Title: Let's talk Off.
Post by: Felix-0 on May 20, 2013, 06:37:51 AM
So 1:
I have a tumblr.
2: There's a french made RPG maker game using RPG Maker 2k3 called Off.

I made some modifications to the skills.
(For whatever reason. The skills all had the same boring crosshair animation.)

It's so unique and has its own style. For the most part it's great. combat can be dull at times.

Always found it funny how the rm games with these similar quirky graphics styles are the ones that gain popularity.

I'm sure the game deserves the praise it's received for one reason or another, but those graphics are really off putting.

The graphics are off putting. Everything is hand made, that's nice.
But oh god **** no ending stahp please stahp.
I can't think of an ending that left me so hollow as this one.

An RPG Maker game that looks interesting?! I have to try this!

I find the graphics way more appealing than a half-assed rtp look or a game with all the mac & blue resources yet again.

The graphics belie the music. (http://www.rpg-maker.fr/ost/OST/OFF/04%20-%20Peper%20Steak.mp3) Or maybe they compliment them.

This games soundtrack is beautiful.
The enemy sprites are beautiful.
Everything in this game is awesome until the end.

Dude, it's a great game trust me.

Post by: drenrin2120 on May 29, 2013, 05:28:40 PM
God, those puns just failed hard I guess. To be honest, it looks like a pretty good game.

Post by: Felix-0 on May 31, 2013, 09:55:00 AM
It's great. In fact I'm currently working on a fan sequel/spinoff.
Maybe I'll post videos of it on here.

Post by: Momeka on June 02, 2013, 04:26:25 PM
I've downloaded it and played through zone 0, so far I've enjoyed it. I just haven't had time to play it for awhile.

I downloaded it, but haven't gotten around to playing it.

Because that's how I roll.

My old entry for Drak's crappy game contest. Got the link buried in a thread somewhere.

Oh yeah....

I love how a fan topic was made for a random french rm game with (what looks to be) no custom systems, but Prpl made a completely custom game topic (link in his sig) that got relatively ignored.

We're not a narcissistic group here. We basically write off everything we make (as a group or as individuals) as insignificant.

Duh.

Yeah, that's my destiny.

Also, the download link for Sprite for Life is in that thread as well, I knew I posted it recently.

Well yeah, because everything that's made here is really trite, honestly.

Know what other kinds of RPGM2k3 games get famous? Space Funeral. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Videogame/SpaceFuneral) Its gameplay looks like this:

OFF got famous because of Tumblr. It grew a fandom because OFF is mostly 100% hand drawn and all the monsters look so abstract and strange. The landscape is barren, the soundtrack is amazing, and it's just a beautifully composed game. It's more of a story than an RPG. A story that you play and experience. There's no grinding, or requirements to grind. The combat is simple so your average person could pick it up and play. It's also rather short and just so surreal that people got into it and somehow turned it into a fandom. x3

Also just watched that video. Holyballs what did I exactly watch? D:

But OFF does some neat things with pictures, imagery, parallax backgrounds, and events.
It's full of minigames, puzzles, and strange occurrences.

Sure it doesn't have a fancy combat system or custom battle script. But it has everything else pretty much drawn from scratch.
It also makes the player feel a part of it as it addresses you by name.
(you enter your name in the beginning.)

The only custom system it utilizes in combat is a neat little scan system.
I still recommend playing it. :I
It's short, simple, and easy to play.
