Note: This topic was totally re-made from its original form. Most of the maps in the topic is old, and dosen't exist in the game anymore. So they have been removed.

I've also made a support banner:


Post it in your signature to support the project.

Sounds a bit cliche to me, but it can probably be pulled off. Other than that it looks good.

Thanks for the comment Falcon. Im going to make this go off the clich'e trend.

Story and character bios has been updated.

Massive Update:

I've updated the whole first post. Updated character bios for 3 characters, and also a new name for the project: Wendia: Silentium Of Ventus.

I've also made a new sprite for Tamina:


The reason I did this is because it must show that sh'es a Wind Priest. It may look a bit strange right now, but Im working on it.

Also, I've edited the Wendia Tileset a bit:


I've added gold to the curtains, and also re-coloured the sofas. The benches is also re-coloured.

More updates will come soon.

I think it looks good. I agree that the story does sound a bit cliche, but I don't think that's a real problem as the world itself seems interesting enough to propel the game forward. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing where you take this Shadow. Good luck.

I kinda like the title "Silence of the Wind" better than the new name, but the game sounds awesome. I like how you used the VX battlers in there, and the mapping is almost orgasmic!

Thank you for the comment =)

Im currently working on the dialog so far into the game. Most of the dialog has some grammar errors, and that's the thing that takes the longest to get done for me.

A small Update:

Im going to tell more about the purpose for Ongria, the wind spirit, that will follow you during the game.

You can't save directly from the menu in this game. There will be zero save crystals or something like that. In this game, you need to talk to Ongria to save.


Also, later in the game, you will also be able to change part members with her help. The maximum amount of players in the party is 2. 2 In main party, and 2 in reserve.


Is there any bugs with this so far?
Problems with this system right now:
-Basicly, Ongria is starting on the spot where i placed the event. If you are in the middle of them map, she will basicly start in the beginning of the map. Im currently working on that.
-There's a chance that she will doom your party, especilly in puzzles. Right nhow, if you go into a corner, she will basicly cut your path, and you are trapped -_-

So, How are you going to solve these problems?
- I haven't solved the first problem yet, since Im still working on it. Suggestions are welcome.
- Basicly, Im planning to make a "Stay" command for her. If you feel that she will be in the way, you can actully tell her to stay. If you want her to move again, talk to her, and pick move.

These are the updates right now. More updates later.

Massive bump here!(And necropost)

Sorry for not posting here in awhile. I've been very busy lately, but now, Im going to start working on this again :smile:

Basicly, Im going to start to do some graphic edits, to make the game graphics more softer.

Here's some maps Im planning to have in the game:






More updates later on.

Great maps Black Shadow.

GREAT MAPS

the sky city reminds me a great deal of chrono trigger

BY THE WAY... MARICA means: "Quire" in spanish lol

so funny when i read it.

Yeah, I know MARICA means: "Quire" in spanish. Someone has already told me that on another site, but Im not planning to change the name.

Christmas is now over, and Im going to work on this again.
Im currently thinking on changing battle system. Im currently using the RTAB(Edited by Falcon), but Im planning to change it to TBS instead. Do you people think I should change it over to TBS, or should I stick with RTAB?

hehehe does alright you didn't have to, just put yourself in my position, spanish being my mother language.. it was funny.

Is it playable yet? a demo or something? i'd definitly give it a try..

No demo yet. Im currently having scripting issues, so no demo until they are solved.

I think you should go with whatever is best for you, and whichever seems to fit the style of the story/gameplay more.

I know i was only kiddin'.. i thought i was funny that's all. I never ment for him to change it, just to make him laugh.


Okay you let me know when you have anything playable

Final Version of the title:

Spoiler for:

And another map from the game:

Spoiler for:

Making a slow progress here ._., since most of the problems is the scripting, but I have someone who's helping me with that.

Really nice title screen Black Shadow

Lots of promise. Uh, not that it really matters but, you know how it says something along the lines of 'without the wind, the world will become a desert', a desert in what sense? Sand desert, or just a place without much rainfall...?

Basicly, a place that's been dryed to a sand desert, because it isn't raining.

A small update: I've done some progress

Im currently working on the version without the Ongrian system, so I have something to show up. I've also changed to a new menu system. Here's a screenshot of it:


The menu is made by Kendore, so credits goes to him.

Also, the game has a new Logo:


And it's not over yet! 2 new playable character has entered the game

Catty

Age: 20

An old friend of Marche, but are now enemies. Catty used to search for treasures and plunder with Marche. It is said that she was in love with Marche, but after a betrayal of Marche, they enemies. She is a thief just like Marche, but she's using knives as weapons, and her speed in battle is breathtaking.

Patty

Age: 22

Patty is a warrior, who lives in the town of Mist. One day, while takning a walk she saved Marica from a wild beast, and after that, she's been protecting her from danger. She uses the spear, and it is said that she once beat 20 bandits, without any help.

Im going to work more on their background later on.
And to end it all, a screenshot:

Interesting updates. The only thing I don't really like is the uneveness of the CMS, but all in all, it's very nice.

The only thing I don't really like is the uneveness of the CMS

Sorry if I sound really dumb here, but what do you mean with uneveness?

I think Alge is commenting on the fact that one side (the more in depth side) is longer than the other (where the play time and below are).

I like the skin though, nice colours and transparency rocks. : DD

Yeah, the character select window is a few pixels wider than the play time window, and then there's all that empty space under the status window - I think it would look better if that part were centred. There's also the fact that the command window has more options that aren't shown - with all that empty space, the command window could just be drawn larger to accomodate for extra commands.

All in all though, the menu design is solid and what is actually drawn in the windows look very good - the gradients look fantastic. It's just the positioning and size of the windows that sits a little uneasy with me.

Okay, then I understand. Thanks for pointing that out. I think I can fix that, hopefully<_<

Just to point out, Im still looking for someone to help me draw some battlers( Just for the six playable characters). If you are interested, PM me, or post in this topic.

Well, I am looking forward to a "classic" rpg experience. There's nothing better to unwind with than some epic fantasy and fun combat.

I have a comment about the title though. Maybe this is not important and this is just the latin scholar in me screaming, but "Silence of the Wind" is Silentium Vesti in Latin. "Silence of the Winds" is Silentium Vestorum. Winds should be in the genative form. You may not be going for scholarly accuracy,but it would rest better with me.

Looks great, though. Your tenacity is impressive.

Yeah, people have pointed out the spelling error with the latin before, but Im not planning to change it



For those who have noticed, yes, there's flowers and grass in the cave. The cave has connection to both sun and water, but I haven't made a sun-beam fog for the waterfall yet.

Im planning to have a demo until next week. Stay tuned.

Updates:

The game is rolling nicely now. Im glad to inform that Im planning to release a demo on Friday, for those who wants to play it

Some updates to the game:

New Ongrian System: The old, not working Ongrian System has been replaced by a new one. Credits goes to Jens009, for making this wonderfull system.

Also, the title has gained a new song, composed by Paradelous. Credit goes to you aswell
So keep you eyes open for the demo people^^

Lovin` the waterfall in the cave. Not sure if you can do this (haven't mapped in a long, long, long, long time), but perhaps, in the water fall itself, you could add...Layers, if you get me. Uh, crap explaination. As if some rocks were poking through. You know what? http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/3153/waterfalla.jpg (Lev's image, obviously VX). That'd be interesting if you could pull it off in XP.

Also, I think it'll look pretty damn brilliant when you add the fog, nice idea.

I think it's possible to fix that. I will take a look on it. Im currently working on those sun beams. I can't make it to work X_X*

Eitherway, there may be a chance that I release the demo without the sun beams tomorrow. Eitherway, the sun bema will be there un a future update of the demo.

Wow..I haven't updated in awhile.

Here's a new update for the game

Game is going a bit slow right now, but there's some good news

I've been talking with an artist from the same country as me, and she's going to do some artwork for me for payment. I have to say, it's defintly worthy the money

Here's some samples of her work:

Tamina


Ongrian

That stuff looks great Shadow. I'm looking forward to seeing the art she will produce for you

Thx

Im planning to use her art in the message system aswell, as faces.

This is a possible messgae system(Not 100% sure to use it yet. We will see when she sends the art to me. Im not sure about the font either. Need to find a good one pretty soon)

A small update here. I've began to change some stuff in the beginning of the game, so be prepared for screenshots soon

I've also improved the title screen(Script by Moghunter and edited by Theory)


The only thing I've changed is the graphics for New Game, Load Game and Leave. But I think it looks 100% better then before.

Marche as a thief? *gasp* And I loved that name. I'm a huge fan of FFTA, after all.

*cough* Please, ignore the fangirling above.
I think the panorama is a bit off, in the castle, but I really like the interface of the game.
Also, having art designer for your game adds more professionalism. Besides, her art is attractive.

Good luck!

Thank you

Im not sure about panorama either, but it's hard to find good ones

One part of the improved intro:
The Oracle Hall:

This is the last update, until I take a 2 week break on the game, because Im going to Turkey for 2 weeks.

Updated the first page with the new logo, made by ellenor. Many thanks goes to her for making it^^. Im also going to update the art section with all the logos for the game.

Here's the logo:


Just  to point out, people are allowed to make fan-art for the game. It just make me happy if people does that XD

I've returned from my 2 week vacation, and I will start working on this again, starting with new art by ellenor:

Very nice. I am looking forward to seeing what more you and Ellenor come up with!

Thx Modern.

My artist is still on vacation, so nothing new from the graphics. However, my musician has delivered 6 new songs for the game, which im very exited over.

A small, but not such a big update. The reason Im posting this is that Im looking for an event designer.

I know eventing, but not as good as other people. So making puzzles for the game is really hard, and it will take alot longer to finish the demo that way.

So, what will you do as a event designer? Well, basicly making puzzles for the game. That's pretty much it. If you want payment for it, I can only pay in maps, since I mostly don't want to use any money for this project(However, my artist gets paied in money, but that's because her work is so awesome)

So if you are interested in helping out with the eventing for the game, just PM me or post here.

Thanks in advance.

Okay, I know this is a double post, but I have something important to say.

Most of you have been waiting for a demo for a very long time. I was actully going to release it next week, since all the puzzles and stuff was done.

However, today, when I got another puzzle from another person, my computer crashed. It was probably a virus in it, or something else. The truth is, the computer dosen't work right now.
I don't know how much of the game that can be saved, but I hope it can be saved. I've worked so hard on this game. The game was a memory for my mother, who passed away in cancer one year ago. I've been working alot to finally finish the game. For now, the future of the game is in mystery. At the moment, everything is gone. The script Jens made custom for the game. The art ellenor made for me. Everything is gone right now. I hope for gods sake that everything can be restored. I have an old backup of the game, but it's really, really old.

Im glad for all the people that's been supporting the game. I want to thank all of you. Hopefully, the game will be restored. A for now, I don't know...

Aww I really hope your game can be saved, Shadow. I understand how hard it can be since I once lost one of my games, too, which I worked really hard on. That's why it's always good to have a recent back-up.

But hopefully, it's still here. We all support you and your game, too. ^^

Okay, 1 month has passed, so I should come with an update of the situation.

My computer works somewhat. The CPU level is always up on 57% or something, but I can use the computer. However, I needed to re-install RMXP, because when we re-installed windows, I forgot to add the RGSS2 files to the backup UBS(Stupid me >_<) But the project works, and I've started to work on it again

Other from that, it pretty much works, but Im planning to fix a new computer soon.

well, to say something positiv, I just wanted to point out that the project is having it's birthday today! I started with this project one year ago, and it's the first project that I've worked so long with.

Happy birthday Wendia:Silentium Of Ventus!

It's great to hear you're project wasn't wiped out or got a 'Corrupted Data' like it happens to me .__.

Thou I suggest then to make a back-up of everything, just a little tip to leave up.

Big Announcement

After 3 long years, I´ve decided to bring this game back from the death. There´s going to be some changes to the story to make it better, new graphics and there´s also going to be new characters, exept of Tamina and Zabath. All this is going to be a part of OrigamiRose productions. The first post in this topic has been edited.

Have a good day.( And sorry for the really big necropost)

Woohoo!

This looks absolutely gorgeous. Hope we will see more of it - and be able to play some of it!

This looks absolutely brilliant! Looking forward to play, and hope everything works out for you! Wish you all luck

Great! I'm looking forward to it Shadow! We missed you here.

Your maps look pretty awesome.
And custom made facesets FTW.

An Little Update Here:

Battler for Siegfried:


Skills Learning System


Edited The Battle System:

That looks nice, but could you explain the skill learning system? The screenshot isn't giving me enough to piece it together

Very cool. The creative bug burrows deep, and is restless. I have failed to finish every project up to now, and I'm going on a decade here.

But I didn't really have the maturity and discipline before. Now I'm more intelligent and disciplined in about every way. My game is growing steadily.

How has it been? Three years later, how much have you changed, and how is it effecting your game?

@Hiromu: You learn skills from weapons/armors/ect when you are
equipped with a certain weapon. As you can see as an example,
you can learn Cure and Wind from Mithril Pike. You need 100 exp
to learn Wind.  It's the same system as in FF IX.

@Razma: Pretty much has changed after 3 years. My english is
alot better now, and Im also better at using the program.  And
I also have the confidence to pay for art and stuff for the game,
now that I have a better income compared to 3 years ago.
