It's funny... when you reach the end of a journey...
And all you can think about... is how it began...

Spoiler

Three thousand years in Ancient Egypt, men played games for great wealth and power.  These Games of Darkness continued, threatening to take many lives, until a nameless pharaoh sacrificed himself to save humanity.  The Shadows slept, until the Millennium Puzzle was assembled by a young boy, and the Games of Darkness continued again.

Yuugi Mutou was just an ordinary Freshman, fond of games and trying very hard to stay away from the bullies.  That was, until he awakened the spirit of the pharaoh in the Puzzle, and ended up in the middle a centuries old conflict, gaining the friends he had always hoped for along the way.

Duelist Legends follows the story of Yuugiou from the very beginning to the very end, using a battle system and unique puzzles to progress the story.

PANTY TANK
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c391/ ... reen11.jpg[/img]

What is Panty Tank?
Panty Tank is your second mini-game, and the first mini-game that you can play again outside of the storyline (only available during recess periods in school).  It's a "right of passage" for Yuugi, and a test of how well he can stand up to the glory that is... the female panty.

Object of the Game
The object of the game is simple.  At the start of the mini game, girls will start walking around in the hallway.  You need to get behind them and flip up their skirts (by pressing the enter key), causing them to scream and dash off the screen.  You need to "tank" a certain amount of girls within the time limit, but you can't go too fast, or Yuugi's nosebleed meter will fill up and he'll pass out.  You also have to avoid tanking Anzu, or she'll get mad and force Yuugi to stop.

As you can probably tell from the screen shot, this isn't completely done yet, as there are going to be different girls roaming the hall.  All the programing is done though, and I can't thank Eilei enough for that.

Mini Games Demo
This is a very basic demo, displaying the first two mini games you play in the game.  You start in Yuugi's room.  Press the action key on the empty side of the desk to initiate Picross.  In order to play Panty Tank, you need to travel all the way to the school and talk to Jounouchi in the left hallway.

More information to be added as more of the game is completed.

Looks like a really good start. I cannot wait to play some real battles in this as I am a big fan

So is there a team or do you do it all yourself

 

[Skyla Doragono]

This is all me. Most things are frakensprited, but there are a few original things (like the game shop).

And to answer the question before it crops up: Yes, I'm going to continue Egyptian Dreams, but as I was rewriting it, it started to sound more like a sequel to the series. So, I decided to put the series in game form first.

 

[Untra]

looks alright. I might play it, although I'm not that big a fan of yugioh.

 

[kaze950]

Is this going to be based on the manga or anime (Is hoping manga)?

 

[Tohsaka]

This looks like it'll turn out nicely. Good use of the RTP with custom tiles.

 

[Malachi]

Mapping is iffy. But if this game is going to be anything like ED then I can't wait to play this.

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Like I said, the screenshots are only the work I've done so far, and a lot of it is guesswork. It's hard to map a city when all you've seen of it is a few buildings from certain angles. I guess Takahashi-san hates drawing them as much as I do. @_@;

 

[Malachi]

Haha, I'll let you off there. But, why not just use the ED tilesets?

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Because ED's tileset for Domino City was incomplete. Even if I had not re-written ED and kept going with what I had, I would have ended up with a tileset like this.

 

[Malachi]

Good luck with this, anyway. I'm not as big a Yugioh fan as I used to be but I'll definitely play this.

 

[Rye]

Yay for Atemu! ^__^ I looks great so far. :3

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Blargh; after all the work I did on the Domino City tileset, I haven't wanted to do anything. @_@;

Been working on the school and getting things together for it, as it's the first place you'll see at the start of the game.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c391/ ... reen08.jpg[/IMG]
The halls will be more lively once I finish more NPCs.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c391/ ... reen09.jpg[/IMG]
Same goes for Yuugi's class room.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c391/ ... reen10.jpg[/IMG]
Part of the opening.

Right now I'm already thinking ahead to mini games. I've already got a few ideas for what I want, but no idea how to event them (heaven forbid they need to be scripted...). I'll have to make a recruitment topic later or something.

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Added a support bar to the main post; seems everyone has one nowadays. >>;

And I know the 200-some-odd people that have looked at this have to have some kind of feedback. Please? Anyone? Anything?

 

[Rye]

Hmm, it still seems rather spiffy so far, Atemu, but the classroom looks so bare! Can you add like trinkets? Don't Japanese schools at least have like a bookshelf or something in their classrooms? I have never really been to one, so I guess I wouldn't know. And with the hallway too, I'd say mess it up a bit :> they're in high school! Also, don't the desks need chairs? Or is there some sick punishment that they all have to stand? XD

But come on people! This project looks nice so far. ^^ The shot of the opening looks nice, does the plane move? And are you going to chose a different font than that font at some time or are you happy with it?

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Hmm... I'll add some more things to the classroom. I think the primary problem with the hallway is it's too big, but then again one of the mini-games will be taking place there as well, and you need the room.

As far as the chairs, I'm using that one school tileset from NeoRTP, and that didn't have chairs, nor have I found chairs that would match. o.<

The plane does indeed move, and the font I'm not too sure about. I want a smaller, less "BAM! Wazzup?" font, but I'm not sure what. Most other fonts I've encountered annoy the hell out of me because they're either too small or too fancy.

 

[G-man]

How did I miss this proj? goin into the sig...

 

[TiA2213]

Hey Atemu, this looks great! I really like the characters sprites, and the custom school/game shop tiles are very effective. Not so sure about the menu system-- I think the purple background is a bit distracting, and makes it difficult to see the red text-- but apart from that, I'm looking forward to playing it

 

[JD_Slasha]

Forgive me if I missed it (I've only skimmed through the first post a bit), but are you still using those sideview battlers you used to post way back at .net? I'm glad yer' still working on this.

-JD

 

[Skyla Doragono]

TiA2213: I thought the same thing when I took the screenshot. However, when the background is in motion it's not nearly as bad.

Slasha: You apparently miss a lot, considering those battlers have also been here for... ages... But, anyway, no. They'll be the same style, but obviously Yuugi can't go running around his high school whapping people over the head with a magic wand. Bad enough he goes around with a ruler flipping up skirts.

Speaking of which...
