Wups, I've just realized I forgot to delete the save files...

But it's no biggie.  You can save over them.

My bad. :^^:

[graywolf]

downloading right now.....  omg i have a high speed connection and i am downloading this game at 4 k per sec.  what the crap....

[graywolf]

well it would have been nice to know that it was rm03 becaus ei don't use rm03 i only use rpg xp sry.

[Rikkuholic]

It says that in her sig that it's RM2k3

[michaelxp]

but that doesn't mean you need it.
anyhow, about how long is the game?

[dwarra]

You should download rpg2003 anyway graywolf, alot of good RPGs are made on here, and Fuitaten: Book of Days is one of em, check it  

[Yossy]

My goal was to make a game completely unlike anything previously believed possible using RM2k3.  So, it's got a real-time battle system and a unique conversation system, plus my custom menu system (that's a lot of systems!).  Later versions will have a fully-functional 20-hour day/night clock.

This demo is about 15-30 minutes long, just enough time to introduce you to the kingdom of Longevity, aforementioned systems, some (very few) of the characters, and a cute little town.  What's more, there's even a cameo appearance of myself.  You have no reason not to try it out.

Screenshots, info, and artwork can be found in the Futaiten: Book of Days thread.

So, anyone played it?  How goes it??  

By the way, if you try to leave the vicinity of Tazo, there are two different "Hey, this is the wrong way" conversations.  One if you're playing as Quasar and the other if you're playing as Zivan.  Furthermore, some (not all) of the conversations between Quasar and Zivan throughout the dungeon will vary depending upon which character you are playing as.

I played it but I found the fights annoying anyway, the learning slug?

[Yossy]

Shmanky the Learning Slug is from the SQUEE! comics by Jhonen Vasquez, whose most popular work is Invader ZIM.

ok your mapping was not that impressive...the fighting was annoying(why can't I attack while they move)...you need a way to get more hearts...and the animation would have been smoother if you add the charatar to animation sheet so it while look like he is swing with the sword(this is biggest error in most
real time battle games with rm2k3 and xp)...also mind giving us a discription of what spells do...and add a hp bar to ememys.

ok now that I got all the bad stuff now for the good. your game was hilarous*insert slogan here**pretend there is a faceset here* hey I've been training with you for along time yet your name has never been mentions...and lastly AH AH AHA CHHOOO.that si what made your game worth playing so try to go for the more kiddy look.try not to make it to serous and it will turn out good


edit-i forgot i about the slug that hates salt lol...but it was kinda pointless cuz the whole speak well....was kinda of unesssry but no the less funny and GOOD filler

[Yossy]

Okay, okay, I get it!  The fighting is annoying.  But, I think that turn-based battles are more annoying.  So, I win.  Go, me!

You can't attack while enemies are moving because...
~ In order for the enemy to deal damage to the hero, they must be on "Collosion with hero."  
~ In order for the hero to deal damage to the enemy, the event must be on "Action Key."  
~ Can't have both at once.

Adding the character animation to the sheet involves editing the character sprite and Im too lazy to do that.

A spell description is something I had in mind but didn't know how to implement...  I'm thinking I'll have a school of magic in the main town with scholarly folks that will explain each of the spells.  Howzat sounding?

[Captain Callahan]

i am getting it now it really sounds cool.

[Yossy]

Huzzah.  Oh, by the way folks, if there are specific lines that made you laugh, tell me so!  My humor is weird. :O_o:

[Master_of_Time]

The part where he says: Anything else we forgot to introduce all video game
introductory-like? That was pretty funny.[/quote]

[Captain Callahan]

it wont downlaod for me it sucks! :evil:

[zxm]

Well.... I though it was boring. Just when got into it... its done! Nooo!!!
I heard songs from Kirby 64 and FF:CC! Sick. 3 HOLY CRAP PALADINs out of 5

[Lord Dante]

SWEET! RIVIERA BATTLE MUSIC! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?!!!

ahem. sweet.

[Rikkuholic]

Can i use your faces for my game! They're great! Also, the game is great, but the fighting can become one minded.

[Yossy]

There are MIDI credits in the "Music" folder in a .TXT file.  The Riviera battle music was downloaded from http://www.vgmusic.com :^^:

This demo is pretty short because people rushed me :whoa:

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Shmaybe I'll release a longer demo once I have more of the game done.  So, in the next demo, expect to see all four of the main characters and have a lot more of the story down.

And no, Rikkuholic, you may not use my faces, because I put a lot of time and effort into drawing them and I happen to prefer my character designs to be unique.
