I don't have any suggestions - I don't like intruding on a project I'm not going to actual work on, so I wouldn't want to come just suggest ideas.

But this is really cool. I'm really glad you're taking a shot at this. Best of luck.

>>15819495
Use steam engine, first person. Make Oblivion-style game or switch over to a 3rd person mod. The thing is f2p and has a damn slew of cool tools and modders you can recruit.

I think at least we should finalize this image. You know, make sure all the heroes we will want on it are there, and that they all have art, before we get too deep in the game development. Not that you guys have to stop the presses until it's done, just don't jump the shark.

I'm up for typing up some more of these descriptions for any archetype you guys think we need to add. I wrote up the priest, angsty warrior, travelling merchant, and pirate captain.

>>15819522
To explain what we are doing now: We have a coder guy who's making an engine in XNA (I think that's what it is called). It will be 2d with sprites and such, similar to an old-school rpg. The mechanics are kind of iffy at the moment but it won't be 3d or anything like that.

We're aiming to release a working game as soon as possible and then expand from there so the project does not stall.

>>15819495
Why do you have two irc channels? that seems excessive.

>>15819543
That idea is better than mine.

BUT MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT LAG.

OH LORDY WILL I HATE ON IT IF IT LAGS LIKE SS13.

>>15819534
So, you wrote up all the shitty ones.

You 'rang?

>>15819562
how in the fuck does a non multiplayer game lag?

Also who the ever is resizing NRFS should stop.
Seriously what the hell are you doing?

THERE'S TOO MANY COMPANIONS AND VILLAINS AND I WANT THEM ALL

ALL OF THEM

Something about the dog being too sad. I'm honestly not sure if this is better. Dogs are magic.

>>15819612
You're telling me I CAN'T play this with my dudes over the web?

Shit smells funny already, son.

>>15819562
It won't be like SS13. It will be a single-player game unless that's somehow subverted later on in the development.

>>15819627
I resized it to about the size of the others. Unless he's really short or something. I guess if it's better smaller, then just tell about how big the original was and I'll put it back. Also, saving these Spudarmen images.
>>15819570
I'm flattered.

>>15819563

I'm loving it, man.

>>15819534

As we were discussing last night, not all of the characters are going to be party material. That's just logistics speaking. But we're going to be needing NPCs, and drawing from the existing well is far easier than making them up from scratch. That way both /tg/ and /v/ can still contribute without turning things into a total clusterfuck.

For example, I think that the Angsty Mary Sue Warrior might work better as a recurring character, one that is fighting evil concurrently to you but is ultimately overshadowed (resulting in the mentioned mental breakdown).

>>15819551

That's a good question! I don't know!

>>15819630

Variety is the spice of life, but too much spice just makes things bland!

>>15819658
Here just use this.

>>15819651

While online play would be hilarious, it's just not the kind of game we're looking to make. Bro-Quest as an idea has always seemed to be about the characters and how they work (or clash) with one another.

>>15819638

I kind of like the first ears better, but I get what you mean about the sadness. I do love the Bloodhound vibes though.

We should probably have two shots for him anyway. Neutral, and "HELLO MASTER HOW ARE YOU I LOVE YOU LET ME LICK YOUR FACE"

>>15819719
WHERE'S THE BRAWNY GENTLEMAN WITH THE MONOCLESTACHE, AND WHO'S THIS IMPOSTOR?

>>15819796

I wish I could help, I'm just useless with computers though.

graphical updates that seem to have gotten undocumented.

Nameless Rank and File Soldier is now the (in)official mascot of BroQuest, right?

I'll dub him Redshirt, or Reddie for short.

Have an edit.

>>15819889
Hey shwig. Dat corrupt noble.

The primary appeal of this game is going to be in replay value, in order to see all the possible combinations of party dynamics. For this to work, I suggest dungeons be randomly generated. Imagine having to slog through the same goddamn cave for the 15th time just to see how the Amazon interacts with the Perverted Archmage. It'll bore the fuck out of people. Random dungeon generation would extend the lifespan of this game.

>>15819889

The noble looks cool, but I liked the old face more.

Also DAT EVIL WARRIOR

>>15819900

I don´t know, part of his character is being forgettable and unimportant, I aprove of the colors though.

>>15819929
We basically agree that this is the way to go. If anyone has experience with XNA/C#, our main programmer guy is looking for help on something like this (since he's doing a lot of the core mechanics instead).

>>15819929
Right there with ya. Go post that on the forum. Its open to guest posting apparently.

inb4 Nameless soldier becomes the most popular character. Even more popular then the waifus.

You know what we need? A Time-Displaced team member. He is from 5 000 years in the future, and got here by some freak accident involving an experimental way to travel faster through the galaxy.

He wears a power suit (Think Samus and Tekkaman, not Master Chief and Dead Space Guy), has a plethora of ridiculously advanced weapons at his disposal and has trusters to fly around and shit. He even has a ship from which he can order bombardments. However, he suffers from Chronic-Samus syndrome, and he starts out with all his items lost, and it's up to you to find his lost equipment. This includes his ship, so you will have to work for fast travel. If you get high enough items, you will eventually be able to transform your ship into a giant robot to fight against the Final Boss(es) more easily.

His abilities would be stuff like:

>Irradiate.
>Stun.
>Force Field.
>Motion Sensor Bomb.

Etc

>>15820011
cus' he's a grunt
like us

>>15820024
We had a Time-Displaced guy, but he got here in more of a "the villain did some bullshit to time-space" way and was from the 21st century, and was a soldier in the army about to return home. I think your idea seems better suited for a fantasy setting, as odd as it sounds, but I don't think it's necessary.

>>15820024
That does sound pretty interesting. Post it on the forums.

So I heard you guys like Nameless Rank and File Soldier.

>>15820100
We have 37 Team Members. We could add another one to round it up.

Also, can we have more than 3 party members? Because 3 is just too small compared to all the allies you could have. Also, found this on /v/ a long time ago. It is related to this. On top of choosing your team members, you could also choose from these classes. 3 of them. One Main class, a Secondary class and a Tertiary class.

Then, on top of that, there were main weapons and armor types. But I guess that won't be that necessary.

>>15820167
I no-one was not raped that night.

Bumping this due to awesome.

Here you go with another coloration. I made the one above too.

Instead of focusing 100% on the bros, shouldn't we focus on coming up with a hero for now? Maybe a list of heroes to select from. Or would we use the companion list to choose a hero?

Here's another image of the character select screen. I've been busy.

>>15820579
I think it's either the guy in the circle at the top of >>15819534 or pic related.

>>15820596
Both characters in your image look rather derpy but I'm happy that the guy gets the retarded armour just this one time.

>>15820587
>>15820587

>>15819889
They're ok. but the old noble had much more meorable face, and the old Warrior looked beefier.

Any chance of this being Mac-compatible, or should I just throw my computer out the window and get something that can actually run the games /tg/ likes?

by a request,more mouths

>>15820659
its unlikely it will. Although on a strange note, since this is being done in xna, it shouldn't be hard at all to port it to the xbawks if the project ever gets to that stage..

I know its in tables and all, but shouldn't the brotential stat be hidden in game? For added fun and shenanigans when interacting with them and among themselves.

>>15820667
I like you

Where the fuck is the Freddie Mercury Bard /tg/? Where the fuck is he

>>15820937
To Hell with you!

I like the Conan concept a bit more then the stringy Jrpg typical male protagonist.

>>15821052
I am with this guy. Just add a mace shaped like a penis and we are done.

i suggest conan-like for male, and sensible armor chick for female

>>15821069

Someone is channeling the Gay Old Warrior Priest, I see.

>>15820667
>>15819889

I kind of miss the flaming skull on the Evil Warrior, but I'm saving all of the old versions anyway so whatever!

Awesome work, Shwig.

>>15821080
>>15821069
>>15821052

We can already choose our bros and our enemy. Why shouldn't we be able to choose the hero as well?

So, this is going to use sprites? I wouldn't mind tossing my hat in to try and make some if ya want.

>>15821115

Because it exponentially increases the amount of dialogue lines for the party interaction? There's already >20^3 possible combinations for the party, if you add selectable heroes as well you'll end up with huge-ass amounts of dialogue for everything.

I don't think the player should get to choose the enemy directly. Rather, depending on player choices in the game, the boss would be determined over the course of the campaign.

Updated. I'll probably retype all the descriptions at some point as well, just because they're getting a little blotchy.

>>15821164

Not particularly, because the player will be choosing dialogue options regardless of what they look like.

But I still think we should go with something bland to start with. Those (>>15820596) would be fine for the endgame, but not for the start of Bro-Quest.

>>15821219
I like the PCs better in that one.

rolled 82 = 82

Question: can female protagonist have romance with the lifelong warrior friend? Or is he too bro to consider her anything other than a best friend for life?

>>15821239
As do I.

>>15821219

Don't mean to be discouraging, but I think we should stick with a male protagonist. characters like the catgirl or the hot-blooded rival might get a bit complicated otherwise.

>>15821325
This is one of the few games where you should do what Bioware did in Dragon Age 2 and simply make everybody bisexual.

Add three or four additional dialogues to address the PC's gender and that's it.

>>15821325

This has been my thought as well. While I'm all for gender diversity in most games, there's nothing wrong with just having a male protagonist.

Any other devs feel like putting their opinion forward?

Regarding the Mary-Sue hero....

Instead of making him only a jab at Angsty heroes, what about actually fleshing him out so he doesn't end up as whiny, and potentially give him his very own badass moments?

But first, his weapon. We said he had a sword, right? How about a Runic Sword of sorts, one that, at first sight, looks like slab of rock taken straight out of an ancient ruin filled with words in an ancient language. He uses this sword, at first, just to bash things with it, but later realizes that it can be used to channel one's magical energies to reshape the rune and the energy within it, giving him access to several weapons. It would also work as a catalyst of sorts.

As for his story, let's not have him realize he isn't the hero at the end of the game. Instead, he is told about it 1/5 into the game by the Wise Bird Guy himself. Instead of having a breakdown, like a pussy, he gets a breakdown like a man and starts beating your shit up because, regardless of his lame, bitching and angst, he IS better than you at most things, personality notwithstanding.

He then takes off and he stops being a permanent party member, appearing only at convenient spots to advance the plot and help you with the hardest fights, getting into fights with you in the middle of boss fights and generally changing from being helpful to annoying. He doesn't join you officially until near the end of the game, when he grudgingly accepts that you are better than him (your character eventually becomes the strongest, bar none), but not before you beat his shit up and slap him to wake up. However, he still hates you and his brotitude becomes 0, and you never really become friends. After the end of the game, he just goes away without saying a word.

As for his stats, he would have high stats (being a Mary Sue) probably the second or third highest. His main stats would be Magic and Strength, with the rest being higher than average.

>She sees your penis

>>15821365
Liked the original design a lot more.

>>15821365
I'm not sure that's how abdominal muscles work.

>>15821208
very nice although as I noted in last night's thread I prefer the older Dragon King design as it had this wonderful primal Typhon-esque feeling to it that the new design is lacking

>>15821354
As for balance, when he does appear, he is a lot of help. Weakening Bosses that would take lots of grinding to beat, saving you from suffering some fatal wounds that, with other characters, would end up with you having lowered stats and maybe even killing some enemies for you. However, like I said, he is not consistent. Other characters will support you through the entire game, this one only does it in short bursts.

>>15821391
The old diabolic ally was nicer as well.

>>15821365

I'm going to have to agree with >>15821377 and >>15821380 on this one, man. It's okay, but there are definitely some issues with it.

A few too many lines used on the abdomen. It just looks kind of wrinkled, rather than the toned and sexy look you were presumably shooting for.

Also, the expression comes across as more nervous than manic.

Benevolent Lich - A wizard made immortal to watch over a now-ruined city, he joins your group to continue his undying quest for good, despite being a stereotypically evil type of creature. In his culture, being necromantically raised is an honor, and all his summons consist of many of his old servants now privileged to serve the greater good after death. Wears a porcelain human mask to hide his eery skeletal face.

Power - 1
Cunning - 7
Magic - 10
Brotential - 6 (surprisingly personable for a lich)

>>15821470
And the tattoo makes her look like some cheap dominatrix.

I'd also say that the sorceress should be slim and slightly frail, and not another marathon runner. She's power 2.

>>15821497
And of course, he must look similar to this.

+5 brotential if the Brawny Gentlemen is in the group. Two could carry a conversation for days, and it would be the most fascinating and sophisticated social intercourse ever devised.

Bonus points for having the Lich actually be the Gentlemen's former mentor.

>>15821517
It would be totally awesome if the lich would walk around in a plague doctor outfit in cities and villages. So he isn't recognised as a lich but people still keep away from him.

>>15821497

>>15821547
...OH GOD YES

>>15821547

but if you use drew you have to include "loved by dwarves" cus dwarves love drew

>>15821572
DON'T FORGET, drew's blackguard girlfriend/lieutenant/bodyguard/cool person

rolled 10 = 10

1. Random dungeons are a must, but with this goes another potential random for you: random villain.

That way, you can have the Deception aspect of the villains applied through game narritive, without the PCs realizing it.

A High deception foe (like corrupt noble) could have a set of random, carmine Sandiego-like bluffs to push against the players. "A troll army comes from the south", "the earth shook last night in Farawaysia, go investigate", This giant stone idol is vitally important to the lich-king, destroy it!" Etc.

How about we let NRAFS be the hero.

Lizardfolk Mercenary - Sold into slavery, escaped, and then became travelling warrior for hire. He cannot speak your language, but shows a glimmer of predatory intelligence and understands rudimentary signals and gestures. It is not clear why he travels with you, but he keeps a strange golden idol with him that resembles you. Fights with a spear as well as some slight tribal god magics for healing and calling storms.

>Repost from the last thread

"The Daring Sky Captain"

Power = 5
Cunning = 8
Magic = 0
Bro = 4 (8 if you manage to help them adjust to their surroundings)

Info:

A strange craft crash-lands in town or near the area at around the beginning of your journey. The person who emerges is a strange individual, oddly dressed and speaking of things people do not understand; flying vessels soaring the great skies, and traversing the wild blue yonder.

Perhaps they were grounded by the villain, but they join you on your quest. A decent fighter themselves with strange weapons, they are quite daring and never fail to come up with wild plans or suggestions. They are however an outsider and considered strange/aloof by most everyone. Can you help them adjust to their surroundings?

Near the end of the adventure, they may find the chance to return to the sky. If you have attempted to help them adjust, can you convince them to accept their new life and see things through with you, or would it be better for this stranger to return to their strange "land"?

>>15821208
I think that the old Noble was bit more memorable/readable.
I also liked how the old evil warrior was a hulking piece of armor, looked beefier. Reminded me awful lot of Horrigan from F2.

>>15821630
woops forgot dem stats

Power - 8
Cunning - 6
Magic - 4
Brotential - 4 (8 once he believes you are an avatar of his god/goddess.)

>>15821470
Tweaked the eyes (the looking down contributed a lot to the "slightly insane and promiscuous"), made the smile slightly thinner to accentuate it being more of a grin, simplified the abdomen and took off the rose tattoo.

>>15821659
Open her eyes up all the way.

>>15821644

>old evil warrior

The old Evil Warrior was actually designed for the role that the Steam Warrior filled. Someone shoved him into the villain page before the artist could correct them--hence why his armor was covered in gears.

>>15821659

Much better! Definitely emphasized the formerly-villainous side more than the original.

Great! But woahhey, when was the Dragon King re-updated?

I was thinking,
(and obviously too late)

That all the characters, should be found in the game world, instead of picking them up at the very start and just running with them.

Token Mysterious Secret Character.

Is he plot relevant? Possibly. Is he the strongest? No. Does he have any interaction with the party? Hardly.

You found him in a secret area and he's more like an easter egg than anything else, he's covered head to toe in scarves. Probably an allusion to something, but you have no idea what.

>>15821888

You need to come to the IRC, he was updated ages ago.

>>15821659
Looking back at the thread, this is my favorite edit. But I have to say it makes her look a tad too evil more so than mischievous.

Got an idea, a bit of an odd one and it ain't perfect but... what if you start with a fairly large party, at least half a dozen allies besides you, and during the course of the game your party becomes smaller. The decisions you make during events forces one or the another leave at different times. Not every event will and most don't effect your current party, but you can't get to the final part of the game with more than you and your three best friends. I don't think I've seen anything like that done before.

>>15821936
The Elder God with tentacle and eyes

You gotta ask him or who ever is in charge to ask him I just imagine him his voice to be that,

So far i don't think other think this way except like 3 people

Do the artist agree with me D:

I would be super happy if the Narrator creator said yes :D

renovated Dragon King.


now with more dragon.

>>15822031
That is an interesting idea. Swing over to the forums and make a post about it. I don't think you even have to register.

>>15821904
A modified version of this is that you pick the characters you want at the start and if any die you can find all the other bros in the game world to replace the missing member.

>>15822048
Could you give him two extra eyes on each side, more prominent fangs and a more decayed look on his wings?

He doesn't look very ancient nor evil that way.

what will combat be running like anyway? going the simple Earthbound or Final Fantasy style? my reflex when i saw the original image on /v/ that it would be a Dragon Age knockoff/mod, but could prove difficult to pull off

as far as members joining, will they have to be worked into the storyline/locations, or be preemptively in the group when the game itself begins

Nope, its still a japanese dating sim. It just happens to be set in medieval times.

Game devs, I have no suggestions, only praise.

Keep it up you beautiful bastards.

>>15822568
I-I'm okay with that.

>>15822555

This

>>15822555
I like the new physique for the Monarch, but I can agree; the depressed look of the old one made him stand out among the other guys around him.

>>15822555
>>15822649

That was kind of the problem. The Evil King was never supposed to be a tragic figure, just a more mundane and human evil like the Corrupt Noble.

>>15822528
>Implying the creators aren't jews
>Implying they aren't releasing day one DLC of Classic Dick Ass Thief

>>15822685
Ah, too bad. The other drawing had more personality, but if that isn't what you're aiming for, then I guess the new one's perfect.

>>15822692
I doubt you can sell a game that's being brainstormed on the internet.
It could steal your credit card date, like the dick-ass game it is.

>>15822555
It looked tragic because the original write-up was that he wasn't evil at all and was simply an old king that his greedy family manipulated to become rich and powerful. They simply kept the art because they didn't want to redraw a monarch. The new art is just a greedy, assholish fuck, which is what the description says he is.

>>15822649
>>15822685
Then how about this as a reason for the king looking miserable but still not being a tragic villain:

He's a dictator, he backstabbed his way to power, and now he lives his whole life terrified that the same will happen to him. He looks miserable because he sees enemies everywhere, he was never a nice person, but being constantly frightened has just made him even worse. He doesn't have the same big psychotic grin as most of the villains, but in some ways that makes him more terrifying, because he does horrific things with a self-pitying indifference, forever trying to spot the next imagined betrayal.

I have some ideas for a type of sidequest
>Assassinations/Bounties
Throughout the game the MC could be approached by different sheriffs/officials or crime lords/buisnessmen who need someone killed or captured for a small to hefty prize

Some of these will be straight forward:
>The guy is here kill/capture/confront this guy at this time
Others will be more in depth and makes the player think and investigate
>I don't who this guy is, I don't know where he is, here are the few (sometimes no) clues we have, locate him and kill him

Depending on the cause/person/etc. your companions would come in and offer advice, make comments and even intervene with the situation.
Like the Paladin and Steam Knight will usually take the moral high ground and will advise/command you to not kill the person or not do the assignment at all. Obeying/Disobeying their commands will obviously affect your brometer with them.

Whereas characters like the Devil and the Thieves will tell you ways to put the situation in your favor.

I think it sounds kinda fun

>>15822524
The old evil warrior was way better, this is a clear downgrade, I don't understand how anyone would chose it.

I also liked the old eldritch horror, way more chaotic and without hints of symmetry nor sense, this one is just a black shit with centipede tongue and t-rex arms.

And I liked most the middle version of the dragon kind, with shadowed profile head.

Finally, if we make official that the fallen hero and the cursed sword are connected, aren't we gettin a single villain? And shouldn't the stats be synergistic?
Sword 2 4 8 Hero 8 4 2

>>15822767

New Eldritch Horror has a slightly new direction.

New-New Dragon King is awesome.

Fallen Hero and Cursed Sword are not always going to be together, just some of the time. However the person updating just put the demonsword version in.


Also, new update with fancy buttons. Probably the last for tonight.

>>15822767

The problem with the old Evil Warrior, as previously mentioned, is that it was never supposed to be the Evil Warrior in the first place. It was a design for the Steam Knight, hence all the gear designs.

I kind of agree, in that the old Cosmic Horror seemed slightly more abstract. But I also think the new version works slightly better in game terms. We'll see.

Dragon King is likely still a work in progress.

Whether they become a single villain or not is up for debate. The Demon Sword may only become a villain after the Tragic Hero is defeated, sought out by another villain or perhaps corrupting a member of the party.

>>15822716
Well, in that case I liked the old designs better. Both the graphics and the story.

Also I like the new ex-villian, however I think she should be more curvy if she is meant to be more sexy, though IDK, I do like it.

New Vengeful Viking Man. Thoughts?

>>15823553
work on eyes then its perfect

>>15823553
Get rid of those horns on that helmet or I will destroy your family.

>>15823553

HOLY SHIIIIIIIIT

>>15823571
make him a bit war torn i guess lol

>>15823563

The eyes seem fine to me.

>>15823571

THIS ISN'T "HISTORICAL ACCURACY QUEST"

He needs to look a bit more angry.

>>15823553
Don't like the nose.

Can you do this helmet? Don't mind if you leave the horns, however.

Also, thanks for the semi-request for the viking, just thought it should the next to update, makes the thing look nicer is all.

>>15823571
come at me bro.

>>15823553
Doesn't look manly, viking nor vengeful enough to me.

He shouldn't hide the left hand, a true viking would either try to grab the spectator one or just show a clenched fist.

Also, the short staffed mallet is the weapon of Thor, a sledge hammer isn't.

Finally I'd put more hair, more bulge in his paints and something wolf and or winter related in it.

>>15823647
Fixed

>>15822568
again, mostly took it as a knockoff of Dragon Age in particular, but anime and vidya stereotypes in general. hardly any character that hasn't been portrayed a half dozen times or so somewhere (the first few characters especially). the best bro is wearing Kamina glasses, man! your tears bring back your pet back from stone like Ash from the pokemon movie! it's not made to be original, just fun

my party still stands at being gentleman, amazon, and orc. team hilarious meatshield, go! story wise, marry the amazon. they'd all wind up fighting eachother before we left the first town, doing major property damage before sudden +20 Respect. then we have to run/fight our way out of town from angry villagers

possibly of note: no wimsical/cute chubby characters?

>>15823647
Oh man, this horns give me a boner.

>>15823647
Give it the eye guard from >>15823622 and you're perfect.

What is WRONG with you?

>>15823420
Emmy Cicierega

>>15823690
Definitely needs:

Jolly and portly merchant

He is friendly and cheerful and quite rotund, the epitome of "fat and happy". He joins your quest because he has been stricken with the bug for ADVENTURE! or so he claims. Truth is he is a retired assassin who needs to get the hell out of his home town before his past catches up with him. A master of poisons.

Power - 3
Cunning - 8
Magic - 2
Brotential - 9 (5 if you start digging to deep into his past, 0 if you confront him over being a former assassin)


Yes, this character's inspiration is Torneko from Dragon quest 4 and Garrek from ST: DS9

Missing a simpleton archetype.

One of those mentally deficient giant lovable oafs who usually tag along as sentient pack mules but prove their worth after going berzerk and raping everything when someone they care for is hurt.

>>15823733
>implying vikings bore horns on their helmets

Get out.

>>15823723
Make it so that the left fist is showing, this is really bothering me.

And the helmet should be more "viking"like. With a bear's skull and reindeer horns.

>>15823795
Thank is fucking amazing.

Thanks, man.

I love you guys, what are you gonna do next?

I suggest old grizzled uncle, only cos you can do a lot there. I also think you should give him a beard.

>>15823795
NOW WE ARE TALKING

>>15823795
Could you... could include an upgrade that makes his helmet have shades?

>>15823817
old grizzled uncle it is.

>>15823759
We have a merchant. Look at the bottom row in >>15819534 and he's there. It's pretty much just the fat and happy part though. I think Torneko is pretty much the best parallel to the one already there.

>>15823832

>>15823835
Thanks, man.

I also think he should have old fashioned shades and a deal with it face.

If he's the uncle thats trained you, seems like the kinda thing he would have.

>>15823865
Stop that, the horns look bad arse.

>>15823849
Thats looks terrible

>>15823865

Get out.

/v/ ruined the original picture with all of their additions.
To be honest most of theirs were better than yours.
Not that i wish to diss the lovely viking man art or anything.
Also you haven't reverted Dick-Ass Thief to his true form, the greatest mistake /v/ ever made.
WAIT A MINUTE? YOU REDID ALL THE ORIGINAL ART?
Holy fuck why would you do that?
Also you added ten more art styles and made it more cluttered.
Just... why? Am i the only one that appreciated the fact the characters in the original were stereotypes? These are just random character ideas.
I guess I'll just be written off as picky or no fun though.

>>15823865
Well SOMEONE is buttmad.

>>15823850
Excellent. Thank you.

>>15823896
why so serious bro

this is just a random stupid shit to pass time really its not like its a real game or anyrhing

this may die in a year or two

its weird how it still survived after a year really....

>>15823896
>Implying there won't be Classic Dick Ass Thief DLC

Come on, it's not like they can do a game with a million characters all at once.

>>15823896

No man, you just have your opinion, you can always ignore this threads and consider them "non canon".

I agree in the dick-ass thief part though

>>15823919
I don't know.
I'm not exactly sagebombing the thread, its just whenever i see these shitty changes i remember how good the original was.
You guys find this fun and that's nice i guess.
Its just sad to watch a really nice thing be made worse and worse constantly because everyone wants their idea put in.

Just figured out how Brotential could work as an in-game mechanic, instead of as just a "they have more dialogue options".

it's the amount you'll get to upgrade your friends.

These upgrades grant your allies improved special abilities, better stat baseline (for example:: Dick-ass thief starts out as the best Cunning / Good Power / Good Magic choice in the game, but has only 1 brotential. If you go out of your way to be a bro to him (through dialogue choices and party equipment distribution and whatnot,) he'll become MORE cunning, more Powerful, and maybe even more magical, but only once.

Meanwhile, someone like your Nameless Rank and File Soldier: whose stats start out crappier than anyone else (i think), gets 10 solid upgrades (at different points in the game)

he'll probably get his first upgrade well before the Dick-ass thief ever would, and his last upgrade right about the same time that the Dick-ass thief got his first one.

Dick ass Thief:
Brotential 1
After completing his lengthy fetch-quest, breaking into a prison, solving the murder of his fence, raiding an unhallowed graveyard for loose silverware, murdering an unseelie fey god boss-monster, and convincing him you are really on his side... *Ding!* Dick-Ass thief gained new ability! (Rope Arrow!) Dick Ass-Thief's abilities have improved! (Power +3! Cunning +4, Magic +4!)

Nameless rank and file soldier?
Brotential 10:
After the first encounter, when they actually get to set up camp...
"So: I'm (protagonist), What's your name?"
*DING!* Nameless Rank and File Soldier gained a new ability! (Sound Off!) Nameless Rank and File Soldier's abilities have improved! (Power +2, Cunning +1, Magic +1)! Do you want to name your Nameless Rank and File Soldier?

>>15823943
>Worse and worse
Don't lie, original wasn't any good either.

>>15823896

>/v/ ruined the original picture with all of their additions.

The version I first posted to kickstart things had the worst offenders removed. Picture related.

>To be honest most of theirs were better than yours.

Not denying it. They started off with the most basic archetypes, so by the time /tg/ got to it things were getting more complex. Many of the newer ones will be NPCs of varying importance, rather than player characters.

>Also you haven't reverted Dick-Ass Thief to his true form, the greatest mistake /v/ ever made.

There may be easter eggs along this line. I think we all agree that the original Dick-Ass Thief was hilarious.

>WAIT A MINUTE? YOU REDID ALL THE ORIGINAL ART?
>Holy fuck why would you do that?
>Also you added ten more art styles and made it more cluttered.

There are only two new styles here. We're working on making them all fairly cohesive.

>Just... why? Am i the only one that appreciated the fact the characters in the original were stereotypes? These are just random character ideas.

Again, we're going to be keeping to the cliches and archetypes in this game. Some of the more complex characters will still be included, but in other roles.

>I guess I'll just be written off as picky or no fun though.

No, you have legitimate concerns, and you wouldn't be the first to bring them up. But sometimes changes need to be made for a project like this, and not everyone can be satisfied. With any luck, we'll at least be able to make something that people can have fun playing. That's the only goal we as a team have in mind.

>>15823865
>>15823842

>>15823951

I like it


>Do you want to name your Nameless Rank and File Soldier?

Heresy

can I see the original dick ass thief?

>>15823972

Brilliant!

>>15823974
Maybe if you name him he loses some stats.

>>15823972
I approve this compromise. Just because its fucking hilarious.

>>15823995
See:
>>15820204

On the "Luck" builds.

Except it was a stick figure. And yeah, the glasses were there originally. People liked him because his description made him sound like a massive troll and the abilities the OP gave him were overpowered. "The ability to steal all equipment from your adversaries." when they could only use their abilities with their equipment.

>>15823995

>Implying I won't find a way into this game.

>>15823896
This is /tg/. We're very adept at taking a nice idea and ruining it. In this case we outsourced most of the work to /v/.

>implying he hasn't already stolen your heart

>>15823968
You...
You...
That...
Okay.
You just gave me the most sensible reply i have ever received on this website, and those certainly weren't entirely sensible things i said.
That actually alleviated many of my concerns.

Also the part that made the dickass thief balanced was that he would basically betray and try to kill you for your money later.

Personally I just all the art on the hero and villain images done (both updated stuff which we're doing now, and the new party members) and I'm not interested any further than that. I think making a real game is an alright idea, but this will forever be a duo of images used for "choose your adventure" threads at it's core. So, godspeed drawfags.

>>15823972
Change his weapon to a spear and axe. If he's so concerned about tactics he's not going to use a rock-hammer.

>>15823972

Now just adjust the font and position of the text and it receives a thumbs up from me.

ok so since I haven't read the thread, and haven't got the time now.
someone please answer me.
Do you guys need a C# programmer?

i had no idea what the fuck the relative character was wearing.

>>15824065

I try to keep things professional.

>Also the part that made the dickass thief balanced was that he would basically betray and try to kill you for your money later.

Whether he will betray you is something we'll be deciding later, but something we've been mulling over is this: having the Dick-Ass Thief in your party reduces all drops and rewards of gold (or items) by 30%, which is how much he's stealing. Raising his brotential lowers this amount over time, to a minimum of 10%.

Obviously these numbers could be reworked. Also, there's the possibility of him stealing the Cursed Demon Sword after you defeat the Tragic Fallen Hero, leading to shenanigans.

>>15824111
Think it needs to be a bit bigger, maybe he has a beard and some age lines.

Other than that, great.

>>15824073
Do you mean spear + round shield and one handed sword as a back weapon? With maybe a couple throwing axes at the belt.

>>15824103

We have a programmer, but it sure as shit ain't me.

Post something on http://broquest.proboards.com/index.cgi#general (you don't need to register) and we can get back to you.

>>15823995
>implying I'm not going to stab you in the dick
I don't have it though

>>15824145

>implying he won't give you a dick just to stab you in it

That's just how he rolls.

>>15824145

edited for less thickness.

>>15824103
>>15824103
project is using XNA framework, so that shit is C#
We have a programmer who says he can handle what he is currently work on by himself but admits that he'll need help in the future. So hop on the IRCs, keep an eye on the forum. Watch for the threads.

>>15824073
>>15824139
Just give him a small axe instead. Like the one-bladed one in here: >>15823663


They are meant to serve the same functions, but if you wanna get unique.

>Horns is not as smart as twin. there is a 2 point difference between their cunning and their strength.

>Horns focuses more on Berserker Rage and is night unstoppable when in dangerous situations. He is a High Risk High Reward character.

>Twin focuses more on weapon mastery. He is not as strong as horns, but, instead of going for critical hits out of dumb strength, he goes for weak spots. Because of this, he is a more sustained character, but he won't be of much help in tight spots.

Also, if you pick one of them, expect boss fights with the other Viking and their very own team of bizarro team members.

>>15824139
Sure, that works. Just anything less awesomederp than a rockhammer.

>>15824209
that's some pretty big hair he's got there

Updated again. Left out the twin viking until someone convinces me he should actually be on the sheet, and ideas/appearance is settled.

Might wind up in the game anyway as a joke, who knows.

>>15824248
>Might wind up in the game anyway as a joke, who knows.
He must.

>>15824248
>>15824259
He's obviously an NPC who will show up if you have the Viking in the party. He says would offer his aide if you hadn't already allied yourself to his brother. Which he calls "that annoying stereotype".

>>15824247
you are absolutely correct.

>>15824334

MANLY AS FUCK

>>15824334
Very nice.

Can I suggest the cursed undead knight?

He is my favourite character after my bro.

>>15824347
>that feel when someone calls the character you originally drew "favourite"

>>15824347

Some of the other artists have claimed that one for the moment, though it will likely be for tomorrow.

>>15824312
I approve of this. This is the plan, after all. He is not a full character, just an alternative for those who don't like horns, but don't want the old viking to disappear. When you meet the viking, it turns out it is really his twin brother. He starts talking shit about how much of an insecure faggot his brother is for using horns, and how that will get him killed, and offers you to take him on the spot instead. You can refuse or accept. They are almost identical on all regards except the fact that there is a 1 point difference in some stats.

Horns gets:

10 strength, 3 cunning.

Twin gets:

9 strength, 4 cunning.

>>15824305
I'd rather see the symbol that both Aleena and Morgan (pictured) wore (they were some of the first named iconics that D&D ever had). Same applies to the cleric kid.

>>15824370
Well then, thank you for putting that bitch in.

My cynical awesome team is Warrior Friend, Tsuendro and Undead Knight.

>>15819495


Which reminds me that I have not chosen a team yet.

Elven Time Mage, Dubious Devil and Dick ass Thief. And I will literaly piss on the Elf to get her to hate me.

Minimum Brotitude run.

>>15823951

This is a great idea

Also, Oh God, Warrior Bro would level like crazy but then die on you, making you choose a new, much less powerful person

>>15819495
Hmm yeah, I haven't chosen yet either.
Well, I'm sure about Nameless Rank and FiIe soldier, Cursed Undead Knight, but I don't know about the last one.

>>15823951
I was thinking it was sort of like that, but more like how hard it was to grind up the Bro Level. 10 would be easy 1 would be hard as fuck.

>>15824512
Good, but he looks a little stunted.

>>15824512
ITS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE.

>>15824512

Well I ain't gonna stop ya!

I'll refrain from updating the sheet with him if the others still want to try their hand at it.

forgot the fingers on the right arm..

The Druid should be based on this pic

If thats alright with everyone

I'll run with Prince, Rival and Cursed Knight.
I don't need love interests or a caster/healer.
Wait i can be the caster/healer.
EVEN BETTER.

>Friend to all living things druid
I would be mad if not for the fact that it IS a stereotype.
I like murderous predatory druids who kill people that fuck with nature and attack loggers with swarms of insects.
I don't know if there is still room for new villains, but perhaps villain druid?
Could give the friendly druid a purpose as an NPC that helps you fight him.

Here's the villain sheet as it stands now.

>>15824703
The old cosmic horror was better.

outrageous.

>>15824724

>>15824724
Okay, that's amazing. You're amazing.

I think you should do the Dwarf mechanic next, to almost finish the top row.

Sorry, I'm a sucker for a nice layout.

>>15824724
OMG YESS!!!

We need muscle wizard in this. He can be brawny gentleman's long lost brother.

>>15824743

LOOK AT THAT MECHANIC

LOOK AT HIM

Shwig did his own version of this so I dunno which we'll use.

>>15824952

I do like it, but I'm not quite sure if it suits the text. This mechanic seems a bit surlier, while Shwig's is a bit closer to the "polite" guy the concept was shooting for.

>>15824931
I love the fact I save a new one of these every hour.

Love you guys, you talented bunch.

What's the next characters being done?

I think we need another Orc in his. Maybe a halfie to counterbalance the Troublemaker that's already there. Make her female for kicks (Potentially leading to a sensitive side-quest that may determine a lowered Brotential, or an increased one... depending on how the protag of EITHER sex handles her apparent crush on them).

Give her a reasonably interesting and useful class, as well, like a Ghost Hunter paladin/ranger dual class specializing in... you guessed it, slaying undead.

Favors light or medium armor, and ranged attacks with a heavy crossbow, but maybe falls into that "praying sniper" syndrome Saving Private Ryan popularized.

Hopefully not too complex, but I think it fills the ranged class stereotype nicely. She could also be modeled visually -- at least a bit -- after the orc dame with the nifty hat from Pathfinder.

Get in IRC for the latest lo lo on everything being done.

I think the problem is that we already have several tough chicks, a paladin, and an archer, and this seems to just be a conglomeration of the three. Not that it isn't a good idea, but we're trying not to overlap things too much here.

Sadly I got no idea how to use IRC.

Also OP, we need a new thread with a quick list of the info, cos this is gonna crash.

Well personally I'm thinking she's NOT a tough chick, which is the kicker. It's a reverse-stereotype in a lot of ways. Sensitive girly half-orc. By the end of the side-quest she'd either be aloof and distant from the group but dedicated to seeing the quest to its conclusion (low Brotential) or much more open and comfortable with "letting her hair down" (high Brotential).

Turning the stereotype of the tough woman warrior around is a stereotype in itself, since it just plays on the opposite. The idea that she's a sniper, half orc, and yet also passive and feminine is ideally the point. She would lack the tsundere/ cutesy/ tough/ sexpot/ stonefaced that most of the other female characters have going on.

Basically, this. Only green and tusked. And hatted.

You can even be the love interest. Just pick the girl PC.

make it a wrench-gun and i'm in love with that drawing

support adding more non-humans to the mix

also, does the zombie knight talk?

We need an annoying small fey creature somewhere on there. I'd say a halfling if this was PnP, but since this is a video game, let's go with fairy since they are notoriously annoying in them. Also it should start with the player, so they can't even by pass having them as a party member at all.

Change the gourmand into a Halfling Pastry Chef. He still wants ingridents for his magical pies. But he's a a halfling with pies.
