[spoiler]     You and your best friend Deedo live in the Molen Mountains. Deedo is 2 years younger than you and he is an orphan. Your mom and dad let Deedo eat with your family often. Deedo lives at "Old Man Dabba's House" (which you will never get to see in the game).

     Your 20 year old, older brother, (Dice) is fighting in the army but should be coming back about 2 days after the "Light's Shadow" starts (due to the war ending last week). You have been getting strange dreams and nightmares in your sleep ever sence Dice left to fight in the war.

     Molen Mountains has a volcano on it which erupts and seperates you and Deedo, when Deedo get's lost in the storm. The mountain erupts while you and Deedo are "exploring" in the mountains.

QuoteMapping needs improvement, too many empty spaces

it may seem that way because screenshot #2 is in the plains.

I do need some things, if there is anyone that can help. The following things are origionaly from different posts of mine. Here are some things that I need.

[spoiler=Need Some Sprites]

Green chocobo knight (rider)
Pink chocobo knight (rider)
Blue chocobo knight (rider)
White chocobo knight (rider)
Black chocobo knight (rider)

[spoiler=Need a Battler]

QuoteI really need a battler for this:

But I don't want him to have armor on. I need him to have the clothes that he is wearing in the sprite set.


This is really important! please someone help me!
Thank you so much if you help!

[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Need a Battle Transition]

QuoteI need the final frantisy X battle transition. If anyone can help, that would be great!

[/spoiler]

can anyone get me those resorces?

Also, Ewan and Erk are mages from Fire Emblem, and Rebecca is a archer for Fire Emblem. :p

Hmmm...Anyways, that desert mountain area seems to empty. You need to post a story soon aswell.

~Shell Shocked

Still.. it needs improvement Some work needs to be done yeah but i wish u luck

Quotethat desert mountain area seems to empty

its a desert! what do you want me to put in it? lollypops?

QuoteEwan and Erk are mages from Fire Emblem, and Rebecca is a archer for Fire Emblem

I know..... I couldn't think of anything else..... And I love (kinda obsesed with) Fire Emblem!

Do I have any volunteers for beta testing? It's like 97% done but I want to send out some betas just to see what people think. If you do all of the side quests. It's like a 5 hour game (all of the side quests are not done yet) but if you go through the story line only, it's probably like a 2-3 hour game.

ps. for a little while in the beginning of the game, your battler is a little crap drawing that I drew on paint. The battler is like this because I don't have the battler that I need (posted in this topic previously). So deal with it, or make me the battler. The chocobo race isn't ready yet because I still need some sprites. And the battle transition is something a little different because I don't have the one that I want yet (posted in this topic previously).

I hope you all like the game! So who wants to be a beta tester?

pm me and tell me: why you want to test, what you think about my game, if you have any recourses that I need or can make some sooner or later, and what suggestions you have for my game.

why doesn't anyone wanna beta test?

I'll beta test

pm me and tell me what i asked for in the previous post

how do I attach the folder with the game in it to a post on a forum? do I need to zip it?

in the game click file compresss game data, click create encrypted...then you can zip/ but don't need to, just upload the file it made.

I think I get it but you said it all in like 1 or 2 sentences so I got confused. is this it?

• 1. While in rmxp (editing the game) I press "make game disk"
• 2. I click on "encrypt game data"
• 3. I extract the game to where I want (example: desktop)
• 4. I compress the extracted data
• 5. I attach the file to the forum

are those the steps?

pretty much  :tpg: And i can beta-test if you want.

yep, thats the steps.  ;)

ok, if you want to beta test, make a reply to this post and say: "55555"
I'm not gonna make an open beta test because the game is almost done.

ps. the beta go's through the whole storyline. but it doesn't have some side quests.
pss. after beating the game, try to give me some slack when criticizing my game. because it's my first working game.

like this:

55555-[your name]

55555-[Darico]

lol

Hm, I've finished your title, I decided to give it to you personnally. Sorrry for the wait.

My compliments, that's really good.

thanks for the title! its really good!

I dont have a cbs right now. just the battle system that comes with rmxp. does anyone have nice cbs that I dont need side-view battlers for? I've looked for one and I don't like what I see.

why dont u just keep what comes with rmxp then? Just add a few of blizzards scripts to spice it up a little xD

http://z3.invisionfree.com/ChaosProject/index.php?showtopic=55

Why don't you add this, it looks cool.

QuoteWhy don't you add this, it looks cool.

I made a new project and tested that script but nothing changed. it was just the same as the defult one. what was it sopposed to do?

I decided to make it an open beta test. you can download the game at the link below.

please cut me some slack when critizicing my game, remmember: its my first game worth posting on this forum

I hope you all enjoy the game! (remmember, its just a beta)

did anyone try out my game?

I get a 404 error. Can't find the page.

hmm, ill try to fix that


[edit]

here, try this link:
taken off

and if that doesn't work, try going to the website, then type in the code at the bottem of the screen and then downlaod it manualy:
taken off

if those dont work, then tell me and ill post it on my own website.

i think the first link died again, but the last one that i posted should work. what do you guys think?

now did anyone try my game?

I haven't gotten very far. It's a bit too fast though. It's like cutscene, walk 2 secs, cutscene. "Let's explore". Then it cuts to the end of the exploration without any exploring and the village is on fire. I just don't know what's going on. Mapping could use some work, but I'd think about re-eventing the opening to make it a flow a little more naturally. I can't comment on the story because I haven't gotten far enough yet.

up until you get to triakaa village, real game starts, befor that is just the prologe

Okay, I am going to make a few suggestions. First, encrypt your game files before uploading. Second, take those spoilers off the main heroes as it's a hassle to look at them. Third, PM a mod and tell them to move this to Projects/Games as it meets the requirements I believe. Finally, give credit: You are using Blizzard's Lvl Up Notifier, and you are using the CMS I wrote for you, but you don't mention Blizzard at all and you credit Darklord for the CMS. You also have a Floating Location Window - I don't know who made it but chances are it wwasn't you, so give credit.

I'll play the game later.

sry about the 'darklord' credit thing. i mistyped. and i forgot to give the other people credit for things also. ty for the comment

just so everyone who plays my game knows: when you use the air ship in this beta version, you just warp to you destination. in the final version: the world map will be alot better, and after you select your destination in the world map you will warp to the airship which you will have to wait on for 1 min.

the only thing i need for those 2 edits is a good world map tile set.

ok, i took off the open beta test because i was adding to my game so much latley that it was a hassle to make a newbeta everytime i do something to my game. it will be back up in a day or 2

When you put it back up, remember to encrypt it.

QuoteWhen you put it back up, remember to encrypt it.

what does encrypting it do?

i finished the world map and airship. everytime you wanna go somewhere on the aiship, you have to wait on it for 1 min.

I jsut noticed, this isn't a game maker game is it?

oh, i didnt even notice lol!

update!

in the first post of this topic i added:

• The basic storyline for the intro of the game
• The ages and positions of the heroes (not the optional ones)
• a world map of the game under the screenshots section

ok, i think the game is as done as it will ever be. the only thing not working right now is the Chokobo Race and i dont think that will ever be working because i cant get the chocobo rider sprites that i need. ill most likely post the "beta" version up soon

-I can lay ontop of the dad in bed
-Interior mapping is bad. where the heck it the outside of the walls? and you marked the door with a carpet + no rooms
-Game freezes when I exit door. I pressed DOWN right when I left the door and game froze
