Dead Content Black Effect: Sequel to Under

[Taylor]

Ah Miniex' dialogue makes more sense. He wasn't scrubbing th floors to find Patte(r)n, he was scrubbing the floors because a guy named Patten told him to. ^^

It's REALLY quiet. I had to turn my volume far up to hear it... then my head was blasted when Windows did a beep. x.x

Oh and a bug I never noticed before, the bucket in the jail near the first savepoint can be walked on.

Why ain't I a beta tester. I'm testing betas ain't I? XD
*goes back to playing*

 

[The Man]

Ya, we all missed that one somehow, but it's fixed now. And damn! That battler sounds good.

Anyhow, I updated the main post to include more information.

 

[Taylor]

What about the sound problem?

I've finished the demo. No other problems I think.

The lava joke was hillarious. XD
I wasn't expecting that evil-guys base scene though... rather intresting.

Spoiler

HEX IS ALIIIIIIVE AND HES HUNGRY FOR BRAYINS

yeah i'll shutup now

 

[The Man]

Thanks. The sound problem will be fixed.

Anyhow, I super updated the topic and added bios's, and a fw more screenshots.

This game is really really good. The best indie game I've every played. Not really for it's innovations, because although the battle system is different it really is just a RPG.
What I love is the proffesional quality of the game. I only remember 1 spelling error at the beggining. And the story flows great. The story itself is also really friggen good.
I loved Under, and that's what brought me to these forums, but this game destroys it. Nice work, and congrats to your beta players. They are really doing their job.

Is this kind of like a sequel to Under? Being that one of the characters is recognizable?

Aside from that, your mapping looks superb, even though there are clear Character Maker XP stuff in there. Good luck on the project. Bye'Cha!

Wow. I downloaded this the other night, and I got to the small tomb behind the church before I got too tired to continue on. Great game I say, but I'm wondering, what did you do to make the screen move so... smoothly? Is it a script? : )

I'm stuck in the haunted mines. Can't seem to find anything to hit the switch with and raise the bridge above the "super-hot water".

 

[The Man]

After being away for some time I have finally updates this game topic and added new shots and updates. This is also the newest version.

wow this is a game that realy catches your eye, Under was the first rmxp game I played and it was awsoem, and this game is better than awsoem the presentation at the beggining in the jail was great, the skill system is pretty cool to, for now I have no negetive comments.

 

[The Man]

Thanks. If you liked the original version of this you should check out this new one. The entire game has been overhauled, story, progression, everything. It is pretty much a new game with the same character names.

 

[tgman]

love the new look, your a pretty good spriter man.

 

[rpgamer_01]

yeah, it's nice the man, good work!

 

[coyotecraft]

Is this the final version? I've played the first demo before the forward facing battlers and new sprites. I'm sorta disappointed about the changes. I liked how the story originally started in the jail the flashed back to the beginning. I also miss the old tileset for the skill map. I guess the up side is that battles are now easier/faster.
I think you worked it so much it lost it's uniqueness. I guess I'll have to learn to love it.

 

[The Man]

Ya, I have some regrets. But I feel(hope) now that the story is much more involved and smoother flowing. A lot of the main issues with the original version have been fixed as well. So as I agree the project lost some of it's uniqueness, I feel it's gained a lot more depth. The addition of obsticles that block enemies during battle I feel is a good idea as well. Right now, it doesn't change too much strategically, but it will. I also feel and have been told the game is much more atmospheric and cinematic now. That's a good thing. I also love Padraig's soundtrack he is creating. I'm so lucky to have a talent such as him on this project.
Thanks for the comments thus far everyone.

 

[TraDiem]

very good I especially like the dark feel to and the lighting in the game is excellent

 

[Firestalker5]

Congrats on POTM.... if no one has said it yet.

 

[The Man]

Thanks Firestalker5. I was really suprised. I didn't even notice at first. Thanks, this is great!
