Furious Angels

[Trevlac]

Sprite of the Mr.Mister boss created.



I will do the other poses later. It's a from-scratch sprite so It'll take a long time.

Needs to be more metal.

[Trevlac]

It's metal enough. MrMister will cut your head off for such blasphemy.

[ZeroKirbyX]

I dunno... Maaayybeeee.

I have the distinct urge to reply the demo now... Damn you. >.<

I'm practicly remodelling the entire game from the first demo.

* Save bug semi-fixed. The game still crashes at save but will load without crashing.

* Scary atmosphere and better music.

* Added party member.

* Added ability to defend from monster attacks.

* Fixed magic. It is now usable. However, materia still doesn't work 100%.

* Difficulty system added. Nooblet/Cakewalk/Normal/Bring it on/Nightmare. Nightmare is unlockable - not selectable.

* Monsters are stronger. Bosses are harder and now use magic.

*Storyline added. Including introduction with voice.

*Most metal feature of the entire game: Dynamic shadows. I'm posting 2 screenshots for it:
Moonlight Screenshot
Dynamic Windowlight

* Battle HUD is cooler and less retarded looking.

* Changed font so it looks less gay. Also, text is letter-by-letter for a dramatic feel.

* Enemies now have an "intelligence" factor. Some are so stupid (like ghosts and zombies) you can walk up behind them unnoticed. Others (like bees) will notice you from 5 squares away regardless of your direction. Also, some enemies chase you ruthlessly while others have low attention spans.

* Puzzle rooms. (These are no ordinary puzzle rooms, usually there's a catch like a powerful set of enemies are chasing you as you try to move boulders the right way. So puzzles mixed with anxiety attacks.)

* More Triple Triad players

* NPC's say different things when you talk to them. Instead of the same old "The king waits for you in the throne room" bullsheiza. Also, different dialogues can happen with NPC's depending on who is in the party.

Will be adding more soon for the next demo. I expect a new demo to be ready within a week.

Looking good.

from what I played in the review, it was very fun.  has alot of potential, I just suggest changing the intro text. every other word was **** or damn.     that was my biggest prob so far, well, that and saving and loading xD

[ZeroKirbyX]

Dude. That's so awesomely metal. My only advice is to make the shadows more blurry.

I already changed it. Not because I give a cheese noodle what you think about the words I used; because it didn't flow with the atmosphere of the game. These are real words that are used in the real world and I'm not sheltering my players from it. Thanks for the feedback ^_^

Not possible. The shadows are scripted. They're just semitransparent versions of the sprites. RMXP and Ruby have no "blur" method.

I'm not able to play it though from what I've seen would really want to...

The whole **** and damn thing....it brings more meaning...I'm all for the no cenesorship...some npc getting all pissed off because the pc called it a butthead (or some other subsitution) doesnt have the same effect...but yea I'd understand if it doesnt go with the game's atmosphere as well...

Yeah, I knew they were scripted but I figured they were separate images which you could blur. Awesome system anyways.

It is possible.


Instead of using the lightsource setup,

sxxx
xxxx
xxxx

s = source
x = empty space

Use

ssxx
sxxx
xxxx

or

sssx
ssxx
sxxx

It works really well.
