Undecided Destiny

[Moosetroop11]

Oh wow your characters are all children and teenagers. I love the way some of the bios mention events that happened 'a long time ago' in their past. Like, perhaps they made a promise in kiddy school?

That's my big critisism, I mean, a 21 proffesional warrior that joined when he was 12? A 10 year old working part time for the TDT?

Characters should always be the focus of the rpg, so I suggest re-thinking them a leeetle.

[I Have a Sandwich]

Yeah, age is a big deal. DOn't be afraid to make em older. In reality anyone going on a massive quest would most like be late 20's mid 30's.

Well during their journey 4 years do past by between that. So in the ending Hero does become a 19 year old. I decided this to be able to be able to give them enough time to develope and grow strong.

Or how about Hero is 18 at the beginning and 22 at the ending. How do you think of that?

Besides isn't Zidane in ff9 16?

Ok Iam just having a really hard time finding characters which is just about my final step to releasing screenshots or demo's and it's kind of pissing me off. So if you have any chara sets that matches my characters personalities than you are welcome to post it on board. If you generous enough you are welcome to even make a chara set and post it. Okay.

But if you wouldn't mind I may post some screenshots with my current RTP characters. And soon I may give descriptions of a few villains and a few more NPC's.

[GreatNghiaHang]

 Please don't turn off yet.

These are some screenshots of my Undecided Detiny currently in RTP version. I know I should release part 1 to 5 in a more edited version but the demo will be in RTP due to a few problems which hopefully will be fixed.

Although I am thinking of releasing a non-RTP version of the Demo. And when I fix things up I will re-edit the title, chara sets, face sets and battle chara.

The characters and battle characters are RTP, so that's kind of a pity. The tile screen isn't realy impressive either, sorry. I think you have a quit good story, plz don't mess it up because you used RTP's

[GreatNghiaHang]

Well the title and battle charasets was just for precaution but I'm not planning to keep it because I am not intending to keep the RTP. But I know we were supposed to hand out screenshots earlier so this is why.

And sorry about not being able to post screenshots earlier for somepeople.

PS: I have to thank crossfire for the non-RTP chipsets.

Atleast the RTP use is good. Definitely may want to consider switching to non-rtp. The battle looks boring, sorry. RTP battle graphics just make me yawn. :-/ Your story isn't bad though, and since this is your first game I think you're off to a god start. Here's a few tips.

Find a different title screen. It's simple and easy to find one that's untitled and then put your own title in with paint.

Save your screenshots as .PNG

Change the age of your characters for a few reasons. It's a major cliche, it's unrealistic, and young characters tend to be bitchy and whiny annoying characters.

[MrMister]

To answer your question, yes, Zidane is 16.
But he isn't exactly a hero. He's a protagonist antihero.

[GreatNghiaHang]

Ok so the search for non-RTP characters are making progress but I also need to find facesets and battle characters to work them.

Now that my demo (RTP version) is complete I will hand it to you guys once I find out how to put it on the net. So when you try it please do try to imagine how great the game will be with non-RTP.

[GreatNghiaHang]

At long last the first demo of Undecided Destiny is released. The game is RTP so try to imagine how great it would be if it weren't. Ok?

The game kind of starts slow with only one question in Hero's mind but soon builds up after the demo. Oh and I couldn't find a sprite for Hero when he was young.

The demo takes about half an hour and even for me it's quite challenging. Yes the enemies are far weaker than you but after a few battles you may become exhausted.

The Boss of the demo Minotaur kinda has a stradegy behind it and even when I knew it I only defeated it 2/3 of the time. So enjoy and send me your reviews either they are criticisms or compliments.

I played a few minutes your game and then I already was bored . It's to cliché in the beginning to still be intrested. Also, you said that this is only a RTP version and that you will update it later. You should have updated it before you brought out the demo   .

I'm sorry, but I have to be honest. The game didn't impress me much(even though the musics are good), try making it less cliché and replace the RTP's, that's my advice.

[GreatNghiaHang]

Yeah I said my game starts slow. The beginning is always the hardest part but later on you get the feeling of the plot. And possibly connect with some characters.

Also as we are speaking I am finding non-RTP chara sets for Hero and Itami. So the replacement is making progress.

PS: so by a few minutes how far exactly did you go? Ooops I forgot to remove the save games.

Seriously though.....I took a course on writing when I was younger.....and in the first paragraph of any written story, If you dont "hook" the reader, its going to suck...and most people wont put effort into finishing the effort.

Smae goes with an RPG.....


If your story starts slow, then maybe try a "Flashback/forward" in the intro, and flash to a part of the story that has alot of intesity....maybe a part that would be Confusing, but really intriging....Like somebodys death....a dream.....a battle.......and then slowly drop hints as to what was happening.....this will compell the player to push through the slower parts, and then even if your graphics suck butt, youve still got the player "hooked".

Ill download your demo, and see if I can think of a suggestion or two.

[plightofthepureblood]

Or not. For some reason its not giving me the option to download.
I dont sign up to services for a one time dl either.....

And it seems like its a pretty large file for being a demo......

Do you have a bunch of voice files in there or something?
Have you deleted the resources you dont have a use for?
Im especially not downloading a file thats 80% unused RTP.....
I already have my own, 100% unused RTP.
