Antioch Wars, Online Life, and RPGClassics...oh my!

Okay, welcome back. Now that you’re caught up…

AW, from the beginning of the project almost two years ago, has had big plans for the folks from Online Life. This was a natural thing, since the big villain in AW is the infamous Peer that had a starring role in OL. Before that, for those familiar with your old-skool RM2k games, Peer made his first big appearance in the RPG The IRC Project, which I THINK can still be found over at Gaming World. But anyways, a couple of the heroes from that campaign made their way into OL briefly to help them fight Peer, so it seemed only natural to have the OL guys appear in AW to help take on Peer again.

A lot has changed for AW, and OL, in the last two years. AW has become a multi-chapter project, and we’re only up to Chapter 2. OL has moved over here to RPGC.

So, here’s the deal. Partially because of OL’s tightness with RPGC (and the fact that most OL characters are staffers over here), partially because of my growing familiarity with this place, and partially because the AW plot has been shaken up a bit, RPGClassics will now have a broader role in Antioch Wars, probably starting late in Chapter 2 or sometime in Chapter 3 (out of 4, MAYBE 5, chapters). Many cool things could come about from having RPGC in the game. :ah-ha!:

Now for those who didn’t play the original AW Chapter 1 release, the two main communtities that have appeared so far (Online Life and Antioch) have been physical locations on the worldmap, with the forums appearing as rooms inside the buildings. RPGC would be the same way, only there would be more non-forum areas to explore. I already have some idea of who I’d want to represent this place, but I was wondering if there were any pre-existing sprites for staffers or forum regulars already. (Keep in mind that the game takes place about two years to a year and a half ago, so it should obviously be folks around back then.) Additionally, if there have been any RM2k-compatible maps created to represent areas of RPGC, or there are any staffers who would like to make such maps (as SpoonyBard did for Online Life HQ), it would be nice to have those as well. In return for contributions, you will recieve lavish praises on the site and in the game itself (beginning in the chapter in which your material appears, of course). Major contributions will also get a sneak peek at that chapter’s material.

Remember, this would start at the end of the chapter we have just begun work on, if not the chapter AFTER that, so there’s no big rush. Also keep in mind that not all contributions may be used. We can and will be creating new sprites or using pre-existing ones for a number of folks we already have in mind, so there are only a few slots for NPCs open.

Sorry for how long this all took, but I wanted to get the idea in people’s heads ahead of time so that we have everything in order come RPGC’s appearance.

Oh, and staffers: certainly, if there is any problem with ANY of this, please notify me immediately and I’ll take steps to fix whatever is troubling.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled forum insanity, already in progress. Thank you.

<img src=“http://www.rpgclassics.com/staff/tenchimaru/td.gif”> I think Hiei has a sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetload of RPGC Staffer/regular sprites of ~2 years ago, due to making RPGC Densetsu. Been a while since we heard of him though. And you’d better have a lot of idling people in the “chatroom” :stuck_out_tongue:

And heeeeeeere come the cameo requests.

I’m sure.

:wave: I been here since 1986 put me in plzthx.

:ulty: I’m a perfect candidate! I work for Macc and I already have a theme and everythi–AAAAAAAAAAAGH!!! falls through a trapdoor
Silly Ultros. Cameos are for kids.

Lotta (alright, two) RPGs crawlin’ out 'o the woodwork recently. Is it a wave?

And

OMG PUT MI INIT CUZ I AM UBERL33T KTHXBI

The Zero and Yar sprites are cool also. Nice image translation job!

Hmm, I remember this thing, I played the first one, it was pretty good, and I am a HUGE fan of OL, with all the plushie powers I’ve created for each OL character. (Haven’t created for the villians yet, but I"m on it…)

Anyway, seems cool. & yes, you’d need a LOT of random sprites for chatters in the chatroom. In fact, make the freakin chatroom a town. lol

If you need anyone to help with bgs, since I make pretty trippy bgs, give me a ring.

And you could problably get the sprites you’re looking for in the chat. The people you might be wanting should be in there now & then.

BTW, I existed here back then, just in a less hated form. I used to be Sephiroth252, if you rememebr the purple Sephiroth at all…

Anyway, seems cool. Keep up the good work, and Spoony will be here, in all his greatness (hey, I LOVE OL) most problably soon.

I already have a cameo. So there.

Yes Yar, I read your brio, you’re cool & stuffs, but I’ve never got around to reading youyr comics, are they as good as Spoony’s?

RPGC Densetsu? As in Seiken Densetsu?

kinda, Hiei has been supposedly working on this RM2K game for about 3 years now…I wonder how he’s going…

Anyways, check out the shrines in the PC section if you want some more info.

Don’t listen or accept help from Uriel in any way, shape, or form. And I would like to shamelessly plug myself.


The walking and other sprites that would go on the map are in the lower left corner if you can’t tell. And Uriel, keep your dirty hands away from my sprites.

Right.
How much progress has hiei made on RPGC Densetsu?

I made it a point to ask at least twice a year. Everytime, after I explained what it was to all the newbies, I was met with the same answer, “He’s working on it”.

Ah.
I see. It’s been a while since Hiei has posted hasn;t it?
He must be really busy eh?

Yeah, what he said. ^_^;

I have a spritesheet AND an RM2k charaset…contact me via AIM or PM and I’ll mail 'em to ya.

I wanna be in it!

But there aren’t any RM2K sprites of you … I think …

Well then MAKE them!

I should be in it as well!

So should I! And me, and me, and me! Ooh, and me!

… Me too.

Epic, you’re RPGC staff, you’re automatically in it. Geez. At least I didn’t ask to be in it, I justasked to make trippy bgs.

BUMP

Come now, folks. I see several of you have sprites.

:hyperven: Gimme gimme gimme! :hyperven:

No forward or backwards facing sprites?

Unfortunate.
