Title: This sucks !!!
Post by: maxine on July 13, 2005, 06:40:06 AM: I am so pissed. Everytime i create a game, somethings wrong. I just quit the game hoping for another one too make. I cant do it !!! Everytime its something wrong.

1.The story. I cant come with a good story. If i do its cliché.

2. BC.. BC´s are a big problem for me. Spprite sized or Rtp style??. And i cant make them AND if i want Pyroalchemist too do them, i somehow dont know how i want them... My head just stops thinking!!.

3. The HP levels... In RM2K3 the players starts with like 200 HP on level one. And when you choose below average its still high amount. Same with MP etc.. That just makes me feel mad, cuz costuming some HP and MP for 30 minutes isnt my thing (allthough this isnt a big problem).

4. When i work on my game. Each time i start it, i create one or two events them im tired of it. This could be cuz i am not happy with my game. Damn can you find some ways of helping me get too work.

someone mentioned in some thread that music helps.... But is it anything more???? I really want too make a game.

Thanks for reading

1. Don't just randomly pull stories out of your butt. In order to focus on a story, pick one that is personal. Sort of like, a game with an underlying meaning or theme that relates to you. Personal things are easy to work with and you usually stick with it.

2. Just use RTP or stuff you find on the internet. First games don't need to be flashy.

3. Stats are easy if you have a plan. Like Suikoden, it generates random numbers within a certain range. Just pull a random number within a certain range (say 8-12 HP per level up).

4. Events are the best part. The database is what's tiring. That's where I lose motivation, the database. Once I get to the events, I fly and type and things get to moving. All you need to do is follow step one and know what you're doing and it should run smoothly.

Post by: maxine on July 13, 2005, 06:55:57 AM: Thanks. I will try :D..

But for me important things is

1.That the hero(s) looks cool

2.That i have right music for my maps

3.That the player shall feel happy for playing my game....

Anyways, i this morning canselled my game called "Operation cold point" just cuz i couldent find suiting chipsets. But now i am gonna do a usual quest.. I will begin TODAY !!! :D

Post by: maxine on July 13, 2005, 08:52:35 AM: OK look... The worst thing is getting started. If someone has a canselled story please tell it here. Maybe i get interest in it so i can make it.... The story is really not my strong way of making.

Sorry for double post

Post by: barnsalot on July 13, 2005, 11:05:43 AM: I don't really worry about my story being "Cliche". I believe that a lot of the cliche ideas are that way because they make for a good story. Anyway, that's just my little input, you don't have to agree with it.

Post by: Drace on July 13, 2005, 11:20:16 AM: Well Maxine, I have an old story which you may use. I've said many times that people may use it but meh. No one wanted it.

Sounds like an expansion of Chrono Trigger after Lavos wins.

Post by: Drace on July 13, 2005, 03:32:53 PM: Is that cool?

Sidenote: Never played Chrono Trigger

Post by: maxine on July 13, 2005, 03:43:28 PM: Chrono trigger is a cool game i have too say.... Travelling between worlds.. Just played it on emulator though... I prefer you try it out

Good point...

Well Maxine, don´t be shy to use RTP...I detest this anti-RTP thing. This is what RPGs are made of: STORY. Graphics actually have crashed all nowadays RPGs! All they care is about good graphics, even though the story sucks. Take Star Ocean: Till the End of Time as an example and Chrono Trigger as a example that, regardless of how it looks, a good story will take you to the top...

I actually DID finish Chrono Trigger AGAIN, for the third time, and Star Ocean is still waiting to be finished!!!

Post by: Trevlac on July 13, 2005, 04:39:12 PM: What platform is Star Ocean for?
Title:
Post by: maxine on July 13, 2005, 05:23:32 PM: Ah ye keep on so i learn :D...

And that was good said Trev. But if you are using this rtp graphic and mix it with something else.. It looks kinda odd. But it could work if u make a dream game or whatever.. Or maybe as you say "everything works just if you have a good story"... Ill think of that
Title:
Post by: Prpl_Mage on July 13, 2005, 05:55:28 PM: Ive finished Star Ocean(3) Til the end of time!
And when you does there are still lots o things to do!

God dammit i hate Freya...

Post by: PyroAlchemist on July 13, 2005, 10:34:11 PM: I don't have a game for you but if you do ever need a sprite size battle chara I'll do it. Just because I'm nice. And I think the best way to start a game is to first find what your most interested in, if possible make it simple, and then make it a game. Thats what I do.:) But eh it might not work for everyone.
Title:
Post by: Almeidaboo on July 14, 2005, 01:03:49 AM: Star Ocean 3 is for PS2...and the story sucks. So, the AMAZING graphics and the "one of the best combat styles ever" are useless.

Wow, Drace, I feel bad for you. No one liked your game...
Title:
Post by: Drace on July 14, 2005, 10:38:12 AM: Yeah well, meh. I've given up making games a month later. I come up with idea's sometimes but I can't be bother with learning how to make variable and switches and that kind of stuff. Just doesn't interest me.
Title:
Post by: PyroAlchemist on July 14, 2005, 10:42:40 AM: Thats cool Maxine. I have 2 people I'm doing know though.:D

Post by: maxine on July 14, 2005, 10:59:57 AM: Yeah :D but mine would be special for ya :P i need some decieded poses.. :D
Title:
Post by: PyroAlchemist on July 14, 2005, 12:18:39 PM: :D oke.
Title:
Post by: Shadowninja on July 14, 2005, 12:40:19 PM: I start with a really simple idea I think feels good, and I just dive in and start to make the game.

It nearly ALWAYS feels like it's bad at first, but if you persevere, and keep making it, you can always go back and update the more empty/boring areas with extra stuff.

Then I end up getting a huge flood of ideas which ends up making the rest of the game lol.

And yeah, I actually like RTP.
It's easy to use, looks good (in my opinion) and lets you start designing straight away.
Title:
Post by: maxine on July 14, 2005, 12:46:05 PM: Well RTP looks good, but its pretty usual theese days
Title:
Post by: mind-master: brain(mmb) on July 14, 2005, 12:56:27 PM: i start up an idea of the world you play in,
then character bio's, after that basic storyline,
and then the whole 30-page-long story XD,
then i write down other stuff, and i do not use RTP,
i make my resources myself... so meh..
