Sozora's Labyrinth

[Miracle]

I was thinking of having her slide her legs back in forth, while staying in position. Sort of like a swaying motion.
How's that sound?

Oh, and do the arms look better? ^^

[carmen]

Holy wow that looks awesome! I can't wait to play~

[Miracle]

Hey, so RMN is shutting down That means that almost every one of my images will be erased in April.
So, while I was moving all my pictures I found an update that I didn't post here

UPDATE -- **

Yeah, so, this is a pretty boring but necessary update. The game's going fine, just doing a little bit of mapping. If there are any glaring flaws, or if you have tips for my improvement, just tell me

No events yet. I want all the coding to be reasonably clean, and with running, lighting, all those CMSs and the
ability to use OverWorld Spell Cards in any outdoor map it probably will be a major headache. >_>

Yeah, like, don't hesitate to tell me if some mapping issue comes up, 'cause I kinda need to know ^^


Ulidama's secluded forest chateau


Jean Sozora's house


Armory in the nearby town of Laconia

So, yeah, make sure to tell me if there are any issues with the maps~ Thanks ^^

Long live SL >>b

The mapping looks great, and your animations are good despite your lack of self-confidence. But honestly I'd support your project purely because it's nice to have someone around here with an avatar more girly than mine.

Bluhman. Enough said.

Anyway, the game looks great so far. Keep it up!

?

Anyways. Kana Anaberal is the most awesome fictional character you will ever meet. She might make a really gay avatar, but I honestly don't care 'cause I really like her XD

I'm not one of those amazing mappers that'll make you **** your pants out of astonishment, but I've had some experience with REFMAP mapping. Have a look at the upstairs of Jean's house :

[Natako]

Keep refreshing Bluhman's avatar and you'll eventually see ponies. Pretty pink ponies. XD

(Bluhman is definitely going to kill me one of these days.)

[Bluhman]

Dude, on a whole, my avatar is super manly. :l

[Miracle]

I GOT IT!!!

Thanks guys for the support. I'm going to post a Scenario soon, it'll be quite long, but I kind of like it. I'll need your opinions, though~

EDIT -- OK, you can read the scenario here.

Not posting it on charas 'cause it's pretty long.

UPDATE -- ******

I've been working on the introduction for quite some time now. I'm never really happy with it, so I decided just to move along and plan other things.

The game starts out with a prophetic dream. It shows Jean discovering the mansion, and how ghastly it is.
And since watching Creation's Pass or Fail series of videos, I thought it might also be a good time to ease players into the unusual gameplay this game wields.

So, in other words, it'd be like an interactive introduction. You would discover the mansion in your dream, then when you went to the forest in real life, you would remember the mansion from your dream.

So while I was going through all of the tutorials, I was like, "Hey, why don't I let the player use Jean's "Dream Clock", too?" Then, it hit me. Jean doesn't have Dream Clock at that point. I wanted the tutorial to cover every gameplay system (except for battle and Activation Character), and the OW Spell Cards are pretty fun, too.

The solution? SuperHuman : Jean Sozora (or just SuperHuman for short.)

SuperHuman can only be used in the tutorial dream. Once you wake up, you'll never be able to use it again.
Sure, it might be a little odd to have a Spell Card randomly appear out of nowhere, but they're an important part of the story as well as an important part to gameplay. Plus you know when you're dreaming and you fall off the Eiffel Tower, or something like that? That's what it was inspired by xD

Here's a pic :



When you activate SuperHuman, you'll be able to do things like Jump really high, or push really heavy things for about 10 seconds. After that, the Spell Card Cooldown system will be activated, resulting in the player being unable to activate SuperHuman for about another 10 seconds or so.

I needed it to be included in the tutorial, and I kinda like it, so why not~?

O RLY

(Not ignoring you Miracle. Intro looks awesome. Art style is sweet - you drawing all this yourself?)

[Natako]

The intro sounds awesome! I agree that it's a great idea to let the player interact with the introduction, as it's a hell of a lot more interesting than just reading text and doesn't give the player that itching-to-play feeling that many long-winded intros give. It's also a good chance to gradually introduce the player to unique elements of the gameplay, such as spellcards.

Anyway, looks great so far. Keep us updated.

SaiKar : What are you talking about? XD I thought your comment was funny. Yeah, I do all the menu artwork and portraits myself, although the Soul Shields I found using Google Search.

Natoko : I was thinking about how I could avoid the dreaded "Press the Arrow Keys to move!" introduction, so I thought that if I let the player interact with the introduction, then they could easily learn as they go along.

Funny thing about updates. I was on another site two days ago, and somebody commented. I replied.
Today I updated the topic, and an admin was like "no double posting for 72 hours! D:<"

Would be nicer if they seperated the blog from the comments ._.

[SaiKar]

If it would make you feel more at home, I could be a dick of an admin too.

[Miracle]

That would only make me feel more alienated. The admin was obviously dickless.

Anyways, I don't really care. I just wish that the sites that didn't have very good layouts would chillax a little bit on the rules.
I totally understand that you don't want people attention-whoring their game, but it was an update.
Wouldn't happen if you separated the comments from the Game Profile XD

But the staff here is pretty cool, you get thumbs up >>b

Oh I forgot to mention profile is updated. Contains about one more screenie, as well as some information on OW SpellCards and the credits. >>b
