guess not

i wait for my phone to make that little chime, when im not on my computer, it usually means i have an email, and right now im only getting them from youtube, which is cool, but i miss knowing what people are saying without having to wait till i get home or something.

do i always get an error when making a blog or blog entry. but when i refresh it's fine. it's that annoyingly common error message, and im sure almost everyone has seen it, so i don't feel a need to show it lol

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 final decision on the title, but right now it's Arcatis II: The Chosen One It will take place 2 days after the end of the first game, and will have some kind of weapon level system. since the three main characters have already graduated, the name issues that i can't seem to fix will not be present in the sequel. the world is split into 4 parts 3 countries, and 1 unclaimed territory. the northernmost one, named after the city that was started in it's center, Arcatis, the southernmost one, Polraud, and the Western one, Kelless. Only Arcatis appears in the first game, but you visit all 4 areas in the sequel. All major areas in Arcatis have been named, and there will be something in game, where you can read about each area. the ending of the game has been created, but may be changed from what it is now. if you can help with scripting, or spriting, let me know, any help would be greatly appreciated, and i will definitely have a job for you. I'm going to add another entry whenever i finish a large area, or an important scene, and post a screenshot of it. for this one, i just finished the volcanic portion of Mt. Aestuo, and am currently working on the greener part. the screenshot i posted is from the first map of the green part of Mt. Aestuo. Mt. Aestuo is a volcano near the center of the country of Arcatis, bordered by Silver Forest on 2 sides. The second dark orb is on this mountain, and clearly formed after the first was destroyed, since the area it affected is much smaller. don't worry about me giving out spoilers about my own game, i know what parts are important.

unfortunately, i haven't been very active lately, so i don't know who deserves it this month lol

sadly it's against the rules for marked to be MotM, and therefore impossible for him to be MotY :(

new screenshot

wow, so this is like OoT but with a darker story? like, if link failed to get the spiritual stones?

ok thanks guys

k thanks but it looks like it just fixes the call script command. what exactly is it supposed to do?

so then what is it? what is it waiting for? obviously something that will never happen

ok, so i have an event that, does this: there is a box, and if you press enter, it moves in the direction you are facing, and keeps going until it hits a wall. if it touches a certain tile, a switch is triggered. here's the problem. when i press enter, the box moves, but the player is frozen, as if there is still an event running. here's what i have

so here are my problems. 1. the offset of "lvl. 2" or whatever level you are, is messed up. changing the offset in the main menu screws it up a whole lot more everywhere else. 2. in the items and skills menus, i want the part where you chose what character to use stuff on, to be always visible at the bottom, and for the menu to scroll when i press the left and right arrow keys, instead of the up and down like it is now. 3. the status screen is messy, i need each character to have their own window, and for everything to be moved around so it all fits correctly. also, the name of the character shouldn't be under the character's face. 4. the equipment screen isn't updated until you exit. e.i if you have a wooden sword equipped, but change to an iron sword, it will still say wooden sword until you exit the menu. i also want the part that says what is equipped to say "weapon: sword" or something instead of just "sword" how do you change a screen to show the map as a background instead of the annoying black background? i want to do that for the shop here are the scripts so yea, that's it.

that looks like a piece of cloth glued to a sketchbook seriously i cant tell that it's a drawing. it would probably look less real irl lol

more character and area info added to OP

screenshots? is that what you mean? well if that's true, why don't you make an album in the gallery, or your own screenshot topic. i think there's one somewhere already, but i dont know where it is. you can also make a blog and post pics in that. plus, there's a handy search bar at the top of most pages. and any more questions you have about the forums should be posted here

added a name to the credits, a few new areas, and 2 new characters (one is actually an organization)

either you're back, or marked is messing with me...either way, welcome back emily...i guess
