[RMVX] Oracle

[Skyla Doragono]

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c391/ ... oracle.png[/img]

A paladin and a dark knight, a bitchy white mage and a queer black mage, a world in crisis, tributes to games of old, and a chaos goddess in human form make up the general recipe of what Oracle is shaping up to be.  I will admit that I don't really have a set plot -- I was just playing around with VX, and ended up making a story somehow -- so expect updates often as the story... just writes itself.  O_O;

~CHARACTERS~

Spoiler: The Heros

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c391/SkylaDoragono/oracle/Actor1-6a.png[/img] Rebecca
An inexperienced paladin connected to a small church on an island, Rebecca closely follows not only her faith, but her own feelings.  She is sent by Father Daniel to a small shrine to investigate an odd air coming from it...

While you play as Rebecca, the story is actually told through the eyes of the dark knight, Oracle.  Stubborn to a fault, he avoids people like Rebecca for the "obvious reasons".
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c391/ ... or3-6a.png[/img] Irial
Irial of Imial isn't like most princesses.  She's stubborn, headstrong, arrogant, and just down right bitchy.  What makes it worse is that she's also a white mage.  How she managed to pass her training is anyone's guess.
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c391/ ... or2-5a.png[/img] Jareth
MAGIC PANTS!  Jareth couldn't be any more flamboyantly gay if you handed him some crystal balls.  Despite his questionable character, he's a powerful black mage, though that doesn't keep Oracle from threatening bodily harm every time Jareth hits on him.

Spoiler: The Good Guys

Father Daniel and Miss Callie
The brother and sister seers are the head Father and Sister of the island church that Rebecca serves.  Father Daniel is a kind and gentle soul, while Miss Callie is mysterious, almost unnervingly so.  Miss Callie has much more talent as a seer than her brother does.

The Crown Prince, Ian
The crown prince of Imial and Irial's brother.  Though you just see him sleeping in the beginning of the game, he proves himself a powerful ally after his sister joins your quest.

The Wandering Idiot
A harmless fellow that wanders around the world just to see common monsters... and then drinks himself into stupidity when he realizes just how common they are.

Spoiler: The Bad Guys

Mysterious Cloaked Figure
You see him in the opening of the game.  Seemingly the leader of the Order of Waking, there's not much else known about him...

The Order of Waking
"Not nice guys", to quote Oracle, who left the Order for reasons he keeps to himself.  Demonists, Archanists... if you know things that are only whispered about in dark corners, then you'd probably love these guys.

~SCREENSHOTS~
I went a little bonkers with the screens... >>;;;

Spoiler: Mysterious beginnings...

Spoiler: Wait, who changed the script?

~DEMO?~
Coming soon, believe it or not.  The game pretty well writes itself, so things are going pretty quickly.

Looks really awesome, Atemu!  Thankfully, you actually know how to make the best use of the maker's RTP.  This is an excellent example of what can be done even in the simplest form.

Well done I can't wait to see more!

 

[Xephyr]

Very very very win.

Enlarged faces ftw.

Random dragon ftw.

Miniscule boats ftw.

 

[Crystalgate]

Wow, first Marcus' project and now this! This is a good start for the RMVX.

 

[craybest]

A whiny bitchy white mage and a flamboyant gay black mage? that's pretty original.
The screens are allright I guess, nothing much to say there.
good luck with this

 

[Xathia Vastar]

Ahh! Irial looks like Deedlit! :P
Anyway, the game looks pretty fun! ^_^

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Thanks, guys.  ^_^

And, just because I'm a bitch... (some people will understand)

Spoiler: OMG I'M WALKING ON A MOUNTAIN!!!!

[craybest]

I get it, but there's a problem in the upper right with the cliff, the "non-passable" cliff should go 1 tile up

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Uh... what?

 

[Xephyr]

Thanks, guys.  ^_^

Hahahaha.

That was great.  Now the lousy reatards can go shove who think you can make decent cliffs in VX.


Good work Atemu.

 

[Rare]

I think it looks better that way

 

[Skyla Doragono]

*bows*  Thank you, thank you.

EDIT: Uh... yeah, I see... what's wrong with it?

 

[craybest]

compare my screen to yours, the part with the giant red arrow?
if the non passable wall cliff is 1 tile upper than the passable one, the walls should stop one tile higher too.

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Uh, yeah, it would... if it were attached to the wall.  But considering it's not at that point, no it wouldn't be.  :|

 

[craybest]

then it's physically correct, although it creates some visual problems, is there a reason why it isn't  attached to the wall?
because people might think it's just a mistake.

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Uh... because it's not attached to the wall?

And so far, you're the only person that's bitched about it.  Peon.  :|

no, your just dumb.  your version looks like a mistake.

sorry bubba

 

[craybest]

all right, I was just trying to give an advice, because I thought it was helpful, of course you don't have to follow it if you don't like it.

 

[punched2death]

Looks good, I like the idea of a complete contrast to the mages personalities.
Bitchy white mages ftw!
May I just ask, what is the sideview battle system you are using?
