[2k3] Final Fantasy V-II: Sacred Chains - ON INDEFINITE HIATUS (22/07/2012)

[Ape69]

Wow, You have done some great work!
Job system looks fantastic!
It really looks like the FF V, Good job.   

[Tezuka]

Not dead yet!

Yeah, I haven't updated my game in a while due to a lot of college work and not a lot of free time, but next week I have a week or so off, which will give me a lot more time for FFV-II.

Updates:

I had a try at making a better title image for the game, I haven't quite finished it, but here it is so far:



Criticism welcome, since I know it isn't perfect.



I have also made a few updates to the Job System, it may not be much, but I have already implemented the AP system which will come soon. Here is a short video on a few of the updates:

I also did quite the script re-write; I decided most of the script I wrote was bad and needed changing badly, so in turn, I had to change a lot of the game as well, including the opening, which you can see here:

Hopefully more updates next week. 

[Tezuka]

Double post.

Finished new title screen:



Criticism is highly appreciated.

[Tezuka]

Taken straight from the blog:

I will also be adding an alpha download of the game soon with about 10 minutes of gameplay, since I do need some help ironing out some bugs with the job system (lag on lower spec systems for some odd reason plus other bugs), so look for it in the downloads sections soon.

[Tezuka]

Even though I haven't posted here for over 60 days (thanks for the reminder ), me and the team have been working real hard on this project.

Things that have happened since my last post:

• Total Job System re-write
• New spritework
• Re-write of scripts
• *Job System lag bug has been fixed*
• Team expanded
• Website and forum opened

New screenshots and story up in the first post.

[LupinAKAFlashTH]

Quite nice. Can't wait to try it. 

[Tezuka]

Game name changed due to how stupidly cliché it sounded. I will have to re-create the title screen to show this as well. Hopefully this will also stop people from being scared to post in the topic. 

[modern algebra]

Hah, that's a good decision I think. Holk would approve.

[Tezuka]

I also took Falcon's advice and made the topic look a bit better, sadly I miscalculated the size of the banners, but my monitor's resolution is quite low (1280 x 720), so hopefully it looks better to nearly everyone else.

[Wlachen]

This looks very good...i cant wait for it...ive played all of the FF games...I love all FF remakes with RPG maker...Its very good!

[Esmeralda]

The colors on the custom sprites sort of jump at you the contrast is off a bit.

Oh but by the looks of the videos and story this sounds like it'll be a nice fangame. 5 is one of my favorites >w<

Whoops, I forgot to replace the screenshot with a more recent one, I'll do that now.

Also:

A special release of FFV-II is coming soon for RMN's Release Something! June 20th event.

There are two things I can do, and I think one would be much more enjoyable than the other, but you'll have to wait and see what they are.

The team for the project have been away for quite a while now, which means I can release something on the day of the event, but it maybe limited due to half of the team going AWOL.

Music at the moment is still questionable, as the person which maybe able to compose some of the music is busy with his own projects, which I can fully respect and I don't expect him to stop or slow down what he is doing for something else.

Check back soon for more info.

[Jonesy]

So is this a continuance of FFV or a alternative version? Or just the same game remade?

Is there any spoilers?

It is an un-official sequel, so there are quite a few spoilers to the original.

[modern algebra]

Hey, this project has been nominated as a candidate for Project of the Month for June. Please vote here: http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,33296.0.html

Best of luck;I think this shows a lot of promise Tez.

[Tezuka]

Haha, thanks Modern. I wasn't expecting this to even be nominated. 

Character bios will be added in the next hour, I have to wait for the artist to give me the portraits. If he doesn't arrive, I'll just add them anyway.

[Tezuka]

Bartz, Faris and Lenna's bios added. Title screen changed and one new screenshot showing the glyphs has been added.

EDIT: Krile's bio has been added.

EDIT 2: Could this topic be sent to Projects? It isn't what you would call "new" now.

[NPC]

You made me start FF5 again to get ready to play your game.

[Zylos]

I'm really looking forward to seeing this in action, Tezuka. :3

[Lazer Ki]

Meh, I hardly know about FF and the only game I played is FF3/6.

But nevertheless, this looks good.

[MagitekElite]

Wow, this game looks awesome. FFV is one of my fav games ever,and the job system was cool as well.
I also noticed Mid? Is he the same Mid? I hope so :}

Great job!

[Redwyn]

Hey guys, Redwyn here with a video showing the completed sprite for Bartz's Paladin class.

Hopefully it is decent, and I hope you enjoy.

Also, I forgot to set Bartz to step forward when he attacks with his weapon so that's why the attacking is kinda instant D:

[Grafikal]

Cool dude. It looks good. Good to hear some production is still chuggin along.

[modern algebra]

The sprite looks great. Good work Redwyn.
