Title: Island Zephora
Post by: TheLeader13 on July 13, 2010, 05:10:43 PM
I'm currently working on my game that is to be titled "Island Zephora".

Story
[spoiler]
Edgar, the main character, has been sent to Zephora, a island full of mysteries, to visit and try to make some money for his family. Once arrived on the island, he has no idea where to go so he asks for information about the island. This then leads him to The Big Oak, where he slays a very strange monster, and saves a mysterious fairy. She tells him that the island is in great danger and that he is the only one who can save it. His adventure then begins.

Still working on it, but it's pretty good currently.

Well, I'm still working on it (of course), so I don't have many people right now.
But I redid quite a few things, like the port, I'm working on a new story etc...

I'm redoing the story since it needs to be a minimum of 100 letters on another forum for it to be posted.
Btw, I'll TRY to get some new pics.

The story looks a little bland to me, though I suppose that's since it's just a premise and doesn't get very far into it.  I'd take care when writing it though, as it doesn't seem that involved or original.

Also, your mapping is pretty good, but I'd try to spice it up more, maybe use the elevation/cliffs a bit more, or use a fog for lighting and shadow or something.  Compositionally the maps look alright but for some reason they're just not standing out to me.

I guess clichés are unavoidable, but hey, the game can still be fun right? xD One thing that bothers me a little is the world map. Is there any way to manipulate the chipset so it looks less...square...ish? I mean, you don't normally see jagged shorelines right?

RMVX is very square.
