My wonderful project in RMVX

[gotxbrains]

Yeah, so i used rmxp for a bit, then upgraded to VX and started using that. I must say it's rather easier, and the only thing I don't like is the layering dealy thing. But that's not why I'm here is it XD

So the game, it has not title as of yet. I've really no idea of where i plan on taking this game. But I need to have one, so here is the basic gist of what you will be doing in the game. It starts out like any other rpg. You wake up(that's how far i've gotten :D) and then somehow you end up caught in some traumatic event that leaves someone close to you either lost or killed, or w/e and then you have to go on this big quest to save the world :D but since i haven't gotten that far really, all there is is the first town, one small side quest to do in there, and quite alot of little secrets. Sure it's not gigantic, but you'll spend a bit trying to find them all.... the secrets i mean.

And the whole idea is that a giant gate is letting out all these monsters from a different dimension (The X-Demension) And the only way to close the gate is to collect the elemental orbs located all around the globe. Naturally each one is protected by hoards of monsters and bad guys, and gradually harder to defeat bosses, and to seal the gate of course there'll be a final big bad boss guy you have to beat. Just like every single rpg out there :D

So, i need screenshots now, here they are (Everything is standard in the RTP so don't look for anything special.)

I plan on changing alot of the music, so don't yell at me for that. Also, i'm not entirely good at questmaking, so i might need a couple people to help me out if they want their name on this awesome project to be!


And now for some hint time!

Spoiler: Hint 1

There are Five different secrets in the first town alone! Find them All!

Spoiler: Hint 2

All the little kids (most) are part of a side quest that earns you a potion... okay so it's a bad prize, but it's an easy quest, don't complain.

Spoiler: Hint 3

You should save before talking to everyone.... it's very in depth conversations you have, and each choice has a consequence.

the screens are visually boring and your mapping is pretty bland.

And sorry if my mapping or w/e is bland- it's my very first game. Do you have any tips to making it Visually Fun?

Add wildlife. look over the demo that came with Rpg Maker VX and use it as a mapping guide. Your mapping is cheesy. Also RTP is bad, but it's okay, for you first game, and you may be able to pull it off. Also, make custom character-sets, windowskins, and maybe look into some scripts from around the forum. I will not test this demo. Sorry .

 

[moog]

Not really but perhaps you can visit the mapping improvement thread and post some maps for them to critique. You seem like a decent guy so ill give this a spin.

 

[gotxbrains]

Thank you :D

i'll get right on everything you said!

 

[gotxbrains]

what scripts do you recommend?

Um, it seems as if you haven't got a great deal of story yet, just a basic outline. Great enthusiasm, but maybe it's a little early to make a thread.

As everyone knows your mapping blows. I recommend to look over screenshots, when you see one that looks great, and gets great feedback, try to do similar things that that person does. Soon enough your mapping will be good.

Oh by the way, custom characters/art is not needed. It helps, but get your story down before you think about scripts/characters/music.

Ketch~!

I'd suggest, giving your houses doors instead of a wooden sign would be a good start to improve your mapping. (Event Layer, Right Click -> Quick Event Creation -> Door also helps a lot)
As this is your first game, it would be wrong to tell you it isn't very good, as this is quite obvious and normal.
I recommend reading some of the threads in the Tutorial section, especially on mapping and story. They really help. Afterwards, you should try everything out and at the point you really think, you know a lot about Events, Variables, Switches... etc, you start over (probably) or turn this game straight.

 

[gotxbrains]

actually, that is a sign >_> it says that's the shop. I just haven't put the actual door in yet. there are doors though. just can't see em.
