Great, 'cause that one I just shoved there for the sake of completing the map; I was hoping I'd find or someone would make a better one.

PANTY TANK

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.

Yay Atemu! ^^

This looks like it is coming along nicely. I haven't been into Yugioh for awhile but I used to love it. Playing this might have a bit of nostalgia.

Love the characters. How much of the graphics did you do yourself?

The panty tank game looks hilarious.

Keep it up

EDIT:

Another question... How are the battles going to work?

@Hevendor: absolutely love your avatar :P

 

[Skyla Doragono]

How much of the graphics did you do yourself?

Bits and pieces. Obviously I'll be spriting all the characters and NPCs, as they're made using the Tyke-2 template and not the default RTP. I'll also be doing the battle graphics as well. The menu graphics were all done by me, except for the purple background, which was ripped from The Sacred Cards. I also drew and colored the character status pictures.

As far as the Domino tileset, the Kame Game Shop was one part original work (the roof), and one part Frankensprite/recolor (everything else). The basketball hoops were from a tileset... Sasuke? Sasuke-with-a-bunch-of-numbers? Someone with that name did. I enlarged them and put them on there, but as I said, I really don't like them and hope to replace them soon. I also did the chain-link fence around the top of the school. The rest of the tileset was pieced together from various other tilesets from various sources (and before anyone gets all up in arms, yes I plan on giving credit where credit is due. Expect a big topic with the header "Who the fuck did all this!?" sometime in the future).

I know when you look at the screenshots and the rest of the maps as a whole it doesn't sound like much, but it was very nerve wracking. As I've said before, I work better with small things when it comes to spriting. Less details equals less chance of me fucking up royally I guess. :x This was also the first time I had to use Photoshop for spriting, as PSP8 didn't want to do the things that I wanted it to do. :<

Another question... How are the battles going to work?

That's a good question. I wish someone could give me the answer...

...oh wait. XP

All seriousness aside, I'm not 100% sure on how I'm going to do battles either. If I'm lucky, and things actually cooperate with me for once, I'll be able to have two elements, which would be named "Normal Battle" and "Card Battle". Any attack that would fall in the "Normal Battle" category would do exactly 0 damage to any creature falling under the "Card Battle" element, and vice versa. This would, of course, include your physical attack; you'd look pretty dumb swatting away at a projection, wouldn't you?

As you could guess, there are going to be two types of battles in this game. Normal battles would be your typical RPG "OMG AN ENEMY APPROACHTH DESTROY!" kind of encounter. These are commonplace at the start of the game, before the characters become aware of the fact that Yuugi and the other Yuugi are in fact two different people. This includes the first few boss fights, as well as everything in Death-T up to the fight with Mokuba.

Card battles (or in Mokuba's case, Capsule battles...) are a slightly different case. While they're still carried out like your typical battle, as previously mentioned, normal attacks that would work on a flesh and blood creature will not work here. That's where cards come in; you can purchase or find new cards all over Domino and every where else you'll end up. Monster cards can be used on a specific character to teach them how to summon the monster in battle (for example, Yuugi can learn how to summon Black Magician, but Jounouchi can't). Trap cards can be used by anyone, and basically consist of skills that hinder your opponent, but don't damage them (in classic console RPG terms, the status effect magic that sounds useful, but you don't end up using half the time), with rare few exceptions. Magic cards are your items -- these are typically restorative, and can be used no matter what battle you're in.

Some misc. things to note: no matter how often you level up, your maximum LP (Life Points, AKA Hit Points) does not go up. Your max LP will always be 8000. Your DP (Duelist Points, otherwise known as MP), however, does, so you can't just build up a lot of money and blow it all on cards, as you won't have enough DP to summon if you do. Essentially, if you want to see what your characters can really do, you need to balance things out.

Wow, that turned out long. @_@; Hope I answered your questions well enough.

 

[chuchan]

Looks good... but why is Yuugi carrying around a sword? And why would he need stats if this is a card game?
lol just thinking XD

 

[Skyla Doragono]

...Clearly, I haven't changed any of the defaults in the database, or Yuugi would be equipped with something more appropriate, don't you agree? Also, if you had bothered to read anything else in the thread, like the post directly above yours, you would know that it is not a card game.

Thank you.

 

[Malachi]

Indeed, just because it's a Yu-Gi-Oh game doesn't mean it's a card battle game. As for that panty mini game, it sounds very hilarious and yet, so unYugi like :p

I think what malick means is that he thinks Yuugi should be looking for jockstraps instead of panties.

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Thank you, Eilei. Like people don't take this game seriously enough as it is.

 

[Malachi]

That isn't what I was meaning btw.

 

[Malachi]

The story is retold too many times, try and make it a little bit original, ok? The graphics look honestly half-assed. All in all I don't like it that much.

 

[Queue]

I’m sorry to say this, but…

Malick, atleast Atemu decided to go out and fully add her own spriting material to the RTP. I personally despise the RTP and think anyone half decent enough to create their own sprited material is a god in my eyes. I think it’s a bit of Vice Versa on your behalf with your graphics. No offense but you didn’t need to bring your fight with Atemu in here.

 

[Malachi]

Oh? So here starting it in the screenshot topic was ok then? Seriously this forum is FUCKED UP. It can be spammed hacker attacks for all I fucking care. It's members are brainless gits who believe what they're told. And are you calling my graphics half assed!? I put a lot of time into mine! And I know I just contradicted myself but I don't don't really care!

Burn in hell RMXP.org!

 

[Ninjitsu]

Uh...
Uh...
So yeah...
-looks up-

I was surprised not to see any actual cards in game.

 

[Queue]

I wouldn't use those words specifically malick, but yes.

This forum is a serious one.

Atemu, love the battle system concept with the cards. I think Konami will get jealous.

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Uh... 'kay then...

@Ninjitsu: the cards will be items that allow you to learn special abilities, or to be used as items.

@Q-man: I can only hope, Q. XD

 

[Skie Fortress]

Um, Malick. How many times have I told you not do that? I've told you many times to stay calm and whatnot, but apparently that's too hard. Oh wellz, I tried.

 

[Ninjitsu]

Ah...good idea making cards items.
Will they be consumable?

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Ninjitsu: Yes, but some can only be used once. I need to figure out how to make a shop only sell one item, and never sell it again. >> << *nudges the scripters out there*
