About him: Paul isn't very close with Nathan. He just spends his time by playing all of his toys. He doesn't care about Nathan being lonely, sitting in a corner and doing nothing.

What exactly is the difference between the "story mode" and the "game mode"? I'm assuming that there is actual playability in this one, correct? Having two different threads open that are almost exactly the same is a bit redundant but if there is a substantial difference between the two versions then I might let it slide. I would have preferred that you just add the download and some info stating how it is different in the old thread since virtually everything about it is the same or pretty close, and the threads are copy and pasted from each other.

I don't really pay much attention to rm anymore, but I think I should tell you regardless that this story is melodrama to the ridiculous. I can't read it without seeing it as an ego-projection of your experience in what you think is an unfair life (whether or not that's a fair assessment,) and it doesn't really seem a lot like the sort of story that can carry a piece -- we all know the kid is gonna go through sad Circumstances and wind up with a present at the end of it, and everything in between seems like Jane Eyre-calibre martyrdom.

This game is about a boy named Nathan who still hasn’t got a present for twelve years. It will be his thirteenth birthday on December 25. His brother, Paul always gets a present from his parents because of his parent’s favoritism on Paul.
I mean, come on, you can do better than this. it's insanely maudlin.
 
UPDATE:
• Story Update!
• Mapping and scripting is done!!

The game will be release in the last week of May.
 
UPDATE:
• Added New Scripts

FUTURE UPDATES:
• Screenshots will be updated..
• Release will be soon!

@lordthom:
I can't seem to understand what are you trying to say... Please make it clear..
 
There is a certain atmosphere over this project that might turn out good. it's hard to say anything about this kind of games before you actually play them. Once your game or demo is posted i think you'll get alot more replies. Keep working ;)
 
UPDATE:
• Screenies update!
• Credits and Feature update

@gRaViJa:
Thanks for that! Don't worry, the release will be soon..
 
Oh, no reply.

While bumping is ok in the other forums, it isn't so much in Project Threads; try only to bump if the first post is updated or if the bump post is actually content (i.e. outlining an update). ~Wyatt
 
UPDATE:
• Screenies update!
• Added new feature : Who's with me System

GAME UPDATE:
• Middle stage of developing started!
• Final Scripts and Graphics are settled!
 
No real good criticism on story and such, but i think the rtp looks terrible with much of this tileset, you might want to work with a smaller character template and use simpler graphics to match better.

An example of what i mean. I'm not trying to make you use this template believe me, but i only have this character and the template is small so you see what i mean.

I may sound retarded, but I can't find that last flower, lol

And I think the graphics are great

some parts of the music seems out of place - the oriental ones

but pretty good so far from what I see
