"RPG Project ready! Try eet!" , posted Thu 7 Nov 23:43:

Some of you maybe remember the RPG demo I slapped together with RPG Maker 2k about 5 months ago...

Well, I'm happy to announce that the damn thing has grown quite a bit! 19 playable characters, all cities completed, 3 new dungeons, some equipment and items and other things to mess with. And of course the music is 100% mine. This version actually has a beginning and end, with a little more story and a buttload of quirky dialogue. The general idea I'm working toward is a short, replayable game with quite a bit of variety.

It's definitely playable though, and I'm more than happy to share it with you all, except for one small problem... I have a paid Geocities account, but I found out last time that Geocities sucks at file downloads.

The zipped installation is about 5 MB... no other installed programs required. Is anyone willing to host it for me? I'd be most grateful!

UPDATE: Thanks JJJ! Here's the link now:

The time period is not really all that concrete, but I'd say it's around the 18th century. As for monsters... yeah, I'll definitely need them. Right now I only have 4 in the game!

quote:

Tell us more about the characters! I want to know!

I guess a few character bios wouldn't hurt.

Kenji - The hero of the game, he begins with no memories of his past. Upon waking, he is greeted by the holy messenger Folevel, who explains that Heaven has an important mission for him... to rid the eastern lands of chaos and restore order and balance to the world before a catastrophe occurs. He is then told to find three allies who will aid him, and with that, Folevel is gone. With nothing else to go on and no other apparent purpose, Kenji has no choice but to follow the order, in hopes that he will soon remember who he is.

Duke Clayborne II - Duke is a skilled larcener. Originally from Verde, he considers himself a sort of hero of the poor who takes only from the rich. However, because of lousy monetary decisions and bad gambling relationships, he has yet to meet anyone poorer than himself, so really it's all fancy talk. One day he happens upon a castle, sure to be brimming with treasures, and goes in intent on working his mojo. Unfortunately, certain things about this castle cause his plan to go awry...

Sanjuro Nakanamano - The Nakanamano clan is a royal ninja clan from the East, however Sanjuro never completely embraced the life of a ninja living in servitude to the emperor. He instead preferred the life of a wandering, masterless samurai. Many years ago, certain events led him to leave the clan's village and start his ronin lifestyle.

Reiko Nakanamano - Sanjuro's sister couldn't really understand why Sanjuro didn't want to be a ninja, but nonetheless they have had a close family relationship. When Sanjuro left the Nakanamano clan's village, Reiko accompanied him. After many years of wandering the world with Sanjuro, Reiko decided to rent out a space to live in Sentiele. Sanjuro, ever the protective brother, now stays with her.

That's a few of them. There are 15 more characters, but I don't want to detail too much, since interacting and getting characters to join you is the current meat of the game. Right now there's not much to diversify them other than appearance and dialogue, but eventually I hope to give them an FF5-like range of personal techniques, and possibly a number of double-teams (though it seems right now more trouble than it's worth). And of course they will each have their own subplot to the main story.

So... hosting? Anyone? I'm open to suggestions...

I'm using some of the default monster artwork that came with the program, though generally I'm trying to avoid using copyrighted stuff. As for robots, no I wouldn't be adverse to them, but I think only in specific parts which I haven't even begun on yet. If you're offering help I do appreciate it, but right now it's pretty far off.

It's pretty simple, just recruit three people into your party and go back to the place where the game started. That's it. There are way more than 3 people you can recruit though... you'd have to play the game at least 6 times just to see them all.

To the people who've played through it, what party did you end up with?

I'm aware of this problem, but on my comp it looks fine. The text on the title screen should look like this:

If it doesn't, then I'm not sure why. I'll see if there's some kind of easy way to fix it. Just to narrow things down, do you have RPG Maker 2000 already installed, by any chance? And if so, what version?

hm, there's a size difference between your screen shots

i may be able to fix the problem!
give me a second ...

wait, i hit "preview" instead of "send," hehehe
no need to wait

are you guys running this in windows mode? (after it goes to full screen mode when it starts up, you can go to windows mode by ALT-ENTER or by just hitting F4)
if so, you can toggle the screen size with F5. that might be able to help

my font is kinda weird too. not as bad as Makondo's though. hm, tell me if that helps, Makondo or anyone else with weird font

hm, i have a theory that it has something to do with your windows set font (because of your different fonts in your screen shots) -- right-clicking your desktop then hitting "properties," etc etc. and i did a little testing of my own .... unfortunately, i couldn't figure out exactly what font it is (and i almost messed up my "perfect" desktop setting T_T)

i dunno what i'm doing ...

- Verde's Fruit Girl
- Entrance to the Canal
- Sentiele's Beautiful Fountain... thingy
- Gathering of Allies
- THE FINAL BOSS (ok, maybe not)

Gojira: btw, i didn't know you did the music yourself (yea, i just reread your first post -_-). very nice work, man! also, the little subquests are great! and the dialogue really kept me interested (maybe some sick humor thrown in there, but hey i enjoyed it). keep up the good work, man!

Officially, it is Japanese-only.

As for the English hack, I used to get it at the official translation site (http://go.to/rm2k). Now though, there's something going on with Enterbrain. Supposedly Enterbrain wants to release an English version of RPG Maker but they won't as long as this and other illegally-translated "tsukuru" products exist. Don Miguel is a nice guy, so he took down all the downloads as a show of good faith... but I have to wonder if Enterbrain is really going to do it... if they release an English version I will definitely buy it, but I can't compromise my current work to wait for it.

If you want to see what they said, here is Enterbrain's message.

Just played a few minutes of the game. Great music! Looks good too. It really feels like a console RPG.

It occurs to me that an awful lot of trouble in Gotham City could have been averted a long time ago if Batman had just ripped the Joker's nipples off.

A man with the nipples ripped off him does not make the same mistakes twice.

I mean crime in Gotham City doesn't exactly seem to be affected by a man dressed as a bat flapping around the place. But no-one disobeys a man wearing a necklace of human nipples.

"I'm Batman" isn't cutting it in the striking-fear-into-their-hearts stakes. But "I'm Batman -- and I'm here for your nipples" is an entirely different proposition.

Thanks a lot for the patch, Gojira, it sure improves things A LOT. Here's a shot of the game before and after applying the patch:

EDIT: Haha, I didn't even see JJJ's post, sorry about that. Thanks for the screenshots! A little bigger than they need to be, but what do I care, a shot is a shot. Congrats on getting Duke and Dean, hehe. I know that one was slightly hidden :)

If theres gonna be even more new shiny things for us to play with in this rpg maker then im gonna definately buy. But if this is a straight port then they get a bonk on the head for being too little too late.

Well, the talk is of RPGM2003, which would be a new release. I haven't had a chance to see what it would offer though. If it offers huge improvements on customizing the battle system then I'll grab it, for damn sure... that thing is a pain in the ass to mess with the way it is now.

We could start a wishlist... of stuff we'd like to see in it... id start with more than 1 death animation for every monster.

I just want common battle events, so I don't have to copy 200 pages for 200 monster parties. I thought they were in 2k, but they're not. Makes special battle commands really hard to pull off :(

"Sound?" , posted Fri 15 Nov 06:20

Very nice game Gojira, I ended up with a team composed of that ninja girl, an endless BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-PORN!-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH- mediator and the dude who was in jail.
I have a question though, after a ramdom battle, when you return to the world map the music sounds rather funny. There's a sort of "buzz-ing" sound that spoils your tunes. I ran Direct X diagnosis tool and it got locked in the second sound test. Do you happen to know what is wrong and how could I fix this? Thanks!

Buzzing? Hmm... the only sound issues I know of are that sometimes the music doesn't reset effects, so modulation continues on a piece that wasn't supposed to have it or it gets stuck in pitch bend. That wouldn't cause any buzzing though. Sorry, I don't know. It may be a sound card issue.

Sorry, that was I meant by "buzzing" (English is not my first language) but it's as you say, it's rather a kind of "overlaping" of tunes. Any fix for this? or maybe you're right and it's my sound card what is causing the problem, since as I said, there's a problem when I run the Direct X diagnosis tool.

Well if it's what I said before, all I can say is save and exit then restart the game. It's just a matter of transition from one BGM to another at the wrong time. If that's not what it is though, I don't know how to fix it.

I would fix it if it was easy to fix, but essentially I'd have to go back and add a controller fix for every channel I'm using at the beginning of every single BGM.

Well, just wanted to say that I'm now quite busy, but the first 5 minutes of the game look great, really. And the fact that you've comopsed the music (very good), makes me say WOW!!

I'll try it deeper later.

Oh, I see. Thanks for your feedback Gojira, but it's probably a problem of my crappy PC. Time to update the machine, I think ^_^
