Halo 2D game update/discussion topic

Hi, as you may have known I have been making a little 2d halo fan game.

I have progressed alot since I first announced that I was making it and now I need 1 or 2 people to help with some sprites or what ever you call them. At the moment I just need a Banshee(facing left and right) Right now I have just completed a short story board for a new level in the game and I have finished the first 2 out of 8 parts of it. I hope to finish up this game before Halo 2 comes out :D .


The level shown in the story board will take place in either a large building of some sort or a large crash landed cruiser, the other level will be a banshee flight level.

If you would like to help out with the sprite things please let me know in this topic or by a PM, my AIM name is IWTPH2 but I'm not always on that.

Thanx in advance and here is a link to a pic of the storyboard(it is a sloppy storyboard but it suites my purposes. http://www.freewebs.com/iwtph2/index.htm

Anyone who helps with this game will recieve full credit for what they do.


EDIT:

I think this game is what you would call a platform game, like a side view of the character and level.

My general idea is before halo 2 comes out, I am on the 4th frame of the level out of 8 that were shown in the story board I posted. It realy depends on if I run in to many problems, making the enemies and getting a banshee sprite.

Wanna know how i got my sprites, used Sparkedit, try it.

The Games Factory eh? I used to use that, Multimedia Fusion owns though.

Well, i wonder what the future holds. Me you and Gameman will probably start a huge Halo fangame making craze...*shudders*

Just wait till tonight, my demo will be out :-p. It is flawed but playable.
Good look with your game anyways.

Thanx, and good luck with your game too. I would like to use MMF but there is this weird thing it does to my games when I save them, it messes up the objects and events, I dont know why, mayby its my comp?

I think I'll try that sparkedit thing, with the new model viewing it will come in handy, I've recently become very interested in using the longsword fighter for something.
