*'MORTAL KOMBAT AFTER-REALM '* Yep another mk project underway (working title debatable)BUTWe're doing something a little different....THIS TIME WE'RE COMBINING OUR EFFORTSThat's right, instead of one individual working on this game and getting nowhere we've decided to work together on a single game. So far I am planning it more thoroughly and to satisfy these MFG mods I even had the curtsy of starting it in the ideas and engineering section. So without further ado I present my idea and hopefully if we can accomplish our goal we'll give you something so grand it'll knock the socks off of MKP.P.S. Anyone is welcome to help, even posting portraits we could use, sprite rips, anything and anyone is welcome. Other creators making a MK game can join in at any time and anyone at any level will be fully accepted in our group.Creators:*NiallAsh*XcLuSiVe*ArellonX*DevilDemon*chrismaster123So we're gonna give it a try and it won't hurt to go at it in a new direction.Things to accomplish:1. First off we are not gonna use MKP character's coding, there sounds, sprites, and anything else is fine for availability to build on but we're avoiding bugs/imcompatability. 2. Alternate the gameplay, maybe perhaps we can satisfy others that don't like the way MK plays by maybe combining multiple mechanics such as similar MvC play style basics/MK uppercuts and jumps/SNK special combos, etc. 3. Reinvent the art style as much as possible, for once we can make something genuine and hopefully fresh rather than do a compilation game of other characters. The spriting is so easy and I'm sure people will love it 4. Again we're gonna try a sort of sequel and maybe add a probable and genuine story to make it feel like the real deal. How will we work:1. Okay so maybe we can do this, we can discuss who to include in our roster, nothing ridiculous like in the 50's or 100's but more traditional and rational like 10-25 or so (negotiable) to maintain it's integrity as a game. 2. Next pick your favorite out of the roster to enjoy it's creation and ensure the likelihood of it's completion (reasonable right?)3. As a team, we'll work to perfect a new design that is easy enough and fresh to the degree that it will be played time and time again. Simple edits and brainstorms will do just fine and demonstrations as well. 4. Pull any resource together and fully allow ourselves complete access to our works and leave our egos aside for once to get a game done. Pride and secrecy will only be our undoing and will leave us back to nothing, it's a wip so no harm no foul. Work as a team - Share your work I believe if we give it a chance we can make this happen and why not more projects, one's bound to produce something. Everything here is debatable and can be altered upon a popular vote. The above propositions were designed to satisfy both creators and members alike of all fan based media in fighter games. My works and ideas (debatable and free to alter)Others contributed as of July 25th, 2009by NialAshA good start and nothing is final until we go through the "how we will work" process mentioned above. Again more and anything is welcome, even ideas, sound rips, pallets, stages, resources, coding snippets, pictures, reference photos and images, anything from pros and noobs. Opinions are welcome, bad or good this time we're gonna be open. Add on and disagree and improve it! Thanks for reading our idea, hopefully we'll move this thread over to Projects when we have real progress.
Story wise I was thinking of doing a spin off on Raiden's Armageddon ending.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY4NPdKllN8Okay so lets say WHAT IF.....The power was too much for Raiden and it instead over powered his intentions and caused a kind of explosion. Lets say they all end up in a new realm made up of all their realms while leaving in the mystery on how they will restore their homes and who will conquer what or just simply where they are now? All the same will include Shang's loss of souls, maybe Liu Kang is reborn again and brought back to life. New teams join forces and so on. On top of that maybe the original ancestor Kung Lao resturns to life to get revenge and could be based on MKC series?Just then they find out towards the end of the game that Blaze is struggling to get out of a Soulnado in the sky where maybe he is souly maintaining the fabric of all existence from collapsing. All the while the new teams, Raiden and his force struggle to correct the situation?
Wow Really Looks Very NiceAnd This Imressive Story May Cause In Unqiue Alliances We Have Never Saw BeforeI Think If You Want The Game To Be More Unqiue And You Have A ''PRO'' Coder You May Contain Weapon System((IF You CAn))
That's a great idea, we can have all the characters whip out weapons during their combos like when Scorpion uses his axe or Jade with her staff, except in more than one way. Raiden can use his Hammer and Scorpion his sword

Thats a good concept of a menu.We can make weapons be summoned by the character. And then throw them away off the screen when desired.I can tell this is going to be awesome!I'm going to start on making some character sprites and stages.
Awesome work, I had a recent vision. Okay imagine this, for a new game you'll obviously want brand new characters, correct?How about new characters for this game to go with it!!! How did Ed Boon and Tobias get their superub ideas from? Answer, they ripped others off Fact: MK is based on other stuff*Johnny Cage = Van Damn*Liu Kang = Bruce Lee*Kano = TerminatorOkay 1st one I wanted to do.Name:StoneBased on movie: CyborgReference shots of perfect mk characterAny other ideas I'm open to, find a really cool movie and I'll add it to my list of new characters for this new team's game. All are welcome, don't be shy.

Okay tell me who you are gonna do and I won't create that character so that you can do it while I do others. Also when you post we can try and improve our own work. I'm satisfied with Jax and I think I'll alter the roster so he stays just as he is.
I'm going to do jax later. Well the characters I would want to do is: Liukang, Jax, Sonya and a custom charcter.I love that Stone character, perfect type of person for MK.Right now I'm working on my custom character : Takashi.Reference: http://i51.beon.ru/20/28/32820/91/939491/Death_Note___L__by_Asami_chan.jpegHe's based on L from Deathnote. He has telekentic type of moves.And I'll keep improving my work.
But just in case I wanna make sure we do our best so I'll play it safe just by throwing an alternate idea, we don't have to do it, I like yours way more I think but here is my edit of his pants. Better or worst, it's okay if it isn't good, just experimenting all possibilities. NiallAsh said, July 26, 2009, 11:19:45 amI'm going to do jax later.

He has telekentic type of moves.And I'll keep improving my work.Good by me, a telepath would be fun I suppose but will he be MK sprite styled?Also would you use my Sonya and sprite her?If so I could get Reptile done and that Goro as well. And anyone else could do the others after that? Personally I think she just needs her hair redone but maybe you can do more to improve her if you would like to wip her.
Sure I'll use the sonya. I was going to ask.And I think those pants look better, thx for sharing that.I've almost done my first Takashi sprite.
Recap so farI hope XcLuSiVe has something really cool for us, I wonder who he's gonna sprite? If we each do 2 characters we'll have 6, perfect for a beta game NiallAsh said, July 26, 2009, 11:44:33 amSure I'll use the sonya. I was going to ask.And I think those pants look better, thx for sharing that.I've almost done my first Takashi sprite.That's great, I'll send you the work files for Sonya then The Jax pants I used were Stryker's from UMK3 or Trilogy, I was thinking maybe it be better to implement that weapons idea you wanted? Try more alternates and see if you can improve my Sonya, that way we can be sure about everything before we make 500 sprites I look forward to that new sprite, I don't think a psychic has ever been done before!Another idea for a psychic sorta guy maybe you can add to your character a trench coat like this guy from that one movie?*googled*The Dead ZoneJust more ideas to brainstorm with? Give me ideas to if you hav any, no idea is dumb or out of the question.Also Styxdeath suggested this guy as wellfrom the movie hitcherJohn Rider is the name.Oh another Idea I had, Billy Drago, maybe you can do his hair or face along with your design and a trench coat or with hitcher stuff?
I like that trenchcoat Mysterious.Well I got a lot of spare time as it's the 6 week holidays. I can get 3 characters done in 3 weeks probably.90% done of the Takashi sprite.

I ment on 1 sprite lol.I'm trying to get the shading right so it looks like he's from MK.Once I get 1 sprite done all the rest are a breeze.
Takashi's Beta stance sprite 1.I might change his look and shading however, for now thats Takashi's look.
Interesting, I can totally see him as a psychic, whatever you do leave the head as it is, I'm digging the hair, it feels right The shading on the upper half which seems the hardest isn't coming so smoothly, I think that's the hardest part and probably should get another try on the base, not sure who though? Unfortunately I didn't do any better either on the lower bodyI think there's a lot of room for improvement here LOL, but I'll keep trying over and over, lets not commit until they look disco I like where you're trying to go with yours in that he'll only need one hand since he's psychic. That makes sense to me. In mine I like where I got the head and the chest but everything else seems out of place, I am struggling for a better base, preferably one more only without any further editing to replace the arms and legs or more if there is something not too great that I'm missing here, I'll need criticism to.So far though we have two great ideas about new MK characters which we can agree on. A convict and a psychic Anyway lets keep trying and please try a trench coat, I'm curious about that, where to get it though i don't know
