very, lol, but it seems pretty neat, idk, my inspiration list isn't all that solid, not that there really is anything to begin with, but oh well :P

crappy doodle in paint XD
Captured Doodle :x lol

Well, even so, I think it's a bit unnecessary. Takes too much space & people won't like to read it :/
 
this looks better everytime I see it. if your working with a team or anything, i'd love to join, i've been looking for an rpg like this to be apart of. I can make character concepts and flash out stories, great at xp mapping, pretty much everything except scripting. I can't do that for nothing lol

Keinaru,

I just like to ask if the one you pm me is your final title though?

xD

xD I was thinking on it . . . but It's just too long, (lol). I'll just stick with this one ^_^

:x Thanks anyways Lonewolf.
Just to say, that there's a new CMS I'm using, I'll post some screenies of it when I can. :x University blocks imageshack & photobucket.

I cant say I find the giant anime cutouts in every scene amusing, but besides that, this looks pretty graphically stable. Good luck with it.
 
Keinaru I remember telling you that the menu's layout is ours and you just nonchalantly ripped it off  100% I don't know what to say :|

All I can say is that we're pissed very pissed off. You just stole someone's hard work. I hope you're glad. I told you don't but you still did. Jesus.

I cant believe how badly unoriginal people are these days. TDS made that menu trying to be as original as possible and here someone just takes it up as a template and balantly copies it.

It's just sad to see that and even sadder not to even mentioned the person who made it in the first place. If I were you I would be original and make my own things instead of stealing the work of others

And by seeing that copy I personally cant expect anything good about your game, if it just copies what it sees in others.

<sigh> fine . . . . I'll remove it, and get my own then.

& I know it still won't make you happy and change your mind about it and I won't make a drama about it, Neither will I post the code for it either.
 
Ok, so a Few Updates:

I'm debating between two CBS, the Old one that's on the first post preview, & this One:


http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/1964/wcdcdwlb2.png[/img]

CTB by Charlie Lee . . . .

Has a feel of Final Fantasy to it with some features, but I'm still thinking of whether putting it or not.  ::) I would most likely won't put it until I know it's not 'private'.

Next Update:

I understand that you may require help. If you need help with an Pixel Poses, I wouldn't mind making acouple poses if it lightens your work load. However take a look away from the project and remove all the Anime. Whats left? Without the Anime, which seems to be the games selling point I assume, besides the story which can not be seen visually by fans, the game looks bland. Sure working on a game is difficult but you make it seem as if one person can not make a good looking game, sure it takes time, but your drive should be to make the best game you can make. Try to make it as perfect as possible, and despite adding some extra time, I may still be set in the past, using RM2k3, but I know I have taken time to animate and create poses for ever situation. Not to say that you are not working hard on the game, but lets be honest, without the Anime the game loses its initial appeal.

Example:

http://www.excalistia.com/images/scs6.png[/img]

This is Excalistia by RPG. The game does not possess any Anime at all, has an interesting story and interesting features. Notice the poses are animated and the games the game looks fairly simple. Imagine if he added Character Portraits to this game, it would simply act as Glam. When you make a game you should establish the foundation basically things such as the Maps, Sprites, etc, etc. The extra details added my Sprite are appealing and fit with RPGs. In my opinion you are simply using the Anime as a selling point, and it seems tacked on to me. Sorry if I sound like an ass, I am just interested in the game this is just my opinion on aesthetics, everyone else seems to love it, but at times going the extra mile is needed. The story sounds good, but if you wanted to make an Anime or Lite Novel you could have simply made one with the Portraits, the Portrait themselves take away from what the game should give Players. You should be Playing the game, because it is well created, has a good story, and likable Characters. Not because it has colorful Anime Portraits. Please just hear me out a bit, I'm not saying remove the Portraits but simply remember that the game itself should win players not some Anime Portraits.  :grin:
oh shut up. "This game contains no poses and has a interesting story" Oh what the hell! The game is great and looks great. Everyone's a critic when they look at perfection.

I suppose it's cool to stomp on valid criticism now? Blind fans are always so amusing.

Also, if you looked at the posting dates, you'd notice that you're around five months late. Nice work.
 
At least its better than that Celestias Ferrum hogwash. Ehm, however anything with an anime intro makes me facepalm / feel like throwing up. I mean anime is just the same crap with a different color.


I can assume without reading anything that.


http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a7/NewAizenGinTosenAnime.jpg[/img]
*Your game has some evil fruitcake villain with a power level over 9000 who wants to take over the world for no apparent reason.

http://www.freewebtown.com/aron06/images/saske.jpg[/img]
*Every chick in the game wants to bang your main character.

http://absolutvanny.googlepages.com/shigurui13.jpg[/img]
*There is going to be alot of explaining crap (bs) that you made up on the spot. (Think naruto explaining chakra systems)


http://lolcat.com/pics/tldr.jpg[/img]
*There is going to be alot of flash backs

http://kingdomhearts.rpgplanet.gamespy.com/kingdomhearts2/media/art/sora.jpg[/img]
*Your main char is some kinda emo legendary fighter that didn't know somehow

http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff172/Sweetist-Sin/Anime%20Friends/1091315444_friendship.jpg[/img]
*There is going to be alot of friendship speeches

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t65/midobanv2/samuraix.jpg[/img]
*There is going to be alot of anime archetypes

http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/530/snapshot20070726175819nu0.jpg[/img]
*There is going to be alot of innuendos

The Whiny Main Character

The Whiny Main Character is just that, a pathetic twat who whines constantly about everything through whatever fruity magical adventure they're on. They only actually do anything if at least 3 other characters are in mortal danger and have spent the last five minutes yelling their name. This archetype was probably meant for nerds to put their faces on so they can think they're the one getting beat-up by the Strong Independent Chick (who always secretly loves them, no matter how much of a fuck-up they are). Nearly every animu has a WMC because Japanese males hate the fact their penises are so small, and they express their impotent rage by projecting themselves onto the character. Most WMCs are of-course male, but can be female, such as in the case of Gunbuster. Other typical characteristics are that they eat more food in one-sitting than all of Africa eats in a year, when faced with a threat they become suddenly "brave", "cocky" and "gallant", is blissfully naive and always enjoys a challenge.
[edit] Notable Whiny Characters

Shinji contemplates becoming an hero


Naruto from...y'know... that series... what was it? Battletoads???


Yugi, or at least one of his bi-polar sides.


Ash(right) getting fucked by Garry Oak(left). IT HAPPENED.!!!
[edit] Strong Independent Chick

This chick's one and only purpose is usually to bean guys over the head with mallets if they suggest a date or sex with anything for any reason. Fanboys laugh their asses off when this happens, but intelligent people will say "That wasn't funny." This character will most likely fall in love with the main character for some reason, no matter how whiny his voice is. She will always express her love with extra abuse. She'll also prevent The Pervert from getting any tang round here. Nearly all fanservice is of these characters. Not to be confused with the introvert.
[edit] Notable Independent Chicks

Nami from One Piece wearing a two piece!


Sakura from Naruto Who are we kidding what is "INDEPENDENT" ABOUT HER?


Misty from Pokemon. Married a bicycle.


Téa from Yu-Gi-Oh.
[edit] Minor Independant Chicks

    * Weeaboo fangirls (they wish)

[edit] The Pervert

This guy will usually steal the panties and/or try to look at girls panties for that oh so needed pantyshot. These characters are meant to portray the average Japanese male. Kawaii ^_________________^.

Groping of breasts is also required of this guy. They get kicked in the nuts by the Strong Independent Chick most often, usually after copping a feel from them. Most characters like this are sniveling man-children who can't even think about a pair of breasts without losing a pint of blood.
[edit] Notable Perverts

Keitaro from Love Hina


Master Roshi from Dragon Ball Z. Has more blood than the Red Cross


Brock from Pokemon. Likely covering up for homosexuality


Miroku from Inuyasha
[edit] Minor Perverts

    * Every adult male in Japan and everyone on 7chan.

[edit] Small Annoying Thing

No series of Annie May can get the OK without having one of these little shits around. Superduperextradeluxe KAWAII!!!!1111 and easily marketed, every single one has some kind of plastic crap in its likeness. They usually can't talk, but if they can, they give advice to the WMC or talk exactly like infants. They all have some dumb gimmick like being obsessed with desserts, or burrowing into the digestive tract of the SIC, triggering an ever-popular colonoscope episode. The Beautiful Airhead is of course drawn to these things.
[edit] Notable Annoying Things

Pikachu from Pokemon. Now do you believe radiation is bad?


Chopper from One Piece


Shinji from Evangelion. Sad but true, a rare double up


Hamtaro, inspires dreams in perverts everywhere.
[edit] Minor Annoying Things

    * Every Pokemon not mentioned above.
    * Mieu the Cheagle, though it is fun to watch him get beat up by Luke.
    * The Noid
    * Every catgirl EVAR!!1!
    * Your penis

[edit] The Pissed Off Guy

The Pissed Off Guy is there to look angry. Due to the limitations of the anime drawing style, however, he usually ends up looking constipated. This guy is always angry, and doesn't care about anything besides fighting or his hair, but is actually always a complete wuss, even compared to the SAT. Usually ends up getting his ass kicked until The Whiny Main Character comes in and saves him with some kind of l33t power/spell/gun. If he was real, you would be sure he'd have a Myspace and be a camwhore. 99% of all slash is between these and WMCs.
[edit] Notable Pissed Off Guys

These guys from Dragon Ball Z


Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh...apparently he's really rich but still can't get laid


Matt from Digimon


Vegeta, again. He's way more pissed than everyone else.
[edit] Minor Pissed Off Guys

    * Possibly everyone else from Dragon Ball Z
    * Every male character in Bleach
    * Kratos from Tales of Symphonia, cuz he's always berating Lloyd and bitching about Anna.

[edit] The Airhead

Usually female, the airhead serves no other purpose other than to stand there and look stupid while a stiff wind blows up her skirt, so we can all see her kawaii panties. She can also be used to distract WMC from the SIC, creating a hilarious misunderstanding. Clothes are an alien concept to the Airhead, as she can never seem to keep them on. Her hobbies include bending over countertops, hanging around practically naked, screaming at pitches high enough to shatter glass, eating frosting, and watching her clothes fall off with a blank expression.
[edit] Notable Airheads

Orihime from Bleach, IQ is believed to be less than zero.


Osaka from Azumanga Daioh


Every girl in Digimon, seriously


Sailor Moon from a show you should already know
[edit] The Introvert

This character is always a girl. She starts off meek and introverted but from the WMC's bravery she learns to "be herself" i.e. completely change her personality and traits. Her hair is always dark purple hair with long bangs. Will always spy on the WMC. With the use of a testosterone, she evolves into a Strong Independent Chick.
[edit] Notable Intoverts

Raven from Teen Titans


Hinata from Naruto. Wasn't good enough to become an SIC...


Shinobu from Love Hina


Girlvinyl from Encyclopedia Dramatica...lie
[edit] The Batshit Insane Guy

This character has no grip on reality. Rarely doing anything constructive and generally confusing the hell out of everyone, the BIG is capable of anything and everything that makes no sense at all. Notable for their powers to store insane amounts of large, random objects up their ass for use when the world is in danger. The BIG often transforms into a Pissed Off Guy when someone points out how crazy they really are.
