Kyte

The hero of the game. He's young and naive. However, he seems to have a great sense of survival. He love fighting and challenges, but killing is another story for him.

Len

Kyte's personal navigator. She's talkative - VERY talkative. And sometimes that annoys Kyle a bit. However, under the easy-going looks, she's actually a deep person and very clever as well. She'll help Kyte out in many situation, such as informing him about the incoming threats.

Chuck A.K.A. Bulky Chin

One of the pilot in the U.S.G project. Nobody really understand what he's talking since he always talk in a manly powerful way with only just two words like 'Chuck! Happy!' which might mean 'I'm feeling terrific right now to eventually be in the real mission, Wahaha!!' It seems like Kiki is the only one who understand what's he saying.

Kiki

Chuck's personal navigator. Although she's small and appear to be a little kid, she's actually as old as the other competitor. Still, her childish personality doesn't help proving that fact. She's really attach to Chuck, and since not so many people understand what Chuck say, it turns out she'll do the translator task more often that the navigator's one.

Lynk A.K.A. Pretty Boy

One of the pilot in the U.S.G project. He's obsessed with beauty. Thinking that he's in higher class and more beautiful than the rest of the competitors, it causes bad impression of his to many people. However, he's actually a nice guy, if you can stand all his self-praising. Although he looks like he can't beat anyone in arm-wrestling, he's actually a very clever person and love to destroy his enemies with tricky attack.

Gold D Blumen

Lynk's personal navigator. People also call her Ice Queen, due to her cold attitude. Somehow, she has become a friend of Kiki and Len. She doesn't talk much, and it seems like people prefer it that way since everytime she opens her mouth it's either sarcasm or praising Lynk's and her beauty.

that's pretty sweet, I like how you're using the older anime style, it looks great^-^

I'll check out the demo sometime soon

Post by: hima on April 30, 2008, 02:19:44 PM

@Falcon
It's not that bad actually. The only downside is that RGSS is pretty slow :( So the number of bullets on the screen is kinda limited

@NAMKCOR
Hey glad to hear that you can tell that it's the older anime style! It's a full game, by the way :)

@Tsunokiette
You don't need RTP or RMXP to run this game ;D

@Caro Ru Lushe
Yeah. That's our intention. The art are pretty much the parody of oldies anime style :)

Downloading this right away.
From your screenshots, the game seems very interesting indeed.

And nice cover page, by the way, nice use of lighting effects.

@NAMKCOR
Thanks! I really hope you can finish the game. I really want to know what you think about the story. ^ ^

Title: Re: [FULL GAME/RMXP/RPG-Shmup] U.S.G. ~ A New Beginning ~
Post by: Leventhan on May 02, 2008, 08:20:05 AM

I finished it, finally.
Also the extra mission Boss Rush thing.

The story was pretty well developed, and personally I think the moral was clear and useful. ;8
The twist was pretty awesome too, but I can't say what the twist is here. :P

Title: Re: [FULL GAME/RMXP/RPG-Shmup] U.S.G. ~ A New Beginning ~
Post by: hima on May 02, 2008, 08:57:04 AM

@Levent
That was pretty fast! I hope you didn't have a lag issue. RGSS is kinda slow so that's the only thing I'm worried about. What level are you at? Many people said the last boss is pretty easy...easier than the third stage haha.

I'm glad to hear that you like the story. It's the first thing that hit me when I thought of the contest theme, "A New Beginning". As for the twist, I agree that it's best to leave it to the player to find out in the game ;D

Post by: ahref on May 02, 2008, 06:41:07 PM

i experience lag on the second level when the bubbles were close to the edge of the screen but other than that its great :D

Looks pretty nice. I'll move it to the main Projects board since it's finished, and I am now downloading it.

Post by: hima on May 03, 2008, 06:32:37 PM

I have been reported that there's bug when you choose "new game" during title screen. If this problem occur , please tell me what the error message is so I would know where to start the fixing. Thanks!

Also, I realize that the writing suck. My bad :P The new version should be released soon as well as some bugs fixed and original ost. I'm also thinking about adding an extra boss. We'll see what happen :)

Title: Re: [FULL GAME/RMXP/RPG-Shmup] U.S.G. ~ A New Beginning ~
Post by: tSwitch on May 03, 2008, 08:28:10 PM

it's really a great game, I'm grinding to get the advanced weaponry right now just for kicks :3....~~that and I haven't been able to best the 5th boss yet :P~~

I'm really quite enjoying the game. Although I'm curious as to why it was made in RPG maker and not in Game Maker

edit: WOW what a twist
Great stuff there :) Awesome Game
Although the pronunciation of some of the words by the navigator is kinda annoying >.<
No big deal though

Title: Re: [FULL GAME/RMXP/RPG-Shmup] U.S.G. ~ A New Beginning ~
Post by: hima on May 04, 2008, 03:19:53 AM

@NAMKCOR
Oh, this was made in two months for the competition around December - March at hbgames.org. The rule said you must use RMXP, but did not restrict you to any game's genre. Just the theme of "A New Beginning" :)

I'm glad I did this in RMXP ,though. Taught me a lot of stuffs that otherwise Game Maker would automatically do it for me. I also made a shooting game with Game Maker and posted it here. It's called Hello Panda (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,26487.0.html) and if you like bullet hell shmup, make sure you don't miss it :)

I would like to ask one more question, do you have any problem with the stages' backgrounds? I have been reported that in some stages, the backgrounds are just black.

Hehe, you didn't see that twist coming did you? Probably because it's so ridiculous :tpg:

Title: Re: [FULL GAME/RMXP/RPG-Shmup] U.S.G. ~ A New Beginning ~
Post by: tSwitch on May 04, 2008, 03:23:22 AM

right as the twist was about to come I saw it, but that was just right as it was starting to be revealed and I was like "oh wait, no way!"

I haven't had an issue with the backgrounds, the music is just really choppy when it loops

Thank you Maia and Rune :) I hope you enjoy the game.

Unfortunately for people who haven't tried this game, I'll have to remove the game link for now. The new version that is much better is coming up. :)

Post by: maia on May 17, 2008, 03:10:53 PM

The mission with the flames gets a bit too difficult, but it depends on the weapons that you have I'm sure.

Title: Re: [FULL GAME/RMXP/RPG-Shmup] U.S.G. ~ A New Beginning ~
Post by: hima on May 17, 2008, 04:48:31 PM

Yeah that's probably the most difficult mission in the first half of the game. But I think it should be obvious what weapon you should use, right? ;)

Don't forget that you can upgrade your weapons and status too. Many people miss this because they couldn't see the number on the status and upgrade menu.

If you can't see the numbers in the status menu, please install the font that come with the game. I'll make an installer for the next version of the game so no one would have this problem in the future.

Post by: Zeriab on May 18, 2008, 01:13:36 PM

I remember that you can declare arrays of font names. For example:

Code: [Select]

bitmap.font.name = ["Your Font", "Funky Font", "Arial"]

This way the font will be Your Font if Your Font is installed on the computer
The font will be Funky Font if Your Font is not installed on the computer and Funky Font is installed
The font will be Arial if neither Your Font nor Funky Font is installed on the computer and Arial is installed.
Basically it tries the fonts specified from left to right until a font which exists is found.
