This looks cool!
I have always enjoyed doing sidequests and stuff. There aren't many games like this around.

About that: Can you stay in every region for a limited amount of time, because you have to guide the sun, or can you stay in every region as long as you want?becoolioman":21vtl48k said:

That is still a work in progress. While it may sound like a great idea at first, staying in a region for an hour is probably going to be too long. And if someone is in the middle of doing something, and times runs out, well that would really suck. I think I am goin to make it as long as you want, bacause I doubt a player is going to want to stay in an area that long.
Thank ou for your compliments!

Wow, another update.
You seem to be pretty on top of this Becoolioman.
Anyway, your game still looks good, I supose it will be fine with out a story line to follow.
The Money and AP purchase idea seem pretty good that way
you have to work in two diferent ways to succed I guess.
Also the new screens look cool though I am wondering how you will portray the low
temperatures in Nuhar Forest with out the use of snow. If you dont do something it will
seems as if it is just a normal forest and it will be pointless claiming it is cold.

What I think is that there should be a Main Story for each location in addition to the little sidequests that unfolds little by little with each passing day.
There could be a lot of humorous things going on with these stories, or you could add some more serious stuff to balance out the regular sidequests. But unlike the sidequests, which probably last no more than one or two days (idk), the main story (or stories) of each location would unfold slowly as Eos makes her rounds (just a little scene somewhere in each location), and just like everything else, it could be completely optional, so it shouldn't feel forced, keeping the sandbox feel while still giving people who like a good story in a game satisfied. These stories would probably culminate in harder or more fulfilling sidequests. It might also give a slightly more grandiose feel to it once the player has analyzed everything, contrasting the "here and now" of the sidequest-based gameplay.
I really like the idea of going around the world, guiding the sun! It would probably be a fresh, fun experience, whether you take my advice or not!

Think Final Fantasy Chronicles, where the heroes go around the world collecting myrrh to save their town every year. There is lots of story shown through random events, but none of it feels forced. The premise of that game overlaps slightly with that of your game, so I just thought I would mention it. Unlike FFC, you probably wouldn't have a "final dungeon" or an ending.

Sounds like a fun game
I don't know if you were planning on doing this or anything, but I think it would be cool to have quests that start in one zone and you have to do tasks in other zones to complete it. It would help make everything feel connected.
Great work so far though, I like the art style :D

If you are making a sandbox game like this in rpg maker you should check out A home Far Away on rm2k3. It will help you out. Same style of gameplay.
Also, I only glanced over them, but from your screenshots it shows you use arrows for out of view doors but not others. Can you not find a better way to do this? Better yet, not have side doors, they don't suit the perspective of the rtp. You should be consistent on using arrows for all entrances or none at all. How about a simple icon above all doors if you insist on having horizontal doors.

I plan to change those arrows into a more simpiler red arrow. I understand what you are saying and I shall fix this consistancy error. I still plan to have horizontal doors, though I can see what I can do with the suggestions you make. And thanks for the pointer for another game, I shall check this out and maybe takes some thoughts and ideas and incorporate them into my own game.
Dang there is only spriter and scripter positions left, witch I suck at... ( Wait I dont even know the basics lol)
Is it ok if I be the following job/position:
Eventer
Mapper
Idealist ( Never mind, too many of them anyway.)
Writer ( See above)
Helper with any little tid bits.

Well, I was thinking about having 2 idealists, but I was thought other wise. Then again, the more different views someone has, the more successful it becomes. So yes, I would be hapy if you joined me.
