|Life|Death|Psi|: The Psion Chronicles

[Xathia Vastar]

When I see the word 'magik,' I assume one of two things (or both):
1. A game will be heavilly inspired by Final Fantasy
2. The person doesn't know how to spell

I don't understand how 'magik' is a common word used widely except in those Final Fantasy-esque games.

As for your game, I would suggest fleshing out your story more. It sounds like there are a lot of things in this game world that you will need to explain (Psions, magik, etc), and failure to do that will result in the player getting confused of what is going on.

The Emotion System sounds like the same thing used in Super Princess Peach.

People, stop talking out of your ass. FF didn't invent the spelling of the word "magick", and "magick" is simply used to differate it from modern "magic", which is things like illusions and tricks.

Hopefully, this issue can be dropped already.

 

[Xathia Vastar]

I didn't say at any time that the word was invented by FF.

<i>1. A game will be heavilly inspired by Final Fantasy</i>

If a game uses the spelling 'magick' because its inspired by FF, that implies you think FF has something to do with the spelling itself.

I think Kaze settled the debate already, so I'll just skip to the next thing.
In order for a teleport area to open up, you need to talk to the little girls in the towns. You...didn't do that, did you?
Emotions: a guy in a house will "show you an image" (that you never actually see, hehe.) These make your anger, sadness, etc. go up. When you use the Orb Rod in battle, it channels the emotions to attack or heal, depending on what Slannon has equipped. After a certain point, you can chat with your team members, some of whom will make you angrier or sadder or whatever-er.
I am also adding more the story, and will update soon.

I'm planning on releasing an update on Monday/tuesday, so please delete any old version of the game you have along with the save files. I have updated the Infinite Maze and other places and fleshed out the intro, so I hope you guys enjoy it!

 

[Demosthenes2k8]

Well it's late, but I've updated the game so it's not too crappy. Download it here. It ties in with the also updated story in my first post.

Please try it, now that it isn't awful and has an actual story. NOTE: Anti-awfulness only really goes to the end of the first chapter, and about where you get the boat.

 

[Larynni]

Tell me, you have fully changed the first towns in the game, right?

 

[Demosthenes2k8]

Yes, they now look completely different. Instead of "Go to the Tower" it's now a huge tournament thing. Please tell me if you see a bug or mistake, though. I already spotted one where he's been training for the last month, but if he loses the tourney a year's work will go to waste. (I'll fix it when I get on my other computer.)
But in order to completely get the story you may need to read the story spoiler (the background) at the first post

EDIT: I updated again to include Larynni's character from the Boss contest, as well as remove some bugs.

Yay, you are one of the first to spell my nickname right. *high fives*
I'm going to try the new version out once... I get bored from this thingy I've just got.

 

[Demosthenes2k8]

...Dare I ask?
I also just replaced the previous update, fixing major problems in it.
By next weekend: Blackcoast and Luna Tower revamped!

 

[Larynni]

Okay. One thing... start saving your stuff in .PNG instead of .JPG.

 

[Demosthenes2k8]

There are no .jpg files, I just checked. Also, I keep finding bugs but I'll post the updated, bugless one tomorrow.

 

[Larynni]

The logo.
NOTE: ONCE JPG'D, ALWAYS JPG'D. REMAKE THE IMAGES.
For god's fucking sake, can you stop DELETING the downloads? Just keep them there, man... I was at the fucking 99.50%'s and you deleted it. >_<

 

[Demosthenes2k8]

xD oops...No, I'm serious. There are no JPG files. I checked in DOS, even.

hmm...should I tell you about how I managed to finish debugging already?
It's not much, just a final fix of the faces. You can ignore it if you like. And sorry about deleting the downloads.

http://www.mediafire.com/?x0glmgpownn is the latest bug fix. (Still doesn't have Blackcoast, etc.)

 

[Demosthenes2k8]

Err...I forgot to update.
I have fixed many places in the first world right now.
