It could even be something non-game related like songs, films, comics. Please don't move this thread. Try to create a little snippet of information pertaining to what you are working on. Post your progress on it too. One rule though, do NOT criticize anything in this thread. You can ask questions about it
-Final Fantasy Reminiscence-
Features
Custom Menu System
Custom Battle System
-Turn Based

Isometric Movement
Isometric 3D Graphics With Changing Perspectives
Both a Midi and an MP3 version.
I've put a lot of work into creating a deep and authentic Final Fantasy experience. My game has a theme just as the real Final Fantasy games do.
I'm still working on the graphics, but so far they are coming out beautifully. The textures will be high definition, and recolored to match one art style. So far they look VERY pretty. There will also be motion bluring, and several unbelieveable animations and effects.
Progress: I've at least managed to finish the story and I'm VERY proud of it. If you've ever looked at Final Fantasy Compendium, its initial setup is like that. It also has 20 pages of dialouge. I like it. I've also been working on a lot of sprites and sprite rips for the game. They initially come from a game called Black Matrix Zero. Both soundtracks to the game are pretty much complete. I picked the Midi soundtrack first because I care about Dial-Up users the most.
Here is my screenshot of the menu. I like to try to do fancy stuff, which is hard because I don't have professional programs. The colors to the right will eventually become little spinning lights. Yep, the menu's based off of FF12.

So a good friend of mine said that he was going to redo his fantasy he began like three years ago. He wrote it in Swedish and our language really lacks words and such that I feel is neccessary to be able to write it good.
And he asked me for help over and over, he tries to hard and want it all to be perfect from the start but he doesn't think past the moment that he writes about and usually gets stuck really.
So when I went away on my vacation I was thinking about how much easier it was just to think about it while writing, so I did.
My english is quite good but I managed to do some misstakes like writing lounge instead of lunge and calling the scabbard a sheath. Today it's about 300 ordinary word pages, nothing special but I'm just not running out of ideas for the story or characters.
The "book" itself is based on a novel I wrote in school once, the protagonist being a street wise kid namned Fred who gets a second chance in life by joining a organization calling themselves the Rebirth. Fred is from the land Krodja that mailnly consists of humans as himself and is known for their internal wars and lust for power, as he join the Rebirth he travels through the world of Ditremor to assist the other members of the organization as well.
The Rebirth is led by an old sorrcerer called Dargam who more or less teaches Fred all he knows as Fred climb the ranks in the organization. During this time Fred accepts a rite of passage to earn his keep and grants the Rebirth just what Dargam wanted.
But as the Rebirth prosper so does it's knowledge and along the younger ranks of the members a revolution is starting to bring the old members down in order to take the control and use the power to really rise to power as they were promised all along.
Fred remain loyal to Dargam and leaves the Rebirth just as the gates are smashed by the mob.
About a month later Fred decides to go back out from hiding and search out a way to bring vengence to Dargam and the other members who became the only familly he ever had.
In the same time, the Rebirth begins to be defined as a cult as the new leaders decide to use the powers and knowledge to create an army of elementals to fight for their cause.
Another cult called the Nefarious are able to salvage the arts of long forgotten necromancy as well and the both cults bursts out in a conflict of supremecy.
Along these conditions people are seeking faith and someone to blame. The blame is put on the demons and an organization called the Hailfire are evolving fighting with the use of the demon's very own powers.
As Fred makes it back into the world he finds it sinking into chaos slow but steadily. He tries to do everything on his own but is dragged into the wars sooner than he wished to.
Fred is driven forward by a hatred for the two people who stood by his side but betrayed his and Dargam's trust for power. But he realises that he alone can not do enough to bring any of them down, in a desperate search for power he finds out how much more is moving around as all of the knowledge he was taught comes to use.
It's kinda hard to explain really, I got my notes and my characters but putting them here would feel odd somehow.
Everyone got goals in their lives, that's all they can do, as the enemies of enemies becomes allies but then enemies themselves as their thoughts and oppinions just doesn't combine. As the people rises to power to grant their people the rights they deserve, as the seeds planted by the gods of old finally grows into its place, as the dimensions sealed away so long ago opens up all at once and allows the magical powers of the arcane surround the planet itself. The chaos erupts and people is begining to slide apart, old alliances breaks as new leaders get the control, influence of the cults themself affect the govermetn and a demon lord who simply awaits the right moment to launch his attack.
Ditremor is heading into a new era, one of chaos and destruction.
And so it is done, you get loads of text instead of a screenshot. Always turns out like this, me writing more than I would have to.
Btw, aboutasoandthis are you using rpgm2k3 or xp? I didn't know that you could use 3d pics in 2k3 at least.

2k3. I guess I should say pre-rendered backgrounds or something, but It is possible to get a motion blur movie effect if you know how to string the shots together.

I have custom charsets and facesets for the two NPCs of no importance that appear in the intro, and a chipset for the scene, but that's about it.
I've also been thinking about the story, what it will be like. I know how it will begins, and a few pieces of story here and there, but that's about it. I need to link all the events that will take place. Once I'm finished with the intro sequence I don't know exactly what to add next. Compose some MIDIs with Anvil Studio, mayhaps.

I'm also trying to work on a novel about a society where a subset of people are used as tools and then disposed of. It's one of the darker things I've ever concocted, not in "Oh look, somebody died! Sob!", but just implications raised with the themes. Maybe I'll post some. Maybe not. I don't know.

Reminds me of the short story I wrote, forgot where I put the notebook, where men kidnap homeless off the street and take their eyes, ears, noses, skin, hair, and drop them back and pay them in liqour. That kind of dark?

You got to create a tutorial about that or soemthing. It would be awsome if I managed to make something like that.

Legend of the Hero I and II two rpgs in a series related to a story I am writing. Basically LOTH I is a story arc so it won't make too much sence. LOTH II is a brand new story.
Kirby: The RPG!
I have no pics since I am not in the mood to be showing pictures of my not mic-quality maps.
Right now I am working on more skills and abilities and weapons for the party members and their classes.
Basically I am all over the place. As I contunue to test play I find more and more things I don't like and I have to fix everything again and again. I also have to add better dialogue to the game.
Writings:
Legend of The Hero parts I-V
This is the storyline the RPGs are based on.
I can't tell you anything about this series because for fear of material being stolen since this story is for real as a true work of fiction and not some hobby like the RPGs which I am only making for my friends.

I'm not gonna actually make a full game out of it, that takes too much work. I'm just gonna release a demo system with 2 simple songs ("Mary Had a Little Lamb" is one of them so far) and just leave it at that for people to use my system if they wish.

Bleh. I'll explain it fully when I release it. Might be awhile, cause I'm busy in the real world, but it only took me a few hours to sit down and get a full song coded from nothing, so....

I have the basics for the society laid out, and am currently smacking and destroying kinks in the system, as well as weaving the rest of the plot for the main character. The idea isn't the dark part; I'm just hoping to set more of a mood with the writing than I usually do.
AFL.... I'm just gonna say that it looks musical. *goes crosseyed trying to read music, falls over twitching*
Post by: aboutasoandthis on August 04, 2007, 11:03:19 PM
Phayre: I have a somewhat similar idea in my storyline, and I'm good at making societies. Hit me up if you ever need a second opinion.

Thats a really great storyline btw Phayre. Stop twitching. Its creeping me out. *twitches at sight of Phayre twitching*
REPOST: Well, figured I'd post this. I'm working on some drill sets for my The Ghosts of Heart Lake Arrangement I'm doing. (I got permssion from drenrin!) This is Set 1. The band will hold this from for 3 beats, then move. I don't have the colorguard in yet. But I made the band people all by myself! I like how my drums turned out. Anyway, I guess I'll attach it.
The songs I have done are in my midi thread.

De Legende van Ertar (The Legend of Ertar)
Originally this will just be a Dutch novell, in which I try to create a teen-lit (literature specifically written for teens), but I might translate it in English. It was based on an RPG Maker project I was going to create, and thus will have many RPG elements in it, story-wise. For example, the story begins without introduction of the main characters, and it starts with a sleeping main character.
The story is set in Ertar, a planet on which two types of creatures live: the spirets, the main group of creatures, which vary from animals to humanoids, and ruvis, scaled creatures who feed off the energy of Ertar and kill spirets just to get their energy.
However, this story is not about spirets versus ruvis, although these ruvis play an important part in the story, as the main obstacle, but also a way to bring drama into the story.
I'm planning to actually publish this story, so fingers crossed.
Project fantasy
This will be a project which incorporates fantasy creatures and such. It will be a novell, and it will be written for my mother, who loves fantasy creatures. I might publish it, or just write the book and buy one copy of it for my mother. I'm not sure of what the story is all about.
The main plot so far is that a guy named Calvin is sent back in time with a team to find a cure against a disease, all before the "Planetary Shift" in which the cure gets destroyed permanently. Problem is, the time machine can only bring them back one year before this shift, and what's more, around that time the big Machine War is starting, a time where dragons nearly get extinct, and where the fate of magic and technology is unknown. Will Calvin find the cure without changing the course of history?
YummyPoetry
It's a song I've written in 2005. The song is actually done, I only need a videoclip. This videoclip will be done in Elite Beat Agents style, and will be done in Flash.
The main plot of the videoclip is that Jonathan Explorer gets the task of taking the Yummycakes out of the oven before they get burnt, or else the prezident is toast. Unfortunately Jonathan falls to sleep. Now he has to bake new ones before his friend Zictor gets back.
You can hear the song here (http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=615652).
Always Drink Your Milk
It's a song I've been writing for a long time now, but it still needs to be recorded. I've also planned the videoclip, and I also know where to film it. I'm hoping on a sponsorship from Campina, a company which deals with products like milk and such.
Nin-Ten-Do
This is also a song yet to be recorded. It will use the Punch-Out password tune, and will be one big fan song for Nintendo. I just need to write the fast-paced bridge at the end of the song, and then the music arrangement can begin.
Like A Yoshi
This song only has the first part. I can't really tell much about it, mainly because I have so little, but it's a Yoshi tribute song. I hope I can get Fjejory Plexco (http://youtube.com/watch?v=f_rAm7cYgNQ) to do a rap part for the song.
Song of Storms
One of the two songs where it's unlikely that I would ever sing it. It's a sort of metal version of the Song of Storms, which starts with a renderition of the original version (with ocarina, and the organ), but continues with overdrives and drums. Finally it ends with the renderition of the original version. I already got a great part of the text.
(Music on) Rainbow Road
This one is a fan song of mainly the first Rainbow Road. I have a disco setting for the music, so I really need that disco sound as a voice. So, it's unlikely for me to ever do this song. However, I have the full text of it.
Two Days Ago
Based on the original, I've planned this song for a long time now. It will mainly be rap, but will include samples from the original. Nothing much to tell about again.
I Know How You Feel
One of two Charas songs I'm going to record sooner or later. Hopefully I will get to it. I hope some still remember this song. You can find the original here (http://www.multiverseworks.com/INHUF.zip), although I've improved the lyrics a lot to make it sound better.
I Believe That I Believe
The second Charas song I've written, even though I've never let anyone know about this project. I might just show you this project.
Project Captain N: The Future Quests
It's a Flash project I've been working on for ages, but I really need help on this. Any help, actually, from story writing and the script to spriting, animating and even voice acting.
Here (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/390306) is the link to the discontinued original. You can find more information on the Project Captain N forums though (the link can be found in the animation), or you could pay a visit to the CaptainN.net (http://www.captainn.net) forums.
Remember, any help with this project would be nice. And, if Charas can help with this project, I will put Charas in as one of the participating sites. So please, come and join in!

RPG 2000
Hunters:
It's still VERY early in, (me and my brother are still working on the story...) and there's still alot I've got to do before I can even start making it with RM2000. Don't expect to see anything about it for awhile.
Zelda Classic
Legends of Romia II: Mistress of the Wind:
Started this around the beginning of the summer, but is going very sluggishly. I hope to have a demo of it out before christmas, but there's no gurantee. It'll feature 9 levels, many secret dungeons, and sidequests. I hope to make some use of newer features that ZC has to offer. Still working on the Royal Kingdom, and the Romia Mainland. (There's more about it on my site. The link is in my sig.)
Eclipse:
A little project I started around the beggining of the month. It's a small quest that'll only feature 7 levels. The main focus on this is puzzles. I'm making this on an older version, for stability. Each level features a different style of puzzle. Currently working on level 2.
