[zilla103192]

We decided that we wanted to continue our old game. rather than start fresh.

so in a nutshell "The Great Toho War" Is BACK!!

Although there will be a few changes... it wont be as big and extravagant as we wanted it to be... we will wait to see how the firts game does with fans... the we will release a sequel with more everything.

If you are interested in helping with this 2D fighting game... follow the link to our chat,

We meet everyday at 4:30 pm.

All right, here's something important... if theoretically, nobody wanted to help, would you guys be able to do it on your own?

[zilla103192]

yes, it would just take longer.

^ Just checking. I remember my any attempts at games ended up sucking because I couldn't draw or get sprites, so it game out fairly half-assed.

Ok, like Zilla said above, the game is back in production. However, I don't know if he said anything, but there are a few changes that have been made to the game. The changes that have been made are listed below.

* The roster will only contain from 8-10 TOHO monsters this time. If the game is successful, expect DLC in the future or a sequel to the game.

* DO NOT request monsters to be in the game. Our team has already planned out a roster which we'll reveal soon.

* The game will still use DAM and BL sprites for the monsters.

* If you would like to help us out with the game and join the team's staff, please notify us in this topic or come to the chat that is in Zilla's post. We meet everyday at 4:30 PM (Eastern time).

I'd help out, but I can't do MUGEN and trust me, won't be able to learn. All of my game creation experience is with GameMaker 8.

Look forward to the game though.

^ we need someone that could get us pictures and music...

I could get you some music and sound effects if you want me to.

Just letting everyone know, we're currently working on two projects at the moment. This game and a board/card game featuring TOHO characters that will be playable via webcam online. More information on it coming soon... Also, if you'd like to know more about our projects or would like to help out by joining the team, please visit the chat linked in Zilla's post above or in my signature.

^ If I may suggest investing in a forum of some kind?

XAT Chatrooms are fun for casual talk, but for big projects I feel they're rather bad choices, plus with a forum you can access and organize information better, whereas on XAT you just have the one thread and eventually everything gets erased.

Personally I'd focus on the MUGEN one. A card game definitely sounds fun, but card games rarely seem to attract much attention these days when it comes to actually playing, but the Great Toho War attracted quite a fair amount of interest.

[Mugendude26]

We don't use the chat to organize our projects. We use deviantART and stuff like that to organize information, sprites, etc. We use the chat mainly to discuss the projects, sprites, rosters, etc. Also, the reason why we're making a board/card game is pretty much because it's easier to make and takes a lot less time for us to put it together compared to the Mugen game which we have to work extremely hard on and will take longer.

[zilla103192]

in other words... we are still working on the video game... but this will be an extra thing that fanboys.girls can do also

[Mugendude26]

Alright, I uploaded five steps on my deviantART account on how to make a game piece for the board game. Few more steps will be uploaded soon on how to put characters on the game piece.

Hey Mugendude26, do you want me to help with the sound section of the MUGEN game? Like I said earlier, I have some Godzilla soundtracks and Sound Effects CDs, and I think I can help with the sounds.

[Mugendude26]

Sure, come to the chat so we can discuss it. I'm on right now if you want to come.

[Burninggodzillalord]

I can provide sprites! oh, wait.....I already am!. Wow, that was fast..

[Mugendude26]

Made up a FAQ for the fans who want to know what will be in the game. Expect a lot more FAQs in the future as well.

Q: How many TOHO monsters will be included in this game?
A: A lot.

Q: Will there be any differences between the monsters? Like abilities, powers, stats?
A: Only thing that will differ each monster from one another is the stats. Each monster will have different stats that will make each one of them different. At the moment, we aren’t focusing on giving the monsters different abilities or powers, we just want to make the game plain and simple similar to Card Fighters Clash or Yu-Gi-Oh!

Q: Will any of the monsters have different attacks?
A: Maybe in a later update but at the moment, no.

Q: Will different incarnations of each monster appear in the game? Will the incarnations have different stats?
A: Yes, however, I think the incarnations are going to be just skins at the moment. None of them will have different stats.

Q: Is there anything else you can tell us that we would like to know?
A: Well, the game might be a spinoff of the M.U.G.E.N. project we’re working on or related to it in some way. Also, there might be unlockables such as monsters and game boards. I will explain how that will work soon. Also, you need a webcam in order to play the game. No webcam, can’t play.

If you have any questions or comments concerning the game, please contact us via private message or let us know on the chat.

Here's a little Q&A i came up with myself, but this is All-MUGEN related:

Q: Will there be any finishing moves (AKA "Fatalities")?
A: To my knowledge, no.

Q: Which monsters are on the game?
A: Don't be so impatient. I have no authority to reveal the roster as of yet.

Q: Burninggodzillalord, are you even a part of the group working on the MUGEN project?
A: I am. I am a sprite provider/MUGEN char developer/etc.

Q: Soundtrack?
A: We originally intended on using TOHO music (from movies/games). However, we talked to some people, and we chose NOT to use ANY TOHO music in the MUGEN Project, due to the fact that its over-copyrighted material, & TOHO might can the project if we do. Our team is currently figuring out what songs will be included in the game.

Thats all I'll put for now, i guess.

[zilla103192]

and since i play a part in this... heres mine...

Q, Are the graphics going to good?
A. That depends, we are using the same graphic style of the SNES... so if you like retro graphics, your good!

Q. Just how many people are working on the game so far?
A. We have a few helping us... But we could always use more help!
- 2 programmers (mugendude26, BurningGodzillaLord)
- 3 spriters (BurningGodzillaLord, Gigan, Linkzilla)
- 1 director (Zilla103192)
- 1 supervising assistant (Godzilla 2000)
- 1 random person (Onewa)

Q. Zilla, are you the most epic of all epicness
A. Very good question random question asker... Yes, Yes i am...

Q, Will you tell us if you are really Spider-Man
A. NEVER!! I WILL NEVER REVEAL MY SECRET!!
