I posted in Code Problems yesterday morning and it's now the next morning. I don't know why but if you can help please do. Me and my broter, threefours have been puzzling over this for the past week or so.

You must understand two things:

Thing the First:
I never help anyone who is interested in working on a DBZ game, or in fact any game that is based directly from copyrighted material using copyrighted graphics without any variations on the theme. That's my discouragement from making them. I'd be more than willing to help someone make a completely original creation, though. I'm not so worried about graphics and music, but it helps a lot if you use your own graphics and find original non-game music to use.

Example of a varied theme: SpaceTug. Names are different. Graphics are Guy T. originals. "Alien" is called a "critter", Nostromo is called the "Monstoro", "Weyland-Yutani" is called "Haywood-Jablomi", etc. It mostly falls under the definition of a parody.
Example of a non-varied theme: DBZ:NN. Names are not changed. Graphics are Ebonshadow originals. "Saiyan" is called "saiyan", "android" is called "icer" which in itself was Ebonshadow's variation until stolen.

It doesn't matter if I'm sounding like an ass to Haroki here, because those are my express sentiments. If Haroki wants my go-ahead to make a game, he can make an original one with original graphics.


Thing the Second:
People don't live and breathe just to post on these forums. When we post here, it's because we're taking a break from our busy lives and busy hobbies to help someone else save time. Which means, roughly, that if we don't help you, there's nothing wrong; it could take, generously, up to three days for someone to help.

I often leave the boards fallow for a couple days at a time!

1. I was BOROWING the graphics, and am currently developing my own.

I did say that was OK, did I not?

2. I'm currently not using music.

That's fine.

3. I'm not making a dbz game.

That's good.
