Title: Legend
Post by: crossfire on November 24, 2005, 04:02:03 AM: Is there already a game called Legend? I know 'bout Legend of Zelda, but Legend? Anyways, I'm using RPG Maker 2000 to make this one, so don't expect too much of it. It's still in the making, but I'm gonna put a demo on here soon. Please test it and tell me of any defects or mistakes.

Thanks

Post by: Bluhman on November 24, 2005, 04:38:26 PM: Eh; it's acceptable. That about it. I've definetley seen worse, but this is.... just Ok... Use the pen tool more and try and use sense in your mapping; don't make impassable logs and stumps a person could just jump over, and use the rectangle tool less.

Post by: Archem on November 24, 2005, 04:56:32 PM: Wow... So overly judgemental... I thought it look-ed aprettypretty good... But, yeah... A little bland at parts... I think I shall try the demo and see if it be any good...

Post by: Robotam on November 24, 2005, 05:11:10 PM: Graphics and map making isn't top, but it still looks quite decent.

Post by: Moosetroop11 on November 24, 2005, 07:29:01 PM: Fair. The screens are better than I expected.
Title: Legend
Post by: crossfire on November 24, 2005, 07:30:31 PM: By the way, after this game, I'm gonna make Legend 2, which I will make with RPG Maker 2003. That's one of the reasons why I'm not putting too much effort into making this first game totally perfect: So that people will want an upgrade and try out the second one.

Post by: Bluhman on November 24, 2005, 09:03:36 PM: Both of the setup files so don't work!
Title: Legend
Post by: crossfire on November 24, 2005, 09:14:46 PM: Here's an updated demo (note: you might have to delete all old files for this to be updated). Make sure you also download the file in the next post into the same file.
Title: Legend
Post by: crossfire on November 24, 2005, 09:35:44 PM: Ok, Bluhman, I've figured it out. You also need this file in the same folder as the previous one:

Post by: DragonBlaze on November 24, 2005, 10:51:34 PM: Only thing I have to really say is that you shouldn't use that Barret face, pretty much everyone recognizes it from FF7, so you should probably find a differant one.

Your game looks ok right now, it looks like your still improving on your rpg maker skills though, which isn't a bad thing :) . I'll bet the maps and such will continue to look better and better as you work on the game.

Post by: Leon_1990 on November 24, 2005, 10:54:34 PM: Longbow...ouch...the demise Sir Wallace's Military career.

Decent screens, but nothing special I'm afraid. Just like DB said, you need to get rid of the barret face.

Post by: crossfire on November 25, 2005, 12:03:13 AM: I have never played any FF games, so please tell me what "the barret face" is.

Post by: crossfire on November 25, 2005, 12:56:32 AM: Is anyone good at making Facesets? Can you please make me a face to replace the barret face?

Post by: ZeroKirbyX on November 25, 2005, 06:45:44 AM: Just a word of advice, you may want to edit your first post to cantain all bios, stories, etc.

Post by: crossfire on November 25, 2005, 06:47:12 AM: Thanks, ZeroKirbyX, I'll do that.

Here they are:

setup.exe (http://charas-project.net/forum/download_file.php?id=19193)
setup.ini (http://charas-project.net/forum/download_file.php?id=19195)

Post by: coasterkrazy on November 25, 2005, 07:39:29 PM: Downloading both files into the same folder didn't work for me. It might be better if you just zip the game directory and host it on www.rapidshare.de

Legend Demo (http://rapidshare.de/files/8171408/Legend.lzh.html)

Post by: Bluhman on November 26, 2005, 07:35:26 AM: This...

Is...

Ridiculous.

First question: WHY THE HECK DO YOU SLOW DOWN WHENEVER YOU EXIT A BUILDING!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Why you did this is just baffling. You crawl around at an insanley slow pace after you exit and enter about 2 or 3 buildings.

Second: The dialogue is just silly.

"Good morning..."

"Let's go!"

"Great. You're all set.....

We'll miss you...

Valeo

and Aquilus."

So yeah. Tons of unneccesary pauses.

3: Difficulty.

Yeah. You have NO idea where you're supposed to go in the beginning. No direction. I ended up on the world map, fighting slimes, barley managing to get by thanks to the tragic lack of any sort of weapon or armor. After a look in the game, I discovered I was supposed to go into a woods that I didn't know existed and get some logs for a blacksmith whose stores walls are lined with stoves with teapots on top, and looks suspiciously like FF7 barret. (And then transformed into Zappa from Chrono cross... THE EFF to the KAY!?)

So... yeah. You're game isn't that good. The mapping was more impressive than I first thought it to be, but the game is not good.
Title:
Post by: crossfire on November 26, 2005, 07:24:45 PM: To answer the slow pace question, in order to make the landscape seem larger, I made the movement slower. But I can remove that if you wish.
Title:
Post by: crossfire on November 26, 2005, 07:30:17 PM: As for the whole forest and log no clue thing, I'm working on it.
Title:
Post by: coasterkrazy on November 26, 2005, 07:31:24 PM: It won't let me play it. I guess it's because I don't have the RM2K RTP.
Title:
Post by: DanielTownsend on December 03, 2005, 04:56:40 PM: This game looks and sounds really good, when do you think you'll finish it.
Title:
Post by: crossfire on December 05, 2005, 04:29:32 AM: Thanks, DanielTownsend, im planning to be finished with the first Legend game sometime next summer ('06). Then, I'll make a sequel using RPG Maker 2003.
Title:
Post by: Ben on December 05, 2005, 04:42:45 AM: Havent downloaded it yet......

Are you Happy with The RTP facesets? Are you planning on getting some custom art thrown in there?

I will download it when my limewire isnt so loaded
Title:
Post by: crossfire on December 06, 2005, 04:20:13 AM: Glad you mentioned it, gemini, I actually need a faceset for a blacksmith. If you can supply that plus any other custom graphics, I'll be sure to give you credit.

Post by: crossfire on December 18, 2005, 07:58:32 PM: Legend Demo 1.1 should be ready soon...as soon as i can get a replacement for that barrett face!!!

Post by: crossfire on January 21, 2006, 11:01:58 PM: Thank you Bluhman! Ok the latest demo is out. I'm expecting the next one to come out sometime next week. I have improved my mapping skills by a ton!!! It's not just updated from last time, it lets you go further into the game! Replies would be nice...
Title:
Post by: drenrin2120 on January 21, 2006, 11:51:27 PM: Well, there's notm uch to reply on. Maybe some screenshots of your improved maps? Or just screenshots of anything from your new demo would be nice.

Post by: Meiscool-2 on January 22, 2006, 02:40:27 AM: What he said.

And.... quit deleted your last post then reposting the exact same thing just to kick or bump your game. If people don't post on it, that means they don't like it, and you kicking it isn't going to change that fact. Now, if you post new info or something, that's a different thing...... but not copying a post, deleting it, and then reposting the same crap.

Post by: crossfire on February 08, 2006, 03:20:47 AM: Fine, some progress on the game can be found at http://valituruscross.theicy.net . Just follow the links near the top.
