Also I've decided to give both DC and Tiff a Transformation ability like Chris and George's Hyper Mode, except DC and Tiff get only one.

DC's Transform State is: Star Armor

Tiff's Transform State is: Metal Gal

This is all the current updates on the game, just need to do some editing and Demo v1.8 will be released on July 25, 2008.

Awesome job! Nice artwork and the new Heaven city's pretty cool.

 

[VirusChris]

Thank you!

Demo v2.0 will be the last demo I'm going to release and it will include the following:

*New Loading Screens (Which will appear as animated)
*Special Animations to show where Hidden Items are Located
*Some New Character Expression Sprites
*Half of Chapter 3 where you play as George
*Chapter 1 of the Manga Adaption included
*Three more Anime-like Still Cutscenes (Making a total of 6 out of 18 Anime-like Still Cutscenes in the game so far)

I believe Demo v2.0 will be released near the end of this month. Depends how long it takes.

Here's a picture of the Loading Screen:

No one's ever needed a loading screen in the past RMXP games, I believe. Is it there because there's somekind of horrible lag or complicated script, or just to show off? :l
Anyway, looks interesting enough. I'll be sure to play this when it's finished.
if it's finished anyway

He's finished other games.
I don't get why there needs to be a loading screen either. I honestly think it wastes time especailly when it's not needed.

 

[VirusChris]

It's there for fun, besides it's like 2 - 3 seconds long. Very short.

I'm going to be busy for a while, as helping with other people and my parents taking the family somewhere fun tomorrow.

 

[VirusChris]

Just a little update. The final demo, Demo v2.0, will be released near the end of this month which will cover from Chapter 0 to half of Chapter 2. New things like the sparks to find hidden items and the Loading Screen, and George & Shide playable, also there will be two bonus characters appearing the game as well but are non-canon to the story.

The Legendary Hero Manga Cover:

This is the cover to the Manga Adaption of my RPG project that will be included with the final demo but only Chapter 1, Demo v2.0, and the finalized version of the game with the complete Manga Adaption. To read the Manga you need to play the game to get the passwords to unlock each chapter of the manga. You start off with one Chapter to read, but the rest might be unlocked.

I LOVE THIS GAME! GOOD JOB!

 

[TheRPGPlayer]

Why don't many people comment, this game is good!

 

[VirusChris]

Maybe because I haven't updated it in a bit? Or isn't popular enought. XD

Anyway regarding some new information for "The Legendary Hero: A Journey Reborn". There will be two Side-Quest Party Members, Saru and Delane, and a one-time only Event Party Member which appears only to fight a new type of Enemy.

The Mysterious Creature known as "Echoes".

This little guy is in Battle Mode, in its Regular Mode the teeth are gone.

These creatures appear in "The Legendary Hero: A Journey Reborn", but you only fight them once in an event (along with an unexpected Party Member) with the rest tracking them down.

They have a strange connection with the VirusMonsters.

 

[VirusChris]

Sorry about any updates, I've been ever busy with a lot of stuff lately and I've been practicing my drawings skills so hopeful the next Anime-like Still Cutscenes will be much better.

Anyway here's the, work-in-process, ECHO Vocals sprite for the game.

ECHO Vocals Sprite (Template):
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c41/VirusChris200/ECHOVocalsSprite.png[/img]

Right now I'm still working on him, but it took me no more than 5 minutes to draw him from scratch. Right now I need to work on its walking left and right and upward directions. The boxes are there to serve as a guideline until I don't need them anymore.

In TLH2 and onward I'm going to have to make a new sprite version to match with the Chibi style I'm going with the sequel.


Also in TLH: JR there will be one animated cutscene, basically different pictures happening at once to show what's happening, so look forward to it in the near future.

Plus the Loading Screen will now only appear in the Begininng of the game and at the end of the game, only twice in the entire game.


EDIT: Here's what my drawings look like so far.

Chris Portrait:

Now Chris looks much better and how he should really look in my series.

And an Ami Rozu Portrait as well!

Ami Rozu Portrait:

I love the way she came out! So cute while pouting, but still a beautiful young maiden. I hope you guys like her!
Also she's makes her appearance as a new Playable Character in the sequel to TLH: JR!

Tell me what you think, OK?

 

[Sol_Fury]

Wow, I remember ages ago when you did your first artwork / stuff on GameFAQs. You've come a long way since back then. Your art is fantastic, especially the cutscene pieces and other hand drawn pieces.

One random comment - Ami Rozu makes me think Amy Rose for some reason, probably the similar sounding name. I do like her art, though - the expression gives her real character, which is a very cool thing.

 

[mawk]

... although I can't for the life of me figure out why you can see her cleavage through her shirt, since it doesn't look that tight and nothing appears to be pushing her boobs together.

Her bangs seem especially odd. What style of hair is that supposed to be? Can you maybe show me a real-life analogue or something?

 

[dadevvtsvre]

I think you definitely overdid Chris' hair. He looks like a Cloud imitator. Tone it down a bit. You realize how heavy that would be on his head?

 

[VirusChris]

I'm going to start up on my RPG project again, as I'm busy with College now but I'll find time to work on this.

Here's the complete spritesheet of ECHO Vocals:

And some music from my game.

These are original done by my friend, Nitro (who's working with a friend of his to make Rockman X Blood Plasma), so all credits goes to him.

 

[Rathalos]

Please, for the love of god, PLEASE get rid of the loading screen. Honestly, it's completley pointless.

Other than that, damn, what happened to the noob that us at gamefaqs used to know? Your new stuff looks great!

 

[VirusChris]

He grew up. :D


Alright I'll remove the Loading Screes, but I'm going to put them in the trailer, when I get to it, to start up the video. Just something extra.

Also some new info about the game if I forgot to add:
*Chapter 0 - Prologue, will be extend a bit with some of the lines revised.
*Gain access to Chris' House (You'll be able to explore in it to get a better look at Chris' life)
*Chris' Parents, Paul Aero and Kelli Aero, will debut in sprite appearance instead of dialogue.
*Revamped Battlers and Portraits for the Main Characters.


Also to see my progress in my artwork you can check here, at my deviantart page, to see my latest stuff that I will be applying to my games:

OK I need to get the next and final demo ready, but I have College so it will take a while.

 

[dadevvtsvre]

Don't put loading screens unless they take at least five seconds or longer. Otherwise, it's pointless.

Her bangs seem especially odd. What style of hair is that supposed to be? Can you maybe show me a real-life analogue or something?

Furthermore, you would definitely benefit from branching out into a more realistic style for practice's sake. You're very weak when it comes to anatomy and different viewing angles, and leaving the anime stuff behind for a while would definitely help you out with that.

Besides, it's difficult to take you seriously when your main character's hair adds more than six inches to his height.

I'm not going to go into much detail about the snippets of dialogue I've gotten from your sig and other places, but please keep in mind that saturday-morning anime and megaman battle network are not good standards to hold yourself to when writing talky pieces. I'm gonna hope that this sort of thing is kept to a minimum in the game itself, because right now it's painfully obvious that you're taking your stylistic cues from kingdom hearts and the ever poorly-translated mmbn series.
