Battle Arena

I have added a Battle Arena to my main menu. Now, you can access the mini-game Battle Arena. You can do this whenever you want, even if you haven't played the main game yet.

Spoiler for Battle Arena Scrennies:

Im new to the boards and saw this place. As I'm making an RPG, obviously, I decided to post it here.

Its about five people who become trapped in something known as the "Other World". There only hope of escape is to remember where they come from and defeat King Doom, the evil King of Other World. I'll also post more info when I come up with some good names for my characters. At the moment, there named after people I know. 




I'll get screenshots and stuff when I get more done.

Tell me what you think.

Story

It was a normal day. Each of our hero's is living there lives, completley unaware of the upcoming events. Suddenly, a gigantic dark hole appears before each of them, and they get sucked in.

Each appear on a small island called the Altar of Destiny. They are quickly rushed through game controls and background info( you acually only spend a total of five minutes at the Altar), and are sent on there way. Nathan awakes in by a large tent, and is filled with unfamiliar memories....

Extra Information

• You witness the black hole later in the game.
  You can also control a monster party at certain points during the game.

I've got one more screen:



So, what you think?

The map needs work, but I can make you somethin good =)

mapping as mentioned..needs work..mainly in the feeling of them..its sorta empty, and a good thing to do is not to post the new info in a new post but to actaully edit your first post and add the screenshots/ character info there.

Ok, any updates will be put in the fouth post, as there is already is more info there.

@Nikolai: I'm going to take that offer, help. Please.

Ok, *gets to work on Castle exterior*

EDIT: Ok, I've attached the map pic to this post.

Thanks!

EDIT: Sorry to ask, but how do I acually use it and get it onto my game?

you don't really. He has posted a screenshot of how he made it, use it as a guide...unless you actaully want him to transfer his game folder to you, and then you copy and paste the map into your game.

here, this is how I would fix nik's map:

Good details nev, and blizzard, awsome map.

WEll Good Luck with your game i guess.

Good details nev, and blizzard, awsome map.

HAHAAHHAH nightworlf.....Blizz never posted a map here?

you got nik confused with blizz...he is using blixx's old avy 

When I see Nicky's posts I think "WTF?! When did I say that? ... Oh yeah... right..."

:=

lol @ blixx

lol, thanks for the feedback.

@Nouman6: Now, how do i use that map?

you have to re-create it 

Lol, its like I show you how it looks, then you make it similar or the same as my example.

OH! Now I get it.
I'll give it a go.

EDIT: Grr...I can't do it. I cant get the castle right, I'm getting agitated.

I'd normally put this on post 4, but its to much of an important update to just put in a post people may not see.

Demo Update
I've got very far in the demo now, so I'll more than likely going to be out by next week. Good news, eh? Check this post for more info.

The demo has two sections. One from near the begginning, and one near the end. Don't worry, they give barley anything away, and theres not even all the info in there that'll be in the main game. More soon.

tip:

Add all new updates to the first post, screenshots, character info.. But then add a new post to the topic saying what you have added.

You want your first post to be BOOOM amazing. Because well, its the first post people see when they enter the topic.

A few I would do differently:-



The Barrels to the side of the house I would have placed them indivually using the paint brush tool rather than the drag rectangle, as some time you get clipping like the top barrel...

I would add dark grass area's around the building to make it look like shadow... same on path edges etc... I would make things uniform in Castle like area's...

See Nouman6's Tutorials:- http://theforge.myfastforum.org/forum5.php

They are pretty fricken good, I bet he nocked that image up above in about 15mins...

Ok, thanks for the advice.

There is an update on the first page.

Problem, the forth barrel next to the house only has a top, no bottom ?

Oh, yeah, I never noticed that!
