Kingdom Hearts:KeyBlade Academy (Fan game.)

[bit 944]

It's actually ten years after the last installment. Which would be Kingdom Hearts III, which takes place at about the same time as Kingdom Hearts 3D. So yeah, its about 10 years after the events in 3D.

oh, i guess i read it wrong

[chuksxy 21]

Well i finished it. But as Photoshop failed... Thaks pc. I color it manually. I have the original still in blank for change of colors...

Tell me if i need to change or modify something. Also, do you need concept art of Radiant Garden? and how many years have passed on this game?

nice work on the uniforms Blacksun ^^. I really like the male one. but the female one is quite good. I'll probably make some alterations. anyway guys, here is my progress on kiaru. I've been up all night and day just modelling this guy. the model isn't complete yet cause I'm not done with the hair as well as textures. as a matter of fact i got frustrated doing the hair and just move on to texture his skin. I'll probably go back to the hair later. after a good sleep. also, the areas black haven't been textured yet/ and i haven't corrected the contrast of his skin. anyway, I'll be posting more updates later.

 

Note: he is in his Pj's not his uniform

 

 

Edit: i made little progress on the hair as well as his skin.

still don't know whether it has that kh feel to it. so any comments, suggestions, critique.

welcome to the project. ^_^.

 

 

lol. no worries your suggestions are welcomed. well concerning what you said, we haven't really decided what the students would start with and criteria for joining the academy but we would probably put your idea into consideration since we are currently focusing on the main story.

Update: I didn't feel like making a new post for this. Anyway, here is my progress on the school. just started working on it recently. just a little update.

sorry for the camera distortion.

Awesome!!

[Grotesquery 603]

I did see it, but my questions still remain, the two will be playable characters, as in how? Like BBS?

We still haven't decided on that. All that is for sure is that both of them will be playable.

[Shera Wizard 2,736]

Ah yes question again,

 

This one's about the stained glass, should it be the protagonist's figure surrounded with Disney characters or the protagonists surrounded with the others (Protagonists/Antagonists) or just a plain glass bordered with all the protagonists face? Or should it be a disney one ._.

 

or maybe Lea's?

well, to be honest, that's all up to you. the Main thing to consider though is that the main protagonists have to be in it. you can probably add whoever you like. you can probably even add sora and the other lights. i think that would be the best choice. that's just my opinion anyway.^^

[Shera Wizard 2,736]

well, it's almost done, need a few headers, Sora, Kairi, Axel and the returning character will be in the smaller circles while Kiaru'll be in the middle, this is just gonna be base and a shout out to say im still on it

 

 

sorry its upside-down

[chuksxy 21]

hey guys, I know we haven't posted progress in a while. Everyone has been really busy with life and all i guess. Anyway, I had some free time so i decided to work on kiaru. I'm almost done with the textures. just remains a few minor tweaks here and there. i also have to fix his hair and redo some part of the hair textures. anyway, here is a pic of my progress. I'll probably rig him and throw him into the game engine later this week. and hopefully have game play to show later in the month. ^^

Awesome work on this

 

One thing: The head looks a liiiiiiittle off in the second pic, but everything else is wow *o*

[Zephyr_320 65]

You know i'll help with what ever story ideas you need just PM what you already have and i give you my 2$s worth because 2cents isnt enough

[bit 944]

I was wondering... on youtube while searching for game engines I found this video.

Its a UDK ( unreal development kit ) its about 60$ a month, and if we all chipped in the game may get more noticeable and more people will play it.

now why'll looking at it I also wondered: what would it be like to have an over world environment updating every so often!, or making a new project in general!?  sorry im getting ahead of myself just watch the video already!  

[Zephyr_320 65]

Can someone please tell me what you guys have so far and what you all need (Story/Plot wise) this is my specialty and he already asked me to help i just really want to help out and this seems like a good idea!

Do you have Chuksxy's approval?

[Zephyr_320 65]

Do you have Chuksxy's approval?

Yeah he PM'd me a while back and asked me to help and i was waiting for him to reply with what he wants but he never did

yeah, i already know of the udk. It's quite an awesome game engine, as a matter of fact, my partner and i are working on a game with it. Sadly, the engine is quite...... let me say difficult for beginners to get into. I myself cant do shit with it. It has it's own scripting language and would be quite difficult to create an rpg with unless if really experienced. So instead we would be making using of the unity 4 engine. it's quite user friendly and their tons of tutorials around. It also has some nice features as well.

Sadly, the game we're making isn't going to have graphics as sexy as the video you pasted. That would require tons of work to achieve and i want to go with the traditional air brushed cartoony look KH games have. so basically the game would run on most PCs and would take less time to develop.

[Shera Wizard 2,736]

Udk looks like something they used for the KH openings

[Javelin434 3,164]

This looks really interesting! Unfortunately, I have no special skills to offer... Darn. Wish you the best of luck!

Developers know that somewhere in the middle of a project, all motivation can be suddenly lost for an unknown reason.

 

This has happened to me a few times (*Cough* Sorry about Altered Fates); though, I was really hoping it would happen to this game.

 

Anyway, this still alive?

I'm kind of worried about that too. Especially since no one's really heard from Chuks in awhile.

 

If people still displayed an interest in this project, then I'd be willing to continue providing any contributions I could. I'm just not sure what exactly has been going on with it lately.

[ssceles 134]

I dunno what the plan is. He's actually better at traditional art than some of the volunteers, so I wish he'd get more of his own ideas out there so I knew what -he- wanted, specifically, too. I'm still here, and I can redraw and present things in a more polished way, but... even from the beginning, I had no interest in the project at an intimate level (I was asked into this because I'm clearly an artist, but I do paid work and that always comes first - and I have my own game I'm working on, unrelated to KH). I've never been the sort of fan to make fandom OCs for myself, and I don't have time in my schedule to pour my heart into designs and concepts right now. =/My schedule is opening back up soon, so... I'll keep my eyes open if I'm needed.

It all just depends on where Chuks wants to take the project from this point on, as well as how much work he's actually managed to finish. Like I said, he sort of just dropped off the site a while back. He still(occasionally) shows up on Skype, put I haven't really had much time to talk to him lately. I don't know if the project has been cancelled or not, but if you want, I could try asking him the next time I can catch him. I think it would be beneficial to everyone if we had a clear idea of where the project is, and where exactly it's heading.

Hey guys,

  First of all, I want to apologize for not coming online for such a long period of time. For some funny reason, I couldnt log in months ago so I had to write to Dchuich to change my password. Apart from that, i've been really busy and all. I've been working on an ios game project as well as sorting out some life related problems.

 

Well here comes the real news. sadly the project has been put on hold. The team I put together to make the game split up so I couldnt advance in development.

I guess they werent motivated/ dedicated enough. so I eventually sold most of the 3d assets I made to a freind of mine who wanted to use them in his game since they were'nt of any use to me anymore.

  Well, the whole thing was probably my fault though, I didnt have the skills to manage such an ambitious project I guess, first the programmers bailed on me, then the concept artist (this was probably the hugest blow I received). After that, I guess i just lost all motivation. I was so frustrated so I just sold the 3d models. sadly only me, the animator and the music/ sound guy remains (for some weird reason they are still quite pumped about the project).

So basically, these guys dont want this project to die and I did'nt want to dissappoint you guys as well so I decided to try to improve my art as well as learn programming since i can only rely on myself to get things done in the end.

  So for now, things are a bit stiff. At this rate, I would have to reduce the scope of the project as well. If Time permits, I might post renders of the character models I made though at least a few of them. Although they wont probably appear in the game since i've already sold them as well as the rights to them.

  However, we can probably speed things up if we can actually get a dedicated programmer and artist to work on this since this would definitely reduce the workload on me. Until then well, expect little progress. Although, I would post all the new designs and concept art I make for you guys to see.

  So expect more updates later on. This Project isnt DEAD!!!!!!.........not yet anyway.

Question wih your blender did skills did you follow a tutorial or just mess around
