Hello there, folks! It's me again and with a brand new new project, Aeon Traveler. Sorry to let you down, but this isn't a game. Instead, it is an Episode Project which is similar in format such as Akasha Seal or Domain: Virtual Takeover. Please note that before flaming this thread about the no gameplay content. This is mainly my third attempt making RMXP project as my two previous project, Neofolis and Haacker's Club failed. So, bear with me through the episodes!

Spoiler: Episode 1

EPISODE ONE : COUNTRY WHERE MAGES GATHER http://rapidshare.com/files/78718735/Aeon_Traveler.exe 

 

 

[Xephyr]

For an episode-ish project, the story isn't anything special, unlike something like Nadir's Canon.

However, I'll give it a go, because I'm a relatively nice person.  I'll post my thoughts in a bit.

 

[Yivyn]

Looks/sounds good. I'll check it out and post MY thoughts soon :3

 

[Impreza]

@Xephyr: The story above is more likely a general idea of the whole plot. With each episodes release, more info will be revealed.

@Yivyn: Yeah, please post your thoughts here and see where I can improve.

EDIT: More info about the series has been posted.

 

[lorddonk]

WOW. Maps look amazing, oh though that should be expected from an episodic project. Still, I will definitely download and try this later when I have some free time.

 

[Malachi]

Very very  VERY nice mapping, Impreza it is worthy enough to rival even that of Nadir's Canon/ Memento Vivere,

 

[ChaosMaxima]

NICE, Impreza!

I'm downloading it right now, and I'll give you my thoughts once I'm done playing. This does look beautiful, though. 

 

[Xephyr]

Well, the mapping certainly was fantastic.  Almost showin some competition to Kraft O____O
The story is nothing fantastic yet.  But, it's an early project, so no biggie.

However, the first episode of episodic projects and even TV shows should usually go with a bang and interest the watcher.  Just saying.

The dialogue and characters are likeable.

Overall, it shows promise.  Keep goin.

Darn, I hate how RapidShare always has the tendency to screw up my downloading. >_<
I will try get this downloaded nevertheless, as it seemed pretty interesting.

Will edit this post with my thoughts when I can get it running.

*edited:
Got it downloaded finally, and completed my first sitting of Aeon Traveler!
Here's what I thought as of far -

Spoiler

• Great intro scene in the ship with the whole stowaway commotion. "Burn element"? Haha. Although, I thought at first it took place on a train instead, with the cabin deco and sound effect.
• When Reith was at the port, I thought I saw a girl in front of an altar/statue "transformed" into a cleric. Could be just me seeing things, since the scene happened so fast lol.
• What's with the kindness of the city guard? Seems fishy to me for just giving Reith the entrance pass just like that...
• There's a name mistake when Reith's sis used the unlock magic to open the door. The message showed Reith's name instead of Anna. o_O
• The scene where Reith applied for his Advance card was a little stiff. I was expecting Reith to be much more excited when he witnessed the spell example cast by the registration office staff.
  Oh, and the Advance card idea is kind of like the manga MxO; with cards acting like catalyst for casting magic, usage limit, and its color symbolize ranks. Pretty neat concept.
• I got confused during the part when Talia's brother took off with her staff of accuracy. I thought she casted "Item Store" to keep it? So the spell failed?
• The enforcers' slowww speech pattern make them sound like robots, but in witching outfit. Can't say I dislike the combination though.  :P[\li]

Well overall, the first episode was fine, to say the least.
Started off somewhat interestingly, but went a little downhill later on as the explanation of the cards kicked in. I can't tell where the story is really heading, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing in my books. Numerous grammar mistakes here and there, but no biggie.

I will continue to follow this project, so keep going with episode two. Good luck!

 

[Impreza]

@Dark Koji: People may assume that the ship scene took place in a train. I just lacks of ship sound effect so, I put the train as the sound instead as it is the closest of the ship's SE. And yeah, I made a minor mistake in the name. No worries, it was fixed.

Thanks everyone for the positive comment, really motivates me! Episode 2 currently in-the-making. Edited the first post with features section. ^_^

 

[harbino]

Any idea where I can get the map from?

 

[Impreza]

@Harbino: The tileset that I used in the project is pretty much fused and recolour from the RTP. Nothing special just need some imagination and patient, haha.

 

[harbino]

But I am not good with creating Tilesets.

 

[Meness]

As usual Impreza, really REALLY good mapping. I'm downloading Episode 1 right now.

EDIT:

Spoiler

The first episode was nicely done. Very nice sprites, maps, and the text was good. Good job keep it up. :thumb: The downside is that the text is a little bit slow (maybe it's just me) and the grammar isn't the best,but I know you'll improve!
