    Legacy - New Heist 29/01/12

    By Tomo2000

    A $15,000 job, during these times, is a job where you don't ask questions, right? $15,000 is a small armoury; a few P90's, a shotgun or two, a dozen handguns, plus all the ammo. That's a lot of money, and all you need to do is find a 17-year-old girl named Rebecca Kim in a small coastal town, right?   Wrong. There are far too many questions bouncing around left right and centre it's starting to get a little bit scary... Matt was able to snag some information from an online computer at the base

4/4/12 - Story arc

shortly after learning some things in the sacred grove, you rest, and, the next morning head to one of the towers of the Black Knights. this is where the game goes from "find the orbs" to "find the orbs and destroy whats causing it before the evil guys get there and use it for evil" more of exactly what's happening is explained not only later in the game, but in the sequel as well.

3/27/12 - Blizz abs alignment groups

there are now 5 alignment groups used in my game. 1. Allies - You and your party 2. Monsters - Regular enemies and bosses (will attack everything but objects and each other) 3. Black Knights - The Black Knights will attack monsters, but will also attack you. 4. Friends - Allies that cannot be controlled, and help in some boss battles. 5. Objects - Objects that can be destroyed with some kind of attack. (like boxes and stuff)   that's all...

3/19/12 - Aestuo is done

Mt. Aestuo is done, and after you climb down, you're back in Silver Forest, but south of this map, is a field, and then a city near a beach. Bob see's someone, but doesn't recognize them at first. They walk away, and the three follow the shadow. It leads them into a hidden part of the forest. If i say any more, i'd being giving away spoilers.   This game is turning out better than I hoped, and i plan to have it done by the end of summer. I can't work on it as much during the week because of s

My Dog Ate My Homework

My Dog Ate My Homework   Many of you may be familiar with this famous line, known to be said by children who have not done their homework for school from the night before. To a child this seems like a reasonable excuse for not having something done that should be finished. The dog represents a force of nature that can not be controlled, there for validating the destruction of the homework. This seems ok on the outside, and is pretty creative for a child to think up (for the first time). As an

3/17/12 - Boss numbuh 3

the 3rd boss fight is done. in this battle, you fight the second dark orb, turned into a Dark Behemoth. during the fight, Axel helps you...sorta. he's just as strong as when you fought him earlier in Silver Forest. which is pretty weak. don't ask where cathy is in this picture, cuz i don't know. im guessing she's behind something, but it only shows 1 blue triangle on the minimap. so...yea, i thought the whole NPC ally thing was cool.   wait...i think i see her behind Bob...but just barely

3/16/12 - What's done

so lets see...   currently, i have 52 playable maps, 7 maps that either don't appear in the game, and are for my use only, or are simply used to show cutscenes, 22 enemies, 4 destroyable objects, like pots and barrels, 3 true bosses (as in there is a cutscene before fighting them) and about 1hr of gameplay.   all weapons, armor, and items have been created, and i have most of the scripts i need.   the entire story is already thought of. There will definitely be a sequel. i haven't made a f

Touched By Vita

Touched by Vita   You may or may not have heard that Sony Entertainment has released their new hand held gaming system recently the Play Station Vita (PSV). Anyone who reordered a system was able to play a week in advance. Similarly, Sony reps were hired by third party advertising agencies and sent a PSV early in order to prepare for an in store demonstration. I fall into the latter category and had the honor of demoing the Vita in Future Shop and Wal-mart.   I was sent 1 PS Vita, 2 Games(M

Releasing GDU prematurely?

Hi all,   I am thinking about releasing GDU prematurely. That means releasing it when a large number of the sections are yet to be coded.   To be honest, I have lost a lot of motivation and faith in RPG Maker. Perhaps due to a combination of the whithering activity of the more active RMXPU members, or the anti-competitive actions of enterbrain that is trying its best to ensure that there should be only one community for their software.   Why should I help promote the usgae of their softwar

The Big Picture

I spend my whole life devoted to the art of video games. When I grow up I become a video game maker. Eventually I am successful, and my games are worldwide popular. My company expands with the growth of profits. One day I am informed that a group from a foreign country has pirated (copied and redistributing) my most recent and popular game and is giving it away for FREE and selling advertisement space on the website they have it available at. I contact my lawyers in an effort to have the pirat

The beggining, good place as any I guess.

So where to start...I guess with the work I have done on this game so far would be good. This will be a good example of how I will be running this blog. The blog will contain 5 parts per post as such.   Coding Art/Character Design Story Mapping Database Music Miscelanious     This is so I can keep people from getting confused, and makes me wait to post until I have enough content to post. I will also post screenshots/relavent links with the tagline if people want to follow along. I wi

But here's the latest Alpha demo, so feel free to try it out. http://www.multiupload.com/WI48N2Z0II Sorry for the lack of screenies, but enjoy! Credit to Cogwheel for Pixel Movement.

Lesson 7: Flow Control -- Looping

Lesson 7: Flow Control - Looping   Ah, looping. Loops, in my opinion, are what separate a "script" from a "program." So, here comes the obligatory...   What is a loop?   Think of the word loop, in the terms of a song loop -- we say a song is looping when it repeats, once it reaches the end. A loop in programming, is generally a block of code that is repeated any arbitrary number of times. For example, at its very essence, all a video game is, is a huge loop continuously taking input

Introductions and Greetings

Well I guess I'm now here to share my process from a know nothing to a master Jedi, what wrong movie oh, sorry I meant from a beginner to a decent programmer and beyond. Lets start off by saying I am by no means an expert nor am I here to teach, if by some miracle someone learns something from me then great, if someone is inspired to learn a programming language by this then fantastic, if someone wishes to hunt me down and punch me in the face for this then wonderful just as long as you let me k

GDU Topic View Preview

Hi all,   Following my last blog entry, I fixed up the integration issues minus a javascript error. Aside from that, its functioning pretty well, using the exact same database and software as this forum.   I have started to skin the forums, because I want to do the necessities first in case I need to rush it going live. It's a big challenge though, because I am trying to do it with as little HTML edits as possible. The reason is that the HTML is always is changing when IPB update their softw

Lesson 6: Flow Control - Decision Making

Lesson 6: Flow Control - Decision Making In the previous lesson, I taught you about boolean logic. Hopefully, you have a good basis to the concept. This lesson will actually put that logic to good, practical use. This lesson is the first part in the series on Flow Control. Now, for the obligatory "What is flow control...?" At this point, all your programs have had a very basic flow, just execute each line, one by one. However, when you start making real applications/programs, you'll fin

Lesson 5: Intro to Boolean Logic

Lesson 5: Intro to Boolean Logic   You may remember from Lesson 2 (Data types) the "Boolean" data type. If you don't, that's okay; we didn't do much with them. But after this lesson, I promise: you will be on your way to becoming a boolean master. Money back guarantee! (yes, I do know you aren't paying anything for this...MUAHAHAHA!!! err, ahem..)   So, like I mentioned before, a boolean is either "true" or "false" in ruby. Really though, all a boolean is, is a representation of two poss

[GDU]One step forward, two steps backwards

Today, good news, I was finally able to get data from an old(ish) database backup working on the GDU database. This was mainly necessary to create components that will utilize the forums database, and also to write up the CSS and design the forums layout. I want to do something unique for the topic view, rewrite the profile view, and make a decent looking board index.   However, I seem to have run into a problem. There appears to be cracks in what I thought was a perfect template integration s

Learning Ruby -- Lesson 4: Variables, User Input and Type Conversion

Lesson 4: Variables, User Input and Type Conversion   So, upto this point, we have only been working with literal values. A literal value, is a static value; hardcoded by the programmer. For example: 1 2 10.5 "String" are all literals.   But, what if you aren't sure what the final value should be? Or if the value is chosen by the user? Well, as you may know, we have variables to do that. Variables are the programmers direct access to a computer's memory (RAM). Any object can be st

Learning Ruby -- Lesson 2: Objects, Objects, Objects aka Ruby's Data Types

Lesson 2: Objects, Objects, Objects aka Ruby's Data Types   You've probably heard people talk about "object-oriented" languages or programming (and you may even know what this means already). Well then, what is an object-oriented language? It simply refers to a programming language that is based around the object model and it's concepts. So, it's probably better to start at: What is an object?   Well, this may seem cheesy, but:   ob·ject/'äbj?kt/ Noun: A material thing that can be see

Learning Ruby -- Lesson 1: Setting up a Ruby Environment

Lesson 1: Setting up a Ruby Environment   In these lessons, I will be working with the official Ruby interpreter. However, if you'd rather work through RPG Maker, that is definitely possible and for that reason, I will tell you how to do both.   Personally, I think everyone interested in really getting into Ruby (whether for use in RPG Maker or not) should get the official interpreter. This will allow you to quickly test code outside of an RPG Maker environment, as well as the interp
