Title: Legenda
Post by: MariaMS on March 24, 2005, 11:45:42 AM

 A newbie here ^^

 Title: Legenda  *or 'The Legend'*

 Story:
     A young mercenary named Sildar returns home from a war. He wants to live happily with his sister Lisa and his sweetheart Shana. But fate has other plans... He meet a young sorceress Aya. She was sent to him through her dreams... and this is a beginning of their journey.

 Heroes:
   Sildar - young mercenary. He loves his younger sister and wants to live peacefuly... His weapon is a sword.
   Aya - sorceress. She's sweet and lovely... until you make her mad. She has strange dreams and she travels around the world. She uses magic.
   Kayin - young elf. Sildar saves his life and Kayin decides to join him... He knows a lot about their goals, but he doesn't speak much. His weapon is a bow and he uses magic.
   Ra'Nuin - dark elf. He joins Sildar's party after a fight, because of a prophecy. He's sarcastic XD He wields two blades and also uses magic.
...and there's one hidden character...

 Features:
   - day and night, some things are only seen by night...
   - you can have more than 4 charas in your party and change them whenever you want.
   - mini games *on 'to do' list :D
   - optional dungeons and side-quests.

 That's all for now. I'll post some screens as soon as I make them.
So... what do you think about my game??

Hmm...Pretty basic storyline....But we'll see.
PS. Are u maybe finnish?? 'cause Legenda is finnish and means legend.
Title:
Post by: MariaMS on March 24, 2005, 04:16:52 PM
I know it's pretty basic... First it was an epic story of an ancient evil that wants to rule the world *well, with some twist ^^; * and then I tried to modify it. And it's actually the intro. I wanted to avoid the 'cliche' story, but... I'll try to post some screens as soon as possible *maybe even today*

PS. No, I'm from Poland.... ;) In Polish 'Legenda' has the same meaning ^^

The chipsets look okay and ther maps are decent. But why are there RTP characters in those shots? Are they just fillers until you find suitable charsets?
Title:
Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on March 24, 2005, 06:46:50 PM
Yeah, the maps look really good, but I hope you rent planning on using the RTP graphics for the final.
Title: Charsets
Post by: MariaMS on March 25, 2005, 01:20:48 PM
I wanted to use tall charsets, but I couldn't find them... they're rare, and anything I found was... well, they were drawn in different styles - Lufia, Chrono Trigger or other. And I cannot draw charsets :(  It's hard to find something that'll match chipsets and other charsets I want to use. Now I'm trying to generate something with Charas.EX ^^

Post by: Leon_1990 on March 25, 2005, 01:41:07 PM
u sure this is ur first game! the shots look good- and even better when u have the new chars

Post by: MariaMS on March 25, 2005, 02:17:57 PM
 Leon_1990 Thanks a lot!! Actually I tried to make RPG game with RPG Toolkit and Verge, but I failed... And when I've found RPG Maker I thought that this time I'll make a game XD

Oh, and one more thing... does anybody knows where I can find nice ice cave chipset? But I'm looking for something NOT ripped from game...
Title:
Post by: Leon_1990 on March 25, 2005, 02:30:01 PM
Will this do? I've used it before and the maps turned out quite good, and with your skill (i still dont believe this is your first rpgmaker game btw  :D  heh heh) it should do the same
Title: More screens
Post by: MariaMS on March 25, 2005, 04:28:05 PM
It IS my first game in rpgmaker :D I found this program during my summer break last year and started making 'Legenda'. And I was learning how to use rpgmaker... ^^;

 Leon_1990 thanks but I already have this chipset ^^; I think it's a little too white...

More screens:

Cutscene in ancient sanctuary... with full party

Post by: Leon_1990 on March 25, 2005, 04:35:10 PM
are you gonna make an english version?
lol i can only speak english and a tiny bit of german :D
Title:
Post by: MariaMS on March 25, 2005, 05:19:51 PM
Of course there will be an english version!! But first I must finish ending cutscene, add some mini games and change a little Dark Forest map - it looks a little empty... And then I'll try to translate everything ;)
Title: Progress
Post by: MariaMS on March 27, 2005, 11:04:49 PM
RPG Maker2k

Maps: 99,9%  *in case I forgot something^^;
Scripting: 95%
Charsets: 20% *I'm still working....
Mini-games: 15%
Translation: 0%  *I'll translate everything after I finish the rest...

...so 'Legenda' is made in 85%  *if anybody likes math XDD

Post by: charaman on March 28, 2005, 02:09:38 AM
the maps are very impressive, it looks good, and I want to play this once you translate it.

linkforce, how can u get a demo of it when it mostly done?
Title:
Post by: Linkforce on March 28, 2005, 02:14:29 AM
well she might want to put up a demo first.  i dunno...
Title:
Post by: blackskullwarlock on March 28, 2005, 02:16:20 AM
This looks like a really fine game! The title is really good and your maps are well-designed. Once the translation is out, I'll be sure to play it.

Today only one screeshot, but this time it's a change party screen!!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/MariaMS/Legenda/Screenb01.png
And, when I was testing my game I realized that I must change it a little... and I still have to do final cutscene & ending. And mini-games.

As for charsets... is there anybody who can draw some clothes for tall charas to Charas.EX ?? I was trying to draw them for myself and... well, it didn't look so good... ^^;
Title: wow

looks nice

Post by: Moosetroop11 on April 02, 2005, 08:04:40 PM
Not bad. I've seen worse than this from more experienced people. Good job. And remember, it's your first game, so if it turns out not so great, it doesn't matter.

Tall charsets are hard to find. Maybe if you sent me some short charsets I'd make them tall for you.

Looking good out there, killah.

Post by: MariaMS on April 06, 2005, 02:16:16 PM
All maps done, right now I'm testing cutscenes and a interesting script 'how to make more than 4 heros have a similar level' - if it will work I'll use it XD
What to do:
  - ending
  - more mini-games
  - credits XD
  - find nice charsets *if the ones I have got won't work....
and test it once more^^;;;
....then translate the game :D

Post by: benosalankelley on April 06, 2005, 03:11:39 PM

Post by: Solid on April 06, 2005, 08:19:41 PM
WOW!!! This is exelent for a noob!

Nice mapping to!!!

Post by: MariaMS on April 10, 2005, 08:25:01 PM
@Solid - Thanks a lot!! *^^*

Sorry for not being here lately... I had some trouble with my computer.
Progress:
  -maps: 100%  *I had to remade some of them...
  -scripting: 99,5%

I found some nice charsets but I'm not sure if they match all of the chipsets... I'll post some screens soon.

  -testing: 50%

That's all for now^^

Post by: MariaMS on April 17, 2005, 06:39:18 PM
I created a site for my game... take a look ;)
http://www.sitesled.com/members/anmidia/
There's one new screenshot with new charsets... not much for now but I'll update it soon.

??!!
Click on 'Enter' and it'll show.... ^^;
Title:
Post by: MariaMS on April 22, 2005, 12:17:37 PM
Update:

I had to remade some maps... and, because of the charsets, I must re-made some scripts... (because those charsets are too big for world map, I must resize them and create a script that will change graphic when you enter it... and because you can change party it'll take some time)
To do:
 -add credits
 -test game
 -and translate it....

and unfortunately I have some trouble with my computer... something with the mainboard, so I don't know how long it'll take.

Visit my game's site!! Soon I'll post some new screens! ^^

your game looks very good i like the night&day thing


Secret Box: its rude to request in someone elses game thread, and its extremly rude to double post about a request

Post by: Neonlare on April 24, 2005, 12:21:17 PM
Mmm, I like the Tall icons, but the arms look (edit) one or two pixles too long, I don't know why, but when i try to edit them to show you, it goes a little strange, as if the arms are stubby...
Title:
Post by: blaze_shinigami on April 24, 2005, 01:11:38 PM
that one Japanese link on your site has good tutorials on making charasets & poses.  you dont really even need to read the words, if you could read japanese..

and i like your screen shots.
Title:
Post by: Secret Box on April 24, 2005, 03:02:14 PM
sorry, i like the game and i think it will turn out great with the things you tell us about it. i love your ideas! :bend:

its just i've been tryin to figure it out for so long so if anyone
could tell me it would be greatly appreciated!
sorry, again! :(
Title:
Post by: MariaMS on April 24, 2005, 03:44:54 PM
@everybody - Thanks a lot!!

@Neonlare - those charsets are not mine.. I found them on Japanese site 'Forever' *there's a link on my site* I just cannot draw^^;

@Secret Box - I've seen some scripts 'how to make party exchange screen'... in Polish or German, if you want I can try to translate them and put on my site.
But it'll take some time - my comp crashed, the mainboard is propably broken *it works for now... but I don't know for how long* and I have to wait for repairs.
And because of this my game will be a little late...
Title:
Post by: MariaMS on April 27, 2005, 05:49:09 PM
Screens update!! Unfortunately only on my site^^;
And I translated 2 more scripts, 'party exchange example' and 'how to change walking graphic' - download from my site :D

Still working *because of that comp it'll take too much time....*
Title:
Post by: Janne on April 27, 2005, 06:59:38 PM
The screenshots are sweet!! But I don't understand anything about the japanese site...where are the resources??
Title:
Post by: SaiKar on April 27, 2005, 07:29:59 PM
I looked over it all. Very promising stuff. I can't wait until you have a translated version ready.  :)
Title:
Post by: MariaMS on April 29, 2005, 09:53:05 PM
Thanks!!! *^^*

@Janne - I described on Links page how to get to resources... It's a little tricky ^^;  *and no, I don't know japanese XDD*

@everybody - I finished the Polish version of my game!! Now my friends will test this and, after everything'll work, I'm going to translate this into English. But it'll take time, because of my comp.
Title:
Post by: MariaMS on May 06, 2005, 08:32:52 PM
*kick*
Sad news... My game propably won't be finished because of lack of betatesters... so... If I find even one interested person then maybe I'll get to work, but now.... ^^; Sorry..... ;_;
Title:
Post by: Neonlare on May 06, 2005, 09:34:06 PM
OH! I'll Beta Test!
We must not let this die!
