For those who are fans of the original Gauntlet Series. I'm going to be making a Gauntlet fangame on rm2k3, and the characters will be obviously Charas Members.
So the question is, do you want to appear in this game? If you do, please make a charset of you and a faceset. (I do not need battlesets due to there will be no fighting.)
The maximum number of characters will be 8.
If you want to be in the game send your charset and faceset as a reply to this topic only :D
Thanks
-
I think this should be in "games".
Anyway it sounds interesting. Since I'm an attentionwhore I might join if there is any room left when I get home.
-
What will the battles be like? Like the original gauntlet or something?
I'll join though.

thx Prpl Mage. Yer, it will kinda be like the original Gauntlet Series. I've developed a Health bar system, so I'm pleased with that. There will be different 'worlds' with different monsters for you to kill. The objective will probably be to save the queen / princess.
-
Here's my charset. I'll get you a faceset later.
EDIT: Added Faceset.

Wow. What's with the sudden interest of making a Charas-based product? Haven't we tried several times before and failed? Oh well, I'm sure we will someday have one. Maybe someday soon.
Think I may want in this, but I'll probably submit Foxy instead of Chicken Man. :/

Keygia. He has no expressions. Also in one of the frames, he has no arm :D Feel free to ask for more of him, if you need it.
-
thanks guy for the face +charsets. I also like your slowpoke Lucas haha (or is it not meant to be that)?
-
Well, while I think this is a little ridiculous, I'll go ahead and participate.

I wish to play the part of Death.
-
u forgot face set. and nice charset heh
-
u forgot face set. and nice charset heh
Well, given that I'm requesting to be an enemy, I didn't figure that a face set would be necessary. However, if you really want one, I can whip one up in no time. It's pretty much just a semi-circle on a box with eyes, after all.
EDIT: Done. I opted to go for the creepy stalker style. I think it suits me.

It does. I still think your creepy, female, alter ego is following me... *looks around room* I blame Ed, he created it...
Anyway, here is the charset...

And the faceset, which I put over some FFT one.

whoah nice animé, soz Archem, misread ur original post :D
-
It does. I still think your creepy, female, alter ego is following me... *looks around room* I blame Ed, he created it...
I have a female alter ego? Sweet!
-
I've done a basic character selection event. I just have a small query? Can the event <Show Choices> be copied so you can have up to 8 choices as 1 <Show Choices> has up to 4?
-
ok, cheers Lucas :D
-
Well, It's not that hard to make a cms where you can choose between characters... There should be a great amount of tutorials to aid you in this. If not I guess I could try to explain how to do it. But I'm not so good at explaining codes :/
And also why is this in All of all. It's clear he's making a game. I'm not trying to minimod or anything (yes, I know that's exactly what I'm doing) I just finds it strange.
-
some person on msn sed to make it in All and All... Anyway I think 4 characters is fine for a selection :D
-
Then have more characters as enemies. Like me.
-
It does. I still think your creepy, female, alter ego is following me... *looks around room* I blame Ed, he created it...
Oh snap! I've been found out!
-
Hey Ed! That there avatar of your looks mighty sexy!
Wait...
-

Thanks Felix, on the faceset which is yours? haha I cannot tell. hah
For anyone else, no more charsets and Facesets... 5 Characters is enough. kthxbai
-
Some screenz, these are prior to Felix joining :D
(http://www.loftyd.net/images/GV.PNG)
There are RTP Horses there to make sure that the HP bar was working, the treasure chest was the MP bar validator, at the time I hadn't implemented that.
(http://www.loftyd.net/images/GV2.PNG)
This screeny is intended as a double parody. Firstly as it's a map rip off my KJ series which Dominicy played and the stage is called Knight's Dungeon.
(http://www.loftyd.net/images/GV3.PNG)
Testing the lightning when you press shift, the MP Bar changes too :D
-
I'll show the main world later today, im ill and resting haha
-
I will show the main world map, haha but I wanna show these !
(http://www.loftyd.net/images/GV4.PNG)
(http://www.loftyd.net/images/GV5.PNG)
The monster in his cart travels toward the pillar and then kaboom! he gets out... :D
-
Looks good, lightning have never looked so good before it joined purple.
-
This isn't a dis to your game. It looks good so far. And no dead Growlithes. I'm intrigued.
I'm just wondering why there are so many Charas-related games.
Is Charas really that awesome? I don't see this a lot on other RPG Maker forums, the whole each-of-us-is-a character-on-Charas thing.
It's kind of cool, and interesting to see how people decide who's in and who's out.
Nice screens so far, by the way. Keep at it. I adore finished games.

That's because we are so damn awesome. We leave for some while but we can't help coming back here.
And Charas-based stuff is great because it appeals to the members of charas(us).
I've had my own charas-based projects. But because the lack of work I've decided to not even tell the community about it.
-
thanks Phayre :D That means a lot to me hah.
-
This is looking pretty interesting, I have to admit.
oh, and avoid killing growlithes, or Phayre will attack you... Srsly.

Hey, my little turtle beast has made his way into his third game :)
-
ye im using all ur monsters JET, cos there so much nicer than RTP ones...
-
Cool, nice to see my stuff go to some use.
But, some of them may have some messed up walking animations, as not all of them were meant to be mobile.
-
I am large and in charge! All is well!
-
did i also mention Archem, you are a "General" on the game. You summon a massive army to try and wipe us out...
-
That's fine. I was totally satisfied with holding the position of Death, but that's just fine, too.
However, I'm starting to see that my sprite isn't jiving well with the general art direction, so I may need to make a new one that fits better.
-
OK, it's official. I need to make a Phayre sprite.
Or find Fisherson's version. Or. . . hmmm. . .
-
Phayre, I'm still watching my back. For what, I'll never know...
-
Dude, this looks pretty sweet, You know there's ways to make this multi-player, well 2 player, but requires unneeded amount of Variables,
-
Felix: Thanks matey, I had a look at 2 player stuff, but ye you're right in saying it needs lots of variables...
Archem: Your ghost sprite is ok, but if you want to make enemies, thats fine. all I need from you is to either have Band A or B
Band A: When monster is killed 1-10 HP is taken off you.
Band B: When monster is killed 25-70 HP is taken off you.
So I know how strong the monster should be :D
-
Why is this in all-of-all?
-
No one have moved it yet.
Or I suppose this was some kind of recruitment thread to make people join.
-
Oh yeah. I'm the mod. Forgot about that.
-
How did I not notice that? o.O
-
No idea
I was wondering that myself...
-
I would like to participate in this. Here's a sprite of normal David, since my new outfit and hair are still in the works. Aslo you can use R2-R4 if you like, he was in the set when I made this and I didn't feel like uploading antoher set.
(http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll106/cadeskywalker10/NewDavidD.png)
-
Wow looks really good mate :D never played gauntlet before but thsi does look interesting
good luck to you hope you get it finished :) i wish i knew about it soon xD
-
Oh, I forgot to mention, I have those sprites if you need them, Phayre.
-
Bluhman, your action after such a long period of inaction has resulted in me slowly sawing my hands off with a very blunt, very rusty hack saw. Should I bleed to death or die of infection, I blame you.
-
Cheers Fisherson, can I has a faceset too?
No more Charsets/Facesets will be accepted from this point :D
You are free to supply monsters :D
-
Just a lil update, instead of you only having lightning powers, you can choose between: Lightning, Fire, Water and Wind. They all cost the same MP which is being reduced from 40MP to 20.
-
Looks like Pacman wants to play :D
(http://www.loftyd.net/images/GV6.PNG)
Accessible by cheating.
-
Ahhhh run Archem ruuun!! hehe sorry got a bit carried away there, still looks good cant wait to play it
-
heh, me thinks it'll be done certainly by next Friday...
I've done another cheat char. If you name yourself "Mr Quick" (as shown), you can run super fast. Press 1 for Increase, 3 for Decrease Speed!
The pacman char is done by naming yourself "Pacman) (as shown).
-
Looks fun, can't wait to play it!
-
You make games CRAZY fast, dude.
-
hah, i'm just fast with a computer, despite i'm ill... I doubt I'll be doing anything today on it
-
hah, i'm just fast with a computer, despite i'm ill.
I'll? Do you have a medical condtion.
-
ah, well don't over do yourself our you'll get computer AIDS :Plight:
-
haha I dont think I'll be getting computer AIDS, my computer is protected :D...
i'm recovering slowly. I'm nearly better. Been doing little over the week, just adding a new skill and a new area with Killer Fish!
-
I do need to finish that new sprite I was making... It looked so much cooler, too.
EDIT: And it exists. Definitely looks better.

K, thanks Archem, will be replacing the old ghosts with these! haha

-
I agree ∞% with Red Fox's statement.
Thanks Red Fox :D haha
I want to become a voice actor actually. I can do many voices haha
-
My accent is to bold for me to do voice acting apparantly ;/
-
:'( where you from?
-
Im from scotland in uk :D
-

I hope you like it

I've had a go at a making my own Main Menu, but it's not like you can use items or anything. It just tells you if you want to save the game and tells you what magic type you have and your MP, HP :D

-
Doesnt look to bad mate, just need to centre the "Stats" and "Magic" title a bi
-
Thanks. I've remade the menu slightly and have properly centered the Stats and Magic titles :D.
-
Good stuff :D
whats a wolf codex?
-
Wolf Codex is the equivalent of a save game slot on rm2k3.
-
Ah hehe i thats cool :P
-
Just an update on the progress of the game. It's nearly finished. I've added lots of places where you go underwater. And I need a faceset from Fisherson. I've tried PM'ing you but no reply :'(
-
Thanks Felix, on the faceset which is yours? haha I cannot tell. hah
For anyone else, no more charsets and Facesets... 5 Characters is enough. kthxbai
JstinCase Its the top left one >_<
Glad to see this is still WIP
-
yep, thats cool. Thanks Felix, its been on a hiatus, due to me having exams in coming week. After that I will have some free time and be able to realise it.
-
Okey, the game is done, I just want to give a brief outline on what everything is/does.
**Controls**
Arrow Keys : Movement
Shift : Activates Magic (Uses 20 MP) , Choice of: Fire,Water,Wind or Lightning. It is possible to change your magic ability at the Forest of Heroes House.
0 Key : 360 Heal Warp (Uses 80 MP)
1 Key : Temporary Speed Boost (Uses 80 MP)
^Note: Do not use the Speed Boost when you have less than 80 MP, it seems to go funny, as soon as you get MP, it will stop.
**Items**
Wolf Amulet: The main item you must collect on your journeys. Don't sell these as you need to get 10. There are only 10 located in the game!
Unknown Treasure: One of the items you must collect on one of the stages.
Key: Open's doors to access some stages exits.
Door (with keyhole) : If you have a key, collide into these and it will open up. If you choose the wrong doors, then you will have to start again!
Arrows: Yellow/Green Arrows tell you when you can either swim or jump in these areas.
**Other Info**
14 Stages
Two months of hard work
Thanks to people who joined :D

Heres the ZIP file for those who want play the game that don't have RM2K3:
http://www.loftyd.net/GauntletVRTP.zip

I shall put up my review of this later, once I actually play it, and possibly beat it
-
Graphics: The mapping is sub-par, to say the least. The better half of the game I was just following a fairly non-linear path, hoping I didn’t leave anything behind. Hell, I didn’t even realize there was a world map until I took a look into the game’s database to refresh myself for this review. It was fairly easy to lose yourself on the map, unless you were paying close attention to where you came in and out of, there was a painfully good chance that you’d forget there’s even a doorway there, at times. This is particularly a problem at the very beginning and the very end, when you are leaving and returning to the Forest of Heroes.
2/5
Sound: There’s a lack of it. Well, more like any variety to it. Off the top of my head, there’s the lightning, fire, water and wind magic sounds, healing, attacking, swimming, and haste. The voice-over intro was a nice touch, but if you read too quickly and skipped to the next, you were stuck with the voice overlapping itself with its next line. Not much fun, listening to upwards of four different voices at once because you read too quickly. The music was good enough, wholly from the Gauntlet 2 soundtrack, if I’m not mistaken. I have no problem with that, other than the same problem I had with the music when it was from Gauntlet 2, and the same problem I have with the sound in this game. There’s no variety. It gets tiring after awhile – notably when you’re humming the songs to yourself while you play.
2.5/5
Gameplay: The meat of the experience, despite the bland flavor it might be. Every time an enemy dies, a message informing you of how much damage you took interrupts the game. That might be bearable if the entire messages would appear at once, rather than scrolling the text. I’ve always hated that you can’t just skip messages with a keystroke – but I digress, as that’s more a problem I have with RPGmaker, not the game. Regardless, I’ll heal when needed; I don’t need to be told how much damage I’m dealt, just to be sure I remember. Almost feels like the game is babying me, but that just might be a symptom of my cryptic way of thinking.
Speaking of healing, I played with a gamepad, which the glitch spell-casting might be credited to in this case. I’d say I have a justifiable distaste for the spell system, though, when healing costs thrice it’s alleged cost of magic, because the first two times the coding didn’t pick up on my incrementally more frantic button-pressing.
2/5
Difficulty: The game is a cakewalk, as long as the semi-inept user interface decides to have mercy on you and register your frivolous “I NEED HEALING NOW” punching of your keys. Really that’s all you’ll need to beat the game – a just-right-timing button finger and a bit of luck. The rest is smooth sailing – and I don’t like it when my victory depends on the game’s random-number-generator damage calculators.
1/5
In closing: It was fun, albeit increasingly confusing experience. Best played side-by-side with a friend, seeing who can finish first, but even then it could have survived a good polish. A good enough, thankfully short arcade-sort of game, weighted down by glitchy spell-casting and and a cumbersome battle-system.
2/5
-
...
The Just: It's presented fairly nicely, though it's lacking... I love the outdoors army smashing.
The Me: I swear... That mountain range at the end was just to make whatever playable experience was left in the game unbearable... Honestly. Oh, and that Knight's cave place, one key... So much as touch the wrong door and it's game over due to inability to leave or open the right door.
The Jerk: If I wanted to play a game about running into things, I would've picked up something fun.
