Post by: Vidian on February 23, 2008, 04:29:14 AM: I really love some of the custom Graphics. The one screen you provided made me want to play this game, I love your boat.

Post by: Dominicy on February 23, 2008, 04:52:16 PM: I was hoping for an ABS, but this works.
Title:
Post by: Ben on February 23, 2008, 04:55:58 PM: i guess there is sort of an abs elemtent. Aside from the world map, there are no random encounters.

Enemy sprites charge you on screen and on touch you battle. This is for stealthz

Post by: Vidian on February 24, 2008, 04:04:09 AM: Is that blue square in your DFS screen there in the game??
What is it o.o

and if you need any help with monster graphics or even battle animations I'm sure I could whip up something, It doesn't look too hard :D
Title:
Post by: Ben on February 24, 2008, 06:09:34 AM: DOWNLOAD DEMO V 1.0 HERE (http://www.mediafire.com/?fzdoznjdhdv)

Any help i can get on monsters, Sprites Animations would be grand. It whole thing is really simple and fun to make graphics for
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 24, 2008, 06:16:00 AM: Amazingly generic.

I love it.
Title:
Post by: Ben on February 24, 2008, 06:17:49 AM: yeah...its unbelievably fun to make.
*cough everyone make me stuff for this game cough*
Title:
Post by: MrMister on February 24, 2008, 07:34:00 AM: a roguelike system would probably work better for this game
it looks kinda cool tho, some stuff is resized poorly which you should fix asap
Title:
Post by: Prpl_Mage on February 24, 2008, 08:43:25 AM: Well, potions didn't work on the party... Had some hard times getting through the demo.

And the goblin event in the forest bugged twice for me when I moved.
Oh yeah, it says that the mysterious key costs 25 but it actually costs 75.

I love it badly otherwise. Some catchier tunes perhaps.

Edit: Was that intro supposed to be in the demo? 'Cuz the party starting position was at the world map.
Title:
Post by: Ben on February 24, 2008, 02:45:00 PM: Mistermister roguelike....explain plz. interested

fixing graphics bugs, tile passability and potions today

Need to find better music still. this was just a very bare bones demo, to give a feel of the graphics

thanks for the bugs all. I will fix em up

(i cant believe there was so much i missed)
Title:
Post by: Dominicy on February 24, 2008, 06:20:11 PM: Castle of the Winds (http://lkbm.ecritters.biz/cotw/download.html). That's the perfect example of a roguelike... I think. I dunno, it's the only roguelike I ever played. Play it alittle and you'll get what a roguelike is.

Easier to be 'experienced' than explained and all those lazy excuses xD
Title:
Post by: coasterkrazy on February 24, 2008, 09:15:02 PM: Oh wow... I somehow managed to post in the wrong thread... I posted this in Grandy's "Charas's slower" thread by accident. :p

Haha cool. This is like something I would make... or am making... Downloading now.

EDIT: Nice! I like its even-older-than-NES style. I can see now why you need that kind of music and sound effects. Well, I'm always here. PM me if you want something specific.
Title:
Post by: Bluhman on February 24, 2008, 11:27:05 PM: I can explain rougelikes perfectly; I've played several:

Basically, a rougelike is where you are a solo hero. Most of the time, you get to design what kind of hero you want, a la table top RPG, but only one character. Anyways, most rougelikes take place with you starting right out in a dungeon with a set of presupplied equipment. Castle of the Winds has you start in a town, but it doesn't really offer any big services or help or that much.

Roguelikes are sorta like action RPG's, except they're largely turnbased in most cases. Each move you take requires a turn, and you attack enemies by bumping into them, or using some button to shoot them with magic or bows and stuff. Another feature was that most roguelikes offered randomly generated dungeons, with random monsters, loot, and traps. Personally, I'd think that a rougelike would be difficult to accomplish in RM2k3, but if you got the skills, then I'm sure it could be possible.

Post by: Ben on February 24, 2008, 11:34:51 PM: It does sound sweet, but if i implement something like that, then it wouldnt be until After I have the rest of the game systems working. Its something to think about i guess

A good one to try would be "nethack" to see if you like

Post by: Red Giant on February 25, 2008, 04:00:35 PM: I am in love with the graphical style. Nice work there.

If I had a penny for every time I died in Nethack I COULD BUY AND SELL YOU ALL NINETY TIMES OVER.
Title:
Post by: Dragonium on February 25, 2008, 10:15:27 PM: Nethack should be called Death Game.

This looks pretty awesome.

Also, MrMister and Red posting in the same thread on the same day? I'm going to go and get in my apocalypse shelter.

Post by: Ben on February 28, 2008, 07:43:32 AM: a new screen of the shooting minigame.

Post by: Dominicy on February 28, 2008, 04:45:27 PM: ...*Decides to just ignore whatever the hell that means XD*

Seriously though, dude, for possibly the first time ever, I fully want to help out with this.

COUGHMAKEMEDOSOMETHINGFORTHISPLZCOUGH
Title:
Post by: Ben on February 28, 2008, 04:49:28 PM: I need:

Monster sprites / Images.

Or battle anims.

NPC Faces

SFX

Take you pick good buddy!

Help is grand.
And remember, the less detailed the better
Title:
Post by: Dominicy on February 28, 2008, 04:58:42 PM: I never was good at finding sound effects, but NPC faces and monster sprites are mine. If someone tries to steal them, kill them. If someone so much as has a face near you, kill them.

Unless I throw my computer out a window because I suck at making undetailed face sets.

Any specific style or can I stick with the style I'm good at?
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 28, 2008, 07:25:12 PM: Got one. It's a dragon.

I know, I know, it's a little heavy on the detail, but work with me!
Title:
Post by: Dominicy on February 28, 2008, 07:33:51 PM: *Blink blink*

...Did I miss something? o_o

Post by: Ben on February 28, 2008, 09:22:11 PM: I get it.... A funny guy.

You know what we do to funny guys around here....

*puts on pacman suit*
Title:
Post by: Prpl_Mage on February 28, 2008, 10:27:15 PM: What exactly do you need then Gem?
I could do some sprites and such for you if you want me to. It can't take that much time after all.
Title:
Post by: Dominicy on February 28, 2008, 10:43:36 PM: Next time you're on MSN I'll give you the stuff I have so far.
Title:
Post by: Ben on February 29, 2008, 12:36:18 AM: I need whatever people are willing to take the time to do. I have the bare essentials. And thats about it.

Monster Sprites or images....
NPCs,
Faces,
Banims,
Targets for the shooting game

SFX Music, Anything.

Credit of course will be given...

Hell if you want to make a sprite of yourself for the game, go ahead.

Human enemies

Panoramas, Battle backgrounds...you name it, Ill find a use for it...

As long as the details and colour are minimal
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 29, 2008, 01:14:15 AM: But... Mine was brilliant...
Title:
Post by: Ben on February 29, 2008, 02:42:41 AM: archem, dammit, just make me a monster graphic of your avy in simple 8 bit. Do it or die. And by die, I mean Mortal, AND existential

Post by: Ben on March 01, 2008, 06:51:58 AM: ALSO: cameo
Title:
Post by: Archem on March 01, 2008, 07:14:49 AM: Oh? I couldn't tell. Would it have something to do with that purplish mage-like fellow? Or is it more likely that odd, red-shirted man at the door?
Title:
Post by: Red Fox on March 01, 2008, 11:37:17 AM: The game looks awesome.

Heres a slime and devil charset that you can use if you want.
Title:
Post by: Ben on March 01, 2008, 05:36:34 PM: those dudes are radical! thanks red!
Title:
Post by: Dominicy on March 01, 2008, 05:36:35 PM: Oh it's just too tempting to make monster characters of those. *Runs away*

Glad you liked them cause I might make more later. Anyway I updated them a little. Changed the slime sidewalk animation and made some small changes to the devils walking animations.

Edit: Forget the attachment (had forgotten a pixel on the devil that just made him look strange). Use this instead.
Title:
Post by: Ben on March 01, 2008, 07:12:25 PM: lol. dammit, right after i edited them and imported them lol
Title:
Post by: Red Fox on March 01, 2008, 07:29:24 PM: Haha sorry about that, could probably have uploaded them a couple of hours earlier.
Title:
Post by: Ben on March 01, 2008, 08:17:08 PM: lol no worries
Title:
Post by: Dominicy on March 02, 2008, 07:35:11 PM: Revamped squirrel.

Goblin with a sword.

Goblin with a bow.

Red Fox' Slime, monsterfied.

Red Fox' Imp, monsterfied.

Imp king.

Post by: Ben on March 02, 2008, 07:37:07 PM: Nice
Title:
Post by: Dominicy on March 05, 2008, 06:36:45 AM: D'ah **** stupid photobucket saved them as JPEG >.> I'll give them to you in MSN, then. When I get to it, any way XD
Title:
Post by: Moosetroop11 on March 05, 2008, 12:09:12 PM: Finally got round to downloading Demo 1. I'll play it soon...
Title:
Post by: Moosetroop11 on March 05, 2008, 12:34:38 PM: Okay dude. The graphics and text and ideas are amazing. However:

Some of the town teleports teleport you to the wrong places

You can't use potions

you can't save in towns like it says you can. I can't seem to find anywhere I can save >.>

You can't stay at the inn

A lot of your charsets aren't 'fixed graphic' so they change when you speak to them

All the other faults just add charm, but I kinda need to save XD

EDIT: By the looks of things you know about most of these
Title:
Post by: Ben on March 05, 2008, 04:34:35 PM: MT11, those bugs are all fixed. Ive added new stuff. A FPS style mini game...
I just have to finish the dungeon tower thing, and a boss for it, and then Ill be releasing a new. way-less-buggy version of this, with more stuff...

Saving still isnt fixed but Ill get to it....
Title:
Post by: Ben on March 07, 2008, 07:20:50 AM: new demo

with rtp CLICK HERE (http://www.mediafire.com/?902cz4nr4ym)

without rtp (much smaller) CLICK HERE (http://www.mediafire.com/?uwjfpnxxmzl)

PLEASE READ FIRST POST REGARDING TESTERS

Known bugs:

I need to fix a teleport event or two in the towns. nothing major

the shooting minigame seems to have some event overlapping bugs and score counting glitches (especially when played more then once)

not so much a bug, but there is no means to revive fallen players yet. Im getting to it, I promise

Prplmage turns into a brown shitty looking douche when he joins your party. I just havent made his b-set yet

I still have yet to fix the inns

theres a green glitch in the archery/training room of the castle....it gives you something i forget what i think EXP

TIPS:
Save your HP containers for after training. When your HP hits a certain point, the dude wont train you anymore. Eventually there will be trainers in every town, but for now, theres just the starter level one

Buy lots of potions

Post by: Drakiyth on March 07, 2008, 12:12:53 PM: Had a little free time since the classes for IoH is done. Decided to cook up a monster for your game. I call it the "Meat Reaver" lol

Took me about 15 minutes to make or so.

Looks to good. It's not pixelized enough to fit into the graphics from my point of view.
Title:
Post by: Drakiyth on March 07, 2008, 02:03:37 PM: Doh, I guess I did put to much detail lol. RoA usable?
Title:
Post by: Ben on March 07, 2008, 05:42:29 PM: I can still use it. Ill tweak it slightly, If you dont mind drak....
Its sweet, and i appreciate it

Title:
Post by: Ben on March 10, 2008, 01:45:33 AM: did anyone give it another runthrough?
Title:
Post by: HobomasterXXX on March 10, 2008, 03:19:30 AM: Theres a resource missing. I got to the door on the top of the tower, saw the little cutscene (somethin about killing the mage if he got in the way) and it said "THe file SIMPSONS is missing"
Title:
Post by: Ben on March 10, 2008, 03:33:27 AM: AH CRAP.

It wont run unless you download the "with rtp" verson then. dammit

I was using a blank charset by that name.

If you were to implant one of those, it would probably work
