December Kiss - Revival - TechDemo 1.0

[The Urchin]

New character artwork by Shade the Mystic!

And a demo should be released in the upcoming days. 

Edit:Sorry the Demo is taking so long but I want it to be perfect.  I have the actual game play finished for it but I'm just trying to fix the last few system problems.

 

[The Urchin]

Demo v0.9 has been released!

EDIT: Check first or lower post for demo!

Any error logs are highly appreciated as I have been the only beta tester.

EDIT: 666 topic views, mwahaha

EDIT: 11 downloads and no comments?  Come on guys the least you could do is bash it to hell.

Is it just that one map at the moment?  Because the guy right there at the beginning doesn't do anything when you talk to him and you can't walk by him.

But anyway, I think the designs of the menus and the title screen are awesome, as well as the custom features in battle ...  That's really as much as I could look at without getting past that guy.

Oh shit!  I was testing the end of the demo and forgot to set the start back!!!  Oh no!  Fixing!

Ah I was wondering what was going on ^^
The intro is quite nice but your mapping is very bare, some rooms have nothing in them at all. There are a few mapping errors as well. Like some of the doors are cut off and such.
When you start the game are you ment to be able to get as many Ankn of Destrution as you want? Because I can continue to get them as I wish by pressing that chest again and agian.
The out side mapping was nice but why can't you step on the grass?
Anyway looks like it can become a great game ^_^

Well I never quite finished the inside of evendia tower... hehe.  That's one of the several reasons it's only v0.9.

Ah crap, I was testing something and forgot to remove that item.  You CAN get it in the game, but I won't tell you how.  The world is full of many secrets.

And as for the grass...  Well, I needed a border and it looked good like that.  This was just a small sacrafice for better gameplay design.

If you could pin point some of the map errors that would make things a little quiker but I'll make a play through to see what I can find.  Ugh, playing the same part of the game 500 times really gets old. Haha!

Okay, I've played the demo as far as possible, but there's an error that keeps me from proceeding.  When you emerge from the room with the sacred bat blood, the teleport event sticks you in the wrong place, ie stuck in the wall.    Not fun.

Anyway, I *heart* the health bars, and seeing the enemy's health in battle.

Chowing on bunnies is great, but the feeding could be creepier.  Perhaps a special character pose, or a more gruesome sound effect?

Also, I managed to level up Chelsea (in the "Status" menu window) but it wouldn't let me level up Demarion.  It made the sound effect like I didn't have any points left, even though I still did.

And there are also quite a few their/there mistakes.  And "alter" should be spelled "altar" the way you used it in the entrance room of the cave.

Zats about it, as well as what dagger said about sprucing up the maps a bit.  The story seems solid, at least the very small part of it that I got to see before getting stuck in the wall.

The Vampire idea is very unique, I enjoy that! It is interesting to have a game where you play as a monster instead of a teenager with a sword.

 

[Ninjitsu]

And yes their is def custom graphics but i don't find that to be a feature.

Trust me, it is.
Huge accomplishment.
Are you using custom tilesets too?

 

[The Urchin]

Thanks for the info Gib!

EDIT - Fixed sacred room telly.

I am going to make a drink blood animation just haven't gotten to it yet and it wasn't such a major thing to leave out in the demo.

EDIT!!! - Stat leveling is fixed!  Please wait for me to flush out other errors in the demo before releasing.

Also, door problems?  There is only like 2 doors in the whole demo and they look fine to me..  Maybe if you could be more specific I could see what you mean.

Ninjitsu: Custom tilesets yes, but not fully original.  Right now their's not any real original tileset material.  But I'm working on it.  This is one of the reasons Evendia Tower is so bare, I need to make more vampyre esque tileset add ons.

Demo version 1.0 released!

[Gibmaker]

Errr ....  Can't make it very far in demo 1.0, since the event that adds Demarion to your party at the campfire no longer triggers. 

 

[The Urchin]

I'm sorry guys, I have problems.  I always seem to forget to set back switches and shit.  I'll upload a new demo with part of the vampyre city in it hopefully later today but maybe tomorow.  Who knows.

Come fourth my sweet daughter, rise from the dead!
