Actually, Red, a chain game can't be done unless there is either one of two things done:
1. The database is not used at all, and as such, no battles can take place, nor can any battle animations, Or basically anything involving the default systems.
OR:
2. You give us a set database in an RPG file folder, which has all the items, characters, enemies, and animations we'll need. Unlikely, since you'd need a LOT of stuff for everyone to use.
As for what you're doing, you're trying to combine different databases and stuff into a single game, I assume. That is a HUGE Undertaking that you're probably not ready for, but if you can do it, then huge kudos to you, man.

GamingWorld is doing a chain game? That's... not good. Hm.

You do know they've got like five finished right?
-
Hmm... I'm interested, but as Bluhman said, you'd have to set that up. If you can do that, I'll join.
-
Unless there is an 11th person who can go in there and make the animations/battles once the game is finished. I believe that would in fact be the easier part of it all.
-
Wait, wait, wait ... If you zip the whole project folder and send it to the next guy can't he add the stuff he need to the database?
And I thought we would go with alot of rtp, I mean it's not going to be a big fancy games. It's just suppos to be a fun little project.
-
Oh... Well, If you did that, I think it could be possible.... Hm..
Sure. I'll sign up for a part. I'll see how it all carries out.
-
I'll give it a shot too.
I'm also doing the Alex and Carol "map" game
on GamingW.
(Do you pick what Chapter we do?
Could I do the ending? :D)
-
Sure, I'll help out. I can do a chapter and also do music for the whole game.
-
Great ^^ then I start working on the first chapter. Vidian the ending is yours.
-
I got that part covered for now but feel free to add some of yours when it's your turn.
-
Um... you forgot me. :(
But I wanted to do Chapter 5 anyway. :)
-
Sign my *** up. I'm game.
-
Flippin right, I got dibs on 9 if possible.
-
Sorry coz, your name is on the list now and dren 9 is yours.
-
I think... I want 8.
-
If theres still a spot open, I'll take it :)
-
Great, then all spots are taken now.
Going to try to get "chapter 1" done tomorrow.
-
Just one question, is this a strictly serious or strictly comedy game? Or can we do whatever we want?
-

Whatever you want.
-
I'm definitely throwing my own music into a chapter, even if it must be MIDIs blah. I might make my own version of the game and convert every song to MP3. :p I wouldn't pass that version on though.
-
Okey, Im done with chapter 1 now and have sent it to bluhman so he can make his chapter.
The chain has started!
-
Haha. Expect Roy, ZKX, and a TON of Mega Man music.
-
Can't wait.
Anyway I forgot to write this before, when you are done with your chapter so post in the thread so we can keep track on whos working on the chain.
-
Chapter II complete. I'm now gonna send the chain game to Cool Zidane.... Who I really hope is still around here.
-
Great, if Zid ain't here we will need to find somebody else to take his place.
-
I just finished downloading it.
-
lol, I'll go on the waiting list, or in otherwords take someone's place if they are too busy to do it themselves.
-
All right. I've finished my chapter (it's pretty short), and I'm uploading it now.
-
Great! Then your next Lucas.
SC3k I'll put you in a "Stand-in" list.
-
You break my heart lucas. You don't have to finish it the same day you get it but if you don't want to do it I give your spot to SC.
-
I'll gladly do it if you don't want to, but if you do, then I'll hold off.
-
Yeah it's yours SC, send a pm to Zidane and ask him for the donwload link.
-
Sorry about the delay guys, but RPG Maker was acting up, it wouldn't read the games when I tried to test them. However, I'm back on track now, and I should have the download up sometime tommorow. :)
-
Alright, give me a little time on this. School just started up, and I'm already being slammed by homework. It shouldn't be too long though.
-
Take your time, not just to long.
-
Judging by the length of the chapters, I think a week should suffice.
-
Sounds good
-
Just stopping by to say I haven't quit, but I'm not done. It should be done by the end of this weekend. I've had work and school and not much time, but I think I have enough time over the next couple of days.
-
Holy sh!t, once you're done, this project will arleady be half way done. I think we can actually pull off finishing this one :)
-
Cheers! :p

I hope so. It sure would be fun if we did.
-
With the way things are going, we will! I just feel worried that you might think I forgot about it by now. I'm just having so much trouble finding time. I will get it done though. One weekend may not have been enough, but I'm sure I'll have enough time this weekend. I am already somewhat decently through the chapter, I just have a lot of key things to put in.
-
coaster.... hand it to me.....
i shall aid you in your quest......
if not, RedFox, can you add me to the stand in list? it's looking a little puny atm. we need stand ins!
-
Come aaaaaaaaaaaaaan. My tuuuuuuuuuurn neeeeext. Huuuuuuurry XD
-
Don't worry about it coas, as long you get it done.
Vlad your now a stand in.
-
It'll be interesting to see what this game is like. For example, it'll be over half done when I get it to work on it, but I have NO idea what its about, how long it is, or who the characters are. :jest:
-
I'm so close now... just hold out a little bit longer for me. :p I'm right about the end of my chapter. School is my big problem. The game got passed to me when school had already started, so it was just unlucky timing. So, anyway, if I'm not sometime in the next few days, then I definitely will be by the beginning of next weekend. I'd say Wednesday at the earliest and Saturday at the latest.
Just keeping you updated so you don't think I'm constantly putting it off. :p
-
HEY HEY HEY
Haven't been posting in a while, Moved, got a job,
Got interwebs.
I'm ready to work on this game.
But i see it isn't ready for me. :P
-
Sorry I been out of town for a couple of days. Sounds good Coas.. Soon half way done :)
-
I'm so happy to finally be able to say this!
Chapter 5 complete. Sent to ZKX.
As far as music goes, I just made a battle theme and inn theme. Didn't really have time to do much else. I only did the battle because RTP Battle 1 burns my ears. :p
-
Great, wonderful.
Good Luck Zero.
By they way someone should change the title music becouse either there is not one or it is the normal rtp. That is if no one have already done thet.
-
No, no one has changed it yet. I'd leave it up to dren because I suck at title themes.
-
ZKX, please give us a notification of whether you got it or not, because... Well, we have no idea if you've left here or not. You there, man?
-
*get's suited for battle*
stand in, ready and waiting in the possible case of ZKX not doing it, sir!
-
No worries, I got it. Just had some busy stuff to do as of late. I'll try to get it done by next weekend.

thinks to self: darn you zeek!!!!!!!!!!!
says: it's good that you managed to pull through.
-
Sounds good Zeek (credits to Archem). Good luck have fun and all that.
-
Can't do it. Lately I've had a lot of **** to do. Had I gotten it when I signed up it woulda been done, but this is terrible timing. Pass it to whoever da ****. If anyone backs out later I may be able to take their place. I just haven't even had the time to play through the damn thing, much less work on it.

Aww... That's a shame. I was looking forward to what you'd make.
-
Me too :
-
To bad I was really looking forward to it. I guess Vlad gets to do it then, I send him a pm.

I know. I'm sorry for making you do that.
-
Don't worry about it.
Vlad if you don't reply to the thread within a week someone else will take your place.
-
If Vlad doesn't reply within a week or whatever, I can take my turn early and he can just take my turn or something if he comes back.
-
Sounds good, I'm sure he read the pm since I saw him online yesterday (or was it today) anyway he didn't reply to the thread as I told him to. He still got 6 days to reply but if he can't do it is there anyone that would like to take his place?
-
Confirmation yet?
There's no way I'm watching this die. We're half-way through it!
-
I'll go! :jumpin:
-
It wont die :)
I have to make my super ending.
-

Yeah, his time is up. Pm coasterkrazy and ask him to send his chapter to you.
So we still need one more. Anyone interested at making a chapter?
Otherwise we will either have to make nine chapters or someone gets to do two chapters.
Sorry for not being so active this week, I had alot of things to do.
-
I'll try.
-
Hmm...I'll give it a shot.
Is there any criteria I have to follow?
-
Sorry Dragoon, lilsniffs3 was first so he gets it.
lilsniffs3 your up after Dragonblaze.
-
Eh, is fine...
-
It's okay, Dragoon can take it.
-
Ok, I'm ready to get it. I'm guessing it'll take me a week to two weeks. I have no idea what this project looks like yet, so its hard to say.
-
lilsniffs, you posted first. You go ahead and take it.
-
Darn.
i never read my pm box, that thing is dead.
and i've had a lot of hecticnes.
so from what i gather....
i wish thee luck, DragonBlaze. and may your patch be sprinkled with good pie.
-
Sent to DragonBlaze.

No.

Ok, I got the project and started working on it :) Theres a lot of stuff I plan to do with it, I should be able to get it done in a week, two at the most. I wanna add a mini-game, which may take a day or two to code by itself. :jumpin:

Okey, maybe next time you get a chance to do one if there will be one. And a little tip: start reading your pms!
-
Let dragoon take it, I'm have a lot of things to do.
-
Okay then. What's the criteria and everything I have to do?
-

When i get done with it, I'll send the project to you, then you continue where I left off. Its set up where each person does a chapter, and the chapter is just whatever you want to happen. I've leaving off in a way that'll let you take the game in a lot of differant dirrections. Though you can't really start thinking of anything yet cuz you wont know what the games about till you get it.
-
I think I left you off with quite an interesting scenario. :p

I hope it's what I'm thinking! If not, that's still cool!
-
I doubt the one I'm planning was the is the one you're thinking of. I finished the first scene from where you left me off, and I have it set up were I could easily make it into a minigame (which I want to do, but only if I have enough time). For the moment though, its only a 'cut scene and not a minigame.
-
So, if I wanted, I could take the game in a completely different direction with a completely different scenario as long as it takes place in that world?
-
Well theres nothing stopping you from doing that...
But you'd be an *** if you did :p
-
I dunno then...I have a hard time doing things like continuing from where one person left off.
-
Originally posted by Dragoon de Sol

Thinking of plot twists are fun.
Why not try to add something?
-
Don't worry, I'm leaving the game off in such a way that there aren't really any events you have to continue, and you can basically be in any location you want. You chapter would probably be better if you coninue with the same theme as the rest of the game, but the game itself won't be completely ruined if you get sidetracked.
Basically, I'm not leading you into something really important like running into an enemy base. You can turn it into something cool and important if you want, if not, hopefully someone else will make something important to the story later on.
Edit: and if you don't really like working off of something/somewhere that someone left for you, working on a chain game isn't for you, because thats kinda the point of one...

Well it's like Dragonblaze said. The rules is do what ever you want, if you want a picture of a cheese spining around screaming "Alcohol!" then do that as long your not breaking any rules of charas like adding porno in the game.
Would anyone be intrested in making another chain game when this one is done?
-
I may go for it.

I'd be up for another one.
-
I supppposssseee... I could too.
-
Definitely. This is so much fun and since we're all pooling our time together, we're actually getting somewhere.
-
Would anyone have any objections if I went back and changed experiance points and such that the monsters give? The game was 'half' over when I got it, and the heros were only around 3 levels higher than they were at the begining of the game :p
Anyway, I'm half done with my section right now. Though the second half will take a lot longer cuz I need to code a bigger minigame and make more graphics (for the first I only had to make 3 poses and 4 monsters).
-
Great, cause I got a good story lined up for a first chapters.

Yeah, It's okey with me.
-
Actually, I have a weird Idea:
Somebody could start off by making the end of a game, then other creators would need to go back in the chronology of the game and make the rest of it!
That's a nice idea guys, isn't it? ....Mmmmyes...?

Yeah and only because I set them that way. They were only 1 level higher for me, and one character was messed up and started at level 1, which I had to fix. I think it'd be great if you fixed the experience stuff. I was going to but I was afraid to start messing with it.
And yeah Bluhman that sounds pretty cool. We'll call it the Charas Reverse Chain Game. :p

Sounds complicated, but it would be really cool, but only if it had a good ending. The problem I see with that though is no one can add characters to the game because all the characters in the game will be at the ending.
-
Mmm... Could work. It could be like if a character dies before the ending.
-
Ok, I finished revamping the battles. Most of the enemies give more experiance points. I gave enemies more life and upped their stats because of it. I also made the hero stats weaker. If a monster with 200 out of 999 attack can only do 80 damage to a level 11 hero with default equipment, somethigns wrong... I also tried making the battles a bit more interesting by giving the heros and monsters more skills. I didn't add any skills to the hero without any mp. So now heros can do something besides just attack.
Constantly bashing the spacebar to do little damage, and not getting much exp or anything to pay off for the battle isn't a good way to do it :p
I tried making the battles harder by mainly giving the enemies more attack and skills, and not HP, (unless its a boss, in which case I didn't touch the skills).
As its set up now, heros will get 1 to 2 levels per chapter (a little more if they try to level up), and i made sure that more levels are needed to fight the enemies in later chapters.
I *started* to make my minigame, but I didn't get as much done as I wanted to yet. With any luck, I'll be able to upload this wednesday or friday.
I also suggest that after everyone has finished, we pass the project back through everyone for a day or two to finish any additional touchups they want. Especially with me redoing the battles, some people might want to edit their enemies to a way they like again. I also found a number of mistakes, including message errors that chop off text so it is unreadable. Anyway, cycling the project back through everyone will give everyone a chance to edit this one last time before its released.

Hope they aren't too much harder. Bashing the spacebar and doing little damage was hard enough.
-
By harder I mean this. I made the heros level up more, thus the enemies later on in the game got a lot easier. So I had to make those harder to match how they were, but I did this by raising other attributes other than just hp.

I like it.
But it would be hard to get the level of the heroes right and making all the monsters.

Oh, I see. Cool. I'm glad you're fixing all of that, but I hope it doesn't affect certain things about a certain weapon...

Err, I have NO idea on what you're talking about, PM me sometime with more details :p
-
w00t mini game system is finally finished! I only use 160 variables and 50 switches :D
Now I dont have much more left to do, so hopefully I'll be able to upload it on friday.
-
Great!
-
Err scratch that, give me to moday to finish it and upload it. I ran into some complications with the minigame, when I tested it on a differant computer, it lagged like hell, and I noticed some errors with conflicting events. The good news is that I think I fixed it for the most part. I was able to turn three parallel process events into one string of events which really reduced the lag and helped the stability of the minigame. Though there still are around 100 parallel process events that dynamically update the main system with data, but they only update every .01 seconds and have around 4 lines of code, and only 20 of them are fully active at a time. In any case, I think I have the lag taken care of, I'll still work a bit on reducing it after I upload it, and then when we cycle the project back around for fixes, I might quick replace the minigame with the new system.
So yeah, at the moment, I'm testing it from the start of the game to make sure the battles are balanced ok. Then i have to add a couple of small maps to the project, which won't take long, but I have to work long shifts all weekend... I may have this up tomarrow night, but I'll definately upload it monday cuz i'll have a lot of time to work on it then if I don't have it finished this weekend.
-
So I know, is the story comical or serious?

It's up to you, but I think most have gone for comical.

In short, it lagged, I combined a few events, its a LOT better :) I'm still gonna test it more after I pass it on, and I may replace it later with a better version.

I actually went for serious. Then again, I couldn't help but have some comic relief. :p
-
I too took it for a pretty much serious plot with some commedy moments and ideas thrown in.
Anyway, I'm done with chapter 6, just gotta run through it and fix any bugs I find, I'll upload it tomarrow and pass it on then. Sorry I didn't get this done on monday, but I was having problems with my gf... Its all better now, but it wasted at least 6 hours of my life...
-
You guys actually did something serious with the plot... I'll look forward to play it.
Sounds good DragonBlaze... not the gf part but you know... chain game.
-
Ok, finished with my part finally, its uploaded and I sent the link to Dragoon de Sol :)
-
I'll start playing now. I wont set a date for when it's done, cause I have very little idea what I'm going to do besides introduce a new character, so meh.
Guys...I am so stinking bored playing this.
-

Yeah, it's all thanks to Bluhman, who built off of your beginning. I'm excited to see how much has been and will be built off of where I left off.
Oh, and only 4 chapters to go! We're gonna make it! I hope...
We better...
-
I'm not thought Bluhman's yet.
-
Ok, I haven't read a single post, but
I DONT GET MY OWN CHAPTER?!?!

Uh... chapters don't just get randomly assigned. Haha, what if the person didn't want to do it? Just remember to look for the next chain game! :p

Well... that kinda sucks.
-
Yeah. I can't go on playing. I'm just bored. Please have someone else continue with it.
-
Just out of curiosity, how far did you get before you quit?
And really, you shouldn't commit yourself to do something then just back out =/
-
I can't wait for when this comes out. It sounds like it'll turn into something.
-

Yeah, seriously, you said you weren't through Bluhman's yet, meaning you were practically nowhere...
Besides that, you don't even have to play everything. I mean, I skipped over a lot of bosses and such when I had it due to the messed up difficulty curve (which DB said he fixed).
-
Fine, you don't have to do it, but at least tell me how far you played before you got bored.
So yet again we need people for a chapter so if your intrested post here, the first to post gets it.
-
Well, where are you NOW Linkforce? Huh?
-
If no one post in lets say five (5) days we either make nine chapters or someone gets to do two.
-
I'm way too lazy to read all these posts so can someone explain what I would do if I decided to help.
-
In short, I send you the project, which currently has 6 chapters. You play through the game so you can see what its about, and then you continue the project by adding a chapter (chapter 7 in your case). Your chapter can pretty much be whatever you want. It's encouraged that you follow the story, cuz really, it wouldn't be cool if you just turned the game completely off topic for no reason. But yeah, you add what you want, then you send it to the next person.
BTW, I left off in a VERY open way, so you won't be restricted to continue with a specific event or location.
-
Hm.....sounds interesting......can I play the game thus far and then see if I want to add to it?
-
Sure, no on else has signed up so go ahead, DragonBlaze send Link
the chain.
I'm going away for a couple of days but I'm sure you guys can keep the chain moving without me.
-
So I just played it a bit, and it's not my cup 'o tea. Sorry guys. There's like no story... Plus, with all the effort I'm putting into CD I don't think I would do too well. Sorry 'bout that. :/
-
I could try this. As long as it isn't too much work. I'm already working on the community game and my project.

It's practically no work. I can see you getting it done. I don't see why people keep saying it's too much work. You can make it work if you want to, like DragonBlaze, but for the most part it's pretty much throwing together an extremely short (I mean measured in minutes short) game segment.
As for the story, well... there is one. I mean, it starts out pretty slow, but there's some nice plot twists along the way. At least I tried with what I had to work with...
-
There is a story, though its not that big at the start of the game. Starting in chapter 5 (I think) the story starts to develop a bit more. In my chapter (chapter 6), I mainly worked on progressing the story, and actually the story pretty much shifts during my chapter, and it ends with an 'opening' to a much more complex story if someone developes it.
So yeah, not too much of a story right away, but it grows a bit more tworeds the end of the demo, plus the story shifts in such a way that you could easily develope a deeper story in later chapters.
aboutasoandthis, I'll send you the link. You don't have to worry about really making that much. One of our chapters is just a single map, so you only need to add as much as you want to. But please, play it through to the end before you decide not to go one with it...
-
Okay I've started playing and so far I'm on Bluhman's chapter.
Would you guys mind if I edited the cutscenes to give it some "story?" I can see where Dragoon and Linkforce are coming from. Remember in a game you have to do something exciting from the get-go and I have a few ideas.
-
I wouldn't mind, we should also consider adding an intro to at the end, but you should make sure you get the permission of the person whos chapter you want to add cutscenes to before you add them. I have cutscenes in my chapter, but if you have a few ideas on some to add, go ahead.
-
I suppose I wouldn't mind, but I honestly don't see where you would add cutscenes about the story. There seem to be enough. Really, there is no story in the beginning, and I think adding more about the story at that point would conflict with the story that develops. Really, DragonBlaze wasn't kidding when he said he left it very open (he sent it to me by accident, so I played it). I think the problem is that there aren't many chapters left and the story is just starting to get involved. If the last few people can't pull off completing the story by then, perhaps we should consider recycling and making another 10 chapters? Just a thought... though I don't know how many people would be interested.
I think due to the length of the chapters, there isn't really a way to make a lengthy, detailed story, which is why I prefer it as it is right now. That and the fact that these grandiloquent openings with stories of the past and whatnot don't really impress me; I personally like what we have. I'm not trying to be defensive concerning everyone's story criticism, but I just feel that only playing up to chapter 2 and then saying the story isn't good is a bit of a hasty generalization. I mean, it literally takes less than 10 minutes to reach chapter 2. How much could possibly happen that's fully developed and interesting?
-
Maybe "story" was the wrong word here. I'm not really talking about dialogue and backstory. I'm thinking "exciting events." Seriously, nothing happens until Chapter 2.
Red Fox, I really really want to add a little intro. Maybe a Chapter 0? Of course, this will only come after I finish the game. Of course I'm going to stay in the boundaries of the story.
-
Oooh, ok that makes a lot more sense then. I see what you mean now. Hmm... it'd be cool if you somehow made an interesting lead-in to him being lost in the forest without making it a really big deal (i.e. he was on a quest for the Holy Grail). You get the picture. :p
-
I'll try not to make this a Spoiler. I'm on DragonBlaze's chapter on the last minigame. Jesus this game is hard...at least for my tastes. I had to kindof cheat to get to the end of it. I guess everyone has their own ideas.
I will say that DragonBlaze stat balancing is excellent. It just felt natural. I haven't decided if I want to add anything besides my chapter yet. Now back to the game..

w00t, I played through the game at least 4 times to try and get the stats and stuff to be right. It was kind of hard to do since In my game, I only use stats 1-100, and I use my own algorithms to determain what they do and stuff, but I'm glad it turned out good. Leveling up should be easy though since I most of the enemies give alot of experiance points now.
One question (you can answer it in a PM if you want). Basically I'm wondering if the minigame lagged at all or if you found any bugs or anything like that
-
It lags horribly. Don't worry about it, it's a problem with my personal computer. We have an even slower processor since you gave me your CBS demo. My dad's been meaning to get a new one. It actually took me 12 tries to beat the minigame.
I'll put more detailed notes about what I've done in the game, but I've actually changed a bit of the gameplay. I made the healing items and spells a little bit stronger. There are a lot of places in the game where you can get stuck from lack of healing options. I mostly added a feature where the Defense command gives you a small, random percentage of your health if you use it. I'd say it gives you maybe 30 HP? It made the game "feel" more fun.
-btw the change are easily removable.
-
Gah, well I think I can fix the lag, even for your comptuer. It lags cuz it updates a few hundred lines of coding every .0 seconds, and since rm2k3 has to convert every command to something the computer can use, it's slow. I can change it so that it updates every .2 seconds which in turn will reduce lag around 5 times, however, it will require redesigning half the system :(
I'll try to work on it though.
-
Kay' I'm back and welcome to the chain about. And yes feel free to add a intro if you want.
-
You're going to have to pass it to someone else. I've been banned from the computer for at least a month. Possibly indefinately. I haven't touched it in days. I'm actually typing this on my school computer. They actually know about the game making and they want me to stop. "Association with less desirable characters" and "lack of success" without the cuss words. I can't stand it. I hate this. Bye guys.
Shady if you're reading this, I'm sorry about what my dad has done to you.

Wow, that's... insulting. Whatever.
By the looks of it, you can't really say much, but it seems like whatever's happening really sucks. Sorry to hear it. :|
-
Meh, I would give the argument that if you wan't do do anything with computers in your future, it is actually healthy to interact with others who share the same interest. For example, at my university, we have a computer club, which actually isn't as geeky as I thought, but anyway, the people in the club and working with computers more often get higher scores in their computer classes. Even if you don't plan to work with computers, you'll have to use them to comunicate with others in almost any job, so participating in forums will help you with that aspect. Or at least thats what I'd say to my parents if they had a problem with this...
Anyway good luck.
Who's gonna get the project next? I say that we should just skip the empty 7 space for now and give the project to whoever is signed up for 8. Then if we can find someone, they can maybe work on chapter 8 or something. But we should really try to keep production going on this as soon as we can, just having it sit on my hard drive isn't doing it any good. =/
-
Yeah... Just hope they won't leave too so AFL?
-
Wow, Its coming along huh?
I can't wait.
-
... I would help in doing my own share but I don't have RPGXP except in it's trial which is almost out... =(
-
It's 2k3.
-
Uh sure. I have so band things i have to do first though. (Going to be gone all Friday-Sunday, finally getting home around 3:00 AM Monday Morning)
-
You know what? I'll take it. I'll take Chapter 7. The last three weeks have been HELL for me... But now, I'm confident the following weeks will be nothing.
-
Okey, Bluhman you get to do chapter 7. PM DragonBlaze and ask him to send you his chapter.
AFL, sorry but you will have to wait a little longer.
-
2k3? i might help if i can find some time between school work and my 'job'
-
Ok, I sent the link, it would be really nice if we can finally get this project started again, lol.
-
Euuurrrgggh... DB, can you please tell me how to just skip the whole flying sequence? It's aggravating. I would've personally kept the whole tile based movement sequence, because it's too hard to aim with the pixel-by-pixel method you're using right now. Not to mention, it'd probably help the game run MUCH better.
-

I just chose the lowest quality one that skipped the whole thing. I only had to fight the boss, which really wasn't that hard.
-
Lol, yeah, you can either just skip the the boss, or you can just edit it so that when you talk to Keckshio, instead of going to the minigame, you just skip it. You'd need to teleport to the first map on the ship, top or the map, and line it up inbetween the two monsters.
I could take the pixal movement out, though that wouldn't help with the lag. I'll work on it.
-
I played a game very similar to the game you made. It was in a collab. game elsewhere, and it was completley tile-based movement.
On my computer, at least, the game worked like a charm. The whole minigame was extremely enjoyable, and if you couldn't do it, you could just move on to the next part.

Yeah, wich is the main reason Bluhman gets to do two chapters.
-
Just so you guys know, I'm still in this, I'm pretty excited to get Chapter 9. Also, if not having enough chapters to end the story effectively is an issue, why not add an 11th chapter? Or 12th? But since I have very little idea about the story, idk. Is this a serious story or comedic?
-
From what I've played it's both. I think you guys will be able to finish the story in under 10. I had an idea for the story that would've "finished" it. Unfortunately that was the only thing I could get done. <_<

So far has turned out to be incredibly serious (thanks to my first chapter). Chapter 7 is also shaping up to be sort of serious, but I'm beginning to think I might change that... Heh heh heh...
-
Sweet, it should be interesting coming up with a lead in to the ending. Hopefully I don't blast it all to hell. >.<
-
Yeah, from what I know it's serious and glad I'm to hear that you won't leave.
By the way Bluh how's it going with your chapter?
-

Arrr, haven't found time to work, even though my big project is done.
-
Okey, take your time.
-
Hows it progressing?
-
...
*waits for this to come to me*
*waits for sai smiley thing to not have to be IMG'd*
-
It's almost done. Haven't gotten a chance to even touch it since last week, though.
-
Was just about to pm you and to ask you how it's going with it. Try to get it done soon so we can continue.
We're so close to finish it now.
-
It's finished. I'm going to zip it up and send it right to AFL.
E: Sent
-
Great! Wonderful!
-
Sorry, just started playing... apparently, someone didn't reset the starting position, I I guessed at where I had to reset it. =p
EDIT: I almost died when I made it to chapter 3's opening music!
-
I don't really know whats happens at that chapter but feel free to modify the enemies making them weaker but change it back when your done. We have to try to balance it when all chapters is done.
-
Oops, I thought someone would take it that way, I just meant to music used for it. lol. Just made it to chp4, hopefully I'll finish the up what's been done so far today.
-
You can thank me for that. After I came up with the concept for the chapter, it seemed the most appropriate choice for music.

Your title was clever too!
-
How is It coming?
Almost Done?
I really want to see what Its become
-
I'm stuck at Dragonblaze's mini-game, I can't skip it either, it just does it anyway. =p My compy doesn't like the mini-game.
-
Gah, I'll fix it, I'll add a skip feature on the map, then I'll send you the new map.
EDIT: Ok, I fixed it, the updated file is here:
http://www.savefile.com/files/1263150
Theres two maps in there, one is an updated map to give the option to skip the game. The other map overwrites a useless map so that instead of completely skipping the minigame, it just plays an animation of what you do in the minigame.

Well as soon AFL is done Drenrin is up and then it's your turn to put an end to the chain.

I hope I can do it justice :)
-
I had it for so long and my chapter is most likely the shortest. Uploading now.
Uploaded and pm'd.
-
Sorry for my inactiveness, Mass effect got a hold of me. Anyway Drenrin it would be great if you replied confirming that you got it and thats you working on your chapter.
-
Yes, I got it today, I'm gonna play it through then start work on my chapter.
-
Long time no see guys. Turns out Dren won't make chapter 9 so is any one intrested in making a chapter?
C'mon guys we are so close now.
-
I could do another chapter if you can't find anyone else to do it.
-
Good, I give it another day and if no one claims it then you can pm AFL and do another chapter.
-
*searches for link to it*
-
Okey, DragonBlaze you get to do it another chapter... If AFL finds the link thats is.
-
haha, Its been a while and I just remembered about this,
But I guess there was a Ch:9 transfer
almost done?
-
*searches frantically*
GAH!!!!! I CAN'T FIND IT!!!!
... Hopefully my My Documents folder hasn't deleted itself again!
-
Does this help?
********
=X
-
Great that you got thelink and all Dren. But can you please remove it and pm it to Blaze instead I don't want the game to be released before it's done.
-
Assuming that files is where AFL left off, theres no need to PM me with it as I'm working on downloading it right now.
Err Vidian, how much time are you willing to put into the game? Just asking cuz theres probably a lot of tieing up and twisting to do at the end of the game, and I don't want to leave you with a HUGE part to do. So if you're willing to spend a lot of time with it, I wont have to make chapter 9 all that long; whearas if you don't want to spend that much time on it, them I'll make chapter 9 longer to tie some things up. I just want to make sure that the game ends up with a good ending :)
-
Yeah, right no pm.
So... I downloaded and played the game. What can I say except I love it , I love what every one has done with the story, I love the humour in it, I love the heroes. Great work every one. Keep it up.
-
Thanks for your concern Dragonblaze, I'll spend as much time as I need to make it :D
Is there alot of plot points that need addressing?
-
Hmm I've tried downloading it from Ch8
But I keep running into missing files.
I think I'm gunna have to re-download the RTP.
My rtp World map's name is Basis instead of Main.
I have Hero2 instead of char2,
And SystemD Instead of system4
Does anyone know where to get the rightly named RTP files?
-
Sending links to rpgmaker or its rtp is agianst the rules, but I sent you a pm with some stuff that'll help. Anyway, I too came across a few rtp errors in chapter 8, but I fixed them by replacing them with the more commonly named rtp files.
Thanks for your concern Dragonblaze, I'll spend as much time as I need to make it
Is there alot of plot points that need addressing?
Sweet. Anyway, the plot took a BIG turn at chapter 8, so we have two chapters now to use and tie up this new idea, which isn't a bad thing at all, it just means that the last two chapters will probably need to be a bit longer to tie it up. So there are a lot of points that need to be adressed; however, there are a lot of points that CAN be adressed. Usually good endings will connect events and points that seem unrelated and connect them for som epic reason.
-
I noticed one plot hole that revolves around a character that I think needs to be addressed... :|
Oh, also, in Chapter 8, I got "The file General2 cannot be opened." Since I'm too late for the construct, I thought I'd point these things out here without revealing anything.
-
I fixed the errors in chapter 8 due to missing files by replacing the graphics.
PM me with the plot hole, and I'll see what I can do about it. I might already have plans for it though :)
-
I founds some small errors when I played it, mostly places where your able to walk on the walls but we can take care of that when we are passing the chain back through everyone.
-
Lol, yeah I saw the plothole you were talking about coaster, anyways, I already have plans for how to fix it.
I was gonna PM you something; however, your pm imbox is full!
-
Yeah, I noticed, haha. I just cleared it a little while earlier. Well I'm glad you saw it. :)
-
Wait, what? I left a hole?
Is it the other person at the beginning? ...:(
-

Its not you. It was that some things with 'polly's wife' didn't make sence, but I have some cool ideas of how to work with it.
-
Nope! Couldn't have possibly been me! Heh... Heh heh...
<.<
>.>
*Runs off*
-
I'm going away for a week but I'm sure you'll survive without me :P
-
Bye.
Well, they said it was Chapter 8 so...
-
Nah, he was just telling Vidian that the plot took a big turn at Chapter 8, which it did, and I was just noting the missing file. The actual hole occurred in 7.
-
yay.
You can thank Bluhman for the change, with his chapter. lol.
There was a missing file? Hm... thats odd. It may have been an rtp from the other rtp... as I magically have 2 on this computer. O_o.
-
I'm back. How's it goin' ?
-
I'm still working on it, though work is going kinda slowly. I really like what I have so far though :)
-
Thats cool, I can't wait to get it, You are sending it with the rtp yes?
-
Yup
-
Hey... did anyone else notice that the <complete> part of red fox's post is gone?!
...Yay! Ever closer to the final product!
-
It's the never ending chain game!!
-
DragonBlaze an update would be nice. Hows it going?
-
Please?
-
Pertty Please?
-
>.>
This is almost done. O_O
-
Sorry for keeping you all waiting....
So here it is!
....
An update!
My part isn't done yet :( It almost is though. I made all the maps, and I made all of the events for the first half of it. Basically I have two dungeons to event out, which shouldn't take too long. I should have this done tomarrow (as long as I have time to work on it).
-
Sounds good. I can see the light now, were so close to actually finish this ^^
By the way everyone who made a chapter gets a little award.
That is when I get my Photoshop to work ><
Edit: Awards created and given away, Vidian you get yours when you made your chapter.
-
YAY. I like my award. Its perty(meant to do that).
:happy:
-
Love the award!
-
Glad you all like it ^^
-
OH EMM Gee DOUBLE U TEE EF IZ MAI REWARD BETCH??
-
:O
-
i still haven't gotten this yet.. o.o ??
-
Yeah, was just about to post and ask.
DragonBlaze, you have a funny definition of "tomorrow". Hows it going? Would be great and wonderful if you could try to get it done soon.
-
Yeah, funny you should mention that... Anyway, I'm uploading it right now :D Problem is that I have dial up, so it may not work too well. Its 20 mbs now with the rtp included. So that'll take around 2 hours, and my connection doesn't like long file transfers. So if it fails to upload today, I'll upload it tomarrow at school with my fast internet connection.
I just didn't have much time at all to work on this :( Like it took me a week just to find monsters and and add them to the game. Anyway, sorry for the huge delay.
-
Great, wonderful. One chapter left ^^ Good luck Vidian.
-
Yay, it uploaded correctly the first time :D
Anyway, I PMed Vidian the link.
-
Lol. No matter how long it takes, as long as it gets done. haha
-
Oh my...
What a game...
I just finished Chapter 9... and its 4:30 in the morning... :O
That was a nice place to end it DragonBlaze omg, what now
-
Well I'm glad replacing the rtp allows you to play it fine now (I'm assuming you can since you played through the whole thing lol). Anyway, I left it off so that you could do pretty much whatever you want for your chapter and the ending. The only thing I recommend is having a plot instead of just:
- heros find bad guy
- heros go through long dungeon to get to bad guy
- heros kill bad guy
with no real twists, plot, or much of anything except fighting hoards of monsters along the way.
Anywy good luck, have fun :)
-
lol, I started to devise a grandiose plot once I... died.
Is gunna get weird from here :D
-
Sounds good :P Anyway when your done send it to me and we shall begin the final stage; The tweaking.
On another note, I've started a little bit on Chain game II. I'm thinking of adding a deadline to the chapters. Does two weeks sound good or is it to little.
Started a little bit on chapter 1, going for a little bit more serious plot and longer first chapter this time. I make a topic about it when this is done and have been out for a little while.
-
Sounds cool. :)
-
Well two weeks sounds good, but I don't think that a "deadline" is that good of an idea. If someone needs a few more days to finish something up, they should be able to get that something done rather than leaving something out. Maybe a dealine of two weeks, but if someone needs the time, they should be able to get a few more days so they can finish something up.
A second chain game, w00t!
-
Hehe well of course there will be a second chain game, it's been a blast making this one.
Anyway about the deadline it can be a couple of days late just as long you try to get it done somewhat around the time you have. It will also give the members an idea when it will be their turn so if something come up around their date and they can't do it so can they tell us in time instead a couple of days after they begun their chapter and we have to spend a week trying to find a replacement.
-
20 chapters! That would take forever. This with 10 chapters have already been in the making for 8 months.
-
I think about it :P
But it will be hard to find people, we barly got enough for this... well we didn't get enough two members had to do two chapters. Hopefully the intrest will have gone up after the game is released.
-
Holy crap! 8 months already!?!?!
Wow.
-
Almost a month a chapter lol.
-
lol, I remember rushing the crap out of my chapter because my predecessors had only taken a couple of days. Now it seems people are taking much longer.
I'm glad it's nearing completion; any word when the whole game will be put up?
-
Nah not really. We're not going to rush things at the end but stay somewhat active becouse when Vidian is done we shall do some tweaking, everyone get a day or two to make some minor upgrades and bug fixes to their chapter.
-
Aww, I'm sorry to have to say this, but I can't do the last chapter...
I was about half way through, then My computer blew up and everything is gone, The Chain Game, Star Trek, The Green Sleeves... everything :(
To top it off, I'm currently Computerless.
Someone else will have to pick up the Chain Game from DragonBlaze, I probably wont be on Charas for a while :(
Sorry Dudez, My Ending was gunna kick *** :D
-
Oh thats fucked up.
-
Nooooooooooooooooooooo!
...
So... Anyone wanna do the last chapter? If not I'll do it.
-
you should soooo do it.
-
If you guys don't mind...
I could do it.
-
Sure, welcome abord.
Pm Dragonblaze and ask him to send you the game. And you know... go wild and make a great last chapter.
-
Alright. Will do :3
-
Ok, I got the game re-uploaded and sent to Archeia :)
Anyway good luck. Where the game goes from chapter 9 is pretty open, so there are many ways you can choose to end it ;)
-
Another catastrophe avoided! ...er.. except in Vidian's case. :(
-
It was a close call so to speak.
May your computer rest in peace Vidian.
-
So hows it coming along?
-
Sorry for my inactiviness I've been playing a little bit to much Mythos lately.
Anyway an update would be nice, let us know that you alive and working on it... Cause your working on it, right?
-
Lol...
I call chapter 2 in the next chain game!
-
Lol no sign up until I made the thread about it :P
Anyway I'm gonna pm her and see if I can get an answer
-
I'll contact her on GamingW. I talk to her regularly.
-
Woops sorry everyone. I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I'm haven't finished playing the game yet Because I had some school issues and deadline from the past few weeks ^^;
It might take a while but I'll try to finish ASAP :X
-
Fine Red Fox. I guess I'll just have to wait. =D
-
Take your time Archeia.
And AFL I'm thinking of putting up a Chain game 1.5 or something like that while we wait... Just something short like 5 chapters or something.
-
That'd be neat.

Thats cool, but wouldn't it be Chain game 0.5? Cuz 1.5 is between 1 and 2... and we're not done with 1 lol. Sometimes I get too technical :happy:
-
But this one would probably get done before that one, meaning this would be 1, so that would have to be 1.5. Maybe it could be... an epilogue or something. Actually no, because we aren't done with this yet. :p A spin off? Who knows.
-
Argh, you making me confused so it gets no number >.< It's just gonna be called "The exsomnis chain". A scifi plot, I'm going for serious but then again you can change the plot as you want. Going to try to get it done by sunday and make a topic about it so stay tuned.
Okey...the name is kinda crappy >.< Gonna try to come up with something Scifish name that has something to do with chain.
-
...I like the sound of 1.5... it could be released after Chain Game is. Then, there you go, 1.5
-
So Chain Game 1.5 is up. Sign up now only 4 chapters left!
-
...I hate church now. I missed the signing up of like 7 chapters. *sigh*
-
It feels like the closer we get to being done, the longer it takes. :p Take your time though! The last chapter is arguably the most important!
-
Yeah but now theres only one...
Oh sweet god theres only one :P
-
omg... we still have to make any small corrections though huh. >.> This is going to be interesting.
-
I don't know what corrections I would make. I feel like the biggest correction would be DragonBlaze making sure the experience curve works right.
Then again, I know one thing I could correct... but it would only be if we could correct each other's chapters. If so, I would correct spelling and grammar errors! I can be kind of nitpicky about them.
-
Well we cycle the game through to everyone and they get to play their through their chapters and see if they can find some errors to correct.

Lol, well that experiance curve was just a little fix cuz I went through half the game and only gained a few levels. Really anyone can adjust that if they want. I have noticed spelling errors and a few map errors throughout the game, so those will be fixed. The biggest fix I'd have would be to fix my minigame up a bit.
-
I'm probably going to add a couple of maps in the first chapter becouse now it's really baaaad. I'm also going to add an intro.
-
yeah, I may add to the town i made...
-
The main portion of my chapter was originally intended to be a side quest, but I made it necessary to advance after failing to think up any other material.
I think the main thing I'd do is extend upon my town; maybe add a few houses and some actual side quests.
-
Any updates?
-
Okey, so I have send a pm to her 2 days ago and haven't got an answer. If she hasn't aswered by tomorrow I will do the last chapter so we get it done.
-
I haven't got an answer. So I'll will do the last chapter, Dragonblaze will you pm me a download link to the game.
-
I'll have to re-re-reupload it tomarrow at school when i'm on my high speed connection lol.
I'll send it to you then.
-
Lol, thats why I started taking chapter after chapter in the new chain.
-
Ok, good luck with the last chapter! I can't wait to see this game finished!
-
I've played thtough the game (it's ****ing awesome) and I've been working on it for a couple of hours, it's going great. Gonna try to get it done in two weeks,
-
DUDE WTF? ITS BEEN 8 MONTHS SINCE YOU STARTED THIS TROUBLESOME GAME HURRY UP DAMMIT!
OR I KEEL YOU! :D .... :badboy: ... ::)
-
(Due to a long wait for the last chapter by that other person)
-
It will take the time it takes xtreme, I won't just rush through it just for the sake to get it done. I'm going to do my best to make a great ending if it so takes a month.
Anyway some screenshots to keep the mood up they are all from chapter 10 (except the first) and they won't give anything away.

-
this is my life. I get paid 23 dollars an hour to moderate. lol
-
I usually don't have a life but at the moment I do, I graduate school in three weeks so it might take me longer then two weeks to get it done.

Ah well I'm sorry to disappoint you guys u.u
-
How long have you come or are you done? In that case we can use yours, if you still want that is. I rather have someone else make it then me making two chapters... The more the marirer.
-
It's completely awesome that you've got so far with this. Everyone attributed to this game rocks.
-
Hows it coming?
-
Yeah, hi... I've been internetless for several days wich has been anoying like hell but I'm back now. Now when you know that let's go to some updates. It's going forward, but it's going slow. Like I said I'm graduating school next week so most of my attention goes to that. But after next week I will be able to work full speed with it.
-
W00t! The Charas Chain Game Lives!
-
It's done!? Yes it's done! YES- oh wait... almost... okay cool!
-
... Yeah almost almost done :P I got the story in my head and must of the graphic done just two more charset left to make. I finished the last boss graphic yesterday, it's awesome.
And does anyone have a (rtp sized) battle chara of this guy:
-
Question: Will this be released to the rest of the members on the forums?
-If so, I'm happy because I didn't have to wait long. :D
-
no, were making it so then only 10 people get to see it.
DUH!
Of course.

No I actually just decided to not release the game. I'm going to keep it for myselfs. So yeah **** you guys.
-
I had the day off from school today so I spent all the day with our beloved chain game. It will probably be done next week. I got almost all the graphic done (just got half a charset left to make.) Then there is just the map and event left wich is what I'm working on now.
In the meanwhile you can enjoy this screenshot:
Edit:
I'm in a good mood today so you guys get another screenshot.
-
Yeah so I didn't manage to get the chapter done last week. But now I have graduated school and are unemployed so I got all the ****ing free time in the world so I'm going to do my best to get it done this week. I think I maybe made my chapter a little bit to long but it's to late to change that now.

(Yay)²(=0)
hm... i think that would be...
y²+ya+y²+ay+a²+ay+y²+ya+y²(=0)
4y²+4ay+a²=0
-4ya____-4ay
4y²+a²=-4ay
√(4y²+a²)=√(-4ay)
2y+a=2i√(ay)
_2___2
y+(a/2)=i√(ay)
y²(a/2)²=i²√(ay)²
y²(a²/4)=-1ay
y____y
y+a²/4=-a
-y_____-y
a²/4= -y-a
a² = 4(-y-a)
√a² = √[-4(y+a)]
a = 2i√(y+a)
gah... i'm lost...
-
Your logic is flawed... how you got an equation out of an expression is beyond me.
EDIT: Oh wait, at one point you set it equal to 0. I need to recheck this now...
EDIT after rechecking: I think it should be -√a. You said the √ay² was ay, when in fact it would be y√a. Consequently, the end result is -√a and not -a. But I liked how you did that. Very clever. :)
EDIT AGAIN: Oh no, I'm wrong, you're right. There should be PARENTHESES around that though! I got lost and couldn't tell that was an entire expression being squared there!
I've been out of maths too long... almost a month... SOMEONE CHALLENGE ME TO A MATH-OFF... I'm really overdoing this...
-
haha.
Fix'd.
EDIT:
CRAP. I forgot the a².. i can't figure it out now. =P
-
I'm so close now, I can feel it and it feels gooood. It's even better then touching myself. I only get the maps leading up to the final boss left. Going to get it done tomorrow if I so have to stay up all night.
-
id be lying if i said i wasnt excited.

....yay?
-
Got all the maps done. Just have to create the monster for the last boss and some events for the last few maps. And then I'll have to test the chapter. Do some minor changes in the first chapter. I'll do all that tonight and I'll upload it when I go to bed. The first thing I'll do when I wake up tomorrow is to pm Bluhman and give him the link.
-
:D
-
We're almost there! After all this time, we're almost there!
-
It's done. The maps, all the events, the credit screen. Everything is done. Now I just have to test it.
-
Done. Now sleep.
-
UPLOAD DAMMIT.
Oh, wait, we still have to pass it back... Well, I doubt there's anything I'll want to change.
-
****. You beat me. I feel lame...
-
Yeah... only becouse I was up from 7:00 to 3:30 working on it.
So I've send it to Bluhman. For you that don't know we send it through to each member again so they can play though their chapter and correct errors and bugs. Just one more thing, to save time just play though your chapter. If you want to play the whole game you can do that when your done. Also I don't know if I can be we the chain till the end. I'm moving in a couple of month and I don't know If I will have internet access.
-
Thats terrible!
Yay.
-
Did I say 7... I meant 19:00 >.<
-
Yay. Got the PM, and I will now start the process. Will be done in a jiffy, folks! (I promise. I'm not like SOME other people.)
-
Did I say 7... I meant 19:00 >.<
I prefer the 7 myself. I automatically assumed you meant pm. =P
-
Did I say 7... I meant 19:00 >.<

American time is all fucked up with am and pm's if you ask me :S It should be good ol' military time.
-
Ok done. Uploading right now. About to send to Ziddddddddaine.
-
Great, wonderful!
-
I'm downloading it now.
-
...huh?
-
what I nevar posted :x
-
-_-''
-
o_o'
...Anyway... I can't wait to get this back and add some more stuff to my town. O_O
-
Hows it going Zidane?
-
I just sent it to SC3K last night.
-
Sweet, wounderful, lovely!
Just hope he comes online and sees it soon.
-
I have it and I am now starting on it.
-
Sweet, wounderful, lovely!
If we work like this all the way we might get it done very soon.
-
You better get it done soon. >.<
-
Awesome, I can't wait to get it :) It may seem like I'm hardly on anymore, but I check charas all the time from my phone, for some odd reason charas works awesome from access web, I just can't post anything :(
-
Yeah, I wondered where you had gone.
Anyway hows it going SC3K? It would be good if you could try to get it done soon.
-
Sorry for the wait, but I had alot of things to fix.
I've just uploaded it and sent it on to coastercrazy.
-
Aw, now I'm REALLY tempted to play the whole thing before everyone is done changing the little things! Oh well, maybe I'll play it and then play again when it's released.
I'll have this done fast I think. I doubt there'll be much, if anything, that I change.
-
Sent to DragonBlaze already. I didn't change anything. I've already played through my chapter about 10 times checking every corner haha.
Well, I did change one thing but it was ridiculously minor so I just asked DragonBlaze to fix it since it would be impractical for me to upload it again.
EDIT: Okay, is it just me, or is AFL's chapter impossible?
Has anyone else tried it? It's impossible. I'm at a higher level than I would even need to be for that part of the game, but there's no way to beat the random boss. I've tried every strategy, but he just speeds himself up so much that you can't even attack him. By the time you drain your magic, he pretty much already has you beat. I just can't describe with any word other than impossible. AFL, don't get me wrong. It's a cool chapter, I just don't get why you did that. I feel like at that point, there have been enough challenges so that you should be able to take a break, even if it's just a little one. My biggest recommendation to you for when the game gets passed back to you would be to either make that boss more like a random enemy or have it so you automatically can't win or just not have it at all.
Sorry, but that's just really been bugging me... I had to say something. Please don't take offense, I just REALLY think it needs to be changed...
-
Actually he's pretty simple if have the claw equiped, then you kill him in like two hits or something. But yeah that boss needs some balance.
Anyway good work both.
Edit:
Yeah, thats reminds me. Dragonblaze I removed some stuff from your shop. You could buy some overpowerd epic weapons for free. (in chapter 9)
-
I hate you all. Damn teamspeaking bastards.
I want to play too.

I actually went into the database and cheated my way through it. I wanted to finish the game, but that boss was just too hard. Although, to be fair, I had run from many battles from previous chapters, so one could say my team was a little underleveled for it.
-
...I'm sorry. I think I just wanted to finish the chapter after having it for two weeks. i'm not even sure if I tested to see if you could. O_O. Oh well. I'll fix it.
Claw, eh? hm...
-
Yeah, Sable Claws they are called I think.
-
Okay i'm downloading it now :) With any luck I'll be able to fix everything and reupload it tonight, but I might have to wait till tomarrow, but yeah, i'll get it up asap.
-
Where is the download link? Thiss whole thing sounds awesome! Next chain game count me in!
-
You're a little late, but feel free to put yourself on the fill-ins list!
http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?topic=22563.0
Oh, and for the download link, just remember patience is a virtue! It'll be the bestest it can possibly be before you play it.
-
Umm, I finished... But do I send this to bluhman or afl? Anyway, I'm gonna go and send it to afl, and if bluhman needs to rework chapter 7, he can get it after afl lol.
-
I think it should go to AFL. If you also reworked chapter nine, tell him to then send it right back to redfox.
-
Oh god we're so close now. When I get ite I just need to do some small things on chapter 10 then we will be done!
-
Yeah I redid chapter 9 as well, so it should go to redfox after afl.
-
I am so motherfuckin' excited to play this
-
GET IT DONE GET IT DONE GET IT DONE GET IT DONE GET IT DONE GET IT DONE GET IT DONE GET IT DONE GET IT DONE GET IT DONE GET IT DONE GET IT DONE GET IT DONE GET IT DONE GET IT DONE

AFL hows it going?
-
About to download it. :D
-
Okey. Good Luck.
-
*downloaded and begins to fix horrid mistakes*
EDIT1:BTW, with the future guy I made, use Karlia's Status moves. THEY HELP. Believe me. Use them later though, so then its turns are really quick and its poison kills him quicker.. i mean... it... doesn't... >.>
EDIT2: Uploading now.
-
Okey, I got it. Going to start on it tonight.
-
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
SO... CLOSE...
-
You know how sundays usually sucks? Well this won't (hopefully). I'm going to try to get the Chain Game done tonight and it will be released tomorrow.
-
I can't wait to play!Hope you don't find anything wrong Red Fox!
-
Well after correcting everything, he has to also spruce up the ending a little bit, so it could take a little longer than you might think.
-
Well I balanced the final boss, and I have spruced up the ending (I think, depend on what the word spruce means). But I still need to play through my chapter and see if I can find some small error hidden away in some far corner of some map. But now I need sleep so I'm going to do it tomorrow. The game will still be released tomorrow just a little bit later then I planned.
-
Oh right, I guess Dragon would have fixed his up already =D.
Yes for the finish time.
-
I noticed something in your chapter, and I just wanted to make sure that you do too. In the fighter's guild, when talking to the stranger, he asks you if you'd like to increase your stats for 2500G. The problem here, though, is that it only checks to see if you have the money, it doesn't take it away. Seeing as I had something like 2600, which was above 2500, I could just boost my Carvat up to however high of stats I wanted. I hope that makes sense.
-
Thanks S I've corrected it now.
-
WTF
RELEASE PLS
-
Shut up and wait a couple of hours.
please.
-
w000000000000t
Can´t wait :3
-
Uploading now.

Alright. Now to do a countdown. 5!

-
Uploading to where?
Bluhman, stop meddling with the inner workings of my feeble mind! Is it out or not?
I can has Chain Game? :0
-
Uploaded. First page for download. Enjoy.
Edit:
Discovered a mayor bug that needs fixing. So I'm taking it down for a couple of mins.
Edit:
Fix'd. Download link up again.
-
W00T
I´mma download it nao.
-
Led Zep, Survivor, and I think some Guilty Gear music was thrown there.
Either way, game over theme FTW.
So,
Music: 5/5
The music is collected from some of the greatest things in the world. Jimmy Page FTW.
Story: 4/5
Pretty good, excluding the fact that Fiend Inc. is called Fiend Inc.
Gameplay: 4/5
A lot of it was good, EXCEPT for the last boss battle. Other than the boss, I liked how he changed his face after so often. I could've handled a good puzzle to escaping Fiend Inc. in the beginning, like searching around for objects.
Graphics: 5/5
I really liked it. I like it lots.
Creativity:4/5
This was the downfall- or was it? There was a lot of originality, such as the axe and the last boss. However, the names........"Big ****ing Axe" WTF???
Overall: 4(1/2)/5
The game is great. PLAY IT NAO. DO NOT SKIP DRAGGY'S GAME.
-
What's wrong with the name Big ****ing Axe? This wasn't like a DEAD SERIOUS RPG. I think there was more comedy than drama overall, really.
-
Yeah, it's not a dead serious rpg, but Big ****ing Axe? Couldn't you think of something else?
-
I'm not even gonna respond because this has nothing to do with me considering I didn't name it that. I was just saying I have no problem with the name Big ****ing Axe.
-
I'm not even gonna respond
Not counting the response in which you said those words, of course.
-
I meant I wasn't gonna respond to "Couldn't you think of something else?" Which I didn't.
-
I know, I´m just making fun of you.
*evil laugh*
-
Overall: 4(1/2)/5
The game is great. PLAY IT NAO. DO NOT SKIP DRAGGY'S GAME.
4.5/5 Great, wonderful. Let's try to score a 5 in the next.
And theres is nothing wron with Big ****ing axe. It's describes the axe perfectly it's ****ing big and it's an axe.
-
dude im literally crying right now... THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GOD BLESS YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!
-
...did you make another thread about this? Or try and get a mod to announce it on the main page? I didn't even realise that it was finished >.> It's like the best thing charas has ever done and I missed it! XD
Downloading now.
-
Could someone fill me in on what's going on? I don't feel like reading a lot of the older pages to find out what this is.
-
It's a game where 10 charas member make a chapter each. 1 member starts and when he is done with his chapter he sends it to the next guy in line who makes his chapter and so on. And when all 10 is done you have a finished game.
There is still spots open in the second chain game if your interested: http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?topic=23749.0
...did you make another thread about this? Or try and get a mod to announce it on the main page? I didn't even realise that it was finished >.> It's like the best thing charas has ever done and I missed it! XD
Downloading now.
Hmmm there was a thread in unmod... but no front pagish stuff :/
-
The charas chain game is awesome. Proves that a couple of memebers can make a decent-great rpg with more or less limited resources.
I enjoyed it.
-
Wow. That was great!, i loved the game, a big well done to everyone who contributed to the chapters and helped mak the game, it very enjoyable filled with many great momments, was a pleasure to play and can't wait for number 2 to be realesed
-
Well, I've played up to the last chapter, but I need sleep XD Totally awesome so far, though.
-
Yes, sleep is good. Glad you liked it.
-
Hey, which page is the download link on? I havn't been able to find it.
-
The first page.
-
The first page.
Thanks, i'm going to go download, i've been wanting to for some time, but I only just now got a chance.
-
Windows is telling me it will take 13 hours to extract all the files to a place I can run them from.
Nonetheless, I will persevere, and play.
-
Finished it. Cool beans.
(No, I don't actually say cool beans >.>)
I've gotta say that the highlights were that fairy that went "Is there someone there? Well if there's anyone there, you're healed!", the whole dragon bit, Bluhman's distinctive message pacing (which made me yearn for another Alpha force demo), the masked man (in his initial spooky role) and the whole of chapter 4.
But everyone did an awesome job. It was really cool. I'll try to live up to this in my part of chain game 2 ^^
-
Nice up until leaving the well. I can't. Either I'm missing an item or something, or I'm just not fast enough. I have the sword, though.
-
It's an event somewhere that decreases the speed. I only got halfway with the breath you get(for that last part) after I grabbed the bag with 2k money.
Better off opening it with the maker and increasing the speed yourself unless you want to replay everything.
-
The old link I guess is dead.
So here is another one:

I quite honestly forgot about this.
-
Have fun! (Would have posted in the actual topic... but its like months old so...)
I wouldn't have minded. I'm pretty sure there's a few people here who haven't played the 1st, so I'll see if I can merge this with the old thread for a bump.
-
Awesome, thanks.

This was well before he mutated into a spammer. Besides, he only accounts for perhaps a 5th of the effort that went into the chain game, making simply the beginning and end.
Of course, he did come up with the brilliant idea to start making chain games, so more power to him.
