FUCK YEA. Eventually when I'll be satisfied with the concept arts to come, I'll try to attack the colours. But if not inspired enough, I might ask colour suggestions in a near future ^^

This should not be a problem, I see lots of cheerful colors lol.
Okay I'm thinking we need to have a reason why the socks are coming alive, maybe they come alive because of a tear in the fabric of space in time, located on the mount of “Insert Name”. The tear causes socks to leave their sock dimension and possess the socks in Sock Knights dimension.

I feel maybe the protagonist needs a more clarified reason for leaving the comfort of his cabin in the woods to go search for socks, so I came up with this. See in his childhood he used to live in town, but the crime rate started increasing, no one was sure why, they soon come to find out that socks have somehow started coming alive and they are causing problems in towns and villages. So maybe one day the boy and his father were walking home from the market one day and a band of sock demons and corrupted socks started attacking, the little boy was able to escape because his father told him to run, but his father was left behind and was murdered by the sock bandits. The boy and his mom fled to the forest where there seemed to be no socks present, they found an old abandoned cabin and moved in, they spent over 15 years until the boy was finally a man. The man, Sock Knight is now old enough to investigate what happened all those years ago when his father was killed by the sock bandits.

That's a lot of stuffs you put here. It looks a little bit too dramatic. I thought about something different. In a world when the firsts socks became to exist, the abandonned socks became alive for being abandonned which the God of Socks was the first being to come. They become active to the eyes of those worthy to care enough for them, such as Sock Knight. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule as the main villain's perversion attracted the attention of the Devil Sock, finding rather amusing the intends of the Panty Collector. For the backstory of the hero, I was thinking something like... him and his family were banished from the town due to the father's obsession to socks, which in the future, his son will inherit his dad's lobby as the sock statistic collector. People found them creepy, which is why they had to live outside the village. Of course, the Sock Fairy will seek for the hero (Sock Knight) to come in order to save the world.

Well that pretty much covers the main plot, and I agree it sounds much less dramatic than my idea, I will much rather work with this idea, it seems to connect with everything we have already talked about as well.

Take your time, even myself is slacking a little bit while taking my time for some art concepts :P

Yes chilling oute is nice, I been pondering sprites, and matching them with bust pictures, not easy with rural farm but I think DS pack may work, but hard to say until I try them out.

You don't say ^^
[doublepost=1445463454,1445461567][/doublepost]Here's some adds :



I imagine as a late boss, the one that puts the hero to rest with question during the fight. I was inspired of this video :

Instead of guessing which one is the weak spot. You have to hit the corresponding colour according the question each turn. Would be epic if that was possible, don't you think? :D

These are awsome, wow, I really never thought socks could make such bad ass battlers :D
So I'm surprised at how much I been able to put into this game so far, I love it. I'm just working out all the sprites, mainly npcs like villagers and town people etc, im matching busts and facesets and then i'm going to work on the story, i'm going to work on some of the database and start eventing some cutscenes, and a create bit of playtime, and viola we have a game :D

I'm thinking of how it would play out trough events or scripting. So the Sock Of Truth's weak point would change each question/turn? I'm not sure how I could make this work, maybe by changing it's elemental damage each turn. I do like this idea though, it would be something unique for a boss battle.

Indeed. Not to say it's going to be the most original, considering the fact I was inspired to Son of Sun from my favourite game of all time. But such complexe mechanism would be awesome. And it will test the player as well to see if they made their homework to remember what colour someone's sock was etc.
