Just out of interest where you are going with this (so it's not critique!). Tables are almost never used by more developed web designers, instead we use divs. And styling like the coloring are always made up in an external css file. Are these two things you'll explain to your students later on? :) @ kiriashi: it kinda is, but this is an empty page when i create one: html: + css: So Chief is doing a good job at keeping this simple :P

1) I don't think there's a limit. If there is, it's still nothing to worry about. 2) depends on you. You can add the database of resources with your game when you compress your game data. If you do so, the filesize will be much bigger, but peopel without rmxp can play it. 3) Go to tools -> material base -> import. You should be able to chose a transparant color here. 4) Ask around the forum. One guy has been accepting sprite requests ovet at the Resource Showcase & Critique lately. 5)Visual equipment script, google is your friend to find it ;) 6) I'm pretty sure yes, can't remember teh script's name though. 7) Sure, both eventing and scripting can do that. 8) parallell events is your friend here! (on an event choose trigger parallell proces). there are many different ways to do this, and it's really not difficult. 9) Search for a splashscreen script or something. search here, hbgames, google... I made a custom splashscreen script, but i'd prefer to search for a public script first :P

I think the trailers that were submitted were pretty good in the end, but there might have been some thing you could have done to gain more competitors and voters (and new members): * this contest should have gotten a nice place on the homepage * You could have posted about this contest on many other forums like hbgames and rmrk. Because there were money prizes, i'm sure a lot of people would have came over to this forum * With a contest like this it's possible to accept games from other makers liek XNA, flash etc.

Yay! Thanks for the votes everyone! I hope the trailer sparked some people's interest to also play the demo of the game Ascenion ^^ Also congrats to the other contestants. I saw some nice video's that made a very intresting competition. Also thanks a lot to Franklin to give away the great price pool! If anyone wants to know how i'll spend the money: It will be used for the webhosting of the game's website and i'll come up with a competition of my own soon where you can win real posters of my game! I'll give you my paypal-account name tomorrow Franklin! :)

can you also sprite monsters? If so, i would hire you =)

I like (more traditional) asian kitchen and mainly japanese and indian. However, Belgian food (where i live) is great as well. Ah, a nice belgian steak with belgian fries, you don't find that anywhere else in the world!

That cluster looks great!

I understand your feedback, but you must understand that most of what you said was done on purpose: I remade my introtrailer of my game for this contest. A trailer to purely promote a game shouldn't have credits indeed. But my trailer is meant as an opening as in any given television show, anime, visual novel... That's also the reason why i introduce the characters as i did: so it resembles an anime show/visual novel opening because this game has influences from mainly visual novels. So, what you said is correct, but if you know teh background i think you'll understand why i did things that way.

Oops, didn't read that, sorry :sweatdrop:

So, ehm. is there still anything happening with this? :unsure:

There was a small error somewhere in the demo so i had to update and re-upload. if you had this error (the touchpad in Sokin's house) you can now download the new version and copy your savefile.

I might like your services! ... :sweatdrop:

agreed on that one

Finally we can bring you the final version of Ascension Part1: Rebirth Demo please have a look at our project, it has 2-3 hours of gameplay at this point! This is the final version of the demo and these things have been improved: * The install program should work faster and better * The dialouges have been rewritten where needed by Zankoky No Yami. * Jumping System has been improved, but isn't perfect yet. * Minor bug fixes Download here: There's also a bunch of new screenshots: More map screenshots: System Screenshots: I have also written some information about character upgrading, sidequests and use of weapons and accessories: Character upgrading: Sidequests and Mythic Quests: Weapons, Accessories and Loot: And lastly, another track from D33JNES: We have to inform that D33JNES found a job in the professional music industry. We are very happy for him to have reached his goal, but he will not be able to compose the rest of the OST. We are mildly looking for a new composer to finish the OST. So if you feel intrested, you can always contact me. The starting post of the thread has also been updated. We would love to hear you guys feedback!

How can you invest in a good story if the gender is player based? The best kind of story you could create with this is Pokémon-level, which is excellent for pokémon games but sucks for other rpg games. And before you decide on your kind of armors, weapons an characters you need AT LEAST a plot outline, so i hope you guys did that? (better to be straight forward now than after the game ;))

I think you have to post it in the other thread :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxaF-QHrjG8 i'm loving this song, it's the same style i used to play when i was playing guitar in a band, only better lol

If i had the time, i would join. But unfortunately, i don't have the time :( good luck guys

It's a fun concept, but i've seen 100 of games like this and they all failed. Maybe the goal to make a commercial game out of it might change something.

Berka also has released a script that plays .mpeg and .avi files :)

Trailer and mapping by myself, music by Takahashi Kym and Character art by Yana Badari and Mathijs Sterrenburg Website about this project: http://www.gravity-games.org/ Project thread at rmxpunlimited: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/topic/5719-ascension-part1-rebirth/ Hope you guys like it :)

Congrats! I didn't vote myself because i'm not yet around here long enough, but looking at these replies i'm sure you deserved this :)

I'm afraid the deadline for signing up was january 10th, but maybe Franklin is kind enough to still let you guys compete. But i would also understand of one of the competitors would be against that.

has the thread to post our trailers been made already?

I uploaded a video of the last battle in the demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIf0wC52Mig The current version of the demo is stable and working, but we're working on the improvements based on people's feedback. The dialogues are also being overhauled/improved by Zankoku no yami. The improved and final version of the demo will be ready in a few weeks. In the meanwhile, i'm working on chapter 3 of the game which is about 50% finished.
