Got it to work. You need to have Fraps in order to have the FPS1 codec, and after that you can still only play it with windows media player. It was pretty cool though, nice effects. Obviously Velsarbor is [insert variable here] times better, but don't be disappointed, Vel is

• times better than pretty much all amateur games.

Well, it's not done either... and yeah, I don't have 3695465 people helping me like Lasguen (or however you spell the maker's name) did.

EDIT: OMFG!!! YOU CALLED ME AMATURE! I KILL!!!! :p

[Black Massacre]

Wow, that wasted about 22 seconds of my life watching some rpg guy kill like 6 other rpg guys.    

[Meiscool-2]

Its not at all what the gmae will look like but the battle system will be like it. Only problem is Ill need a lot of help because it will be tough. The main point of the game is fighting+ story of course.

I'm curious to see you make somethin like that that's 'good'.

As for the video, tat was pretty cool. My only problem was when he threw it it looked like it became a giant star.

A boring screenshot to prove that I've been doing something. It isn't finished. The poses aren't done, The smoke and lighting effects aren't in there. I need to fix the text box. Boring stuff like that.



If you want the fire, it's not that I don't want to give away, I just set it up in a wierd way because I use chipsets instead of charasets. I'd be glad to give them away if I could.

It still has all 8 fluid frames ripped from FF6. I love you Animget.

By the way, I'm having trouble making the first town not boring. Since I loved the colors so much, it's gonna end up looking like an old design of mine.

Not this map but similar.  Palm trees and everything. :p


It does have some nice rare chipsets from Bahamut Lagoon to make up for it.

Nice inner. I've always loved that phono-graph from FF6. What's with the weird wall thingie on the left side?

For anyone that liked my one intro thingie... here's a way better one, better lighting, actual plot, text, war, and small file size. It's one minute in length, and the midi-studder in the middle is because fraps wouldn't let me make a vid more then 30 seconds long. Also, sometimes the vid might get distorted, but I'm sure you know that's because of the compression and not the actual game.

I think you mean the fire. Maybe I should go all the way outside the walls with the fire like in FF6.

The phonograph is from Bahamut Lagoon. They do look alike. :p

BTW, I played Velsarbor. It owns.

I feel like a noob because of it.

EDIT
I did a lot of work, and this version of the town was the best looking to me. Whatcha think?


In case you're wondering, yes he is standing on the roof. If you can get up there, you can walk on the roof. If you're wondering what those railroad things are for, you'll see. They're important.

[Pixelmaster]

another mockup, this is how I would hope for it to look. And I've decided not to give moving unless I made it like tactics.

[I Have a Sandwich]

In all honesty, mock ups are worthless in a thread like this.

[Pixelmaster]

I know I just want my game to look like that but I dunno how. Im a noob with RM which is why I asked for help.

For a screenshot topic: mapping, color coordination, their excitement level, and how much they reveal about your game are how the shots here are judged.

It looks okay, but it looks a little too plain. For a battle system like that, you should overload the screen with HUD's and stuff. Also, the red over the red bar is a little hard to read.

To make it look a little better, I'd try this. First, get these two programs Ultimate Paint, and Graphics Gale. They're both free downloads. Ultimate Paint is DAMN useful if you don't have photoshop. Graphics Gale can Antialias fonts and wording well. These two will be your best friends when making mini-menues if you don't have a professional program.

Next, since there isn't much going on in the background, I'd put the enemy's information in the upper-left and your info on the upper-right.

For a screen like that, what will impress people the most is how you display the info. That's because so far, you've just got a fancy background and some fire emblem sprites. Anyone and their mother can do that. If you can make a cool display  beside that, people will be impressed.

3 posts and no town comments...Is it bad or something? I didn't put in the people or the SFX yet. Give me closure god damnit!  :p
