Upcoming stuff in this thread: - a demo with the complete first mission (don't even wait, it's still gonna take long)
                                        - other screenshots
                                        - some more cool stuff, if I manage to have cool stuff to add...


So, how does this game work, you might ask? Well, it's a mission based game, not too focused on the plot, and in each mission you must accomplish a certain objective. In order to do that, you'll have to use your creativity to its best. I don't want to reveal much more, so I
guess that's it...


A very skilled thief, known as "The Thief" and nothing else, is hired by a very
important employer. How could he refuse? But the missions that await him shall not
be easy. That's pretty much it, I don't want to reveal too much, and the story is not
really that important, so I kept it simple for now.

- Many missions to complete
- It's not exactly an RPG, it doesn't even have a single genre, you need to play it and see for yourself (no, it's not a sneaking game)
- It's not about knights, magic crystals, gods, flowers and all that annoying stuff
- The graphics are original in a way, as if they were drawn by a 10 year old (with some skills)
- Totally orginal music competely different from classic RPG or classic games music
- Mind-boggling, creative and bizarre puzzles
- Lots of humour, although not always the best
- Some twists and turns
- The coolest protagonist ever
- Charismatic funny characters (and annoying too)
- Heterossexual characters (or maybe not... but most of them will be!)
- Naughty stuff (all below the limits, of course)(Hey, maybe I'll release the Naughty Uncensored Version!)
- A hidden gold coin in every level. Collect them all!

The Thief

http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5821/thethiefimagegs3.png[/img]
A very skilled thief, who actually does all kinds of dirty missions , as
long as they don't involve physical conflict. His speciality is theft. They say he could
steal candy from a baby, but that's a really stupid thing they say because taking candy
from a baby is very easy (unless you're a baby too). And no, he's not a ninja.


The Officer
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4177/thecopimagesg3.png[/img]
A cop with a taste for donuts and a huge love for his police car. He doesn't smoke.


The Boss
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/5927/thebossimagejc9.png[/img]
A famous crime lord who needs someone he can trust to get a job done. He always
sits in a massage chair which shakes a bit. He is always smoking expensive cigarettes. I don't know if anyone has ever
seen his face, but they probably did when he was a little boy and such, unless
he used a bag around his face all the time, which wouldn't be a good idea because
it would cause him some breathing difficulties.

I will make all the music in the game, and you can expect all kinds of it.
Now here's the main theme of the game, called "The Thief - Main Theme". How original...

http://files.filefront.com/The+Thief+Ma ... einfo.html

This theme, and any others I publish, are not to be used without my permission.

I'll publish a demo here soon, with the complete first mission. If I was able to script, it would be 2 weeks tops, but I really
don't know how to script so it should take me some time to get the things that I want. All things considered, I think now it's gonna take a hell of a lot of time, so don't even wait for it, alright?

- I need a custom menu, and I can't make one. So, if you think you're up to the task, you could ask me about it, I'd tell you how I wanted it and you could give it a try! How rewarding would it be to have a menu made by YOU in MY game, in "The Thief"? It's like the best contest ever, think about how your name would be engraved in the pages of history, and kids would imitate you and stuff...

- One cool thing to have would be a music analyst! Like, the best musician in this site, the music guru of this place, to listen to the themes of the game before everyone else and give me some advice, because I've set the standards so high (ahem) with my first themes for this game that I don't wanna start to mess up, ands it's real hard to review your own music, no matter how much you try to do it impartially.

- DubeAlex, because I'm using his AMS (Advanced Message Script, I think). Not that I care
much about these acessories, but some of that script's features added some finesse to
the game.
- Sarkilas, who had a major role in making the "Item" HUD that will show during the game

I accept suggestions, hate, ideas, criticism, anything (you can also say good things)!
 
Had some issues with HTML but it's alright now. Sorry to keep you waiting, guys, I know you were really hyped for this game but now your prayers were answered!...kinda...

Feel free to say whatever you want, especially how crappy the game's presentation is (I love the logo, took 30 secs).

Yeeeahh, this is awful...  the guy in the left corner looks like he has a boner.

He does. When you play you'll figure out why.
But I have to disagree in the awful part. I think it's just mediocre.

So much.... MS paint.... So much.... Paint program graphics!.... *sucks thumb and rolls into ball on floor.*
 
it's the first time (... no second time) I see someone having a boner in a RM game.
I also agree with despain. I can't say the graphics look good, because they don't, but at least you got some original stuff in there, which is pretty nice :)
 
The graphics are this way on purpose, because despite wanting to be original, I didn't want to waste 2 hours everytime I decided to make a stupid new character. In other words, I wouldn't even make a game if it wasn't so quick to make as this, so I thought, "I'll make the most graphically rushed game ever"! This way, I can make a map in 15 minutes, one character in 2 minutes, and I can focus on gameplay and fun stuff instead of graphics, which really aren't more than an acessory in any game.

the graphics don't have to be "omg final fantasy XIX @_____@". as long as they are original and consistent then you have a quality set of graphics. also, even though he mentioned that he just wanted to do a rush job it could also be artistic taste, or even to fit the mood of the game (for example when i looko at the graphics in question- i automatically assume the game will be a quirky parody-type game (and theres also the guy with the boner))
 
This game looks pretty sweet. And I agree with everything said graphically - I'm so glad there's no RTP. Will there be any killing? Killing is good :D
 
I'm Actually Liking this,

Hope a Demo of some sort comes out soon!  :thumb:

I love the idea with the graphics and stuff, i never seen that done with a RPG maker game before  :D

and again, cant wait to try this one out : D

Yeah, um, if you did everything in a flash enviroment instead of paint, I may have still played it. But now... no. No way. EVER. O.O

There's not even a (decent) story. Hell, is this even an rpg?

Gwar! I smite thee! >.>

At leat he has custom graphics instead of Aluxes.  Oh wait, no, Aluxes with Puruple hair.  And Not every game made in RPG Maker Needs to Be an RPG, Doc.

I am really looking forward to this, zero.  These custom graphics may fit in to this game's humor.
 
Thanks for the comments, people, I'm glad I'm getting many positive reactions. Just for the record, it's not MS Paint, it's Macromedia Flash. I like drawing in Macromedia Flash, it gives things a funny style.

It would be cool if you listened to the music too and gave me some feedback.

And about the story, it will go a bit further than expected along the game, but never be too complex or confusing.
 
At the beginning, I wanted to exit it out, because it sounded like Runescape, until about 10 seconds into it, where the thing actually started to kick in. I delayed the exiting, and decided to give it a thorough listen-to. I was actually surprised; I could imagine being a thief and this music being my background music. The song pans out to be a pretty good melody, and adds a certain essence to whatever you're doing at the moment its playing. I really liked it.

10/10

Also, it'd be nice if you could critique my project, as well.
