I'm sick of making maps for nothing, so I'm going to make something out of it now.
Last time I got stuck because I honestly didn't like how the game started, it wasn't even fun making it. So this time there's a few changes, or I guess you could say a lot of changes.
But I always keep the basic storyline and that you should know.
The CBS will still be made if I still have Dragonblaze on my team, but until it's all complete I'll use the DBS which also can look pretty cool if you design it the right way.
I'd also like to say to everyone who helped on this project, your stuff is still in it. Whether it's a bunny-man song or a robin hood sprite, it's still in it.
I'm going to have to see with my crew if they still want to help me out on this...
And if you want to help with anything and feel like you can, please tell me. This is not my game, it's a game I share with everyone who helps or helped out. ^_^'
I'll give you some eye candy too, the first village in the game.
It's got everything from a jacuzzi pool to an oil crater! It's not complete yet though, I'm just showing it to you because it's turning out good. See attachment!
On a note, I will be keeping most of my actions a secret. But you will still see a lot of screen shots in this beautiful topic.

;) I was working on it just last night :) Well actually I was working on my 'customizable cbs', but I could easily make your battle system out of it once its done. So yeah, expect it soon :D

I'm a lot better at battle themes now, so I can write you a new one if you want.
Looky, looky.. My team! ^_^'
That's far the greatest news today, DB. Take your time with the system, and if you need any missing graphics or such, then I shouldn't be too hard to find.
And coaster, if you say you're better.. mind if I test your abilities a little? `XP
Thank you both, glad to have you back.
And thanks everyone else for the nice compliments.

No, problem. :) So a new one it is, then?
EDIT: Oh, yeah I completed a new big boss battle theme recently that no one has used yet. It's in my MIDI gallery if you want to take a look.

That depends on the chipset. If you'll notice, the rocks keep going, but he makes them a transparent event so that it looks like the water is covering it. Doesn't work with all chips though, and I'd have to see it in game if it looks good with that chip or looks outta place.

Sorry, I completely forgot.. I just finished it really quick so you might find some glitches and that the tree does not look exellent.
Here it is.

Your maps are good, but a little cluttered, in my opinion.
Yeah, a lot of people say they are cluttered. But see, that's how I like them. `XP
I can't take two seconds knowing that just by putting a bit more details in a place it'll look better, cuz that's really what I think.
A charm with maps is by having places in them you can't go to, it's just there as candy to the eye. I have many places like that in these maps.
Thanks everyone for your comments. Including the earliear ones I never saw. And no, Nandez.. Spearhawk does not exist anymore.

You'll notice that the font which was already terrible, looks even worse. You don't need to comment on that, because I'm aware. Anyway, this is just a very early free look on the game. I wanted to give you something else than just screenshots all the time.
So here's one of my favorite clips in the game so far:

Oh, yes, good map.

Can I do any MIDI work for this? (if needed that is. I'm quite certain that somebody else is already helping.)
I'd be an idiot if I said no to someone who's offering a helping hand. Of course you can help.
I'm already having coasterkrazy doing midis, though I haven't spoken to him about that in a while now.
Two midi makers is perfect. Welcome to the team, bud!
And while I'm at it, here's yet another map.

Great, you can request some work whenever needed. I'll only do it when asked, so it's better to keep that in mind.
Post by: Robotam on April 20, 2006, 11:00:49 AM
And for real this time. I'm going to start requesting things from you midi makers very soon, so prepare yourselfes. :P
I'd also like to say I'm in great need of someone who can make poses for my REF-map characters. If you would like to help contact me as fast as you can.
I'm going to give out a lot of information on the battle system as well as the story really soon. Laterz.

All map makers have there own ways of stopping that. I, for example, put events there that the NPCs can't walk over, but you can, so that they don't get you stuck someplace. This way, they are placed only in wide-open areas.
