came in and knocked off the entire script in just a few days, making MSR the very first single-disc tri-lingual PCE game ever. :D

And (at least one) from Australia! (Though my paypal billing address was in the U.S. at the time I pre-ordered, I believe).
BTW, you are going to confirm shipping addresses before you send out, yeah? I moved across coasts since pre-ordering...
Title: Re: Artist needed for MSR!
Post by: nodtveidt on February 15, 2011, 06:45:52 PM
Yes, all shipping addresses will be verified before being sent out. It's the wise thing to do since most of the pre-orders were done in late 2009, and some of the addresses are probably incorrect now.
Title: Re: Artist needed for MSR!
Post by: ParanoiaDragon on February 15, 2011, 07:23:37 PM
It would be neat to see the list of folks who pre-ordered and kept the faith alive :)
For example, did Seldane pre-order? Or Ninja Spirit? Kaminari?
Where have all the flowers gone? :)
Is Seldane even alive? Actually, he is. He pops in once every blue moon over at his Ancient Land of Ys boards, but, it IS really rare. His current name over there is FM-77. It looks like the last time he posted anything was December 8th & 9th. Before that, I think it was atleast 6 months, to a year from his previous activity. http://seldane.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=admin
Ninja Spirit? I thought he's still here on a regular basis...or maybe I haven't paid attention? Kami, yeah, I think he's on ME boards....if at all, hardly any activity there. He's probably mostly on french gaming boards.

I wish Sini would come back but I know it's probably not gonna happen. Poor guy. :(

Say what you will about Nintega, but Sinistron was a great guy and made some great contributions to the community before all the "drama went down." He's welcome back here any time.

Hmm? What happened to him? His participation gradually seemed to get lower until there's not much of him. I thought I saw him post within the past couple months, though.

According to Tatsujin, his father passed away awhile ago and he hasn't really been back since.

He posted a bit after that. I remember him mentioning all of that before he vanished a couple times.
He is an alright dude when he isn't trolling, acting like the only one who knows stuff, or making things personal.

Yeah that has a lot to do with it- after he passed away I just tried to keep my mind occupied as best I could- and in the most therapeutic way I knew how- which was diving into music. I do intend to come back- I do miss a few of you maroons- but I feel for me to be back here while I'm NOT playing PCE is kind of fraudulent. I don't want to be known as just some war-room guy- though surely I'm pretty good at that. I'd like to contribute and my greater contributions were about my thoughts on games, playing them and ripping through them (though not on runin's level). Rest assured my system and games are going nowhere- and I'll be digging it all out again when the time is right. At the moment though I'm up to my ears in making music- playing, programming, writing, performing, recording, mixing, etc., also working on my home life with the Missus and all that jazz. No time for PCE just yet :(
I do come and check out a few threads every so often in the interim (the one with Alex from RisingStuff finally finding his mentions on Encyclopedia Dramatica was a real hoot, and BEST YEAR EVA CLEARANCE SALE and all that lulziness)- very happy to see Ceti beat Bikkuriman World- that's a forking tough yet worthwhile game.
I'll be back- and I guess that everyone other than the "three or four people" that turbofan1 mentions can take that as some sort of threat? Who are you again? turbofan1- as in the first turbo fan? What a n00b I must seem to someone as ancient and primary as you... Or is turbofan1- as in I'm-so-goddamn-colorless-and-drab-that-I-can't-think-of-a-more-generic-name-for-myself? I'll be back- and I'll be sure to have some fun with you in particular, sweetheart.

The best part was him using the term "bro" , which drives the point home even better.

Dude! During my hiatus(es), I would check out the forum... but when I didn't see any posts from you, I said, "DAMN, where is Sinistron?"
Good to hear from you. Good luck with everything.
When you come back here, be sure to give me a holla if I'm M.I.A. :)

Can someone please point me to these threads because I missed all of this stuff. Thanks.
