MotK Emblem (FE hack) - HELP NEEDED INQUIRE WITHIN

[trancehime]

Ha ha, old chap! irc The IRC channel is at #EasyFE on irc.dejatoons.net for easy access from #touhou-meido, though if there are issues I can move to PPIRC for use w/ webchat

Well first thing's first, we have to decide who's going to get involved in what - we need writers, character/boss info stuff, perhaps spriters and map makers. We'll also need hackers. I saw a lot of interest in this in the IRC channel, though it was mostly people calling dibs on certain classes. Well, it'd be a pretty good idea to start with plots and shit, I'll edit this opening post with pertinent information.

If you plan to be in this (I'll probably make a shitty self-insert too) please say so. Also try and calculate your own stats, there should be some utilities on the 'net if you Google enough.

The main concern is PLOTS and MAPS and SPRITES though. We can work out the mechanics later.

A land where people of all races and cultures live in peace. For years, Emotke has been this land, existing relatively peacefully.
To the west lies Tearc, the largest and most populated country of Emotke.
To the east lies Arpege, a land known throughout the continent for its games.
Finally, to the north lies Cipriam Ci, the youngest country of the three.
Hundreds of years ago, all of Emotke was ruled by Tearc. Tearc ruled with an iron fist, until a band of rebels decided to fight back.
A war broke out, and through the valiant efforts of the rebels, Tearc was reduced to a fraction of its former size.
These rebels would soon become the founders of Arpege, and so the war was named the Arpegean War.
In recent times, some citizens still hold a grudge against Tearc, and vice versa. However, these feelings have never surfaced, and life goes on.
About fifty years ago, Cipriam Ci was created. It is small, but has growing steadily since its creation.
While peace has reigned in Emotke for centuries, that peace is starting to enravel, and relations are strained between Tearc and Arpege.
Answering the call of their citizens, the leaders of Tearc and Arpege meet to address the situation...

[Rikter]

In as myrmidon i'll also help with stat calc stuff just lemme dig some up.

[Zengar Zombolt]

I was going to say "I'll manage heights" and then I realized It wasn't FFT. :V
So yeah, sign me up for mapmaking. Tell me when do you want it and what's the general idea for the stage, and I'll do it.

[Sana]

I'd like to be a Pegasus Knight : D


Also, maybe we should make an IRC channel to work on the plot and stuff?

[communist unity (comm-unity)]

I'm calling a mage/shaman/mercenary. If I'm a random boss, the promoted versions of these dudes.

Throw me a stat calculator and I'll try to do the math. I might throw a few maps out once everything's straightened out if I'm particularly good at FE mapping.

[Gpop]

I never played Fire Emblem (I was always planning on doing so but I lacked any motive on getting the game itself >_>), but I'm interested in being in this game.

[Rikter]

Actually I liked making up FE maps back in the day so i'll help with that to0 as i said on IRC

[Stuffman]

No wait, I revise my earlier desire to be a general.

I want to be the same as in Ijiyatsu, I want to be a generic enemy in Chapter 1 with no dialogue.

[trancehime]

IMPORTANT VOTE

FE7 or FE8 as the base?

This is a very important question as it affects mechanics amongst other things.

I expressed desire for FE8 due to flexibility but FE7 has the pro of actually being English-editable.

Pick please

[Stuffman]

Unless you want to do all the work yourself I'd suggest FE7, then.

[Rikter]

This is a hard choice just how much more freedom do we get with FE8?

[theshirn]

FE7, it's a better game. :V

Nah, whichever works.  I guess with no knowledge of the actual hacking I'll vote FE7 out of preference.  Also, this project is AWESOME.  And I call in as a mage.

I can likely do more for mechanics/stat calculations/mapmaking etc. than I can for sprites or hacking, but I'd love to get in on this!

[Furienify]

I'd agree with FF7 as well for ease of use.

[theshirn]

I'd agree with FF7

FF7

BURN THE HERETIC

[trancehime]

Since the general majority either seem to know more about FE7 or prefer it more, we might as well just use that.

It would make certain processes run by faster and there would be more motivation for it. So pertinent tools must be for FE7, use the FE7 Nightmare Modules etc.

[Seian Verian]

In as a Manakete

... <_< >_>

If that's not possible, I guess I could settle for Mercenary, Myrmidon, or Mage. Or a Wyvern Rider that uses swords instead of lances xP

[GMOFucker: Makin' GMOs To Fuck 'Em]

Hey I didn't notice there was a topic :V

Are we using Iji designs for everybody or making stuff up? 'cause this is called Ijiyatsu Emblem and all according to the title.

If this is FE7 then I'd like to be a prepromote Sniper. Or a Monk -> Bishop if Snipers are too useless. I dunno.

What are we gonna do for supports?

[Nobu]

Could you just call it 'MotK Emblem' or something to avoid confusion?

[Chaore]

Dibs on thief? :V

[COPIRIGHTO]

/in as generic soldier that promotes into an archsage

[Seian Verian]

Could you just call it 'MotK Emblem' or something to avoid confusion?

Emblem of the Kaleidoscope?

[Moerin]

* Moerin checks thread and sees no-one's called main villain yet.

So... Yeah~  Calling main villain, if that's okay~

...If not, uh, one of the main characters, I dunno.

[Furienify]

BURN THE HERETIC

Shit. I'm tired. 

[Toasty]

Calling character of importance. Preferably evil. Good is fine too. And I need a tear jerker death.

[trancehime]

We can all sort out who gets what roles when we decide on a storyline

As of now, we have agreed on FE7 due to convenience. This means we won't have manaketes unless we figure out a way to hack them in somehow.

Please help us out in #EasyFE on DejaToons!

[Pesco]

I wanna be Stuffman's mook buddy. Just because you're posting this in RPG instead of Projects.

[Fightest]

Calling character of importance. Preferably evil. Good is fine too. And I need a tear jerker death.

Pff, everyone gets one if they get killed. Surely?

Calling in as a mid-game Hero pre-promo. That doesn't suck.

[trancehime]

I wanna be Stuffman's mook buddy. Just because you're posting this in RPG instead of Projects.

I wasn't entirely sure where this would go because this has nothing to do with Danmakufu unlike Ijiyatsu >_>

[Pesco]

I don't really know either. I suppose once the game is all nicely hacked andm you did the LP, it would be here.

[trancehime]

As an aside for those who are going to do stat calculations on their own:

Playable Pre-Promotes should divvy up 300% worth of stat growth
Example:
<insert my self-insert here> - Troubadour - 70/40/40/70/35/5/40 = 300

Playable Non-Promotes have up to 280% worth of stat growth
Example:
<insert my self-insert here> - Valkyrie - 60/35/35/60/40/10/40 = 280

Bosses... we'll deal with you somehow :3c
