Final Era Demo 1.0 Realese

[Sephiroth rocks]

I'm almost done with my first demo now. The deadline's 1 December 2004. It's been a while since i began on it already in fall, 2003 but there've been some probs. But the demo's almost finished now and it's gonna be a long one at least one full hour of play. Info and screenshots 'bout the game can be found here.

could'nt you of posted the demo, before you make a topic of it, would be nice though, so we don't have to play the waiting game.  

Demo game topics are supposely to be about releasing a demo....now....lol,
but who cares, i can wait

I'm sure this has been said before, but how do you make those translucent message boxes?  I've actually seen a tut somewhere on it, but I didn't look at it and I don't want to have to bother with looking for it again.

Ermm...first of all, why are you asking that here? Secondly, do you mean when the writing is like a bluish white transparent color and there's no message box, just words? If so, then go to message display options in the event database before you want the text to be like that and click transparent.

Dunno why I asked that here.  It just came to my mind when I saw it.  And no, I don't mean without a message box; I know how to do that.  I mean, with the translucent boxes like in his screenshots.  And sorry for asking that here.

To make a message box semi-transparent: There are two ways to do this, the first way is if you get a picture of the menu background. Then before you type the message, desplay the menu picture, but make sure its like 20-50% transparent (or whatever % you want). Then after the message erase the pic. When you do this though you have to make sure that in the menu options you have transparent selected. It would also be a good idea to un-select the option that auto-positions your text.

The other way to do it, (which is much easier but can only be done in rm2k3) is to go to you database, go to battle layout, and under the "battle type" box there is an option called "transparent. The only problem with doing it this way is that you battle menus will also be transparent if you like it or not.

Hope that helped


Back on topic: well your using a lot of rtp gfx which dissapoints me, but unlike most games that use rtp gfx, the maps are put together rather nicely. So I guess I'll just have to wait and play your game before I can tell if its good or not

[Eternal Newb]

RTP!!!


NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

lol...but i would SEROUSLY change that...some graphic freaks will hate on your game sooo much just because of that...

[Sephiroth rocks]

There's like 5% RTP. I think you'll survive that.

[Robotam]

When you say 5%, do you mean the RTP sounds to or just the graphics?

[Sephiroth rocks]

I include RTP sound when I say 5%. I don't use any RTP midis and I've replaced many system sfx with FF7 ones.

Okay a lil update. I've almost got my equipment-learning system to work and it's actually pretty neat, but still I don't think I can make it to the deadline. I might can complete the demo to the 1st december but I won't have enough time to betatest it. It'll be out 'bout 15th December instead but then it'll be fully beta tested.

[Xecoa]

Great Job! Can't wait

[Sephiroth rocks]

Okay beta version of the demo released. If anyone wants to betatest it mail me.
