This is the first game that I've ever released so it's not perfect but it's not bad either. I made this with rm2k3 as several games I've seen so far are made with.. Well, here we go.
Story
The story takes place right after Kingdom Hearts 2. Sora, Riku and Kairi have finally returned home after their long Journey. Soon after they get a letter from King Mickey stating that there have been reports of Keyblade Worriors in the different worlds only these Keyblade Worriors have been causing destruction. The king says that he will send a gummiship to them and that they are to meet him at Disney Castle, however, who they find inside they gummiship shocks them.. The two "familiar faces" that bring the gummiship to Sora, Riku and Kairi tell them that Twilight Town has been overrun with Heartless and Nobodies so they travel there to save it before heading to Disney Castle.
That's basically how the story starts out and basically is demo V.01. There is gonna be two demos the second one fixing any bugs the first one had including tile passibility which I was too lazy to modify right now. Also the worlds won't look exactly like they do in the game. I couldn't find KH chipsets so I had to do the best with the ones I had and no they're not all RTP chipsets.
Charcaters
Sora
Riku
Roxas
Axel
Leon
Cloud
Tifa
NPCs
Kairi
Namine

Your suposed to zip the whole file dude XD Every thing in the game file including the RT
-
Based on that screenshot, you REALLY need to work on some mapping skills.
And yeah, do as Fish says.
He's a mod.
He knows things ._.
-
OH WHAT THE!? RPG_RT.EXE? Where's the game!? XD!!!
OMG, this is the biggest blunder since the time Trymaker included the entire RTP. Anyways, yeah, do what Fish said. XD

Please forgive my ignorance but how do u do that

Go to where your RPG maker files are kept and rar it.
-
rar it?
-
Select the game folder, right click, archive/zip/WinRAR it.
-
ok it works
-
Nah I'm not mad but it's not like I didn't try, I couldn't find any other KH facesets other than what they have on here.
-
The thing about facesets is that you can use any picture if the character.
Just decrese the size of the face and put it into a faceset template.
Piece a cake.
Also, It's spelled "Warrior" - a fighter with blades usually. an "a" in there.
And guys, this is his first game.
It's the game you make and learn from your mistakes.
Some advice.
For the mapping. Don't think "Pokemon red/blue" towns. You'll need towns with real big houses that actually look like it can have people inside. Huge tall buildings is pretty common in Traverse and Twilight town.
Then try to fill places out with street lights and such. It's all for the games mood and such.
Try to find the Backgrounds from Chain of memories instead of the RTP ones. They are pretty nice and useful - also fit the style.
Learn as much as you cna from this game and make the next one twice as good.
BTW:
Here's a link to a site with loads of KH resources. Maybe you should see if you can find some monsters and faces there.
http://www.freewebs.com/scathlete91/khspritecollection.htm
Just ask us for help if you want to use them - 'cuz you gotta put theim into a template and fix colours and such.
-
Accually, I found some CoM backgronds on here just not all of them including twilight town and Traverse Town is going to look a lot better than Twilight Town for the fact that the tileset I have for it matches it a bit and I have a Traverse Town BG. I'm also going to improve Twilight Town but it won't be in my next Demo cuz you don't/can't go there. I'm only releasing two versions and by the time I release the entire game everything will be fixed including spelling. One request though. If anyone would be willing to find me KH chipsets and/or backgrounds I'll fix the maps and give you credit. But either way I'll try to improve Twilight Town. And sweet char resources but I will need help cuz i don't know how to put things on templates or even where to get templates. Again I am new to this.
-
Nah I'm not mad but it's not like I didn't try, I couldn't find any other KH facesets other than what they have on here.
Try the Spriters Resource. They have a Roxas face grafic I think.
-
Got him. I know this is probably a lot to ask but can someone provide me with some templates and teach me how to make my own battle charas/animation
-
There are tutorials about this.
But to make something very long to something pretty short:
Go to the complete resource.
Search for "Template".
Download template. (There is no real template for monsters - it's kinda easy to do after all. Monster and then a single colour background)
Open template in paint.
(Optional: Copy the template and paste it into a new paint window - because some templates have a set pallette already which can screw pictures).
Open up the sheet with sprites that you want.
Copy/Paste the sprites into the template so that they fit. Also try to make them look smooth together. Like having them stand on the same height so they don't glitch around.
When you are done - you have 2 options.
1. Save the file as a 256c BMP with paint (or any other program you might be using)
2. Download Irfanview from the internet. Copy the intire picture into Irfanview(Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V) Then go to "Image" > "decrease colour depth" > choose "256"(or less if you want).
Irfanview doesn't **** the colours like paint does, so your resources will look a bit better.
And I think that's it.
-
Thanks a lot and I have infanview so I guess I'm good to go
-
Hmmm from all the things I have read about this... It doesn't seem like it's going to go well. But hey this is your first time right? Don't worry about it everybody makes mistakes and such their first time.
Story - I'm not seeing alot of story here, so the story is the Kingdom Hearts people go to Twilight town because two people they have seen before tell them to or something like that?
Characters - Some of the characters you have that are playable sound good but some don't make sence when you play as them.
Like, you say Roxas and Axel are playables. But didn't Axel die at the end of the game? How did he come back? Roxas had become one with Sora at the end of the second game I thought. So how does that work having Sora and Roxas fighting together in the same party?
Resources - So far from looking at the screenshots and such... It doesn't look to good.
The Roxas faceset yes I know you have heard this over 9000 times but it doesnt match the rest of characters.
And if the game takes place after the second. Why does Sora and Riku have facesets from the first game?
Anyway I could go on and on about finding things that don't work with this game. But I won't seeing as how its your first attempt at it. Ever need any help, go ahead and ask me or anybody else that would like to help out. Cause hey I might be making a rpg right now, but you captured my attention with it being a Kingdom Hearts game. Keep it up.

I think this needs to be added to recommended tutorials. Too many pepole don't know how to do this.

For Roxas and Axel, you'd have to wait til I release the full game. Trust me I didn't bring them back without an explaination. Axel is explained at the end of the demo and incase my automatic warp after you rescue everyone doesn't work go back to the first screen of Twilight Town and look for a white monster type guy. Fight him and then watch the scene. I'll fix the warp bug later. As for facesets I'll redo them if I can find good ones and if I do it'll be fixed in demo two.

you did know that you can quote pepole by hitting the "Quote button", didn't you? It's at the bottom of each members posts, it makes things less confusing for readers.
-
Oh heh heh right. Also I found more accurate facesets.
-
OK so here's the thing, I found ,thanks to one of you on here, some excellent spritesheets that includes facesets. Now just when I think I found the Holy Grail I ran into another problem. I couldn't sprite to save my life. Seriously, it may be because of my terrible depth preception but I really suck. The sprites I use now are perfect compared to the ones I tried to make. Now facesets are a little bit easier for me but they suck too. So yeah if you could please help me out it'd be great. Sorry guys but I just really suck at animation.

What do you need exactly?
-
Well for one a KH2 battle chara of Riku as those of you who have played my game can clearly see. Matchable facesets. I found some of KH2 Sora on here so I'm good to go with him. Oh yeah and a Jack Sparrow battle chara. I wanna do the Port Royal world and a Davy Jones monster that I can use as a boss and yeah I think that's pretty much it. Whatever any of you can provide me with it'd be much appreciated.
-
I can do the battle character of Riku if you want. And anything else that you may need (except maybe jack sparrow and port royal.(but wasn't his world allready completed?))

Awesome man thanks!

Update:Alright guys, thanks to Prpl Mage and Fish I have what I need to improve my game some. I am gonna put all of this in demo 1 meaning I'll have to redo it which may take a few days but I'll let you know when I'm done. The facesets now match and Riku now has his KH2 battler. However, I am unable to improve Twilight Town just yet because I have yet to find a town tileset with lamp posts and junk. If any of you know where I can get one I would appreciate it. But anyway, in a few days or so I will have demo 1 redone and in about 2 weeks or so I will have demo 2 released so stay tuned for that. Thank you all for your help and if you have anymore advice I'll hear it. I'll let you know if I need anymore help though I'll try not to be a bother. Thanks again!
-
I have never seen a twilight town chip set on this site or any other. Maybe you could use somthing else that lok a little like twilight town, after all this is your first game.
-
That's what I'm gonna do I just need to find a town with lamp posts.. And yeah I'll get better with time. Trust me this won't be the only game I ever submit on this site. My next project will be my original idea. I just love making games. I don't mind criticism either as long as it's not just flat out mean. Besides I'm going to school to be a preacher and there's a lot of criticusm in that feild so I need to get used to it. But enough about my personal life just yeah I gotta look for a town with lamp posts and stuff. And who knows, maybe over time I'll get more ideas and improve things a lot and this game could become great so yeah I'm not gonna give up on it. But seriously, if you wanna see really horrible games you should have seen the ones I tried to make with vx. And bleh sorry I typed to much again.
-
Well what you could always do if you can't find any chipsets that look like Twilight Town you could always use panoramas or pictures or something like that. You will just have to remember where to put the boundaries.
Oh yeah I just tried that demo of yours today and well......... yeah...... you know where this is heading.
1: the mapping. It's alright but 3/4s of the time I couldn't move around at all for some reason, and because of that I had to open up the file and just keep holding the ctrl button.
2: Charsets. some of them don't exactly match. Like Roxas' charset is way bigger than anybody elses. and Namine doesn't exactly look like what she does etc.. But you can use charas ex to make custom charsets of your choice that will fit in with the rest of the world.
3: The school........ There is alot of things wrong with it. Like first of all, there is pink stuff floating around everywhere for some reason. Is there something wrong with the chipset or am I just on some really bad crack? half the time I didn't know where to go and when you fought the knights or whatever. Sora had a green square around him and he was floating on the wall! I'm just having some drug problems right?.....right?
Well anyway my advice to you is..... come back when I can think of helpful hints =P
-
Um yeah I'm fixing some stuff in the demo so come back and try it in a few days. Yeah I didn't know what was up with the pink stuff either and as for Namine, I couldn't find a matching sprite for her [heads up, I had to do the same thing for Tifa which is why I'm thinking of replacing her with someone else though I don't want to. She has her old FF7 battlechara]. I am fixing the facesets along with giving Riku his KH2 battler. Yeah, I know where this game is headed but I'm still gonna make it nonetheless. Really though I'm gonna ask you guys what you would want. If I do replace Tifa what other FF character would you want. I was thinking about replacing her with Zidane since I found him on here. Again she has her ff7 battlechara, would you think it best if I replace her?
-
Put whoever you want in there as long as they try to match the style of sprites with the other characters at least in battle. Like... Rukia in jump ultimate stars, or a custom link from TSR or something like zatch bell something along the lines of that sort of style.
But how are you going to have the charset style are you going to have them in FF6 style or charas ex style (which is kind of the same thing but more choices) or what?
-
custom link from TSR
Off-topic though this may be, I must know, are we both thinking of the same TSR? The Tactical Studies Rules Inc. TSR? @_@
-
Well, if I do Zidane he'll have his FF9 form since he's not in the KH series but what I'm saying about Tifa is that she will have her FF7 form instead of her KH2 form which some people might not like but either way I'm really considering on leaving her in there since I have all her abilities and stuff done. Originally I was gonna put Vivi in the game as it's primaray mage but I replaced him with Axel. I suppose I could have just put both of them in there but I already deleted Vivi.
-
Off-topic though this may be, I must know, are we both thinking of the same TSR? The Tactical Studies Rules Inc. TSR? @_@
No I was talking about the spriters resource. (I don't think that place that you mentioned has some custom legend of zelda stuff does it?) But I usually don't go there that much since they don't have the things I need right now like sprites inc. does. Ooh sorry for going off topic, Have fun with the project! =P
-
Alright, I finally fixed the facesets and stuff. Sorry it took me so long I've been kinda busy.
-
I seem to remember a website that had a twilite town chipset ripped from the gba game. and I remember seeing a modified sprite sheet of the chain of memories sora to make him have his Kh2 costume on deviantart. sorry, I tried to attach the image but it was to large. try google images.
-
Believe me, I googled exstensively and have come up empty. On the bright side I found a Traverse Town Chipset. Well it was accually a background but I modified its size and was able to make it into a chipset I also did the same with the Twilight Town Mansion gate but alas I couldn't even find a bg of Twilight Town... Also, coming soon, demo 2 screenshots stay tooned!

-
wow really? Well I should have some screenshots up within a few days
-
http://www.freewebs.com/scathlete91/
I think you can find it on this?
-
Holy smokes I accually did it! By changing the size of an eventroom pic I made a Twilight Town chipset. Oh baby!
-
wow really? Well I should have some screenshots up within a few days
yeah. Kingdom hearts is a good game and I want to try an rpg version with more final fantasy.
-
Well you're in luck here because some of your party members are FF characters. Not sure how people will feel about this and I can understand if they get upset but except for Port Royal [if I even put that in there] there will be no disney worlds in this game. Instead I'll most likely do anime worlds like Inuyasha and Bleach or completely original worlds that have no show themes what so ever. I am however planning on putting FF bosses like Kefka and Kuja in the second half of the game.
-
sounds cool. Is ichigo going to be a party member?
-
in the bleach world yes. It's the rescue Rucia saga and I need to find some battle sprites for the bosses like her brother.
