EDITS HERE

LATEST NEWS: No more demos will be avaliable. The next release will be the main game, hopefully in February.

Spoiler for Demo's Here(click to show links):

Battle Arena

I have added a Battle Arena to my main menu. Now, you can access the mini-game Battle Arena. You can do this whenever you want, even if you haven't played the main game yet.

Spoiler for Battle Arena Scrennies:

Im new to the boards and saw this place. As I'm making an RPG, obviously, I decided to post it here.

Its about five people who become trapped in something known as the "Other World". There only hope of escape is to remember where they come from and defeat King Doom, the evil King of Other World. I'll also post more info when I come up with some good names for my characters. At the moment, there named after people I know.

I'll get screenshots and stuff when I get more done.

Tell me what you think.

Edit, 7/12/06:

The demo is coming along way. It will be out next week!

It was a normal day. Each of our hero's is living there lives, completley unaware of the upcoming events. Suddenly, a gigantic dark hole appears before each of them, and they get sucked in.

Each appear on a small island called the Altar of Destiny. They are quickly rushed through game controls and background info( you acually only spend a total of five minutes at the Altar), and are sent on there way. Nathan awakes in by a large tent, and is filled with unfamiliar memories....

Extra Information

You witness the black hole later in the game.
You can also control a monster party at certain points during the game.

I've got one more screen:

The map needs work, but I can make you somethin good =)

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: :) on December 01, 2006, 01:51:06 AM

mapping as mentioned..needs work..mainly in the feeling of them..its sorta empty, and a good thing to do is not to post the new info in a new post but to actaully edit your first post and add the screenshots/ character info there.

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: nevfx on December 01, 2006, 04:36:23 PM

Ok, any updates will be put in the fouth post, as there is already is more info there.

@Nikolai: I'm going to take that offer, help. Please. :)

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: Doctor Professor Nikolai on December 01, 2006, 04:52:30 PM

Ok, *gets to work on Castle exterior*

EDIT: Ok, I've attached the map pic to this post.

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: nevfx on December 01, 2006, 04:58:57 PM

Thanks!

EDIT: Sorry to ask, but how do I acually use it and get it onto my game?

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: :) on December 02, 2006, 02:50:58 PM

you don't really. He has posted a screenshot of how he made it, use it as a guide...unless you actaully want him to transfer his game folder to you, and then you copy and paste the map into your game.

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: :) on December 02, 2006, 03:11:43 PM

here, this is how I would fix nik's map:

When I see Nicky's posts I think "WTF?! When did I say that? ... Oh yeah... right..."

lol @ blixx

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: nevfx on December 02, 2006, 10:08:33 PM

lol, thanks for the feedback.

@Nouman6: Now, how do i use that map?

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: :) on December 02, 2006, 10:15:55 PM

you have to re-create it ;D

Lol, its like I show you how it looks, then you make it similar or the same as my example.

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: nevfx on December 02, 2006, 10:17:21 PM

OH! Now I get it.
I'll give it a go.

EDIT: Grr...I can't do it. I cant get the castle right, I'm getting agitated.

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: nevfx on December 04, 2006, 07:57:07 PM

I'd normally put this on post 4, but its to much of an important update to just put in a post people may not see.

Demo Update
I've got very far in the demo now, so I'll more than likely going to be out by next week. Good news, eh? Check this post for more info.

The demo has two sections. One from near the begginning, and one near the end. Don't worry, they give barley anything away, and theres not even all the info in there that'll be in the main game. More soon.

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: :) on December 05, 2006, 12:30:15 AM

tip:

Add all new updates to the first post, screenshots, character info.. But then add a new post to the topic saying what you have added.

You want your first post to be BOOOM amazing. Because well, its the first post people see when they enter the topic.

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: landofshadows on December 05, 2006, 12:48:05 AM

A few I would do differently:-

(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi5.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fy163%2FNouman6%2Ftouchupsoncastel.jpg&hash=8a40e75264e35ae773ecd6acbe78d9b4ddee2edc)

The Barrels to the side of the house I would have placed them indivually using the paint brush tool rather than the drag rectangle, as some time you get clipping like the top barrel...

I would add dark grass area's around the building to make it look like shadow... same on path edges etc... I would make things uniform in Castle like area's...

See Nouman6's Tutorials:- http://theforge.myfastforum.org/forum5.php

They are pretty fricken good, I bet he nocked that image up above in about 15mins...

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls

Its looking good, good luck and one suggestion, a window skin change wouldn't hurt, but if it matches the game then I guess I better shut my trash..

Thanks, I'll try some changes.

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls

The demo is now avaliable on the first page.

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: :) on December 09, 2006, 04:14:15 PM

k, so I have downloaded the demo!
So, it was fun and everything, nice start..good play. Just a few things:

Maps are sorta empty
your eventing skills rock!
battlers are HUGE way tooo big
the battle system is pretty nice, well laid out, cool meters.

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: nevfx on December 09, 2006, 04:18:02 PM

Thats a good thing, right?

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: :) on December 09, 2006, 04:18:42 PM

Yea, the game play during events was very smooth

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls

Thanks! I never expected that.

Post by: Chelsie on December 10, 2006, 08:14:43 PM

I played the demo nevfx and i thought the below:

was good but when you are the monsters it could of been longer like more battles.
As people have mentioned the maps not great but okay the map which you get the full potion when the gate goes wrong could of been better.
I like the events aswell !!

Great demo cant wait till game is out !!

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: nevfx on December 10, 2006, 08:15:48 PM

Thanks, I'll work on this for the main game.

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: coolkid25344 on December 10, 2006, 11:04:59 PM

Hey Nevfx, its me coolkid, downloaded the demo, and im gonna be a tough critic (primiraly because we know each other and I know youd do the same thing for me)

First things first the good stuff-
Text was good for the most part, could have made it a little diffrent emotionally in some areas like adding humour (although I noted the part were Nathan yells at Andrew not to touch the gold). Most of the Event Processing was good, moving charecters around worked nicely.

Now for the bad parts (Sorry if its long you know I need you to make the best possible game you can make)-

Maps um well least to say they were possibly the worst maps ive ever seen, do this learn some tutorials work on your maps alot and do not release demos with maps like that, I know you either dident work on the maps at all or rushed to get them out for the demo. Regardless major work is needed.

Battles- Lets put it this way people do get tired of hitting the enter button after awhile, they have some special moves I know but still, you should try and make some actuall dificulty in your battles, im not saying make the opponents harder, im saying make the battles interesting, add more text, monster weaknesses, possibly team combination attacks, possibly the ability for your monsters to attack together, give a large variety of special moves to your opponents and teammates, and most overall try and make the battles have a puzzle type pursuit, make a monster for instance that once attacked by fire transforms into a monster that you can attack with a move you got from another battle, there are plenty of things like that to do.

Using RTP-While having all RTP wont kill you in the long run using Alexander (Arshes) will, dont use him!, and if you have a little extra time search the web for some new resources and give the game a nicer visual effect.

Some things to side note, your chest can give you unlimited full potions, youll need to start using self switches, and your monster battles have the enemies out of sight because your teams sprites are too big.

You have alot of potential and I know you can do better than this, show us with the next demo just how great you can be!,

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: nevfx on December 11, 2006, 07:14:23 PM

Thanks. How do you use switches, I've never been able to...

Hey nevfx when are we gonna see next demo? i want more battle arena battles,

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls
Post by: nevfx on December 13, 2006, 08:24:43 PM

battle areana, dosent look like a battle areana, as I bet you all noticed...An idea would be to use an image, either imorrt it as a tileset or use the event command to insert an image, and get a real image of a colloseum and put it in.

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls-TWO DEMOS AVALIABLE
Post by: nevfx on January 07, 2007, 10:53:54 PM

The Battle Arena isn't just a collosium. Its a whole other story. There is an acual Arena. Just not in any of the screens.

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls-TWO DEMOS AVALIABLE
Post by: nevfx on January 11, 2007, 08:19:50 PM

UPDATE

Sorry for lack of update, Im just not getting much done.

The next demo will be out in 2 weeks. MUCH longer then expected, but, things happen, you know how it is.

The mapping could use some work. Makeing square bodys of water isn't a great idea.

Post by: nevfx on January 14, 2007, 08:20:20 PM

UPDATE:

I've just added a cutscene before the Title Screen. The scene shows how the gang get to Other World.

Post by: nevfx on January 17, 2007, 04:01:33 PM

I'm thinking of taking the Battle Arena out, as there is a game for it, and its taking to long to do. What do you think?

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls-TWO DEMOS AVALIABLE
Post by: Darico on January 22, 2007, 06:37:26 PM

If you are happy with having the other game being the battle arena I think it would be fine. Not having on in this just means you got to add something else to fill up time as such.. lol.

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls-TWO DEMOS AVALIABLE
Post by: nevfx on January 24, 2007, 10:45:49 PM

Ok, I'll keep it in. Unless anyone objects?

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls-TWO DEMOS AVALIABLE
Post by: Badalight on January 24, 2007, 11:31:12 PM

Mapping needs work.

Story seems a bit bland.

To much RTP.

I'd suggest getting some resources before you go any further. There are a lot of good abttles and character resources you can get out there. I'd also suggest a new Window Skin and some more Chip Sets. If you think it'll spice up your game you can always get a cool battle system! Also consider looking at some tutorials for map making if you can find any, because they could use some work.

I havn't played the demo yet so I have no idea what the story is about or if the Dialouge is good, I just read the 2 sentence discription.

Title: Re: Passage to Other World: Journey of Lost Souls-TWO DEMOS AVALIABLE
Post by: nevfx on January 26, 2007, 04:00:04 PM

...

I know my mapping needs work, I'm known for being shit at mapping.
The story, if you got the demo, isn't bland, read some other posts.
I agree, far to much RTP.

Due to tecnology problems, and lack of being bothered, this is on hold until I say so.
