This is a Tileset I made and it may work for your futurish settings. But, it may be too dark and I havent added the objects.
It IS in the future after all, right? Its up to you guys if you want to make it dark or not.

Hey G-man, although you don't have a whole lot of images or information I've always just kind of assumed that this will be really good. Demo deadline is pretty soon. I look forward to it and hope you meet the deadline
Actually I think the screenshot is kinda mediocre, but I wouldn't have mentioned it if it wasnt dubbed as awesome. But it's only one screen.
Story seems to borderline dangerously on cliche but it is hard t tell untill I actually play the game.

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa205/kodakami/genisissagauserbar.png[/IMG]Well I can say I'll try not to disappoint in that department, I'm a little iffy on the scripting, but storytelling is something I can do, and light effects nice light effects, thanks to Calibre's extensive tutorial on cosmetic fogs, and Ccoa's sunbeam tut. Hey people where's the rough critique I want some too! I notice other post are getting it, and I know my story isn't perfect, so come on in and rip my story to shreds..................okay not shreds, not flame either
but I do want CC

That's what Terry16389 asked for - and I gave him 1,400 words.
But, I'll tell you what I think - based on what I see in the project thread.
I'll make a few suggestions, but it's your project - either heed my advice, or ignore it.
Despite the cliche "magic crystals", I like the concept. Although, it does remind me a bit of Materia from FF7. So, I'd be careful how they are used in the game - but, I am surprised that no one has brought that up before.
You have so many! 13 heroes, I assume would all be playable, is quite a lot. It makes me wonder how you can develop all those characters in only 30 hours of game play - unless you go the route of FFX and make the game little more than an extended movie.
However, it seems that you would also like to incorporate the "choose your own adventure" elements. Writing all the dialogue for each choice and establishing how the party members would react for each choice should be terribly time consuming. Even without allowing the player to make such choices, if you don't have a fair amount of dialogue, you will probably be criticized for having too many characters and making them all shallow just to have a big party.
I'd suggest cutting the party down significantly.
I see nothing that describes their motivations. It would appear that the villains are really underdeveloped.
That doesn't tell us much about him other than he is, basically, a mad-scientist. I can't stress enough how important it is to give your villains some character.
Have you read "Heroes and Villains" in issue number five[/FONT] of the eZine? If not, here is a link to the eZine archive I put online.
The story, as it is presented, is a bit disjointed. You have spoilers in spoilers in spoilers for tiny bits of text, yet the giant character concepts are right out in front. The text is divided into many sections - it is a bit confusing.
Get rid of all the spoilers and put a bolded header that says "Synopsis"; then, just re-structure or re-write the text so that it all flows together.
Also, there really isn't much to the story you have posted. If you take out the parts about the North/South state, all we have is that there is an assassination. You should give a general coverage on what the game[/FONT] is about, not just the back-story or the events which happen prior to the start of the game.
I think this is excellent. But, as I said before, it should be in spoilers.
These, honestly, are not very good. At least, not the best way of representing your game. First, the font in the text box is very hard to read (if you want a futuristic font, ask for suggestions). I think that a simple sans serif font like Arial would be your best bet.
If you can do cosmetic fogs, do it! I understand that getting a good screenshot might be a bit difficult as you don't really have the appropriate tilesets, yet - but, anything is better than what you currently have. Zatosai's tileset looks awesome, I suggest trying it out.
The general presentation of your project is poor. There are far[/FONT] too many spoiler tags and they are not ordered or organized coherently.
You should also have a staff section. While your sig lists the members of Wired Productions, a staff section would really help people familiarize your team.
Also, your topic is pretty bare - you need more graphics. Maps, character concepts, illustrated section headers, and (most importantly) a title-screen or logo.
That is about all I have to say, for now. This project is interesting, but I want to see more development in the above listed areas.

*whistles* And I thought I was the only one getting a lengthy critique!
(AND FOR THE LAST TIME! I AM TERRY, NOT TERRU!!!)
(AND FOR THE LAST TIME! I AM TERRY, NOT TERRU!!!)
Yay some critique. I appreciate your time, and I thank you for pointing that out, as for the artwork they're long overdue for spoilers, But I disagree on the materia part, Genesis Diamond(I use diamond to be a little different) can alter time and space but I don't think I clarified that in the post, the spoilers are confusing took me quite a while to make the right closing tags and such, as for the villians section, expect major updates soon as in right now!
