Dark Cloud

Archive: 17 posts

Hi everybody!

Does anybody remember the PS2 game 'Dark Cloud'. It's a sort of RPG/Fantasy sword fighting/SIMS style/Awesome game, and is my favourite game ever!!! And so I was thinking of doing a LBP2 version of it. Using the Atla for points in the dungeons, and with a traditional lbp platform style to it, but with the ability to change between allies and stuff, so the main character (who I always called Bano) can fight enemies, but isn't very good with jumping, but his cat/human ally (who I called Tom) can leap with ease across chasms. And so on, etc, etc...
Each 'Town' would comprise of 3 (maybe 4) dungeon levels of increasing difficulty, with harder monsters and new allies, and 1 Dungeon Boss, so in the first Town, Nolun Village, the dungeon would be set in Divine Beast Cave, and have Dran (giant flying horned hamster who is worshipped by the townsfolk) as the boss. After defeating Dran, The player would move on to the next village.
I'll try make the storyline as much like the original game as possible ^^

DON'T NICK MY IDEAS ON PAIN OF CRUSHING!!!!!

I've already a few levels designs sorted, and I'm working on some logic to help change between allies, but I don't have a headset, so I can't record. If you want the job of some voice acting (anybody), I need you to send me a few lines of voice on the computer. Just use a voice that you think suits the character description, and the photo of the guy is next to there name.

Umm..... Minigame ideas are always welcome, and I need some play testers for the alpha and beta versions, and I thought that some ideas (sketches maybe?) of some of the dark cloud monsters (how to defeat them, etc...) that have been LBP-ified. And if anybody has any other ideas about this project, then please let me know.

Dark Cloud?!

Dude

I'd totally help you out... but I has no beta codes /:

I'd totally play it though once it's complete. DC2 was one of my all time favorite games on ps2!!		2010-09-26 09:04:00

I will totally help you on this project in my spare time from my own projects and other projects I am helping with.

Anyway, Dark Cloud was a GREAT game. I still haven't beat it though...		2010-09-26 09:11:00

Um... Well... WOW! I leave for a bit and then come back to find loads of willing helpers ^^
Just a few points:

1- I live in rural France, and I have crap internet connection, so I won't be able to online create very much, so any helpers are going to have to put forward ideas (I'll soon be putting up a small forum so the whole team can keep in touch, share ideas, whatnots...)

2- I plan to make most if not all the monsters out of sackbots... Well... Not the stuff like dragons... And Dran... And the big things... But if anybody makes something awesome I'll be happy to put it in there with everything else

3- I HAS BETA!!! No I'm not boasting, I'm just pointing out that I've been able to check out the new logic, etc... And I think I'll make most of my bosses on my own... Well, maybe not...

4- Camera angle: I've been playing around with some of the camera tools on the LBP2 beta, and I fallen in LOVE with this camera angle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3AIdAxi1xE so check it out and see what you think. It's either that or standard camera ^^

5- If I can get a team together, everybody'll have there own bit to do, (Bosses, enemies, backgrounds + scenic bits... etc...) And everyone will have there own bit published on there moon (One person gets Nolon village, next person gets wise owl forest...) All linked with level link things...

6- KEEP UP THE ENTHUSIASM!		2010-11-09 17:27:00

have you already got your sackbots and switching logic completed?
if not, i have developed a system for switching between sackbots on the fly.
i use nine sackbots and a holographic HUD that follows and keeps track of health/ammo and controls switching.
if youd like to see it in action i have a level on the beta called Mega City Remix Beta - Dynamic Park that uses it.
i'd be willing to share the tech as long as i get some credit for it.		2010-11-09 17:50:00

Thanks Deftmute, but I already got it sorted out, but I'll check yours out and if it's any better, I'll send a request for it, and don't worry about thanks, I'm planning on doing a massive 'thank you!!' level when it's all done, you know: Off-cuts from the original level, group photos, bonus prizes, logic showcases, and of course, loads of 'THANKS TO...'
Thanks for the offer		2010-11-10 17:01:00

Ok, just listened to Darkcloudrepeat's voice vid that he sent me, and he's managed to bag the voice-role of the Fairy-King! Congrats to him!

Anybody else who wishes to become a voice actor should post a vid on youtube with the voices they want to do and send me the link... Have fun! 		2010-11-13 12:38:00
