Here is a sample with character placeholders for the Character select screen. Hloader is making more touchups to it to flesh it out more with the portraits and font style.
The character select screen style is made by V-nix with Hloader coding it and putting ports together.


Demo pic of the lifebar style created by V-Nix


A pic of of Terry ZBogard stage influenced by his FF2 movie fight with Kim Kaphwan.


an early test showing a lil of Vampire Hunter D done by fatal freak.


more will be posted in this thread on upcoming news on the screenpack and gameplay videos.

Well to keep in updating on the ABR project. this is just a graphical layout i done for anyone who does get the game when its done lol. i was making myself some personal cd sleeves cause i am gettin a bigger size cd to hold it ( other than a sizeable flash card.) i did these awhile back and just updated the one with the new logo design done by V-nix and as well his old design that is still in game as well.

updated one with new logo:

Spoiler:

other version with old logo and more characters.

Spoiler:

sorry for it being so huge. lol . i plan on putting some other characters in the new one. after ABR is released i will get a psd for download . I am now editing Terry to do a new version of the Power Wave as a hyper based on the anime fight between him and Jamin. Plus i am updating jamin's look a lil bit since i got better at spriting and will have a lil something on him with Terry in an intro with his son when they faceoff. . Big thanx to Nestor , Manic and Li Kun for all the lessons and Danownsall for that CVS conversion tutorial.. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

well here is Adam Blade revamped from previous ones done , not ever shown this before . now he has a base sprite for to be done in moves. plus gonna do more lil tweaks to make him a bit more cleaner in spots. Me and Shadaloo Lives are gonna tag team on this bada$$ anime dude. so look forward to seeing him in the future more and in motion. ::salute::

here are 2 slight animation tests i did to get his forehead Byakugou crystal to do a cool shining effect. i am not good with those yet but trying. might need to find a cool animator for that with a better fx. ;D

The Byakugou lil animation Test.

Test #1


Test #2



the thing is the frame rate. one is faster. but i think i need some better fx style for it. :-??

Is looking good man, the Fx is cool but i think is on the shade, plus i need the details for his stage man cuz i forgot the original idea u give me before.. :pale:


Greetings :afro:

Greetings :afro:

soory for the wasy late reply bro. lol. well def shadaloo can give you some specs on that for sure. its based on fighting outside of his old church they live in. he fights outside of it against 2 people in the animse series. one is his first meeting with one of his crew dudes, the fire needless and the other is the dude that uses Tempest thread move. maybe if we couyld get a still snapshot of it that could work. its like desert wasteland looking with rundown buildings in the BG and the church closer to the foreground they fighting in front of. dirt style ground with maybe some rubble scatter around. something like that. me and maybe shadaloo can find a pic of the church to get an idea from. Hmmm axel foley is a great draw artist and make could do a rough sketch of it. he is awesome too. here you can see sort of how the churck looks for a moment at 6:18. thre front of it . but the part they fight on is all dirt ground and like said could have really beaten up building s in further Bg or what you can do. let me know if this helps and we can see what else can be done to help out bro. Mucho gracias!

Here's the VS but if u want me to change anything my man... just let me know. :)



HAIL 2 C.R.O.M. DUDE AND H-B-DAY MAN :drunken:

well here is something we needed done for Hloader to try and finish up on the ABR Screenpack. Its the VS screen with placeholder non- ingame character portrait . he also done the big portraits as well and font styles for them like V-nix had done when making the character select screen. great work from 3 great cool people.

Spoiler:

Love what you did wolviesam bro and so does Hloader! :thumbsup: ::salute::

well i will be making some decisions on the project as to testers for coding, and gameplay of characters when they get done. wether they may be inside CROM or outside. Plus start doing some reports on progress of characters, stages and screenpack and more.

some of the things i will be hoping to see get done is a new final intro for the project, end game credits, more characters animated and even getting done, screenpack showing and aquiring more help ion spriters on the project. Presentation is a definite from us on this and we wanna make sure to put as much good quality as our skills allow and as well brainstorming on some fresh ideas before it gets heavy. well my bros. hope everyone is doing great! 8)

Anymore updates on this site yet? Why hasn't it been official in here instead of IMT? IMT is always updated the most.

Is this site really dead?

Enso is right man, u should post here all about the Progress my man.. after all this the place where that baby is coming 2 live. :face:


HAIL 2 CROM DUDE!! :face:

Got that fighter factory injection in Lando's system finally :twisted:

@Enso:
site aint dead. Folks are scattered about and busy..
shit if you thought this was dead ya should see my site lmao....

but then again no one really knows about mines yet. i didnt broadcast it yet :P

Anyway things are lookin up n flavaful 8)

@Wolvie: yeah i agree..
I think Lando bro should turn down the volume a bit at IMT and just send links of the thread here on the progress. I think MFG & IMT know more than enough about whats happening now :)

@ Enso.. nah man as said site aint dead. its just right where i thought it should been for a hot second. Under the Radar in the underground Lab of CROM. hehehehe :twisted: Lando always has a plan bro...always.

Wolviesam and Kai...yes bros...its just about that time to turn the heat on here and get ready to get comfy. I myself have been very busy with real life. that always comes first and foremost. Now i been going through the hell and back gettin into Fighter factory to get all the characters i have done in sprites are now on wip status.
I post work at IMT cause its always home to me, us all, , the Birthplace of the CROM and its where i met all you crazy people who i call not only friends, but family. Now we can begin the grimey lab work and get our Mansion , Our official Crom Home crackin and going good. :twisted:

i never worry about getting views yet ( in enso wording ..dead )cause the work wasnt being shown as hardbody, now.... its all going according to da blueprint. we all can post the laden work we are doing here and certain things we will link onlyat other spots outside of the CROM Mansion and as well can post at IMT and Cvg the stuff as well we working on but its gonna be hot and heavy here, the Home of the CROM. so with all said my CROM bretheren...Let the real Party begin! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: Once some good work more gets laid out and a certain vid gets up with our characters and more content, Linking my bros. I will be here alot more now and showcasing the stuff here first. :cheers: :cheers: anywhere else other than here i will just posty some and keep the good hosting going good but when its releases time for anything i do or you guys wanna release, you can do it here and Link it. that decision is up to you bros. All my stuff aside from the projects as well will be released at our baby! CROM Interactive!

Supa vid shada bro awe!.. and wuddaaaa great touch of our fella Hloader... is doin damn good job....


HAIL 2 C.R.O.M. DUDE! :face:

most def he sure is doing a hell of a job and proud to have hium on the project bros.

meant to post this here as well. The Manin Title screen ( Press Enter) . I had slided hloader the mockup i had made with Logo and all black BG and he really hooked it all up big time! hmmm since he is animating stuff makes me wonder what he may have done to it once we get to see it all in a vid or the next beta hookup.

Main Title Screen ( Press Enter) , the music track is already sent off to hloader for it. Its by the awesome beat maker VTZ.

Spoiler:

here are 3 character croppings i done to go along with others that will get done by peeps to go with the characters select screen Big ports and the Game menu big characters that fade out and in.

Kazehana

Spoiler:

Yagyu Jubei from Jubei Chan

Spoiler:

and Adam Blade - from Needless

Spoiler:

well there is another Adam Blade that might get done too. mines is just a ole basic him standing. was trying to find a high quality one with more emotion /action going on. you know how Adam Blade is, the wilder the better. :lol:

alot of the cropping i have done is alot of thanx from Rage awhile ago telling some techniques to use. i been really trying it out and some i been getting pretty aight plus using the pencil tool to be even more exact with erasing out the extra pixels and smoothing the lines oout on the characters. I aint as skilled by far, but i am trying hard. I will be in Fighter Factory alot more so i am gonna be mad busy. :)

This is the mugen i want to play someday...

Good luck lord CROM and Shadaloo.

Three questions!

1-The Screenpack is finished or still is a Beta?

2-What are the selections of music for the screens?

3-If you dont mind, what char is the most complete atm?

thats all.

Characters
terry needs all new specials from last ones i done which will be updated and all his hypers and Judgement Finisher is last to be completed as well his son with updated new look for the hyper strikers.

Luffy _ stance done but needs updating in animation and all get hits and basics to be finished then on to specials and hypers.

Adam Blade - getting new updated stance to go along with updated sprite look and then the works!

Hakufu- stance animation , get hits and basics to be finished and then coded then the works!

Lina Inverse - Silva got quite a bit done on her in stance, some basics and when can fill in the rest what he has done on the character.

Zuma- Silva done stance animation and will work on the rest as well if already has.

Vash- antman was working on stance and other basics.

Witchblade - got updated new look and new stance has to be animated as well with intro animations later . plus will be getting the works done on her in due time.

Spike Speigal- going through sprite updating for stance animation to be tested. its a doozey!

all others are getting revised sprites that i have done and some have. As well i have done 2 unlockable characters not shown and will only show the ones that will be in the project in gameplay video as they are getting done. The gameplay video i had planned for in the new years eve but with everyone on other projects and real life might get pushed back. the gameplay video plan is to show 5 to 7 characters in a very cool Crom style gameplay video. sooner things pickup and done the sooner that video will be shown.

The full ABR Gameplay Template is getting done and will be dished off to those that are helping code certain characters for the closed project to keep in que with how to code certain movesets and characters.
__________________________________________________________________________________--
Who and whats needed:

Stage creator helps - anyone that can help create stages and keep them in synch with whats going on with the project in looks and replicate as best as possible stages that coincide with specific characters animes via location or major fight locations.

Spriters_ we have cool spriters in the crew and if they want to help out and have time aside they own projects or finished their projects are welcome aboard the ABR train...lol. just have to keep in mind the spriting style , the looks of the characters as best as can and updated as much to closeness as possible..take your time! there is no rush, i rather they get good to great in their looks. the closer the better.

Storyboards - mostly saving those for last to get done. The main game storyboard will be the first to get done , it will que in after you selected your character to play through the game and another before your match with the final boss. note: certain characters has intros with other certain characters wether from same anime and some not. ( example ( Terry vs Adam Blade Terry vs Jamin or Terry vs Elle Ragu, Vampire Hunter D and a certain unlockable character, Bushido Brown and Afro Samurai , Afro samurai vs Jubei from Ninja scroll, Lina vs Zuma and Lina vs Naga, Vash Vs Spike, Kenichi vs unlockable Rock Lee...and there are many more.

Lifebar and SP portraits - these portraits are both the small ones and the Large ports used for character selecvtion screen , versus screen and the lifebars. they are in MBAA style. high quality pics will be used as seen in the screencaps of the SP of the test characters old and new.

Note to everyone working on the project old and new. : there will be NO releasing anything public.. this is a locked closed game till sometime after the release of the full game. Anything made for the project in use will be locked within the game and cannot be released to the public. there are no permissions to do so as well. We have some testers already that have been selected and are supremely trustworthy to not release our works. any sending of any material for the project i say best to do it here through PMs only. if anyone wants to know who are the testers to have their material tested to see if its working just hit me up and i will point you to the person to handle that and give feedback to you if needed. I also suggest that anyone making characters or stages to please test your material yourself first to see if its working in your version of the engine your using. ours is 1.0 of the SP so i suggest testing any creations in 1.0 before dishing it off to be thoroughly tested for bugs that you didnt catch. the more errors and bugs caught by both the better the quality. SO what you didnt catch , it will hopefully be caught by the tester. helps decrease the workload. any questions just direct them to me or Shadaloo and we will do our best to try to see whats needed in help as best as we can.


so there has been i think enough sprite showing from me and others so far and work will be picking up. I am showing the wips i will do for the project in screenshots and video's since i have several already prepped and running in mugen.
2013 is about to get real folks and will be called the Year of the Crom! ABR may or may not be completed in that year but Crom bros have projects of they own solo or team wise they contributing or collab work together in Crom bros or with others projects. We are everywhere! Hail Crom! :cheers: .. god dang it we need new emoticons! these are hella gay! :evil:

Whow...

So much work to do but with the enoght talented ppl to do their best.......
Have fun with this!

hail crom!!!

indeed bros. its alot of work and a huge project but well worth doing . people are on their own various projects so its gonna be awhile but i am still working on it as well as others when need be and can. I have given myself a few deadlines on certain wips in the project so that will keep me going and getting things done at a faster pace. When others are available to really help out and want to then they definetly can come in and i can let them know where we need the help at. :cheers:

Indeed my man just let me know if you need anything else for these stages bro im busy with many things around too but im also always available for C.R.O.M. :afro:


HAIL!!! :cheers:

thanx wolvie bro and you know i def will hit you up and see what time you have available to help out. :cheers:

well i decided since i got better at spriting and been working on revisions of Terry for ABR , i am doing a few things for his son and for his daughter Alissa ( who will only be in parts of the storyboard for terry) to solidify a cool look for her as well go back and do over the previous Terry Jr sprites for when i start doing the Hyper strikers and intros again for coding them in. this is Terry and daughter Alissa in what is part of a storyboard for them but son will be in it as well as mom Blue Mary in new outfit for it.



son terry will still keep his red shirt as well with the Terry signature white star on the front
