Ok, My first project in a while, It's called uhhh Blade, Not very original..I know.
Aside from the Title, I want to make an original Project. The story is Unclear now. The project is still in it's Development stages, meaning the story is being created along with the basic engine. The current engine I am using is a custom Nitemares "pixel engine" because of the low speeds, and basic flexibaleness, if that's a word, It was a good choice.
Now, the reason why it is called Blade: You use blades? Such as swords, knifes, katanas, ect. Also you will have an arsenal of guns to choose from, such as: SMGs, Sigs, Snipers (maybe), Pistols, HMG (heavy MGS such as the MG32) And Rocket launchers. Each with a diffrent power of use. Like there would be 3 diffrent type of SMGS.
The story, so far is that you are from a time where swords are the main form of combat, and something happens and you are warped to the future, then thats where you use guns...Not very advancd but it gets the job done. Like I said, Not developed, it's still in the early stages.
Now, Why am I posting this NOW? Well I need your opinon on something. As you know, there are weapons, and there needs to be some felxability with the character. Should the swords and guns be controled by the mouse? Or should the swords be controled by the key press and have a replayed animation/animations, and the gun be controled by the mouse? OR have the Gun and Sword both be controled by a key press.
Anyway, Here some pictures with the engine still in dev. If you can say that.
"WARNING: PNGs"
Title screen: Ya, pretty bland...I understand. It will not stay. (thats a katana, with a tasle)
In engine shots: Can't call it in game yet. The Sprite is Temporary, and so is the sword.
That's it for now. I'm currently learning to draw...Better. So, I'm going to be drawing Ads, as in Anime ads, where....What else but swords are used.
Comments/Suggestions/Any help is welcome.
DO NOT say its unoriginal, and don't say im using sprites from tales of "series" sprites, I know...It's only temporary.
Please don't be a smart ass, I would like suggestions/help.
Thank you
