whao cool can u really chat!?

 

[rm2kdev]

i dont quite think you understand what it does :P its not an internet pokemon game or anyting its a Dream Maker you canmake 2d pokemon epasodes in this that play when you watch them so people can make pokemon movies with it.

 

[DarkDoom3000]

oho... cool its like a movie game !!

 

[rm2kdev]

YEah now your getting it :) after i make this i might concider making a 2d pokemon chat mmorpg nothing where u catch and fight ect just like a 2d chat room where u can explore and make a house or something. idk no plans for that yet

this is awesome, that means I'm gonna be able to make my sprite "comic" more cool now :D.

PS: Are you allowed to use your own tilesets, etc or does it extract them from a ROM or smth?
And another thing is, does it also let um simulate battles? or it only lets u move the characters around and make them talk? although the battles shouldn't be a problem cause u could take care of that with VBA's movie recording thingy :)

 

[rm2kdev]

im glad i am building a small fan base ^^ i myself will be relesing a animated comic using it after its fully made called Pokeyamum :P

in response yes u can use ur own tilesets must be of a specific format tho

for the moment no it doesnt simulate battles but i will most proably implement that in version 2 (note all version 1 movies are compatibal with 2) till then you will have to use VBA's Record Function :P

 

[[_DarkDragon_]]

sweet, ur gonna have some problems with the battle thingy because u would need to rip all attack animations o_o. 'nyways, is the program able to save the movies as AVI or do you need the program to watch the movies made with it? :)

 

[Sorye HK]

I can see that there's been a lot more development since last time.

 

[rm2kdev]

The movies are watched using the Viewer for now but i guess as it gets updated i can lern how to render avi files thus allowing you 2 export to avi this is a later on feature tho for now you use the "GvS - Player" program 2 watch

 

[[_DarkDragon_]]

:D
it is still awesome :P

 

[rm2kdev]

Thank you lol as a matter of fact i just finnished programing in the aviscript ^^ so it can now play avi's

 

[[_DarkDragon_]]

zomg :D
I was gonna ask you that, if it was possible to use some kind of script function to play avi's when u wanted it to. I think that's what you meant when saying "play avi's" or did you mean it can now render it as avi?

EDIT: When are we gonna get to try this awesome program? :D

 

[rm2kdev]

no it can play AVI im not sure on how 2 render them ill have 2 do some reseach is there any other functions you might want to requesT?

 

[[_DarkDragon_]]

sweet, lemme see... being able to use your own charsets and autotiles (although autotiles might be difficult and not that important). Appart from that, being able to play midi/mp3 (if possible) and make some weather effects, like rain, etc.
These are just suggestions :P

 

[rm2kdev]

u can use ur own charsets , facesets and tilesets (auto tiles arnt needed for such small maps because they can be made fast and easly)
Midi / Mp3 / Wav can be played
using 2 sound layers
Ambiant (background music)
Effect (can be used to play narated text or sound effects like a punch ect)

Special Effects i shall lookinto such as partical system and rain ect

 

[[_DarkDragon_]]

How many layers are you allowed to have? :)

 

[QFred]

Seems a good idea!

I don't like the screens very much, neither the quality of the shot, but that won't affect the game itself, will it?

 

[[_DarkDragon_]]

It's not a game :) it's a pokemon "movie maker" with sprites
and as he said you can use your own tilesets, etc. As for the quality I think it was zoomed 2x and that's why it looks crap, when you put it back to original size it will look as in the game :D

 

[Sceptile_Master]

This looks interesting. I'll keep a watch on this.
