The Ghosts of Heart Lake

[I Have a Sandwich]

I couldn't get very far when I demo'd it last night, but it was when he was leaving the house at first talkin to his buddy.

kk, I'll take a look at that. Anyone else give the demo a go?

[RPG LORD]

I'll do it.

Here's a preview to the class changing system.

The wolf has job classes too?

[drenrin2120]

Sure, why not? They're more element/skill-type assignments than they are jobs. Plus, the wolf is pretty damn smart.

[drenrin2120]

Well, I've been working on the class/job system, and it's coming along great. The CMS is coded and works nicely but I can't go any farther until all the skills are made, but I only have 4 more classes to do so no complaints. The reason this is is when you change a class it changes your battle chara too, pretty gay but w/e, so for every class I need to make a class with a matching battle chara. So, 11 classes times 9 characters equals 99 classes. If I made the skills after I copy pasted all those classes, I'd have to go through all of them and plug in the skills. This way is much easier and efficient.

So, programming now, then back to making the actual game.

Ooh!  I'm gonna try the demo!  ^__^  It has a wolf in it, and that makes it a million times cooler regardless of any other factor.  

EDIT:  First off, love the intro.  ^_^  You seem to really have a grasp on what looks "natural" for an RPG versus what looks, well, amateurish.  Very nice.  ^^

Also, yes, right after Mowser tells the guards to leave, he calls him Samson, and then there are other places in the demo where they call him Samson as well.  The old house, for one.  And I also think a guard calls him that in Juniper as well.

Another thing, if you return to the church after Gambit's funeral, you'll walk forward and kneel just as you did before, and then it cuts to him outside at the grave, and then his walking speed is slowed.  I imagine you forgot to flick a switch somewhere in there, so you might wanna check that out.

I like the use of the chipsets, and I especially liked the underwater scenery in the first little town, with the fish and the crabs and whatnot.  I'm actually going to be more conscious to details like that for my own game.    

All in all, I really enjoyed the demo.  Keep up the good work!

Thanks, the woodlands was to add a bit of adventure I guess. If you looked hard enough, there were different areas depending on where you enter, some places have chests, some don't. If you follow the path you can go deeper, but those aren't done yet. Some parts may seems pointless, but have a mjor point later on. And as for the cliff, if you keep going and can make it past the monsters you'll see the part in the intro where you character was was at the end of Wizen Heights.

[Noobpwner]

Oh on the cliff I meant I was stuck, like I could see the begining but I couldnt move. As in the beggining I mean the Port.

[drenrin2120]

Oh, well that's interesting. I'll have to take a look at that. lol
