RTP-Only Challenge!

EvilM00s · January 16, 2014, 05:02:29 PM

I have big plans for the rest of the story... I really hope I can implement them. I don;t want to look back here and think "I was talking tall shit but once again failed to deliver." So off I go to work and when I return I'll put some more time into the project. Here goes.

Lookin' good!!

It's nice to see such progress! B)

I'm probably going to work with a fresh project, only keeping the ideas I came up with for the database and such (with using "stages" instead of level ups). Only this time, I think I'll go for a Dating Sim-ish RPG. >

I've enver tried one of those, they seemed corny... but I'll try yours since I know you to have decent ideas and creativity, UNLESS there is chibi nookie. That would be weabish and we all know what happens to weebs around here!

yuyu! · January 17, 2014, 08:11:33 AM

It's okay. ;o It won't be weebish. It will be mature (but not dirty

) romance.

Because I wouldn't want to be a weeb.

Dumb question, what if I edited the VX characters to make them look more Ace Character styled... Would that be allowed? (Even though I'm not even doing my game anymore, and it just sounded like a fun challenge

)

To be honest, I don't have a good answer for that. That's why I told her to post it here. =o I've always hated how different the Ace characters look from the VX characters, so I don't really consider that bad. But at the same time, it's still considered importing something. So, I guess more feedback is in order.

Either way, I urge you to post all of them on your sprite thread or something. >:O Even if we can't use them for this challenge, they're still really useful. ;_; (I think she finished them all ?)

Dr. Mc · January 25, 2014, 03:41:49 AM

I finished them all, I'll go post it on my Resource whatever topic "Dr. Mc's Character Stuff" I think it was, either way its in my Signture for a quick link.

EvilM00s · January 29, 2014, 06:49:20 AM

Just a few tweaks to the maps and events and I can post a "beta" if you will. Seems kinda silly to do so, but I want to have something out, get it out the door and see how it flies.

Couple days, considering how work is... well... abducting me lately.

EvilM00s · February 11, 2014, 05:40:22 PM

Game;s done. Want me to post it here, or make a thread in New Projects?

yuyu! · February 11, 2014, 10:21:09 PM

I think you could make your own project thread and then link to it from here.

Your game deserves a thread! ;_;

EvilM00s · February 11, 2014, 10:54:07 PM

Very well!

Refer to this thread!

yuyu! · March 06, 2014, 05:36:07 AM

I'm still working on one of these, too. Granted, I'm also kinda shifting between this and Mistvale (when I finally remember to perform a clean up of my computer), so yeah. I decided to cut out the bs and go with something simple and fun - so, I'm remaking the first game I ever made on RPG Maker. It was literally my test project to get to know the program: a very light-hearted and made up on-the-spot game.

Only this time, I guess I didn't entirely cut out the bs, because I ended up eventing my own stupidly simple side-view battle system. It should be completely done, so now I'm working on the rest of the game.

I'd like to see how this was done! Very interesting!

I pretty much scrapped the skills/mid-battle items menu and just stuck with "attack". So, it's kinda automatic, like Fire Emblem, but you have the option to swap party members mid-battle for the next wave of attacks. :B So, only one person fighting at a time. I might have to add in something for running from battles, now that I think about it.

Honestly, it's a bit weird to not be able to heal mid-battle, but I find it to be more realistic and tactical-based.

Waterfall town wheeeeeee

And here's the whole enchilada (zoomed out 1/4 because I'm lazy):

Wow, that took forever. Haven't even done the interiors yet.

EvilM00s · March 09, 2014, 06:30:01 AM

I hate this company's image filter...

I must see the screenies!

yuyu! · March 18, 2014, 05:18:59 AM

Taking a different direction. Again.

It's very different than anything I've tried, but it looks fairly close to actual medieval houses (from what I've seen, at least).

I kinda like it. What do you guys think?

bluntsword · March 18, 2014, 05:12:23 PM

I like the town a lot! I'm a little concerned about the safety of the inhabitants with that ghost floating around though...

yuyu! · March 18, 2014, 08:10:54 PM

It's okay.

They don't know he's there.

Until it's toO LATE AHHHH

SoulPour777 · March 19, 2014, 12:59:31 PM

After reading the whole thread, I am amazed how you all handle the RTP. I've always wanted to get outside the RTP, because I always thought its always giving the old feel or the RM feel...but wow, I have to say I am amazed. I never thought the RTP can do this great...its more than enough to make an interesting game <3

EvilM00s · March 19, 2014, 01:43:22 PM

Thanks, SoulPour! When you're used to using scripts and 3rd party graphic resources, RTP feels very limiting- but I believe it is that limitation which stimulates creativity.

yuyu! · March 19, 2014, 08:38:20 PM

Ain't that the truth!

I prefer eventing, anyways. As per Malson's fabulous idea, I've evented a game where you roam about as a ghost and possess people. Still trying to work out the story kinks and mapping stuff. I'm thinking I'll stay with those medieval-like houses I mapped out. B)

Always willing to take up a team for the RTP-Only, if anyone's up for it. But the game is going to be pretty simple, so it's going to be a -fairly- easy goal.

EvilM00s · March 19, 2014, 10:40:29 PM

Dude. Like, no way. That house style is really groovy! I mean like, good enough to steal!

Not that I'd steal from you, we're WAY too good of friends for that. But if we weren't, OH DAYUMN *zshooop* mine, bitches! Heeeyeah!

I'm quite impressed.

I'm glad ye like them! B) I'm thinking about adding a bit of wear and tear to them, since the town isn't a very happy place anymore.

akatharsia · April 03, 2014, 11:48:43 PM

This is the sort of thing I can handle. Maybe I can complete a game if I'm not worried about making it looking pretty. (Especially since I still have that option, now that Exhydra's pointed out that you can move events fractional squares!)

The screenshots so far prove that RTP can be used well. <3
