Note: This topic was totally re-made from its original form. Most of the maps in the topic is old, and dosen't exist in the game anymore. So they have been removed.

I've also made a support banner:


Post it in your signature to support the project.

[Falcon]

Sounds a bit cliche to me, but it can probably be pulled off. Other than that it looks good.

[The Shadow]

Thanks for the comment Falcon. Im going to make this go off the clich'e trend.

Story and character bios has been updated.

[The Shadow]

Massive Update:

I've updated the whole first post. Updated character bios for 3 characters, and also a new name for the project: Wendia: Silentium Of Ventus.

I've also made a new sprite for Tamina:


The reason I did this is because it must show that sh'es a Wind Priest. It may look a bit strange right now, but Im working on it.

Also, I've edited the Wendia Tileset a bit:


I've added gold to the curtains, and also re-coloured the sofas. The benches is also re-coloured.

More updates will come soon.

[modern algebra]

I think it looks good. I agree that the story does sound a bit cliche, but I don't think that's a real problem as the world itself seems interesting enough to propel the game forward. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing where you take this Shadow. Good luck.

[Daniel Otterbach]

I kinda like the title "Silence of the Wind" better than the new name, but the game sounds awesome. I like how you used the VX battlers in there, and the mapping is almost orgasmic!

[The Shadow]

Thank you for the comment =)

Im currently working on the dialog so far into the game. Most of the dialog has some grammar errors, and that's the thing that takes the longest to get done for me.

[The Shadow]

A small Update:

Im going to tell more about the purpose for Ongria, the wind spirit, that will follow you during the game.

You can't save directly from the menu in this game. There will be zero save crystals or something like that. In this game, you need to talk to Ongria to save.


Also, later in the game, you will also be able to change part members with her help. The maximum amount of players in the party is 2. 2 In main party, and 2 in reserve.


Is there any bugs with this so far?
Problems with this system right now:
-Basicly, Ongria is starting on the spot where i placed the event. If you are in the middle of them map, she will basicly start in the beginning of the map. Im currently working on that.
-There's a chance that she will doom your party, especilly in puzzles. Right nhow, if you go into a corner, she will basicly cut your path, and you are trapped -_-

So, How are you going to solve these problems?
- I haven't solved the first problem yet, since Im still working on it. Suggestions are welcome.
- Basicly, Im planning to make a "Stay" command for her. If you feel that she will be in the way, you can actully tell her to stay. If you want her to move again, talk to her, and pick move.

These are the updates right now. More updates later.

[The Shadow]

Massive bump here!(And necropost)

Sorry for not posting here in awhile. I've been very busy lately, but now, Im going to start working on this again :smile:

Basicly, Im going to start to do some graphic edits, to make the game graphics more softer.

Here's some maps Im planning to have in the game:






More updates later on.

[modern algebra]

Great maps Black Shadow.

[chrysaor]

GREAT MAPS

the sky city reminds me a great deal of chrono trigger

BY THE WAY... MARICA means: "Quire" in spanish lol

so funny when i read it.

[The Shadow]

Yeah, I know MARICA means: "Quire" in spanish. Someone has already told me that on another site, but Im not planning to change the name.

Christmas is now over, and Im going to work on this again.
Im currently thinking on changing battle system. Im currently using the RTAB(Edited by Falcon), but Im planning to change it to TBS instead. Do you people think I should change it over to TBS, or should I stick with RTAB?

[chrysaor]

hehehe does alright you didn't have to, just put yourself in my position, spanish being my mother language.. it was funny.

Is it playable yet? a demo or something? i'd definitly give it a try..

[The Shadow]

No demo yet. Im currently having scripting issues, so no demo until they are solved.

[Ruzu]

I think you should go with whatever is best for you, and whichever seems to fit the style of the story/gameplay more.

[chrysaor]

I know i was only kiddin'.. i thought i was funny that's all. I never ment for him to change it, just to make him laugh.


Okay you let me know when you have anything playable

[The Shadow]

Final Version of the title:
[spoiler][/spoiler]

And another map from the game:
[spoiler][/spoiler]

Making a slow progress here ._., since most of the problems is the scripting, but I have someone who's helping me with that.

[modern algebra]

Really nice title screen Black Shadow

[ShellShocked]

Lots of promise. Uh, not that it really matters but, you know how it says something along the lines of 'without the wind, the world will become a desert', a desert in what sense? Sand desert, or just a place without much rainfall...?

[The Shadow]

Basicly, a place that's been dryed to a sand desert, because it isn't raining.

[The Shadow]

A small update: I've done some progress

Im currently working on the version without the Ongrian system, so I have something to show up. I've also changed to a new menu system. Here's a screenshot of it:


The menu is made by Kendore, so credits goes to him.

Also, the game has a new Logo:


And it's not over yet! 2 new playable character has entered the game

Catty

Age: 20

An old friend of Marche, but are now enemies. Catty used to search for treasures and plunder with Marche. It is said that she was in love with Marche, but after a betrayal of Marche, they enemies. She is a thief just like Marche, but she's using knives as weapons, and her speed in battle is breathtaking.

Patty

Age: 22

Patty is a warrior, who lives in the town of Mist. One day, while takning a walk she saved Marica from a wild beast, and after that, she's been protecting her from danger. She uses the spear, and it is said that she once beat 20 bandits, without any help.

Im going to work more on their background later on.
And to end it all, a screenshot:

[modern algebra]

Interesting updates. The only thing I don't really like is the uneveness of the CMS, but all in all, it's very nice.

[The Shadow]

The only thing I don't really like is the uneveness of the CMS

Sorry if I sound really dumb here, but what do you mean with uneveness?

[ShellShocked]

I think Alge is commenting on the fact that one side (the more in depth side) is longer than the other (where the play time and below are).

I like the skin though, nice colours and transparency rocks. : DD

[modern algebra]

Yeah, the character select window is a few pixels wider than the play time window, and then there's all that empty space under the status window - I think it would look better if that part were centred. There's also the fact that the command window has more options that aren't shown - with all that empty space, the command window could just be drawn larger to accomodate for extra commands.

All in all though, the menu design is solid and what is actually drawn in the windows look very good - the gradients look fantastic. It's just the positioning and size of the windows that sits a little uneasy with me.
