Ballade

Introduction This isn't a sequel, it's an entirely different series to Lavot, the other game will have it's own series later. It's less of a linear game, and more like an adventure, where you actually explore instead of a simple stage. Story After Dracula was killed by Quincy Morris in 1897, 100 years later, he awoke, along with Alucard and his castle. Alucard was frightened that Dracula might be trying to destroy the human race, like he always planned. He was right, so he killed Dracula, but was unable to destroy the rest of the castle, leaving Dracula's ashes. 70 years later, Alucard lives in White Haven City with his friend Gabriel. He's trying to hide from 8 Phases of Megiddo. The 8 Phases of Megiddo are trying capture Alucard, and use his blood to ressurect Dracula. Alucard went back to his original name, Adrian, and lived as a student in White Haven. One of the 8 Phases of Megiddo, Succubus, know that Alucard lives in White Haven, and suspects that it's Adrian, because of his last name, Tepes. So she seduces Gabriel to draw Adrian to her. Characters Dracula Age: Immortal Gender: Male Known as Lord of the Night, Dracula is the main antagonist of these games. He is currently dead. Adrian "Alucard" Tepes Age: Immortal Gender: Male Alucard is Dracula's son. He uses the name Alucard because it's Dracula spelled backward, to show that he's against Dracula. Gabriel Age:18 Gender:Male Gabriel is Alucard's best friend. He calls Adrian his brother at school, even they share no resemblances. 8 Phases of Megiddo Phase 1: Death (Grim Reaper) Death is one of the 8 phases. He works with Succubus to search for Alucard Phase 6: Succubus One of the 8 Phases, she works with Death to search for Alucard. Warning Although there are no visuals to support this, this game is not for children. Screenshots Alucard in Noah's Park

lol, thanx! gonna make a poll so ppl can rate the demo.

Holy hot damn! This is what you call a game! keep it up!

Added a demo in the first post :D

Everything updated, plz comment

Big edit, see first post

New Cruz sprite, and his weapon changed from daggers to a gun

PSD? I save the jpg of my image, whats that? Ok, the title screen can wait cuz when i used the paint brush to remove the black areas, theres alot of white or grey areas that are hard to get rid of.

Comes with XAS, its in the character section of the graphics. Working on that now, 20 minutes left before school starts. BTW is it another way to remove the black around the text? Just using paint seems to take too long. Yea, but the last one felt pretty default. I like using custom graphics a lot.

No, there from Draglade,Draglade2,Megaman and Bass, and Megaman 8. I just use a character template.

Okay. New screenshots+HUD and more character info added.

Okay, thanks Kiriashi. And I'll try to fix the title screen.

Yea, like the megaman 9 and 10 demos, just a level. But i dont want to make it any of the first or end levels cuz thats just like telling you the whole game.

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Srsly? It's that good? Its actually easier than a regular RTP game WITHOUT scripts. but Thanx cat! *high five*

LOL Ty, I keep making edits right after the screenshots. I changed the New Game Continue and Exit pictures. Using standard images makes me feel lazy :P But thanx for tha feedback

New title screen =)

Of course thats not what im gonna use when im done, I'm still working but theres virtually NOTHING else to add to it. Whoops, didnt see this. Im using XAS, and an AMS so far. And I'll try to add more info on the characters

I saw a media BBCode but not a audio one. U have to click on the video that pops up and then the music plays. Ill deal with that after school. I added a video in the Gameplay Section. It's me getting pwned by search man at the end. w00t :D And what do u mean draw a map with a few characters?

lol, thx for ur feedback. And that song is pure pwnage!!!!!!

New Screenshot of Cruz fighting Search Man :D

Im using these for my game. Just wanted to show what I did. U can use them cuz i didnt make them. All i did was resize them. Credit goes to Capcom and Whoever made Draglade on NDS. If u use these, u HAVE to use them and other tilsets that match them. Standard RTP will never go with it, no matter how much you edit it.

Thanx, i know how that is. i tried with regular RTP and i failed massively. Now i just get Megaman and Bass rips and turn them into tilesets. Each different themed level takes up two tiles. one for the walkable part and one for the very bottom. The rest r panoramas. So all i gotta do for a map is put down a floor with gaps and spikes in it. And Platformers are nonexistent on RPG Maker so I'm gonna make history. >:D

Intro Okay, so this is one of my many attempts to make a game, So it might just go dead all together. Im not so epic with rpg maker, especailly XP, but im using it because of the better scripting possibilites it has over VX. I left cuz I had PC issues. When i fixed them i forgot to log bak in here. Gameplay Well, I'm going to attempt to make a side scroller/platformer game. The only problem i have is with maps, some are hard to make linear, so if anybody can help me out with that then pm me. About the fighting system, I'm using XAS ABS because the enemies are more cuztomizable than any other abs i know on any other maker, witch helps alot in a platformer game. [flash(425,350)] Back Story In 2004 a scientist tried to make "fake" humans. All his creations were terribly flawed until 2008. That year he successfully created an unnamed human. Later, the scientist named him GEMINI DRN - 001, Gemini for short. About a year later, ARIES DRN - 002 (Aries for short) was created by the same scientist. The two were meant to just be housekeepers for the scientist, until a tragic outbreak occurred. An unknown infection had spread across Carmina Gadelica (Their home town). It caused deaths of many citizens, until they accused the scientist. His robots caused this unknown infection. The people formed a mob and tried to destroy the two creations, but they went berserk and wiped out the entire mob. The survivors evacuated that part of Carmina Gadelica, locking Gemini and Aries away in what is now called the "slums". Characters (So far) Cruz Age: 16 Gender: Male The main character of the game. He uses a small gun to fight. He can use Model X, an adapter to his gun and use an even stronger gun. Weapon: Unnamed Gun, Copy X(He gets copy X at a certain part of the game) Special Attack: Valis Akira Age:17 Gender:Female Akira is Cruz's friend, she uses a small gun like Cruz. She accompanies Cruz while they fight to kill Gemini and Aries Weapon: Wave Burner Special Attack: Nova Strike Devak Age:14 Gender:Male Akira's friend. She thinks he's the smartest person she knows and that causes him to treat Akira and Cruz like there dumb. Weapon: Zero Buster Special Attack: Devil Ray Giro Age:16 Gender:Male Giro is Cruz's best friend. like anyone else, he uses a gun in battle, but has the power to transform into Model Z, which uses a sword.
