Metal Gear

[paulalankelly]

I know your probably thinking "Not a damn fan game!" well yes its true it is a fan game of Metal Gear Solid!

Now you prob think this is gunna be lame, but me I dont think so because, so far no scripts are used and its turning out great.

BTW In one of the Screenies the game is called Metal Gear XP, dont worry bout that I prob change that.

Spoiler: Story

One year after The Shadow Moses incident, Roy Campbell(Colonel) sends Snake back into action, this time to recieve the Golden Orb which inside contains the only chemical that can make any gun change in size and increase the power of the gun adding a suppressor(e.g a loud Machine Gun will have a suppressor the same as a Stinger.) Snake must travel to Siberia, South Korea and Canada in order to find the person who stole the Golden Orb.

On the mapping, I think you have to improve it...
Fill some rooms.. They're too empty.. i only see there some plants...
And oh! Does a base made of woods?? and has plants on it.. I think you have to use futuristic tilesets so it can fit your title "Metal Gear"

On the snow plains, the plants are too squarey.. make them smooth and nice. just like how
it really looks...

But there is a positive comment.. the character artworks are good, really good!

Yeah I need to improve mapping, as for the wood and stuff that will change once I get some futuristic tilesets, so thats not a keeper lol

 

[Xaixis]

Also stating that it does NOT use any scripts is not a good thing. People like variation and like to see new features.

So far I can't see my self playing this game. MGS (Metal Gear Solid) is a sneaking/shooting game and I just can't see how that will work WELL with RTP and RMXP on it's own would is not a good program for making such a game.

Oh dont worry all that is gunna change I have a small team now and we are geting Character sets, scripts, tilesets and many more

 

[Freyr]

The story is really stupid and illogical. A year after Shadow Moses Snake had already initiated Philantrophy with Otacon and started destroying Metal Gears over the world. Why would he work for Campbell? After Shadow Moses Snake's been declared dead, so working for Campbell would expose him to the public.

Hey, I'd like to wish you the best of luck on making a fan game. A little criticism; (Yes, it has been mentioned already)your mapping is bad. But, there's another reason I'm here. A while ago I found this script on the site, I thought about using it but it never really tickled my fancy. But, I think you could really use it. Check out <a href=http://www.rmxp.org/forums/index.php?topic=37443.0>this</a> script. I think it would be really helpful. Well, have fun :smile:

 

[WeAreSuperhero]

You did a good job on the codec - I'd advise changing the font but apart from that it looks very MGS1 - do you intend to animate the facesets like in the game?

Thanks I'll ty out that script, it seeems like a suitable one.

Yes I'm going to animate them, its just like this for now, and I need a new font also.

http://uirpg.com/tutorials/42 You may have seen this already, but this should help you a bit regarding the sneaking aspect. As well as Freyr already mentioned the story is completely illogical. Anyways best of luck to you, hope you are able to pull off the Metal Gear experience in RMXP.

 

[Link in Pink]

Not to criticize for using the RTP, but there are some more modern tilesets that look similar to the Metal Gear Series. At least for interior. Off the top of my head I don't remember a link, but if I find them I'll link you to them. It would improve the interiors in my opinion, but you don't have to go that way.

 

[Twirly]

It bothers me too that a fangame uses RTP, but i'm sure the final game won't be like that :D
I have an idea for the snow. The soldiers follow your footprints if they see them.

 

[paulalankelly]

Yeah the soldier's follow your footprints, the Tilesets for the interior have already changed I just need to screenshot it I still need more but sofar it's okay.

Also can anyone make me a few Soldier Charasets?

Yhanks for the tut bulls84

 

[fikan]

Also can anyone make me a few Soldier Charasets?

I guess I could do them. You can just PM me with the details, if you want.

It should probably be noted that he didn't do those. Those are from the official Metal Gear Solid PS1 game from Konami.

I agree.This is a big setback.  Maybe you should make it BEFORE
Shadow Moses?

Remember that Metal Gear games have a history of non-canonical games. Off the top of my head I can think of Metal Gear Ac!d 1 + 2 and Snakes Revenge, though I'm sure there are more, so I wouldn't be too harsh timeline wise. Surely the bigger problem with regards to story is, and I quote, 'the Golden Orb which inside contains the only chemical that can make any gun change in size and increase the power of the gun adding a suppressor(e.g a loud Machine Gun will have a suppressor the same as a Stinger.)'. Not only is this completely illogical and most likely impossible to boot, unless all the guns it was used on were already made with shape-memory alloys to allow them to change shape once put into contact with the chemical and in that case why not make them bigger in the first place? Its essentially allowing magic into the metal gear universe - every supposedly 'supernatural' occurrence in the games had a scientific (if sometimes unlikely) explanation.

As well as this, its hardly threatening as a weapon is it? Essentially turning a normal gun into a more powerful gun. Its hardly Shagohad is it? Its hardly REX? Surely this game would do better not as a fangame but as an original title so these inconsistencies don't shine through so excessively and allow a measure of creativity outside the metal gear universe. Use metal gear as an inspiration, not as a basis.
