Octamo

Spoiler: story

(1874)
After declaring a glorious victory against the invading country Teribia, the country Velvora has been rebuilding their country from the devasting war. Yet there have been numerous reports of a extremely contagious virus called the Octamo. This so called virus is said to turn people into ruthless creatures.

(1875)
There has been numerous rreports of people turning into creatures from the virus, Octomo. The government suggests that the country Teribia has made this virus in order to weaken Velvora. It is rumored that Teribia has secret agents around the country speading this virus and infecting people.

(1876)
People are in a state of fear as the virus, Octomo, quicky spreads across the country. Many people have suffered from this disease yet the country cannot seem to stop it.
The government of Velvora has issued a bill that people who are thought to be infected by this virus must be sent to "camps" in order to stop further infection to society.

-and so the history books say

It is the year 1903 and fear is the antibiotic to the virus, Octomo

Bre
Bre is one of the people sent to these so called "camps" due to her being infected by the virus. After being sent to camp A.1.7. she waits in hope that something good may come upon her.

Bre is may be more timid than the rest of the party, but she is headstrong and has the determination to solve any conflict at hand. With that said she is very quiet about her problems and rarely does she share them with the rest of the party.

Grey
Grey meets up with Bre later on in the story. Grey is very couragous but does not think things through, which causes his allies a lot of problems. He is very sociable and speaks his mind. He may not be the smartest person in the group when it comes to decisions but his quick, wild solutions come in handy when the group seems to need it most.

Your story seems kind of interesting (at leats it is not the typical find the crystals stuff). But for now it is only a back story. I know the situation, but not how your characters are involved, or why it is intersting to watch the fate of those characters. What makes it more interesting than anybody elses?

Your character as they stand now are not very well developed. I mean I know who they are, but that can't be all can it? Don't they have some chracteristics? Bre is iven none in your description. What is she like? Any bad habits or something? Try to make your characters alive.

Your mapping is a bit boring. Your maps look to ampty and have to much open space. For example the first screenshot: This cell is way to big. If it is that big I would suppose that there are several prisoners in there, but it seems that it is only her...
Maybe you should look at some tutorials or post in the mapping improvement thread.

This has potential to become a decent game, but you need some work.

Hope this helps

Bre is iven none in your description. What is she like? Any bad habits or something? Try to make your characters alive.

Well the reason why I cannot develop Bre is because how she develops is ultimately your decision. Throughout the game, there are a large amount of choice you make that affect Bre's personality. Certain scenes may appear depending on if she makes good, bad, or neutral choices. I see what your saying though and I will try to expand on her to the best of my abilites.

Alrighty all try to put more in my mapping. ^_^

Your story seems kind of interesting

Why thank you! ^_^

Abot the mapping: It would help a great deal if you just made them smaller.

also, in regards to this, you should avoid using lighter tiles to suggest rays of light. it generally is more trouble than its worth.

and if those bars are supposed to be set into the wall, I'd open up an image editor and replace the crossbar on top with more bars. you shouldn't be able to see the top of something at 3/4 view if it's set into the wall.

mawk also forgot to mention that the cell is extremely big for no real reason, unless they stuff as many criminals as possible into that cell but there's only one bed.

And no kid, you don't need some help; you need to practice more and get more used to using RMXP. From the looks of it, you're new to game-making and the program in general, so practice more and read up on scripting/spriting. (I'm saying this also because it's unlikely you'll be able to recruit anyone on a beginner's project.)

Yes, I know the cell is too big, Ill fix it.

In April, i will be 1 year i've been using it. I guess I'm sorta new. I kinda like just sprang out of the blue on RMXP.ORG though.

practice more and read up on scripting/spriting

Well I have been practicing spriting. I'm workin on a custom tileset. Someone helping me though will cut my work in half. ^_^
