Tears of the Night [8/10/10]

[Hell Angel]

A semi-glance at that page makes it blatantly obvious that they are. I'm not entirely sure why you'd even ask.

Edit: And with a kick, no less.

[A Forgotten Legend]

Uh... yes they are?  Yeah...  ANYWAY!

I would have a demo already, but my partner in crime... i mean, codesigner has had some computer porblems of late.  I'll try to get a demo as soon as his computer starts working again. -.-"

[A Forgotten Legend]

Well, I updated the front page with the new character sprites made.  (I finished Vihr's new charset WHOO!)

Anyway, stuff's been crazy because of band the past few weeks and won't die down until after october is over.  Unfortunately, my animations person still doesn't have a working computer, so I may end up doing the first few characters myself. -.-"  Oh well.  I'm going to try to get it out, but I'm not sure how far along I will be by the end of the year.

EDIT:
-.-"  I'm soooooo far behind where I want to be.  Anywho, I got Cura's new sprite done. =P

[A Forgotten Legend]

Whooo!  Almost two years since I started and still don't have much done! >.<

Well, this isn't quite dead yet.  I just finished programing a nice bank system, and we started working on a revamp of the "passion boost" system.

Also, I need help.  Is this too epic for a boss battle early in the game?  Its not done yet.

Keep the battles tight and engaging, with lots of special attacks that suit certain situations and throw
in some interesting character dialect and humour rather than "Let us go to the castle to the East" and I'll
definitely be playing this game. I actually love the oddly-sized battle sprites. Makes you feel more engaged
with the battle at hand!

Keep it up, and make sure you do what I said! :p

EDIT: Any chance of a video?

[A Forgotten Legend]

Haha, well, I might get a trailer if we ever finish this opening cut scene.  Its turning out to be more annoying than when EH3 was around.

Just kidding.  I'll try and get something for you guys.

[A Forgotten Legend]

Well, now that orientation is over (and my schedule for the fall is packed, I have 18 credits on my schedule and only one of them is not a required class) I've got some time to work on stuff.  I have up to the first hero attacking complete in the battle system. ^.^

[zuhane]

Making a CBS is absolutely agonising, but the results are well worth it. The initial planning
involved in making mine was insane!

[A Forgotten Legend]

Mine isn't even close to yours in how complicated it is. O.o

I just started the attack part of the battle system.  =D  Now I've gotten into when an enemy attacks.

[A Forgotten Legend]

Welllll, I somehow did not get very much farther in the battle system, but, if you want to see the complete details on it and the CMS, hit up the website!

Feel free to make an account and give some ideas and such for the battle system and menu system.

The part I listened to from your boss theme sounded mostly like the intro.  I think a longer sample would be needed to make a better judgement.

[A Forgotten Legend]

Hm.. let's see if I have a more updated version...

EDIT:
Use the same link, but there is a midi one there now.  I am uploading an Mp3 version that sounds way better now.... but I'm downloading something huge, so it will take a while.

EDIT 2:  Not as long as I thought apparently.

[Linkforce]

Keep up the good work AFL, don't quit on it you seem to have a lot into this already.  I'd suggest getting a demo out soon so you can show us what you've done so far.

[A Forgotten Legend]

I'm trying.  This battle system is giving me a headache.  The hardest thing right now has been getting the cursor to move to the right thing, then select the right option. -.-"  But I got that working finally.

[zuhane]

Haha, tell me about it. My game runs off a central battle system design, so I still only have 1 battle with 1 type of enemy.
I have to make it absolutely 100% perfect and glitch-free before I can replicate it with different enemies
