There are some slightly altered graphics and add ins, but they are all RTP graphics.

We are working really hard and have a chunk of the script written, and a part of the actual game done. Well graphics wise anyways. We will be releasing it soon, because we are determined. And because I am a master of RPG Maker. Oh! One more thing it is being built on RPG Maker VX!


Game Name: Random RTP Adventure
Author: GLG and Michael_sama
Music: RTP
Graphics: RTP/Slightly Altered RTP
Type: Comedy/Drama
Platform: RPG Maker VX
Time Expect to be ready: April 1, 2008

It will be playable by people who don't have RPG Maker VX at all, I think. I will use that compress thing in the game and embed the RTP + Encrypting the game.

EDIT: We are not only now using RTP from VX we are also using the RPG Maker XP RTP including Music etc.!

Awesome.

My friend Dox and I both got to talking about RPG's and decided to make one together by blending our current projects. I'll use your little form.

I started work on a game about a week ago, im debating on whether or not to have it completely custom graphics and music. If i did that i would need a partner, cause i am just getting started in spriting.. Anyway, here is the game i am currently working on.

Game Title - "The Moons Of Drala"
The moons of Drala is a tale of love, hate, friendship, and enemies. Like all good rpgs lol.

You start out as Zen Fuyu,(Although you can change the name.) a easy, outgoing guy who is usually the first one to crack a joke. He comes from the village of Doru, Small and on the outskirts of the main village of Tesmu. His parents started his training in battle when he was nine years old. His father, Lorisku was a kind man, but did not like being dis-respected. Zen made the mistake of calling him old when he was twelve, and ended up getting smacked across the face with the side of a blade. His mother, Maria wasn't around for long, she passed away shortly after zen turned twelve. She was the loving mother, whenever zen got hurt during his training, she was right there, with a bandage and a kiss. He never had any brother's or sisters, he was an only child. But he didn't mind it much, after all he had his father. But, that wasn't to last either, One night, at the end of autumn, The village of Yoruix attacked Dolu. The townspeople fought against the tide, while the royalty fled. Lorisku picked up his blade and hurried zen out the back door and into the forest of Iuxe. Zen was twelve at the time of the attack, his father thought him too young, he thought himself ready. He hurried out of the forest back towards the town, his small dagger clutched in his hand. He rounded the corner of the mayor's house to find his father engaged in combat with two soldiers. Lorisku swung his blade in a circular motion out towards the neck of the soldier at his right, but in doing so he left his left side unguarded. The soldier swung out, the sword moving in-between Lorisku's rib cage and into his lung. Zen stood and watched, tears rolling down his face as he was struck motionless. Now... Thirteen years later, the village has been rebuilt, family's restored. Zen only passed by the village from time to time, too much heartbreak had occured there for him to bare. The mayor stopped him one day, and asked "Zen, i have a request for you, i need you to go to the town of Drala. There is a tradesmen there by the name of Desux. He is carrying with him a package that i need." Gazing out towards the outskirts of Doru as he pondered, taking a breath he said "Nice to see you to mayor, wonderful to know im your delivery system now." The mayor's teeth gritted as he looked at zen, replying slowly "Listen, i need the package because it contains the money the townspeople made during the harvest. Now please go get it." Sighing Zen tapped his foot and said "Fine, only because it is the townspeople's money. I will be gone for a week at most. Goobye for now mayor." He walked out of the village and stretched, taking a small look back he turned and headed forward, towards the town drala.

You won't finish it if everything is custom. Also, no one would want to play it because it would look horrible. That is - only because you're just starting. I've been spriting for quite some time, and even then, I still don't think I'm ready to actually start making the custom graphics for Dox and I's game as of yet. And I'm better than 95% of RM spriters by now.

I like the pemise, however I would suggest a name that isn't... Zen... Also how did Zen spend the 13 years between the raid and present day? Just fix that and if you make it with the RTP style, you'll have no problem.

Send me some sprites you made and I'll look them over for you man. I'd love to help you get better. ;)

My RTP adventure is going to be the best and the easiest to mess with. I have so far created a special class changing system and a special buying system. This game may be using RTP, but that doesn't mean I can't use some special features.

My game will be one of the first RMVX games available! Not to mention I used a few extra scripts in it.

I have been creating my own custom sprites for about a year-and-a-half now. I still make sprites that just look plain odd.

One more thing, I've been creating my Max sprite and it is looking alright so far!

Expect the Random RTP Adventure beta 1, to be ready in about 1-2 months. If you want to play the games beta 1 form, you have to contact me. I will allow some people to preview it (after all I need feedback before its release).

All of this stuff that i mentioned will be dictacted through events on the first map, before he gets back to Doru. I have an option for people to pick there name, i just used Zen Fuyu because it means"Just Winter, or Good Winter".

That was just a basis of my story plan, i plan on eventing the scene where his dad dies and all of that. I might just use the character sets i have downloaded, and when im done with a few games (Be a couple years at least) Then i'll start thinking about a custom one, I am working on the hair of my first sprite, it's a pain, But i will send it to you if you want atnas the moment i get the hair done.

*Sigh* The moons of drala has failed :(. Why? because of the fact it was all just maps and no story line aside from what i posted, i didn't know how to add anything to it, so i ditched it. And began work on another project.

Game Name : Magical: Sky of Nerox
Graphics : Character sets made from a generator, they look awesome for the battlers im using.
Battle system : DBS with a ATB system
A few other scripts, like ums, bars, and a script which allows two handed weapons and weapons to attack twice.
Estimated Time of Arrival : November - December 2008

That sounds like a much better plan. First games should always be simple.

And I think the DBS is an awesome system, by the way.

Yeah, i was looking around and decided to use the DBS with an Active time battle system, cause turn based gets old. And i figured that instead of going for a huge project, i would slow it down. Right now i am naming the weapons and armor and stuff, i already have everybody's skill's named and animated, the main characters anyway. I have a few maps done, and i am starting on the story line tomorrow evening.

That sounds great. Now you're making me want to scratch that RM itch.

Must... Resist...

Hahaha, No don't resist, give in! haha, i have the first five maps created and im working on the story line when im not doing that. I downloaded an icon pack with 1421 icons in it O_O...and i still need to import them... lots of clicking..

If you get RMVX in English, it comes with a premade file. And there are some beautiful stages created with it. Man they are skilled.

Haha, yeah i would say they would be pretty amazing, since they have to test it and all of that stuff.

I should take some snapshots of the levels, but not right now. I am deep in homework, and am taking a 3-minute brake. Well, I'm off, again.

a new "Current Projects" thread reply
 

Ok... I figured seeing as of how my game is still early in development, i would take a few screen shots

Ok..it is more then a few...SO BEWARE, IMAGE HEAVY!!!! .... :P


http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...unfinished.jpg

Just a random map, will add more to it later.

http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...hotofskill.jpg

Starting skill that ecvid has.


http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...otofstatus.jpg


Icons, bar's, stats.. And if you're wondering what that gap is between shield and sword. I am using a multi slot script with allows for the person to weird two handed weapons, two weapons, attack twice with one weapon, equip boots, gauntlets etc, basically adds more slots.


http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...hotoftitle.jpg

Ok...the picture i will be using as a title...the text however...will be changed and edited around so it isn't just a red text in the corner of the title.

http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...screenshot.jpg

Just a quick shot of damage...Level 1 Ecvid FTW!!!!


http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...SystemShot.jpg

Just a quick screeny of the battler type's im using, there are alot of enemies in my game..gonna be about 200..because thats about as many battlers i have for enemies...and one for a party..yes..this is a one person main character game!! wooot!!...


Well..thats every screen shot i have at the moment, scroll down and you will see two more i put up prior to this edit. Well..off to work i go!!

It looks nice. I like that mini character in the left side during battle.

http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...SystemShot.jpg

Photobucket has an img tag premade. See above ^

will this game be playable to people without any rpg maker??

As long as he packs the file, it should be playable to people with RMXP.

Yeah, i will pack it once i feel satisfied with it for a demo, which will be awhile. So until then here is two more screen shots.

http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...EcvidsRoom.jpg

Starting room of the game.


http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...yu/HouseIn.jpg

The house which the starting room is apart of.

I'm looking at this picture, and I wonder. Did you set it up correctly to be able to walk under the top of the room openings (door space).
------------
I found out that my new English Starter KIT will work on the Japanese versions of the game. game.rvproj -Notepad-> RPGVX 1.02 -change to-> RPGVX 1.00

Geez they didn't even try to stop people.

yes i did, i am able to walk under it, that top space is on the third layer, but yes i am able to walk underneath it, however if i had extended it out one more square, then i wouldn't have been able to.

Why wouldn't you have been able to walk under it with one more tile. The overpass should be an event with an "always on top" setting.

I'm not fantastic with eventing, so i am trying to keep it as simple as i can.

You know, if you need me to. Can I take a look at what you have going and possibly make some changes and show you how to do'em that way your game will be more flexible when doing things.

I had to self-teach myself, and I would have rather someone else had taught me. So I'm giving you the chance. Take it or leave it, I doesn't bother me.

You probably don't care much, but your mapping is horrible, Coriander.

Too much open space, there's no reason why your maps shouldn't be realistically arranged. :)

That's the exact reason I want I want to take a look at the file and work with it.

I am fully aware my mapping is shitty. This is my first game...hence why i put everything on there is going to be changed. The maps will be re-arranged and everything else. And if you want to GLG, i will pack the file and send it too you sometime tonight.

Yes please. Hmm...Do you know how to work FTP, I will make an area specifically for you. And give you the login for it. That way you don't have to upload it though a third party. I'll send you a program and the login/pass.

For some who are reading this you may think I am giving him my login and password, that is wrong. I am giving him one area of the site so he can upload things.

That reminds me I need to buy a new domain name.

Yea sure man. Why not. Just gimme about thirty minutes, kinda swamped at the moment.

New version.

Whatcha think?

http://d.1asphost.com/nevermore2ascend/map.jpg

Complete with gratuitous blood splatter, too! :p Nice.

How've you done the borders, out of interest? Just a lot of straight lines?

Aye, I got bored redrawing the countries. So they're basically rough edges. Not how I sketched at all.

I know a fella on another forum who's put together a couple of tutorials for map-building in Photoshop (it's a SF & F forum, and we all like to make our own maps). He's only got two up (building the map from scratch in PS, and then adding the paper background), but they're good:

http://www.jezelf.co.uk/tutorials.htm

Whilst the building a map from a sketch tutorial isn't yet written, I doubt it'd be hard to follow the steps from the first tutorial, but build it to a general shape, rather than randomly placing the cut out bits together.

The only criticism I have about your map is the jagged lines. Not that they're jagged, but that there are too many of them, and they're very sharp. Personally I think that fewer looks better.

You might want to put in a few rivers, too, and maybe mountains and forests, just to make it look more credible.

EDIT: If you need persuading that the tutorial works, here's one I did in Photoshop using it as a guideline:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97.../mapklomar.jpg

Notice the supreme lack of mountains a trees. ;) :p

Excellent tutorial.

I have a new current project.

Due to my site, everything on this Earth has slowed down.

Current Projects :

RMVX - Random RTP Adventure - Condition: On Hold
RMVX - Ruins: Another RTP Filled Adventure - Condition: Low Focus
RMXP - Unwell: SOTWNMTB : BTE - Condition: On Hold Since 2007
Coding - Website - Condition: Main Focus

I am pissed off now..My computer crashed and took a good majority of my shit with it. Including Skype, Yahoo, My RPG Makers, and a good majority of my pictures and other folders. I lost diablo II, Track Mania Nations, and Maple Story. I am now in the process of re-downloading my shit. Including Rpg Maker XP. So what does this mean? MY GAME IS FUCKING GONE IS WHAT IT FUCKING MEANS! Since all my shit has been destroyed by my peice of shit computer I have to start Magical:Sky of Nerox over from scratch..Item Icons, Summons, Spells, Weapons, Characters all that shit and more. This...Sucks..Ass...

I have the file you uploaded for me still. Do you want me to upload it, even though it's most likely older than the one you had?

I don't know dude, I have had writers block for the past few days..and since I was writing it in Wordpad, the document itself is gone, Hence the storyline as well is gone. To be honest, I would say trash it And I will go on with a new storyline and shit...Basically A new project all together. I have a headache now..Great.

Well, there's one positive, I re-uploaded all of the RPG Makers to my site, and my site just went back to normal after the host had some technical difficulties. Go and download 'em!
