Ballade 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) 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. Weapon: Model A Special Attack: Magma Bazooka Screenshots Demo For the Demo, Click Here *Please note that the size of the actual game will be larger than that of the demo* Edited October 13, 2010 by Ballade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ballade 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2010 Whoa nice screens, never seen that before. I tried my hand at a sidescoller before and couldnt grasp how to do the maps. 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FranklinX 37 Report post Posted August 25, 2010 I see you are using some MegaMan sprites. The story is interesting. How about adding some more character information? What script are you using for this game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted August 25, 2010 I couldn't listen to the music.. :< We have an MP3 player BBCode you know. The game sounds pretty cool. I suggest you add a little more obstacles of some sort in the map. I can draw Your map with a few characters: ________________ / \ | | | Background | | | |________________| |________________| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted August 25, 2010 kljvobp980i-012[pl,mlk'[03o*#*$)_{@NKn <--- Those are all characters. Your maps do not have enough detail. They're just straight lines of ground to walk on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ballade 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2010 Of course thats not what im gonna use when im done, I'm still working but theres virtually NOTHING else to add to it. I see you are using some MegaMan sprites. The story is interesting. How about adding some more character information? What script are you using for this game? Whoops, didnt see this. Im using XAS, and an AMS so far. And I'll try to add more info on the characters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted August 28, 2010 There's a bit too much L337 speak going on in this thread. Let's try to keep it serious guys. Also Ballade, please try not to double post when it isn't necessary. There is an edit button at the bottom right of all your posts. As for the title screen. It looks cool. I reccomend making the black edges of the words a little smoooooooother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broken Messiah 20 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 Umm excuse me if this is answered but are those custom sprites? Is there a template for them available? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ballade 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 No, there from Draglade,Draglade2,Megaman and Bass, and Megaman 8. I just use a character template. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broken Messiah 20 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 What template? I really curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FranklinX 37 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 I don't like the new title screen. It does not look appealing because the heading is not very smooth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ballade 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 What template? I really curious. Comes with XAS, its in the character section of the graphics. I don't like the new title screen. It does not look appealing because the heading is not very smooth. 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. I think he knows this now. xD But yeah, all title screens have stages. You just gotta keep changing it 'till it is epic. Yea, but the last one felt pretty default. I like using custom graphics a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 You should save the PSD of your images so that you can change things later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ballade 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
