Updating...

Sorry about the delay people.
It's been a while since I posted last but alot of has happened!

-We were finally able to have a successful team meeting where alot was clarified and discussed.
Although not everyone was able to attend I am still content with what happened.

-I have implemented the whole game with the clutter tree tiles and fixed all of the maps to make them look more attractive.

-Mxxai is finally back and with a vengeance!
Where was he? well he will not say...

-I have started working on tiles for a sip area that will be occur soon after Harmony Shores. But that all I will talk about that for now. Can't spoil you guys too much!
How ever I have posted a small screen shot on the forum so if any of you would like to check it head on over there now.
http://forum.starmen.net/forum/Fan/Games/EarthBound-3-VX/page/1/

-Also I have been experimenting with the color scheme of the sprites.
I have been deliberating whether to switch from tradition to real world colors.
I have posted an example on the forum for those who would like to comment.

-And HuskyInDenial is working on a secret musical project. I'll elaborate on that later!

That's it for now.
Again sorry for the lack of updates but since school started it's been tough to find free time.

Gaming Update!

Hey everyone!
How do you like our new template? Pretty EXCELLENT! don't you all think?

Anyways here is your update:
-Development of Harmony Shores is about 90% complete, just gotta finish up a cutscene or two and it's done!

-A lone Scripter by the name of Modern Algebra has fixed a special script which will be used in the battle system for Ralph. I'll inform you all on the a bit more later on!

-Also the clutter tree tiles are starting to be applied to current maps and MAJOR changes will be done to the beginning half of the game to make it more player friendly and attractive!

-Bad news in our scripting department, Our scripter was forced to quit due to personal life and academic life reasons so we are on the look for another one.
If anyone would like that position just contact us here or on the forum.

-Talking about looking for people, Yami Mono will temporary be out of commission for most of the summer. If anyone would like to briefly take her place as Battle Spriter contact us here or on the forum!

-One last thing, we have come up with alot of costume enemies for EarthBound 3, they have been posted on the forum. Check 'em out and tell us what you think!

Well that's about it for now, later I will post a couple of screen shots for you guys and maybe even a couple of those costume enemies I talked about earlier.
Until next time!

Summer Break!

Summer is upon us and I am now free for the next few months!
Which means that I am also free to develop the game more. Hopefully by the end of my/our summer break we'll be atleast close to the half way point. A long feat, but let's see how it all goes!

Also one concerned fan by the name of AbnormalHairGrowth has agreed to join our team as an Environmental Tile Spriter or "Tiler".
While MXXai is learning how to do the same but with buildings, and some environment as well.
Let's hope this duo pulls through, I have high hopes for them for sure!

Well that's about it for now.

GAMING UPDATE!

Okay guys it's been a while, but alot has happened!

-The New Caterpillar script work 99% perfect, just a tweak or two will make it work.

-Fox has found us a guy who is currently working on a List of 5 Core scripts the we REALLY need and another list of 5 scripts that we want for the game.
These scripts include:
Pixel Movement, gradual decrease and increase of health, Better battle message window and battle animations when you miss or you evade an attack.

- Still on Fox, he also got someone to do some concept art for the Governing Star general.
For those of you who would like to see the Concept art of the General and Son just follow this link!
http://averagejoey543.deviantart.com/art/Earthbound-3-General-161732090

-Upon one of my script requests has been to rename a skill. And thank goodness a kind scripter created one for us. Which means now you can rename the PSI Special that Son uses upon starting a new game!

-And one of our spriters MXXai has been working on a possible graphics update!
and a couple of tiles as well. I see great power within this one LOL!

Well that's it for now, and remember if you want up to date info on EarthBound 3 just head over to http://forum.starmen.net/forum/Fan/Games/EarthBound-3-VX/page/1/

Gaming Update!

Great new everyone!
We now have 3 new scripts that gives the game the ability to make the Characters walk and run in diagonal formations!
That's right! From now on the game will offer diagonal movement during game play!
Screen shots will come soon enough, we just need to fix up all the sprites we need for it!

And it's all thanks to our buddy *Modern Algebra* who pointed me in the right direction!

This is just one step closer to getting that complete EarthBound feeling we have been going for!


Until next time!

Musical Update!

Hey everyone, It's been a while since our last update.
But we finally have some worth while stuff to post up so here ya go!

Our Composer HuskyInDenial has brought to us some fantastic new compositions that will be used in the game.
They sound great and we can't wait to see what he dishes out next!

Take some time and listen to them and when you're done comment on them!

-The final product of String City, with a guitar solo by Ping Rose of Velvet Transit:

-A preview of Harmony Shores (MIDI drum loops still in place, no melody):
http://www.huskyindenial.com/music/eb3/harmonyshores.mp3

-I also went back and redid the drums and messed with amplifiers on Violen Town. See what you think. I like it, except for the open hi-hat. I think I’m going to change it. More suggestions welcome!
http://www.huskyindenial.com/music/eb3/violen%20town10.mp3

-Finally, a little random something I threw together around Christmas time. It has a certain Earthbound charm, but I don’t know how you’d use it. I like it, though.

Happy New years!

I know It's late but still, Happy 2010 people.

And with a new year comes new faces. Our greatest fan Fox4729 has found us a new Scripter!
His name Majora4 and with his help this game will become more dynamic!
And since Fox4729 has helped so much and promises to continue it's only fair to give him a good spot on our team as a Recruitment Agent!

Congratz buddy!


Screenies of our progress will be posted soon so stay put!
