what I've done since last:

hey guys, school's been out for 3 days, so I thought I'd drop back by and say Hi, I don't have that much time on the net as before so I don't think I'll be as active, but I'll start checking here for requests again so feel free to make some at my spriting thread :) neways, whats been up? well, I managed to pull my grades back up to being mediokere, 3 or 2 Bs not completely sure yet probably 3, and 4 As maybe 5 haha so yeah, school, which was such a hard ride, is finally over. after wards? it's been party after party every day haha Friday we went to a pool party, yesterday just out chilling, and today was my birthday party :0 no pics of vids of today, but the pool party was retarded, they were late so we had to walk arond town -middle of fucking nowhere- for a hour made videos of that though feel free to laugh at us haha Youtube Video ->Original Video Youtube Video -> ok, so this isn't a blog or nething so enough about that, time for info on the game. I did get alot of work done on this :) I finallized the story board, typed out and is almost done implimenting the game script for chapter one. I've got 20 mins of solid game play, I'm going to rewrite a big chunk so thats going to keep me from releasing chapter one. I'm going away to duke this summer for 3 weeks to take a computer programing course, Duke West campus specifically, Duke is ranked 6th college in the US btw, which is nice, but I don't want to go there, my dads going to make me either way *sigh* I want to go to new york art or maybe even SCAD ;_; but honestly I have a better shot at Duke, which is retardedly ironic, I got a 30 on my ACT this year, by senior year if I have like a 32 I'll pretty much be set..... *sigh* if only I could actually fucking DRAW anyways, I'm going to definetly release chapter one by the end of summer, please look forward to it :) if you wish however, I will most likely release a beta on PhanxGames before I leave but no where else as it won't be a finished product. not that chapter one will be finished either, I don't have near any sprites done... kk, thats that, hope ya'll keep watching, and feel free to requests icons on my thread, I'll be doing alot this next 2 weeks before duke!!! but I'll keep up with my requests till then :)

Thanks to Ellenor for the female base as well as the pallet for the Fukai remake, decided to remake the two bad sprites in my casting... after... 2 months? Fukai and Miho :P (Purple and green girls) oh god, I'm a lasy ass XD I havn't sprited in so long, I'm suprised I remember how, oh well, didn't really touch the other two.

Maybe with a mercenary system or a western RPG, but with JRPGs, each character is uniquly built, so this really wouldn't work with my taste of games.

Haruhism FTW! lol well, I did this a LOONG time ago, like right after I turned 15, but yeah, I'm almost 17 now, lol. you can compare it to me back then as well, obviously I made myself way skinnier cuz I'm self councious about my fat D: http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images0...0fa52052f5a.jpg lol, nah, not really, I'm the fat asian kid XD

never actually heard of or used the personal save file script, what does it do exactly? the default save system works pretty much I think. as for battle system, I'd just event one, you can't really event a message system, so the UMS wins over for me, but thats really because I can do so :\ (I've a half finished card system which I plan on going back to one day, as well as that FE pack, really old stuff, the only published event system I have is that custom menu.... which reminds me, I never posted it here, I'll do that later.) the DFB isn't terrible if you can add some little gemicks to it through eventing, it's not terrible, just really generic, and even more boring becuase it's over used since it IS the DFB for a RM.

nothing has been more of a staple to me than the UMS, theres no way I'd make a game without it.

either switches of variables. For switches, just turn on either the switch for boy or girl and use conditionals to follow through, for variables, it's the same except just set Boy=1 and girl=2 so the variable "sex" can be set to that number and you can use conditionals to carry through. I suggest variables for any kind of set up based off of this kind of problem, it saves alot of space, event hough this is just a boy and girl, if you get into a bit more complex eventing you're going to want to use variables alot alot more.

honest opinion, this won't work, I've seen this idea set forth plenty of times already. I'll say why as well, it's too big and to intangible, not to mention this won't be you're main project, this same idea is already a MMO for crying out loud, and the mmo sucks, lol (forgot the name, but yeah, you become a space captain and colonize, fight, etc etc.) I'm not saying this is a bad idea in itself, I'd play a game like this, in a sense it's very much like the FFT series, but honestly, no one would pull this off, I don't know you're ability but it's not worth the time. as far as technicality goes, yes, this should work in the hands of someone who can make the resources, have the skills to code the game, technically, I could do this, technically, just think on it, sit on it for a long long time, I wouldn't put myself through this, and if you can't make the resources, you're never going to go anywhere, trust me on this, it doesn't matter how many friends of yours can, it's not going to happen. I'm probably going to get hate for this but I've really seen this at least 4 times already.
