TailsSena Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I confess, I'm a total sucker for Chao Gardens, and this has just won me over. Good luck, and good day, sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, myself, am a fan of Chao Garden and always wanted something like this, so I am making one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 What is your current status, and does it go beyond a still screen with a couple of small borrowed models within a box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigabowzer Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 What is your current status, and does it go beyond a still screen with a couple of small borrowed models within a box? Current Status: In development testing Borrowed models? I made all these models and textures all myself.... EDIT: Here is the video of the test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I guess I'm mildly interested in that case. It's a little fugly, but SA2's chao garden was fun and if you can make something with similar features that would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I wouldn't have members expect its going to be high-class 100 developer team graphics, but it is going to have decent graphics. The game is going to be having all features of SA2 Chao Garden and even more, especially with new items going to be added every so often. EDIT: Also, the video was bad quality. The actual game is a lot smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsSena Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I can help out with texture art if you want, but I suck balls at modelling, especially box-modelling. (Taking a box and turning it into something with the knife tool.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Taking a box and turning it into something with the knife tool.) Some help with textures would actually be nice, thank you. I also need some sound FX makers for Chaos and some other stuff, but that isn't really as important at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminence Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 What implications does the "online" have? Will I be facing other people's chao online, or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigabowzer Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Alright, well more updates are coming, here is a screenshot of a few features I added so far. I added a new day/night system and time. I also added a few items, such as some fruits(basic kind). I also added a player "cursor"(that torus-shaped thing) for spawning items, such as eggs and fruit. I will be adding ring currency soon. Also, the eggs hatch into chao. More coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark-E Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Ohh! I LOVE Chao Gardens! I'm going to keep tabs on this topic. By the way, I like how you are going with this; keep up the awesome work~ =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to keep tabs on this topic.By the way, I like how you are going with this; keep up the awesome work~ =D Thanks for the comment. Since SEGA hasn't been releasing any more Chao Garden features for the sonic games, I guess I decided to make one that would even be online and multiplayer. I'm glad people are interested.

TailsSena Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Well, here's all the Chao related sound data from SA2. Please note that the Network Success tune is also used when a Chao's stat levels up. EDIT: Would be wise to include the link. Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Would be wise to include the link. Here. Thank you for the help. I will start implementing these sounds right away. I am debating whether I should release an offline version of the game for testers to get a feel for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsSena Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 No problem, anything to get a Chao Garden 3. If I knew more about the A-Life system, I'd offer to help out with the mechanics, but all I can do it send you to where I do my research for Chao raising. Here we go. EDIT: I can tell you that I know of 7 stats that Chao have... Power Run Fly Swim Stamina Luck* Intelligence* *You never see these stats, and the doctor doesn't tell you about them. We know that all animals increase Luck by 20%, and Chaos Drives increase Luck by 40% (100% = level up, and reset to 0%.) We know Intelligence, as the name suggests, affects the Chao's ability and speed at solving puzzles in Races, and perhaps how quickly it recognizes toys in the gardens. Luck seems to only affect how often the Chao falls into trap holes in races, and maybe how often it gets crits in Karate. It is unknown what affects luck, though we assume for now that it's determined at birth along with everything else, and does not increase ever.

Instrutilus Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Are you going to include customizable avatars for us to use to interact with the Chao? I always enjoyed projecting myself onto the characters to care for my Chao, bit hard to do with a floating screen. Regardless, I look forward to seeing more of this.

I always enjoyed projecting myself onto the characters to care for my Chao, bit hard to do with a floating screen.Regardless, I look forward to seeing more of this. This is mostly a 3rd perspective of the Chao, however you take care of the chao within this 3rd perspective. I may add avatars to interact with the chao, but the 3rd perspective is the plan. EDIT: I will be adding interactive avatars, since I can understand how interaction with an avatar is better than just interacting with the third perspective. EDIT2: Here is another screenshot with a test avatar. I also added a feature where the avatar can pick up your Chao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigabowzer Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Sorry for taking so long with the next update. My computer just got a virus(finally got it removed), but now I am working on the project again. I am changing the map so it looks like the Sonic Adventure 2 Battle Chao Garden, with some extensions to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsSena Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 You know, this may be a little early, but I think some light sourcing would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigabowzer Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 You know, this may be a little early, but I think some light sourcing would help. During the day or night time? There are two phases in the garden. The recent screenshot was during the night time of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigabowzer Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Alright, I edited the map a bit, and here are the results: Newest screenshot: You can pick up the chao, and soon you will be able to interact with it. I made a few more adjustments, such as terrain and some more models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
