Flower (Hiatus)

[Ellie]

Eh it's been so long that I can't remember how far I got. I think I played it for about an hour though.

 

[Necrile]

Ah no problem Wyatt. Hope you play more when the new version comes out though. (However, I ran into a fatal problem with my crafting script. Game is on hold until it gets resolved, since I need it for the final steps of patching.)

Edit: I decided to go with an alternative approach to crafting. Development is back on track.

 

[Necrile]

I really hate to double bump my project but I need some feedback on some last ideas, and if you want them in the game:

*Savefile with all gardens finished (So you can go straight into building/dungeoning)
*Final Boss having a dungeon leading to it, rather than just having final encounter (I will do this, but it will delay the patch a bit)
*Making loot dropped from bosses available for sale after first kill (rather than having to farm him for a certain loot, being able to farm enemys to get said loot instead)

On a side note, how many people actually plan to play this game to finish once I release this next version?

 

[Norton]

I wish I could be more help, but without having played the first version, I have no idea what differences the above will have on the gameplay. I do however, plan on playing this!

 

[Necrile]

Alright well let me ask you this: How many times could you run a 15 minute dungeon before you want to slit your wrists?

Edit: Because potentially, you can run each dungeon 1-3 times and get the best loot in the game, or you could run each dungeon 500 times and never get shit >_>

I'd play the entire series once the entire series is done.
Not kidding. Will admit it seems like a very interesting game so far.

 

[Necrile]

Awesome :3 Also, I'd like to note that I just realised how much content got delayed from v0.6 to v0.7. Minds shall be blown!

 

[Norton]

I'd say a 15 minute dungeon would become too repetitive after about 5 runs. But again, that would depend on how fun the gameplay really is, etc...

 

[Necrile]

Well it's all about the luck of the draw :P If you can get bitchin loot off of the first 2-3 runs, you may not even have to do it again.

 

[Necrile]

Before the final boss, there will be a certain event, and will have a 1..5 chance in picking a name and sprite for this event. The next 5 posters (by people not by posts, excluding myself) will be in this list. You may post a sprite that you wish for me to use (must be xp-style and serious, please), or if one is not posted, one will be chosen by me. Thank you and have a good day.

 

[Daxis]

I'm bored enough.

Name: Zeno
Sprite: rtp fighter 004

I'm really not sure how this would work out but it definitely seems interesting enough. The "character" I just made up is the main protagonist in my name, the same sprite and name, so whatever.

 

[Necrile]

Fair enough. If you really want a hint, google "old monk demons souls 3-3"

 

[Necrile]

If no one posts, I'm just gonna hafta make em up. Why not give your main character in your project a cameo in Flower? (Also do it soon because I need to lock this thread before I post my Trilogy's thread in completed games, albeit it will take a while)

 

[Daxis]

advertise in your sig
then post a whole bunch in the projects discussion/games forums
might take a few days but then a few people might come in

 

[Necrile]

I don't need too many people to pay attention to this thread right now, since I'm making a super thread in a few weeks, but I wanna keep my promise and have four more people just have a chance at making a cameo in flower >_>. But yeah I'll do that. Thanks.

 

[Necrile]

I suppose it's not happening. I'll put you in daxis. It's a damn shame no one else cared enough to post. I can't say I'm not dissapointed with the lack of activity in Project Discussion but I'm not gonna cry about it or anything >_> Also I'm locking this thread, since the trilogy thread is coming sooner or later, and obviously no one cares enough to post in this as is.

 

[Necrile]

Anyone who still gives a shit about this game, rejoice! I have begun working on it again after doing some tests with a side project I called "loot", and also in an attempt to remake Animal. I have scrapped both these projects and taken ideas from both in order to make Flower the best game it could possibly be! Standby for more updates.

 

[Toams]

custom graphics?

 

[RadethDart]

I think custom graphics would make this game a lot better! But I think the game is really interesting overall, and I would like to see more updates! :D

 

[Necrile]

Just out of curiosity, would you guys like to test out a tech demo (seeing as i've been putting off a patch since forever, the game has changed drastically), or wait until i have some assemblance of a final version ready?
