This... actually seems pretty interesting.   I'd like to see some full screenshots though.

 

[bradleydfc]

@Atemu: Thanks I'll try to get up a screnshots. A couple full ones from the forest and that. Oh and the full title screen (by brandonrichard).
I'll put them in spoilers.

I agree with Atemu here. Intriguing story, characters with actual depth instead of cardboard cutouts, free roam instead of linear...
Me like. Good luck with this! :thumb:

 

[Mundane]

No...you have the same two sprites for main characters as my game! Oh well. Public graphics. You've presented this really well and I can't wait for a demo. This is the first promising VX title I've seen yet.

This is the first promising VX title I've seen yet.

Y- you're so cruel. ;_;
What about meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

 

[bradleydfc]

@Mundane:
lols I get ya. I wonder how the descriptions match up? Try to post up your project, I'd love to see it.

@King of Red Pancakes:
Thanks for the comment. I really wanted to flesh the characters out, to make them seem realistic. A key thing I wanted was for all of the characters to have relationships with each other. Not only does this add realism but it gives a sense of emotion, which I really want players to feel with this game's story. For not only does it tell the tale of a land plagued with an economic crisis, but also how it affects the civilians of the country. Such relationships are Gabriella and Kessica (hatred and jealousy over Bryan), Kessica and her father (a unique bond through the sword), Bryan and Kessica (the typical brother sister relationship) and Gabriella and Rawdie, an interesting one which shows how well Bryan's girlfriend and his mother get along. Anyways not giving away just too much yet.

Thanks for all the feedback so far.

This is the first promising VX title I've seen yet.

Y- you're so cruel. ;_;

<3  -- Thank you very much.


Oh, and folks, please enjoy the new screenshots. Bare in mind, most of them are from the forest and the cavern inside the forest.
So far they are from the two main locations in the first chapter, so it's good for you to see these first. Today, I plan to plan the first and last cut scenes of the game, then make them. After that it should just be a few testers here and there and the demo should be up. Thanks again!

 

[Mundane]

Heh, they just happen to be brother and sister like yours. But I replied to your PM, so don't worry about changing it or anything.

 

[Mirku]

This seems promising.

Amusing name for your villain, slecht is Dutch for Evil.  :tongue:
It's an interesting concept for a game, the whole moving out because of poverty thing I mean.

So good luck  :thumb:

 

[bradleydfc]

Wow someone found out the evil thing!
Yeah that's how I got his name. It sounded evil and yet quite speedy, two of his main attributes. Haha!

Alright, check the first post for all of the screenshots I am going to release for Chapter I.
In fact, bar one tini area and a mini game, I am all done with my first chapter!
Therefore I'm going to need some beta testers. To test that there are no glitches and bugs, but also to comment on the quality of the puzzles and cut scenes. And how I could improve them for a public demo. Please post here if you want to beta test.
---
I forgot to mention, there will be a mini game in Chapter I, and I'm wondering what sort of mini game you would all like to see.
Please post here for that too, or personal message me. It's up to you. (see a couple posts down for more info)

 

[pestilence]

I would really like to beta test this

 

[Joe parz]

Looks really good. Id definately play this game.

 

[bradleydfc]

Thank you everyone for commenting.
Progress on Chapter I is coming along smoothly...
New screenshots up!

 

[bradleydfc]

Here's an update.
Chapter I is pretty much playable, from start to finish now. All I need to do is think of some sort of mini game for the initial quest (I really want the game to get off to jump start). Only thing is I can't think of a mini game, and although I've had a couple ideas floating around my head, I'd really like it if you could start having a go at telling me what you find fun. Not only will this give me some inspiration, but also will help my game cater to what you like. A double win.

Moving on, I look to update the original post very soon. More screenshots have been added so please comment on them too. I really would like some more feedback before I outright release a chapter. By the way, a tremendous thank you for the stuff so far.

--EDIT:
I have now updated the first post with new shtuffs to read about, enjoy.

 

[Necrile]

This looks pretty fun
Sign me up for beta testins.

 

[Twirly]

This looks pretty impressive!
Keep it up!
