Carpe Diem: The Living Flame

[Linkforce]

Thanks for all the comments and constructive critisism guys.  I'll be sure to put it all to use.  Anyways though, I FINALLY got Skylars B-chara.  Which means, for the first time ever, BATTLE SCREENS!!!!!!

Some might've been taken badly, but just bear with it.  
HUGE, MEGA HU?GE KUDOS TO INSANEJP FOR THE SKYLAR B-CHARA!!!
AND XJERICHO FOR THE HARU B-CHARA!!!


First battle in the game.


A battle in Serpent Cave.


Skylar casting Thunder Smoke in the first Boss Battle.

And as always, Enjoy!

Battle screens...they are interesting since they differ depending on the environment or position on the map. Pretty inovative tho it has been done before....but everything has already been done so its ok.

InsaneJP did marvelous work, as always. It'll be a change to fight as a visible person now, heh.

[InsaneJP]

yea im likin the screenshots oh yeaa thats my workk up there!...looks good from here...battlle system looks good how it is too...keep it up

En... The B-chars look great. Insane and Jericho did great with them. In honesty, I don't like the backgrounds, but other then that it looks good. I don't think I've seen some of those animations used before, or if I have, not in that color, so that's a good point in my book.

Odds are, someone is going to ask why I dislike the backgrounds, so I'll say it now. I just like that it looks weird having a bird's eye view background with a person veiw for the battle enemies and spirits. But, that's just my personal opinion.

[Linkforce]

Thanks for the comments guys.  

And Meiscool....you always have at least one problem with everything so, meh.

[xJericho]

yeah it looks good,... but you really have to work on the bg's


but don't care about,... it's just my opinion

Hahahahahahaha!
I dont mean to flame (as I know meiscool will take it that way), but that is soo right XD

yeah, I agree with xJericho, the battle backgrounds are too bland (although, I like the way the boss one is used).
If you need some map help, lemme know.

[Meiscool-2]

Heh. God, I love you guys.

Anyways, as you can see, I'm not the only one that dislikes the backgrounds. In fact, I have my gay *** cousin over at the moment and he thinks that they 'look to blank', exact quote.

Saying that I have a problem doesn't mean something is wrong with me Linky, that just means I expect more from your game.

Battle screens look awesome!

Keep it up

And I love you too, but.

Why are you commenting on everything he does? and then you go and do exactualy the same thing in your games. Also you seem to compare  everything with FF, FF was made by really advance people with great tools 'n' stuff. And to make FF on the RM2K/3 would be VERY hard. So don't compair it to that.
"It'll be like compairing FF1 to FF7"

And I was trying to do that without flaming.

It's nice to give people advice, this is what i'm doing now, but please (my advice) Don't go over the top on it, sometimes it's nice to congratuate people on there good work instead of pointing out the errors.

[Meiscool-2]

Nope, didn't see it as a flame. But, I will comment on it:
WTF? For the last time, I'm saying that he's using to many chipset from to many different games. Then, everyone goes and says I do that, which is not true. I only use mac and blue. If you're basing this on what Leon has said, bare in mind that he hasn't been to my game forum either as you most likly haven't if you would make that assumption. As to comparing everything with FF, I'm not one of those guys who has played each and every game. FF is just the most poppular and easiest of the games that I have played to make comparisions with. I mean, almost every gamer as player at least one of them. Plus, I don't use the game to compare, but things in it, like in the example here, the chipsets.

And, I do congradulate people, when they do something good that is. So far Linkforce hasn't seemed to have done anything worthwhile. I'm begining to see what Ace was talking about on the last forum. EVERYTHING he does seems so half-assed at the moment. The only things that seem to be good are the things people make for him, like the battle charas for example. I mean, can you honestly tell me that you would like to play a game that has backgrounds as boring and empty as he does in his serpent cave example, or his first battle example? Or, would you like to play a game that's focused more on movies and cutsceens then actual game-play? It'd be like freakin XenoSaga, but without all the cool combos and inavative battle system. It's just begining to look more and more lazily put together.

Ok, in your last few posts all i have seen is you saying how they are unlike or like FF. comparing to FF. also, I havent played ANY FF games. And I am a gamer. FF may be one of the most known RPG, but that doesent mean you have to compaire everything to it.

So your saying, you don't compare the game, you compare the things in the game.

Look, I'll stop now before I do start flaming. And Sorry to Linkforce for intrupting his topic.

xJericho & Leon: Thanks.  Only that one really needs work, so itsnot that big a deal.  Ill fix it.

White Dwarf: You know, you're absolutely right.  Everything he comments on is compared to FF.

Meiscool: Why must you have a problem with everything.  Ok, so one backround is bad.  Ill fix it.  Simple as that.  If your expecting a game with the caliber of an FF, then turn around now.  Dont expect perfection from me or anyone else.  I understand you're the best game maker, and everything you make is so much better, but you need to stop looking at everything at such a high level.  Heres proof.  You think the first backround looks bad?!  Wow.....theres my proof right there.

Please no flaming.

Meiscool is at it again, huh? Well, I think your game still looks as good as it always did. I think just the fact that people like us who don't professionally make games (at least, not yet) have rm and do make games that would be considered marvelous, professional games just over 10 years ago is amazing enough. And when we do make games like these, they are great. In other words, I agree it's stupid to compare it to FF.

Anyway, looks awesome linkforce, and good job to those who made those bcharas, they look awesome!

[Meiscool-2]

ummm.... Like, where in this thread have I compared things to FF more then once?

Edit- And, if you guys really think it's that bad to use the comparision mixing FF4 with FF6, then think of it more like mixing Simson cartoons with Fullmetal Alchemist anime. Does that make you happier?
