Tansred, you dirty little lecher. Don't you know you're much too young for porns? >:0

It's sort of a shame that this isn't original art. It would have been sort of cool, you know?

... And, d'aw, Hanzo's characters are from the same source, too. :x

I suppose that sort of colour and shading job takes a lot more effort than someone can do without getting paid.

Otherwise, it still looks like a solid game -- just make sure to be careful with your English. I can see a couple of perplexing lines in the thread, including but not limited to this:

Bio: Lloid is a quiet person, along in Klyron's Class, He holds a secret from which might lead to a greater plot.

Just watch out for that sort of thing, okay?

I'm sort of scared by the sheer amount of lyrical music in your game. As a rule, music with lyrics rarely goes along well with minuscule people made of pixels, and should be used sparingly (and only with a reason.) It all depends on how you use it, but the discrepancy in the levels of detail is generally too great.

Good luck, though. With all the necessary effort, this should work out really nicely for you!
 
I revive this to update the huge load <3 - It's change due to the fact it makes in a way no sence playig the 2nd without the 1st one -.-;;;
 
Oh... my...

I seriously don't understand how I am not on the 20th comment page. This is amazing!
The way the game is presented along with the beautiful chat system (I like the whole figure instead of just a face) looks great! Especially with the different expressions! The storyline is unique and seems solid.

The only thing that I don't like is using the RTP. I mean it's fine and all, but IMO games seem to lose their luster when it is made with RTP.

ANYWAYS - I can't wait to play!

Edit~I didn't realize that the characters are from another game. I would get to work on your own but they are good placeholders.
 
Used correctly, the RTP can be very powerful, and if you apply fogs and such, it can look pe-retty good. I personally like the RTP, but to each his/her own, I guess.

The game looks amazing! Wow, very nice screens. My only suggestion would be to change the banners in your thread-the ones that label the sections. It's near impossible to read them, and it kinda looks a little weird having the same girl in each one (on the right.) I think you should redo those, and not have the same girl over and over again.

Best of luck!
 
Hmm, I'm guessing you ripped those from the game while battles were playing out, and cleared away the 3D backgrounds. They look terribly inconsistant. But then Seinarukana's battle system is constantly zooming in and out with 3D effects, sooo...That's to be expected.

I can commend you for having the patience to bother trying, but if I were you. I'd just get original battle sprites made to look like the portraits.

Edit: And if you want my reasoning, well then, Sorluska's sprite has an inconsistant, thick, black outline around it which I can only assume is a remnant from the battle background in the original game. And then there's the issue of all three sets looking jpeg-ed.
 
I've come to agree, for a while was thinking there. The errors & reasoning given, I'll agree to them. I'll simply try & work on New battler sprites as you've said.

Thank you for the pointing that out Skie =)

I was just browsing around, and this topic surprised me in how good it is. I can't believe there aren't more posts here yet. The screenshots look very solid, and I would love to download this game once it is finished.

The mapping here looks good, but what I enjoy most is your way of broadcasting an atmosphere. Though you use the RTP, things just look different. Such as the conversation with the "Obsidian Lord" where you tinted the screen and put the bubble-sight dimmer thing, but also dimmed the people who were talking, or that one where two people seem to be in a basement with Hidenki talking, the ceiling tile areas aren't just plain black, theyre striped with a white mist that gives it a flair of difference that is always nice to see.

Good luck on your project, it looks great! I like the plant monsters btw =)
 
Wow! It looks amazing!
The beginning remaining me of Shana and I am fallen in love with the art (Well, you know... Otaku...)


I am really want to play the demo already! Can't wait!

I am only hope that the plot won't be exactly the same as Shana's
