[Full Game] Lucid Awakening

[sillypieman]

Yep, I remember you.  I hope you're not excited about crafting the Gems because now you just buy them lol.  If you played where you crafted them, you would see that it was a VERY slow and annoying process.  Playing through it, I realized that I didn't even want to bother with armor because it was so annoying.  So yeah, you just buy them now :/ .  Sorry.

Just a minor update, I'm near the end of playing through my game.  So just hold on a couple more days and I'll have the final game up ^_^.  Then I can begin officially planning a sequel as well as the project in VX that I want to work on....

Thank you ^_^.  I tried very hard to balance the battles, I've done unimaginable amounts of testing, and that's what needs to be done to have a good game.

I'll give you the honest answer to the depth of my storyline.  I draw a LOT of inspiration from Tetsuya Nomura, particularly the Kingdom Hearts series.  Honestly, a lot of the stuff was just vague things that sounded cool, and I just built the story off of those things and tried to make sense of them.

In other words, I just make the game as I go.  I know that's not a very good method, especially since I had to redo a lot of pieces of dialogue and events several times because it didn't make sense.

Like I said, I draw inspiration from Nomura.  He leaves a lot of open and vague story points, which some people might consider bad writing; but really, that just allows you to more easily make sequels and prequels.

About Zeke, I honestly don't know why he knew about the gateway.  That's one of those things that I'll probably have to explain later on, but either way I'll have fun figuring that out.  That's the cool thing about making a vague (but logical!) story, I actually don't know what's going to happen.  Like the ending to my game...I was literally surprised at some of the plot revelations at the end lol...I'm not kidding.

But I think Zeke was just kind of in a trance by the power of the gateway...that is what I was getting at.  I'll just say to not dwell on that part...it probably won't be very important.

But yeah, you'll find out around the last Gate you seal all about Zeke.  It's very cool in my opinion ^_^.

I HAVE to learn to be like you... :P

No, seriously, you have MSN or something? If it's private, PM it to me. I really need to talk to you.

Wow, sillypieman! You've really come a long way! :D

 

[sillypieman]

I JUST finished playtesting my game all the way through.  I clocked in at around 6 hours.

I am going to upload the full game tonight ^_^.  The only bad news is that I have a very slow connection so I'm not sure how long it'll take, or if it will even be successful.

Edit: It won't let me upload it right now -_-.  I'll just do it when I go to college Tuesday I guess.  Or maybe tomorrow if I go to my friend's house.

 

[ChaosMaxima]

Full game? FULL game!? *faints*

Awesome! Hey, just by the way, can you provide a savefile that goes upto the end of the demo? I seriously don't want to go over it all over again.  :-\

Oh, and I hope you leave it un-encrypted lol. I love cheating.  :P

EDIT:

One more thing; please don't upload to Rapidshare/Megaupload. Try Mediafire, or bigupload or something instead.

 

[sillypieman]

It would be best to go through the whole thing again, because there might be slight changes to what happens, and also the scripts and stuff are different.

I am leaving it encrypted too :/ sorry.

I will probably upload it to filefront, is that okay?

 

[sillypieman]

GAME COMPLETED!
The game is officially complete, and uploaded ^_^.  Check the first post.

I am so happy that it is finally done...it's been just a little over a year in the making I think, and it's finally done.  Thank you all for the support and feedback.  I hope you will all play it and continue to give feedback.

Congratulations!

I will give It a play as soon as I get on my PC.

 

[nick5674398]

wow, I can't wait to start playing this, it looks like you changed a lot of the scripts since I last got to play it. I can't exactly play the demo now, or not for a few days, but you can expect a full reply, when I can.

 

[Reives]

Congratulations on completing a project! Rare deeds now days.

 

[Ganstaquay5000]

Wow I love this game. But there seems to be an error. When Level up it says that your missing the level up picture.

 

[sillypieman]

Really O_o?  It was working fine when I played...is it a critical error?  Like does it shut the game off?

 

[Ganstaquay5000]

Yeah! It says the the Level Up picture was not found!

 

[sillypieman]

K I'm soo sorry...I'm putting the picture on the first post.  How embarrassing -_-.

 

[Ganstaquay5000]

Thanks. It works perfectly. I love everything about this game. This is the game that i'll be playing over like 50 times.

 

[sillypieman]

Since everyone likes it so much, too bad I can't sell it ^_^

 

[ChaosMaxima]

Ah... Filefront... *runs away*

It keeps giving me some strange error saying that there was a processing error or something...

Oh, and will the old save files work? That way, I can cheat in the old savefile, and transfer it to the new one! Lol, Just Kidding, Just Kidding. :D

EDIT: Once I'm done downloading it, I'll upload it to my server. That'll a) Begin the download right away, without having to go to the page and click, and b) Stay permanently on the server without any errors.

 

[sillypieman]

Haha is filefront bad?  I'm sorry.

You really don't mind hosting the file?  My dad actually has some bandwidth that he's not using because he went ahead and bought a domain, but isn't using it yet.  But I'm not sure how to upload it or anything -_-...my bro would probably know how.

Well, if you do put it on your server just give me the link and I'll put it on the main page.

 

[Luminier]

Hmm, you expect people to put that picture into the graphics folder, when the game is encrypted? Or am I missing something, here?

Oh, and what's up with this?

Nope, I don't mind hosting it, and I already have. Here's the link:

It's just freewebs... so I don't really mind hosting it. Anyway, enjoy!
