Title: ALTAR: Retaliation
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 08, 2005, 05:02:32 AM
A couple of things before I go into character stories and the plot.

First up, how do I take a screenshot...yes I'm that stupid.

Another thing, I need some serious help making this game. The thing is, I use the Charas generators for this game but the Faceset thing doesn't work well for me. I heard that Facemaker PL is overused, and I WOULD use it, if I could find it, but oh well... As for the Battlechars, I use the generator, and it doesn't work too well....they just look....wrong....I can't customize my own because I have no idea how to do that. I have the sizes ad all written down but making my own from scratch is beyond me and I'm using original chars. Recoloring has crossed my mind many imes, but that is last resort. I think my charset for a couple of my chars are 'okay' but you people tell me what you think. Here is the Charset for the first couple of characters in the game that are playable.
Man I just want to shootmyself this is one long post! >.<

OH GAH I FOREGOT THE CHARSET!

UPDATE: Screens are on page 3
UPDATE2: Demo is ready, need host.
UPDATE3: The Demo is hosted, and ready for download! Link on page 4.

Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 08, 2005, 05:38:25 AM
Oh that would be awsome! Considering the fact I'm using an RTP title... >.<

Yup....RTP....Almost RTP everything. still don't know the screen shot function too...hehe....

Oh yeah here is the main character charset.

Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 08, 2005, 05:42:29 AM
Sorry bout the double post...maybe not, this IS my thread, but whatever. Here is the Charset I foregot in the first post. The first guy is the man character Matt. The next person is his little sister, Yunie. Then is Kyle, a pretty strong dude, and his buddy, Daggon. Then is Matt's best friend, Dalen. Don't ask about Yunie's clothes, I'll explain later, or on a website if I get one....hmmmmmm....

Post by: kodakumi on August 08, 2005, 05:43:20 AM
ill try getting it as exact as possible, what type of class is he first though?
Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 08, 2005, 05:46:27 AM
Hmmm...class huh? If you mean from the RPGMaker he is a Hero A...hehe.... but personally I would say some sort of Knight. Oh and if anyone could make a signature that looks like this of some sort?
Title:
Post by: kodakumi on August 08, 2005, 06:12:39 AM
Im just intending the one in pink is a chick, how bout i have this "hero" of yours bowing to her?
Title:
Post by: kodakumi on August 08, 2005, 07:05:55 AM
this is the best i can do for now, i couldnt create a cape and the lightings a little terrible, but it covers up the pixilation.

Its a pic of Matt kneeling to Yunie.


ps: wow.... ddnt know how bad i captured his face, i could try again if you want... ill also save in better quality then J-peg.
Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 08, 2005, 06:02:57 PM
Dude that i some sick pic there. Just one thing, why would Matt bow to Yunie? But that is pretty damn good.  That is sooooo cool. But just to say, Yunie is Mat's "Younger" Sister. Like sorta a kid/teen.

Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 08, 2005, 06:24:55 PM
Aww man....I can't import the image to my game, it has to be 256-color but when I do that, It loses so much color it does'nt even look like what you made....Any way that you can sorta fix that its already in 256-color, it would be appreciated, if not...im gonna keep tying on what u gave me...This is what it looks like when I make it 256.

Post by: RPG LORD on August 08, 2005, 06:33:36 PM
That's not good.
Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 08, 2005, 06:49:52 PM
yeah, it's not good. Now it wont let me import it to RPGMaker...Even though It doesn't look good like that, gotta have something, cause it's better than nothing...>.< CURSE MY COMPUTER CURSE IT ALL! Well, I would post the first screenshot as soon as I figuree out how... I thought it was the Print Screen button...if it is, then where did the shot go?
Title:
Post by: 69_so_fine on August 08, 2005, 06:50:29 PM
why dont you try making sprite sized battle charas
They are alot easier to customize
Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 08, 2005, 06:55:17 PM
Yeah, I would if I knew what those are...hehe...a bit newbish here, cause the last game I made was about a year ago, and it got lost in a system reboot....So...what are sprite sized battlechars? Are those like mega small ones?
Title:
Post by: 69_so_fine on August 08, 2005, 06:59:05 PM
This is basically wat it is
please excuse his animations i just made him to show you wat it is
Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 08, 2005, 07:03:13 PM
It looks a little weird....Maybe I can make my own from scratch or go with recoloring or do what you said. I don't know...I'm having trouble just making a god damn bedroom. It's too hard for the walls! I don't understand how to make a wall go around in a room! My head hurts! I'm gonna go get some asprin...

Post by: Starduster on August 08, 2005, 07:04:48 PM
theres a button next to to f12 on your keyboard and before scroll lock, it says printscreen, hit that button where ou want to take a screen shot, then open paint and paste it and save it.
Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 08, 2005, 07:10:17 PM
Okay got that down, but where does the screenshot go when I take it, I have no idea, sorry bout the newb questions, but like I said, I recently forgot my RPGMaker teachings....Then I shall post the first screenshot!

Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 08, 2005, 07:22:22 PM
okay... Does it come up with a message of where I post it? Or does it just take it and go there without me having to do anyhting but press a button, cause I cannont find it at all...
Title:
Post by: 69_so_fine on August 08, 2005, 07:27:08 PM
You should just load it back up and this time hit
                               "Save as"
and then you can choose were you want to save your picture
Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 08, 2005, 07:29:07 PM
Wait, not from paint though. Because I don't know where the original screenshot from the Maker goes, at all....
Title:
Post by: 69_so_fine on August 08, 2005, 07:37:40 PM

Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 08, 2005, 07:38:47 PM
Yes, I know that but where the heck do I paste the screenshot from? Now we are getting somewhere...
Title:
Post by: 69_so_fine on August 08, 2005, 07:45:17 PM

1.You have a place you made
2.test the game
3.when you get to the screen you want press prt scr on your keyboard(it should be next to F12 or Backspace)
4.paste the image in paint
5.save as it to somewere
6.load it into your message
OK
Title:
Post by: Starduster on August 08, 2005, 07:47:26 PM
i thought i made it pretty simple. but oh well if you don't get it the way 69 put it i don't know how to help you.
Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 08, 2005, 07:49:50 PM
Okay let me explain my problem.

I get everything else, but the screenshot I take, is somewhere on my computer, before I paste it into Paint, correct? If so, I have no idea where it is.

Let's see:
1. I test the game
2. I press Prt Scr
3. I exit the game
4. I open paint
5. I click Paste From
6. I don't know where the screenshot is...

Do I gotta take the screenshot in Full Screen or Windowed?
Title:
Post by: 69_so_fine on August 08, 2005, 07:51:18 PM
im sorry but thats the best i can explain it
Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 08, 2005, 07:55:56 PM
Let's try this, "Where do I paste the screenshot from so it goes into Microsoft Paint?" :D

Also, "When I take the screenshot while Testing my game, Which folder does it go into?"
Title:
Post by: kodakumi on August 08, 2005, 11:52:57 PM
oh crap  :x

im real sorry, i guess ill/youll have to find a way around that.


by the way at that size it wouldnt import as a title.

paste it on to your concept title and see how it looks... fade the edges or something.


again im real sorry, i'll try get around this.
Title:
Post by: PyroAlchemist on August 09, 2005, 12:04:06 AM
okay here goes. press print screen, go to ms paint and click in the edit tab, click on paste, save as *name here* and make the place your saving it to desktop . That help any?
Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 09, 2005, 12:38:02 AM
HAZZA!!! I got the first screenshot right here! I finally noticed people were saying PASTE and not Paste From... :D hehehe... Well, on to the screen shot! It's of Dalen talking to Matt about leaving the town. And I forgot to move that old man. He is stuck in the flowers...If anyone can gve me pedistrian charsets that would be nice. I hate RTP. Here is the story too!

For years, people were born with powers known as ALTAR powers. The "ALTAR-Users" hid in exile, kept their powers a secret, were hunted down by people or HOLY, or joined HOLY. HOLY is the most feared orginization in the galaxy, mostly because a high number of th emembers are ALTAR-Users.
Matt's entire family use ALTAR powers. Matt and his best friend, Dalen, head out to get away from the same old routine of the town tey live in, Kuyaza. They leave and travel to the main road to see smoke rise from the town and see it get burned.
Now they quest with many others to get revenge from HOLY, and this turns into something much more...

Your quest starts just before the burning starts.

CHARACTERS:

Matt
Age: 21
Weapon: Great Swords
He is very immature buts tries to impress Teressa a whole lot.

Dalen
Age: 22
Weapon: Samurai Swords
Dalen hates Matt's little sister, Yunie, because yunie has a crush on him. Dalen like Prane, Daggon's older sister.

Daggon
Age: 18
Weapon: Claymores
Daggon does not ask questions, or give orders. He just follows whatever Kyle does.

Kyle
Age: 32
Weapon: Fists
Kyle is all brawns and no brains. He just follows orders from someone smarter EXCEPT Daggon.

Yunie
Age: 15
Weapon: Staves
Yunie is Matt's younger sister. She has a huge crush on Dalen, Matt's best friend.

Pops
Age: 64
Weapon: Short Swords
Pops is just the town baretender until his town is in danger, that's when he rips off his fake beard and goes into action.

Prane
Age: 24
Weapon: Fists
Daggon's bigger sister, Prane is very powerful in battle.

Teressa
Age: 22
Weapon: Great Swords
She is the cute one of the group that is smart but clumsy, and Matt has the big crush on her.

Magi
Age: 20
Weapon: Staves
Magi was transported from Gaia into the HOLY main base and he escaped with the help of Dalen and Daggon. He really likes Yunie.

And that's all I got. If you wanna be in the game, give me a charset and a reasonable name!

If anyone can tell me how to post more than one screen at once? If they can, I would highly appreciate it. Thanks!

Anyways here are two new screens of the game.
The First one is a screen of Dalen saying Matt is An ALTAR-User, and is now saying sorry.
Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 09, 2005, 12:52:18 AM
The second screen is a screen of a battle where Matt and Daggon are fighting a RTP Dragon thingie...Matt is in his ALTAR suit and using his special, "ALTAR Blade". His second special is "ALTAR Punch" which i will get a shot of very soon.

Title:
Post by: PyroAlchemist on August 09, 2005, 01:27:58 AM

Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 09, 2005, 01:35:55 AM
Ah...oh yeah...Sorry i forgot, heheheh.
Anyways, I need to know whether anyone can help me with some stuff. Like if the title from kodakumi doesn't work well, I need a new one, no offense. I need a Game Over design, I can most likey do that myself. If I can get a new improved Faceset of he image below, horraay. If anyone can improve the charset on page one, yaaaaay. I need Battlecharset of those characters. I need a nice chipset, and some MIDI help. And I need a nice System. Either 1 or 2. I don't NEED these, but I can't make these myself. I'm not saying for everyone to go do work or else I'm gonna shoot them. I'm just asking for help all in one post.
Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 09, 2005, 01:38:40 AM
Whoops...Forgot to put the Faceset.

Yay! I got my sig up finaly! Okay, here is a screenshot of the XP version of this game. Well, not the XP version, but a cool battle shot of an XP thing.
If you guys wanna see more of my XP version, I'll either start a new thread with a diff game name, or put both the 2k3 and XP versions here.
Title: Sorry for he TRIPLE POST, but...
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 09, 2005, 10:08:43 AM
Sorry for the TRIPLE POST, but I finally  started somewhat of a demo. It's a quick demo of the ighting system, menu system, and the chipsets I have. But it is almost done! Haazaa! The demo starts a bit after the begining of the game, after the town begins to burn down. It's at the end of the Secret Cave that leads from a forest's edge into your home. you don't explore it, but you DO own a bunch os soldiers, a captain, and a Demonic Sorceror! Heheh...anyways, here is the first of the many screenshots of th eupcoming demo.
Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on August 09, 2005, 10:14:09 AM

Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on September 02, 2005, 10:39:29 PM
Okay....I'll continue the game if anyone wants it continued, or someone gives me 5 bucks.
Title:
Post by: MammonMachine on September 03, 2005, 01:44:19 PM
Look man, when you build a game, you are building it for your self, and not for anyone else. That's the best way to go about making a game. Because if you like your own game, then chances are when you release it other people will too.


If you don't want to build this **** then don't build it. The fact that you would only build it for other people or for money just means it's going to be a crappy game in the end anyway. Just drop it and move on to something YOU want to do.
Title:
Post by: Shadow_Blade913 on September 04, 2005, 08:21:12 AM
Umm...thanks I think....I just wanted 5 bucks is all....I guess I'll give this another go.
