My game.

[Energy]

ya, i figured. this better?

Better, but not quite.

Get rid of those side-view roofs of the house near the upper left-hand corner. Also, I suggest redoing that topmost house on your map. The chimney is placed to high and the  the roof doesn't extend long enough.

@Xilef: Tell me you did not use a screen from Battle World to give an example to one who is learning to map.

battle world?

ok, i fixed the houses, it does look a lot better now.

I uploaded the caterpillar! now all i need is the text code!

i think that this game is going to be one of those  games where there is a story line, and a plot, and bosses, and everything, but the item descriptions, and the dialogue is going to be very humourous. i mean one of the character's nickname's is "Captain emo." what do you guys think?


I have a demo! the demo basically is gathering everyone up from there respective houses, and takes way under half an hour. i just want to know if I'm going in the right direction.

should i upload it here, or make a new thread? preferably here...

i put the demo link here anyway: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VB3RDBGO

its about 300kb right now. less then my first one :/

This is a better version actaually: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q3B2N29V


you have to have the poornut font uploaded thought. if you don't use the one above.
oh, and i guess i'll go ahead and do the characters etc. thing:

Characters:

Spoiler

(no pictures yet. sorry!

Loric: The Main character. his class varies on what you choose, but he is a mage by default.
He lives with his brother, Karv, and is young ad adventurous.

Karv: Loric's younger brother. His class changes depending on what class loric is, but he is a rebel by default. He got the nickname "Captain emo" from his brother, and hates it. he is basically a stereotypical emo kid.

Cramzel: Nicknamed Cramzy. His class changes depending on what class loric is, but he is a cleric by default. he lives with his 6 siblings, mother and father. he is the second oldest. the next youngest, Cyria, is Loric's love intrest.

Juliana: Her class changes depending on what class loric is, but she is a Fighter by default. She comes from a long line of clerics, but she broke the chain. she is stubborn, headstrong, and cocky.

Story:

Spoiler

You can't find it out in the demo, so i'm keeping it a secret for now.

Well, i've played the demo, and apart from your type of messaging, I could suggest that if you want a kid as your type of main character, use a kid. Why? I dunno, it looks quite weird when a adult has a "lil' bro" who looks older than him and is going "awww" in the shops. :D

This project has more views and replies than most the games submitted in the last month.

I agree with Cassy on this, you can't take this seriously so I guess it'd be fine if your OK with that.

ya, i guess i should probably change that. i want him to be that kind of character who is a little childish, but i guess he's just to old right now. actually, I'll probably make the text sound more mature.

He sounds more mature now, And i added more plot. I changed the text font to milne. if you don't have it, let me know and i'll upload it without milne. does times new roman work?

Hasn't anyone played the demo yet? 

 

[greenninja89]

I hadn't played it. But i have been reading the posts. Okay, My problem isn't with the maps. It's kinda with the story. You have to tell at least the beginning to "hook" people. A game is like a novel. the cover could be beautiful, but if the story sucks, then...well you know. Also, I'd suggest you improve your grammar or have someone proofread it first. No one wants to play a game when the characters say things, like,"LOL, LMFAO11!!"

With that being said, good luck and godspeed. We all have to start somewhere.

You better not be posting just to plug your own game. 

@Faily-Man

Please, don't double post. It was only three hours in between your post about the demo, and your second post. Give people a chance to play it. Geez.

I might give it a go, if I have time.

 

[Energy]

oh, ok. sorry about the double post thing.

 

[greenninja89]

No...I really wanted to help. It just occured to me to tell him to check it out. What kind of jerk does that? If I stooped that low, then I might as well spam every topic I can find.

Oops. I meant to use this smily: Not this one:

Which means I was joking.

 

[greenninja89]

Oh. okay. Lord of fail, disregard these last three posts.

 

[Energy]

[Energy]

It's really the only one that works on my computer

New demo!

Not completely perfect, but still worth uploading before i leave for today.

 

[Energy]

Bumptastic! new demo. :P

 

[Ratty524]

Do you mean you have a new demo up today, or are you talking about your most recent one? If the second question is the case, please bump your thread only when you have a significant update. :/

 

[Xilef]

I noticed that you spelt "Bleet" wrong in your avatar. Taht mitsake on porpuse? You have to get it ferpect.
And i don't really get your signature. Is the fact you managed to make the sign board split in half the joke?

But anyhow, you shouldn't really release a new "demo" every 4 days or what, you want to make significant story and length changes in ever demo release to show progress, and I doubt you can show drastic progress from a few days (Mapping doesn't count).
Say, if you add in a sexy cat girl in school uniform and it's a whole side quest then that'll be a significant change...
And yeah, what Ratty524 said...

Actually, in American English, "bleat" is spelled right, and those screenshots were edits, check the first few posts to see what I mean.
