Eternal Sonja (made with basic RPGmaker2003)

"Everyone has their own methods of motivation that help them achieve their goals, but are these methods right or wrong?  Will you let these methods change who you are and become somebody you despised from the beginning?  As time progresses forward, who you are constantly changes..."

The game I am currently working on is about a group of people who find each other, whether it be fate or destiny, nobody knows (except me ).  One acts on revenge, another fear, another logic, and the last to make a difference.  Their primary goal is to stop a man who is spreading chaos throughout the world of Salamandrio because of unknown reasons.  Is it their destiny to stop him, or do they have the choice to walk away...

The gameplay is pretty simple and battle system is as well.  I thought up the story myself (with inspiration from other games obviously, it is extremely hard to come up with something entirely new) and I have composed the entire soundtrack.  Graphics and Sets etc are from various places and of course, will be credited !  If you ever see your graphic creation, then know that I appreciate the resource greatly !  Kind of like a classic feel you can say.  Anyways, a demo is available as soon as my friend test plays it for glitches lol.  I thought I would just put it out there.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!!

Interesting.  I would suggest posting some screenshots of the game to give us an idea of what the graphics will look like.  Often, people post character graphics or face graphics to show us some of the characters we can expect.  The plot information you gave us was pretty good for introducing us to your game.  Can't wait see more!

And as a fellow music writer, I'd love to hear the music!

Show us some screenies!

[daoman89]

Why thank you for the positive comments haha

I'm afraid I cannot show you the original version of some songs because I told myself I wouldn't but I'll be more than happy to email you a few midis so you can get an idea of how they sound. (I attempted to upload them into the resource section but they didnt go through )

And the story goes into way more depth than that haha

Here's some screenies (yes they are mostly original sprites, chips, etc.)  Actually...  How do I post screen shots?  The image code doesn't seem to work when I previewed it haha

[Meiscool]

Use the [img*] coding option (without the *)

[daoman89]

Ugh I can't do it!

Can something give an example other than the Help Tab's?

[Meiscool]

Use a hosting website (Example: www.photobucket.com)

Create an account -> Upload photos (Up at the top in green if you used photobucket)

Once the photos are uploaded, hover over the picture and click the [IMG*] code option. This will copy it.

Paste it into a post on this forum. Your pictures will show up when you post it.

[daoman89]

oh ok, thank you.  So it has to be posted on the internet first.  Makes more sense now

[daoman89]

Here's a few images from the game.

First off: Decent use of rtp. Not the best I've seen, but still quite good.

Second: Don't save pictures as jpegs if you can help it. PNG is the best file type.

Third: Don't take offense to this question, but is this your first/second rpgm game?

[daoman89]

Technically it would be my third attempt

[daoman89]

My primary focus is not on complexity right now.  I'm making it pretty basic because I wanted to create a classic feel to it like you're playing an old Final Fantasy, etc.  Another thing I did was make the game hard, so newcomer RPG players will not like its challenge hahaha.

I really like your town designs.

also what is RTP?

[daoman89]

Haha thank you!  The one you can go under the bridge area, so there's technically two layers.

The RTP is the standard one that RPGmaker2003 gives you when you first download it.  Otherwise I don't know how else to explain it in more detail.

So most of the graphics are default and some other resources I have downloaded (will be credited).  I do not use any of the default midi files because I am composing the entire soundtrack myself (currently at 40+ tracks).  The sound effects are mostly from the default RTP.  I'll post more screenies for you guys (in PNG )
