The story is cool and I like the title, but what kind of name is Keldur? Also I think you need to change the font.

 

[souldragon19]

Hmm well the Font should be changed, yes it's hard to read im guessing?

Dunno what kind of name is keldur, just sounds weird ^_^

Glad you like it, hope you will try it :P

Looks umm, dark. Maybe brighten it just a bit so we can actually see? or something.

 

[souldragon19]

xD Well the game is supposed to be dark, but objects in the rooms will guide you around, pretty hard though when i was testing the game Gameplay will be nice and visible its only the first few assignments of the game.

 

[Calibre]

When you want your room to be dark llike that, firstly darken the actual tileset in photoshop/GIMP or something and add cosmetic fogs so a bit of moonlight or whatever peers in through the windows. It goves a much better look and feel. Also haven't you taken away all the colour saturation? You can still make out a bit of colour in the darkness.

 

[ablahblah987]

I meant change the font because it looks ugly...

 

[Totti]

this font isn't much better, at least the old one was darkish and mysterious, this one is well, light.
Go with a dark red handwriting font. It should look good.

The problem with that is if i change the tile set and everything and add fog, the character will be in color as the picture shown below.

The room is supposed to be dark, with added darkness in it, it was my intention of making it dark, for the difficulty and the suspence it causes, i think its fine the way it is,but thanks for your suggestion.

 

[souldragon19]

Alright ill find a goood font :D, (most people are complaning about font than the game xD)

SORRY FOR DOUBLE POST ><Q *smack on the head*

No not if you use a cosmetic fog it wont... look in the tutorial section on these forums. I do it in my game, looks fine, check my project thread for images. Experiment with having fogs set to Add and Negative or whatever they are called as well for new affects.

Don't be too sure about your screens not being too dark, I made exactly the same mistake in my game and took a while to listen to the critique it was recieving. Remember that you mapped the level so sure you know what everuthing is, where others may not.

Sounds like a fine project and while I don't really expect storylines from my horror games, something just runs up and busts me in the head:

18 Year old Keldur worked as a bartender for 2 years,

Pretty hardcore kid, working in a bar at the age of 16...

 

[souldragon19]

Ill check it out Calibre Thanks for helping

 

[Calibre]

Sorry I forgot to add as well, that you can darken the hero sprite by exactly the same as you did the tileset and have two or more versions of your characterset that you switch to and from throughout the game. That is just as easy. Doing a horror game well depends massively upon the atmosphere you create for the player.

 

[souldragon19]

*BUMP* XD

 

[CERU]

Another Survival Horror title!

I really think you should work on the story a little bit more. Keldur has been working at a bar for 2 years but he's only 18? And you might not appreciate this comment, but Keldur is an appropriate name for a main character in an RPG but its a little bit strange for a survival horror.

Oh and how exactly are you planning to execute a battle system?

 

[souldragon19]

Im useing Mr.Mo's ABS. Im giving credits when i finish, i tested it and it seems good enough, :thumb: I know Keldur is weird name, but just ignore it :D the game is supposed to be weird ^_^. IM updating the logo for it :D Once you play you can look around the maps for clues on more about the story and the Crazy man there :P.

Hm. I'll be waiting to see how that turns out. Remember that too many RPG elements subtract from the scariness of the game, like with Parasite Eve.

 

[souldragon19]

That's so true ^_^ Parasite evil was made to look scary but it wasn't due to the ATB battle system where your bar fills up and you hit a command around to shoot. plus you learn spells or skills i think o.O.
