Hey folks, Dunkelschwamm here.
[Edit: This project, as far as my involvement is concerned, is completed. I have ripped everything from both Middens and Gingiva that I will and anybody who wishes to approach these games from this point will not be stepping on my toes. Thanks for tuning in everybody!]
Just wanted to make this post to "lay my claim" as it were on Middens and its sequel, Gingiva.
I haven't made many threads since the advent of the on-site submitting system. I'll be sure to update my progress of the dual project here. This is a project that will likely take several days or even a couple weeks, and during such projects I often get a little paranoid that somebody else will start ripping and submitting sheets that I already have queued for submission.
I'm sure that at least some of you good folks will attest that I am a reliable ripper for such a chaotic and massive project. I like to think that over the years I've built up a portfolio of rips that can help inspire confidence that I will handle these rips with precision, care, and completion.
One of the main reasons I am posting this is that I want to submit all of the sprites for these games at one time, rather than the trickling system that I employed during my rips of the three Lisa games. As such, while I will be keeping progress reports in this thread to keep everybody updated, I will only actually submit the sprites for each game when it is finished. This way the sprites should only show up on one site update, and hey, maybe we can make another new record (seriously, these games have a lot of specific characters with full battle animations and overworld sprites, and will certainly be my largest rips yet).
If you have any questions, feedback, criticisms of this procedure, or specific requests, feel free to comment. I assure you that none of you will be met with hostility and that I am always happy to hear the opinions and corrections of others.
With that out of the way, I will post my current progress (having only decompiled the games' resources on October 2nd ((yesterday as of posting))).
Last Update: November 29th
Middens Progress:
Middens Party and NPCs fully ripped; pending on possible tiles/backdrop rips.
Gingiva Progress:
Pending ripping progress until class finals are complete.
Notes: I hope that none of this comes off as too pushy on my end, for having "laid claim" to these two games. I am simply very enthusiastic about ripping these games and would hate for my projects to be interrupted because somebody else has begun submitting the sprites themselves. This had happened a couple years ago when I was ripping PC First Person Shooters and I never really forgot the disappointment when my work had gone to waste, and these feelings of course could not be directed anywhere as nobody was at fault. I wanted to include this explanation so that nobody gets the wrong idea and thinks that I'm being territorial. I love you all and can't wait to make this contribution to the greatest and most comprehensive sprite database on the internet.
