He, do we know who's concept art we're going by for the chamber of Life?

That current staff thing is inaccurate. maybe we should have it be like the BNG topic. A model samples section, a programming section, etc... And ofcourse a staff list. What do ya say?

@Omega: I did, and so did a couple other people.

 

@Leskows: Sounds good. I can start multiple blog threads for each of these. Let's make this one home-base, or administrative, shall we?

 

-S

Shadix, I really think a topic would be more in order... or we could use benlinus's forums-that-he-never-seemed-to-finish. XD

 

But seriously, yeah. Make a topic, please.

Yeah, we would, but it would have to be in fan-created games and we don't have any screenshots/demos.

 

@Shadix: I am an administrator/staff member, I am third-in-command after all...

Not just any random assistant.

@Angle Bob: We could, be we really haven't done much at all aside from concept art. Once we got something going perhaps, then a topic.

 

@Inferno: Ok, I'll change it when I get back.

 

Off for the rest of the day, cya.

*cough* It's Angel. Angel Bob.

 

There's always benlinus's forums. Or alternatively, we could all work in overdrive until we have sufficient evidence to make a topic in Fan-Created Games. XD

Well we need 2tie for that, and she seems to of convinently disappeared again.

 

Wait, has someone already sent her a message that the topic was closed? Because she might be kinda confused upon returning.

I didn't know I was also a programmer

Btw, I have NO experience with programming, I just want to help with the story.

So are we going to put up screen shots for the topic, or make a demo or what?

Anyway, I believe the story starts with something with the Vahi and the Olmak, right? Instead of that, how about when Vakama has the real Vahi, an Evil Brutaka from another dimension comes and steals the Vahi, and tries to warp back his "master", but is ambushed by Alternate Vezon, who tries to fuse Brutaka to the ground and take the Vahi, but when Brutaka hits Vezon, the blast from the Spear of Fusion is accidentaly directed at Brutaka's mask. He tries to dodge, but he accidentally throws the Vahi in the air. (Lots of accidents in here, huh?) The blast from the Spear of Fusion connects right when the Vahi is in front of Brutaka's Olmak. Brutaka, with his new Vahi-Olmak, tries to hide in another dimension, but a vortex comes and sucks up warriors for past and present, and other dimensions, too. How's that for a plot?

We've already got the story written, sorry.

Since Shadix has no Story Section, I'll post this here. Since Talos hasn't been around for a while, I took the liberty of continuing the Pohatu-Onua subplot, entering the Desert of Sorrows (no, not the Voya Nui one).

 

Chapter 9: Desert of Sorrows

 

Cutscene: Atero

 

Onua squinted his eyes against the sun.

 

“I don't know how your Po-Matoran stand it,” he grunted. “It's so hot out here in the light!”

 

“Maybe that's because we're in a desert,” Pohatu chuckled. “Still, it's not Po-Wahi... that's for sure.”

 

“Hmm. Certainly not Po-Wahi,” Onua nodded, “for Po-Wahi was never strewn with ruins.”

 

“What?” Pohatu asked, following Onua's gaze. Indeed, at the Toa of Earth's feet rested a cracked stone structure, with writing engraved in it.

 

“That's no language that I know of, but I seem to be able to read it,” Onua continued. “It says, 'A'...'T'... 'E', 'R', 'O'. What's 'ATERO'?”

 

“Dunno,” Pohatu shrugged. “Let's look around... see if there are any clues.”

 

They searched for a few minutes, burning in the red-hot sun. Suddenly, Onua gave a cry of shock.

 

“What is it, brother?” Pohatu asked, running to Onua's side. The Toa of Earth was staring down at something thin and bleached-white. With a surge of nausea, Pohatu recognized it as a skeleton.

 

“What kind of a skeleton is this?” he asked. “The proportions are all wrong... it's not a Matoran, it's definitely shaped more like a Toa. Well, Lewa or Tahu, that is. But it's the wrong size... and it's got nostrils, like some sort of Rahi...”

 

“It's an alien,” Onua grunted. “That's the only solution. We're on another world, and we're in the middle of a dead desert.”

 

Pohatu looked around. Indeed, the air was stale, the sand too scratchy, and the sun too ferocious. The rocks were sinister... ruins were scattered everywhere, the ruins of a city... and so were the alien skeletons.

 

“What happened here?” Pohatu asked.

 

“How should I know?” Onua frowned. “But if I catch up with the alien monster that did this...”

 

“Good for you,” a gruff voice said from behind them, “you just did.”

 

Cutscene: Lord of the Skrall

 

Both Toa whirled, to see a tall, black-armored being, wielding a broadsword and shield. Some crude launcher was strapped to his belt, and there were flashes of green in his scratched, rusted armor.

 

“Makuta?!” Pohatu bellowed. “What are you doing here?”

 

The being laughed – a horrible, rasping sound. “I am not the Lord of Shadows, Toa fools. I am only his servant... but one to be feared. For I am the mighty Tuma, , last of the Skrall Lords, and leader of the Rock Tribe!”

 

“Well, I am Pohatu, Kolhii Champion of Po-Koro, Toa guardian of Mata Nui, and wielder of Stone!” the brown Toa bellowed.

 

“And I am Onua, Wisest of the Toa, wielder of Earth,” the black Toa said. “You would be wise not to challenge us. We have bested your master, and we shall again!”

 

“The Makuta has not met you,” Tuma frowned. “He knows of you, for sure – your are two of the Toa Mata, a fabled Toa Team sworn to protect his weakling brother, Mata Nui. But he has never fought you. You have not woken, for you are not needed.”

 

Onua was confused – a happening unheard of until now. “How do you know of the Makuta, anyway?” he asked. “And why are we unneeded? Even now, Mata Nui lies in slumber, struck down by the Makuta himself. It is our sworn destiny to awaken him, the Great Spirit, and you stand in our way. Prepare to be cast aside.”

 

“Good luck with that,” Tuma sneered, tensing for battle.

 

*insert standard brawl: Pohatu and Onua versus Tuma in a two-stock battle.*

 

Cutscene: Tuma's Escape

 

The Skrall Lord staggered back, wounded from Onua's savage attack. Pohatu charged forth to strike at him, but the ebon-armored titan simply sneered and raised a curious device in his hand. With the press of a button, he had disappeared from the scene, leaving Pohatu to smash headlong into a boulder.

 

“Oof,” the Toa of Stone grunted, collapsing into the sand. “Now where's he gotten to? Is this some trick of Makuta's?”

 

“I think not,” Onua frowned, “more like alien technology. But let us continue onwards; it is vital to right the wrongs here and return to the island of Mata Nui.”

 

*insert level: The Desert. New enemies: Vorox, Zesk, Sand Bat (miniboss). Oh, and how's this for music?*

 

*no ending cutscene*

 

*STAGE CLEAR reward: none*

We need a modeling and animation thread too, shadix.

SHADIX COULD YOU STOP SPELLING MY NAME 'ANGLE BOB' LIKE YOU DO IN THE MAIN POST IT IS DRIVING ME INSANE

 

...Glad I got that out of my system. But seriously, do it or die. >

@Angle Bob: I can't get the music to download.

Now YOU'RE calling me 'Angle' Bob...

 

IT HURTS MY BRAIN WAAAAH

 

And you don't need to click the download button, there's a little track right there. You know, with a "Play" and "Stop" button and all? Right beneath where it says, "Save to download list" in small text? You have to wait a little while for the track to load, but it works eventually.

 

EDIT: Shadix, please add Inferno630 to the list of staff. I wouldn't mind that you went to the trouble of setting all this up, except that you didn't go through the topic at all and just put down what you remembered from the posts around yours. It doesn't help that you barely ever posted. :annoyed2:

Why, Angle Bob?

I'll move your post in a bit. Just got home.

 

-S

Oh, well, story, shmory. Do you have Assist Trophies planned out, too?

A few, but I think that we could use more.

Here's an assist trophy:

Nidhiki

Toa (25% of the time): Air Slash; an Issac from Golden Sun (assist trophy) style move.

Dark Hunter (75% of the time): Pound; a Waluigi (assist trophy) type of move.

 

Dunno where to put this, but is this the BEST music for Credits EVAR or WHAT?

 

I dunno if this responds to Angel Bob's (you're welcome... ) post, but I can't find a link to post this in (cuz' BZP won't allow ******* on the site [yes, I put the censor thingies]). Anyway, for boss music, how about Vim and Vigor from the Kingdom Hearts Series? It sounds really fitting for a boss battle.

Could you search for a free mp3 download of it somewhere on the web, and link to that? I'm too lazy to do it myself.
