Why do you like me to be banned.
I like rmxp.org soo much like i like rpgrevolution.

By the way thank maneo for editting my game.
I was being half-sarcastic, but the fact remains that you don't seem to care what you say in your posts, consistently ignore the rules, often have nothing new to add to topics but post anyways, and other such stuff.
Exhibits A through ZZ Plural Alpha
Also, poor grammar isn't an excuse for not having read the rules.
 
Gratheo, I love you. (Cuz of the simple review and the video.

Maneo, I dont wanna be mean, but you can't report someone if he is making a joke or being mean. And I'm very sorry, but when you said you are 28, I didnt believe you. You sound like an 8 year old kid who is trying to have some fun with a bad game.

Maybe I  sound repetitive, but I had enough now.

Show some respect for this project, and this thread.
FYI, I can report whatever I want. They edited posts here the last time I did that.
I have the right to defend myself.

New update 15th April 08:
-I have contacted a musician, and I will ask him to make a soundtrack for me.
-Better maps will be posted next week. Stay tuned.
-The 4 sprites I talked about before, are being made by a pro spriter.
-9 more sprites will be made by May.
-I hope to release a better demo in October.
-Story has been rewritten.

Note: We are working hard on this.

I didn´t mean these sprites, there will be custom sprites.

And I do like that forest.
Then please tell me how I can make these maps better.
Give me some hints on what I can improve.

Here's a screenshot of my forest in my project... I am not a very good mapper myself but if you try hard you can do something like what I made right here. You should set something like this as your goal when working in forest maps.

Other than that, your project needs work... Try not to worry too much about your project thread untill you've atleast changed some of your game's aspects or have completed to a certain degree where people will be able to play more than just 5 - 10 minutes of events you've made...

Keep it up :thumb:

EDIT :
Maneo":103dtb6j said:
Note, I started this in January -08.
Wait for the full game.
It will be better after a lot of work.
Give me a chance.

Update:
This game will be done in 2009-2010.

2009 - 2010?! Dude at that time, like RMZP or RMRX, will be out and everybody will be busy playing games on that... :tongue:
RMXP will be like RM2k at that time...
 
@Mustardy85
  I'm glad that at least a few people here actually try to help instead of being immature and repeating the same thing that everyone else has already said. And just a note on your map, In my opinion, i think that the ground is a little too cluttered. I mean, I know that it is in the middle of a forest, but you have a clearly defined path, so it should be at least a little clearer. Also, the tree autotile is really straight, it was the first thing that jumped out at me...Maybe add some different directions to it or something...But that's just my opinion, take it or leave it.

Anyways, back to the project. Just for the sake of all you people who keep attacking/flamming/whatever else...this project is a lot more than just what you see here. A lot of the material here is all a rough design. That would be why it is posted in Early Projects...They came up with this sub-forum just for this kind of a game; the games that are just starting to get off the ground. Just sit back and watch, posting helpful comments when/if you have any, and quit bashing this topic like it is some april fools joke that people are still trying to pull. You just make yourself look immature. This project has a lot behind it that we are not ready to release at this time. When we are ready to release them, we will. Untill then, quit screwing with this project thread like it is nothing. Give the game time to build on what we have. If we released every little thing that we did, it wouldn't be that great of a game now would it?

OMG COOL SCREENSHOT

Venetia: You're on thin ice. Stop being a jerk.
 
Dude, seriously, Stop spamming, it's not funny.

Maneo: Seriously, stop complaining, the project won't be better if we won't tell you the reasons it sucks, this is a FEEDBACK thread, you can't expect everyone to be like "OMFGZ AW3SOM3!!! Can't waait!!"
We haven't just been saying it sucks, we said it calmly at first and you tried to deny it, that's why we're being harsher now. Why did you even make this thread if you expect nothing but positive feedback?

Triforce: There`s no need to be harsh.
I deserve to be treated with respect just like everyone else.

Just be aware of that this is a serious project, and I will
listen to your feedback.
That is the last I will say about this.

Update 16th April 08:
I admit that in the beginning, it was not that serious, but now I have a team, and in the last week
we have made progress on the game.
Even if I wasn´t that serious about it in the beginning, it was still intended to be a full game.
It was a real project the whole time.




It will be at least until 2009 until it´s done. Well-made games take time.

Ok, let´s focus on constructive feedback now, shall we?

-From now on, I will only post updates in this thread.

Info:
New maps will be posted next week.

I do agree, I feel a certain amount of mannerism should in feedback threads. I feel feedback should be polite and impersonal as some of the "feedback" such as the screenshots taken was very insulting, even to people reading the thread.

And Triforce, some of the feedback on this topic was humiliating and very rude, often beating a dead horse, I cannot blame Maneo for getting upset about it. I myself do like critque on to get better, it has helped me alot with my graphics and RMXP resources, but what I cannot stand is when somebody is rude and critiques a piece of work.

I also think people should put their noses down and smell the coffee, there's a fine line between critque and rudeness. You can't force your critique on someone.


Maneo, has your game got any scripts? Another thing that would improve in my opinion would be other sprites instead of the heavily used RTP.

Sorry if I sound repetitive, but you simply CANT report a reply because the person made a joke...
Now lets look at the new thread, I will edit this.

Mr_Smith: Yeah, but I felt people were harassing me a little.
I don´t have to take that. I have the right to defend myself. It´s my right.
I´m still very patient with your comments.
I have the right to report if someone insults me.

I´ve studied at a university, and this is insulting to me, as a 28-year old man
with a job to take care of.
Nothing you say will change that.

Rules:
"If you feel that the poster is giving you a negative response as a personal attack then report their post instead."
Saying that this is a joke, like Scorpius did, is like a personal attack, I wasn´t talking
about Colonist540:s joke.
I can report things like what Scorpius said(see earlier in thread).
Let´s just drop the subject, ok.

Quote Mr_Smith:
And I'm very sorry, but when you said you are 28, I didnt believe you. You sound like an 8 year old kid who is trying to have some fun with a bad game.


Maneo says: That was a mean thing to say.
Leave this thread alone.
You call that a joke?








I should be allowed to defend myself in the thread.

Constructive feedback and a mean comment are two different things.

I will never take any shit from you.
Please post constructive comments.

-No offense, rmxp.org team, but it is a "stupid" rule that you can´t complain about criticism.
It´s one thing that you should listen feedback, but you shouldn´t have to take bullying and mean
comments. I should be able to report WHENEVER someone makes a mean comment.
I have feelings too, you know.
At least, I should be allowed to defend myself in the thread.

News! 16th April 08:
Chains of Fate is making 4 custom sprites for this game, for the main characters.
I´ve paid for this, which shows my dedication in this project.

Yeah... Welcome to the real world. People aren't care bears, and they never will be. Some people express their opinions in a very blunt manner, and don't care for the feelings of the game producer mostly because you're making a game you want others to play (I assume). And as the consumer they can express what they do and don't like. For example, a horrible movie comes out; we'll use "House of the Dead" as an example. That movie was THRASHED by critics and fans alike, and the director was insulted for making such a piece of crap movie. The only difference is you're not charging the player to play the game (I don't think). If someone comes in here and says "I hate you burn in hell" sure that's an insult that doesn't have much to do with the game, but if someone says "These maps suck harder than a 40yr old porn star" it means your maps aren't good. Don't cry about it, just accept the fact he doesn't like your maps and move on, or even better yet improve the maps and say “Ok, how about now?â€
 
Looks much better. Though a few gripes: the trees are kind of spaced out evenly. The shadows arent transparent. The paths should be a little more laid out, easier to see, not just placed randomly through trees.

Maneo, sidenote: Please stop taking criticism as a personal attack. People can tell the truth without being milk-and-honey about things, and since you've taken every opportunity to be standoffish and defensive, I don't think many people will put in the extra effort to sound nice. Would you bend down and pat a dog that looks like it's going to gnaw your face off?

You do deserve to be treated with respect, just like any other member here -- you also deserve honest reviews. What you're seeing isn't a lack of respect. People sometimes assume a certain tone of voice when they're getting exasperated at someone (i.e. when that someone makes it clear that he/she cannot take criticism,) or when someone looks as if they're not making an effort to understand what people are saying/make a good game. Instead of getting angry, prove them wrong by taking criticism graciously and putting sincere effort into what you do!

My bottom line here is that you should calm down and face the slings and arrows a little more stoically. No matter who started what, I'm seeing a lot of immaturity on both sides, and your reactions are definitely escalating things. Don't get involved in a flame war -- they're only fun for the people on the sidelines.

Your mapping has improved a great deal, however. Just keep listening to people when they give advice (and stop by the Tutorials section when you can) and you should be good.

It's strange, though -- the shadows under the trees are totally opaque. When you import a tileset into the editor, make sure that you right-click the shadows underneath objects (in that little window that pops up to set transparencies) so that they're only semi-transparent.
