I have an old demo, but it looks bad.

There won´t be a demo until October, so just look at the updates until then.
Well-made games/demos take time to make.

I will post the demo when it´s ready.
(The full game won´t be released until next year, at best)

You've had a few months to work on this , and you havn't even prodcued anything like a demo. Getting real tired of waiting for a demo of gameplay , man.

What the hell? He started this like last month. Let the man work, no sense on riding his back for a demo, its his project you know.

Also, the wizard king wants to destroy the humans, and seeks to control
all magic spirits in the world.

What? Where the fuck did this come from?

I have never laughed so hard at something on this forum. Brilliant post.

Not that I really care but.

Note, I started this in January -08.

He has been working on it since January. Though why Doc is trying to rush anything or become impatient is beyond me.

You shouldn't really have to go back to school you did read right....Yes, the project has been underway since January, but only in the last couple months has it really taken off into an actual, full-out game. This thread was created March 21, I belive, so about a month. Don't rush for a demo though, like others have said before, it takes time to release a good game. Give us some time and watch the updates. Although I will say this, the game has progressed a lot since the old demo that was released before. With some luck, we may get the demo out well before October, although no promises. I am working on remaking the intro right now, and we have other members remaking the opening maps. Once we get enough done, we will release a demo, so be patient.

Ot:Chains of fate is the designer of Chrono Crisis, and Lightningstrike is a photoshop wizard.
I believe both are members on this site.

Right! Thanks for the update... Although I'm not too sure that we can call these guys 'Legends' they have experience and skill... but not enough to go down in history...

Lol... Same here.

 

[Grathea]

Thanks, guys! I feel appreciated now. So, I guess I should do the same to a bunch of other new topics?

On topic:

Well, at least you're determined... This should be interesting to see once finished.

The last 2-3 weeks I´ve been working almost every night on this.
I´ve invested money in this too.
I´m working very hard on this.

I´m on the forums, because I want to check on my thread, and read some tutorials.
I also use your comments to get some inspiration.

Hello guys!

I'm Manetheren and I'm involved in the Sira-Project. The game is in production and the demo is just a taste of what to come. We have a lot of plans and are working hard with music, graphics, story and more. Everyone in the team works hard to improve the game. I hope, and think, that the complete game will be a pleasant gaming-experience!

You know, I love how everyone said this project was going to fail, or it was at least going to suck. then Maneo comes out and says that he has invested money on this and suddenly he gets all this repect. Pretty sad if it takes money to make people become polite and supportive.

He got his respect because he is determined at what he is doing and isnt being a douchebag about it. Money has nothing to do with it.

In the begining, yeah, it LOOKED like it was gonna fail cause it had a really terrible demo. It sounds like its going well now so I give commend him on that.

Good luck Maneo.

Update:
4 custom spritesheets will be made in the next few weeks(for the main characters).
I will show you the sprites for those when it´s done. 
Xgamexfreakx is right now making an intro for the game.

No...I just think that if he is investing money in it, he must think it's a good game, and you can't have a good game unless the creator actually likes it. If the creator doesn't like it, then chances are most people won't either.

EDIT: Hey Maneo, quick question, what exactly are you investing the money in?

...Now that I think of it... I actually am kinda curios too, exactly What ARE you investing money in?

 

[Maneo]

I´m investing it in custom sprites.

Hi Maneo

I'm sorry that so many folks seem to like spamming sarcastic criticism here devoid of any sort of constructive feedback whatsoever.  I'm happy at least a few of these comments were helpful.  And I commend you for being mature about it and trying to accept the feedback and improve your game.  I'm going to try and give you some pointers on your mapping, as I've been learning a lot lately about how to make maps visually appealing.

-As someone else stated, using rounded or diagonal autotiles really helps.  Here is a link to a nice assortment of rounded/diagonal autotiles.
-A lot of times, learning how to map well comes from playing games and taking screenshots of maps that you like... then learning how that person made those maps.  Have you played "Imagine a World"?  It's a game in the Completed Games section made by Adrenaline Rush.  I think the mapping is very nicely done in this game, and there's a lot you could learn by checking it out.  This demo really shows you how much can actually be done with the RTP graphics. 
<img src="http://www.solarsoft.nl/gamecraft/uploads/screenshots/559-172-1199476589-phpCUKLTH.jpg">
Look at this map for example.  Notice how he gives the map depth by adding several layers of rocky mountains and a couple waterfalls in the background.  He also places vegetation (trees, grasses, bushes) randomly around the map framing the central area in a more realistic fashion.

-If you haven't done this already; combining tilesets together allows you to have more variety in creating your maps.  The "Ultimate RTP Exterior" and "Ultimate RTP Interior" are nice examples of this.  Do a search for either/both of these (or perhaps someone here knows someplace you can download them from?), or make your own combined-tilesets.  That way you'll have access to a wider variety of trees, shrubs, etc. and it will look more realistic. 

Good luck with your game, and again... take the immature remarks with a grain of salt.  Most of the people here have never finishd a game, nor worked a day in the game industry.  The only thing that matters is that you have a goal and you work towards finishing it.  You don't even need to invest a whole lot of money in it or anything, you just have to be open to honing your skills (you'd be surprised how much you can learn just from playing other folks games, reading tutorials, and working on your own game).
