Title: [BT] Outlaw City and Outlaw City: Dark Past [COMPLETED GAMES]
Post by: Anaryu on November 01, 2006, 07:00:39 PM

Outlaw City and OC: Dark Past were created for time-sensitive contests. Outlaw City had a 2 month development period, and Dark Past had only 2 weeks. Outlaw City is current being upgraded to include the additional 1/3 of story-line I had to skip to make the deadline.

Welcome to Outlaw City!

History of Outlaw City

Outlaw City wasn't always called by that name, it was previously known as Generation City, a city outside of the reach of foreign policy and law.

The short but powerful history of this city was forged during the beginning of the Energy Depression, when Generation Corporation promised the impossible; nearly infinite, cheap energy. With only two strings attached.

Although disbelieved at first, Gen. Corp proved their claims and were granted their concessions by the world governments:

First, the funding to create their endless supply of power, the Infinity Generators.
And secondly, land and complete sovereignty.

And so Generation City was formed next to the four gigantic Infinity Generators that fed the energy needs of the world for years.

Still afraid of another budding energy crisis, and given breathing room, countries frantically developed other forms of energy; thermal, advanced solar, large hydroelectric plants, and other forms advanced and soon were enough by themselves.

Their timing was perfect as the next year a huge and impenetrable domed barrier formed around the generators, cutting the power flow out to miniscule levels.

Without the interest of the world at stake, Generation City fell into a lull, and it's only other product, freedom from world laws, became it's primarly sales point.

For several years, Generation City became a place of crime and crusades, black markets and money lenders flocked and many transactions were performed within the city. Things were going poorly, and as history had shown, downward trends had a nasty habit of continuing.

The shield that had blocked access to the Infinity Generators had been leaking a strange radiation, one which began to affect the citizen. Nearly unnoticable at first, things began to speed up, and soon citizens found themselves changed.

The changes were not always disfiguring, and they were usually not even negative. People soon found themselves possessing increased physical attributes, and some found themselves able to control the elements or use powers not unlike those of comic-book superheroes.

Current Day

There are four main "factions" to Outlaw City:
City Hall/The Knights:
With the increase in physical abilities and reaction speed the most common of changes, most such cases flock to the banner of the Knights.
Formed just before a citizen riot that took out the original City Hall, the Knights are just that, an archaic group that tries to emulate the legends of old through Chivalry, Strength, Honor, and wearing a large amount of metal.
While the largest and most prominent faction, the Knights are held in low esteem for their direct nature.

Generation Corp:
The company that began it all, and original the founders of City Hall and the government, Generation Corp, or Gen Corp for short, are the suppliers of energy to the city.
Due to their own overabundance of energy, Gen Corp develops a large amount of high end technology, including potentially illegal weaponry thanks to their immunity to world laws.
Potentially one of the most powerful of the groups, Gen Corp is ruthless and deals with their foes through the most expedient means.

The Arcanum:
Like the Knights, this group has reverted to older ways. However, their aim is more along the lines of the mystical and mysterious.
The people changed to hold true powers instead of increased abilities, especially those with powers that are more magical-seeming in nature, are members of the Arcanum.
Led by a powerful Sorceress who seems to have extraordinary control over her powers, the Arcanum operates out of Altham Park and are secretive and powerful.

Characters:

Sahra Vintage
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fhbgames.org%2Fanaryu%2FCustomOC%2Fprofound-hm-battle.png&hash=c29429bc73e94a329755f439f6f57af9569117e0)
The antagonist of this story, more or less, Sahra's history is less shady than it might seem, although her future more murky.

Mistress Mystic
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fanamei.net%2Ffiles%2Fimages%2Foutlawcity%2Fmystic-battle.png&hash=be828a26786601554bb3d9a51aef88f248e4d1fc)
Her memory erased after an escape from Gen Corp, Mystic seems to be more the antagonist than Sahra, although it always seems to be Sahra that bears the brunt of the troubles caused.

Please tell me how you got ur menu like that =D

Title: Re: [BT] Outlaw City and Outlaw City: Dark Past [COMPLETED GAMES]
Post by: Anaryu on November 01, 2006, 08:39:20 PM

Which menu from which like how? Please feel free to PM the question as well, since it's not really too related to the thread and I can reply without a lot of extra clutter.

The front page menus are just pictures, and those menu items are pictures I'm drawing on top of those. You'd need a basic scripting ability (or know someone who's willing to do it for you) to make a title screen like that.

The first one, how did you get the new game, load game, and quit in that style? Like it is curved. How? I would love to use this for my own game :)

What sciprt did you use for the message system?

Title: Re: [BT] Outlaw City and Outlaw City: Dark Past [COMPLETED GAMES]
Post by: Anaryu on November 01, 2006, 11:26:50 PM

Dubealex's Advanced Message System (AMS)

You should be able to find it at the Creation Asylum I think, or at least very least on hbgames.org. Not sure if it's in the script database here, didn't see it.

Wow, I'm greatly impressed. I realize some of the systems were carried over from the original, but the fact that it is of that quality and made in 2 weeks is awesome.

The battle system is very innovative and fun to.

Actually, Dark Past wasn't started until the first evening of the 2-week contest. The only scripts that went over were one's I didn't do like the Advanced Message script. :)

I remember playing this a while back, I quitted the first cause the sewer or whatever it was, was pissing me off...

The second is better, but I have no idea where I saved it..

Anyway, great games (I like the second better!) 8/10

Try again, and this time don't press anything at all.

If that doesn't work just keep trying. It did it to me also (a stack error), but only the first time.

Hi Anaryu! ;D

Cool, you're finished with the game. :) I'll DL it tomorrow and try it out. :)

Title: Re: [BT] Outlaw City and Outlaw City: Dark Past [COMPLETED GAMES]
Post by: Anaryu on November 07, 2006, 02:48:13 AM

Hope everyone enjoys them.

I used to frequent here a lot, but forgot about it after the "dark times" when the site was down and out for several months. I just recently learned it was back up, and that my old links weren't working because they were to specific forum spaces. :)

I am unsure if the game will work with the Postiality Knights dll's, I never knew anyone running the version so I can't say it that has something to do with it or not, I do know that I've had a large number of people play it with the legal version and haven't had any problems, especially at the title screen. :O

@Nouman6: Just about to post my latest complete game, quite a different pace from these. ^_^

I played it through yesterday. It was quite interesting and fun. The battle system seemed confusing at the beginning, but I learned to work with it within miinutes. It's not hard at all. The story was interesting and there was no boring moment. All in all, very well done. :) Lol, actually I expected something like a detective story in a big city. That's what I assumed from the title at least. xD

I'm afraid my hosting and activity at hbgames.org are a thing of the past now. We're working on getting a new host for all 3 of our completed projects and our current work.

As soon as I can get this stuff uploaded I'll be sure to fix the first post!

We're currently in the process of getting our hosting finalized and then we'll be uploading and organizing the stuff and I'll update my two threads and post my on-going project, Cast Aside.

If you'd like to get Outlaw City now, you can see it's PhanxGame project page here:

@Anaryu
So far, I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the games you've posted. I just tried Cast Aside and was quite impressed. The initial minigame was quite fun (I got 7) , and the Battle System is, simply put, amazing. I really, really enjoy tactical battle systems in general and I actually think that yours has the potential to be better than any other TBS I know of, and that includes commercial games. It actually requires strategy because off the Real-time nature of it and simply put, it is awesome. Great work so far. I died in the first battle, so I didn't get very far, but I am quite looking forward to the finished product. Is it going to involve a lot of party members or are you going to keep the numbers down so that it is easier to keep track of what's going on? Anyway, great work.

Sorry for the delay all, but all the files are now updated. Our new webpage is still being put together, but all the screenshots and download links are back up and working properly with our new host.

Please let me know if you have any issues with these, but I expect they should prove quite solid and stable.
