UPDATES

-04/17/07

I just started on the World Map yesterday. I'm using The Inquisitor's(www.rpg-palace.com) World Map tileset.
Expect the map to be big. And detailed.


I plan to have ships that will transport you to and from the 10+ ports. There will also be horses, teleportation mages, and more.
You may still traverse the world by walking through the seperate maps. It will take longer(obviously).


There will be 2-5 different region types(snow, plains, forest, deserts ect).
Tons of small tropical islands dot the vast ocean.


-05/01/07

This month some major changes will happen.

First of all, there's a chance I'll cancel the project on RMRK, and move it to forums with more focus on RPG Maker then being a chatroom for a bunch of unfunny MySpace whores.

I'll most likely keep it here, though.


Second, I'm going to change the name.

And thirdly, I'm going to completly change the story(and gameplay). I'm not likeing where it's going, and it's to cliched.

Not bad...not the best. Sounds good, but most is under development, so when you estabalish more of a base in all aspects, then you will find more people comment, ect.

I might get the demo later.

Well, you're doing a nice job. Your interior maps leave a lot to be desired, they're just kind of too open and you emphasize too much on the edges. Your exterior maps are beautiful though, you fill the space so well. However, there are a few problems, namely overlapping.

(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg186.imageshack.us%2Fimg186%2F5589%2Ftheswordscreenshot4gt8.png&hash=dc74059e5cc00b08fdad9dd2fb4e061d857e3fba)

The two trees to the right of this one aren't done correctly. The tree that should be behind the other one is in fact in front of it. You have to be careful with that, as it tends to look pretty bad, especially when done excessively. Overall good job though, hope to see you improve because you have great potential.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll fix those trees and the interior maps.

Morrowind, from what these users are saying you have too many errors, gliches, and problemes. Make sure the demo works correctly before you create the demo. This is just some advice.

This is retarded for two reasons:

1. How can you test something before you create it?

2. That's the whole fucking point of putting it here, so people can point out what bugs are in the game. Someone needs to put a defibrillator to your head.

If you need a good TBA, I liked zeniths on hbgames.org, I point this out because I find it extremley easy!

Also, your mapping could do with some work...but still, to say you start a few weeks ago its good.

The closest thing to a forum focused on RPG Maker is RMXP. And they're rude there.

You could take it to CHaosProject, but they only have 150 members. Your best bet is to have your project here.
