Sunrider [Out of date]

[NinjaNick]

Just completed, and It was great! Can't wait for a full release.

Love in Space is seeking a enthusiastic and motivated lead programmer.

We are looking for someone who knows the following:
-Basic renpy syntax
-Screen language
-ATL
-Pyton

Your task will be to refine and further develop the Sunrider battle engine. Preference will be given if you are a fan of turn based strategy RPGs.

I expect about a 10 hour commitment per week commitment for about a year, but this is highly dependent on your skills. Preferably, you will need to be available on a consultation basis for roughly five years though, in case any problems arise later in development. We aim to produce professional and genre defining works in the medium, and will welcome someone who seeks to create high caliber work.

This is an UNPAID position. The game will be released for free, in the creative commons. You are welcome to leave at your pleasure with no hard feelings any time during production.

I would love to help you, but right now my life is too complex due to my current jobs. I may be available in a couple months... so if you're right about the years part....

[Samu-kun]

Okay, drop me a line in a few months. =w=

[sendo]

Finished the beta and I really love the cinematic direction of this one. Kudos to the director and the team I'm really looking forward to this one.

THE GALAXY MAP
In Sunrider, you are given the choice to warp to all planets in the galaxy. Receive missions from national leaders and crew mates, and travel to exotic planets across the galaxy to fulfill them. You decide which missions to fulfill, but you can never fulfill every mission in a single play though. Which mission will you prioritize and which will you ignore? Explore a space derelict filled with ancient lost technology to win favor with your cute chief engineer? Save a colony of orphans from being abducted by pirates? Defend an Alliance munitions depot from PACT to further the war effort? Warp to a trade world to earn some money to upgrade your ship?

The choice is yours to decide.

Plus, the zoom in effect to the planet whenever you click on a icon on the galaxy map is hella cool.

[NeoAngelique]

Ah, finally. I prefer the loli moe art you used before.

Agreed. All the best on the game! (I like your art though. )

Wow! Are they all custom made or pre-made assets? I'm just recently thinking about how to make a space background...

[Samu-kun]

It's actually pretty easy to make planets on Photoshop. You just need to find a Creative Commons texture (NASA satelite photos work well) and use some Photoshop on it. Try googling some Photoshop tutorials on making planets.

The galaxy image is CC from the WikiCommons with some modification.

[LVUER]

I see. I always thought people make those galaxy image from the scratch. Thanks for the tip

I finished up the Black Jack's design today. Armed with 4 shoulder mounted laser cannons, two kinetic rapid fire rifles, homing missiles, and 1 kinetic sword and 1 beam sword, it's one of the most heavily armed ryders in the game. (I had to think pretty hard on how to squeeze all those guns onto this thing, you know...)

Along with a guest appearance by the Black Jack's pilot, Asaga. She's very excited to finally have a ryder.

[ShippoK]

I read that as; "Along with a guest appearance by the JACK BLACK pilot".

Now I can't unsee a Otome game featuring Jack Black.

We're entering some pretty badass territory with Black Jack there. I'd love to see it in action!

I have a suggestion for the paint job: Consider simplifying the color scheme to have the red and white more grouped together, so you have larger red sections and larger white sections. The reason is I think it looks kind of cluttered and hard to read compared to the regular Ryders, especially in poses like this one that don't have a strong silhouette. I feel that the most from the right arm, lower torso and whatever it is those laser cannons are mounted on.

I love the lines in the I guess "Hidden" scenes where Kay says:

"Ava, tell me something. What's a ship without a flag?"

And Ava responds.

"Sir? Well, a pirate ship."

Beautiful script file by the way. It's all in one file and yet still easy to read and follow along with. On the other hand you might benefit from using some arrays to select what enemy unit you are going to attack and with what weapon, instead of copy-pasting the code to attack each enemy for each weapon.

[Samu-kun]

Looks like someone found the hidden content.
