I think that comes with the chipset :p If not, then it's a charaset.

Lol, it came in with the chipset.  I made the windows into events and used a switch to make them windows with light when it became night time.  In the next version of the demo, there will actually be light radiating from them.  Thanks to the charset Meiscool sent me.  ^^'

cool, looks awesome ^_^ (i'll have to see if i can find some or make some, it adds in as a really nice effect to games that seperate night and day ^_^

Well, about two and a half weeks since I last updated, and I just thought it was the right time to do so.  So, let's get on with it.

So, I've been doing alot of everything lately.  Going back and forth from map to map, scene to scene, fixing up small errors, and adding more things to add to realism and experience.

I've added a new section to Serpent Cave, with a Mini-Boss before Sklizardas (Serpent Cave Boss).  The whole scene is really cool, and it involves the mysterious language of my game.  

That's right, I've added a new language into the game.  It's basically an old, dead language.  Like a Latin language but in the CD world.  Get it?  Here's an example:

"Sesevesen swasans asa swisimmising"
^I'll give spoilers to whoever guesses what that says first^

Yeah, that's the language (no name yet) and it's used by people who were from Old Kelevor/want the new Kelevor to become the old one.

Oh, as many of you know, I lost alot of stuff from Chapter 2, previously...well, I've begun to redo that and it's coming out great.  I hope remember it all, lol.  :S

Well, not much else to say.  things are going smoothly, and production rate is increasing daily.  Hope everyone is still interested and still fans.  
Oh, and here's a screen.........XD  I couldn't resist.  :p

Seven swans a swimming.

[Meiscool-2]

If you take out the first and third letter of each word....

"eevesen wsans s wsimmising"

I think I win.

[Linkforce]

Thanks JP.

Kirby wins.  Ask away.

An odd language. Very odd with so many S ...was that really necessary? It sucks that you lost a major part of Chapter 2 but doing something a second time might bring up new ideas and fix some problems if there was any. You should know that muché

As far as the screenshot is concerned...all I've got to say is that I'll write 'Mosey' but never say it out loud.

[Linkforce]

Hm...you raise a good point.  I might edit the language a bit.  Throw in something else and/or move some letters around to make it an actual language.  xD

[Swordmaszter]

YAY! at the update. I almost pissed my pants when i saw the topic alive again!

but yah, as usual things are lookin great! Sux about Chapter 2, but like blackskullwarlock said, it could be better 2nd time around!

Keep up the excellent work

[ZeroKirbyX]

I suggest instead of just making up words as you go, make the whole language. In my game, I have a notebook filled with words for writing Dei' Chak. Certain letters when next to each other are combined, vowels change the last letter, etc. It makes it cool to have a new language instead of modified english. Well, the dwarves speak a mutilated german dialect, but still! XD

Ok, I have some news that is bad now...and could become worse.

My computer, my main computer, is out of commision.  That is the computer with my main game file on it.  Last night, it just dies.  Bang, gone.  It just shut down and wouldnt start up.  My dad unplugged it and is going to send it to his friend to get rid of any virus that fried it.  Now, while this friend is cleaning it up, it might delete my Rm2k3 and all of the recources and stuff.  I added sooo much more stuff to it since the one I posted here, and if it gets deleted...well....then it might be a very long time until CD returns again.  

I can always download the one I posted here, but it is so old compared to the new one that I had.  So, if it gets deleted, CD may be over.  I don't think I can do all that work for the third time in a row.  So, I'm going to hope to god that nothing will happen to it.  I'll be crushed if it's all gone.

2 words: CD Back-ups

[aboutasoandthis]

     The same thing happened to my game 3 times! A worm ate everything I had saved up. It felt like the end of the world for me. Did I give up? No! If it does get deleted, don't quit! Take this time to write out the storyline. You already know the characters, you have a general idea of your world, and based on what I've seen, you have a lot of support behind you here in this site. Instead of quitting IF it gets deleted, just think of it as a chance to make it better.

When did this forum get new smilies?
