My new game, Journey of Ages(Name may change)
This is the story, and Charachter Bios:
It is the story of four friends who discover that the world
they call home is dying.They stumble across a "rift", where
their floating continent is splitting in two. The western
side appears to be sinking.....
On the eve of his 16th birthday, the main hero, Aiden,
is charged with the task of finding Procne, the Wind
Demon, who, hopefully, can restore the continent to
it's original floating state.
Aiden becomes angry at his charge, and flees the city,
and in his haste, falls from the continent, his three
friends, Silena, Will, and Natasha as well. They soon
find themselves in a foreign world, in which the seas
are drying up, and and Aiden's home not heard of.
Aiden knows not where he is, but it seems the fate of
two completely different worlds are in his hands.....
And if he should fail, he may never find home again........
Aiden:
Age:16 Class: Guardian Weapon: Sword
Aiden is about to turn 16 when his
world is changed by a quest he is
forced into. He is normally shy,
cannot talk to girls except his
good friends Silena and Natasha.
Strong, but gullible.
Silena:
Age: 15 Class: Seer Weapon: Gloves
Silena is graceful, pretty, and smart.
She is the peacekeeper of the group,
the glue that holds them together.
She is known to have visions of the
future at inconvienient moments.
Will:
Age: 17 Class: Archer Weapon: Bow
Will is sarcastic, the comic relief.
He is, however, loyal to a fault,
and rushes into situations without
thinking, very often. His carelessness
puts the party in many tight spots.
Natasha:
Age: 16 Class: Healer Weapon: Blunt-swords
Natasha is a Healer, who wields bizzare,
dull swords, that she stabs with. She has
bad aim, and is sometimes condescending.
She is brave, and wouldn't hesitate to
throw herself in front of a train for
those she holds dear.
------------------------------------------------
Tia:
Age: 19
Tia is a good friend of Aiden's, as well as
Silena's cousin. She helps the party in
ways that they do not realize.....
Talour:
Age: ???
Not much is known about this mysterious man,
only that is a master Time Wizard.
------------------------------------------------------------
Screenshots coming soon, along with Demo!
I;m new to screenshots and demos, any tips on
that or the game will be greatly appreciated!
This pic may or may not work...It's the title....
(http://E:/Title.png)
-
Why an earth would they charge someone so young with saving the continent?? 0_o
Got any screenshots?
-
Woah this sounds cool! I hope to see a demo!
-
Wow...thanks Lukas! That's way better than i had hoped! This is my first posted game,but I've ade hundreds before, so it's not
(that) noobish, i think anyway. I have a demo, but there's no combat yet, it's just the first six maps or so, and im extending it to include your landing on Encarna, the not-floating continent. Pharne is the floating one. And Moosetroop11, they charge him at his young age, for two reasons. One is a plot twist. The other, I can't work with 25-30 year old chars. I only just turned 14 myself,
i find it easier to work with young charachters. Hope that wraps it up. Screenshots i need help with, but demo im working on!
BTW, know any good file-sharing sites so I can post the demo, and can someone explain to me how to put in screen shots? Mine show up as a red X.....
-
Actually I now have a demo, but no monsters or fights yet. Yes, the charachters ARE supposed tp have 1 HP, 0 MP, and 1 on all other stats, that changes later, as a part of the story, but not that much later. One good feature of my game, i think, is that you can save anywhere unlike the final fantasy style saving many people use, nothing against FF, which I love, whereas mine i more like a Golden Sun saving system. I don't know how you add day and night systems, and stuff like that, I would LOVE to find out though. Here is the
link:http://www.4shared.com/file/52507208/4ec0686e/RPG_RT.html (http://www.4shared.com/file/52507208/4ec0686e/RPG_RT.html)
Never mind i guess, it says it can't be opened....
-
my only beef is all the Names are Well over used in almost every RPG ive ever played.
Tia...
Aiden (Ayden)
And selena
-
I've only seen Selena before, so I used Silena. Small compensation, but it helps. I can't figure out the demo, I put it up but I when I download the game is says "File cannot be opened". ANyone know what's u wth this?
-
You have to upload the screenshot files first to a site. I used Photobucket.com. Then all you have to do is just copy the IMG address or whatever below the picture you want, and paste it here. It should show up.
For the demo, you have to upload that too to a site (It takes forever though...) I used Megaupload.com. There should be something called a "download link" around there after you uploaded it, and all you got to do is copy it, and paste it here.
-
Thnks Muraiko! My demo didn't work though, but the link does. I'll try megaupload, see if that works. I'll have some pics in my next post, hopefully. I feel dumb, how do I take a screenshot? I tryed F10 but it didn't work, as it does for other games.....
-
I have some screenshots!

-
Game demo!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N2IECPR8 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N2IECPR8)
OMG it says this one doesn't work either...
-
If people complain about bad names just use a Imput name command
(If that confuses you P.M. me)
non-teh-less the screen shots show promising results...
but after reviewing the demo I found it to seem like a prorotype everyday rpg( no offense)
It just seems like how everyother RPG turns out... But that battle screenshots look convincing
and ouuta what i seen ( Not many RTP!!) nice job on it
:*: 5/10
-
That reminds me, facesets and charsets from Lunar Legend?
-
No offense taken at your comments Felix-O. It will get better, i'm soon adding a HUGE plot twist, and yes the chars are from Lunar Legends. I promise to improve in any way possible.
-
a few things I love in RPG's
Multiple characters
Interaction enviorment(breakable objects)
Bank system
Weapon creating( EXMP: 2 woodsticks, 1 chunk of metal 3 nails = Hand Axe)
-
Material/weapon creation is in my game, you can find one of three needed materials in the Ridge. Later on, you can get two more.
There will be MANY breakable objects, ex. breabale vases, make-your-own dungeon entrances, so on.
-
6 /10 :*:
pretty good then!
I'll finish more of the demo :P
-
Demo is kinda short. Ill make a longer one when i get the chance. your game is ool though :*: 9/10
-
The screenshots are very nice. I like the original charsets.
-
Hey it's Zerlina! Story of Pallis is great! I LOVE the fcesets their great! I wont steal them dont worry.
-
I kinda like the battle screen shots too. (The characters look really cool!)
Maybe you should think about adding in more characters, though. I'm not saying you HAVE TO! It's just that, if you make more characters than you can hold in the party, it makes the player be more strategic, so they have to think, and plan out who would be useful in battle or not. That, and also it gives more of an option to pick favorite characters. Of course, that's just my thoughts. You dont' have to, if it like, interferes with your story or something. Just a suggestion.
-
You should edit the Lunar Legend charas.Other than that i like this game and look forward to
playing the demo once you get it running.
-
Muraiko I like that idea, but someone would have to send me a thing explaining how. I've seen one like FF6 charachter selection screen, if someone can find and send that, I would much appreciate it, and add another four charachters, so you always have a reserve party.
Also more battle pics:
Will's Venom Trap:(http://www.freewebs.com/journeyofages/Venom%20Trap.bmp)
Silena's Lightning Essence:(http://www.freewebs.com/journeyofages/Lightning.bmp)
Fisherson, edit, and change colors, so on? I'm not great at spriting.... But i'll do it at some point. Thanks for the input. Tomorrow im putting up another, more updated demo with two dungeons, a few bosses, and one optional boss.
-
Actually, I now have 3 more heroes in my possession, i'll have pics in a minute. They all appeared in the story demo, but will join the party later. I just don't know how to set up the switch chars thingee.
-
There's a tut. called Easy Party Swicther by RM2k3_Rulez.
Try looking at that.And if you send me your battle charas i can take a look
and see if i can edit the or post a request at my request thread.
-
Thanks Fisherson! Here are the oter three in battle:(http://www.freewebs.com/journeyofages/Telour,%20Tia,%20and%20Darsor.bmp)
Darsor:(http://www.freewebs.com/journeyofages/Darsor%20Face.PNG)
Tia:(http://www.freewebs.com/journeyofages/Tia%20Face.PNG)
Telour:(http://www.freewebs.com/journeyofages/Telour%20Faceset.PNG)
Their charset:(http://www.freewebs.com/journeyofages/Telour,Tia,Darsor%20Charset.PNG)
Darsor is in my opinion the best charachter in the game. He's fast, his class is Gladiator, and his ATK is best in game.
Tia is a Vicar, and has "Buffs", skills that raise stats. Best supporting charachter.
Telour is a Time Seer, and his skills hit only 50% of the time, but strike for massive damage when they do.
-
How do I get to the tut.easy char swap thing? Where is it, on ths forum? if so, can you send me the link?
-
God damn Tia's!!
Ill never get away from them!!
-
I'm not keen on your facesets, but if you like them, don't change 'em.
Other than that, the screens look better than I thought they would! Looks like you know what you're doing, anyway.
Good luck.
-
Ha! RockJohnAxe, no escape.... And Moosetroop im not proud of th facesets but they match, and they're best for my charas out there, so I have to put up with them.
Also, today i'm releasing an updated demo!
Here are some screenshots of the first dungeon:
Maze-like area:(http://www.freewebs.com/journeyofages/Nos.bmp)
Boss spot:(http://www.freewebs.com/journeyofages/Boss%20Area.bmp)
Screenshot from boss battle:(http://www.freewebs.com/journeyofages/Doom-Eye.bmp)
Demo will be released later today, I have to fix some bugs and whatnot.
-
I LOVE that Dungeon your using!To get the tut use the search it's at the top of the page.
-
Hey thanks! Updated Demo!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N2IECPR8]
Fisherson, it does include the dungeon!
-
i'm downlaoding it now.I don't have to have played the first one right?
-
Whoa, I tried to download it, and I got some RPG_RT thing. Did you upload the entire folder? Or just that file?
-
Muraiko you can only upload the file, not the folder. Besides the RPG_RT is the demo, play it. Fisherson, you do not have to play the first one. It's an updated version. The next demo, will continue from this one.
-
But it doesn't work. When I double click on the RPG_RT thing, it just says it cannot be opened. How is this working for everyone else?
-
I dunno worked fine for Felix-O. Are you runnin it on an XP laptop?
-
ummmmm..I did a virus scan and your game dissapeared....I re-downloaded it and...ummmm..I doesn't work now.....
I have no Idea how it worked.....But you have to put your WHOLE folder into a zipped folder >,< cause I barely got to play
T__T
:ROFL: I accidently put your RPG RT into another project.....thats how It seemed to work
LOL So i nevar accualy played your game :eyes:
-
Well, that makes sense. Your folder holds all of your graphics, audio, resources, and maps. Without those files present, the game shouldn't work at all. I don't know if you can't upload folders or not, but compressing it into an archive first, and then uploading that works real well, that's what everyone basically does. To do this just:
1: Make a copy of your folder
2: Right click on it, and choose the option that says: "add to [your folder's name].rar
3: Wait for it to be done compressing, and then upload that file up on the internet.
Now when people download it, they'll just have to extract the files out, and your entire folder will be there, and the game should work.
-
thats howz I did it ^__^
-
Your demo didn't work..You need to put the whole file in there just like Muraiko said.
-
OH that helps. Felix you threw me off! Not blaming you though. Gimme a sec, ill have it fixed guys.
-
Actually if you giv me an hour, I can have a demo through Chapter Three done. It will end with the Procne Battle.
-

The DEMO! THE DEMO! IT WORKS!!!!
HERE IT IS!!! http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VDX49GD0 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VDX49GD0)
There are still glitches, and typos. Bear with me please.
-
yasy finnaly demo
-
Im not going to lie.
i not a big fan of that battle system.
But the game is still pretty damn fun!
-
Lukas, you're a fan of the Tactical Battle Systems, like Fire Emblem and such?
-
no he like ABS and RTS like war-craft(RTS) or Dark cloud(ABS) for example! :blush:
I like TBC but not Rpg maker2k3's....unless you use battlers that are the same as their characters
(Final fantisy 3 for example) or battle animations as your characters ( The alpha force )
but oh-well
-
Oh. I have an ABS system for my XP Project, it's the one from Tales of Phantasia, but VERY VERY VERY few resoures work with it. I'm thinking of getting rid of it. I'm going to try to make a Tactical Battle System for my XP Project, and maybe put it into this game as well, but later.
-
I played the game,and didn't like it.You have good ideas and Graphics,however
your story needs work.
-
In a weird way, it's about time someone said smething besides, didn't like the facesets, battle system, etc, no had taken a stab at the sory itself yet. Although, Fisherson, I doubted it would be you who would say it. Eh, it's my first game, i'm still learning.
-
right now I have a virus that won't let me play screen games(unless induced by CD) so no game maker nor rpg maker games
are working...and it's disabled my friends Taskmanager somehow
-
That sucks. Right now my Desktop has a virus so that it freezes after 2 min, so im using a crappy laptop that the left and right arrow keys don't work for RPG Maker. The right key does nothing, and the left key shuts down the computer, while in a RPG Maker program, so I rely entirely on you guys to help me make sure my game works for directions other than up and down.
-
Get one of these. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_antivirus_software#Freeware) Do a bit of research on the one you want, and make sure it's not spyware or a virus itself.
If you're willing to pay money to solve virus problems, go out and buy something.
I'm using Sophos; its badass, and is usually used by companies for security, but only can be bought in sets of like 5 or 2. If you're willing to share Sophos with someone else, I guess it could be OK, but otherwise, I can't give out much else help.
-
Hey thanks. I'm willing to give it a shot.
-
I'll have new demo up sometime next week, or sooner. Right after the Procne Boss, the story splits, and you can follow either
Aiden, Silena, or Natasha's story after that, but the story pathes merge later on, when one of your charachters is replaced. As the prophecy says, one is attuned to the element of treachary, which is pretty straightforward. One of them is a traitor.
-
Guys guys what do I do! I was bored, and I got hit suddenly with a bolt of ideas for a new game, and I started a new one just to put my thoughts together, and now that one is better than this one! What do I do??!?!?!?!
-
do a checklist:
1: is my new idea better in my eyes, or others?
2: can my ideas work together
3: Does my new idea contridict my project all together
4: am i happy with this new idea
-
Hmm. Here's my answers.
1) Mine, and probably others.
2) Yes.
3) Contradict THIS project? Heck yea, it's a new project that is, in my eyes, MUCH better than this one.
4) Yes. It's fun to make, and it focuses less on mindless combat, like some games, and will focus on things like culture, personification, and ideology. The charachters are much more human than Aiden and them.
-
Well it sounds,good.So i say give your best,you can do it!
-
I'll just tell the charachter bios, no story or anything, and tellme if it doesn't sound better. Alright, a little story, but just in the bios.
Azrea Erhne:
(http://www.freewebs.com/journeyofages/Azrea%20Face.bmp)
Age: 22(Suprisingly, he can look 22, but at times look older).
Weapon: Tomes
Class: Mage
Title: Tactition
Azrea is a tactition for King Reyold, and has lived his entire life sheltered in the walls of Castle Reitna. He has no ambition, and is near apathetic,(no emotions). His eyes are those of an older man, and he has seen countless bloodshed. Though he serves as strategist for a peaceful kingdom, many innocents have died because of his plans, though not by his intent. He barely knows how to communicate beyond giving and recieving orders. He leaves Castle Reitna only to protect Leena.
Leena Pharne:
(http://www.freewebs.com/journeyofages/Leena%20Face.bmp)
Age:21
Weapon: Bow
Class: Archer
Title: Princess
Leena is a cornerstone in the events that follow the invasion of Pharne. She sees the invasion as a chance to escape the constant cycle of cotillions, dances and parties. She is the rebellious princess of the story, and is not used to taking orders from Azrea, though she reluctantly obeys, knowing her life is in his hands. Her heart longs to just fly awayfrom her worries, but her mind knows it is impossible, so she follows her heart, rather than her common sense, at times. She is the only one who feels sympathetic for the horrible conditions the invaders live in.
Dornel Raist:
(http://www.freewebs.com/journeyofages/Dorne%20Face.bmp)
Age: 22
Weapon: Sword
Class: Knight
Title: Guardian
Leena's sworn protector, he would dive off the edge of the planet for her, but, only if she asked nicely. He has morals, though few, and Leena finds them scewed at that. The two soon enter a "love-hate" relationship. Dornel is the strongest ally, and he holds the fact over Azrea's head. When Leena is in danger, the duo of Azrea and Dornel is unstoppable.
Innes Valentine:
(http://www.freewebs.com/journeyofages/Innes%20Face.bmp)
Age: 19
Weapon: Staff
Class: Healer
Title: Cleric
The only male healer in Pharne, is often teased by knights for doing " a woman's job". The attitude towards women in Pharne is bad, and Innes silently hopes Leena will obtain the throne soon, but only so he won't be ridiculed any more. He is not fond of her, Azrea, or Dornel, though he admires Dornel's power, hoping to someday be stronger than him. His gift in healing is beyond any medic, and he is one of seven-teen in the world who can heal with no medical supplies.
-
I think this one is better... More charachters, 22 playable, but these are the most important. Yay 5 pages!
-
I like the new Characters,they look very thoughtout.I would like
to hear your plot soon.22 playable?!Thats alot!Make sure you can pull that off first,man.
Don't just add filler characters whan you do this.Other than that,if you need ideas about
chacters and stuff PM me.
-
22 is easy when I've got: charset generator, easily re-colored and modified facesets, but the battlechars will be a headache, but I can handle them. ( Just add tylenol). The plot is basically:
Pharne(my signature country name, in all my games), is at war with the invasive Krona. Hunger, thirst, and fear have driven the Kronan's to invade their peaceful neighbor, and their superior numbers drive the Pharnen's back. Azrea and Leena are in the capitol of Pharne when the Kronan's attack, and Leena seizes her chance to escape from her dreary life. She drags Azrea along with her, as they flee Reitna(the capitol), in search of freedom.
The story follows Azrea, in his quest to find answers. He has, (as posted earlier) lived his entire life sheltered in Reitna, and is very prejudiced against the Kronan's, thinking them barbric, and inferior. Leena is sympathetic towards them, and their two different ideas challenge eachother, leading them into numerous fights, and neither will give in to the other's way of thought.
Azrea and Leena travel at first through Pharne, as Leena soaks up the freedom and joy of her land, until it is captured. King Reyold sinks deeper into depression, thinking his daughter, Leena, was killed by the Kronan's, and refuses to defend his kingdom. Pharne is soon over-run with Kronans, and for her safety, Azrea and Leena flee south, into Krona, the one place the Kronans would not search for her. Leena vows to rescue her country, as Azrea vows to re-discover life. Their goals seem intertwined, and wherever one should go, the other will follow.
-
This whole idea slammed me in like, 3 seconds. I HAD to get it out, you know? I stil think it's better, but hey, I can't exactly abandon this one. But Fisherson, yeah, charachter ideas would be very good, i've got like, seven charachters done.
-
Actually, I can post the opening scenes, and one battle, as the games prolouge. Ive got the prolouge done, I just fixing typos and such, i'll put that up everyone to compare.
-
Heres the opening scenes and one battle. I know the battlechars are bad, but it's my first attemptat spriting ANYTHING.
Here's the link to compare:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2Q1938EJ (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2Q1938EJ)
It's a .rar file, so it opens with WinRAR, for those who don't know.
-
nice job flamehawk!
-
The storys good,i like it very original.
Keep it up i'm looking forward to this.
-
Yay! It's better than the first one! Yeah, i'm gonna finish Journey of Ages too, but my new focus is on the other one.Thanks guys!
-
U never showed me that game! =O It looks kewl.
-
Wow topic kick.
-
This forum is over. Dont reply.
