The game goes in chapters like a comic, and i want to draw and put comic frames into the game for cutscenes. Hopefully I'll get a demo done before I go to basic training (I'm in the reserves) this summer.
well anyways like comics it's also have flashback/future chapters, which means i can change the main characters' looks very much and just change secondary characters altogether, to have a variety of looks/people.
I'm doing custom facesets, some custom charasets some monsters are gonna be custom, and I'm working on some custom battle characters too.
Unleash Vol. 1 Chapter ONE
Animum Liberare (To free the spirit)
STORY: It occurs in a time before the invention of cars, but after Guns, if that's any help in understanding it. This is the first part.
It's starts when an Explorer, Millie, is paid to find a certain artifact for a Client. After retrieving the artifact and giving to the client.
Crap happens and an evil entity is released, then it goes all cliche (if it hasn't already) and you have to kill it.
I'll post the char bios when I get the rest of faces made.
feed me with feedback please!! thanks!!
If anyone wants to help
I need help with making magic effective ( i know i suck)
and maybe links to CBS tutorial sites later on (because I hear scripting is troublesome and i don't wanna trouble anyone)

Millie: Main character (well they're all really main characters)AGE: 19
SEX: Male
CLASS: Explorer
WEAPON: Gloves, -Spoiler, well not really-
INFO: Millie is a sort of veteran explorer/archeologist who's commissioned to find an artifact. When things take a turn for the worse because of the artifact, being the kind of guy he is, he sets out to make things right.
Rio: Next in Line of Importance (i guess)AGE: 16
SEX: Male
CLASS: Breaker- A type of sword wielding warrior who can mold his energy (i didn't want to say ki) into elemental form. They have a guild somewhere (I haven't really made a map) in a secret (you guessed it) location (obviously you get to go there anyways).
WEAPON: Swords
INFO: Rio was brought up by Millie, (they were both orphaned) and treats him like a brother. Growing up he became a blood member of the Breaker's Guild, and learned their ways. He helps Millie throughout the adventure in his party, as a guide, and also he randomly attacks him.
Kail: AGE: 38
SEX: Male
CLASS: Ex-Naval Admiral
WEAPON: Guns
INFO: Kail isn't as close to these two, but just as important, as he's the boat captain (yes, you start with a boat). he isn't in the party much, though. His character isn't really gonna be developed in the game, so I'll tell you a bit about him now. He's a nice guy and gives really important clues.
Isabell: AGE: 32
SEX: Female
CLASS: Vet. Explorer
WEAPON: Knifes, shuriken, boomerangs (throwing things)
INFO: Although she's more experienced and worldy, Isabell ended up being Millie's underling in this assignment. She's more than pissed at this and doesn't feel that it's right. Isabell does know right from wrong though, and when this certain incident occurs she feels that it's also her fault. Thus Isabell goes with Millie as well.
Jean: AGE: 26
SEX: Female
CLASS: N/A
WEAPON: Hybrid Sword- A sword which has a hilt made of a magical staff. didn't want to call it a magical sword because one would think the blade was the magical part.
INFO: Co-Commisioner of the expedition.
Seth: AGE: 13
SEX: Male
CLASS: N/A
WEAPON: N/A
INFO: Jean's little brother. terminally ill.
Aokiji: AGE: 33
SEX: Male
CLASS: N/A
WEAPON: The Crossblade
INFO: Jean & Seth's indentured servant.
Caedere: first Evil thingyAGE: N/A
SEX: N/A
RACE: God/Deity/Entity
WEAPON: N/A
INFO: Your basic evil spirit seeking to cause chaos. If you're gonna get past the first part, this is Who you wanna deal with.
Would it be a good idea to have different battle systems for different chapters? I'm only working on chapter 1 right now so i won't worry about it just yet, but feedback is appreciated.
And for flashback and future chapters what should i do about levels? I was thinking that I should have them preset for each chapter that's like that, but isn't that too controlling? maybe I could set difficulty levels, and that would set your levels.
I'm having the items always be with you even in chapters like these, but not money, you'll always get a set amount.
I don't think the skills/magic will be a problem if I'm able to get them to a point where they're not useless, but I'm gonna have diffferent battle chars for flash/fut chapters so they will have different skills, sometimes more, sometimes less.

check em out... they are double sized though
i have the reg chara & the battle charas for these guys made and edited
some things i have to add.
millie's reg-char is custom
millie's battle character is an edit by me of Coruja's Yusuke battle character
I like what Coruja did with that. i might do it a custom remake
Rio's reg-char and battle char are Yu Yu Hakusho Hiei (by Alvaro jose) edits
If need be i can easily custom make Rio's reg-character.
Again i like what Coruja did with the battle character.
Kail's reg-char is a clive edit (see this is why i might redo all these edits)
the Battle character is custom made by me
Isabella is all custom by me.
any suggestions as to whether i should redo the ones which are edited?
do you guys think the styles go together?
I want to get this right before i finish the other 3.
EDiT: SERIOUSLY I NEED THOUGHTS ON THESE THINGS... I MIGHT AS WELL QUIT IF NO ONE'S GONNA EVEN PLAY...

cuz I know millions of ppl want to see it. i mean, just look at all the posts...lol
I'm gonna make the last like 5 character sets tomorrow. then all that is left is the actual making of game, the monsters, magic, battle characters. if i'm not done by May 20 i won't be able to touch this game for about two months.

As it states from left to right:
Seth - Aokijii - Jean - Cadere
they're all custom made. The only ones I'm not happy with are Cadere and Aokiji. Should I make the random npcs? I want to make doctor & nurse types as well as some generic archeaologist looking ones.
Does anyone know of some already made ones? It's apprieciated.
the resize i did has it blurry...

I probably could make a side scroller, like that Comix Zone was said to be. Maybe for another chapter? What would I need to do besides poses (which i found out i could do now)? but I'm getting ahead of myself.

They're recolored-edits I did of some enemies I liked. once I figure out who submitted them i'll edit the post to show who ripped them.
I like to parade around every little thing I do because I haven't done much in way RPG making lately.

I can make battle characters to look like that (if not for the size). in fact, that might turn out to be Cadere's Bchar right there to the far right, but he isn't a playable character in chapter 1.
and I'm not gonna start another game until I atleast get a demo for Unleash made.
Post by: blaze_shinigami on September 03, 2005, 11:42:47 PM
but i'll only give it 2 days. if not I'll find a way. I'm hoping it's simple and someone already knows.

I've done a basic design for these gloves, but they won't look so plain in the final product. I'm just trying to learn about making weapons first.

I used a battle animation for the aura... but the rest is custom. i like it, But i love some critizism on this part. I was wonder if I should get rid that part of and make my own lightining or something.
Post by: blaze_shinigami on September 28, 2005, 10:03:46 PM
I had some good stuff in line to be completed, too.
Maybe i'll get PS CS2 now, though. plus i'm getting a digital tablet soon. then I'm gonna redo the face sets. i'm getting a WACOM Intuos3. i want a CINTIQ...?7? that thing looks promising. But the Intuos3 is completely gonna break me, and the CINTIQ cost like three times as much.
now's a good chance to work on my story/events more though. I haven't posted any screen shots, so no one would know that I haven't done much in way of the actual gameplay.
Post by: blaze_shinigami on October 03, 2005, 11:24:48 PM
oh well at least I still have the resources to put it all together with. I still won't quit.
On a lighter note: i found my other game I was screwing around with before. It had:
Cloud
Sasuke (Naruto)
Goten (DBZ)
Hiei (Yu Yu Hakusho)
Sephiroth (I called him Seth, but it was the same person with the same sprites and everything)
Default RTP Hero Alex (Named Zack)
Default RTP normal man 3 (named Cameron)
Some Narakiri Dungeon Kid (I named him Sheen)
Some other cool looking b-char I edited a Bakura (Yugi-Oh) charaset to use for him.
Cameos & RTP galore... the one reason I didn't actually try to expand on it, and the fact that none of the charaset/b-chara looked alike. plus I got stuck some where in the beginning, where the Hero Zack was was supposed to possesed by a Necklace Seth gave him. I'll post the story...and maybe a demo of what i have, even though the demo wouldn't give you any clues as to what's going on, some other time.
I made some kickass animations for this game. with my skill, I could probably make all these characters over again custom in paint (all I have now *sob*) I am pretty good.
My ultra Naru-Nara-FF-YYH-fan game would be
TEH ROXZORZ!!
