You don't have any people events for your town. The houses look great. I've never could get god at making XP houses.

There are people events, for some odd reason, you just can't see them xD

 

Also, I've gathering and making different people. I always tire of seeing the same people anyways, so I thought my players would love to see some distinguish between towns :3

 

Ah, I was terrible (probably still am) up until three-two days ago. All I did was make test maps, test everything out, look at other maps and look at forests (which is really helpful). :)

Oh, thank you so much, Kaboth, but I've got FL Studio 9 :) I just don't know how to use it yet xD

you welcome ;b

[CrimsonInferno 35]

Update!

 

The first post has been edited massively! A clearer, more comprehensible description of the story, screenshots, credits, scripts and progress :)

 

Also, my first BETA demo will be done soon. I'm also gonna make some music using FL Studio 9 (...have to figure out how to use it though) so hopefully the game will be really original! :D

[nanou-gr 5]

well, keep it going! i believe it's gonna be really nice, and especially since it's all made by yourself:) you should feel really proud for your work:)

[CrimsonInferno 35]

Thanks, Nanou! I have a few teaser screenshots!

 

(yes, my mapper isn't very good. My BETAs will tell me how to do it better :>)

the cave map seems alright. the house has some small mistakes. if you give it a close look you'll definitely see them. other than that i see no problem. they seem interesting and not too crowded, which is something i really like. and i love the letters you have used! they seem so much like they're out of a fairytale:):):)

[CrimsonInferno 35]

Thank you again, Nanou! Could you point out the mistakes in the house? I haven't spotted them...

[nanou-gr 5]

well, you cant have a curtain hiding behind the fireplace! it's gonna catch fire. and you can't have a curtain stick on wooden columns. it's bad for the house (well, architecture freak speaking there:P...) and the 2 curtains in the middle would look way better if you gave them some space, separate them with just one tile and they;ll look fine!:) well... mostly that! it's pretty nice otherwise:)

[CrimsonInferno 35]

Ah, I'll fix them! The two smushed together though...There are windows like that xD (My house has one :P) I'll fix em all right now though! :D

[nanou-gr 5]

i know they do, but it looks so much better not to:P listen to the architect:P:P:P

[FranklinX 37]

Your mapping has really improved! You should make a trailer.

[CrimsonInferno 35]

Thanks, Rated! :33

 

I don't think my game is long enough for a trailer yet (How long are trailers?) :0 But how would I make one? Would I have to show story or features...?

 

Also, BETA testers that messaged me earlier, I'm done (eh) with my demo. I hope to hear how to improve my mapping, story, grammar, cheesy dialogue (?) and anything else! I only ask one thing -- please be nice. :)

 

Oh, there isn't music in much of the areas, because I'm making my own, hopefully, and I was gonna use RTP, but I didn't know what matched out...Oh, and my level balance may (most likely! lol) be off. If you know how to level it our, please share!

 

When you want to test it out, just give me a PM and I'll give ya the download :D

 

(remember its pretty short xD)

You, my friend, may need a mapper.

Me, your friend, is a mapper.

[CrimsonInferno 35]

How would that work? You mapping for me...? *Sorry, never done this before xD*

[Free To Play 3]

You could send me a copy of your game up to the most recent changes, then send me specs. on what you want done. Like a world map or something, and I could break it off into sections. It all depends on what you want me to do, I could map an entire town, or just a house.

 

After I'm done mapping what you want me to, (Let's say you give me a specification list) I'll save the thing, compress it, then send you a download link. You can either transfer your progress over to my version or you can transfer my map to your version.

[CrimsonInferno 35]

A lot has happened, even though I haven't made public view of it! I have some newly created music for the game, including important pieces!

 

My BETA testers informed me of a lot of things which I've been working hard to fix and make it better. I decided to restart the start of the game, but don't worry, nothing big had to be remade. As of yet, I can't word how the beginning should go, so that piece will be the last one to be fixed before the next demo release. Next thing I have to do, is remake the female character. I can make her so much better now and I have a change in clothes, something I think will make her character even better.

 

As for the game, I have made, edit and found lots of tilesets that have vastly improved what I can do, so that's great news. One of the tilesets I created is, in my opinion, very cool! So I hope everyone likes it when its released. (Though there are a few errors here and there, but I can fix that.) A two delay had gone on as I fell ill with a bad cold, but I'm feeling very better, so production can continue! :biggrin_002:

 

I only have a really small song preview, but hopefully you guys will like it either way. Sacred Watch, Black Moon (Prophecy) :)

I really love the face graphics. Any chance on you telling me the program you use? Or do you have somebody draw them for you? Or...

did you get them from a resource site?

[CrimsonInferno 35]

I generated them using "Celianna"'s face generator. You can find it here:

I almost lost my entire game for the third time this year. The capacitor and battery to my PC fried everything and I almost had to buy a new PC (switching harddrives wouldn't work). But my father fixed it, well, sorta. If I can get to finishing up my studies and clearing up some time I can work on this again. xD

 

I hope to bring updates soon, especially a certain character's remake.

[CrimsonInferno 35]

Ugh, I haven't updated in a while. It is a big project for a single person, but I haven't given up. Lately I've been attempting to sprite my resources as it is the only thing needed at the moment; a tree house system or a tileset of the inside of a tree, and some characters. The characters you can see in my art thread, unless my recent posts were deleted or something. lol I have eben working on the lighting as well. With kellessdees magical and beautiful script (I lovez you!) I am able to make my maps far more beautiful. Right now I'm working on giving lighting to all the maps so far and later, I will try and animate them!

 

Besides the graphical resources, I have been messing with my events. Before I lost my RMXP engine (I purchased a new one), it screwed up three major events and even though I could get the events to work in other projects, they refused to work in the Black Moon project piece, so I had to delete the entire map and recreate it to work in the new engine. I finally managed to fix that, and have moved onto to common events needed.

 

One of the common events was a form of "limit" attack, called "Purge". It acctivates during extreme low health and puts a new skill in into the skill menu that the user can use until he regains HP. So far, after a while meddling with it and killing off bugs or problems, I haven't encountered any problems with it. Another event I'm making for the game is a gaurd system event, and a large maze. I am pretty happy with what I haeve done with the game so far and have found and killed off any grammar problems or mess up with scripts and events.

 

Besides all of that, is the leveling system. I have no idea how to do it and have messed with it a bit, but the only way to improve that and the enemies is, I guess, through players, so I'm leaving that for later. But, on the subject of the leveling system, cam the enemies. I haven't figured out a way to set enemies to regions yet, but I'll figure something out.

 

I think that's pretty much it for now, and if anyone is curious, I have played tested the game and the BETA demo is nearly forty minutes long. I'm not entirely sure of how long demos should be, but I'm going to assume that is good enough?

 

Oh, and I also updated the main post with my new graphics and screenies.

 

P.S

The reason for lack of updates and whatnot is because I am working very hard in my studies (as well as learning Ruby!) work, but I haven't forgotten about RMing, this community and all my friends! I promise! I will finish this game! T.T

[Arkbennett 16]

Sounds like you've been running into all kinds of technical difficulties. Hope all is well.

If you need a Tester for your game, someone that can help critique it or something. I'm willing to help out.

Keep up the work.

[CrimsonInferno 35]

Yes, a lot of difficulties. A while back I used to have another working with me, but she's left the group because it was too much to do in her little free time. But I've managed to fix all of them so far. Keeping double backups on my HDD books really helped though.

 

And yes, I need someone exactly like that! It is the only way to improve, of course! I'll most likely make a heads up post about it when its near that part. :)

 

And thanks, I'll definitely keep it up! :D
