This is a good idea, I will try to whip something together.

Well, kind of like this

but with a face and in a light grey suit.

Messily slaped together progress bar FTW!

And also, did you know? Holy magic such like cure can damage undeads too! =w=b
Can I change his story I think? Because I change my mind.

And his age too into 18. And a human possessed by the power.

@DrThundercritic: Allright, looks good. I will move it to the script later.

I'm actually really curious to see how this will turn out. But I feel bad for Natsuru for having to do all the heavy lifting to meet everyone's requests.

Is there anything we can do to help share the labor?

So far, it's Derpy Hooves, Natsuru, Katie Starshine and myself helping. We got quite a bit of work done yesterday. If you want to help though, I would ask Katie or Natsuru.

On the topic of Arte's, is this the kind of thing that means? I've got a move based on the Osaka Shoe Kick ,and I want to have a variation which enhances it with a Falcon Kick. Would that be a Arte?

An "Arte" is any kind of special attack, but we will be replaceing that word with something else later. (Arte is a term used in the Tales Of seires, we are borrowing it for now)

And if you want a small variation of an attack to be learned by useing a attack many times that wouled be an Alter Arte.

@ Dr.Thundercritic: You can change your backstory as much as you want for now. However, there is a invisible deadline for this type of stuff, so makeing up your mind quickly will be for the better.

I'm working on a character design. I'm makingg a 16 bit version. Is that cool Natsuru?

Well, since the stuff isn't final yet, Ima work on my moveset and backstory.

We where aiming for 16 bit Game Boy Advance size anyway. So go ahead!

Ok Here it is:
Name: Ryuki
Tribe: Human (with possessed special angel powers)
Age: 18
Story:
On the real word, his alone, his parents died from the murderer 12 years ago.
The murder didn't found until now.
Now he was learning at collage, but his got a random job to get more cash to live.
His got kym account since 5 years ago, he check the forum called: "Check out this totally legit video about something extremely awesome and is not a trap" then he clicked the forum. But the computer sudden freeze.
Ryuki: Hu? (press ctrl+alt+delete) What the? (he press again) What the hell is wasn't work!? tilt the cpu Come on!? (switch off the computer) There. (automatic switch on computer) What! Is this alive!? (unplug the computer then the computer is off but suddenly turn on automatic again) Aw men!? You joking right? Come on is just a dream right? (slap himself) Aw!!! Okay? The hard way. (punch himself) Awww! AWWW!!! Damn that's hurt. Okay, this is not a dream right? (sudden a portal is open and the monitor is just like vacuum) WHAT THE?! (holds the random object to hold it) EERR!! Come on!!!! (then he been suck) NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(7 hours later in the forest at night)
Ryuki: (wake up) Where am I? Damn, my head, is hurt, is feels me is full of- (founds an evil eye with injection) Wait what is this? (sudden the evil injection eye thing is automatic move jump on his left) NOOO!!!! MY EYE! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My eye (his left eye is red, to use ability and turn into dark angel) I have wings too!? No. (Manly tears) NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7 days later, he become a slayer, he joins many quest and kills many monsters, his got no friend. Anyway, I think is cool? I think?

Natsuru,I think i wanna exclude myself from the game because:
1.i've been quite busy with something that will take ALOT of time.
2.with me being busy,im not be able to keep in touch with the project

So i guess im just gonna lurking the thread sometimes,sorry

@Valt Boy if you listen closely enough you may be able to hear me facepalming over the internet.

Okay, so I was thinking about the general plot line in relation my list of rpg constants, and I was wondering how exactly the inevitable Overworld Map would fit in exactly. I'm wondering if maybe for the majority of the first two acts you are confined to a map that represents KYM alone, but when the stakes get raised and the internet censorship starts rearing it's ugly head, maybe that's when the cast gets the Airship (Look, it's supposed to be at least partially a homage to 16bit era RPGs, right? Therefore, Airship) and maybe a few other parts of the internet open up? I mean, it strikes me as the sort of thing where it would make sense to sort of unite the rest of the internet to fight the censors and such, given that that's not the sort of thing any denizen of the internet would likely choose to ignore. Of course, all of the non optional characters would have to be recruited before the ship was given, so it'd probably come with the last character you need to recruit.

@ Vault Boy: You where set to be a NPC with a importance ranking of 1 anyway. :/

@Ardent Gamer: The story so far will have us exploreing other websites early. I won't give too much away though. The airship is questionable, but we probably are going to get something that will allow us to fly quickly around.

On the subject of Optional Characters: DON'T REQUEST THAT POSITION! We will probably open up slots for that after we have the Alpha of the game done, but it's something we won't be doing now.

(For those who don't know: A games "Alpha" Is when the game is playable from start to finish, and a games "Beta" is the debug phase.)

You can ignore this if you want, but maybe your mode of transportation from website to website could be a tricked out taskbar or something of the sort.

Lol, that wouled make a good visual gag.

However, I just remembered that KYM has a bus. (If anyone knows where the gif to that is)

Now I'm half expecting the final mode of transportation to be that bus acting like the magic schoolbus…

What the goddamn hell are you guys doing? Is this still going on? Wow.

Well, we had to do a plain refresh of the game, so yeah. But this time, we're making serious progress.

It sounds almost as though you resent this project… But then again, not much can really be told for certain from quickly composed posts like, I assume, this one.

Fu*k your shit, I'm enjoying myself.

And yes, this is probably the most progress we have made thus far.

I'd say this calls for a party. As in I would say, but high expectations asian dad is mocking us in the distance, I know it.

Replace (manly tears) to (tears), I didn't edit >.>

My character bio:
Name: Natsuru Springfeild, "Natsuru".
Age: Apparent: 18, True: Several thousand as a result of a old experiment.
Race: Human
Bio: A early adopter of the "Internet World", Natsuru barely remembers the years she spent outside in the real world, or what she even really looked like for that matter. Natsuru lives on the outskirts of Know Your Meme in a large version of the Winchesters Mansion and rarely invites people to visit. (My intro will probably be in this mansion.)
Natsuru's varioius capeabilaties in Magic have granted her the abilaty to float (and later, the abilaty to fly at high speeds with the added power of wings) in air. Natsuru uses a twin pair of bracelets straped to both arms to cast magic; a removeable one on her right wrist and another sealed to her upper left arm. The later is a parting gift given to her by her real world freind.

During the event's of the game, Natsuru uses her mansion to help KYM-Tan's party escape the border of Know Your Meme before joining the group in the dungeon after. Natsuru makes close ties to a few of the party members, and eventually get's into a relationship with one.

Name: Cameron, aka "Angrypwnzer"
Age: "15…give or take about 120 years"
Race: 34/35 human, 1/35 Time Lord ( And nobody as any idea on how the hell that works out)
Bio: A headstrong punk who's loud mouth could easily rival Black*Star or Kamina any day. Being part Time Lord, he's a bit eccentric, often getting distracted, pissed off, or hyper ("I'm like a freakin' Mood Swing Acrobat! I've got an entire army of split personalities!) But never, ever, evereverever EVER piss him off when he's ready to fight. HE. WILL. KILL YOU. Carries around a home-made "Plasma Screwdriver", a couple minecraft tools, and a bottomless briefcase that holds his tools and weapons.
Some in- battle quotes:
(When critically hit) "Oh….that tears it! You're going down!"
(When his attack becomes a critical hit) "And here's a big FUCK YOU!"
(When he's low on health) "Don't count me out yet!"
(When hit with a status ailment) "You dirty little…..GRAH!"
(Upon victory) "…..and STAY dead!"

So, if this game is finished, there is part 2 right? The new enemy is LulzSec.
Is my suggestion.

ZOOM! BANG!" before uppercutting them to the moon as a giant hoof-print is left in the moon. Derpy will then yell, "BANISHED TO THE MOON!" before the moon explodes (should the overlimit be the killing blow, the words "ASTRAL FINISH!" will appear on screen

@ Death the Kid/Cameron/Angrypwnzer:
I noticed that you added battle quotes to your bio, and I actually think that is a good idea to write down. (But I think multible quotes are needed, so makeing up at least 5 for each situation is good.)

However, on the topic of voice acting; how many people can voice their own characters? I need to know so we can get Voice Actors when the time comes.

I can't do voice acting for crap. >.>

I can gather voice clips from preexisting characters such as Death the Kid and Suiseiseki.

@ Suiseiseki: There is going to be alot a diologe, so sentence spliceing isn't the best idea. (I don't think we will be voiceing the entire game, but voiceing the main plot is probably our goal)

I will start up a list of characters who need voice actors:
-KnowYourMemeTan
-Natsuru Springfeild (I might have a freind who is willing)
-Derpy Hooves

I was thinking just taking a few clips for the combat sequences while leaving the story dialogue as plain text. Kind of like they do in most MMORPGs.

Also no sentence splicing. That stuff is cheesy as hell.

Yea, I agree. However for the sake of quality, let's try to voice the cg cutscenes too.

We could also try what they did in Super Smash Brothers and leave out dialogue in the cutscenes and allow the character's actions to demonstrate their motives.

Also be warned that I can't do lip movements for people.

I could do voice acting quite well. But I don't the resources to do so. So I won't be able to voice act.

Another comment you can all ignore:

Although many of you are saying you can't voice act, (You don't think your voices would be good?)

it is fully possible that someone skilled with a voice editing software could just make the VA sound better through some tweaking, don't just count yourself out at the count of 2.

All right, so for now we are keeping it to a Soul Caliber 2/Super Smash Bros amount of voice acting. Ill bring up the subject again after I feel I need to program in voices in the tech demo.

@RocketPropelledPanda: Voice acting is serious business, and we don't want this to sound like a horrid Anime dub.

@ArdentGamer: I will ask you to get them to agree after we have a Alpha of the tech demo done. If it comes to it I will commission them using donations.
Lol, -105.
Too Long, Read Half.

Sounds good. It's okay to not have read it, it's pretty much optional flavor text detailing the origins of the character's background, and wouldn't really appear much in game unless you're talking directly to him during a character specific sidequest type thing anyways. You probably wouldn't need to commission the people I know, at least one of them is the sort who'd do it half for shits and giggles, half for the experience it would give them.

I could voice act myself, I just need to get audacity back on my computer.
And I totally planned on showing my first character sketch (even though I can't draw), but my scanner is being a douche.

I have a headset with a microphone that works pretty well, and everyone tells me I have a very peculiar voice. So I might be able to do some acting.

Allright, I hope you get your scanner working again Cpt.

I have added a section to the end of the character list regarding voice actors:

KYM RPG characters:
1.KYM-Tan
2.Kaite Starshine/Real Genius
3.Kalmo
4.Derpy
5.DrPepperfan
6.Natsuru
7.Captain Badass/tht gy
8.Omomon
9.Suiseiseki
10.Dane
11.Alex
12.DrThundercritic
13.Mason SilverMonGoose Winchester (Realized he wasn't the user who I thought he was, might bump down)
14.Angrypwnzer
Temporary Party Members
•Troll King (Rival)
•Ashbot (Will Die)
NPC's/Enemys
•Pat Sajak
•SchizoJack
•Dxpenguinman
•Vault Boy
•Lunacy
•Wsxdas

Mains in need of voice actors:
•Kym Tan
•Derpy
•Natsuru (Has a possible friend to do it)

I'm also fairly skilled at gathering sound effects so if you need any just message me a list.

As one of the NPCs could I be the bus driver for the bus?

Importance rank starts at 1 and ends at 10, right?

Interesting that the mains lacking VA are all female…

As you might expect, boys DO outnumber girls on this site, so it may be a little more difficult to find such voicers.

Also, not related to the reply, I may have a chance to get to the local library to see if they might have a scanner. Not exactly proud of the sketch, but it's better than nothing.
