I'll shall report this typo. I shall report this typo.
 
I respect you and your project.
Althrough, here is my opinions about the game :)

- The mapping needs ALOT of improvement, the outdoor part. The indoor looks pretty neat and i think its good enough if that is your style. How ever, at the outside, try being more creative. Try decorating the outdoors using various of flowers and such.
- The houses look abit unrealistic and also a little weird but maybe that is the way you want it. Althrough, try extending the roof to 2 tiles in height instead or just 1, to make it look a bit better :) Depending on how thick the building is as the roof determines the size of the building and the walls determine the height =P

Well, i guess that'll help you ^^ If you need help with the outdoor mapping, i could help you with that once im done with my game.

Take care ;)
 
Hehe....

"Right now I dont see you doing shit..."

Nice... :P

This looks good, A hell of a lot better then any of my games and about a billion times better then my first....

Your maps are too large.
Remember, RMVX creates 2D styled RPG's. And empty maps don't look good in 2D.
Make your maps a bit smaller, and I am sure you will improve greatly.

They are not too large. The town is large so it needs large map. Bigger houses will have bigger inside maps.

Here are two update videos!

This is the first boss battle of the game. The cut scene has been edited since this video was made. What is not shown is a new party member joining the team, Brad in the cut scene, and some talk after the battle.

This video is when the party attacks High Tower. It is the first dungeon in the game. The cut scene has been edited since the video was uploaded on Youtube. What is not shown is Edge in a chair.

Story: Well, your story is odd and is cliche. So do the heroes magically find a way to defeat the unstoppable army. It makes no sense to be honest with you. Your characters are also pretty cliche as well. They dont have any outstanding and original qualities to them. They are bland in my opinion. Spicen them up by adding these traits and qualities. Also your characters seem completely off balanced when it comes to combat. You are not creating a balanced party. Back to the story. The story itself is cliche as well. A power hungry ruler tries to take over the land. Dont get me wrong, when executed properly this is a classic black and white tale that we all love and enjoy, but seeing as this is your first game, you dont have that experience required to make this happen. Its not your fault, its your first game after all, but this needs to be mentioned.

Graphics: Your mapping needs a major overhaul. That castle in the beginning seen makes no sense to me. Its odd, bland, overly big, and boring. Add some detal, spicen it up a little. Dont just give us a mediocre castle, give us a dark castle or a holy castle. Add the adjetive. Your town is also odd. The interiors are too big and the outside houses are too small. You cant make a 1 tile by 4 tile roof and then have a house that big. It makes no sense and looks odd. Make the houses bigger and make the interiors smaller. Your town is also bland. Its not detailed enough. Everything looks the same and there is not enough detail. There are also too many houses. It would take me 15 minutes to find that character and then another 10 to find the mayor. Its confusing. Add some more trees and shrubs and make the town smaller.

Other: Well, I would use a different battle system or at least have a script that creates battlebacks insted of having the swirl effect. It looks bad. Add some life and originality to your game, character and story wise. Keep it interesting and add some of that flare. You have a lot of typos in earlier vids, and typos break the connection between player and game. Get some custom battlers, there are plenty of them on the internet, do some searching and maybe you can find some decent ones that fit in your game better. You use swear words improperly. You cant just stick "Fuck" in there. There has to be a reason. You should use swear words to create tone and mood and to expand on characters characteristics. I understand this is your first project and I can sympathize with that, but I am telling you the flaws of your game. I may sound harsh but learn from the critisism and improve. :)
 
What are you looking at? I do not have one tile houses with 4 title roofs. My typos have been fixed weeks ago. Please read my earlier posts. Thanks for the feedback. I will get a different battle system but right now I am doing other things first.

The roofs are 1 by 4 tiles. - - - -

If your typos are fixed then I suggest taking down the earlier videos. :)
 
@RATED-RKOFRANKLIN:
the problem is your mapping, use one double the amount of tiles to the amount of tiles you use for the wall.

w: house wall height
r: roof height

now this is how it should be in your mapping:

w:2r

also you don't use roof tiles when mapping indoors.
