Fighting people brings up your respect, More respect the more people respect you. Depending on who you be freinds with is what group your gonna be in. Has anyone seen this in real life somewhere?

This game is pretty much life in school...

Remove the punk part, because the misconcspetion is skaters are punk, but that's far from the truth. In fact a lot of real punks dont like skaters.

You get to turn lights on and make him wave his arms, Bad deeds give you respect. Notice everythings still plane and simple? I just finished like 5 maps and posted them, like only 3 event in each.

You need to make your maps more detailed. They look so plain ...  :|

Post by: MrMoo on October 16, 2005, 09:07:43 PM
They look plain on those, The whole map itself is alot bigger and more detailed. anyways i never added people to most of em yet.

More of the City

errr... work on your mapping :S
although i really like how the game sounds. what is the main goal?
Title: The Chronicles of Black
Post by: lunarknight168 on October 16, 2005, 10:34:51 PM
Cool game. I'm asian too and the game does kinda remind me of real life in school. It game also reminds me of GTA:San Andreas because of the whole gaining respect thing.
Title: The Chronicles of Black
Post by: MrMoo on October 16, 2005, 10:48:12 PM
I guess most of the indoor maps kinda suck, Your main goal depends on the job.

Gangster: Gain most respect and become the Crime lord of the city
Azn: Become even more asian then the asians themselves. (beat them in games and stuff)
Skater: Beat all the skaters, (kinda like tony hawk, but with crappy moves)
Fag: Try to become aa normal kid again
Girlyman: Enter the fashion show and become Miss "WTF"
Nerd: Become the smartest person in the city
Smoker: Smoke every type of smokey thing known to man
Leb: Beat the gangsters in a gang war
Goths: Make pain and suffering aroud the world

It's kinda like "to be the best at this job"
I'll make up better stuff later...
Title: The Chronicles of Black
Post by: purifier on October 16, 2005, 11:45:20 PM
Looks good, though I think you should add somethings like:

Normal Kid
Loner

etc.


You'd be surprised at how many different types there are (maybe...). A normal kid is just someone who doesn't really fit into any of the catagories you listed. and you don't really have a Loner (the one kid who prefers to be alone). Though a loner can't really be better than other loners... except maybe being the "most alone".... lol.
Title: The Chronicles of Black
Post by: MrMoo on October 17, 2005, 12:10:50 AM
You start off as a normal kid and turn into any of the classes, loner would be like a fag. Anyways there is no such thing as a "normal kid". Everyone has their groups.
Title: The Chronicles of Black
Post by: purifier on October 17, 2005, 12:13:35 PM
I would like to argue that point. I see myself as none of the above listed. So, I'm sorry of your narrow point of view.
Title: The Chronicles of Black
Post by: MrMoo on October 18, 2005, 12:07:59 AM
You don't have to be in the above, those are just the majority of the school. How can you be normal if you don't know what is normal or not normal? How can you tell your normal if no one else is normal? Everyone thinks they are "Normal" becuase they think their group is better, but when they join another group, they think that group is better. You always want to be better than anyone else. If you live in the ghetto, high chance you will be "gangster" or "street like", If you lived where a bunch of vietmese people lived, your gonna be Azn or Azn wannabe, people comfort themselves with thoughts of being better than everyone untill they find out they are all in the same group.

My point is, there is no normal

Anyway about the game, I'm making it so when you pass the exam you go to next term. Next term will open new maps and stuff to do, kinda like GTA:SA.

Post by: DarkGoten on October 22, 2005, 10:15:29 PM
Mapping really sucks no offence.
But what's the goal.
Title: The Chronicles of Black
Post by: MrMoo on October 23, 2005, 01:07:34 AM
strange, my testers say its pretty detailed, I don't know how my mapping really sucks but when I see some people, thier maps only use 1 or 2 layers, so don't be bitching over uncomplete maps.

I don't think simulators are suppose to have goals, but for school, I think the goal is simple, Pass. If you pass a few terms, you unlock more maps, cities, and other stuff.

I added this thing where if you talk to key people, you can be friends or enemies with them. Most people are just NPCs that say useless crap or sell stuff, Key NPCs are the ones who you can do stuff like, Talk, Action, or Gift. Actions include, Steal Item, Steal Money, and Fight. Gift depends on who it is.

Post by: Kingdomfan423 on October 23, 2005, 03:08:30 AM
I say you should add a drifter class. Drifter's are those who have friends in most other groups and go from one to the other.

I was thinking this point of view is pretty narrow, too.

Not to mention politically incorrect.

It's like, "HEY!  Let's make a video game based on every stereotype possible!"
Title: The Chronicles of Black
Post by: blitzkriegbop15 on November 13, 2005, 07:11:52 PM
Who cares about being "Politically Correct"? Plus this is a clever idea for a game. It's a great satire of the ridiculeousness of stereotypes and cliques.

Post by: MrMoo on January 30, 2006, 11:47:03 PM
Okey, if you people are offended by this game and decide to post bull**** then thats the reason I'm making fun of idiots like you. I'm keeping the classes I put in the game so shut the hell up.

Anyways, I have a event runed system.
C/Space - Punch, Action, Accept
X - Cancel, Menu
Z/Shift - Item menu shortcut
A - Skill menu short cut

The skills are run by status effects, for example: Fury - Reduce 50% Vit for 25% Attack power. Useful if done correctly. Skills are gained by having enough Agi, and money to buy the skill. You train stats by doing puzzles at diffrent levels. (Battle System Run by Events and Variables)

Attack - Damage is based on weapon
Strength - Adds to critical damage
Stamina - Adds Vitality
Intellegence - Adds Energy
Agility - Used for skill progression

You gain money for everyday that passes, but only at your original house. You can buy other places but you have to work for money. You hunger goes down quick so it would be a good idea to stock up on food. I included a map in the manual incase you get lost in the first section of the city.

Current Locations - South East(Ghetto and Shopping areas) and North West(Suburbs), Industrial(Jobs and Law Enforcement), Banff National Park(Terrorist base and vacation spot), Jasper Icefield(Also no point to this place but what the hell).

Maps fill up with NPC's as you progress, some also act diffrent. People might attack you on some days becuase of respect points or something.

I made a Video and Wall paper(or a picture that could be used as one)
Posting it later

Making download version(60mb for good download and consumer needs, Not all quests, music, and maps are available, and after I release I
will never work on the download one ever again)

And a CD-Rom Version(150mb for maximum features, Alot more maps and quests, might upload it if people arn't scared to use their memory. Requires fast computers too)

New Screens:
