(I was planning to name it "Fantasy Crystal Chronicles 4 :Eternal Dragon Quests, but that would piss off alot of people")

Prologe:

So!! here it is.. the biggest project i have ever started (and will finish hopefully), what makes this project big its not just the vast resource database i have been creating to make it complety unique, but the game that is behind the idea.. an old NES classic:

Spoiler for:

The game was side-scroller plataform game, many people found it kind of annoying because of its difficulty while others consider it as one of the best "go save the princess" games ever made; my game will be based (vaguely)on this magical world & its inhabitants while adding plots & stuff of my own, the idea is to make a worthy remake for a game that deserves it. :roll:

I have to say this but . . . two words: Loving It ~
>__> The use of Ragnaroke Online Sprites & the Tilesets (Among those enemies) merge well. Can't wait to see a Demo of it soon.

Yeah it looks nice. Are they Baldur's Gate 2 tilesets? They look very good in-game and the battles look hard :) Good luck.

~Moved to Main Projects board, as it meets requirements.

This looks fucking awesome. I loved Astyanax when I was young. I hope you use the Remlia theme song somewhere in the game, because that song is sick.

Thx :) had to add inner shadows to the ragnarok sprites so they dont look too bright on the maps.

Yup i ripped the maps from Baldurs Gate 2 ... it was hard :-X, the battles are not so hard since you can push your enemies against the walls in a 1vs1, but some of them got an arsenal of skills, i will put special effort to make the game as balanced as i can, want it to be overall hard, but not to the point of frustration ;D

I know what you mean :D the songs on this game were haunting.. i got a remix of remlia theme but i dont think it will fit in a battle or something, but there are the intro themes :blizj:

This actually looks quite good. I'd have to play it to know if it works though. Are you using an isometric script, or do you just have iso tilesets and characters?

Title: Re: Astyanax: Wrath steel
Post by: Smooth on September 03, 2009, 08:54:32 AM

lol it looks isometric (attacks and tiles) but it works as a normal 2D rpg.. I wish i could upload the demo soon.. but i have been having technical problems :S ..
but i must say that what i have done looks awesome.. maybe a lil too overwhelming, just hope it is fun to play :)

Do you have it so the player's walk is always diagonal, or do you have an 8-way-directional movement script? I think it'd be nicer if the characters walked diagonally with having to hold down and left, or down and right, etc. And if they did hold down and left, then they would move just left instead. Like inverting the controls on an 8-way-directional script sort of.

I think 8 way directional movement is better, gives your more freedom whit your character...

mmm i think i will just keep things simplified ;) .. as im ripping isometric maps and putting them in a non isometric walk/combat system i want the player to have that movement freedom, if i overcomplicate things it will just be anoyying :-X

where did you pick the ragnarok online creatures from? Isn't it other files format?
Hum...Even the maps...

Title: Re: [RPGXP] Astyanax: Wrath steel
Post by: Smooth on September 25, 2009, 10:47:15 AM

Well theres when i used my magic..
You can find Ragnarok sprite sheets in .png formats over the internet, i put them in a charset template for RPG maker and made the size changes.
The tilesets are tricky, i used a modders tool to extract the files from BG2 game, then in photoshop i resized, cut & arranged them in a template to use them as a normal Tileset, some are still a little buggy but they are worthy maps.. i want to make a tutorial about making maps out of pictures after i release the Demo which is almost done..

Yay demo. I'm downloading now. A bit file heavy, but I have time to download and no time to play. I'll download it now so when I have the time I can fully enjoy it.

The graphics are truly amazing, I didn't know RMXP was capable of that! Just five minutes into the game and I can honestly say it's the most professional looking game I've tried from this site. I love the dark style of the maps/screens/whatever and the ABS. Very, very impressive.

As soon as I can, I'm playing this demo through.

This game is typically based on graphically as a great game for playstation Saga Frontier 2 Your game is the same as it is! A similar appearance and similar Tileset.

your image is kind of offensive, if it's that important to you, make it a little smaller and place it in your signature.

But I did get stuck in one of the rooms after leveling up. I couldn't move move.

MMm Did you got stuck after talking to the master in the cold room or before.. or you got stuck right after leveling up? :S thats a bit strange bug..

Thanks for your comment n_n im glad you people like the graphics.. it took me some extra efford to make the tilesets and animations but eye candys are really worth it :P

haha really? :S i have not played any PS2 RPG yet, never owned a console.. my game is more like an hybrid whit baldurs gate 2 maps, ragnarok charsets,Gothic 1 references, torment animations and ogre battle,s themes to me :P

EDIT: has anyone go past F2 yet? even i get lost in the maze after that xD but everything is tested just right and placed Hints in the way :) ... the only bug i couldnt fix was in the F1 Puzzle, it somethimes crashes the game when you resolve it but its rare

The day I DL'd the game we were really busy at the FD, but I will be playing it some more.

Also, does the game support USB gamepad input? If so, do I need to remap the keys? Is that possible?

I think it is possible whit a script .. Good idea :)
If everything goes as planned i will Upload a new version tomorrow (1.2), it will include:
1.- A nice quest log
2.- lower SP usage for magic skills
3.- More Hints in the maze area
4.- Gamepad support

If you get stuck or something just tell me n_n my lil bro has already beaten it but got problems in the maze area.
