Need to ask permission here

[Laslunder]

Hey Obreck and company, las here. Hey, i wanted to ask permission if i could use the SCV3 engine. I wanted to be cool about it and not do anything sketchy. I'd figure i'd ask, and dont' wanna do anything that i might regret later. I just wanna know from Obreck, or whoever may be speaking on his behalf, if i could use the engine for me and Reiko to make our own version of the game(possibly other games too). I have not given anything out, just coded myself. But i was wondering if it would be cool if i could do so?(don't worry i will still credit Obreck of course) I wouldnt mind seeking some help coding and i've heard a couple people are interested. But i can do nothing about it till i get permission or not. I have not seen or heard from Obreck in a while and i was wondering if this is ok.

Your own version of SCV3? what for, wouldn't it be the same? o_O

Also I don't think any of us can really talk on behalf of Obreck, but to be honest I have no idea if he will ever come back to the game dev fields, he keeps saying he will come back just to disappear for 3 more months, SCV3 is only still alive because of you and Reiko, you should probably start taking your own decisions regarding the game if you want it to ever reach completion, though I think you and Obreck had everything planned out already.

Id say just go for it.  The way Obreck sounded was that he is done coding stuff.

Hey guys. yeah i was thinking on Laslunder and I just finishing the game so that it can come out and the fans can have something good to play. I just didnt want to step on anyones toes but at the same time, what other option do we really have? we keep waiting and waiting. we have done lots odf things since obrecks disapearance and we would like to continue the project without having to wait. we have lots of stuff going on as of right now regarding the SCV3 project. Laslunder and Obreck i think had already figured out the whole plot as far as stages bosses and enemies from my last understanding. As of right now we are very adament on getting this game finished, so i think thats what we will go on and do.
Thanx guys for responding to this post. I am very glad to know that people are still interested in this game being completed. with that said and done, we can show show some screenies soon of what we are doing. And know this, the game is still alive and expect  more progression soon as we are already working on things for it.

[Laslunder]

Ok,well cool, yeah i hadn't heard anything from Obreck in some months. So i really haven't a clue as to what was going on. He seemed cool with some of my coding and impressed that i had made some big progress. I am still learning and to be honest not exaclty that good. But i do know alot about the scripts so it helps. I guess at this point barring any more levels being done at the moment coding is the first priority. Seems too, i talked with him a while back and he hadn't yet put in left views for bosses or left doors(view shif left). But they are gonna be crucial for some levels/stages. Especiallly seeing that  not all bosses will be on a right view. When i get more work done i'll get an update on things. For now most of what i had added where some enemies that i showed in that video on the other post. I did update it recently too balloon pods. They are not 100% exactly how i want them,but kinda, i also used some ideas from hello 5's engine with the fire spitting plant at the bottom of the ocean. Also i have to go back and rework spiders. They are sorta lame right now, and i could get them bettter i'm sure. Eh, either way i'll update anything if i code it in correctly.

I think you guys can be in charge of the game, I mean, you're the ones working on it, and, as long as you follow most of the original plans, which were pretty simple in fact, I don't think Obreck or anyone would mind.

[Chaos.Tiki]

I am very much waiting for this game.  Glad to hear that you want to see it completed.

[eryson]

laslunder, then you now lead the project in the absence of obreck? 
any suggestion..this song can be useful to you for de atlantis stage.

It's quite possible we may pick that one. At any rate their is a scv3music.ini file, where you can put in your own custom mp3's. Obreck's system is great!. The way this file works is quite simple: you will see on the scv3music ini  a set of levels,with their respective mid boss and boss music underneath. Something like this for instance:

[GhostShip]
volume = 100
song   = CV3 Dracula's Curse- Anxiety.mp3
driver = mp3

If you want a diffrent mp3 for a song and not one's we agree upon. You can simply take out what it says and replace it with you file and copy the name exact in it's place. New example:

[GhostShip]
volume = 100
song   = Jail of Jewels.mp3
driver = mp3

Just make sure it's got the file extension mp3 and wording is exact or it won't work. It should loop fine in so far as i've tested. I'm assuming the boss tracks work similar aswell. They seem to have a bunch of looping numbers but i'm not sure that matters or not???

Either way if you download the last demo  you''ll see what i mean. You have the option to do similar things with the external player folders too. You will be able to replace our sprites with your own if you want. A Certain number of skins may be locked into that game at some point(so the game has skins to start with), but they'll be extra slots to unlock/be available so all you have to do is copy a folder rename it's set from say set[3] to set[4] or something(editing your own in set[4]). Now under options in game, when you select a player you can move over until it says like Trevor4. Then the skin of trevor hosting set[4] will be visibly playable. And walla you'll be using your custom sprites! I think all in all, obreck told me up to 99 slots could be available for each. But imo that's a bit excessive. Don't worry we could all vote on the number if need be!

I was worried that this game was going to be forgotten and never see the light of day.
Glad to see that it is still being worked on.

[Laslunder]

Yeah still alot needs to get coded. One of my biggest worries is the left doors view(passing through left doors) and left boss views(when you meet the bosses going left). Well yeah either way their's quite a few things to be honest.

[ghost2258]

Well I am certainly happy this project is still moving then, I can't wait until it is complete.

Obreck came back about a few weeks ago do to some things for MKF and Xeno Fighters R, then promptly disappeared again. Since both Laslunder and reiko26 are still showing interest in developing for SCV3, it's safe to say that they should take over the project for now. I won't go into huge detail other than OBreck's been overwhelmed and busy lately to focus on any kind of game development.

As long as Obreck's original vision is followed, I don't see any issue with having las and reiko take over SCV3 development.
