Phantasy Star Cave Message Board

Restorate team had started a project of remake PSIV.
It'll be 3D version for PC, if I'll be able to port it, it may be for *Nix OS and for MAC OS as well.

We are programming this fabulous game on BlitzBasic3D language.

Screenshots aren't available now, cuz we are just finished only Piata acadamy and started makind 3D models of Chaz&Rika.

Of course we need help. Especially we need designer for 2D graphics. (Its menu& all other stuff lika that)

We are planning to make movies instead of manga-screens in some places, like death of Alys.

Also we want to make voices of characters, but we are from Russia&Kazakhstan so maybe only I can speak English freely without accent so it'll be difficult.

Screens will be in about 1-2 weeks.

This sounds like an excellent idea. I am very curious of how this will turn out. So could you please write a list of what exactly you are searching for? I might be of assistance with the voice over if you need one?

By the way, do you have any idea what happened with this russian Phantasy Star fan site?:
http://phantasystar.net.ru/

Please keep us updated with your project.

First, this site is down cuz its not very popular& administration of site hadn't enougn money to pay for hosting... maybe cuz our mentality dont like to give money.

Now, lets get down to business .
We need some help with menu graphics, especially backgrounds, cuz we dont like just blue background with lines, like in original PSIV. But, we have a designer,who is making main character portraits, the first is done, but we need to color it & make it more maybe digital...

look at this&share your opinion. Remember! Its just uncolored & unshaded version of portrait.

Chaz's portrait

Sorry for off-top.

This is for Missagh - all Russian PS fan sites had "died". There are still 1 forum which is also "dying"... that's why I came here. Maybe I should create my own PS fan site with forum... I'll think 'bout it.

Ah, also, I forgot. When we'll finish this project we'll make PSV. And 1 more question - are your PSV project alive?

Chaz's portrait

It's not bad at all. I expect the end result to be even better. He actually looks his age, and it has more of an anime feel than in the Genesis game itself, IMO.

I'm not artistically minded at all, but I am fluent in English, and I'd love to help with the voice over.

I could help with that as well. I just got a new mic four days ago and I'm dying to test it out. Although, Chaz would prbably... not be my forte. My voice is a tad too deep for that. Maybe I could to Gryz or Hahn.

Thanks for all your helping hands, but we decided to make a voices only in a few CG movies, so I think with help of my classmates here, in Kazakhstan we'll be able to do it. One more reason to do it is that we all living in different cities, and countries, and it'll be difficult a little to make it.

One more thing we are worrying about. Its battle system. I dunno what to make with camera - still it in back like in original PSIV, or make some improvisation and make camera more lifeful like in FF VII,VIII,IX. What do you think?

Keep the original camera angle for menu selections and stuff, at least. And if you're feeling adventurous, sure, have the camera be more active when attacks or skills are playing out.

And here I thought I finally had my chance to voice a blue, furry lumberjack. Ah well. In any case, different camera views would be a great innovation. Although, it'll be a lot of work to remake all the monsters in 3D, which you may have to do anyway. But the attacks, particularly the combos, such as Grand Cross and Destruction, will look absolutely gorgeous. IT'll be a lot of hard work, but don't give up! If there's anything I can do to help, just tell me.

I think I'd make a good Zio.

Now I'm just picturing Dave Mustaine (sp?) as Zio, and that's alternately funny and frightening.

I'd make a good Gryz, so I found. I used my mic to record and slightly alter my voice, saying some of Gryz's lines. Turns out it sounds better than I thought it would. Good for someone who's never really done voice acting, anyway. And still a helluva lot better than Baten Kaitos' voiceovers.

Thanks for giving a help, BUT as i said already we will be able to create voices by ourselves (Im and my classmates, are studing english in a special school ) so the problem of accents is "killed" About 1-2 hours ill put a screen here of our work
