hey all hows it going im pretty new to this stuff but i was wondering if you liked my idea for my new game. I have started on a game ( its in a Working Title ) It starts out with you as Leif at this time he is about 7 and is out hunting with his dad. This is where you will learn the basics about hunting and the battle system. After the basics Leifs Dad hears a large Growl and tells his son to go back to the house and he will meet his there and goes off to hunt down a monster but as you are going home you find a dagger and think you can handle the monster with your dad and run off to fight with him. But once you find him he is surrounded by the monster Leif becomes full of anger and Transforms in to a Demon called Fiel leifs inner spirit and you defeat the monster. thats the first time you had ever become Fiel because of your transformation you run into the forest and that starts the game with your stuggle with this monster inside of you and the stroy behind it. I havent revield the real plot yet but it has a mojor twist in the end but i was just wondering if you liked the idea thanks alot for reading and hope you like it im attaching the sprites for Leif, Feil, Little Leif, Liefs father, and Blitzer on of the friends you meet so yeah give my and criticisims you like im open to anything
-
from left to right Little Leif, Leif, Blitzer, Fiel, Leifs Father
-
Its not bad :)
I think that wolf dude looks sweet.
Question: why is the hero's dad so much taller than everyone else? The hero isn't 7 the whole game is he?
-
no hes not 7 the whole time but his dad is just a tall sprtie the reason they look small is because i had to change there sizes for the line up from there sprite sheets so little Leif is alot smaller than normal leif but i jut looks like there the same ill shw you screens if you want to see the real sizes
-
It only has 2 posts. To the people who read and leave I hate you.
I like this. It's not really a cliche storyline. It's intresting with room for character development. You have a set goal, and you did not give away the villain which is a +. Good luck on this.
I'd post more in paragraphs. It's a little hard to read, and it makes me kind of think the in-game dialogue will be hard to read.

Well if you have any actual screens of the game, it'd be a good idea to post them up, but I don't need any screens just to tell the sprites sizes. I really think you should use a differant sprite for his dad though because its not in the same style as the rest of the sprites, if you use a tall sprite in with rtp sized sprites, it'll look bad.
-
ok well i am a big noob i forgot how to tke screen shots oops well if some one could help me that would be great
-
nvm on the how to question but here is one screen the map kind of sucks i havent worked on it to hard i was just tesing
-
here is Leifs father in a new style you tell me which one you like better
-
I like the new style a lot better :)
And if that map is just a test map, then I'm not going to bother giving critisism on it becuase its not even a real map :p
-
thanks but what would you say is wrong just so i can still get some thing out of it and i forgot a character later on you meet a retired Dragoon and i need some help with his Battle Char his nme is Latchit
-
He actually looks like a father. o.O, that's kind of hard to do for a sprite that size. Good job.
Oh, and for screenshots here's what you do. It was hard for me.
On your keyboard, there should be a button around your big Enter button called "Print Screen."
Play your game at Full Screen, press Print Screen. It'll take the screenshot like a copy/paste picture.
Next you Paste it into an image program. Paint works, but if you want a nice free one, go to
www.ultimatepaint.com
Once your screenshot is good and saved, get an image account at an image website. Imageshack and Photobucket are really nice. They should have tutorials on how to upload your pics, and how to put them in Message Boards like this place.
I hope that helped. :)
-
The test map is nice, but in the real map you should add different shades of grass and make the cliff look a bit less rectangularish. Good job, though. I like the small streams.
-
well i came up with a name for my gave its now Called
Inner Spirits
The Fable
it might not make sense now but it is explained in the game so yeah hope you like if you dont let me know
-
Seems nice, I just think you should make up a better name for the demon form than just Leif backwards.
-
yeah well if anyone has any sugestions tell me for anything that would be great and if anyone knows how to make a jump ability for my lancer how would i do that and thanks for all your thoughts
-
In future reference, please break your stories into paragraphs. I couldn't even finish the story because I never had a chance to stop and rewind. Also, the intro is pretty original (by my n00b standards), so there's +1 Goodness for your game.
However, if you're going make him pick something up, you have to either make sure that he finds it after a certain number of steps, or that there is a fixed path that he has to take in the beginning. Just some tips to help ya out.
-
Whoa...
This makes me wanna quit my own work on my own game (which has been forggoten.) and help you.
Great story. Woderful. Hard to read. The scene is wierd. The charecters are obviously generated and it seems like they clash with eachother from head to toe (pixle head to pixle toe?).
Anyway, great story. I'll be supporting this one all the way.
-
thanks so much everyone im realy going to try and get tihis one to work hope you will like
-
If you can prove to me that this will go somewhere, I'll give you a code for the jump ability.
-
For help with names, storylines, and such:

ok so how would i go about proving myself?
because i need that jump ability
-
Start you game and put up screenshots of you game in action. Do mock-ups for any custom systems you might have, tell us what you WILL have in the game.
All of that will prove that the game will go somewhere.
-
well im planning on having a catipiller system if i can find on that works. Im going to have a music skill that can be used by blitzer simmiler to the orcarina of time. ( that will change weather day and night and seasons) Planing on having a season system. A jump system. Steal system. Mime system if i can figure it out. And some other stuff cant think of anything else at the moment and for screens ill post a coulple im using for practice.
-
so heres some screen one is in the Dragoon Crypt andthe other is a battle
-
Crypt
-
and heres a screeen of latchit
-
I got my day and night system to work :) im so happy :).
-
i made some sprite edits for leif that show some emotion they are sadness, love, nervous, and shocked
-
For that just do what a tutorial says for one chatarter and add that coding again for the other characters. Note that some parts may need alittle changing. Try blade2k.net for some tuts also.
Ohh and as for screenshots load them up on photobucket and copy the code on to one post, just so you don't need to make alot of posts.
Yours maps also seem abit open. Go to the tutorial page and look for Meiscool's tut on map making, that will help you.
