Vacant Sky Complete Edition: Act I+ Released!

[Sailerius]

Sorry, I shouldn't have posted that in your topic...

I downloaded the game, and tried it. I especially like the battle system add-ons - such as the multiple attack types.
But there was a whole lot of lag.
The music skipped abit, and screwed up occasionally. The maps had about 5 fps. The character moved annoyingly slow. This was on the first outside map, during the chapter "the fence that kept the world out"
In the save menu, the sprites overlapped the text because the chapter title was too long.

Aside from that, it's an all-together good game, the tilesets are nice, and the sprites are as well - and I take back what I said about the art, it's not that bad at all.

Sorry again,

That's really odd. I've never heard of that happening (and I've heard of a lot of bugs). What kind of computer are you on? Do other RMXP games have problems like that?

I'm running a Vista, with 3gb ram, and not much harddrive left...
No other games have had this problem. I restarted the computer, and closed all apps, but it continued.
Maybe you have too many events.
I don't know, but I'll try to continue.

That's really odd. I've tested the game on a few different machines and I've never heard of that happening. The most resource-intensive part of the game is East Naven, the first town, so let me know if it persists after you leave.

Alright. Tried it a few more times, then restarted my computer. It appeared that I had an application working in the background.
I feel stupid now...
Can't wait for Act II

Happy Halloween! I'm back with this week's Act II update! This time, I've got another song. Here is "Vagrant (II)", a remix of Weapon's theme that accompanies a boss battle in Act II.

This week's update features Vanquish, a Banivian knight that joins your party in Act II.

Hey there everyone. I'm working on a portuguese gaming site, and Vacant Sky was chosen to be tested and reviewed by me, as my job is to find the best amateur games and let the people know of their existence (like a scouter).

So, I'll let you all know when the review gets online.

Cheers, keep up the good work.

 

[Sailerius]

Quick question for anyone that's beaten Act I: How many credits did you have toward the end of the game?

 

[Sailerius]

Hi everyone and welcome to December! Everything's still on track for a January 1 release. Here's this week's Act II update, a new track called "Nightlife."

Wow! This is wonderful so far. Two thumbs up. :thumb: :thumb:

Umm... Megaupload and Rapidshare are very slow for me... I don't know why it has been like this. It has never been very slow before. Anyone willing to upload the latest version to Mediafire?

Thank you in advance.

Sure, I'm working on it.

Hi there! I would really like to play your game. But I am not able to download the .dll from megaupload
(it says that the file is unaccesable). So can you upload it again?

EDIT: Works now. I guess MU was having some problems.

I just played through Act I, and I must say that I loved it, though I do have one thing to say, there weren't enough battles. I may have accidentally skipped some things, but on my play-through when I fought Weapon, it took like 8 tries to beat him.

 

[Xandrel]

...but on my play-through when I fought Weapon, it took like 8 tries to beat him.

Yeah, he is hard. There should be some places to exp in this game. (if they are, and I missed them, then I am stupid and
please prove it to me).
Also I just LOVE the KOTOR-style exp menu.

There are a few places to get EXP besides the required battles (namely, the side quests in Barette and East Naven).

Whoo! After a 20 hour train ride, I'm finally home for the holidays. Though this week's Act II update is still forthcoming, I've got something else in the meantime. I'm starting up an Act I character poll, where you vote for your favorite male and female characters.

Once Act II has been out, a follow-up poll will be held and it should be fun to see if certain characters go up or down in the rankings. Without further adieu, here's the character list:

Male
Rayonne de Bellemont
Zaqris jaGrane
Vastale/Michael Ranksmith
Weapon
Blaise Tearson

Female
Auria Edith
Serijala Racorie
Sandarga
Auria's Mom
Fiora

Submit your vote either by response by IM, PM, email, or whatever method of communication you feel like and I'll add it to the tally. I'll post again next Saturday with the results.

 

[Ikariz]

For me, it's Weapon and Auria.

Today's Act II update is a screenshot that shows what the streamlined battle UI looks like.

Some new face portraits by Salice are shown, as well as Ganonfrog's beautiful new battlers for the new party members. A different font was chosen which is crisper and easier to read. Also, the addition of the Ascensions option in the battle command menu.

 

[Xandrel]

New Auria picture looks better than the old one, I like it

This is going to be so awesome, I can't wait :D

 

[Sailerius]

Merry Christmas from everyone at Project BC! This week's Act II update doubles as our Christmas gift. Check out "When I Die", the Act II opening song! Vocals performed by Melanie Ehrlich.
