World Crafters: V.10.1

on 3 forums? thats a nice idea... 3x less likely to die that way. oh and my town, i got side tracked, ill finish it very soon...

V.8 Fixes:

 - Side doors no longer allow the player to walk through anything. The walk through anything error will auto correct itself in the next version.
 - Akarothi dock error statement is fixed.

3 people have submitted betas to be added to the game, so V.8 will be uploaded once I integrate one of them into the game.

People have been asking me about the class list, so I will post the current class list:
 - Undecided

 - Brawler
 - Fighter
 - Grappler
 - Light Warrior

 - Apprentice
 - White Mage
 - Pilgrim
 - Black Mage
 - Witch
 - Warlock
 - Herbalist
 - Alchemist

 - Informist
 - Thief
 - Merchant
 - Hunter

Probably not a job list. Just classes, like informist branches into blacksmith or miner. Apprentice branches into enchanter. Lots of people have always compared my games to Elder Scrolls.

Actually cause you suggested it...

How about giving me some spells / skills for
 - Blacksmiths (improve weapons and armor with spells)
 - Enchanters
 - Miners (use earth spells?)

I will add them right away.

I could make a list of some spells and descriptions,,and u can pick the ones you like and add them to the game (I am not sure how you plan to,,IMPROVE,,weapons thru VX)

Oh also,,did the awesome,,face picture graphics,,come with the RTP? or is it something you made/downloaded?

I have now added blacksmiths and miners in the game for V.8 along with some unique weapons / armor and gear for them. As for improving weapons and armor, I just meant attack up and defense up spells and skills.

The face photos come with the RTP.

i downloaded version 7 after not playing since version 5. i need to say this is still a fun and easily addictive game. i just now got to the desert beyond the dwarf passage.

... beat ... 12 hours ... i got up to the point where it tells you that you are as far as you can go and wait for the next version.

Lots of people have been PMing me about where the Flint is. So here is a map of the first floor of Crandle Cave. The Flint is in the blue treasure chest. To get into Crandle Cave, you need a key that you get in the Orc Tower.

My party right now:
A Seductive: Brawler -> Grappler -> Light Warrior
A Pessimist:: Brawler -> Fighter
An Intelligent: Apprentice -> White Mage -> Pilgrim
A Pessimist: Informist -> Merchant -> Miner

V.8 will be out soon. I am done play testing and adding into it. The game is 8 hours for me all the way through. Because so many people have PMed me on the forums about certain things, I have started making a legitimate guide to the game. Plus I want to inform people of just how much extra stuff there is in this game.

I would like some people to complete and detail their submissions before I add them into V.8. I am still eager to add things to the game :-) It helps keep things interesting for everyone.

Speaking of interesting; there is now a legitimate plotline to follow. I took everyone's submitted work, and tied it together into a plot that uses everything.

PLOT

Spoiler for:

The sky will turn red and the clouds will block out the sun. That is what will happen when the gate to Batroga Tower is open and the people scurry through before the time is right.

Magesto had lead his people out of the tower fearing the death of the heavens when the rogue angels invaded. He now stands guard at the gate to prevent his people from entering the tower before the time is right.

Since he has walked on this terra, Magesto has fathered one son and became the grand father to three kings. At the death of his son Legalas, each of the three kings proclaimed themselves lord of the land. Since then the land has been divided into thirds.

Armatropa is the land to the east, full of rough terrain between mountains and a balmy forest. Vestopa is the cursed and wretched land to the south west, and Shenagard is the smallest of the three lands, but has the greatest inhabitable area.

Between the three lands is the town of Batroga, located at the base of the tower to the heavens; a tower that extends past the clouds and into the sky. That is the legend that has been passed down for nearly 80 years. The tower is located in a desert that is considered neutral territory by all three kings.

However, the evil Lord Sordik now wants into the tower. Sordik’s power comes from an unholy bargain made with the undead to follow his mighty voice. He has used this ghastly army to attack the towering walls of Batroga to enter the gate for himself.

A year of attacks has gone by with the men of Batroga rallied together and stood tall to defend their town from Lord Sordik. Magesto merely stood idly by and watched the men of his village get slaughtered, leaving only the women, children and elderly.

King Samurik of Shenagard has been caught in turmoil of his own. His brother Armonik craves to expand his territory. The battle of their two lands is at an end though, with King Samurik standing tall and ready to occupy the land of his defeated brother.

Now the only hope to save the people of Batroga is a hero born half a world away. A stranger to the kingdom of turmoil, this hero must travel through all three kingdoms collecting the treasures of Legalas in order to awaken the man that can bring unity to his once great empire.

Subterranean castles, undead armies, and aggressive nations await the hero, all to save the people caught between hostile invaders and Magesto who refuses to let anyone through the gate until the time is right.

I accidentally uploaded over 6 of the photos. Oh well. I think that they were shots of Vestopa and the two shrines in the game.

Here are 14 more screenshots from later in the game. 5-8 hours into it.

Spoiler for:

Just before entering the tower of Batroga to end V.8


Vestopa is the castle of the dead. To get in, you will need to face them.


When you return to Vestopa, the defenders will not treat you as nicely.


The prison of Vestopa Castle is in shambles due to Lord Sordik's pet.


The first floor of Vestopa is in ruins from the corpses.


To get through Lord Sordik's secret passage, all four switches must be flipped.


The town of Lamenista after the skies turn red.


Inside the grand hotel of Lamenista. An expensive night's stay.


The pub is always a great place to find information and rumors.


The churches are around to revive your dead and fully heal your wounded when you cannot afford the inns.


RPGs are all about choices, and seeing goals that you cannot immediately achieve.


Kendall Grove at night. Where the beast stalks for children!


King Armonik cannot help for a specific reason.


Inside Krandu, the cave of the beast.


The bones of those that have lurked inside of Krandu. Not all bones are still though.


There are puzzles galore in Krandu, including the way to call and defeat the beast.

I love the new screenshots and the fact that there is a plot. I haven't played this since the first world/chapter released since I've reallly had no time, but I've downloaded it again and will reserve my comments until I've played through it.

sorry the stupid town is taking so long, ive been busy and havent had much time

That is fine. That is why adding to this project is better than starting your own.

Actually I've noticed... there are a few games that look to be dead on this forum. Maybe I should ask if I could absorb them into this game :-) Like a giant blob absorbing other games into its core. At least that way the dead RPGM VX games would live on.

UPDATES for V.8 (not yet released)

There are plenty of updates, that I have probably covered in previous posts. Here are the ones that I've been saving.

NEO PRIME's TALARIS

Someone on another forum submitted something that was good and interesting. The only downer for the casual fans of this game is that you really need to work to get to it. It is a lair for higher level players. In fact it is so high, that my current game of 8 hours cannot accomplish it :-)

There are no treasures yet.



THE BOARD GAME

... a board game! In a game! Very similar to the Dragon Warrior 3 (CGB). Maia 2K3 had the board game system, but now it is here. Just play with tokens :-)

BRIDGE GAME

Get the magic bridge, and use tokens to play the bridge game. You travel across the areas and chose your paths to collect treasures! This was technically in V.7, but now it is acessable!

UPDATES for V.9 (not yet released)

Sure, V.8 has not been released yet, but V.8 ends when you enter the tower. V.9 will pick up in an entirely different second world.

That lair looks like a really nice map. I'm not sure if you want to release the event layer though, as it looks like there are a few secret event things that might give away.

Also, it'd be pretty cool if you were able to absorb some of the other games.

I have written a few RPGM VX gamers about absorbing their games. Such as games that have not had anyone post on them for a month. The trick is those people are done and no longer using the forums.

As for the secrets, those are shadows, there's nothing really secret about that map.

UPLOADED VERSION 8
 - The file has jumped up from 12 MB to 16 MB? There are no new graphics, so this is 4 more MB of programming content. I am also thinking about renaming this project to "the World is Not Enough," because now there are 2 worlds to explore.

FIXES
 - i will put this later (you can look back through the posts to see)
 - side doors in Akarothi no longer let you move through everything
 - if you already fell into the slip through error, just go to sleep in any bed and it will fix the error

ADDITIONS
 - i will put this later (you can look back through the posts to see)

I have now played 9 hours into the game to get where I am.
My party:
A Seductive: Brawler -> Grappler -> Light Warrior
A Pessimist:: Brawler -> Fighter
An Intelligent: Apprentice -> White Mage -> Pilgrim
A Pessimist: Informist -> Merchant -> Miner

Wow, that's a huge increase in size for just programming and maps.

Were you able to absorb any games?

And yeah, "The World is Not Enough" is a pretty good title, though it has been a Bond movie so maybe it might not be a great idea. I like the name "World Crafters" myself. It gives a nice feel to the game.

The trick about absorbing other games is the games that have not had posts on topics in a months... the creators do not get back to me.

It is a Bond movie, hence where I stole it from, but the plot develops from a hero journeying, to a hero saving a people, to a hero well... you will see. The World is Not Enough.

Hello Maia, I'm new here and been looking around and I must say I really like what your doing, and with your permission I wouldn't mind also making a map that you could use. I wanted to know like, is there a limit to how big one could make it? and also like, what could or couldn't be used. Like say if I were to make a shop, how would I know what items to sell and that stuff. Also I was wondering for like, making it so they have to go to the inn and save to the bed, would that be something I had to add in, or would you be the one to do it after I gave the map(s) to you. And like with the monsters, how would I know which monsters should be used and all that. Just a curious over thinking mind not wanting to make any mistakes is all  Hope to hear from you soon, would very much make my day if I had a reply in like, 5 mins but the luck of that happening not very high lol

Maia? Is she dead?

Who knows, she hasn't been on in a few days

maia,,r u working on some other new game?

give the gal a break lol

We know, And I have been giving her a break, I haven't been spamming her email or PM box or anything lol

Or she is just waiting for someone to complete something to add to the project?
