lol, thanks, theres a burst of inspiration, and work is coming along real well.

for now however, I'm going to put the download link in the first post and lock this.

I'm going to make new topics since the entire game is being remade from ground up.

I hope you guys enjoy the preview though XD

Very cool, the effort put into this seems to be a cut above most of the other stuff.
The name is quite nice, why'd you pick it exactly?

Also, the eighth screen down...looks a bit pedophilish.

you should apprechiat the love between a father and daughter, especially since the father dies! D:

(no spoilers there, it hapens in the first 5 mins of the game, lol)

anyways, the name was picked when I first started imaginging the story, till this day, probably becuase of my lack of imagination, it's stuck with me very solidly.

Celestias Ferrum, literally, even though it's spelled somewhat wrong, it means Heavenly steel, or sword.

It refers to...

hm....

nah, lol

well, from the name, it's not hard to go one what it means, but I'd rather not say atm, it would make it sound too cliche, and that'd ruin the image :P

anyways, thanks for the compliment.

WEEEELL, I didn't read the entire first post, but I don't remember anything like that being in it. The artwork is nice, though.

Celestias Ferrum would mean Heavenly Iron, not steel. But personally, I think Iron works better than sword, as it implies the heavy influence of science.

No problem! Keep the good work coming along, I really wish I had the ability to focus and do something like this.

Yeah, I think out of all the screens, the dragon fountain is my favorite too! Very creative.

Ahh, don't worry! I'm a bit of a science nerd, Iron is Fe on the periodic table, Fe stands for Ferrum. But yea, it's latin. I kidna stink at it too!

recently just finished the shopping system for my game, and I'ms till working on it as theres alot of improvements to be done, but you can check it out here, it's for public use as well :)

meet the cast :)



Spoiler for shopping system download:

anyways, this is my shopping system, fully evented to be user friendly too :)

the system uses 22 parallell events, which is rather large, it can be put together better with pages and common events, but putting all the events on the map seperate makes them alot easier to see and organize.

Any single paged event can be put into common events, so feel free to for your own project, however, becuase of the fact no more than 6 of the events will be called on at the same time at once, there would be no lag either way



Now then, the shopping system features something rather unconventional for usual shopping systems.

I'll put together a instruction packet later for the specifics of customizing the system, but I'm not that inspired atm.

It's VERY easy to change the items you your buy or sell menu, for each item it takes 3 changes, what item it is that the variable is checking, how much the item costs for buying or selling, and lastly which item it is your adding or removing from your inventory.

For the buying menu, you can have as many items for sale as you want, simply make the pictures for the menu itself.

You can change the number of items on sale selection by changing the variable of the selection event, since it's 5 right now, it's set on 1<Variable<5

the work part is simply making the menu pictures for the menu, not hard to do in photoshop.



For the sell system, it's the same when changing items for sale as above.

This sytem unlike conventional selling systems, does not check what items are in your inventory and only lists those items.

YOU will make specifically for each shop what THEY will buy from you, if you do not put it on the list, you can not sell it to that shop.

this is a bit more realistic, however unconventional.

I'll be working on a evented traditional shopping system, where anything you sell will instantly be resold and dissappear off the face of the eart.

You can put as many items up for sale as you want, as long as you CHANGE THE VARIABLES and MAKE THE IMAGES for the interface of the menu.



The interface is HIGHLY customizable, ALL PICTURES are 640x480, so if youw ant to hange the positioning of the windows, just change the pictures and position it another way, same with all the number displays.

well then, hope you enjoy, I'll add in all comments to the events and then creat a instruction manual once I get working with the interface more and add in the things pointed out by other members.

please try and leave some feedback for improvement, any bugs detected would be a GReat help, thanks ^_^

The map is thanks to Sithlord999 as per usual :)

anyways, the story board of CF was finalized quite some time ago, and personally, I LOVE it, and I really think it's amazing XD

it's very short and sweet, the targeted length of the game will be 3 to 4 hours long, using a tactical battle system and a total of 7 battles, 4 selected missions and 3 story driven fights, plus a extra tutorial battle.

the story is very nice, I was able to get some help witht he thinking process with some friends in real life, and it turned out great, I estimate my completion of this game to be somwhere during summer, my main work is getting all the spriting done as well as eventing a mercenary system.

theres only 6 character in the entire game, and then plus some NPCs, I don't expect having to make more than a dozen of so sprites.

Monkey, I checked out your shopping system and it almost gave me a BSoD, I checked it out and see that you are using 640x480 pictures for everything  >:(

not only does it increase ram usage, it also makes your filesize huge! Learn to use imagepositioner, if you still don't have it go to rm2k3 forums and check my sticky :3
It shows EXACT coordinates for resolution you want, hopefully that would make your games smaller in filesize and more friendly for people like me @_@

yeah, Zeriab told me of that already.

It's my fualt, since I started this after I got my new computor, it doesn't lag for me at all, lol

your the first person thats said anything, but yeah, I'll go in and fix it up to save ram ussage, I just usually hate having to bother with the positioning stuff x.x

once you get the hand of positioning it's really not hard to eyball it, 's how I do a lot of my CMS windows and such.

ok, I'm going to say it.
the green girl's sprite.

her mammaries are a lot larger than in her CG.

I had to show the difference in their size... XD

Miho>Fukai>Sakuran lol

anyways, yeah, I had to do ALOT, and I mean rediculous amounts of positioning I'm sure that no one could measure up to with the 3 pseudo animated intros I've done. (Mine, Sithlord's, and DAS's)

theres ALOT of image moving in those things, and personally, I'm sooooo sick of it, which is why I didn't want to deal with it when I started this menu.

I have image positioner btw, it's weird to work but I'll go ahead and use it.

thanks Revo, whats nora?

Since the game is fours long, how long would you say the battles are in general (10-15 minutes+)?

If the battles are short, what other content fills the other few hours?

I'm just curious.

The CG character you used in the shop system. That character is Nora from Mabinogi.
