Star Wars: Knights of the New Republic

[StarBeamAlpha]

I think you should have Jar Jar in with a lightsabre in your game!

The demo is ready for your tortu_ I mean enjoyment.

It is short and bare minimum, but it is the foundation for what I hope one day will be a good game.  Its awful now, but it will get better.

Here it is>>

Umm...where do I start?

First of all, using RTP as battlers isn't so 'Jedi-ish'. You should make(or let someone make it for you) some jedi battlesets that match your characters. Same thing for the faceset.

Second, in the beginning there was no intro as in the normal 'star wars'. But I gotta say, the ship attack was nice but the only thing I was missing is that the ship moved. You saw just some stars and then a ship coming in front of it.

Third, once I stepped out of a room and my face was locked. I also find a chest with no switch. So I kept on getting those frag grenades(look in attachment for the picture. You can also see there that my face is locked!).

Fourth, when I arrived at the escapepods and talked to the man who was standing there, my computer was stuck! I selected that I and the previous guy I met stayed together then it was stuck.
So I couldn't play further then that, so I don't got anything more to say.

I may sound a little negative but I just want to help you improve your game.
But the pictures are ok, the battle animations are original from the real Star Wars just like the music so that's all fine.
One last thing, the Sith was a little bit to easy. And when he attacked he had a blue laser...?

1)Thank you for that,  I was trying to release the demo as quickly as possible so people would see that some work is actually getting done, I knew there would be hundreds of bugs, that I can now fix.  So I apreciate it when there pointed out.

2)  I was hoing to let you all get a feel for the gaming system rather than the graphics which WILL BE UPDATED, I promise, it just takes me alot of time to make battle graphics. But I would really like to know what you thought of the custimization, what areas are good which are lacking.  The menu for leveling up(again the menu graphics are bad, but what about the layout and playability)  The dialgue options, the star warsish feel, If you liked any of that if you think it could be alot better.


3)The roll up will be added as soon as I ind out the best way to make it.  


The demo will be updated soon, and hopefully it will be better.

[SilverBlade]

Well, I think the idea is ok, just as the menu system. But like you say, the menu could look better.

I got one thing to say that I forgot. I noticed that you still use an RTP titlescreen, do you want me to make one?

[SilverBlade]

Well, here's a title screen. You may decide if you use it or not, but it's anyway much better then the RTP


Edit: Aw man!!! I forgot to add 'New'...*sigh*

[Moosetroop11]

Yeah I assume you'll update the rtp, but your mapping is bothering me. Simple things like walls are left out. it's a pity because other than that it does seem very KOTORish (I haven't played it yet though).

I hope you'll do the light/dark system well. That's vital.

[SilverBlade]

There, now it's 'Knights of the New Republic'.
I hope you like it!

[DarkLordYoda]

whoa that is an amazing title, thanks,

all the graphics will be upgraded I promise, but this demo was to show you the skelaton, the lightside darkside variables are there they just aren't in any events yet.  Same with influence of characters, you can gain influence with corik by saying that he should be the one in the escape pod with you instead of luke so the variables are there they just need added to play.

Suggestion Box:

What planets would you like to see?
Do you have any ideas for feats or force powers?
Any characters you would like to have a cameo appearance?



EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUGS FIXED:

Infinite Items, Chest Box
RTP TITLE UPDATED:  Thanks to silverblade
Sith Harder, and red animation for lightsaber, the blade is still white but the target flashes red.
WALLS ADDED, to some maps that previoulsy had just ceilings.

NMN! NEW-MOVIE NOOB ALRT!

[neb87]

umm.
work on the mappin
and sith boss way 2 easy
both of my guys had 350 hp

[plightofthepureblood]

Maps need some prucing.....DOnt be afraid of Lighting effects...and room ornaments....

I want to see more droids.

I know youre going to try to stray from the rtp and thats good.

I quite like the music.

The Cutscenes are sweet, but you need to find a way to dumb down the color......I think the palletes for the images you are using for backgrounds are not optimized for the images youre importing..
The cutscenes are good but could be made waaaaay better if edited.


Dont rush to make the demo any longer yet.....rush to improve the presentation.

And the CMS needs to be spiffed......Try using a panorama.

[Noobpwner]

you8r game gives me a sudden urge to make a star wars game with a abs

[SilverBlade]

I played your new demo. Three things are still bothering me:
1) The BattleChars RTP's(but we already knew that and I know you're working on it )
2)I wanted to play a girl once to see if there weren't any errors there...I found a lot! Her face is locked from the beginning and when she puts her cloths on, she still isn't dressed...?
3)The panorama's of the stars! I realy don't like it. So I got a tip:
Import my 'Stars' panorama that I attached. Then go to the map properties of 'Opening/Cutscene', the map where the ship gets attacked. Select my panorama(it's actually the Stars panorama from RMXP   ). Then tick the boxes 'Horizontal Scroll', 'Auto Scroll', 'Vertical Scroll', 'Auto Scroll'. Below the Auto Scroll of Horizontal scroll, put the number: '-2'. Below the Auto Scroll of Vertical scroll, put the number: '2'.

Now replay your game and you will see it looks much better when the ship is realy moving .

--------------------------------
Besides all that, I think the flight with the Escape Pods was very well done, it looked very professionel. Keep up the good work and in no time will your game be awesome!
