Please post all your images, sounds and ideas for the new Gatch RPG! I am hoping to develop with your help and unique talents to create a truely Gatch related RPG system. The challenge is basically to create the necessary files and structure for the RPG and have your work immortalised on the site. I will even accept your own Gatch Fanfic charectors, items upon review. I am also aiming to create prizes (RL ones) for those who assist in this endevour. If you have questions please ask! Please note that any files you wish to submit signifies that you allow Gatchamania.net to utilise them any way the site sees fit and this right cannot be revoked.

We need background images for the battle arena. The size is 320x240, they need to be .gif or .jpg format (I can convert these if you have trouble) and please keep the images simple on the colours as they need to load fast. 50kb is perhaps the largest size. Here is an example.

We need new items and new types of items. For instance weapons, armour, clothing even please put forward ideas. Most of these images may vary in detail but again must be .gif or .jpg format. The standard dimensions are 32x31 but if necessary we can go up to 50x50. When you submit a new item please give its attributes, its name etc. Here is an example item,

I'm guessing you need different armour classes. I can think of a few sets for good and evil - good 1st class (eg Ken's birdstyle) and good 2nd class (eg Joe's birdstyle, since that one doesn't seem quite so sturdy). And maybe 3rd class since Jun's looks quite draughty and allows her ankles to get hurt. Then on the evil side we have the Galactor commander as the toughest armour, Galactor captain as middle level and Galactor goon as the weakest. Sort of thing. And the weapons, well, Gatch has standard weapons. The birdrang, feather shuriken, yoyo, cable gun, bolos, snot, etc. Not that these would do for those of an evil inclination, we'd get exploding roses, bombs, wrist daggers etc.

We don't just have to stick with good and evil. You may notice we have elements, these I think need to be changed to something else that is possibly more suitable for instance, personality? I'm sure Lyon would love to add her plasma rifle too

Elements like leader, hothead, sweet & brainy, infantile, and sumo? Or what?

Well it has to be picked by the user when the charector is developed so ya if you like But they need to counterbalance another like paper, scissors, rock.

How do the elements work at the moment? What effect do they have? Knowing that would make it easier to work out how to Gatch-ify them.

Erm, Fire strong against water but is weak against wind Wind is strong against fire but is weak against earth etc etc

The different versions of the show for the elements? Although I think we'd get people taking the one or two series they're familiar with, so Eagle Riders and G-Force and the later Gatch series would be pretty empty.

I had an idea about the races. From what little I know you could select, Condors, Hooties, Eagles, Swans, Galactors, erm and any others *grin*

Hmmm...I have some images and stuff from an rpg maker my little (well...younger...he's actually about half a foot taller than me ) brother has on this computer. Unfortunately, the backdrops for battles are 320 x 160. However, it has character features (such as faces and bodies in various positions) and weapons. You interested in any of it? And if so, what dimensions?

Whatever you think might be appropriate for a Gatch related RP is good enough. Post an example I can always "try" and tinker with it later.

Ok, well here's a backdrop. Edit: Whoops. Forgot to convert it.

And then I have a million of these little character set things. A lot of them are medieval/fantasy. Some are ripped from other games. Anyways, each file has a collection of these.

Of course, none of it is specifically Gatch related. It'd take a lot of searching to find something that *really* works. But it's here. I have weapons, face sets (little collections of avatars, etc. But again, none of them are really pertaining to Gatch.

Why not just modify an image yourself Elvin?

That backdrop is perfect for the generic insides of the generic mecha du jour!

Who, me? Work? Er...I could try. I'll see what I can pull off. Note: Elvin is incredibly lazy, so this might take a while. ^_^

Ok, so far, I can change the resolution of the backdrops, but the smallest I can get them to without a huge loss of quality is 76k. I got it down from 226k to 76 by changing the image to gray-scale. Is it still too big? If so, I'll try working on some other options.

No no hun, don't worry about that its a great contribution and I have the tools to set it right! Keep providing images and ideas peeps!

Ok--here's the first re-sized one.

Heh. Didn't realize that one was smaller. *contemplates as to why, since both images started the same* Let's just say that I'm pretty new to this whole editing images thing. ^_^ Anyways...here's the second one...which, in all actuality, is the one I showed ya'll first...and it's smaller too... *whistles the Twilight Zone theme*

They look great

Why thank you. ^_^ This is really a very large experiment for me.
