Looking good. There were a lot of these 'sprite battlechars, facemaker faces and chipset backgrounds' games around at one point, but you've really exploited the style, and all the monsters and everything look great.

It's a very easy style for someone like me who sucks with pixels. So I figured, why not just take it and run with it? I owe a lot to InsaneJP for his ideas and templates and just getting me off the ground. If not for him, the graphics in this game would be far less aesthetically pleasing. Also, have to admit some credit to Meiscool for guiding me in the right direction when it comes to mapping.

As far as demo length goes, if I had to guess I'd say anywhere from 6 to 12 hours? I really don't know, it's hard for me to tell since I know where every secret is, every treasure chest, what's coming up next, what to prepare for, etc. There's a lot of unknowns right now, all I know is I've played through it too many times and I need an outside opinion.

THUS: I announce I'll release the demo this Friday! Maybe earlier if I get antsy.

Huzzah for a demo!  Lol, but take it from me, someone who has rushed things and ended up phaylingz <- (failing XD).  Just take your time and release it when you're ready.    I look forward to it!

I posted the download link on the first page under a new category. Unpacked, total size is almost 22 MB. And there's even a cool little custom icon! So, if that ain't reason enough to download and play this demo, then I don't know what is! Anyone that plays through it and wants to leave their review on this page is more than welcome. I'm gonna actually encourage it. Have fun, and if there are any crippling bugs I missed, let me know ASAP.

Hell, I'll post the link here too... NEW LINK: Apathy of Angels Demo

Demo Info

It's a pretty long demo. You'll play through two whole chapters and know you're done when you reach an "end" screen, which would be the beginning of Chapter III in the full game. Also, I personally find the beginning of my game to be a tad bit boring, but by the end of Chapter I things pick up, and it's my hope that by the end of Chapter II you'll wish you could keep playing. Sooo, yeah, that's really all.

Downloading now!  If you post the demo in the new Game Reviews section I'll gladly review it!

EDIT:

I found a passability issue.
In Juniper(?) City, the armor shop, you can walk on the treasure chests. =P

I miss the piano music at the beginning.  It felt more... epic than the new piece.  it was like reqium of the something...

[Moosetroop11]

Downloading...

EDIT: Well, every now and then it tells me it can't find an rtp file, so I'm just gonna put all the rtp into it and try again XD

[A Forgotten Legend]

you might not have the same version of the rtp.

...try RPG Advocate RTP.

[drenrin2120]

AFL:
Haha, how'd I miss that? well, atleast it's not crippling. And about the piano music, I changed a lot of things because I thought they would be better, but deep down it was prolly cuz I was sick and tired of hearing it or seeing it or reading it or whatevering it. lol The piece was called Sing with the Harlequin.

MT11: that sux =/ I have no idea what type of RTP I have installed. I installed it years ago. =[

[A Forgotten Legend]

MT11: I have the rpg Advocate.  And it works so. =P  If you have the S something trans. then it's a different rtp.  I noticed that because i had both.

Dren: Lol. Oh well  That makes sense.

That custom font doesn't appear to be working for me. I'm getting that "squished-letter" look that comes from not having the font.

[Moosetroop11]

Hey, no problem. I just copied all the rtp folders into it and it works fine.

At the moment I'm off to get a ship to travel to the mines. Everything's really great ^^

I love the amount of effort you put into this. The amount of maps that are there just to flesh out the world and do nothing for the story astound me. It really helps the game but it's definately a lot of work. Well done

Same.  I think we may have to install that font. =P

[drenrin2120]

Awesome, glad to hear people are enjoying this!

MT11: Thanks, I figured if I'm gonna do it, should do it to the fullest. Though I really started to hate making Juniper after a while, lol. And just curious, how long did it take to get to the mines part?

AFL and CZ: Sorry to hear that, I figured it would work no matter what. =[

Does the font work for you MT11?

[Moosetroop11]

Works fine. It took me quite a while, but I did explore a lot. I can't remember the exact amount of time though, sorry >.>

Also, I found another file problem. The 'Right arrow' picture is missing. I made one of my own and put it in so that should work but yeah, I had to start the mines again >.>
