Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon: The RPG

You most definitely should. ^^ The story is based on the manga, live action, and my own twists so it will be a much deeper, action packed experience than anything you saw in the anime.
 
I have one thing to say. Watch out for dem floor tiles in the moon palace. You can see clearly in the screenshots that the resolution of the floor tiles and everything else clash.

*Sniff...* This is a fan game that I'm sure is going to hit hard! looks awesome!

Will the game follow the show, and if so, will it follow it episode by episode?

Also, I would love to see an Umino sprite! (geek kid from the begining of the series)
 
Whoa wait so where's the Chrono game I've been waiting for years 2 play? but anyway on topic, they're not to many of these around, and based on the way Chrono was looking this should be pretty good.
 
The game will mostly be following my own story elements and the manga, but tidbits from the anime, live action, and musicals are being thrown in.

Chrono Crisis is still very much in development. I'm working on both projects together.
 
So everyone knows, the game is going to be released by story arc. With each new release, the game will contain the current story arc and the previous releases in one. Game stats will transfer, and you will have to play the story arcs in order.

Is anyone out there interested in coding a menu system and battle system for the game? I really need a scripter!
 
Major update!

Next I'll cover my plans for the menu. It will look like a cell phone, and as such, have features that real cell phones have incorporated into the features that all RPGs have.

*At the beginning of the game, the game will ask you if you are a boy or a girl. If you select girl, the menu will be pink, if you select boy, the menu will be blue. I may or may not include a feature where you can eventually unlock more looks for the outside border of the menu.

The menu is split into numerous parts. (For now I only have a picture of the equip menu.)

1. Items
2. Equip
3. Techs
4. Status
5. Party
6. Internet
7. Options
8. Save
9. Camera

I. Items
Items are organized in different tabs by category.
Categories: Items, Equipment, and Key Items.

II. The Equip Menu

(Click for larger size) (Also note that fonts aren't finalized and I know the white font looks funky. ^^; )

(The green will be invisible and you'll be able to still see the map you're on. Also, as noted further below, the background is changeable.)

In Equip, you can change your party members equipment. As you change equipment, the equipment on the sprite representing the party member changes to. Though the in-game sprite of the party members transformed does not change based on equipment normally, there are special armors that can their appearance.


III. Techs
In Techs, you can check what techs you've learned, learn new techs, and level up techs you've already learned. Techs are learned by using TP (Tech Points) on a grid. You start with one tech and expand to other techs that in turn branch out to other techs.

Once you learn a tech, you can expend more TP to level them up to a max level of 10. As they power up, they increase in power, and sometimes can change in ways such as adding poison to the enemy/enemies affected.

Some techs can only be opened for acquiring once you've leveled up previous techs learned.


IV. Status
In Status, you can check your party members statistics, see what equipment they have equipped, what techs they've learned, and look at/change the outfit they are wearing.


V. Party
In Party, you can change party members and party order.


VI. Internet
In Internet, you can do the following:

1. Check text messages
-As you progress through the game, you will receive various text messages. Some are important to the story and others are just for fun.
-With certain text messages, you will be able to submit a fixed reply out of a few choices, up to 3 different ones.

2. Access your dictionary of people, places, terms, etc.
-With the dictionary, you can look up information on people you've met, places you've been, terms you've heard, and a few other categories.
-For those who are unfamiliar with certain names, every person, place, and term will have the name used in the game, also telling what name was used in the American Dub of the anime, the original manga/anime names, and the American translation of the manga.

3. Listen to music bought/found.
-Throughout the game you can buy and find CDs. You can listen to those CDs here. Some CDs are special and can only be acquired through side quests or stealing them from enemies in battle.

4. Play minigames that you've acquired.
-Through certain events you can acquire games to play in the menu through the TeletiaS company.
-These games can only be played when you're at a save point.
-The first minigame that is automatically unlocked during the course of the story is the "Sailor Soldier Quiz" minigame. You compete by answering questions on Sailor Moon trivia. There are various levels of difficulty for each character. Beating a level earns you a prize.


VII. Options
In Options, you can:
-Change the background of the menu
-Change how loud music/sound is
-Change whether or not you want to hear a confirmation sound when you receive a text message
-Change the confirmation sound if you have selected to hear one
-Change the look of the message window in dialogue


VIII. Save
In Save, you will be able to save the game if you are at a save point.


IX. Camera
In Camera, you will be able to look at pictures you've taken.
-At any time while you are walking around, you will be able to take a picture by pressing a specific button and it will be recorded in your phone.
-A maximum of 50 pictures can be saved.


And there you have it! ^^ Please look at the equipment menu picture to understand what it will look like, and let me know if you have any ideas for it, or if you really just don't like something. XD

*If there are any coders who would like to help, please PM me and let me know. I will provide all graphics you need and detailed instructions on how I want everything.
 
Wow. That's a big update, I almost thought this project was neglected. :<

I don't really like your menu thing, though. Why limit it to the gender you chose? Why not just have a system that allows you to change to whatever menu you want regardless of the gender you select?
 
I'll most likely make it where you can pick what color you want. I just figured it might be simpler to have the game ask if you're a boy or a girl at the beginning and set the default accordingly.

But you will get to choose which color you want. I may even go ahead and make a lot more colors to choose from in the beginning too, it just depends.

But thanks for your input-I definitely want to know how people would prefer it, because I know not all girls will want pink and boys blue.
 
Yes. Some in-game sprites are major major edits of graphics from Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon: Another Story for SNES, but most are made completely from scratch.
 
Awesome! When I was small I used to collect all Sailor Moon merchandise, and now you remake them to a game! I'll look forward for this game, and good luck with your project XD
