Legend of Myrdia-UPDATED 2.19.09-ADDED PATCHWORK ENGINE, Build 5

[HobomasterXXX]

The charsets in VX are just the worst.

[fruckert]

Oh sweet, thank you very much
EDIT: As an added afterthough, could someone take all of the autotiles in VX and screen them into a 4*4 block?
GM doesn't suppor Autotiles, and they end up looking hideous in GM, even if they are only temporary

A very ambitious game, but your systems are very awesome.

I seriously just played around in the patchwork engine just imagining that I was hitting dudes with my spells.

Like pew pew pew.

Pew pew.

[fruckert]

Just wait until I get the AI in Sparkengine working good
Then you'll be able to go like pew pew pew to real enemies
So far though, I've only figured out how to make one enemy...which is pretty simplistic

Heres it's profile

GLYPHS:
Glyphs are creatures composed entirely of magical energy
They are supposedly residual energy left from magical rituals
Basically, they fly around and shoot stuff at you
Also, you can only kill them with magic, physical attacks have next to no effect on them

[fruckert]

The Patchwork Engine is doing this really friggin annoying thing to where it only saves requiring administrator permission...so I'm gonna have to rebuild it
Shouldn't be too hard, I only added two objects, so you know
Small hiatus for updates

EDIT: Update, hiatus is still not over

CURRENCY:
I was thinking on how to make a good currency system, and this is what I got
There are 3 different currency types
Citrine Marbles
Jade Marbles
Quartz Marbles

100 Quartz=1 Jade
100 Jade=1 Citrine

Very similiar to WoW, but it's simple
Also, quartz will not be that hard to find
And your wallet takes up inventory Space

Patchwork Engine Build 2
I fixed my annoying glitch, made a better battle room, and added some cool tricks with magic

UPDATES CONTAINED WITHIN
The Magic Icon is little, to better match health
Ice blocks melt when hit with fire, and water freezes when hit with ice
Go Thru block is mostly fixed
Super Awesome Moving Platform

That's it
Tell me what you think

[fruckert]

Here's some shitty concept art!

Please note that that's one of the worst pictures I've drawn of him, and the best one ripped in transit to scanner -_-

His hat is going to be waaaay smaller

[fruckert]

Patchwork Engine has received a minor update
A new spell launch type is now included
You can now create multiple instances of a spell in a "stasis" form, then direct them all with a new button press

Other updates:
A new material type, it burns...it's kinda hard to miss, as it's bright green

The magic, when following you, will now "surround" you in a shield type thing...

You can only cast 10 spells at a time, unless one of your spells die


Mana charges are coming soon, so then you'll be able to power up

I also am working on an AI

[fruckert]

Status Update:

-I've improved my mapping abilities that can be done with Patchwork
-Finished putting in inventory
-Added currency counter
-Made a mimic, but you can't fight it yet
-Working on stacking
-Still working on getting transitions to work, otherwise battles would already be implemented

-Super awesome message stones got added

[Fisherson]

Dude why have I not checked this thread out beffore? It's awesome! I have a qeustion though, do I need VX to play this?

[fruckert]

Nope
It's all gonna be in one exe : D

That is the beauty of GM
Although I really wish I had different graphics
VX charsets suck

EDIT: That reminds me, I'm still looking for somebody to make graphics
If you're interested, send me a copy of your work in a cel-shaded style

Awesome I'll give it a try. You need graphics help? I might be able to do somthing for you when i'm sdone with my chapter for my chain game.

[fruckert]

Good timing, just uploaded a new version of Patchwork

It's still not a game...but it's a lot closer

New things added:
-Combat is now implemented into the world...I've also got a way cooler battle transition, in case you don't like the interlacing
-Bad graphics...yeah...the battlers and VX graphics aren't matching
-Voice stones
-Really confusing mapping...I was bored
-Better mapping graphics
-Other things that I can't remember right now

EDIT: Oh...crap
Ignore the final area type thing
I forgot that I made it >_>
If my predictions are true, then that chest'll crash the game

EDIT2: False Alarm peoples

[fruckert]

Magic Charging
