Hey guys, we need a list of sprite animators, since we have a ton of characters, more than I thought there would be. Theres: destructin MVG Who else? Never mind right now, I have levels design. Um Zarth.. You might need some permission from people first. Like you said to me "Not your choice" Oh, and I don't think your stories are really good, now Balto, he whips up something amazing.

Like you said to me "Not your choice" Oh, and I don't think your stories are really good, now Balto, he whips up something amazing. I rushed my story, i'm restarting it. And i know that, i'm going to ask for permission first. Ok, we need to orginize who's doing what here. Could someone make a list of jobs that people are doing?

Zarth, really, there's not much you could do. Really in the long run.
I mean, if you just write the story, the rest of us are working our bottoms off on animating, spriting, and coding.
And using MS Paint isn't much of a help either. And I think someone that has extra time to write a story should do tat and another thing.

Zarth, you could probably help out with the story. Or maybe some rough level designs. Whatever you can actually offer. Also, typical Balto-Boy standing animations. Just the necessary stuff with that. I might add some little actions for him later.

He blinks too frequently. Other than that, I think it's great. Done. Ok, so I set up a jobs section, but this whole "story" thing is one royal clusterfuck. Here's the deal: Anyone who wants to write the story, come up with your basic plot (basic, not general; I still want details) and PM them to me. In a week, I'll pick whichever I like the most and put the writer in charge of plot writing. They can deal with the rest of the writing themselves. Oh, and I'd like EVERY brawler to have some part in the plot. Obviously, it would be hard to have 38 (and counting) MAJOR characters, but everyone should have a roughly equal number of battles. Go.

Its good that everyone can get the attention people want, but don't you think 38 characters is too much, and theres going to be more, some don't even participate as much, but still want attention from NG.
I don't know, we only got few members with flash skill, People would kill to be in the game, but maybe only to the people that...
I don't know...
Its too much.

I agree with Destructin, I think was should narrow it down to 15.
Anyways, I think we should give characters different bits of stuff like:
John: Slow due to hammer, but powerful.
Quickfeet: Extremely fast, but really weak.
MadGamer: Mid speed, with low strength but multiple hit attacks + combos.
Grimscott: Mid speed, quick slashes of the scythe with mid strength
And so on.

Grimscott: Mid speed, quick slashes of the scythe with mid strength Why does everyone forget the super strength?

If you want it like that, grent. DIBS ON ONE THE 1ST OF THE 15

If you want it like that, grent. DIBS ON ONE THE 1ST OF THE 15 Ah-bah-bah-bah! Chill there, sport. We'll figure out the numbers somehow. Not through Dibs, I trust... Also, 15 seems a bit too little. At least I think so. If we're gonna cut down on the numbers, I'd say that about 20 would be better.

Balto, remember we're making cutscenes? There will be a lot of cutscenes making the filesize huge and not fit Newgrounds.
And well, I just got information from a user, and he was telling me how Zarth is really, not being much of a help and well, thinking everything is going to be a piece of cake, such as putting the game on it's own site and if it's too big he would ask tom to make the max file size bigger.
Not to make you feel bad Zarth.

Gradient the light gray city part, so it goes from dark gray ((black, even) near the bottom) to the current colour (near the top). Or you could actually make every building detailed, which is what you probably should do. What do you mean by that? Sort of like a mix between Mortal Kombat and God of War: when you're close to an opponent who's essentially dead, you can start a quick-time minigame in which you finish off the other guy with as much brutality as possible. I had something very similar in mind, only the quicktime aren't necessarily finishers. It would work better if it was 2-player, but I guess that's out the window. Here's my vision, feel free to step in and fix what you don't like. So there's this energy bar that fills up when you hit somebody, and get hit by someboy (but only a little energy is rewarded by getting hit) However, it depletes each time you block something. I think it'd add some strategy. You wanna unleash some epic specials? Gotta play aggresive. If you're a play-safe kind of guy, you'll never get to fill the energy bar up. And also, if your bar is almost full, you could just take some hits to max your energy and then counter with a special. But you gotta be careful that you don't get killed while trying to get hit to fill your bar up. So now your bar's full, and what do you do? You have 2 options. You can go super-special (need some sort of catchy name for this) on them fools and trigger a quicktime sequence that you have to complete to carry out your attack. If you mess up, however, you end up damaging yourself/temporarily unabl to move. It's an extremely strong attack, unblockable, but there's a risk to it. You could also just use the full energy bar to unleash a weaker but risk-free special. It can be blocked, but there's chip damage. For example, Marckus has his energy full. He could do the quicktime thing, that, if done succesfully, would make Marckus shoot giant fireballs all around the screen, hitting whoever's in the way (or Destructin could make something better up himself). If he doesn't complete the quicktime sequence, he ends up burning himself. If that's even possible with his character. I dunno, it's just an example. But if he does the quicktime-free special, he just shoots one big fireball in whatever direction he's facing. In addition, energy also depletes a little when you use little power-based moves. These can be blocked without chip damage and have no quicktime or risk obviously. Going back to Marckus, this would be, like... an ice shard or whatever.

Really long description of the special attack bar Sounds like a great idea... whatever we name it, we should call it something that is unique to SPB... not that we've got that much that's unique...

Here's some ideas for names I got. I'm basically pulling these out of my ass while typing this, so they may suck. Strongest attack (one with quicktime): Ace (I imagine big, shiny, golden letters saying 'Ace' when you win a fight using this move), Peacemaker, Primary or just straight up 'Finisher'. Second strongest attack: Super, Secondary... Regular power moves that don't take up a full energy bar: Idunno ):

MVG why must you feel the need to redo everything I try to do to help? Yea yea, I don't have flash on my home computer, but i can use the ones at my school, they have flash. THE CITY IS MY MAP DO NOT REDO IT LIKE THAT HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF I DID THAT TO YOU!?!? JUST THROW YOUR WORK OUT AND TRY TO DO A BETTER FUCKING JOB it looks like shit.

Hell, we could have one of the brawlers rip the text from the screen and beat the other player with it.

Going with gold letters idea from Rabies, I can probably make the "END" "GO" "START" "FIGHT" text, with photoshop of course.

Anyone could make that text but w/e. Make sure the text will sound well with wrestling commentator voiceover style thing, y'know?
"READY?" "GO!!!1" "STOP.." "HAMMERTIME!"

I was thinking of the Letters to be animated, like, They're big rocks, and one half and the other of that word come clashing together, with some chunks coming off.
