Story Information:

Spoiler

Welcome to Eternal Fantasy I - The Revenge of Kuri.

(Taken from some old guy's journal)
An old prophecy once said; ''Pain and suffering will return to Externia.''
Sadly, this prophecy seems to have become reality... Some evil creature has come to Externia, and together with it's 4 Generals; Sactos, Aqidus, Nocturnus and Kalika he has been destroying everything we worked up too; a beautiful and peaceful world...

After a while, we just gave up hope, nobody seemed to be able to stop him...
That is, until a small group of adventurers passed through town...
They seemed so determined on saving Externia, that i believed them, and i gave them my best armor and weapons to help them on their journey...

1 Year has passed since that time, and i had already given up all hope...
Suddenly, a message came in from Mt. Croktra... One of the generals was defeated!
I asked who defeated the general, and it seemed to be true, all my hope had been returned...
It was the small group of adventurers who killed the general!

Days passed by, and received word that the other 3 generals had also been beaten!
We were thrilled to hear the message, but along with the good news, bad news came also...
To defeat the other 3 generals, 3 of the 4 adventurers had to give up their lives...
Even though we were grieved by the bad news, our hope had not been destroyed...
In fact, we even received word that the final adventurer, called Tyrone, set his way to the hideout of the evil creature called ''Kuri''...

Weeks gone by and we had still not received any word from anyone...
Then, at the point of giving up hope that Tyrone had survived, a sudden flash of light could be seen in the distance....
At that point, the gray skies that surrounded Externia vanished....
At that point, we knew it was all over...Kuri had been defeated.

Now, a year after Kuri had been defeated, we had huge fest, thinking it was over...
But in my heart, i knew it couldn't be over, he was to come back and surround Externia in gray skies again...
I can only hope, that when that day comes, there will be someone to stop him once more...

This... really isn't a good thread. You need much more information than what you've included here. First of all, you need at least three screenshots. A single in-editor shot of a map doesn't really cut it at all.

It would be nice if you included more info on the story. Like what happens during the games first few minutes, or the overall point of the game. Some stuff about the characters would be nice as well.

You can't just stick some arrows next to some words and claim that it's an description of a class system. Explain how it works! Also on your features: None of those things you listed are actual features. "Well made maps"? Not only is this entirely subjective, it's also not a feature. "Fully balanced"? What does that even mean? Not a feature. Caterpillar script and side-view battle system script? Unless you made these yourself(which you didn't) they're not really features, just pieces of code you pasted above main. Same with "level up notice". "Alot more"? lol

A credits list in your demo is a good, and necessary thing. A credits list in your thread? Not so much. Plus you've got all this information hidden away inside spoilers. There's nothing outside of the spoilers. This does not make for a nice-looking thread.

 

[feralninja]

My first actual game topic, so i expected a reaction like that, and i don't mind at all! :P

you need at least three screenshots. A single in-editor shot of a map doesn't really cut it at all.

Already planned on making a few new screenshots of a few areas, they'll arrive soon. ^_^
3 new images have been added.

It would be nice if you included more info on the story. Like what happens during the games first few minutes, or the overall point of the game.

Hmm, i thought i've had pretty much enough information about the story, it's pretty much obvious what the goal is though, kill the bad guy. (And no, there are no friggin' crystals! (w00t)

Some stuff about the characters would be nice as well.

The information about the current characters is far from enough i know, i already posted this message before i could add a part with the character information xD, so that'll be fixed soon also.

You can't just stick some arrows next to some words and claim that it's an description of a class system. Explain how it works!

It's not exactly a Class System, it's about what classes there are. (And will be updated)
Updated it to ''What classes are there?'' And added a bit more.

Also on your features: None of those things you listed are actual features. "Well made maps"? Not only is this entirely subjective, it's also not a feature. "Fully balanced"? What does that even mean? Not a feature. Caterpillar script and side-view battle system script? Unless you made these yourself(which you didn't) they're not really features, just pieces of code you pasted above main. Same with "level up notice". "Alot more"? lol

...I checked out alot of game threads, and in the features it's almost always mentioned about scripts (NOT by by themselves, nor edited) and things that the game has... (Can't be Blamed for that, sorry. :P)
EDIT: I've removed it, for now.

A credits list in your demo is a good, and necessary thing. A credits list in your thread? Not so much. Plus you've got all this information hidden away inside spoilers. There's nothing outside of the spoilers. This does not make for a nice-looking thread.

I was just about to update the game in fact (Small map fix), might aswell add the credits to it.
And almost all threads had a credits list, so i decded to add one also.

And i'll get some of the stuff out of the spoiler boxes, i guess i did went a bid overboard with the spoilers and such. xD
There are now only spoiler where I see fit.

Again, thanks for posting, as this is my first real game thread. (And on this forums, there are some other rules than on other forums i visit, so i'll have to keep those in mind also.)

Ok well I remember I used to be the type of person who rushed into making a project thread without too much thought. So I sort of understand where you are comming from.

First off, the story:
What I want to know is how the heck we know the names of the "Evil Creature's" Generals but not the Evil creature itself until later?
Also what you have here is more of a backsory than the actual story. Try to givea brief overview on the story of the game as well.

Second off, Characters:
Alright I'm going to be straight with you. These mini-character blurbs are seen everywhere and since the first time seeing them I still highly dislike them. The give no information to player at all really.
Just a tip try to make it a tad more discriptive.

Third off, classes:
I'm a bit bias agaist this because character classes have pissed me off since WoW was created.
So my thing would be for you to ditch that idea completely but that isn't really helpful critisism.
What I will say is tell us what each class features. What does an Assassin Lack and or Gain in comparison to a Ninja.

Fourthly, screenshots:
Don't appeal to me at all. The mapping is good for a newbie but otherwise it's stark ad basic. The layouts of you're maps are too pen and there isn't much going on.
Also roads (even man-made) iwhen dirt is used are never dead straight.
Carpet stairs also go above the carpet so the bottom hemy thing doesn't become visible.
Add more detail! You're cae like map is way too symetric.

Please if you have ne super-awsome-features then remove this item altogeather, it looks redicules.

Try adding a black borde around the support sig, would look a little tastier.

Now I haven't tried the Demo yet but to be helpful I will give it a shot.
EDIT: I missed twice versing Kuri andwith no way to heal I died. I gave up then and there.

 

[feralninja]

Took everyone's advice and currently creating a better topic in word, wich i will then copy to this topic.

EDIT: I missed twice versing Kuri and with no way to heal I died. I gave up then and there.

Really? You should always win....
Trust me, just try once more, and you'll most likely win.

Hey

well lets get to it.
Heres some things i do not understand

is the game the story or is the game a whole different story, cause my mind is messed up right now i dont now what the games plot is.
I Havent tried the demo yet so i cant say anything to the gameplay
Blizzard Company ( do you mean those who made WoW ) Seriously if it is them i highly hate that company for mokking RPG'S With that redicoulus game WoW.

Well the story seems fine to me but i really wanna now what the plot is it That Kuri is comming back and Jack is the one who will stop him this time?( i am not saying to spoil anything just a hint or something).
also another question,
The 4 adventurers can you please tell us the names of them.
the maps youve made is alright, they look decent atleast.

I Would support your game but then you need to tell us the plot of this game, the names of the 4 adventrurer.
Beside that this game looks actually decent, i will try the demo of yours of course.

Urgent : Do not Release a Demo before even planning your game 100%, take your time on the game do not rush.

A Game is only good when it has been worked on, not beacuse of the thread looks decent.
Do not Give up on this game just beacuse of the critics, actually its good to have some bad critics so you now what to develop in your game.

Just ask people if you need a bit of help with the game, i suggest going to Concept Development, maybe you can get some help in there.

From : Akuma209

 

[feralninja]

Hehe, i don't mind bad critics, afterall, people are just trying to help. :P

And as i said, i'm currently working on a new topic in word, this will hold far more information about the adventurers, your purpose, ect.

And no, i mean Blizzard as in forum Blizzard, not the company. :P

P.s.

but i really wanna now what the plot is it That Kuri is comming back and Jack is the one who will stop him this time?

Spoiler

Yes, that's mainly the purpose, Jack and co will try to stop Kuri once more.

Also, i already planned this part ages ago, since the start of the story (MONTHS ago. :P)
But if you've played the first part of the demo, you'll discover that Kuri had returned...but how?
Kuri can keep coming back to life it seems...until someone beats him in ''The Aftermath'' that is...If anyone played Final Fantasy 2, they'll know what will come. (SoR)

 

[Akuma209]

Ok now i understood. cant wait for your next thread man.

 

[Crystalgate]

I have played the beginning of the demo. Your RPG seem rather barebone so far.

There is very little characterization. I did not get any feeling for what kind of personality the characters have. The fact that Jack's parents are named Mom and Dad doesn't help either. That's a blatant way of saying "hey, they don't matter." If they are deemed unimportant, chance is you haven't thought trough what kind of people Jack's parents are and how they raised him. Since such things play a large role in what kind of person you become, this is a bad sign.

The villain admits to being evil. As a rule, people don't consider themselves evil.

Jack and Lily really shouldn't decide to go and fight a powerful enemy just like that. Also...

Spoiler

"remember to change your underwear every day" is not how a mother should react upon hearing that her son is going to fight an enemy that threatens the whole world.

The balance seems strange as well. At least cut a zero from both the spell cost and the characters' MP pool. Also, Jack and Lily starts with enough MP to use their skills twice. Not even old school RPGs are that stingy with MP.
