Suggestions / Re: Kyo's suggestion
« on: January 08, 2016, 03:13:41 pm »I'd rather not kill this completely. It really would add a goal to the game, but first I believe we should finish the basic fighting, then step back and ask "what could make playability go up?"I'm only reluctant to support this idea for BOA because of the reality of the situation: we have one guy building the game itself and he's 13 years old. If we want to make something like this happen, we'll need more help, and that means more money, how much of which I have no idea. But what I do know is, assuming Shezura still gets sprited with both of her forms, I have two more sprites to pay for plus stages plus a soundtrack for each stage. I'm going to have to draw the line there and say that I doubt I'd be able to help with paying an extra coder XD
On top of all of this though, we still haven't even heard what G&G has to say, which is very important. In the end, this is still his project, and if he wants it to be a simple kaiju fighting game ala GDBR, there's really nothing we can do in the way of that.

The crowdfunding thing might work once we have more to show. Even still, I use the word "might" very loosely simply because of how little experience G&G has and how easily he can become distracted by side projects like comics and merchandise.
If there are people out there who'd be willing to help, that'd be fantastic. But I know most people will expect to be paid and I don't blame them. Someone as enthusiastic about the project as we are would be a MUST. Ultimately though, what path the game takes will be up to G&G. I know he's been pretty set so far on making it a fighter similar to GDBR.

« on: January 06, 2016, 03:06:13 pm »This is ripped straight out of another thread (although heavily expanded on) but felt it needed on of its own. Honestly I wish some sort of randomness will be included....Let me start by saying that I would LOVE to see a game like this. Thing is--and I'm no developer so I could be wrong--it sounds like this would take a whole heck of a lot more work and a bigger team to accomplish. Right now, all we have working on the game is G&G, and while what he's accomplished so far has been very impressive, he's still one young, inexperienced guy. He'd probably need help paying extra hands to code the game, and as it is we still have stages and sprites that need to be paid for.
maybe even make it a take over different parts of countries design where you fight different kaiju in different regions.
At the same time the cpu's are fighting amongst themselves making it so you never know who will control a territory or how much territory they have (they could be very powerful because of this and you may have to train a bit to take the land back or to attack with multiple kaiju which i will go into detail about more below) in an attempt to claim the entire country as your territory (allowing you to chose where you want fights to take place in your territory which could work to your advantage (its hard for Anguiras to get through a city of buildings after all whereas a ranged kaiju could crush). It would allow players to strategies as well as fight that way and would be a different experience each time. Another added piece of experience/tactics could be that if you attack one territory you have no way to defend your original territory unless you have recruited some other monster.
Which brings me to another concept. Team building. Try and take control of other territories and maybe at some point a new kaiju can pop up in your territory or one nearby that you can choose to face in an attempt to either defend that area from being taken or where you can try and convince the kaiju to join you instead of defeating you via some special move. Now as you take more and more territory it can get harder to defend, the trick to this would be having different recruited kaiju defending certain areas (they could be comp controlled or work like a multi fight where after you finish your attack with the main kaiju you play with the other kaiju in his defense battle right after. Maybe even have certain monsters have advantages in different terrain. A ground burrowing kaiju could have the advantage in deserts,plains and mountains, A ranged kaiju could have the advantage in cities, A flying kaiju can literally fight other sky monsters in the air getting the advantage, a space kaiju could be more nimble/effective in space levels, a mech kaiju could be better in bases since it can get repairs, a hero giant (think Ultraman) could have the advantage in city melee's, a sea monster could have advantages in sea levels or coast levels. However to add more randomness I would make it so kaiju of an allignment different from yours can attempt to rebel sometimes occasionally (whereas you have to choose to teach them their place or eliminate them this time).
I believe this lone concept could make your game entirely unique and replayable. I suggested this to Simon back in the day and he liked it but he said with 3d it would be too hard to set up....however your game is 2d!
Again, I really like your idea, and it's a game I would most definitely support. But considering what little resources we have right now, I think it might be best that BOA stay simple.

Merchandise / Re: BOA Trading Card Game Discussion
« on: January 01, 2016, 03:11:26 pm »
^^^This is exactly why Ogretusk should be in charge of anything TCG related. That's as simple a set of rules you'll get and still have a decent game.
That said, I still think you're getting way ahead of yourself G&G. It's going to take money to print all of these, and I honestly don't believe it'll be money you'll make back because I haven't seen any interest in a card game aside from a handful of people. Based on the success you've currently had getting people to purchase things from the store, I hope you're not expecting these to sell well. I'm just being honest. The main thing everyone is here for is the game, and the more side projects you try to get them involved in, the more likely that they could end up losing interest in BOA altogether. I get that you have big plans for BOA, but things like this take a lot of time and money if you want them to be successful. I probably sound like a broken record at this point, but I reiterate all of these things because they're important.

General / Re: Thorns Design Vote

A fine choice overall. While Allmighty Thorns is pretty cool looking, the original version looks like he'd fit in with the current cast just perfectly.

The thing about a card game, aside from the fact that it will only cost even more money that could be going toward the game itself, is that it would be VERY hard to create, even if it were intended to be fairly simple. I know Ogretusk has expressed interest in the card game to the point he's already created a whole set of rules, so if this is something we're going to take seriously, I'd say put him in charge of it--complicated or not.
I'm still of the mind that we should wait until we actually have a game before we even begin to think about any of this. I'm pretty sure the majority of people who buy the CKC cards are people from the forums, and you can expect that to be the same case here. Our group being as small as it is, combined with the fact that some of us don't even have the means of paying for our own sprites, is not going to result in even remotely successful sales, as far as I can see.
One more thing to add: we don't have that many monsters compared to CKC. If we only made official kaiju and runners up eligible, we wouldn't have nearly enough monsters to make a decent trading card game. Heck, I'm not even sure if we'd have enough if we used every monster that's already been submitted here.

Well, it's just for practice, right? Surprise me

Official Monsters / Re: Official Ghaspar Design Thread
« on: December 18, 2015, 03:33:38 pm »I like Ghaspar's range attack. Its a very creative idea for a kaiju like Ghaspar!Appreciated! But in all honesty, I probably need to update his profile because there's no way the stingray barb projectile attack would work in BOA, with the need for a simplified moveset. Maybe in CKC, if he ever gets in!

DUST DEVIL/THE LADY OF MARS
FIRST FORM (DUST DEVIL)
SECOND FORM (LADY OF MARS)
A ghastly revenant from a dead planet, the supernatural entity now commonly known as the Dust Devil is all that remains of the mysterious race of beings that once inhabited Mars. Having been buried for eons, she was unwittingly unleashed upon the solar system by a team of archaeologists sent to help colonize Mars. She is little more than a fossilized mummy herself, but has developed an uncanny ability to control the minerals of her homeworld, namely the red sand, which she can mold into any shape she desires, such as the giant demonic form for which she earned her name. She longs to be whole again, but cannot achieve this without a sacrifice. Fortunately for her, there are colossal beings that provide a better source for this than any Martian or human ever could…
