Description
So myself and a bunch of the TOME crew may or may not have seen Wreck-It Ralph this past weekend...and loved it. ;]Related content

An 8-bit beat em up, in Levendara, made in flash. That's all I remember about the game from this conversation. But I was thinking of having an original hacker that we make up, however we could jeopardize making an OC like a Hacker Kirb plans on making.

Yeah, that sounds good. I was also thinking, in addition or instead of an original story, we could try to follow the story in game form up until the end of the tournament, which is why I'm hesitant to start right this moment. For example, during this most recent episode, Kirb (the character) mentions that the five are battling each other to determine compatibility in the tournament, and seem to be fighting round-robin style (meaning everyone fights everyone else once). Since Alpha arrives late, this could lead to a scenario where he fights all of the other four in succession, and then the player can choose any of them to be his partner in the tournament. This changes the story of the tournament depending on the choice, and can even change the ending if we decide to stop there. If they go with whoever Alpha chooses in the next episode, the story will continue as it was meant to, but the other choices present some variety as well.

I figure an original story, or heck no story would make it less likely to ruin the plot. It would be a beat em up maybe during the tournament, and you could play as any three. If possible it could be two player online or local. The pose of showing alternate plot strings would be fun to work with.

Yeah, laying the groundwork for the game should probably be the first priority before the story. All the profile pics have move sets, so we could probably just add animations to them. Should we add all the characters who have fought so far, including the ones from Ep 5?
And there's still the issue of finding someone to actually animate and put the game together...

We should have the main 5. Rockoon, and the Jon Tron bot (don't know the real name. And well go from there. (maybe we could have the weak characters during the stage be made in the process Kirb does for extras)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, we should have a relatively equal amount of the same classes...
Fighters: Alpha
Swordsmen: Kirb and Nylocke
Spellcasters: Flamey
Animalistic: Rockoon
Morphological: Gamecrazed
Mechanical: Sniperwheel (Jon Tron)
So this seems like a good starting roster. Maybe add Doubling too because he was in the first episode. Then the stages could just be pictures of the backgrounds. They also make a point to say that battles outside of a battle grid don't earn experience points, so that could just be for ranking battles.

I think that the bosses would be in battle grids and only distinct waves of enemies would have a battle grid. I would agree with putting Doubling if it wasn't for the fact that he quit the hackers and would never play TOME again. Maybe his sister. I would have to review older episodes to see if there are any animalistics or fighters, but doesn't Flamey have friends that are spell casters?

Well he should still be a playable character, even if he was only in one episode, since he and Rockoon were the main villains of the first ep and his moveset is pretty easy to do. We also don't know what happened to the other hackers after they were taken down or retreated, but we'll probably have to include them at some point. But I'm thinking the hackers and other characters would only become playable when defeated in battle in the story.
Isn't the only actual boss so far Rockoon when he took over the idol? That seems like the only boss character that wouldn't become playable later on. Speaking of boss fights, THAT would be a good opportunity to add in original hackers or characters.
And this should help with sorting out classes: [link]

So Rockooon would be unlocked and maybe ALL hackers would be unlocked and you could only select the first 5. Original bosses would be a good idea and the Jon Bot would be the first unlockable character that would be unlocked after beating the first stage.

Maybe make it like this:
If you go through the main storyline that Alpha follows:
Finish Episode 1 - Unlock Doubling (since he doesn't appear in later episodes)
Episode 2 - Unlock Splat
Episode 3 - Unlock Ravenfreak
Episode 4 - Unlock Rockoon
Episode 5 - Unlock Demon Alpha (would be a separate character from Alpha in vs mode)
The supporting characters could be unlocked by completing mini-quests that follow the other main characters. Kirb's would unlock Jon Bot (maybe beat him enough times and then you unlock him), GC's would unlock be Asterob (complete a mini-tournament at the mansion), Flamey's would unlock Saturndiva and Whyti (this is where we could put in an original hacker story), and Nylocke's would unlock Demonking and Serpentine (basically an extended version of the "Nylocke's Day Off" short, also leaves room for another original hacker). We can find ways to unlock the remaining characters in later installments if we even get that far.
Sound doable?

Well I could handle sprites, and you can write the script. That alone should be able to set the path to find a programmer. Alright then, LET'S DO THIS!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
WOOOOT. So I just have to write the original stuff, right? The stuff that's been done in the show itself could probably just be transcribed.
And are we going with 8-bit sprites or redrawn flash sprites?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was thinking of 16 or 32 bit sprites. Something detailed but nostalgic. it may take me awhile to make the sprites but I will make the ones we know are going in there.
And yes the only new script we need is for the other stories. I figure that Gamecrazed be left alone until we can learn about him. The only story characters would be the main 5 and Rockoon, because I said so MOTHTA SCRATCHER!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good point on both things. But by story characters do you mean characters playable in the story?
Also, I'm working out timeline of how stages are unlocked. I'll send it to you when it's together and the original stories are summarized. I already have ideas for the game-exclusive hackers.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, there would be a story mode and a vs mode, the story mode would have the main 5, and you probably heard this. It is morning now so I'll get to work on Alpha's sprites.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay, and I will work on notes for the original stories and the story map (meaning how and when things are unlocked)

Kay then I'll note you when I get dem sprites done

Awesome now I have a pic to go with this song [link] and something to think about when I go and see Wreck-It Ralph

Dude, I am SOOO hyped for the next episode of TOME. "Awaken the Beast" was so intense; I just loved it! (And yes, Wreck-It Ralph was amazing. :3)
