Crisis Zion[Original Videogame/Anime Project]

[Xephon0930]

Sorry for the lack of updates,I'm just busy with stuff in my life right now and trying to balance out time as best as possible. The auditions for this project is still on and I've decided to go with a prequel story instead basically chronicling Akira's life at the Jenseit Academy as he then ventures a turning point in his life that will foreshadow every event that will happen in Crisis Zion. I hope to make this an actual video game series that will be bigger than Final Fantasy(unlike Final Fantasy,there will be continuity shared in between all the games and will have an actual conclusion which I cannot say for obvious reasons....i.e. I just don't know how I'll end it let alone write all the events that will lead up to it.)I'm going to be looking up the tutorial section in the forums just learning the basics of the tricks and the trade whilst taking in a job in real life to pay for equipment. I don't know when this will be out there to show all of you guys who either are interested in my work or those who will be but when it comes it will come. I'll be putting some new additions to the cast while some characters will be omitted due to the purpose of the story change to a prequel. I'll update whenever I can. Thanks for your support.

If you're interested in ACTUALLY making this a game, I'd for sure check out the Unreal Development Kit. It's free to download, and free to use unless you intend to sell the finished product. Then you'd have to license it. Or you can try something simpler like say... RPG Maker. It's a lot less flashy, sure, but you can actually make something without spending months learning how to write code.

Making a video game isn't as simple as you might think, and honestly if you were, I wouldn't be having the story be the highest priority. Make sure you can actually physically create it, first. That's your highest priority, THEN focus on the more specific things, like plot, audio, visual style/graphics.

This really isn't the place to discuss game development and design, so if you're interested in hearing more about my personal opinions on how to go about actually making something like that, hit me up an email or PM.

AS of right now,I'm hoping to get into a college so I can learn all that sometime in the future but right now,I would much rather try to get these ideas out there in one form or another so that I have something to make a foundation on and gain a portfolio at the same time. That and this is keeping me busy.

Update the first post with the characters that can be auditioned for. Because having to shift through an entire thread just to find characters to audition for, then reach this above post to find that it was all for nothing is kind of ridiculous.

I never thought I'd say this without killing you in the process but thanks for the help Yoshi.

This is the wire frame for the city of Neo Zion which this story will take place,it is a wip like most the other stuff here but I wanted to convey the image of a bustling metropolis that is sort of the idealized futuristic cityscape. Clean,efficient,colorful,and convenient I will also have a drawing of the actual campus of the Jenseit Academy and the uniforms and dress code and will hopefully go farther into the details of how the school system works in this academy as it will be necessary exposition so you have an idea of what is going on.

Right here Akira but this is not how he will look in the prequel. He will almost be a different person entirely as he some of the experiences in the Jenseit Academy and after will go into a downwards spiral from being an optimistic person with a never say never attitude to a person who has been tortured and jaded by some of the mistakes he made or in the prequel's case will make.

This is an image of Teela but she won't be as matured as the one you see in this picture. She will still have that mature and mysterious air around her but in a lesser extent due to the fact that she is only at the age of 13 at this point in time. She will play a valuable role in Akira's life starting from Akira's Superior Officer/Tutor to something more than that given time.

I just found out that I can bump this thread.

[Xephon0930]

This thread is about to hit the 900 view mark. Thanks for your interest and auditions.

These roles have been moved to the thread's first page as of now.

I don't like bumping threads too often just for the sake of bumping. I will at the very least try to use it sparingly.
