Thanx..about 25% of each set is edit from rtp..rest I spent hours on pixilling and coloring...

Not easy..time consuming..took me around  2-3 hours for 1 battle set with 3 png files...multiply that for each battleset...

Lot of creations... 30 png files for 5 Girls...2 costume sets...

Add 2 more costumes for girls and 4 costumes for men...looking at 120 png files and 2-3 hours per battleset of 3... Looking at 100 hours of work.

75 hours of work left everyone....

Now there's some commitment for ya!

[Arcanagirl]

Umm a Demo might not be available for some time..I will try and get something done for a demo, till then I need to focus on finishing chara sets and battles along with magics/items/and monster groups before a demo can be planned out. I will post when a Demo is ready, but when a demo is ready I have no site host anymore so I dont know how I am gonna host the demo for others to play...

[Dalherrin]

Try bravenet www.bravenet.com its a great website and you can get yor own website or  just get a bravenet sidesite

[Osmose]

Bravenet sucks. Badly. Don't EVER use ANYTHING from Bravenet.

If you need a place for a website, http://www.brinkster.com/Hosting/Educational.aspx is the best bet you've got.

As for hosting the game, that's a different issue. Most people have been using Freewebs, but I know not of their service.

[Arcanagirl]

All free webs have a meg limit of uploading..If my demo is over a meg of space...It wont upload unless I have my own site...

I just finished making a default menu system for Crafting and other misc stuff...

Sadly only items will open these menus...but hey they work and everything..I am so proud of myself...I drew the borders and background myself...it is awsome.

Menus Made:
A Crafting item menu, which was tested and works...no errors...If you have the right amount of materials to make an item it says creating new item...or if you lack any of the 3/4 types of materials, it says not enough supplies...

A Party Changer...since there are 10 charas...Gonna need a chara switcher...

A bounty Scroll Menu...This is a scroll that tells you what bounties you completed or are currently working on...SO many bounty points may grant you a prize...

A Quest Menu...Same as bounty Menu

A Costume Menu...It will hold each charas name, click a character to view their different costumes then select a costume to change into. You must first buy or find a chara's secret costumes.

A Music Selector...Listen to music from the game, or change the themes of battle..If you want any battle to have your favorite theme, this is how you do it.

Love menu: Feel like having fun and playing god...This menu will be for you to make any chara you want try to hook up with different charas or npcs...But there are only so many that can be hooked with..Not all npcs will be dateable. The menu has limits...You can set up a date with a party member or an npc, but you can only give gifts in the window to party members...To give a gift to an NPC..You have to have the item when you talk to them and select give a gift.

Realm Travel menu...once you obtain the right item, you can realm travel...Select which realm you wish to goto.

Alchemy Menu: Mix herbs together to get more powerful items.

Digging doesnt have a menu but know this...digging is only allowed in certain areas.

Orb Casting menu: Take ordinary orbs and sythesis them with magic...They are used as items in battle or outside depending on orb.

Warping Menu: Once you learn warp, you can travel to any place you have been to in Lunori...But only places you have been too. Dungeons included.

Marrage scroll menu: If you get married, this menu, which is only located in your home you buy; will serve as actions and such you want to use with your companion...

House menu: Each character can buy a house to live in. There will be a menu for each house with a list of things you can do...place some items you made(only a few items though, like treasure chests or magic items to help you on your journey...calendar too)...some other stuff too.

Tutorial menu: This is a book that will explain various things in the game you can do. So if you get confused on how to craft or marry and such it will explain all that.

I may make a couple side games, not sure what yet...or how to script them, I will post later on that.

[Moosetroop11]

One word: Wow.

One sentence: Can I see screenshots of your menu?

[barnsalot]

Sounds very nice. I am looking forward to seeing what you did for the crafting and alchemy.

[Arcanagirl]

Well here is a screen shot of character changing..be warned though...I didnt have a whole lot of resorces nor idea how to make this menu..so be truthful if it sucks...the scripts work and everything, bad thing is..I wish I had a beter looking menu...

Shot 1:


Shot 2:


Let me know your thoughts...if anyone thinks they can do better on this..please let me know...I want it too look better!

[Ace of Spades]

Well, the idea itself is cool, and it's good that it works. I will admit though, the actual background itself is a little plain. About fixing it up though, well it really all depends on the style of your game. By style, I mean, what are some common colors that are usually found in the game. Like mine for instance, common colors are Blue, Silver, and Black, so most of the menu's and custom stuff that are in the game consist of all, one, or a combination of those colors. So, it all depends really. It is a little plain though, adding some things to it might make it better. The idea itself is cool though. Good job.  

[Robotam]

Looks like you made it at last.
I like menu, I really do. There's nothing really wrong with it, not to my eyes.
Very good, I'll try keep up wth the maps but right now when I'm taking care of the Community Contest there will be less work done.
But I will still try to keep up with the work.

[Teto]

good on ya!

[Arcanagirl]

I just finished making the costume changing menu..it looks somewhat different than the other menus...I may make them all that way or I may change backgrounds or such...I will be working on other scripts on menus little later...not sure which one to make yet.
