Title: A Game (Untitled As of now)
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on September 04, 2004, 06:44:34 PM

All my other ideas sucked, were cliche, or supposedly were already made and never finished....

I am making a new game and I hope it's not too cliche so your input would be apprieciated.

 Story (Not all as in I don't want to spoil it)
   There is a war going on between two continents, Valderia and Conious. A sinister force known only as 'The Dark One' takes this as an opurtune time to 'visit' the temples in these continents. For there are powerfully magical orbs in each temple (7 in all), 3 of which are on these continents.

   Xavier who lives in Valshen, a city of Valderia is called upon by unknown forces to visit the nearby temple and there he learns his destiny.

 Characters

Name: Xavier
Gender: Male
Weapon: Sword
Species: Human(?)
Class: Myrmidon


Name: Alisa
Gender: Female
Weapon: Rod
Species: Human
Class: White Mage


Name: Vincent
Gender: Male
Weapon: Rod
Species: Human
Class: Black Mage


Name: Marcen
Gender: Male
Weapon: Bow and Arrows
Species: Elf
Class: Archer

 Features
-Maps for towns, world, etc...
-Save on world map by calling a creature named Moodle with a flute
-Skill learning CMS (Maybe)

The following Screenshots are
1-Xavier's Dream
2-Xavier's House
3-Valshen
4-World Map

Sounds good but the moodle and the flute is kinda familiar... Maybe FF9, moogle and moogle flute?

Post by: Ruler of the Dark on September 04, 2004, 06:53:12 PM

Exactly, This is what I need, comments that help.

I actually forgot about that in FF9.

Maybe I can make it so to save on the world map to use an item or spell?
Good? Bad?

Spell makes it weird and i've never seen any spells that lets you save the game so i think it's an original idea..

Title:
Post by: MrMister on September 04, 2004, 06:56:42 PM

A spell to save. There shouldn't be anything called moodle in it.

Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on September 04, 2004, 06:56:47 PM

Maybe that wouldn't work because then whats the point of not having 'save' in the menu and having save points?

What do you think I should do?

Hm, well the game looks great so far, I like the system set :D

a map in the town??? cool!

Post by: Sephiroth rocks on September 04, 2004, 07:04:28 PM

You could make the save system so you'll have to buy an item to save (like a book or something). Of course this should only apply to the worldmap 'cuz savepoints still works best.

Post by: linkline91 on September 04, 2004, 07:13:57 PM

hmmm.... how about in a tent? U can save and recover

Title:
Post by: Zin The Maker on September 04, 2004, 07:14:58 PM

yeah, that sounds like the best idea. You can name the game Moodle! :p

That would work, the save points  are books...

Tents are overused in games, I don't want to use them

What are you using ot make it?ANd the char graphics kick butt :D

Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on September 04, 2004, 07:27:22 PM

I am using rm2k3 to make it and the charsets are REFMap

Title:
Post by: peklo1989 on September 04, 2004, 07:31:01 PM

I know (maybe) how to make them work in the world map only.

Make the item a switch. Call it anything you want...
Make a common event. Auto-Start that works on that switch.
Make a new switch. (On the world map) Then branch. If [On the world map]- ON then call save menu and ELSE make a message or whatever you like.
At the end turn the switch off.

It should look like this:

Common event: (Call the event anything you want) Switch: ????

<>Branch if Switch [XXXX: On the world map] is ON
  <>Call save menu
: Else handler
  <>Message or anything you want
: End
<>Switch Operation: [XXXX: On the world map] OFF

I hope this worked..

Post by: VahnGrave on September 04, 2004, 07:31:01 PM

Hmmmmmmmm... I was wondering something about REFMap.Is it like a generator or a set of a bunch of chars and whatnot?I saw it and it said something about people in japan loving REFMap.

Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on September 04, 2004, 07:35:30 PM

Oh I didn't need the coding, I know how to do it already

REFMap is a like Roco or Mack & Blue. Infact it is Mack and some other people. It's not a generater, it's just name.

Post by: peklo1989 on September 04, 2004, 07:37:22 PM

Oh ok... well if someone didn't know (it's the easiest way and weird if someone didn't knew that...) it's here then..

Title:
Post by: VahnGrave on September 04, 2004, 07:37:49 PM

OK.I thought so, i need some better looking things for my game...

You should check mine out sometime, once i get screen shots and all, it'll be perfect

Title:
Post by: Sephiroth rocks on September 04, 2004, 07:43:24 PM

Just one prob w/ that one. You'd be able to save on all maps. This one only allows you to save while at the worldmap:
Make a new common event, set it to be autostart and set the trigger to a new switch.
<>Variable Operation: [####:Map ID] set hero map ID
<>Branch if Variable [####:Map ID] is equal to (The ID your worldmap has)
    <>Open Save Menu
: Else Handler
    <>Change items: (Name of the save item) 1 add
    <>Play Sound: (Failure sound effect)
    <>Message: Only works in the field!
    <>
:End
<>

If you noticed, Xavier's Species is 'Human(?)'
He isn't actually human but he doesn't know it yet O_O

His race is called Phoenix. Your probably thinking "But phoenixes are birds!"
Well, In my game, Phoenixes are a race of humanoid people with wings and magical powers based on fire and darkness. They can hide their wings at any time.

Xavier was found shipwrecked on the beach near Valshen and he lost all his memory. He was around 10 and his wings were hiden then. He then grew up in Valshen thinking he was human. The Phoenixes are in hiding because of the war so he never sees one

And about the flaming birds. If you saw a phoenix up in the sky flying with wings surrounded with fire, you wouldn't want to hang around long enough to find out that it isn't a bird.





EDIT: Does anybody have any Idea for a title?

Title:
Post by: Neslein on September 04, 2004, 08:13:17 PM

This looks good. What features do you have else?

Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on September 04, 2004, 08:21:21 PM

Hmmmmmmm... depends on what you take as features.

But the map thing for towns and such has an arrow pointing to where you are so you don'y get lost :D

Title:
Post by: VahnGrave on September 04, 2004, 08:51:19 PM

Idead for title...

Phoenix child?
Descendent of the phoenix?

I don't know.
something like that.

Title:
Post by: Neslein on September 04, 2004, 08:54:17 PM

You are genius. I mean... how did you program that?!
Well i see features as:
Do you have mini games?
Monster breeding?
CMS?
CBS?
And things like that... :)

Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on September 04, 2004, 09:04:18 PM

Well, there will be minigames, and maybe a CMS for skills. I might put a CBS for when you participate in the war. But no monster breeding.
I'm not that far in the game so I can't show you many screenshots of the features.

Hmmmm.... I don't really like those. sorry

Its ok, normallly, i would be able to come up with something, but, right now, my mind is on other things.

Post by: Nandez on September 05, 2004, 06:05:28 AM

Its nice to see an original game since lately there have been so damn many copies and ripoffs appearing.

Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on September 05, 2004, 02:28:11 PM

In this game there are spells (Duh!) and spells like Cure and Fire have stronger variarions. What's a way I can show strength in the names?

Not Cure, Cura, Curaga. It's from ff9

I don't like Cure Level 1, 2, 3. Sounds Bad

Hmmmm..... What can I do?


I was thinking up a Title and how about Phoenix of Light
It would fit the plot nicely.

Title: Storyline update!
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on September 10, 2004, 12:32:12 AM

After getting his sword and being confronted by a guy with an axe, Xavier has another dream. This time it is a figure of blazing light telling him to go to the temple nearby. He goes and sees a mage (Vincent) fighting off creatures (minions of the evil guy).
Then a scream is heard. Vincent temporarily joins your party and you follow the scream to a see a cloaked figure attacking a girl(Alisa).....

NB: this is the water temple Xavier is in.
