Weebl and Bob RPG

[Sand-Man]

Since we don't want to clutter up the RPG maker thread with this I started a seperate topic. If we can get a group of 4 or more people together that will be dedicated to spend some of their spare time to working on the RPG we could make something great. I could make make a website for it where we could have it for download etc. But the whole idea behind this is a RPG made by the forum members for the forum members. So if you guys show an interest in helping make it and playing it, it will be done!

[Enjoisk8r58]

Yes. We'll want this to have voices, though they aren't a big deal right now, as we can add them later. Cutscenes made with flash, and mabye converted to 320 x 240 .avis would be great. anyone that can make music similar to the Weebl and Bob episodes would be great. I personally am doing the graphics for the game. People that know how to work rm2k3 really well would EXTREMELY help out. We'll need people who know how to script in rm2k3 like a pro, so yeah.

If anybody's interested, AIM or E-mail Me or Sand-Man. Thanks a bunch.

[Sand-Man]

We need all the help we can get. Anyone that is good with rm2k3 is welcome to help. We also need help on the creative side coming up with enemys and plot twists. If you want to join the Weebl RPG Cause, please post here or get in contact with one of us.

[JackS]

I can do voices and heck I have 3 weeks of free time to help! My voices are good but really that's all I can help with!

[gotmarmalade?]

im a pixel artist with a delusional imagination and an inability to spell correctly or use punctuation!!

im thinking of a story line now but what willl the action be likE? turn based or live action? desicions desicions!

[Enjoisk8r58]

The battle system would most likely be an ATB battle system like Final Fantasy. We could change that, if people prefer, but It would take more time to implement it.

[junior]

Just wondering, will it be in 2d or 3d?

Anyway, I can think up of plot lines and such.

If anyone needs to contact me at kung_fu_munky@hotmail.com, either by e-mail or messenger.

[Bloopo]

I could do some things in photoshop, and mabye some voices/sounds/music and the suchlike. Just email me: bloopo@gmail.com

[Enjoisk8r58]

Definately 2d. RPG Maker 2003 is only capable of 2d graphics. Think ff6 type graphics.



I'm happy for all the interest in this! We need to get everybody together in like, a chatroom and organize this thing. Seems to me like I'll be programming the thing, along with Sand-Man. Everybody, we'll get back to you soon, once we get some of the storyboards done, so we know what we'll need.

[Sand-Man]

If any of the people that want to help need RPG Maker 2003 thats not a problem, we can hook you up with it. I am going to get a rough story line up today with some positions.

[Nuclear Spoon]

I would do voices, but I haven't got a microphone... I could be the idea guy!!! I'm good with ideas.

[gotmarmalade?]

would we be using donkey to provide the story line in a zelda parody hee hee legend of donkey with christheninjapiratedorf as the baddie.. hee hee..
or possibly wee bull in a kind of phantasy star one thing where its all his fault and you fight his lackys (mysterios chikin vibro the egg etc..) until you get to him que the 3 hour cut scene in true ff style or we could make it 3 minutes and say we cut out the boring bits.. ideas.. oh or a platformer style story weebull has stolen all the pies rescue them and defeat him (platformers tend to only have the one story line dervived from a secret template)
maybe piemanchris could be the idea guyfor the secret team he has to make sure no-one see's the story line who isnt suposed to...(i like being patronising its fun!)

[Sand-Man]

Basic Storyline:
Weebull has stolen the Golden Pie and plans to use it to take over the world. You as Weebl must go out and return the golden pie. Along the way you meet other party members to aid you along the way. You will need all the help you can get as Weebull has hired the Jams to fight with him to stop you.

What the game will include:
New Weebl & Bob related weapons, armor, and spells.
Weebl & Bob themed enemys.
Fourm Members make guest appearances to help Weebl in his journey.
And much more...

[Sand-Man]

Enjoisk8r58 and myself have been creating a list of enemys, here is a sampling of what we have come up with so far:

Rebel Jam
Merc Jam
Knight Jam
Axe Jam
Magic Jam
Wizard Jam

Thats just a small sample of the long list we have come up with.

[SaxAPPEAL]

yeah im a musician, and so can help with all the composing. You want the sort of techno stuff?? Ill have to dig out my old sampling programs but i should be able to handle it if you need it.

[Sand-Man]

We will definetly get in touch with you once we get that far into development. If anyone needs RPG Maker 2003, you can get it here:

[JackS]

Sorry, I'm very good with with writing (have a few short stories published) and can quite easily make a good script and screenplay for you but will we be looking at a plus rep and good viewing from other forumites?

[gotmarmalade?]

ahh good i would do it myself but i have an amazingly good ability to get bored and forget things! as my english teacher said ' daniel has two gifts, one is his writing, the other is his ability to procrastinate and be generally lazy!'
true story weebl himself gives us his blessing his exact words 'sure i guess'
a great man!

[Lewiji]

I'll do some pixelling for sure. Seeing as it's inactive, we can use my forum to communicate, it prevents spammage here. I don't know RPG Maker but I know a fair amount of other languages, BASIC, click (although not a language), bit of C...So I'll pick it up.

It's at the bottom, Weebl and Bob RPG
Sign up.


I'll make everyone mods.

[JackS]

Thanks Lewiji40k, I'm under JimmyBoy and am currently working on scripting!

[Sand-Man]

Your guys help would be great appreciated. I got a general layout of the first island done and it is currently being revised. I have AIM:SandQ3Man and MSN:wwjdnow939@hotmail.com, so if you want to speak with me please do.

[Sand-Man]

If you are interested in helping out please sign in on the Weebl and Bob RPG forums:

http://www.xebsoftware.com/forum

Thanks to Lewiji40k for letting us use them.

[fythbro]

do you need ideas people for the names/attributes of armor/weapons/spells? if so im really good at that. trust me.

[Sand-Man]

We need all the help we can get, post on the thread (http://www.xebsoftware.com/forum) if you are interested.

[JackS]

I think we should post a proper thread with loads of details on General Weebl so we get more responses and more people on board! Would this be okay?

[Sand-Man]

There is updated info on the thread for those that are helping out.

[el_diablo5711]

i would help except i dont usually do RPG

and it would be a shame to put a black mark on my record

[Sand-Man]

Well out of the game types that can be easily made a RPG is at the top of the list. A humorus RPG will be the best weebl and bob game made!

[Bisyss]

Basic Storyline:
Weebull has stolen the Golden Pie and plans to use it to take over the world. You as Weebl must go out and return the golden pie. Along the way you meet other party members to aid you along the way. You will need all the help you can get as Weebull has hired the Jams to fight with him to stop you.

I've just had an idea for a plot twist!
Once Weebull is defeated, he could be unmasked and be revealed as Donkey!

[smiley clown]

This might contradict thing you have already done, if so just ignore it, but weren't the jams on Weebl's side? I thought it was the lemon curds that were the bad guys.

[JackS]

Er no, as far as I know the Lemon Curds act as "police" in Weebl World

[Sand-Man]

Yes, the will act as police. We have a wide range of jams as enemys that you will encounter. I will be posting some screens of the maps as they get done going through the last editing process.

[JackS]

Bloody Hell, this is going fucking well!

We have a camera-mode demo allowing views of the whole first island

around 30 sound effects and themes

NPC Dialogues

Character Sprites for Weebl and Bob

[Bloopo]

Too well....compiling it all is going to be a bitch though...

[JackS]

True, so fucking true

[Lewiji]

Hmm, server seems to be down-should be up in a few minutes. Voice acting seems to be priority at the moment.

Do you need any specific pixel art done while I've got a lot of time on my hands?

[JackS]

Lewiji, your hired for voiceovers!

[Enjoisk8r58]

TheTrooper is wanting backgrounds for the flash animations. If anybody's willing to make some, ask him, and he'll tell you what he needs.

[Sand-Man]

We do need the the current list of enemys to have sprite sheets done for them.

[Sand-Man]

Update: To all of those who care, the Enemy List (random encounters) is finished containing 50+ enemys.

[the architect]

I attempted a flash intro, but it needs sound.. and something else too...

http://www.dhost.info/thesoccerking10/other/weebl.html

[jimeh]

I found that I did not have the time to read the dialogue, and the rocking is slightly bitty, otherwise, good jorb.

[the architect]

yea, it was a pre-attempt type thing, me trying to make the rocking work. I could read the text, but maybe it runs slower on my machine

[Sand-Man]

At some points it runs just a little too fast. Its a good start though.

[Slithe]

cool music! it should include bob later on, though

[Bloopo]

I did the music :bb:

[JackS]

IMPORTANT NOTICE If any of you can think of weapons, items, herbs etc. please go to www.xebsoftware.com/forum in the "Weapons and Items List Thread" as we currently need a lot! Thank you

[Sand-Man]

Yes, we need the lists to get filled. Updates on our progress coming soon!

[pebble_rebel]

and guns, lots of guns :rawk:

[Bloopo]

If anyone wants sounds for their certain flash animations, im your man.

[Sand-Man]

We are currently working our asses of to try to make the sunday deadline!

[Sand-Man]

Fox has been knocking out cutscenese in Flash non stop. Hopefully the beta will have them included

[Stigmata]

ill be happy to help as well

php programmer, made my own rpg site once apon a time


:) email me jackasswanabe@gmail.com

[Sand-Man]

For all those interested in the progress of the game, we now have a public forum avaliable for you to post in here (http://www.xebsoftware.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=11). I will be post one or two public screens here for your viewing, but the majority of the content will be there. Also Beta Testers get exclusive sneak peaks.

[Sand-Man]

[jimeh]

Loooking goood.

I like the shots of the buildings.

They look pre-sony ff.

[JackS]

The beta demo WILL be on time hopefully as pretty much everything is done! Good screenshots Sand Man.

[Sand-Man]

I have been working on the enemy sprites, I did post some pictures of them in my fan art thread : http://www.weebls-stuff.com/forums/showthread.php?p=442271#post442271

[Cjw]

That looks fantastic....Old school RPGarama! :D

[Sand-Man]

The look of the rpg should correlate well with the look of the Weebl animations. We are making everything high quality so it lives up to the Weebl name :D

[Sand-Man]

4 more Images for the public view!

[jimeh]

I see the fourth one is ripped from Chrono Trigger.

Is the little weebl character the one we will be controlling?

[Cjw]

Looks brill...and ever so sligthly retro :)

[jimeh]

I really am awaiting the beta now!

It seems soooo great to see Weebl and Bob put into a real computer game.
All im hoping is that it will be quite long.

[Mystery Pie!!!!]

I have flash maker pro and can help out!

[Youlikeyams?]

All looking rather spiffing!

[Sand-Man]

I don't see how the 4th one is a rip from chrono trigger. RM2K3 comes with a tileset you can use to make maps. But we don't use it, we have custom tilesets we use. Maybe the tile set looks like Chrono Trigger's? I designed the map and I have never played the game. Anyway yes that is the weebl character you will be controlling. With the graphics we went for a high quality SNES look. As far as the storyline goes, the game is quite long in my opinion. There are 3 main island chains leading up to the 4th island. The islands get bigger and harder as you progress in the game. You won't be able to just run through the maps, you will need to level up before you can advance across the islands.

[the architect]

I am hurt, I am a Dev and thats the first time I've seen those. Prolly am late in checking the forums.

[Skwee]

Im up for helping in whatever way possible. I can do voices OK, music, and I have been told Im pretty good at tile art...
My MSN is skweeofengland@hotmail.com if anyone wants to reach me.

[Bisyss]

I'm not sure how much use it'll be but this website (http://www.charas-project.net/) lets you create custom sprites which works with RPGmaker. You might be able to use it for generic characters in the game.

[monkey magic]

I was just looking at part of the enemy list, why not have a monkey that uses magic attacks?
I'd be willing to help but I don't know anything about anything, I could probably think up some random plot twists but thats it.
