Guyver Rebirth Project - A Guyver Fan game

[*Jess♥]

I can see people are eager to have a wonderful animation, but please remember that animation is not simple.  What odin has come up with so far is certainly more than adequate and is not too dissimilar to beat em up games of the past. I think it might be better not to be too precious over the finery of the animation as odin has still got a lot on his plate.

I think the specifics of fine animation could be talked about more if a person decided to take on the role of dedicated animator?

[odin]

Don't worry about it Ryuki, I don't mind at all the current feedback regarding the animations, I actually welcome it since this is the profession that I want to strive at, the more criticism i get the better I will grow as an artist and game developer, I don't have a concrete deadline for this game at the moment so I can take as much as time as needed to perfect the art for this game. If there is a moment where I'm unable to accomplish something or unable to meet someones expectations I'll be sure to let you guys know so don't worry cause this does not bother me at all.

[odin]

How about while I work on Guyver 1's moves we start setting up what places will be playable in the game? you guys can also give me suggestions on what music to put on each stage, it can be an original track that is open source or one that is from the Guyver's numerous soundtracks, on a side not if you suggest a open source track be sure to name the songs author so it can be credited when the game is finished.

 

Also I would like for you guys to give suggestions on how each zoanoid would behave and if you'd like you can also add your own zoanoid type, if you don't know how to draw it is fine with just a detailed description on how the Zoanoid looks, the types that I will allow are regular Zoanoids, Hyper Zoanoids and Lost number Zoanoids, no Zoalord class at the moment until we decide on what kind of story we will tell. I'm already working on Gregole and Vamore (did I write it right?) as well as Guyot as one of the bosses.

 

As Stated before I need sound effects but Voice actors for zoanoids are welcome too, you can post your demo reel here or send it to me by PM if you desire just be sure to write what voice are you doing so I can give you proper feedback. I'll be writing all the things to be done for the game in the first post so it will be easier to find.

 

 

Also if anybody wants to volunteer and is good at making logos I could use A logo for the game just saying Guyver Rebirth, if anybody does it make sure it is in a High Quality enough for different uses, at least 800 pixels wide. Lets see if I can manage to give another update by thursday.

Just a note to anyone who does Guyver voices. The Zoanoid voices are all done through a "G Minor" for the voice effect if I recall. 

Set up a list of what you need as far as Dialogue or voice work, and I'm sure I can scrounge something up, I'm sure others can contribute too.

I have to say the preliminary animation looks great, but I do agree with the knees needing to bend a little for walking.  Also the Health Bar looks pretty good.  Are you planning with the character icon to be character specific or is the Guyver silhouette the permanent look?  Also with some characters having regenerative abilities will that also affect the energy bar?

 

In terms of abilities that the characters have and how they affect other enemies.  I agree that Elegan's electrical attacks should stun the Guyver for a period of time, but don't just limit it to Guyvers.  Maybe just that Guyvers are more succeptable to it or are stunned a bit longer?  Maybe Zx-Tole has better resistance to Guyver's attacks like the Pressure Cannon and all.  Derzerb may take damage from the Guyver's head beam, but also has a little bit of energy replenished.  Or like maybe Enzyme does damage to both Health and Energy to Guyvers, but not to other enemies.  Just things that we have seen in the anime that can in some small way also be incorportated into the game.  However I don't think special abilites should be included with regular Zoanoids, I think they should be very generic fighters or cannon fodder if you will. 

 

These are all just a few ideas that can be bounced around and talked about in further detail if you're interested Odin.  I do not wish to overwhelm you because I know you already have a lot on your plate

[odin]

don't worry about it, this is just discussion at the moment but I prefer to keep talking about this stuff to keep people interested, contributing on what ever they can and thus increasing the activity of the site which is one of the goals I set when I decided to work on this, don't worry about me having too much work, anyways I'll be posting in a while the things needed to make this project work.

 

 

Edit: Done, all the necessary info I can think of at the moment has been posted on the first post for easy access.

Just for fun, a voice title. Still trying to figure out how to do the G Minor in voice editing.Guyver Rebirth Project - David Hayter immitation.mp3

[odin]

Sounds awesome although you did not have to say project, I wrote project but it is not the going to be in the title, would you mind doing it again? only this time say it like this:

"The Guyver........Rebirth"

thanks for your contribution V Guyver.

See if these are any good. 

Guyver Title tests.zip

[odin]

Very nice, the third one is the best, don't worry about the echo effect since i can do that myself, I could use the third one but there is too much noise in the background I'll see if I can clean it up but if you can try and do it again without any background noise I would really appreciate it.

[Archanfel]

OMG, im in.

 

I would love to do one of the guyvers voice overs.  I think aptom needs to have a very distinctive voice, like that of the manga series.

[odin]

alright then send me your voice demo and I will see if you get the role, thanks for being interested.

[*V Guyver]

It's not that easy recording in my basement, both due to my loud PC (that background noise you noticed) and my neighbors chaotic screams stomping on my ceiling.

Funny enough I was doing the David Hayter voice immitation, both my cat and the neighbors dog freaked out and started making noise, so I had to make a few takes in between their noise. I'm just glad no one is around when I do my voices, they'd think I was nuts. 

The third one was one of my other voices that I can pull off way easier, so when you need dailogue I can do it for you, I have other voices that can be used too. I was thinking of doing my take on the Guyver OVA introductions. Just have to have it written down and read out. 

I suppose I can maybe hook up a new mic to the laptop I fixed and use that from now on. That should fix the background noise issue from the PC at least. 
 

[odin]

No problem and thanks again for your contribution.

[Archanfel]

alright then send me your voice demo and I will see if you get the role, thanks for being interested.

Thank you my friend, i'd so love to be a part of this. Im quite good at doing voices and accents, i'll give you what i got and hopefully you'll like it.

Where exactly should i send my voice demo, sorry if this is common knowledge, im new here.

P.S. a little off topic i know, but i cant seem to post a picture for my avatar, it keeps saying member_profile_disabled, even though im logged in and registered 0.o

Im aware it will only accept jpeg files, and thats what i tried to add

Oh wait, i see V Guyver has uploaded a rar file for d/load, i like the way you click on it and i just starts, no website re-direct. Im ok now, i'll upload my samples for you.

Also,

 

i have adobe premier pro, its a very powerful editing tool.  I managed to get that zoanoid sound and as near to the guyver kind of echo as i could get.  Should i just send you my unedited voice?

Lol, i totally know how you feel.  My girlfriend is downstairs and i havent told her what im doing, so im kind of holding back a little until she goes out, then BIOBOOST!!! 

[odin]

You can attach your samples on this thread when you post or you can send it to me via PM which ever you are comfortable with, about the avatar I can't really help you with that since I'm not an admin or mod, you can ask Ryuki about it since he is in charge of the site and has been doing some update on the site so if anybody can help you with that he can.

[Archanfel]

<p>Thank you, i will post some voice samples soon.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>EDIT: I can also rip some sounds from the manga series for you, will take a couple of days.</p>

Odin, I noticed you said yo wanted a logo.

That's my ballpark for sure.

do you have any materials for it? inspirational image collections or colour palettes or anything like that?

[Archanfel]

Ok Odin,

 

i had a glance through this post to see if i missed anything and i see you are looking for effect sounds.  I am building a folder for you right now.  You will see that all the folders are put into order and are indexed by pictures of the characters themselves.  I reckon this will take me about a day, 2 max.  The contents will contain character and effects sounds, explosions, gravity attacks, high frequency blades, the works.

Not at the moment, I do have a particular drawing that I made but can't decide if It is for the logo or the character select screen, It has Sho in the middle and Agito and Aptom looking at each side, I just want the logo to be something original that we created and not just mounting a bunch of images, i don't mind using the original fonts of the series tho.

Awesome, thank you very much for your hard work.

guyver has many different logos in its different adaptations.

so I was wondering if you want a completely original logo design.

What you say about guyver 1 and 3... that is an illustration, not really a logo. I mean, most game covers has logo in the form of title, and then the illustration. do you see what i'm saying?

so when I asked about if you had any materials, I was thinking maybe you had looked at some other games or perhaps movies etc and seen some logos that you'd like to use as inspiration.

I also want to mention.. if you do wish to use guyver 1 and 3 as a basis for a logo design, they could certainly be used to craft some form of silhouette to use as a basis for a logo outline.

 

logo

+ illustration

[odin]

yes of course, I have no problem with that, here is something I thought of from the top of my head, the words "The Guyver" could be in style similar to the Crysis game logo with maybe a guyver unit in the background and a blue glow similar to the prince of persia 1 logo, dunno about the color of the font tho, the word "Rebirth" should be a bit smaller in white font below "The Guyver" word. Here are the logos for you to use as reference.

[*Jess♥]

nice guidance. I can work with that and have some good fun. thanks.
