At this point, we would need music, be it in MIDI or MP3.
We need a good story.
We do need some more sprites.

Which would you prefer?

... I don't know how to make the music, though I suppose I could try given some time, I have practically no experience spriting... I think I'll go with story and/or light scripting cleanup stuff.

EDIT: Is there any general plot/story info I should know?

All I know is VICTORY SPEECHes

Generic
"Huzzah!"
"That was a productive waste of time."
"...Is that it!"
"See? Mages CAN tank."
"You can get back up now OH WAIT you can't because you're DEAD!"
"Clearly you lack the power of many Darvis."
"VICTORY SCREECH!"

No loot
"This loot system sucks!"
"...I'm still taking the body"
"Ew, the loot got embeded in his liver."
"So this is grinding?"

Loot
"I call dibs!"
"It's mine, all mine!"
"I wonder how much we can sell this for."
"Somewhere, someone wants this for ten times its worth. And I have it."
"Screw the money, I have loot!"

Level up
"Generic leveling theme here!"
"I feel like an arbritrary and pointless goal was suppassed."
"Mage power!"
"I feel stronger now."
"...What? All I did was level up again!"

Skill get
"...Why did I not think of this sooner?"
"Huzzah, the arbitary limit on my power has been increased!"
"I just thought of a good way to get us all killed."
"I predict I will now never use this spell."

...Yeah

You think so?

On a related note, "Army of Darvis" sounds kinda catchy.

I will try to make it my themesong, or XK's.

But for now, I'm trying to make some sort of subterranean music which is kinda difficult because I don't know which instruments to use.

Try something similar to this?
(A bunch of various mario game underground themes. Plenty to choose from.)

But this is but only a suggestion.
Alternatively, try lsitening to some zelda subterranean themes instead.

I'm thinking... base drums with piano and flute or something like that. Don't ask me why.

Mario music is kinda too peppy and energetic. Zelda's closer in style to what I'm looking for, but not exactly it.

Right now all I have is just some drum and bass rythms to get used to the whole composing thing.

Heheh, I had a similar idea. But I can't think of a good flute theme just now.

I want to make Army of Darvi. I'll see if I have time to whip something up tomorrow. Everyone else come up with things too.

I have two battle themes and a creepy town theme in the works, on that note, does anyone know of a good place to upload audio files?


Sprites are progressing slowly.

Uh...

Soundcloud? I think there was something else...

(By the way you are extremely awesome for doing this.)

We are still going for the bit where I'm a boss for a while right?

I'm gonna need a Theme.

Ideas, sprites, animations, music, anything. :P

At this point, we would need music, be it in MIDI or MP3.
We need a good story.
We do need some more sprites.

Which would you prefer?

... I don't know how to make the music, though I suppose I could try given some time, I have practically no experience spriting... I think I'll go with story and/or light scripting cleanup stuff.

EDIT: Is there any general plot/story info I should know?

Most of it is in the OP, or through the thread. For the most part, we're just going to make it pretty generic and have people poke fun at it throughout the game. There's a bunch of kingdoms, all under siege by the Troll Army. Among these:

There's the Darkling kingdom. Darkling Wolf is its king. It proclaims love for all.

There's our hero's kingdom. We don't have a name or idea yet.

There's the Friendship Kingdom. Filled with Bronies and ponies and pegasisters. They are locked in eternal conflict with the penguins. During your quest you will have to side with one or the other. Each will give rewards, but by helping one, you offend another. The Bronies preach love and tolerance... as long as you're one of them.

There's the Twelfth Bay Penguin Army Collective. They are locked in eternal conflict with the Friendship Kingdom. They are very mafia-life in their behaviour. They will reward you if you help them defeat the Friendship kingdom... but beware them if you side with the Bronies.

There's a map from some pages back too. I've probably missed some things.

Dermonster is going to be a boss, but is defeated and joins the party a la Magus. At some point, probably the low point where 'everyone lacks power', midgame, he will have to point out that he would be able to effortlessly defeat Big Bad by now if it weren't for the hero's Nice Job Breaking It.

Xeron also wishes to be a boss who joins, but hasn't an 8D or skills yet.

@PotL

All my love. All my love to everyone who is making the music. :D

@Derm

Soundcloud, yeah.

Won't someone have to make a pony sprite?  I mean, one that at least looks MLP G4-ish for it to be somewhat accurate.
