Final Era

[Sephiroth rocks]

My game's far from done but I'd like to know what you think of it. OK here's the story:

The main character Gary is always wandering around. A day The Empire (an evil kingdom that has started a huge war) attacks a village (Durran) while Gary is there. Gary get into a battle against the emperial general which is leading the attack, but the general is stronger than him and he has to flee. All the townspeople are killed and gary is knocked out and taken as prisoner. He wakes up later in an emperial dungeon. Gary finds out that the Empire are gonna attack the dessert town Cahn. He has to flee to warn 'em and safe his ***, and he gets out of the cell by provoking the guard and steal his armor. But on his way out he meets the samurai Kheno (I know it doesn't sound japanese but I had to name him something) and he joins Gary. They make their way to Cahn but then an unexpected prob occurs. Regular people aren't allowed to visit the sultan at less they know a certain password, but he talks to an ex-guard who're willing to tell the password if they finds some goods that has been stolen from him recently. they finds a secret entrance to the thief's den and finds the guard's stolen goods, but they encounters the thief. after taking him down they encounters a bunch of super-slimes. After killing 'em and talk to the guard again they get the password and enters the sultan's palace. After they've explained the situation to the sultan they have to go to the town of Atla which is Cahn's ally and get their aid. Before going princess Algin which is a whitemage and summoner joins 'em. They getting to Atla and recieves their help. When thay get back to Cahn they plan a strategy for the battle. The Cahn/atla army are gonna make a diversionary attack and meanwhile the party are gonna kill the emperial general so that the emperial army'll flee in panic. after doing so the general from the army of Atla (Baran) join the party. The sultan wants you to get to the Empire and find out what's going on since they've become so hostile lately. You goes to the royal engineer Cid in order to loan an airship to fly to the Empire, but unfortunately he's got no airships but he join the party. The you go through an abadonned mine and a train graveyard and fight a few bosses. You suddently discover a recently new built emperial base and you hear that the Empire are gonna launch an attack on Hon San. You hurry to Hon San to warn 'em. You get to Hon san and talkes to the ruler. He explains that the whole town is an airship so they fly away from the emperial forces. Then you continue your quest and take the train to the town Zhilon but there are emperial soldiers all over the train and you jump off the train. You continue through a lava cave where you get Ifrit the esper (summon) of fire. But when you finaly gets to Zhilon you encounter an emperial marshall which looks ecactly like gary except his hair and eye color. He knocks gary out but doesn't finish him off. The next morning you continue to the town of Arahn. There you hear 'bout an ancient ice god Shiva who have been terrorizing the town many times. The townspeople are willing to give you a good reward of you get rid of her. You go into the temple where Shiva is and find out that she's actually an esper. You challenges her and she lends you her powers and you get a reward from the citizens of the town...

That's all I have for now. Anyway here are some screenshots.

you know, i almost never read those big story texts.
The graphical part seems to be ok, but u should make the game with non-rtp resources(that makes the game more interesting).

[Red Giant]

Space it out using paragraphs.
Anaway, seems good! And even if you do use RTP, at least your using them correctly!

Acculy il have to agree with pedro here...
Playing with rtp resources makes the fun go down..its like playing a newbs game...
even if your game is the best game ever..after a while the players will stop playing your game...
ands it all cause of one rpt resource...lol

Sorry 'bout the colors on the snapshots. They seems to have screwed up when I converted 'em from .BMP

That is a pretty random statment... it sounds like you are trying to pass off your opinion as fact.

Something like this, maybe?
"Man, this is the best game ever! The plot is really deep, the battles are sweet, the maps are well drawn. I am having so much fun! But... it has RTP graphics. I guess I am going to stop playing now for no apparent reason."

I doubt it.

Eh, I might as well comment about the game.

It sounds like you enjoyed Final Fantasy 6 a lot. That is cool, I love FF6 too. But trying to remake FF6 by changing a few names and maps is not going to make anyone too happy.

Empire? Cid? Shiva the Esper? Mobile town? Come on now... you can think of your own cool ideas.

Basicly my game has nothing to do with FF6 at less some names. The storyline itself doesn't sound like the story of FF6. If there are any other relations, I haven't done it on purposs, 'cuz when you play a good game it's like it goes into your unconscious mind.

That is the most stupid thing I've ever heard. I doubt in a big time!

[Sephiroth rocks]

Oh I completly forgot to tell you that the major villain actually is your main character's (Gary) evil side! If he dies Gary's good side (The one you have in your team) will die too. So Gary'll have to sacrifice himself if he wanna safe the world. I like that idea and it's NOT taken from another rpg!

[grand_PiNpOn]

well....ya don't hear that every day;)
i mean it
the main hero dies.........
yeah cool idea

[Sephiroth rocks]

My old screens sucked and there were only one from a map so here's some new ones. Much of the game is still rtp but I actually like the rtp resources so I won't change 'em.
