Title: Wishes of the Past (Now with Screens)
Post by: CoolZidane on June 25, 2005, 02:42:03 AM: This is my new RPG, Wishes of the Past.

Jeno, the heir to a vast fortune, awakens one night to fighting. He finds his father fighting the Deviliso Pirates, a fierce band of pirates. His father is slain, and Jeno hides while the Pirates steal the fortune.

No one believed Jeno's story, and so, broke and homeless, he joined a Gypsy camp.

Years later, Jeno has forgotten the incident. Later, he accidentally kills some Gyspy-Haters, and must hide from the Authority, the police force of the world. However, after killing the Gypsy-Haters, Jeno is confronted with a shocking image: A dead man on a floor.

Jeno hides in the Gypsy Hideaway, a sanctuary for the Gypsies. After some events, the Hideaway is attacked by the Authority, and Jeno and his friend, Zalo, escape.

The two flee through the woods outside the city. In the woods, they meet a creature. The creature is a gambler, and, through losing a bet, gives up an artifact to the two.

In a nearby town, it is revealed that the artifact grants one wish to its holder. Zalo wishes for a great amount of money, and he gets it. Jeno is unsure of what to wish for.

However, he does not have much time to ponder as Jeno and Zalo find themselves being pursued by a mysterious man named Xerve.

Who is this Xerve? What will Jeno wish for? What are Xerve's intentions? Who is the man in Jeno's visions? Find out in Wishes of the Past.

Characters:

Jeno
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Bio: Once the owner of a vast fortune, he finds his life turned upside-down after an attack on his home.

Zalo
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Bio: A born-Gypsy, he escapes from the Authority with Jeno. He always hopes for something good to happen with his life.

Nicholas
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Bio: Living in a secluded village by the sea, he is one of the Patrol Men, scouting to shoreline for pirates. Co-organizer of the Pirate Defense.

Elena
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Bio: Lives in the village with her friend, Nicholas. Co-organizer of the Pirate Defense.

Brydo
Gender: Male

It would be great to have help with resources, particularly facesets, chipsets, and battlecharsets.

Jeno and his father, Roy, train in the mansion's courtyard.

Roy is worn out with today's training.

Jeno explores his mansion.

Jeno walks around the town of Nekido. (RTP will be replaced)

An orchard in Nekido.

Who is this man?

Jeno fights Pirates in his attempt to escape.

Post by: Weerd Thing on June 25, 2005, 04:23:06 AM: Original story. Sounds very interesting... I'll see what I can do for you.

W££rd

Post by: darkrune on June 25, 2005, 04:39:16 AM: Sounds great, storyline very origonal. Sounds like alot of suspense.
Title:
Post by: CoolZidane on June 26, 2005, 09:29:20 AM: This is the prototype charset for the heroes and villain.

(The villain is the second guy in the top row)

Post by: maxine on June 26, 2005, 09:32:45 AM: nice story and all. But everyone keeps saying new RPG. How come nobody releases games?? ive only seen some demos.
Title:
Post by: CoolZidane on June 26, 2005, 09:35:17 AM: Maxine: I'm almost done planning the whole story out, which is an important thing in games to do.

If you don't plan out a story from beginning to end before you start making the game (events and the like, that is), you can mess up quite a bit.
Title:
Post by: CoolZidane on June 27, 2005, 03:22:59 AM: Out of a quick note, there won't be any screens available for a while, mainly due to the lack of resources. Hopefully I'll be able to get some help with facesets and battlecharsets.
Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on June 27, 2005, 03:33:48 AM: Sounds great. But here's a question, are they Romanian type gypsies or "Kill them and steal their wallets before burying them in a sewage pipe" gypsies?
Title:
Post by: CoolZidane on June 27, 2005, 04:13:01 AM: They are definitely not the "steal your wallet" people.

To describe them, they are kind, pretty intelligent people. They are best known for their skills in magic. Unfortunately, the non-magic users are jealous and treat them as the outcasts of society (Even though they can easily learn magic).

They mainly work for their food. They don't beg, but don't have the resources or respect to get a good job. Essentially, most of the females put on dances, and the males entertain people. Despite the fact that the Gypsies are not well-liked, many people pay money to witness these perfomances.

However, the Gypsy-haters are the extremely jealous non-magic users who believe they can never learn magic, and want the Gypsies gone.

Maps: 1%

Please tell me what you think of the game.

Btw, if you'd like to help, that would be very nice. I'll make sure to credit you and help with music in exchange (if you want).

I hadn't completed it when I took the screen, but I've added more to the map.
Title:
Post by: InsaneJP on July 03, 2005, 06:48:06 PM: so coolzidane need any characters to be designed?
Title:
Post by: CoolZidane on July 03, 2005, 06:56:34 PM: What do you mean by design? Just curious?
Title:
Post by: Moosetroop11 on July 03, 2005, 06:58:26 PM: I assume the battle screen is still in it's early stages?

The story's great, though.
Title:
Post by: InsaneJP on July 03, 2005, 07:08:45 PM: well if you have an idea for a character i can make him/her for you however you want them to look!.....think of me as a personal character creator ;)
Title:
Post by: CoolZidane on July 05, 2005, 11:21:51 PM: Update: New screens.

Also, the story is progressing well.

If anyone wants to help, that would be greatly appreciated, and I would gladly make music in exchange for the services.
Title:
Post by: CoolZidane on July 07, 2005, 05:35:20 PM: Once again, there is another screen.

Please tell me what you think of the game, and if you want to help, that would be greatly appreciated.
Title:
Post by: Blazingheart on July 07, 2005, 09:55:18 PM: I think you should work more on the characters,and battle characters,better to use spritesized ones
Title:
Post by: CoolZidane on July 07, 2005, 09:59:36 PM: I'm converting the battlecharsets to sprite-sized. Ironically, I made a request for it minutes before you posted.
Title:
Post by: CoolZidane on July 08, 2005, 01:16:14 PM: New screen again.

The story for what will be in the demo is complete.

(Demo-wise)
Story: 100%
Resources: 20% (Trying to get sprite-sized battlecharsets)
Maps: 2-5%
Title:

That would be very helpful, Pyro. Thanks if you can help. My battlecharset request thread is in the "Requests" section.
Title: Tell me what you think of it
Post by: CoolZidane on July 14, 2005, 06:08:42 PM: I know this is a bump from the grave, but I am trying to get more opinions on this.

And, if anyone wants to help, I could use some facesets and battlecharsets. (I have 3 out of 7)

Post by: maxine on July 14, 2005, 06:19:48 PM: i think the game looks great !!

I like Sprite-sized better, and that is the style I'm using, despite any screens showing RTP-style.

Speaking of screens, I'm adding in a new one.

Title:
Post by: CoolZidane on July 19, 2005, 06:17:01 PM: Thanks, shinote. I got them from your PMs, but thanks all the same. They're really good.

I know I'm posting, but it is on a different computer than my RPG maker, so I still am not able to update the game for another week and a half.
Title:
Post by: CoolZidane on July 23, 2005, 08:50:17 PM: Well, I'm back, but I'll be leaving again tomorrow. I just wanted you to know that there will be another week with no progress.

Please check this out. I need feedback.
