STORY:
Osdray Ech-toroll is a hunter. He guards over the small village of Mixan, hidden in the heart of the great forest. The village was lead by a shaman, who sought to keep balance in the village.
One day, a wolf attacks the village, nearly killing the shaman. Osdray, of course, comes in the nick of time to save the village from the wolf.
Osdray felt sorry for not showing up soon enough to defend the shaman, so to forgive him, he came to see him.
The shaman was pleased to see Osdray, but in Osdray, he saw a brash, stubborn man who was overconfident. He warned him not to rush into things he's not sure of. An argument between them started, and eventually, Osdray storms off, back into the forest.
Osdray had never lost a single battle in his life, but such was about to change. The alpha wolf ambushed Osdray and nearly killed him.
He woke up, back in the shaman's abode, wounds mended. Osdray was ashamed at how he had lost against such an easy opponent, and not even outnumbered! He was enraged at how he lost so quickly! Soon after a short lecture from the shaman about what had happened, Osdray figured it out; The shaman had deliberetley possessed the alpha wolf in order to defeat him!
The elderly and frail shaman posed very little against Osdray's superior strength and skill, and the shaman was beaten to death with Osdray's staff.
It wasn't before long when Osdray realized what he had just done. He had done the unforgivable; he had killed his own shaman; he was forever banned from Mixan, and he knew it. He set off north, through cold mountains, and settled on top of the highest and coldest of peaks.
It was after a few days in the mountains, when Osdray figured it was time to start again. He would become a great warrior; he'd be remembered by all!
Refilled with determination, he began to traverse his way down the mountain...

FEATURES: There are many interesting quirks in this game to be inserted if the game goes down okay. Already working is an Acrobatics system, a custom-made church system, and a counterattack system (which is done, but not implemented.)
The main thing about this game, though, is freedom. After you get to a certain point in the game, you'll be completley free to do whatever you please. I plan to make many sidequests and try and make the game as balanced as possible.
If you have any more ideas of what could be included in the game, PM me.
More later.
EDIT: Finally figured a title. Tell me if it's good or not.
EDIT2: SCREENSHOTS!!!
Title screen. I don't paticularly like it.
Battle screen of main character performing special attack!
Battle screen of some other armored dude performing his special attack!
Other things-
How my version system works:
Basically; it's going to be like this:
All parts of the manditory, standard story (In other words, there's going to be a bit of a possibility to make slight story branches that ultamitley lead to either an alternate ending or further in the game with certain bonuses) will be finished by ver. 1.0. By version 2.0, I plan to have most of the major plot branches finished up. By 3.0, I plan to have a wide array of sidequests done. That's how my versions work, pretty much.

Hah hah hah! Don't worry, it's serious.
Expect it, as of right now... to be mediocre. Just I need SOMEBODY to play it in order to get some criticizm.

I think of mediocre as "you need to get the four crystals!" and bad mapping and badly used rtp. Oh, yeah I recognized the midis at once and I've always liked them. As for the title, how about "Warrior"? Just a thought. So far, I'm really liking this. Good job!
I'm... seriously flattered. :D

Pros: The events and maps are good, and I love how you made small events like the carpenters and wood carriers in the town. The poses and cool, and the faces are cool too.
Cons: The faces still have that blue around them, the battles are to often and to long, there's no inn at the first town (and if you're like me and took the wrong path in the beginning, then you'll know that you can lose health very fast), and most maps are very squarish. However, you're mapping is above adverage and the squaring is minor so I wouldn't worry about it.
I mainly stopped because battle took to long and got me bored. Your events if what I would say is your high point, and battles would be your low at the moment. Just put their speed down on the map so you don't run into so many or take some out.

Thank you. I might want to mention you can start moving fast if you press shift. It allows you to go around quicker.

Thing is, he accidently took the wrong path, and didn't know you could run by pressing shift. There are these slow-moving, powerful packs of wolves in the woods. He must've encountered some of those...

On that note. After the event with the prince, my dash was only as fast as normal speed, and normal speed was super-slow. Not sure if that was a random glitch or a bug in the code, as when I checked the event, everything looked in order.

If you tap shift really quickly, you can end up walking really slowly, or running crazy fast. I'm not sure how to fix that though.

A little bit deeper into the acrobatics system.
Climbing down a tunnel!
Well what else would a jumping dragon say?
Boulders falling down the mountain!
What? You think I'd forget monsters!?
Post by: Leon_1990 on November 23, 2005, 10:32:22 PM
nice screens, but they're a little bare. Try adding some flowers, or extra patches of grass on the outside.
and some varying grounds in caves.

First, your plains areas are fine, better then fine in fact. They could be a little bit more compacted with detail, more flowers and trees and etc, but over all good.
Caves, this is pretty common. Most people will put huge chasms in the cave and a few spires that jet out. By the looks of things, and I can't tell if this is true or not, you only put spires where you have an event or a place to go to. But remember, you can always put a spire there just for the hell of it, rather or not your character can jump to it. And also, instead of using the tile to paint the edges of the cave walls, go through and use the seperate tiles. Adds less squariness.

Here's the now fixed version! Huzzah! (http://rapidshare.de/files/8197397/Untitled_GameV02.zip.html)
Features-
-Goes up until you reach the arvil tavern
-Counterattack system tragically removed, but instead replaced with a charge attack system.
-Demo-end screen added!
-As shown in the screens, a bit more jumping involved, climbing down tunnels, and dodging falling boulders.
-Osdray now has another special skill, though you might not acheive it within the timespan of the demo.
Fixes-
-Fixed the run-bug
Questions that were asked; not very frequently, though, but worth mentioning-
Q: OMGWTFBBQ!!!!1 1 M00v Sl00! U suk!
A: Alright, calm down. To move faster, simply tap the shift key once to start running around!
Q: Hewwp! How do I use the charge system?
A: 1: only one character has the charge system. You might not have that character. Other than that, all you need to do is select the charge option from the battle menu, then wait a certain ammount of turns (By doing something other than attacking.) Then, when you feel like it's been long enough, attack, and a released attack will be launched at the selected enemy, dealing great damage!
Have fun!
Post by: DarkFlood2 on November 26, 2005, 05:16:41 PM
That would be good for like an are where you have to hide alot and it would stop people from trying to run away from every encounter possible.

Heh heh. I'm so proud of myself for thinking of that before I posted and complained _sweat_
The jumping thing is awsome, I love it when you fall. The tunnle thing was cool to, but right after you come out of it, your speed goes up to 4X and doesn't revert back. Looking good as ever!

It's probabily because you're using a stabbing weapon. He can only pull off splitter when he's using a weapon like a claymore or bastard sword; not a lance.
Don't wory fortet; the next version will give him a lance special attack as well.

Well, I have played the demo, and I think it's just great. The story is not too deep, whcih is what I look for in games, but your charcters make up for it. I like how each is set up. they are all very unigue and original. Not zombie like, which is great. ^^
Of course, the visuals are awesome. Great maps. Great sound effects. Pretty good music (stole a few XD), and great animations. I like the fact that the Hero is not a goody 2 shoes pretty boy.
Also, people say the game is hilarious. I can see you want people to take it seriously, and I do. But you do a great job with comic relief. XD Anyways, keep up the awesome work. I'll definetly be checking out this place more often. :D

New things:
-Slightly changed music (Most of it is actually in the intro)
-First Sidequest
-Belgare now has a special attack for stabbing weapons!
-Goes up until you reach the desertlands.
-Can't think of much else.
Screenies:
A small taste of the Desertlands (I really can't come up with a better name for it.)
A picture of the Bestiary.
A taste of the sidequest system.
More jumping on spires (I would of taken a picture of Osdray actually jumping down, but I couldn't press Alt Printscreen fast enough.)
Now you can climb!
I have no idea why I put this here.

funny this on the lines of talltails i been at the game for 2 years now as i keep finding new things to + to it
i got a shaman wolfpacks native hunters
and lots more
have you see the game the the brave on ps2
it,s on the same lines
Post by: Bluhman on December 13, 2005, 09:28:41 PM
Thanks alot Lonewolf; You've crushed my hopes and dreams forever. This game is obviously a lost cause and should be halted immediatley... I'll never be a great game maker... :( :( :(
("lost cause" meaning "pretty ok.")
("halted immediatley" meaning "slightly modified")
("never" meaning "some day")
Ok; seriously, lonewolf, It's very obvious you haven't even played my game yet. What I typed there was only the beginning of the game; and when it comes down to it, the wolves n' stuff are story elements, not gameplay elements of some game with a really ugly main character.
EDIT: Did some research on this "The brave" thing
The game follows the adventure of a young Native American boy named not surprisingly Brave. The early story to Brave sees the evil Wendigo which is a powerful shaman demon rip straight through Braves village. Brave then gets the tip that the only person that can help him restore peace is the greatest shaman that ever lived, Spirit Dancer. So in classic adventure fashion Brave promises a bit of revenge then sets off on his epic quest to become a great warrior.
Well aside from the last line, it really doesn't sound all that much like my game. At all.

Your windmill thing is pretty cool looking. I've been trying to do something like that with a two-sword effect and I keep failing miserbally. I know this isn't the right place to ask, but could you do something like that for me if I gave you the chara and the weapons?
Your titles are cool, and by the looks of the picture you've got a waver effect going. And, that background of the battle looks pretty good too. I gotta say, you've got a good tallent for making battle backgrounds.

The battle animator wouldn't be a problem, I use poses. But, I can understand if you do have the time. No hard feelings [STRIKE]I'm gonna rip you to shreads[/STRIKE] or nothing bout it :p

What's good about this game, is that even if some maps aren't good, it doesn't matter. the way your events play out are very enjoyable. Keep it up! :D

But, before you think I come empty handed, I present to you, on this early, early morning of the 27th of December...
0.4! (http://www.filefactory.com/get/f.php?f=09f575065475937c023cb111)
What's changed-
-Pina now has a special attack; Burning heat.
-A minor story branch included!
-Osdray's new windmill strike
-A few maps were embellished to, well, look better.
-There's a minigame involving Lerryndenunt. I'm not going to tell what the game involves though.
Eh, Not much else has changed. Just goes further. Screenies later today.

EDIT: O.o Over a two hour download!? This has to just be file factory...
EDIT 2: It's up to over three hours now. I guess I'll have to drop this download and try another time.

You must have not started the sidequest requiring the rope then... Heh.
You must be a bit baffled about how the game works. You could either do the aformented sidequest, or you could continue the main story by going back to Tomeche and speaking with him.

Couple of grammer errors though (other people might have mentioned them already though). Anyway, throughout the whole game, you spell went as wen't, there shouldn't be an ' in the word. Oh, and when you're talking to the shamen he says" I wan't to be remembered as teh ranger that one every battle" one should be won, and of course wen't should be went. Oh, and the title is called Wolfs Gaze? I think its supposed to be Wolf's Gaze. The 's shows possetion, so if the gaze belongs to (or is from) the wolf, then there should be a ' in the title. Err I just noticed that your game topic is called wolf's gaze, but in the game where it shows the title there isn't a '.
Anyway, cool music, good gfx, great story so far :)
Err one more thing quick. You start at lvl 6 right? You need 4000 or so exp to get a level or something like that. But you only get somewhere around 20 (I forgot the exact number) at the beggining of the game. Thus it's gonna take FOREVER just to get one level up! Maybe you meant it to be this way, but I suggest giving the monsters a bit more experiance so you don't have to go walking around and kill 200 enemies for your first level up. Maybe you can make it like that a little later in the game ;)

Trust me, you're going to be getting 1000 or so XP for finishing certain quests. I was kinda thinking about Baldurs Gate when making this game, remembering how you got only 16 EXP for every enemy you killed but needing 1000 just to get to level 2. Also, for quests in the beginnig, you got about 100 EXP for quests finished... Or was it 1000? Can't remember. I guess you're right. EXP Values for enemies are going up.
Oh yeah... about the grammar on the title, See that weird gap between the F and S? There was supposed to be an apostraphe there, but I guess it just dissapeared... Hm.

Thought "Die like a dog" was a bit odd of a statement to make at a time lika that.
After a bit of research, discovering that they weren't pentagrams, but just "stars", I decided I'd just change it to symbols.
Probably the only one that's showcasing correct spelling, Osdray used to say "Trophee" instead of Trophy.
Lerryndenunts new excuse for why he's in the mountains.

Uploading right now, it's at 41 percent at the moment. Anyway, while you're sleeping in your cozy beds, here's 3 shots for you to look at.
Lamenting over Cats.
The new character, Rinel, using Fireknife
New bosses.
Ok, after that, uploading percentage has reached 67 percent. Expect a link soon!
EDIT: I said to expect a link soon.
http://rapidshare.de/files/25713647/WG05.zip.html
NEW FEATURES:
Goes up until the end of floor 1 in Dagon Lair
New Character-Rinel. Probably the first optional character as well.
Title screen music changed. Now in MP3 format, but the same song!
A New City.
Enemies are a bit harder
There's some easter eggs! Most require usage of Ctrl, though. Try doors you can't reach and places you can't reach.
That's... About... it.

RTP Panorama indeed.

I like your use of pokemon graphics for that monster (Regirock)
Well, that was a quick sighting. I used it because that was the only golem sprite with 2 different frames I could find and didn't look too cartoony for it's own good (Like a golem from some obscure platformer or something.)

uhhh.... lol
okay
For grammar: sometimes you spelled want as wan't. Kinda odd, and I can't remember other things... but I'm sure there were a few. Nothing really mind numbing like "OMG, It's Teh Bloodmnoo~!:`1". So that's good.
For Map Transitions: Such as in Mixan, leaving the town. The teleport event is just kinda, there. Same with the mountain and a few other places. Hard to explain what I mean.
Sorry for the lack of specifics. But I'll see it when I play it again tomorrow or something.

However, I had also started a new save to see the changes you made, but I ran into a problem. Upon entering the mountains, I got no chance to go back to Daeltoth to rest and save, and previously I wasn't able to leave. So I checked if you'd changed it, which you did, but I once I reentered Daeltoth, I couldn't leave. :( There were no events to teleport me out of town.
I'll let you know about the rest when I'm done.
EDIT: Ok I beat the Stone Men, but then fell down a pit in the next part and had to start all the way back at the inn, which kind of turned me off to playing it again for a while. I think it's kind of frustrating not to have a savepoint there after going through that whole thing. Just a suggestion. :| Other than that I'm still really enjoying this. It's nice to see big maps that are mapped well and have so many places to explore. I also like some of your comical lines that are just thrown in there even in serious situations, especially the ones from the enemies. I also like the way you made Rinel optional. Of course I ended up getting him, being a rulebreaker and all. ;)

Yeah, right after the release I added in two savepoints; one before the stonemen, and another before the final boss in the demo. Of course, you can go all the way back to the Inn in town and save there.
As for the Highlands problem... I don't know!
EDIT: I'm also extremely glad to hear that the stonemen are beatable.

I haven't finished the game. You use too much RTP. I have a different version than you so I have to convert battle animations, chipsets, and charasets myself. I'll review it. Not very in-depth or anything.
I'll review it like this. I'll have 5 parts, story, graphics, sound, music, and gameplay. They'll go out of 10. Then I'll just average them together.
Story: I like the concept of the storyline, and I woudld like to see where it would go. I didn't really like the main character, but that won't change the score. Though, there were some parts that just seemed wierd like the slime epidemic only affecting one house.I also didn't like the dialogue. It was borderline between modern talk, and proper english. There were some grammar problems too. One good thing though, It was REALLY, REALLY FUNNY. (8/10)
Graphics: I'll be nice here. I don't like Mac & Blue personally, and I see it and a lot of the graphics you used in other games. Still, your game had perfect consistency. The maps were really empty. Some parts hurt my eyes. The mapping could have been much better. However, the battle graphics for the specials were very well done. They inspired me to work on my graphics more. (8.5/10)
Music: The music fit each scene well. Nothing special or memorable, but it did it's job. (8/10)
Sound: This is a low point. You used a lot of original sound effects which is good, but most of them were annoying. The sound effects for the weapons were impressive and dead on, but the magic sound effects and the sounds for the fat guy hurt my ears. This happened with and without headphones. Also, there wasn't really any sound out of battle. I think you only had wind for the mountain and that was it.(5.5/10)
Gameplay: Standard. I haven't gone far enough to reach any minigames or puzzles. The battle system wasn't anything done before. I'll leave this section blank for now. (N/A)
Final Notes: You had some well thought out towns, but I would have liked to see more houses and stuff. The snakes were awesome and scared the hell out of me when they suddenly slithered fast like real snakes. The people in them were somewhat believable. The wolves could've used some more speed. I could easily out maneuver them. I really like your battle animations. I did'nt like the sound effects. The mapping could use more detail. The battle system needs an extras.
Averaged score: (Not including gameplay) 7.5/10.
My opinion.

Each time you jump one of them pits that require reflexes, you're going to have even less time to jump next time you encounter such a pit. To fix this problem, press F9, find the variable named "Time", and set it to zero.
