Chao Maker Flash Game
Hey guys! I've recently begun something that I've wanted to do for a long time, and that's make an in-depth chao maker flash game.
It's currently on version 0.00, so VERY early development, but I'd like to post it here to see what people think?
Many more updates to come, probably in the next few days, even.
You can play it here: http://fav.me/dabq2yw
EDIT 07/28/2016: Colours and overlays added. Error with eye colour fixed. Overlay moved behind eyes and mouth. Wings and emote linked to type button.

Re: End's Chao Maker
Eventually, I would like to have every possible chao be able to be made in this game, as well as several impossible ones, including all the different colour and texture options.
Re: End's Chao Maker
Good job, would be really cool if I could recreate my Chao with your tool. But I guess animal parts and hats are too much of a stretch? But keep it up!

Re: End's Chao Maker
Like I said, this is really early in development; I'm posting it online mostly for bug testing purposes. Right now I'm working on incorporating first evolutions and finding a better way to handle the base colours and the two-tone overlays. I'm also strongly considering switching to using vector graphics, but those can be a pain to work withRouce wrote:Good job, would be really cool if I could recreate my Chao with your tool.

Re: End's Chao Maker
Well, everything seems to work so far. The only thing that seems off is that stripe on neutral Chao's forehead. You can see it better if you invert the colors. See fullscreen.

Re: Chao Maker Flash Game
Hey guys. I'm still working on this game, but it got pushed back due to some personal reasons. I've updated the graphics to be vectors as opposed to bitmaps, so that should improve the general quality. Currently, I'm working on drawing the head and wing shapes for the basic evolutions.
I've also added more eye and mouth shapes, and am working on developing a cohesive colour picker.
EDIT: I almost forgot! I'm looking for someone to help me design a GUI for this, as I'm... admittedly rather terrible at those. I can program them just fine, but designing them is a different story

Re: Chao Maker Flash Game
I think I could design a UI for it directly in Flash fairly easily, under the circumstances that you have the same version of Flash as me or that newer .fla files are backwards compatible (I don't exactly remember what happens anymore).
The version I have being the one that's attached to Adobe's great/horrible Creative Cloud service and currently called "Animate".

Re: Chao Maker Flash Game
I use ActionScript 2.0 in CS3. I'm pretty sure the only compatibility requirement is using the same language + not implementing any newer features, at least in the CS lineup.

Re: Chao Maker Flash Game
Ah, Adobe started only supporting AS 3.0 instead of 2.0 when they moved to Creative Cloud.
I think I have a working copy of Flash CS6, which supports both, on an older computer though. I'm gonna check.
EDIT: It works!
