In the Rose Garden / SKU the game... easy enough to make?

guardian_rose · Back to Top

ok, so i have been talking with Mai (where ever she got off to) about this for quite awhile. we even recall a previous topic on the matter, although i know not where it went.

there is... an option... for anyone who has the time or skill to make an utena game.

I recently came across something called M.U.G.E.N.
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.U.G.E.N for more on it.

it is fully customizeable. sound. background. sprites. everything. from what i have seen, there are no tools to make it amature friendly. but i have found tutorials. downloads and tutorials at: http://randomselect.i-xcell.com/

a tournament fighter could be loads of fun, and for the really technical minded (other than me, because that much customization becomes greek:gonk:) could make an openended rpg. the sprites would need to be custom made, but i doubt that is an issue, based off of what i have seen elsewhere in this forum:school:

i am curious to see if anyone has ever played with this software, or if any of the technical minded think they can work it to create an utena game ;)

So one day is a long time? Well maybe we made passes at the idea before...
I can't even get past the first steps of map making in the RPG Builder you gave me.
So yeah we're calling the big brains on this... school-eng101

Yeah, I've thought about this before too, but I have no experience in working with M.U.G.E.N. or with drawing sprites, so...

I agree that the system would work well, though. You wouldn't need more than seven or so basic characters, and then the Black Rose Duelists would function as or variations of their respective characters (with Mikage=Utena, Kanae=Akio, and Ruka as a third skin for Juri). I guess one could add Chigusa and make it an even eight.

But yeah! I think the more programming and free-time-consuming inclined among us should give this a shot!

see, if i wanted to, i could make the sprites. the problem is time. im usally too busy studying or taking care of my kid, that i dont have anything left for a project like this.

on the flip side, if someone else made it, then i could just drop it in a computer and make utena the arcade game etc-love etc-wankdude

I fully endorse this idea, but I have no fucking clue whether I could even contribute. Not a lot of free time here, not a lot of programming experience emot-frown

Join me as a beta-tester then! emot-keke b

That's sounds great, but i have no idea either.... i just draw, i can draw sprites 8D if that helps...

i think that it is a step in the right direction. i hope we have someone on the forum who is familiar with mugen. it will set this project sooo far ahead!

A friend of mine is making a point-and-click game but she's using AGS http://new.bigbluecup.com/ac.shtml It doesn't seem to be very hard to use even if you don't have much experience in things like that. I've never used it myself so I can't say much about it. :/ Also, I've only played the demo of her game so I don't really know what else that software is capable of doing.

point and click would be good for something alittle more rpgsih. or if we wanted to make something similar to myst school-freud
we'll look and see tho ;)

ok, i looked. it looks very good. in fact, i may even tinker with this one first. graphics quality may go down emot-frown
but just the fact that you could do maniac mansion meets utena school-devil

btw, is your friend making an utena game, or just a game in general?

There's an open source visual novel maker I read about somewhere. You could do video and audio captures of the Saturn game when running it in an emulator, and, if somebody has a mind for translation, it would be feasible to adapt it to modern PCs as a fan project.

If she was making an Utena game then I'm sure you all would have known about it by now. ;D She's making a game called "The Marionette". It seems to be a mystery/psychological type of game. http://themarionette.game-host.org/ Go take a look, the demo is very nicely done. I love the music. etc-love

I have missed things like that before. ;)
so it wouldnt suprise me if i missed something like a fan project like that. school-eng101
