Hymns of Yggdrasil: Chapter Game

[Sasame Kiryu]

I suppose I'm bumping this for some more critique. I wanna know how cliche my story plot sounds and things of the like.

Progression is still slow. I've restarted the mapping, as I feel my mapping skills have improved, so that has to be redone =\ I'm also trying to get some side view battlers sprited. Learning to script as well, so that I can implement at least SOMETHING original with this game. I'm still experimenting with many scripts and trying to work out compatability bugs, so I may not be using a LOT of the scripts that I've posted.

In any case.... â—˜BUMPâ—˜

[edit]

I've added some key listings of things you'd need to know about the game before you play it. The list for races is pending and subject to change. If that happens, I'll post again...

[edit]

wOOt!! Got moved! Nice

[edit X_X]

I've added the list of the rest of the characters, along with a brief history and pictures of the other party members. I've also updated the Screenshot of the CMS.

When reading the intro, I had a smile on my face. Kind of a little on the cliche side, but like it's been said, it's hard to think of anything original. I just wanted to know how the other religions came into play.

 

[Sasame Kiryu]

LoL. Yeah. It's hard to be original in that brief of a premise, and trying to draw in a crowd isn't exactly my best ability. I know that now that I've seen your game >_< I suck at graphicing. All I can hope is that people like reading @_@

 

[MasterMind]

I'm sure if it's as everyone is saying, then people will enjoy it. It's just that I felt it was awkward that a fantasy world had all major religions in our world, complete with the names too.

 

[Sasame Kiryu]

Why not? Many other games have done it. And what's to say this isn't earth? I haven't made mention of the planet this takes place on >_> All you can really do is wait for a demo ;P Which won't come out if I don't get any spriters @_@

Sacriliege or Sacrilege???

The drawings are ok.

 

[Sasame Kiryu]

In all this time, I haven't spell checked that. I should really get to it >_>

[edit]

It's Sacrilege. I'm slow... v.v

 

[Sasame Kiryu]

Gragh... It's been a rough few months. My computer burned out, with nary a resource spared. Alas, the only thing salvaged was the story plot. Starting anew isn't the problem; it's re-learning everything after getting back on my feet. I'll be updating this off and on within the next few weeks, so don't count me out just yet. Just because I was gone for so long doesn't mean I quit, so don't count me out just yet; though I'm sure some of you won't take me seriously anyway ^^ Changes will be made, and that's not something up for debate.

See you again soon,
Sasame Kiryu

I love this game already on the fact that that tree reminds me of the Iifa Tree and my favorite game is ff9

Dude, how the hell can you have religions from the real world in a made up one? The doesn't make any sense.

If you read the topic, that fact was already covered...

In any case, just when I thought I could make some kind of progress on this game, the crap hit the fan again... I need a better computer to work on this, so until then.... This game won't get worked on..... as it hasn't been.....

I have no luck with computers....

If someone could help by spriting and developing scripts for my game, that would be infinitely awesome. I'll credit, and possibly pay, depending on wether or not I want to go mainstream with this or not. That'll be discussed later...

Well, that's that. See ya...

[edit]

Here's the link to my recruitment thread, in case anyone cares enough to help....

 

[Clest]

Hey, the project looks interesting, I love your concept ideas, specially the calendar

I really hope you don't cancel this... I don't have much time since I am working on my game... however, I can try and make a few sprites for you if that helps any, at least for your main characters...

 

[Sasame Kiryu]

Quite. Any help is appreciated help, especially since I can't work on this project past writing on this computer. It can run RMXP, but it's so slow... the progress I'd make on a regular comp, I'd make less than half on this one... So yeah. Help, if any, is appreciatted.

Yeah I guess I shouldn't have asked the same question again, sorry. But you realize that's still not a straight answer. I don't believe any game has done this. I mean there are plenty of references but nothing like this. It still doesn't make any sense...

 

[Sasame Kiryu]

It's not supposed to make sense. You're supposed to wait for the game to come out to find out...

Why does Lukea look like a free prostitute? If that pants of hers (if you can call it that) would be any smaller, she'd be humped by every enemy (and ally) that gets a sight of her. Well, if she would have any breasts; which indicates that she's young; which indicates that it's child prostitution! ZOmg.

Other than that, the storyline setting is pretty cool. Well, average, actually. But I just wanted to say something nice in my post and not sound like a total ass. ^^

One show does something similar and does a GREAT job explaining why (IMO). The planets are not Earth, yet some "religions" or deities are the same also on Earth. It was/ is called Stargate.

Anywho, I cannot wait to see how you will explain it, I'm sure you'll do fine ^^.

 

[Sasame Kiryu]

I hope so. My idea is unique, from the research I've done on religious games. I'm trying to be as hardcore as I can about this being originial as I can make it.

Lukea is a little girl. On top of that, she's poor. Hence the attire ^_^ Hopefully I'll get a new computer soon, so I can start working on something beside adapting my story >_<

 

[Clest]

Regarding explanations and religions: In many rpgs set in fantasy worlds, develoipers used mythologies from our ownb world and culture, if you find this premise strange for this game, whaty ablut summoning Odin in Final Fantasy or travelling to the ancient city of Thor in Tales of Phantasia?

Now it can be logical if you considere the said religions/mythologies as not just culture or belief, but as truth (not saying you should believe all of it, just imagine if it was actually true even in our world) wouldn't be natural that if there were such powerful Gods, that they would be known by many races throught the whole universe? Maybe some would name then differently, but could there be more than one ppl to call Odin by the same name.

Stargate has Earth in it. Haven't you seen the movie? And in Tales of Phantasia, the story was dumb. It was the game play that was good. As for this not intentionally making sense before the game is released... well that doesn't make sense... Sorry for being such an ass, but seriously...
