Title: Sword of the Angels
Post by: CoolPlayRPG on January 28, 2005, 08:58:31 PM

first of all hi to all of you.

well, i would like to present my game to you, that i'm making with the rm2k3. but first i have to say something that might be important to you.

as you can see in my profile i'm from germany. of course it's crazy to present my game in an english forum, but i want to figure something out. i want to know, if i should translate my project into english, so not only german-speakers can play it.
at the moment all texts on some screenshots will be german. but i will translate it to you, so you can understand it.

then.... let me begin with the presentation!

story:

we are writing the year 2009. 2000 years ago there was a terrible war between the black and the white angels. goal of this war was to specify the humans on earth, as you could do it with the angels (black=evil, white=good). as the leader of the black angels, satumael, and the leader of the white angels, ismael, fought each other, a sword appeared at the horizon. it shone brieghter and brighter so nobody could see anything. after a while the light was gone and the sword, too. but with it all white angels disappeared also from the earth. with this the black angels automatically won the war, even if it wasn't a fair victory. as the consequence of that, the humans have to do what the black angels want - up to today. but is there a chance to let them disappear? or is there no more hope?

characters:


name: jason
age: 17
weapon: dagger
magic spell: fire
strength: defense
weakness: attack, magic, mp


name: reyka
age: 17
weapon: sword
magic spell: water/light
strength: attack, initiative, hp, mp
weakness: defense


name: drake
age: ??
weapon: scythe
magic spell: thunder/darkness
strength: attack, magic, hp
weakness: defense, initiative


name: gina
age: 16
weapon: pistol
magic spell: ice
strength: defense, magic, initiative
weakness: attack, hp, mp The forum could NOT establish a connection to this image: null  

features:

- own battle system
- own menu
- sub-menus to learn spells, technics
- sub-menu to upgrade the stats of the heros
- many options (textbox, battlemusic, etc.)
- weapons grow through weapon-level-ups
- every hero has a creata (summon) that can be called when hp is
  lower then 10% (not available in demo)

screenshots:


here you can see the selfmade battle system.
translation:
angriff = attack
zauber = magic
techniken = technics
objekte = item
türmen = escape

i can't show more screens this time, because i want to change my server soon. but if you want to see some (older) screens visit my homepage: www.swordoftheangels.de.vu (if you can handle with the german language^^),


so, this was my presentation. hope you liked it. if so, i may translate it into english. the demo of SotA is actually to 99% finished. so it wouldn't take me a long time to finish it^^ and a translation shouldn't be so hard....

greetz,
CoolPlayRPG

!!! if there's something wrong with my english - writing or expression - please don't be shy to tell it me !!!

Cool, if you can keep it together.

First of all, welcome to Charas.

I like the CBS and the story could be good once expanded on.  Although, some people may not like that you are using characters from chrono trigger.  Good luck with your project!  :)

Yeah it would be cool if you would make a translated version of this game eventually. If not, I know a fair amount of German, so I may be able to understand it a bit anyway :)

Title:
Post by: CoolPlayRPG on January 29, 2005, 07:41:41 PM

@ ES2005:

of course i will keep it together! i've sworn that to myself that i will never ever give it up, no matter what comes^^

@ barnsalot:

yes, the story i posted here is very short, i know. but it's not really the real story. it's more a prolog. i want to keep the story a secret, because i want to have some big surprises in the game^^

well, that i'm using ct-charas might not be liked by some people, but i like them very much and they match exactly the imagination i have of them. if someone doesn't like them in my game, he shouldn't play it - so easy.

@DragonBlaze:

yes, your right. it's the same when i'm playing english games^^ but i hope that some people outside of germany like my game, so a translation would be worth all the work...

greetz,
CP

Very nice and impressive CBS you got there, Coolplay. :D
But I hope you do realize that all those characters are from a famous game called Chrono Trigger?

Title:
Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on January 29, 2005, 09:44:47 PM

The Story is really good. I think that is pretty good too. Not to mention, theres quite a few german speakers on this forum so maybe you could give them a beta version and let the tell you if there's any bad translations if you do decide to translate it.

Plus, you shouldn't use those characters. People will think you're unoiginal because they're from CT... maybe you could get someone to make you some look-alike resources of them, if they match the characters so well... Just my opinon.

Title:
Post by: ES2005 on January 30, 2005, 05:29:43 PM

Okay. I have seen many a game which is awesome, but gets abandoned for a crappy reason. Can't wait to play it.

Title:
Post by: CoolPlayRPG on January 30, 2005, 08:01:33 PM

thank you all ^^ i'm very happy that you're looking forward to play it. but one thing about the charas: i can't just change them, because i used them in nearly all battle animations. it would now be hard work to redo all that with new charas. so i will keep them. maybe you like them, when you're playing the game^^

and now.... here are the promised screenshots:

the status of the demo is now by 99%, so it won't take much longer^^

and the site of my game has been update. so it would be nice if you colud have a look there als.

greetings,
cp

Nice screens :)

The only thing I saw was in that battle system. You only had 3 characters in your party, and yet there was a 'box' for a forth character. Its not that big of a deal, I'm just really picky on stuff like that  :)

As for using those chars, I don't blame you, they are good chars. Because their ripped from a REALY popular game though, people may downgrade your whole game. If I were you I'd give Chrono Trigger mention in your credits for the games characters.

Hope to play your demo soon  :D

thx.

yes, the 'box' is always there. even if there's only one character in battle. this may not look good, but if you could see how complicated the battle system is, you would understand why i can't do it otherwise.

and about the charas: yes, i will mention them in my credits.

hope to give you a demo soon^^

i would love to play this game but i can only speek english so you will need to translate it for that to happen, the battle sistem looks BRILL, so, yeh, good luck with it and welcome

It looks decent, but it would be that much better if the characters were yours.

My thoughts exactly. I was going to learn german... I chose Russian instead. и я нймногa пуниймио Порусский... Dammit.


You speak English Very well, by the way.

Also, it's an Italian forum ;)

Title:
Post by: Fortet on February 06, 2005, 02:25:53 AM

This is an Italian forum? Then why is everything I see in English?
Oh and, AWESOME GAME! I LOVE the the graphics.

Title:
Post by: SleepAid on February 06, 2005, 02:50:28 AM

Because there's more English speaking users.

thank you very much^^

well, if you can't speak any word of german.... then i guess i will have to translate it XD
well.... as i can see here, there are some people interested in my game, so a translation would be worth all the work. but first i'll have to finish a german demo before i start with the english one. hope it didn't mind you^^

wow!!!! i see you're very satisfied with my work on the game! editing the characters is one possibility, yes, but as you can see, i already edited drake's cloak. and i edited gina's clothes an hair. you can't see it on any screen, but next time i will show you gina. i changed her hair colour and her clothes colour. also i "cuted" her trousers. but you'll see next time.

what can i say.... wrong decision you made there^^
thank you for your compliment about my english. even if i found some mistakes in later posts.... but this is from writing too fast.

italian? really? oh.... but there i agree with Fortet....

Great game you got there. And don't worry about the characters. If they're all from the same game, they all look like they belong. I admit when I first saw the game the first thing I noticed were the CT characters, but the game is YOURS and yours only. remember that your game can be whatever you want it to be.

Title:
Post by: CoolPlayRPG on February 06, 2005, 08:27:20 PM

@ Moosetroop11:

finally someone who understands me!!!

@ all:

here i've got the promised edited characters - drake and gina - shown in a (nice) grafic^^

 

see? i have edited the charas, even if i only edited two of the four....

I wanna play jus because of the screens.

Post by: xenocide on February 07, 2005, 01:06:10 AM

How did you get that nice battle system? How do you design it? And I like the HP bars.

how i got the battle system? i "programed" it with the possibiltys the maker gives: common events, normal events, battle animations...

the design wasn't that hart. just a little inspiration and a good drawing program and.... finish^^

This must be the first game I've seen on here that actually impressed me.  I have to admit mine will probably not be as impressive in other people's eyes, since I insist on using the DBS, mainly because the CBS of other RM2K/3 games has left a bad taste in my mouth.  However, yours looks promising.  Keep it up and it should go well.

@ ChocolateKinesis:

thank you for you're good replies^^

hope ya like it^^

Post by: Elysium on February 08, 2005, 09:10:29 PM

This looks like the best rpg i have seen using rm2k3. Your ability far exceeds mine, certainly at this moment in time. I'll definately play this when it's released. I'm not fully fluent in German but i'll play the German version until an English counterpart is released. Keep up the good work.

of course i didnt't draw this sword by myself, if you mean that^^ for this my drawing skills would be too bad.

i found this nice little graphic and put it on the background. not a really hard work, eh?

Nice Battle System you got there! The default RM2K3 system can get boring so I was wondering, did you use a tutorial to create it? Or did you made it totally from scratch??

Here you go -.-'

thank you^^

to answer you're question: when i started with the rpg maker i needed a tutorial to create the cbs. since i started rpg maing (4 years ago) i learned more and more how to create my own cbs. and finally i did it! my own cbs was done! with no tutorial nor script.

i think it's just the learning progress with the rpg maker that gave me the ability to create the cbs by my own. of course i'm very happy, that i got it without the help of a tutorial^^

does this answer fit to your question, or are you planning to write a pn again? not that i'm not liking it, but if you ask me here, then all members here can read it, and that would mean that i'm not asked the same question again and again, you know?

Sure does. Been searching for a CBS tutorial on the internet but they either don't work or are Adventure Battle System.

I guess I'll have to fool around with RM2K3 to create one, tho it will take a while.

well, i had the tutorial for the rm2k. so i learned everything while i was still using rm2k. because there is nor big difference between rm2k and rm2k3, it might help you as well. you just need the rm2k. would you like to have a tutorial? but remember: i only can give you german ones^^

good news for all of us^^

today i gave the beta version of the demo of SotA to all my beta testers.

i have an realease-date for the german version of the demo by now. it'll be the 26.02.05 or maybe the 27.02.05.

so i hope you're all looking forward to it^^

Post by: CoolPlayRPG on March 05, 2005, 09:09:47 PM

well, well, long time not seen me here, i guess^^

since the last time, i really kept on working on SotA. i released the german dem by now. and i'm already working on the translation for you!

by now the translation is at about 60% done. i will make a signature, where you can see more details. but translating ist goes very fast. hope i will be able to give you the english demo at the ned of the month.

wish me luck!

The demo is pretty impressive... luckily I can speak a little german, so could kinda get the jist of everything.

But yay! Translation!

Title:
Post by: CoolPlayRPG on March 19, 2005, 08:31:18 PM

sry, but i have to tell you, that i canceled the demo an with it the work on SotA and the translation.

i canceled it, because the demo didn't match mx imagination of how it should be, and if i don't like it i can't just keep working on it.

but i already started a new SotA. i will open a new thread for that.

hope you'll like it^^
