Dead Content Universal Struggle - Episode 1 [NEW DEMO 2.0]

Dead content awaiting restoration.
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/ ... /Title.png[/IMG]


First of all, I want to say Thank You RMXP.org for some of your wonderfull scripts! This project was created like a Final Fantasy game - the game will have
lots of episodes but every episode is a diferent story and diferent world and characters. I call my games Universal Struggle.
This game was created by me and my company, Blue Pirates.
Blue Pirates is a company with only Beta testers of the Sapphire Games, where the real members do the games (don?t ask who are the other members of the real team because that is a secret).
Let?s get to the game itself!

GASTA
This is the story about the Gasta planet.
Gasta is a world divided by two sides, The Good and The Evil (this doesn?t mean that the Good side is the "hero" side)
Both the sides are very similar in their look, except for their habitants and rulers.
The Good side is ruled by a pair of Human King and Queen.
The Evil side is ruled by a pair of step race of the human - the Namuh - by a King and Queen too.
Both the Kings and Queens are Imortals and lived since the planet was created.
The creatures that are from the Good side are named "sons of Goodness".
The creatures that are from the Evil side are named "sons of Evilness".
They are at war since the Kings and Queens where born.
The Good is represented by the Main Goodness of this world. The Good lives in the temples around the world. She gives power to the Sons of Goodness so that they live happy and destroy the Evil side.
The Evil is represented by the Main Evilness of this world. The Evil lives in the other temples around the world. She gives power to the Sons of Evilness so that they live happy and destory the Good side.
There is also a creature that is called the Balance. She is neutral and always avoid that both The Good or The Evil destroy each others sides. Well, sometimes she can with the help of the Neutral people - creatures both from Evil and Good that decided to help the Balance. The Neutral people live in the Neutral Island (in the middle of the World).

Year 4475 in Gasta years
This is where our main story begins...
Jerusalimus, a noble warrior from the Good Mus family (Mus is the name of the direct family of the king and queen of goodness, they have Mus in their names), finally entered the Balance Ruins. The Balance ruins are in a big island with the main temples of the Good and Evil (full of monsters). He saw the Balance itself in the ruins. He asks for the Balance for peace in the world and she happily gave him a chance to do it. Inside the Open Chamber of Balance, he finds The Good and The Evil sleeping. He also finds two creatures: Alexander and Maxio. They are the key to peace. Maxio goes to the Evil side and Alexander goes to the Good side. Jerusalimus is happy to adopt Alexander so that he and his dead Father wish come true - The Peace.
The Balance request was that Alexander never learned about his true identity.

Will Jerusalimus complete his wish about world peace?
Will Alexander learn someday about his past?
What about Maxio?
Will Gasta meet Peace?

These are the questions and history in Universal Struggle I
(If I didn?t tell the story right it is because my english isn?t perfect, but the game itself will explain better, right in the beggining...)

ENJOY THE PROJECT :thumb:
 
:) hope you like the demo, its worth the time of the download, trust me!

I think this topic should go to the Complete games or Projects with more than 30 min of demo, its 1h and 30m of gameplay.
 
There is text alright, the intro (New game Intro, there are two intros counting with the "before" title screen) is all about history texted in the World Map (Not a map to play but yes just a map).

why? do you have a problem with the game? :S
I tested it and i didn?t had problems...

OH! I know the problem, maybe its the font! Grab the font in the game folder and install in your Fonts
 
err, thanks! really!
guys dont worry, its just some tiny little errors, im sure the rest is k, i tested the game several times...
I will start making a new demo with some bugs fixed :)
 
Sorry for this post but, no comment about the demo after 15 downloads?
Need comments of the demo before I make the rest of the game for opinions and bug fixes...
 
I played the game actually, not until the end but it is a strange one this.

It's sort of good and terrible at the same time. I hope you don't mind me saying.

First of all, I assume English is not your first language? It needs helps in this area and badly if you wish to release it in English. Nearly every line had grammatical errors. However, I sensed that what the characters were actually trying to say was quite interesting and full of character.

Secondly, please stop using so inconsistent graphics. When I walked outside the house, the houses were suddenly like made for giants and the textures were totally different. You'd be far better off using rtp than buildings 4 times too big for the characters.

Your eventing skills seem pretty decent as well as your 2D graphics for your intro but that whole good and evil thing sounded really tired and cliche in basic English. Re-written I sense it could be seem quite quirky instead.

What else do I recall... oh... you can't really get away with rinsing the music from Final Fantasy 12, it has not been out long so its fresh in all our memories and it seems it's all you use. Try original music made for rmxp games, there is enough about. Try Sakari-infinity.net for that.

So in summary, at the moment, the bad parts were BAD and the good parts pretty good. First of all, try and get some help from a more fluent English speaker.
 
Yeah, I understand.
Then:
1st- Will use RTP for maps
2nd- Need help of a English speaker

I don?t know about that music opinion but if someone says something about that again, I will work it out!
Thanks.
 
It doesn't have to be rtp. You look like you can use photoshop so you can edit the rtp a bit anyway. The maps you use for the first place look okay and the water looks fine. Just the town looks really bad. Inquisitors interior looks okay too.
 
Well, I decided to change a few things from the game (that includes the demo) like some music, tilesets and messages. For the players that played the other demo, I would say that this version is going to fix some reported issues like the music, tilesets and a few message errors that I captured while playing the demo two times.

I maked new wallpapers has well:

Updated Screenshots in the first post (6 pics updated)!
Updated Demo 2.0 in the first post!
 
Nice game. I only played up to the forest, but great game. Grammar is off, but the character's them selves are easy to relate to and understand. Some parts are comical, some serious, it was a good balance. I think the houses were mapped well, some parts were a little off
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/xilefian/scrnfdth.png[/IMG]
The opening animation was great, but the images shown afterwards of the elves and knights kind of seemed tacky. The menu system was great aswell.
