MONSTRUCTS: Makers and Mayhem

[miguel1 17]

Grand City WIP feels like it needs something...

 

 

Well dude, i'm no pro but i think you sould add more houses.

You sould also spread more the trees, don't make them so simetrical ( sorry for my english XD), make them more ramdom. And put more grass.

Hope it helped ;)

 

Edit: Also if you want to have it split into three districts business, park and residential. you sould at least make a bigger map, or make it like the entrence to the city and then build three more maps ( which will the districts)

Like in FF7, where you had sectors

maybe i should've explained it better. this map is for the business districtthe two others are gonna be of the res and park districts

Ah that makes sense :P

[darkcieran 1]

here's my new Title Screen. How is it?

[zane203 8]

lol, i can try to make you an even better title if you want me to.

 

all you need to do is supply me with these:

 

-Font

-Images you would like in the picture

-A description of what you want it to look like

-overall theme IE: Dark, Light, Mature, or kiddie

 

=] i will do it just to be in your credits ^_^

[darkcieran 1]

@ Zane. You can find the images in the first page of this thread. you can use whatever font you want. maybe a kiddie theme would be great

[miguel1 17]

I actually like it! :)

It's simple, funny and like those little monsters a lot! :P

good work!

actually i liked that part the best. i think it gives it a saturday morning cartoonish feel to it.

That title needs to be a lot less random, and it needs to reflect the storyline of your game.

 

Also, it would be nicer if 'twere lot simpler. Consider using the skip title screen script so you can add other effects to your title, and add more options if you like.

 

Example of a simpler titlescreen:

 

 

I would make you one, but I'm way too busy.

[darkcieran 1]

thanks for the tip but i'll leave it as is. i think it gives off a fun vibe

[darkcieran 1]

Hey folks! I know it's been awhile since i've last posted here but I've been really busy with this game and I'm almost done! The storyline is finished; now I'm busy with the graphics(mainly battlers and background and other stuff). here's a look what I did so far.

 

This is the Job Center where your Monstructs can do jobs for folks.

 

Burrowwide Mines. Lots of goodies here.

 

There's scares aplenty in the Forsaken Ruins.

 

This is a preview of what you'll face if you take on one of the three side quests.

 

The Cauldron - Where the final battle is waiting...

 

New Monstructs

 

These are some of Initate Ranked Monstructs you'll be able to make.

 

Lithograph(I know it looks like a thwomp!)

 

Flamesword

 

Hydrofoil

 

Spinnercane

 

Heliorb

 

Night Hood

 

Powerpole

 

Silver Bullet

 

Dominopal

 

Well, that's it for now. just wanted to let you know this isn't. Thanks Again.!

[FranklinX 37]

It's great that your game is almost done. I do think your maps can use more objects. They are still a bit empty.

[darkcieran 1]

hey guys. just wanted to say that although goin has been abit slow, progress is still being made for this game. i've FINALLY finished the last set of Monstructs. these are the Fusions and Enhancements(created by either fusing two or more monstructs/ equipping a monstruct with an accessory).

 

Warrior Gorgon

 

Winged Fireswordsman

 

Wandering Monk

 

Wave Dancer

 

Thor

 

Tzitzimitl

 

Son Goku

 

Trikaratops

 

ShininGarou

 

Well that's it for now. will show more stuff soon.

[zane203 8]

sweet, still cant wait on the actual game dude. but ya might wanna keep some sets a secret xD they look pwnage and i hope they're only mid-way monstructs =o

 

i die for legendary things in games xD

[darkcieran 1]

Thanks, zane. for awhile i thought s folks had lost interest in this(my fault i guess). all totalled i've shown about 45 Monstructs in this thread. the official count of all Monstructs that CAN be made is 225. so you'll have plenty to keep you occupied along with the three side quest i made. i'd LIKE to have PvP in this game so you can battle your creations againts other, but i need a partner to help out.

[zane203 8]

sorry dude, im busy with a biggy of my own =/

 

but i have been looking into a server like concept though. I plan on dissecting Blizz online system to connect it to a C# self-made server. my game itself isnt online, but it'll be under a "Planet Zen" gaming server so players can send mail and check awards. and also get msgs from CZZC staff.

 

basically its a virtual console with a network kinda like PSN lol.

 

hopefully this can give you some idea -- if you've not already started =] ^_^ i will be keeping tabs on your game man.

[Kiriashi 117]

It's great that your making progress darkcerian! I'm looking forward to the game.

[darkcieran 1]

thanks for stoppin by kiriashi. it's taking me awhile because i have to share this comp, but once i get soem extra memory. i'll be able to get more work done on it.

[Random_Guy5507 0]

Wow I can't believe this game is almost finished  :blink:

 

But I have a little problem some of your maps are a little empty,you now needs more detail :rolleyes:

 

but overall its different from all I have encountered in the Internet...

 

I'm looking Forward the release  :alright:

 

 

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

You sir, are a EPIC person. Good maps, good storyline, and good Monstructs ^^

[Kiriashi 117]

I'm moar epic though right? ^_^

 

I agree with that one random dude. Your maps need a bit more content.

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

Just a bit Kiriashi ^^

[darkcieran 1]

thanks for thr support and comments guys. i'll go back through the maps and see if i can add more things here and there to make them better.

 

as way of saying thank you, here are some backgrounds for ya. hope ya like 'em:

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

Cool!

[darkcieran 1]

Hey folks i know its been awhile since I've last said anything, so i thought i'd show off a new image for you all.

 

this is one of the main bad guys of the game. His name's Dessecado, the spirit of the desert.

What do you guys think?

 

oh as a side note, i wanted to give you guys a little inside info. When you go into battle, you WILL NOT be able to access your item bag!

don't worry, i've come up with a way around this that will give the game a more interesting twist.

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

That looks very nice. I'm still very interested in your game. Hope it lives up to the hype. ^>^

[darkcieran 1]

thanks for all the support and thought on this project folks. i want to show off some more things i've done and ask for some help from you you all.

 

first the graphics

 

Randumby

This lil fella gives you random loot when you beat it.(in all honesty i had no idea how to give the player certain item and this was my solution)

 

Dragon

Just a dragon you fight in Skyreach Mountains.

 

And two more bosses for your viewing consideration....

 

Bones the Jailer

This guy is generally just creepy and has some freaky attacks too.

 

Automaton Knight

A general damage sponge, but can really dish it out in return.

Finally, I have come to a rather sticky wicket as it were. In the rare moments I get to relax, I've been playing an old SNES game called Rudra no Hihou(Treasure of the Rudra) and I saw how they did their magic system. It got me thinking about making the skill aquisition system.

 

I'm not too fond of the way you get them by leveling up. but i've kinda been leaning towards a reworked version of the Rudra style. (ie the hero reaches a certain and learns a certain word that unlocks a skill)

 

My question is what kinda suggestions do you guys have any other ideas ? i wanna stay away from the whole TM/HM like in pokemon.

 

feel free to offer your thoughts...

 

T.I.A.

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

I like bones. Looks rad. And I have never played that game. I'll look at it and see what I think! Great progress so far. Any demo release date?

[darkcieran 1]

I wanna give a date but i wanna wait til i get the battle system and skills done first(i haven't even started on those yet[man i suck :sweatdrop: ]). i think i 've found an interesting idea that will solve my problem

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

Ok, I'm keeping an eye on this! :alright:
