Awesome, I'll add you to the team. Right now there's no rush to get things done so work at your own leisure. We'll pick things up as time goes on and the team is bigger. Oh, an expect an update to the Semblii sheet later today.

Howdy folks! It's your old pal Xra and I've got the opportunity for [I]you[/I]! Y'see, I've been brainstorming and putting effort towards creating a high quality flash game, being referred to now as [center][IMG]http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/995/projectsembliiuw8.png[/IMG] [/center] Project Semblii, a stylized action/platformer that uses both genres together in a competitive vision rarely seen before. The game stars [URL="http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/2060/sembliied0.png"][Semblii][/URL], a children's toy that was originally meant to teach kids early robotics as they assembled and reassembled this adorable toy. However, shortly after Semblii went into production, scientists had finally pushed robot AI to it's highest potential. Their newfound intelligence has given them the power to [B]take over mankind[/B]. ... [I]But what about the children?[/I] Needless to say, Semblii must stop the invasion in order to protect those snot-nosed wonderbags. To describe how the game plays out, I've made two crappy concept pictures. The first is Play Mode: [URL="http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/5673/sembliiplaymodevs6.jpg"][Play Mode][/URL] Play Mode Semblii has the protagonist running and jumping like in the platformers of old. This is is main tool of getting through the level on time, but some enemies and obstacles might be too hard to traverse with just your feet. [URL="http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/619/sembliiattackmodemf3.jpg"][Attack Mode][/URL] Attack Mode Semblii opens up his back to reveal customizable guns for quick and powerful ranged blasts. He also pulls in his legs to hover and dodge enemy attacks in the air. The main problem here is that Attack Mode Semblii alone is too slow to clear a stage. Using both modes strategically will be key to beating this game. Anyhoo, now that I took the time to propose the game, I need to request assistance from the vector artists and designers out there. [B]We need enemies, bosses, stages, and item creators[/B]. I'm too busy working on Semblii himself and soon the programming process, which is why I've been putting together this development team to help me. So far, I've got: [center][B]Creative Director and Lead Programmer[/B] Xra [B]Boss Artists [I]These folks get to design and create the giant robotics that head the enemies on their stages. Make em easy on the eyes and quick to animate! (We might be good here now. :])[/I] [/B][I]Joel(Not on this forum) Matt(Not on this forum)[/I] [I]Uncle Shig(Not on this forum)[/I] ~ [B]Enemy Artists [I]These folks design and create the generic robots who litter the stages. They can range from tiny to huge so make 'em as they come to you. Easy on the eyes and quick to animate.[/I] [/B] brokenh3art [I]Suzanna(Not on this forum) Theo(Not on this forum) [/I] - [B] - Stage Designers [I] These guys have to be super creative, making stages and obstacles for Semblii to overcome. We'll have to work together to ensure they offer a challenge and use his abilities to the fullest. I'll include [U]Background Artists[/U] here as well. Stages should be clean and you Background artists... can go nuts. [/I][/B][i]Mike(Not on this forum)[/i][B] - - Audio [I]These folk are working on the soundtrack and any sound effects as they're needed. We should be good here.[/I] [/B][I]John(Not on this forum) DSX(Not on this forum) Nick(Not on this forum)[/I] [B]Voicework [I]I'm gonna be a stickler here. The audio recordings should be crystal clear, no crackling or muffle. VA's will be judged based on sample work and the character they wish to voice. [/I][/B]- - [LEFT]To make this an effective collaboration, we all need to work together and share ideas. I tried to make Semblii as simple and appealing as possible so the style can be copied by anyone. Easy, no? And just to display what's finished/in the works: [URL="http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sembliisheethv7.swf"][Semblii Animations Sheet][/URL] by Xra [URL="http://www.box.net/shared/gqpycnh6mh"][Stage 1 concept music][/URL] by [I]John [URL="http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/2264/zembullxu2.jpg"][Zembull Concept Sheet][/URL][/I] by[I] Joel [/I][URL="http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/9937/zembullcolorln3.png"][Zembull Vector Concept][/URL] by Xra And that should do it. Lend a hand and join the Semblii team. Let's make this game [I]awesome[/I]. [/LEFT] [/center]

[quote name='Desbreko][color=indigo']So please keep this in mind while posting in this and like threads in the future. Thanks. ^_^[/color][/quote] Sure thing Des. :rolleyes: Anyway, I thought about this question for quite a bit and remember not only the first system and game I played, but also the first video game I'd ever seen. Anyway, I was about 3 or 4(something I can't place my finger on yet) and I was bored of watching TV. So, I waddled over to my brother's room. He and three of his friends were playing this football game for the Snes and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Before I could get closer though, my brother(who is around 20 at this point) pushed me out of his room and locked the door. This made me much more curious about this machine, so I peaked my eye through the doorhole. Wouldn't ya know it, my bro decides to spray cologne(sp) in my eye thinking I was trying to speak through the doorhole...ouch:blackeye: Now for the first Video Game I ever [i]Played [/i]takes place in Pennsylvania when I was 5(or 6). I was over my Aunt and Uncle's house. They really didn't have to much to offer me to keep me entertained...except my cousin's(who was conveiniently out) new Sega Genesis. My Uncle put out all the games he had in front of me, and I chose teh c00l cartridge with the blue spikey dude on it. He put away the other games, put in Sonic, and turned it on. I was left to figure out the controls for myself... And lemme tell ya, it took me 3 hours to beat the first act and [i]know[/i] all the controls...:o

"My Hip!" ...i coulda done better >.>

Heh, I thought this would be pretty interesting to see. Alright, lets see a beautiful banner with a cake, a cookie, a Baker's hat, a spoon, and the attached image of Xra. Perhaps a deep blue background, and the words "I mixed, I made, I baked..." would be nice too. also, if you could fit it, my name in any color in the bottom right corner. This must be a funny sight:rolleyes: [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=19833&stc=1[/img]

[i]"I am the Baker I bake the cake Make no mistake, I like to bake Once I discover My innate behavior To mix, to make, to bake! Up in the morning To start my work I cannot help wanting to bake a dessert Like a gladiator About to meet his fate I enter my arena, bow my head and start to bake! Flour, Sugar, Milk, I send out for more An unsung hero I need no reward A short vacation I?d like to take After I bake a chocolate cake Sometimes It?s mighty lonely When you?re all alone (With a loaf of bread) But I?m just doing my job The best that I can So the children can be fed (B!)

[size=2]Saru walked along happily, playing Arc in a jovial jubilee. He knew this was important, but it didn't have to be such a stiff adventure. The Elder told him to meet the other warriors at a [i]fountain of controlling powers.[/i] Wherever this was, he was definatley sure the wind would guide him.[/size] [size=2]Today was actually a gloomy day, despite his mood. The clouds made the world seem like an empty grey and there were very few birds out. As far as Saru was concerned, any day with the birds and the wind was a good day.[/size] [size=2][/size] [size=2]The winds billowed his hair foward, towards a big mountain.[/size] [size=2][/size] [b][size=2][color=gray]"Well, that don't seem good, does it...aye..."[/color][/size][/b] [b][size=2][color=#808080][/color][/size][/b] [size=2][color=black]Saru was pushed faster and towards the mountain. The winds were relentless on nothing else but him. As quick as he may, he hid Arc in his sack before smacking against the foot of the mountain.[/color][/size] [size=2][color=#2f4f4f][/color][/size] [size=2][color=gray][b]*rumble rumble rumble* *rrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaah*[/b][/color][/size] [b][size=2][color=#808080][/color][/size][/b] [size=2][color=black]The mountain collapsed and tumbled apart into huge boulders. Saru slowly got up and rubbed his head in pain. It took him a bit before he noticed the mass of rocks about to fall on top of him. Quickly, he took out Ren and started playing at the rocks. It wasn't long before he was covered in a mile of dust.[/color][/size] [size=2][/size] [center][size=2]~~~20 minutes later~~~[/size][/center] [center][size=2][/size] [/center] [left][size=2]The food and the flutes Saru had were safely preserved in his sack. Everything else was a pure grey, a coat of boulder dust. He managed to get it out of his eyes to see past where the mountain was. He saw a nice sized village with a huge fountain straight ahead. Was this where he had to go?[/size][/left]

[size=2][quote name='Salemcigman']I can most relate to Coroporal Giroro of "Sgt. Frog", he's so mean to everyone is always plotting something evil, also he loves his guns![/quote][/size] [size=2][/size] [size=2]Keroro calls him a wuss :p [/size] [size=2][/size] [size=2][/size] [size=2]Alright, if I were to compare myself to any anime characters they would be Private Tamama from Sgt. Frog and Yoh from Shaman King.[/size] [size=2][/size] [size=2]Private Tamama-his split personality and emotions definatley fit me. The emotional part especially when im hyper.[/size] [size=2][/size] [size=2]Yoh-His carefree nature definatley fits when im calm and relaxing.[/size]

[size=2]Hey, what about me? Hehehe...[/size] [size=2][/size] [color=silver][size=2][b]Name:[/b] Saru[/size][/color] [color=#c0c0c0][size=2][b]Age:[/b] 16[/size][/color] [color=#c0c0c0][size=2][b]Description:[/b] A slender build with a height of 6"5, abnormal for his age. Golden skin with a long face. His eyes glow a bright green. His hair flows down to his neck in a light blue. His long arms are covered in scars and burns, and the same for his legs. He sports raggedy olive slacks and t-shirt. He has a sack on his back filled with food and his 3 flutes.[/size][/color] [color=#c0c0c0][size=2][b]Bio:[/b] If you were looking at the descriptive description above and think he is a serious guy, heh, I tricked you:p . Saru, although a goodhearted guy who knows when its time to be serious, has a destructive "nature". He came from a good family, brought up in a good community, but alway left something broken behind him.[/size][/color] [size=2][color=#c0c0c0]The Elder was concerned, not only with all the mishaps going on around the world, but with the destruction Saru was accidentally causing to the village. So, he sent him out to be one of the warriors questing to regain peace. After all, even with his bad karma, he was one of the best. Before he left, his uncle gave him the three family flutes: Arc of healing, Ren of pain, and the Judgement. It was then Saru realized how serious this was.[/color][/size] [color=#c0c0c0][size=2][b]Element:[/b] Wind[/size][/color] [color=#c0c0c0][size=2][b]Weapons:[/b] Arc of Healing-when played, wind lightly cuts enemies.[/size][/color] [size=2][color=#c0c0c0] Ren of Pain-when played, wind forcefully strikes and pushes enemy[/color][/size] [size=2][color=#c0c0c0] Judgement-when played, annhilates everything within a 5 mile radius including the user[/color][/size] [color=#c0c0c0][size=2][b]Magic:[/b] Arc of healing-when the special tune is played, wind soothes all wounds.[/size][/color] [size=2][color=#c0c0c0] Ren of Pain-when the special tune is played, wind levitates those in the immediate area for as long as the flute is played[/color][/size] [size=2][color=#c0c0c0][/color][/size] [size=2][color=black]So, can Saru come out and play?[/color][/size]
