WIP: Unnamed 2D RPG

[Gikoku]

Of course. I'd also like to know how in the world he managed to get way up there.

 

[DieselFuelOnly]

Same here. But considering the technology of the time... I'm thinking... A super bouncy trampoline of sorts. Or maybe highly modified Moon Shoes...

Which by the way, were one of the most dangerous inventions of all time. My ass will never be the same :'(

 

[DieselFuelOnly]

Sorry for doubles, but we're getting there... What happened was somehow when I saved the bird out of gimp, on account of me obliviously hitting MERGE LAYERS every time I save something, it mashed the bird and the villager I was seeing about changing some stuff on.. So I gotta go by a screenshot and manually fix the damn thing, pixel by pixel, using the screenshot as my color selector pallet... Thank god I always save screenies as PNG...

Progress:

Since you're updating your thread with your current work in progress, you don't have to worry about multi-posting.

Oh ok, gotcha -HOLD THE PHONE

Lovin' that bird, but I'm thinking what if you had it fly across the screen from one end to the other.. then it disappears

You...

I'm gonna be sick

 

[Gikoku]

Oh ok, gotcha -HOLD THE PHONE



You...

I'm gonna be sick

I assure you I'm not in cahoots with our friend Mr. Flying Man.

He's lying. He totally is.

Oh, and great job, Diesel. Looking awesome so far. :thumbsup:

 

[DieselFuelOnly]

Well... I'll let it fly this time... Anywho, he's out of surgery and.. i must say.. he came out beautiful

The arrows that go straight across from left to right/right to left are the bird's new pathways, they extend off map pretty far, so each time you see the bird, it will appear to be random. Next thing I post will be two new regions :w00t:

Mr. Bird is looking fantastic, nice route setup too.

He's lying. He totally is.

You lack proper evidence, IS NOT LEGIT.

 

[DieselFuelOnly]

He's lying. He totally is.

Oh, and great job, Diesel. Looking awesome so far. :thumbsup:

Ok lets set the gosh darn record straight. I was putting the moves on Gikoku and he turned out to be a guy. S*** happens.
You however remain a mystery.

I'm the naked chick in your latest screen of your rpg.

Your not the first. I still remember the Giki-chan thread. I can't remember how many new members Gikoku fooled though.

What I should have done was acted like I didn't care and just kept puttin' the moves on... hehehe...

NOW... The business at hand. Archive.org didn't have anything in 16-bit, but I appreciate the suggestion. I've done a million different google searches and found nothing :'( I may end up using the built in music... but I REALLY didn't want to do that... It's all so generic, if I didn't know better I'd bet my left nut I'd heard it all before. Help is still welcome in all areas.

Something I tested earlier in a blank map. High scale battles... The lag was nauseating So it's time to figure out why that is and find a way to eliminate it. My initial vision was to start out as a meaningless character, start helping people in the regions, become awesome, then lead a small army of good people against a big army of bad people. It was going to be a huge battle on one map. Now it seems that if I can't fix the lag when there are a lot of characters on screen, you'll be fighting small battles in different regions, then with your last remaining soldier(a very skilled and powerful guy), you go fight the boss. But then he'll take a stray arrow to the neck and you gotta fight the boss alone.

What I wanted was to fight one huge battle in a big field-like region, then move to the next and kill the boss.... *goes all drama-queen determined and stuff* I gotta figure the lag out... I gotta make my vision a reality...


I started making this game so I could kill people and chew bubble gum in a world inspired by Fable.


And I decided against the bubble gum...

Game Creator rocks.

 

[DieselFuelOnly]

Game Creator rocks.

Did you give it a try or somethin?

 

[TRA Rotid]

Haha yeah a while back I... no. Actually it wasn't Game Creator. It was something similar. I wanted to do a point-and-click mystery story but the program eventually turned out to be a little too restricted so I quit.

The last guy didn't end up so well when it went all the way.. wonder what happened to him.

Sorry to hear that, but hey, least we gave it a try.

Are all the the NPCs on-screen in the battlefield just complete copies or are they each individually different in design? It sounds like the software has trouble with simply moving all those pixels all at once on screen. I remember SNES & Genesis shoot 'em up games like Thunder Force had major lag when there were too many things on screen at once.

Any plans on giving those companions some depth, such as talking to them, learning things, giving commands, etc.. or will they just be protective shadows?
