what did you take so long that you're working since 2003 on it???

CoolPlayRPG:
Really, do you think I could finish a game without any help in one year?
I agree about the RTP charsets and stuff, and I'm planning to change that stuff to a different style, don't worry. And about the maps, I agree once again. It really depends on how much help I'm going to get. If I don't get any, this won't even be done by 2006.

just1question:
PalmerX is busy on the FF1 battle system if I'm correct.

Dragonium:
Actually, I already installed that font on my computer.

Moosetroop11:
Nothing too harsh, he's just saying what he thinks about it.

[SleepAid]

I can make you a title/GO if you would like...

[RPG LORD]

Hmm.... No, I've already done a title, and I won't need a gameover.

well, i don't know when you started in 2003 with your game, but we write 2005 by now and this is 2 years, not 1.
and if you were a newbie at this time, i would spend more time with learning how to make a real good game, not to start a game directly. of course i also made a game when i was a newbie and this was only with rtp. today i might finish a game like this was in one day, but soon i realized, that such a game would never be accepted by the ones who play rpgs, so i learned and learned and learned until i got the knowledge how to use the different functions of the rpg maker.

if you need help with technical stuff, ask me, if you want. i think i'm good enough at this to help you. you also can do it with tutorials. that helped me too.

Sorry for any crappyness you might find.

[SleepAid]

Yo! anyone there?

[wildguy3922]

Hey, RPG LORD, if you need any charsets, just ask, except for poses, because for some reason, I am cursed with them.

[RPG LORD]

SleepAid: I'm sorry but I practically don't need a Game Over for the game.

wildguy3922: I'd be honoured to have your help, but I'd also need someone for the poses. In any case I can still try to do the poses myself or find someone to do them.
Welcome m8.

[SleepAid]

Oh, well ****. I read your post wrong. Either that or you edited after I read it. Oh well.

[RPG LORD]

Yeah, I changed mind after I posted it, sorry to make you work for nothing.

[Neonlare]

Back guys, sorry about not being on for quite some time, so when's the demo going to be finished? If it is, sorry for not being there to test it >_<

[RPG LORD]

It depends on when I'm going to get that ruddy CBS if PalmerX's going to finish that. In the meanwhile, I'm waiting and creating music for the game, and ripping/making/editing some graphics that I might use.

[RPG LORD]

Does anyone think this fits well with RTP? I find it fits it alot better than those RTP characters

[VahnGrave]

HAHAHA... idk why I did that


That does look quite good in rtp.
