Chibi fighter DEV News :
Chibi fighter is finally released! Click here to access chibi fighter sction.
17 May 2004:
As many know since I announced it via the Moonless age news and via the forum. The mmorpg project died in june 2003. The main coder leaving, along with the source code. I didn't
felt the strenght to start over and doubted my capability to do it as well. Perhap I wanted too much, okay I wanted too much, but the progress were good and I was hoping. The project was not a hoax.
Maybe I will someday put up what was done online but unfortunatly the most recent build require the server side to be online and operional, which is not since I don't have the build for the server side.
Too bad... It was a nice dream while it lasted. I don't know for sure why I never told the project was dead on this page. Maybe I was still hoping for the coder to come back or perhap I was just plain lazy? Most probably the second possibility.
Unfortunatly I do not intend to revive the project. At best we will try a small flash RPG. Multiplayer or not, we will see.
YET in december 2003, a new videogame project began. Chibi fighter, a much more smaller scale game. A multiplayer fighting game using 2d animated graphics. With Shawn of White radish studio and Matt of brilliant bytes as conceptor.
I kept this project details within the inner circle of the game devlopement so far. Because I was not sure if the project was going to work this time. Not to give any of you false hope.
But now the game is in ALPHA stage and playable. I also got the source code which is another garantee that the project will be complete. All animations were done as well. The game will be complete and available to play soon enough.
To honor this, i recorded a trailer with FRAP2. Feel free to watch it! Btw you'll need DIVX to view the video:
MMORPG project is dead : june 2003
News :
05th July 2003 : Chibi's sweets videogame is online! Okay it not the mmorpg, but it will help you to wait till we have more videos to show you. Click here to play
14th May 2003 : A bit late but a better version of the trailer is available.
Even if it doesn't show everything i want, it still an in-game video. Make sure to grab DIVX4 or higher to view them, the flash version need the flash plugin obviously.
No footsteps sound in the trailer unfortunatly, the recording software does not record any sounds, so i had to add the music during the video compression process. But i can't add sound over and make it sync, that would be too hard. So you'll have to wait till the real release before being able to hear sounds effects.
The Tiktikki was animated...unfortunatly the result weren't so good so i won't put it on the web site yet.
for the Musics: Access
the Media section
Releases: None at this time, we will not make any release till the
networking is installed and stable. Please be patient.
Help wanted : We curently seek new team members to help us in the devlopement of
this videogame. You have good knowledge of C++ Networking programming? You know
how to set IK and Bones in 3d models to animate them? You know how to make good
3d characters model or 3d background using 3dstudiomax compatible tools? You
have good knowledge of OPENGL and DIRECTX? If you fit in one of these 4
category, you are more than welcome to join us. I admit what we need the most
is someone able to animate. Because curently the engine programmer is the one
who must animate the characters and the two task is too much for a single
person. If you are interested to join us,
send me an email!
