    I want to make one - simply put. After playing Welcome to Ponyville Act 1 I thought; "I could do that!" Actually, each scene transition I was thinking, why didn't they underlay the sprites to show up before the scene fades in instead of the awkward showing up after it's faded in? I mean... more than likely it's because they put one fade in command and then a lot of branches to partain to the situation, but it would look better if there was an individual fade in per situation.

    Because I know the program they used to make it.

    I do...

    Then, while RPing earlier today I looked the Lady of Dreams over more carefully and wondered if that would make a good general plot.

    The only issue would be, of course, all the custom sprites and sounds. Plus, the prospect of voice acting? While an awesome idea, it would require ponies who could voice act.

    Is anypony interested? It'll more than likely have a turn-based combat system, and I kinda want to see if I can snag any other artists on this who have a style close to the show, (perhaps a little more morbid.)

    Then there's music, but that's... that's friggin' easy.
    As for sound... I dunno how well this'll go over, but... is anypony a voice actor? :derpe:

    When are you looking to do this? I may be able to help with code later in the year, after I learn a bit more, but I'm no good with art. I'm sure I could pick up the pace of my education if need be, so holler at me if I sound useful.

    Don't think that'd be a problem. Which characters do you think you sound most like?

    Code? I won't need any help with that, but I appreciate the offer. Really, I do.

    Depends on if we have some German-accented ponies, doesn't it? :derpe: If that's what you want to do, we can try you out.

    I'm thinking for those interested in voice acting I'm going to write a few scripts and ya'll just read 'em out over mic and we'll see who does best with what.

    Honestly, i'm not sure. I could do a few male ponies. I am decent enough at emulating. I can do a mean Bug Mac impression.

    Well, since The Lady of Dreams is my brainfoal, I'd like to be involved in some way. :derpe:

    Art? Uh... I'm not very good...

    Voice acting? Uh...I have a pretty deep voice. (Although I could easily come up with scripts.)

    That's about the extent of my talent. I'm more than happy to help out in any way that I can.

    So how is that? ::S:
    Scripts! Excellent idea! Tryout scripts. We'll probably want someone that sounds similar to Twilight at least. Then an "array of voices" type thing, and I guess one Luna.

    Well, I can do scribbles.
    I can edit sounds and make music stuff such as pitch, speed, etc.
    I can even add an echo if you want ::S:

    Constella would be echo-y.

    Soiled hay if I know. I'm looking up 6-character party scripts and I'm planning on letting it be open-ended in what ponies you pick as characters.

    Of course, like most games, the player has no voice actors.

    Lemme think of something.

    General answer scripts, please! Oi...

    I figure, if we put a voiceover that says something like "Yes," then the reader understands it, even if the text ends up saying; "That sounds fine."

    I'm sure Constella's telepathy would have some kind of echo or maybe metallic effect applied to it. Maybe even fade in and out of sound quality, depending on how strong the mibd the the hero is.

    Really, that's all I can contribute. My brain is the best too I have, and it doesn't let me do a lot of the things I would like to be good at (art, for example). I could come up with some ideas for various enemies and stories too.

    Oh, and I learned a trick in Melodyn recently that makes you sound like a robot. If you need anyone sounding like GLaDOS, I can do that. :p
