Silent Hill Chronicles [RMXP]

[Vercetti]

Ok.. Before EVERYTHING... There are some things that all of you must have in mind before reading this post...

1- Like many non english-speaking guys.. excuse my terrible english... it has been like three years since i don't practice it in any special institution.. so my only everyday training is watching House and Two & a Half Men without subtitles (ok, that was a joke xD... but i think you got the point huh?... Try to understand what i'm saying n.n...)

2- Like many other noobs... This is my first solid project... don't worry, this doesn't mean that i started it last week... I started it like... 10 months ago... I'm not saying this to just calm your comments... i need comments...

3- Probably all of you will notice it, but the project it's in Spanish D: ... maybe when a finish it, i'll think about some... language patch?...

4- The "Alpha" Demo... SUCKS... so don't judge the project with that... thing... i made the alpha in the first week of job... and i'm only leaving it so everybody can notice the change...

Let's Begin =)...

Yes.. headers are in spanish... but c'mon.. they are not that hard to understand xD

Alex Belmont, is a reporter from the Brahms' diary, in day like any other one, he is
send to Silent Hill, to investigate about a series of unexplaineds traffic accidents
ocurring lately.

In his way, Alex, it's caught by some dense and heavy fog in late night, so he decides
to take a sidetrack, looking for a shelter until next day, in a small rural town in the outskirts
of Silent Hill... Toluca's Hill.

As soon as Alex enters Toluca's Hill he stumble with some disturbing and bizarre things
dispersed around the town, without knowing that he is entering in a place worst than his
scarier nightmare.

Alex Belmont:

The game main character, his personality is usually calm, sometimes even fresh in some aspects, his behavior can change depending on how we answer the Psych Profile, he is a Brahm's Diary reporter that gets into the mysterious events sorrounding Toluca's Hills... Despite looking like an ordinary guy, we will know more about him as story progresses.

Victor Skyell:

He is an agent of Brahms' Police Departmen (*Cough* *Cybil* *Cough*... Nah, i'm joking xD.. he is different =D). He meets Alex in Toluca's Hills outskirts. He is somewhat egocentric, thus choosing go on his own than taging with Alex, though he will help Alex in some situations because their goal is the same...

Those were the ones that you should know about now.. the others are waiting for you ;D...

It's okay.. but it feels.. so off with using those anime looking RMXP sprites.. it would look better to use like.. pre rendered models or something..

Just my opinion though.

Oh! and you need to add fog, so you can't see things too well till you get to it.

Also why is everything in.. spanish or what ever?
Is their a video in english?

Yes, many people have told me that... about the faces too... But damn.. i have growth affection for them in all this time that i can't think about a change or something xD

There is fog... but is not that dense xD...

Also why is everything in.. spanish or what ever?

Hmm... Maybe because... I'm Venezuelan and i speak spanish? xDD...

Is their a video in english?

Not for now u_u...

 

[Mikepjr]

yeah everyone is used to using them.. its cool.. just would look better without the cute like sprites..
Um.. lets see.. i could not tell the fog was there... i started working on a SH game once with XP but i stop cause i could not make everything.. but its cool
Nicely done for the most part.

 

[Magicant]

Can't read Spanish, don't care.

 

[saikyo765]

Well I for one think it looks awesome. I only played silent hill 2, and silent hill 4. The mapping is very detailed and the atmosphere is great for survival horror. The sprites don't bother me, I am glad you chose HK rather than some small little rtp that you cant even see. xD

can we expect to see monsters from the retail games or will it be new monsters all together?

eithier way ill be keeping my eye on this. keep it up.

 

[Luthur]

I think there may be a new rival entering our survival game contest saikyo

This look amazingly well made. The tileset graphics work really well together, and you've got just the right sence of atmosphere needed. I'd say you've got the right layering of fog, there's no reason to go over the top. I know it's already been said that the anime style doesn't work, but I think the sprites themselves do, it's just the face sets that really stand out. You could do with changing them into a more realistic style.

But other than that, this looks great. Please get an english copy ready when you release it.
Good job.

Omg..! My Game is getting praised by the creators of Last Man's Stand & Dawn of the Fallen... Now i may rest in peace :grin:

Answering:

1- Well.. for now there are only some edited Cor Leonis sprites... because i suck at Pixel Art... But i've made a Pyramid Head, soon i will post a screenshot =D... Maybe in the future there will be original monsters, if i find somebody that knows how to sprite well... Or if i learn how to xD...

2- I'm glad somebody is at my side with the sprites xD... they are way better than RTP... The early and shitty ALPHA of the game contained RTP sprites... (Click if you wanna have a look)

3- Thanks, thanks..! Yeah, i think that at least i made a nice atmosphere =D

4- Yeah.. The portraits don't fit at all... but like the sprites.. there are 2 options.. i find somebody that knows how to draw well... or i must learn how to D:

5- I really will..! Along with the spanish original i will release an english version ^^

EDIT:

Also, here is a screenshot of the Inventory...

I know it kinda sucks xD... I tried to made it by events (I know how to use events a lot more than scripting), but, i had problems with some enemies (when you quit the menu, the enemy respawn in it's original location and with full life D, so i started making it with my poor RGSS abilities (And when i say poor... it's very poor xd), there are many things that i must add... like HP and status... and maybe categorize items (Weapons, Files, etc...) and equipped weapon...

 

[kqurmiz]

Looking foward..

 

[corleonis]

wow... that's all I can say, you have no idea how happy I am to see my sprites used by someone especially as well as you have used them.

if you ever need sprites making for Silent Hill I would be more than happy to make them as most of them took about a day to make so... there's no problem with time, I have also got a hospital boss made who is original and I have started a ragnarok size pyramid head.

just let me know if you need any sprites because this has got me really exited

thanks

Wow..! Thanks, you have no idea how happy i am to see that an incredibly good pixel artist like you commented at my thread =D... Especially, because when i discovered the existence of Silent Hill sprites for RMXP (Yours xD) is when i started this =D... I'll be happy to see a larger Pyramid head in the future :3...

By the way, I'm changing the course of the game, it will not be a Silent Hill anymore, i'm going to make it original, so i can develope the story and background as much as i want without depending on the Silent Hill universe, the main story and characters will mostly stay like they are, but i'm going to change the title and locations and things like that, SeeYa =D

 

[obsorber]

I worked on a survival horror myself released as Project Viral. I have to say that this game is looking sweet. I'm not really a fan of fan games but the quality of this game established on the thread has caught my attension. Good job. I will be downloading soon.

Thanks, also, i'm remaking some aspects of the game... So it's going to be original... Yeah, that means, no more Silent Hill Fan Game but original indie-game :3

PD: Menu Again =D
