Intro: once ago... in the lands of Leverdon... Humans, orcs ,Kobalds, elves ad many other Races lived in peace and Harmony. until a man named Hernadez started a evil empire filled with darkness and strange creatures and ruled Leverdon. all these Races .. created a orb for each race, just one orb alone was nothing.. but if u putted em together they whare the most powerfull force ever created. The races raged war on the evil with the power of the orbs.... when the evil was destroyed the orbs where bringed back to each race.. but the peace was far from over. the races started to hate echother and now they are raging war on echother. but now Hernadez has returned. but now noone can stop him, becus the races aint co-operating they wont give the orbs t eachother, The time for evil has come.... or?
When u get to play: u wake up as the teenage girl Amnisha in her house of her granpas calling. he says the guy Egil has been looking for her when she was asleep. u start looking for egils house, when u finally find it his mother says he did go to the Cave nearby. u see a warning sign but u enter anyway. inside u fight monsters and stuff to reach egil, that tells he saw someone else entering the cave then he dies. as u go back to granpas house u find him dead, his last words is that u shoud check his closet.
well ofcourse u check it and find a secret path, there u find the Richoet Orb... then u relise what happend. then ur quest start to travel the lands of leverdon fight evil and earn the trust, and orb of each race. then defeat Hernadez and finally bring peace to leverdon....
thats the story.

no... thats not what i was thinking... but maybe thats a good idea... or not... u guys can decide that
*sigh*, If you don't care enough about your project to decide something as big as this on your own, I doubt you'll finish it.
And it looks like you want other people to do a majority of the work, I'll just tell you right now, thats not going to happen. Almost everyone here has their own projects, they're not going to put them aside to work on yours. Though I'm sure people will be more then happy to lend you a hand, you'll need to do most of the work on your project.

Seriously... making sprites is a hard thing and so is map making. You're doing about 1/4 of the work load by making a story. A 5 year old kid can write a story.
Now show me an example of your mapping skills and we'll see if you're even good at mapping...

OMG iam not... mapping, makin stories and enemies is alnmost all making a game is about..
Its true that the story and how you present it is usually the most important part of the game, mapping takes up most of the time. Making a relitivly small map takes me about 30 minutes, sometimes more, and larger ares such as a town can take a couple of weeks depending on how much time I have to work with it and how big it is.
I know you may not like making maps, and you may not be very good at it, but you'll be able to overcome it if you really want to make a game. It'll all be worth it though when you have your game completed.

The gameplay ins't going to be all that great in an rm2k3 game, and the graphics are gonna suck compared to a modern game. Though gameplay and good visuals will greatly help a rm2k3 game, without a good story, you won't have a good rpg game.

Not too long ago, there were 5 races on a planet.
[1]human beings
[2]ogres
[3]Elves
[4]Kobalds
[5]Demons
Of course, the five races lived in peace and harmony and created 5 diamonds for each race, each containing powerful magic, and when combined, a very powerful force. But they were all equal in power, so no orb was stronger than the other, they were equal in power. but they could not combine pairs of diamonds, or even 3 to aquire power, ALL of the diamonds had to be combined to release it's full power.
Ok, so they lived in peace and harmony until a man named Hernandez grouped together a few followers to obtain all of the diamonds. Of course, Hernandez is from the Human Race, and decided a takeover with some followers. He starts invading some villages and aquires 1 diamond from the ogres.
Ok amnisha is from the Elve race, and one day with her friend are out exploring in the woods. THey are attacked by humans and her friend is killed by a human. She escapes to her house, and finds her older brother dying. In a last breath, he tells her the story of the diamonds and how Hernandez must never aquire all of them. He gives it to her and she gains powers. Her brother dies, and amnisha decides to escape the elve village and hide. She hides for a while, then she decides it is her duty to help other races fight against Hernandez and his takeover.
And from there, it's up to you.
DUDE you gotta be creative, try different things, think about different things don't just go with the first thing that pops into your head.
any more help? PM me.

Anyway, I can't really help much with mapping right now, but if you need anything coding, just ask me and I'll walk you through how to do it.

Humans can be pretty sneaky though.. Anyway, to balance the power out, you just need to make dragons a little smaller (like horsed sized), or just make fewer of them. Theres stregnth in numbers, and if dragons don't have high numbers, well..

The whole point of it was that it wasn't as cliche'd, add a little twist you know? But whatever, it's your game. For coding on maps like to jump off of cliffs is simple like just make an event under the hero and make it get started by the decision key, then jump (move character) end jump and make sure the checkbox that says "ignore if impossible" so you can move on chips that aren't walkable, but you have to land on a chip that is, do you get me? That's probably the easiest way to make a simple jump

You can use those sprites if you want, but besides minor editing, the only ones I really made where the ones in armor. So if you don't use them, theres no need to credit me. I'm working on updated ones now because the ones in that old demo are about a year and a half old by now, the updated ones will look better and each color will have differant armor.

I didn't quite understand what you were saying really, did you want to show me the leader of each of the races?
Ok lemme ask a question:
How many species do you have in your game exactly? And which ones?

That sounds like "Ok I copied. If I say, ouch I hurt my foot, DB you're credits will be in MY game whenever you help me code, or not, because I want to use your dragon charas if it's ok." Hence, what did you copy?

Here's a hint: Voice-actors are strictly for experienced RMers. I don't mean that as an insult - I don't consider myself good enough for voice-overs yet.
If you want to make your game more unique, first work on your plot. Keep tweaking little bits of it until it gets to perfection. Don't worry about a cliche or two. Good games have to have cliche, just not too much. Like food with salt. A little here and there in the right places works wonders, but too much can ruin the whole thing.
Then, go on to looking at some simple quirks. Something like a simple CMS or some nice custom sprites can make your game very popular. Only do them if you know you're ready; nothing looks worse than a half-finished, crippled Menu where most of the features are "disabled" because you have no idea how to make them. ;)
A hint for mapping: Get some good chipsets, and use the same style for the whole game. Mix-and-matched styles of map look awful. If you like Mack-and-Blue, stick with it for the whole thing. When actually mapping, take your time to finish maps. I tend to take around 30 minutes upwards to finish an important map, and 20-30 minutes for a less important one. Be proud! If you like a map, post a screenshot, so everyone else can enjoy it too! ;)
(By the way, good name. Nice and memorable, but mysterious all the same. Good choice. :))

I use voice actors for battles, I really think it adds to the game. However, I would highly recommend not voice acting regular dialogue, it takes up a ton of space, and unless you have really good voice actors (profesionals - so probably not anyone here - no offence :(), it can ruin the game. Even commercial games with paid voice actors can be downgraded just by a few of the actors not being so good. Anyway, if you're using an ABS, I suggest voice acting the main character yourself, an attacking sound, a sound for each skill, a sound for dying, and a sound for being hit. Normally in ABS games theres only one hero, so you probably don't have to worry about the characters not in combat, it depends how your game is set up though. All you need for it is a microphone, hook it up to your computer, click on Start, all programs, accessories, entertainment, sound recorder.
As for the ABS, PM me with any questions on how to code it and I'll write you some tutorials. But I need to know the specific thing you want to do, example: displaying hp on the map, how to give monsters stats, how to take damage away from monsters when you attack them, and stuff like that.

Dude, thats a pretty lame statement. By telling the ending, he can get feedback on it. Feedback is good for a game. So actually, he cares enough about his game to give out the ending in order to make it better.
Besides, its not like he just told everyone, you pushed for him to tell you. The least you can do is give him feedback and constructive critisism on it.

I suppose you're right.
Though I don't know how I could critique that ending... It's rather cliche already, and... that's about all I have to say.

See my sig? Yeah, that's taken from an in-game moment of my ABS game called Pact, but did you know that the guy, the character you are controlling in the center of the screen, is actually just an event I put there? Yeah, bet you didn't figure that one out. See, you'll never control that character in my game, but he will help you as an AI. Because I was tried of showing pics with the same people over and over, I desided to include a different dude.
Now do you get it? Instead of complaining that you can't take pictures without the AI, just make events that wander around the map in random movement. That's what your AI is most likly going to be like anyways. You see, pictures, however vivid you make them, still don't tell the whole story. Thus meaning, they won't tell weither or not your monsters have coding already put into them, it just means that monsters are there.
AIM is instant messanger.

1. What exactly could **** be here? Because, I didn't ask you to do a sh*t doesn't make sence, nor does fu*k.
2. again, stop writing like a retarded monkey
3. I want you to read back a few posts and actually pay attention to them. The anwser to that question lies in those posts. It would be A: Stop bitching about me asking about screens, I only asked once, and merly told you a way that you could still do screens without need of AI. B: Stop writing like a retarded monkey. C: Learn to do a bit of programming yourself. You say this is like your 2nd or 3rd game, yet you didn't even know how to do a simple jumping script. D: Nope, no kicking. You can't kick someone each time you hear something you don't like. You can ask the person to quit posting or keep it to PMs, but don't even bother to ask me to do that, because the fact that you don't have enough manors or pactience to ask me to stop bugging you and rather find a way to exile me hasn't made me any happier with you.
And, the most heighting reason why I might seem angry with you is because you are like the thousands of other n00bs on here that post about 17 times till they get what hey want then leave without giving credit of thanks. You have any clue how many people with less then 50 posts ask us how to code ABS and CBS and crap? It gets tiresome.

If I see another flame by you on this thread, I will request for a mod to lock it
Alright, Zonic isn't the only one flaming here. All three of you are argueing, don't put all the blame on the new guy.
This topic is for Zonic's game, not for how much of a noob he is or isn't, thats besides the point. One of our goal at charas it to help people with their games, especially those who aren't expert programers. If you don't like it that members are asking how to make ABSs and stuff like that, then just stay away from the thread instead of complaining that he's asking a bunch of questions.

Plus, you type like a retarded monkey. Leon is completly right, your just throwing tantrums and hissy fits because no-one will help your meaningless cause.
And I just have to point that out. If your trying to discourage people from making games, go on right ahead, because thats what your doing. When you were in first grade and you had to take art, I'm sure your drawings sucked. However, I doubt your teacher told you your art sucked and it was worthless to continue. I'm not calling Zonic a first grader, I'm just pointing out when you're new at things and still are in the process of improving, calling their work worthless is just wrong.
I'm not saying you guys should make up and be friends. But please have enough in yourselves to put down the argueing and go back to the original intent of this thread.
And Zonic, you may have posted this thread, but when you did, you put it up to everyone on the forums. So really its not your topic anymore, and no matter how nice it may be, you can't kick anyone out of here.

Make sure there's something in your game unique from the rest of the crappy RPGs on the net (90% arent worth playing...)
Like...A unique level-up system, or perhaps an addition to battles (Team attacks?). anything really...
oh, and another thing, don't let us take over, Make the game the way YOU want it. But please, take the members' advice.

Holy crap man, those maps need love. Lots and lots of love. They feel emtpy inside and lifeless, and need something to fill the gap that divides them from achiving happiness.
*Trys to be blunt*
You still type like an eight year old. People, such as myself, would probally take you more seriously if you didn't type like this: ow, u sitll type like a 8 old people liek me wood probly take u more serious if u don't type like this.
*Trys to... be sorry*
I'm not going to take back a thing I said, but I'll say I didn't do it in the most apporiate mannor.
*Trys to give advice*
Your game making skills are less then standard, and I would highly recommend getting used to the maker before posting what you have made. Many people post their first game or the equalilvent of their first game on here and get crap responces like those I have given you, and odds are someone on here will mimic what I did on LinkForce's topic about how his maps lacked detail if you continue posting and being proud of those 'unloved' maps. Oh, and if you want to get any respect as a good maker, don't use RTP as much as possible.
I believe all that is game related enough.

First of all, no town is just grassy terrain. There will be dirt paths for worn out areas that people walk of, or just dead areas where grass doesn't grow. Use a dirt tile in order to create that detail. Now, if your chipset/tileset has a grass tile of different color value, use it as well. In some areas, the grass may be thinker, thus it will be darker, or it's more damp. Trees are a big thing. The number of trees used depends on the location and locale your town is located in. If you're in a plains area, you will more than likely be using few trees, since the plains are an open area. Now, a more forested of coastal town will have more trees and less dirt. There are also tiles for elevation, use those too since no place is completely flat. then you want your palce to look pretty, not just green and brown, add flowers randomly around the map, though not obstructing your path to certain areas where people need to go. Look at my map and you'll notice the detail in it. I just slapped it together, so don't expect it to be professional.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with all the previous suggestions on the maps. They're just too empty, and a little too blocky. A very easy thing to do that can help the maps is just to add differant ground tiles. Long grass, dark grass, light grass, dirt, or whatever your tileset comes with. Add a lot of trees, plants, stones, and stuff like that as well. If you have a hard time doing that, or if your tileset dosen't have a variety to work with, make the maps smaller.
Just really try hard at it, and you can even try to overdo it sometimes, it just adds more to the game if your maps have a varitety of elements to them.
It may take a little longer, but you should really make sure you type out words like c and 2 and use propore punctuation. When you're talking about your game, you want to be as clear as possible, rushing through it will often lead to missunderstandings.

people assume, that with screenshots are complete maps...
cos MOST people use screens to SHOW OFF their maps, NOT show screens of INCOMPLETE maps without saying so!

next time, tell us if they are unfinished, instead of making us criticise how empty they are, and making US seem like the bad guys.
and yes, I'm angry, But please, ignore the swearing and the angered words. The past few days havent been kind to me.
