I've decided that there is too much homework projects for me so I will cut a piece of the game out (gasp!) but don't worry, not the story line, I'm not going to have the illustrations and scene pictures and also no facesets because with this team right now it's not going to work out, unless I suddenly get a lot of people join the spriter slot...

Thank you for viewing this topic!

Bumped majorly, I have changed my mind after playing fire emblem, I attempted to make it from scratch but that didn't turn out... So my brother said to try frankenspriting, it worked very well indeed :grin: , so I have been really busy, but progress is halted because my computer crashed and I lost the rpg maker program...

I have decided that making a dating system within the game will be really complicated and will make me add a lot more characters in it. I will however make an ending with each character in the end cutscene.

Thank you for viewing this topic!
 
I like the update, but I have something to tell here. The "Summary", "Characters" and "Story" as well as the others stuff look really hard to read if you ask me. And you could also take out the white background for better looking stuff.

Other than that, it looks like you are progressing pretty well. Are those sprited faces original? They are pretty. ^^

I think that means that he used parts from existing portraits from Fire Emblem, to answer your question. Also, I agree with you that the new subtitles are somewhat difficult to read. Try putting them on a dark background.

Love ~ thanks for the nice comments, as danyo34 said they aren't custom, I franken sprited them, but I'm glad you didn't notice :grin: .

danyo34 ~ Your post makes it feel like your talking to love and me, so you should put who your saying stuff too. I also think that you'd be a lot more popular on ".org" if you ended things with a good notice, just a tip though.

Thank you for viewing this topic!

I updated, I added a character to my story because I felt like it needed a path A, B, thing. So I want some criticism on my new character, I hope his name isn't to hard to say though I don't think it should be a problem compared to Ginistiner. His portrait should come on in a day or two :smile:

Thank you for viewing this topic!

Yeah, ellenor is very awesome. And I'm glad to see that you've come back to game making after so long. You sent me a pm lately, I just wanted to know if your applying for a slot or not?

Bump, I guess, I added Lunere's portrait and added some things to his description, Venier has changed right now, any comments on Lunere?

Thank you for viewing this topic!
 
In Lunere's description, you say he seems nice at first sight. He doesn't look that way to me. He has red eyes, for one thing, and dark hair and armour. What is he training to be? Also, what is the number one organisation in the school that you mention in Abel's description? If Abel doesn't see the need to go to school, why does he do it? Can't he just skip grades if he's smarter than all the teachers and just go straight to university?

Well first of all I don't think that Lunere's eyes are red, also Abel doesn't want to be the smartest person in the world the other things I can't tell you so it is a secret. Lunere is training to fight for his village, as I wrote in the description... Lunere has dark hair which is his natural hair color, his black armour are the colors of his villages flag.

And Lunere is training to become a heavy armour person.

Those questions were very good and quite hard to answer but I found them, I might have just created a thing or too about Abel and Lunere.

Bump, well abreaction has quit the team and has joined another because s/he was getting paid for it, oh well, I guess... I'm also having no ideas on how to attract more viewers, maybe a funny column where you ask the characters silly questions, like "Are Selia's armpit hairs blue?" Believe it or not, danyo34 asked me that one day, but not out of the blue, I was discussing things with him/her. Would that be a good idea? Anyway, I'm trying to learn RGSS but have had no luck whatsoever. I'm looking for a scripter now, not for original scripts but script edits, pm me if you want to be a scripter and I'll tell you what I'd like you to edit.

I actually saw a sub-forum on someone's game-site-thingy where they actually allowed you to ask the characters anything you wanted, and they would answer you (unless it would give something away, then they either wouldn't answer or try to beat around it). I think it did pretty well, actually. The members are trying to get it going again because they liked that idea. :)

I'm pretty sure after you get more done and have something to sure like sprites or screenshots, more people might have things to say. :D I usually read the story, but I enjoy looking at screenshots and menu designs. But that's just me. XD

Doesn't Reives do that on Freebird Games?

Anyway, zchin, I've been keeping my eye on this topic (can't recall if I have ever posted here before or not), and things are looking good. I'd offer to help out, but I have no real talent in scripting, and I have my own project I'm working on. I do wish you luck, however. I don't want to see this project fall off the grid.

Yup yup! That's what I was talking about. I thought it was good idea (and his smilies).

I can't really help out either, as I also cannot script. I'm still learning how to sprite. :) I wish I could help, 'cause I would have the time to help. ^_^;

Well I'm glad that people follow this thread, but I'm still thinking not to do the questions thing, I don't know if it's against the rules or anything, it might belong in the rec room though, so I don't know about that. I'm also glad that you guys would like to help, but I'm sorry that you don't have any abilities, which I think is impossible, because everyone is good a something. I actually don't have rmxp right now on my computer because it broke and I had to re-format it, and I sorta lost the activation code ^_^ heheh... I'm trying to get it back and I e-mailed the enterbrain people but have no luck right now, I'm not sure if I should spend the 60$ again though I might...

This topic is still in the writing phase but it's almost done, I just have to tweak stuff out and fill stuff in, and write those stuff down. I'm thinking of having custom tilesets and stuff, so screenshots aren't really going to come out very soon... However, if I get a scripter or somehow get my hands on the rpg maker XP default scripts then I might be able to make that battle system I've been dying for. I might request it in the script request forum sooner or later, because I still stink at scripting.

I'll try and see what I can do with the tilesets and sprites right now but I guess I can post some of the progress with the Selia character set, which was helped a lot by Perihelion. I might redo it in a different fashion but here is the character set so far:

It's not that I don't have abilities, it's that I don't have abilities in the areas you need help with :p

My strength is, and always has been my story telling ability (and the fact that I think things through, as you'll see if you read either of the concept development threads for my 2 current projects - well one of them kind of got put on hold because I lost all the data for it and I'm reworking the game). I'm learning pixel art and maybe I'll learn RGSS at some point, but I can't help you out with the limited knowledge I DO have.

I know what you mean about the battle system of your dreams. I am the same way, but I have a feeling I'm going to be opening up my wallet to get what I want/need, which isn't going to be much fun. Yay for having complicated ideas.
