(I was planning to name it "Fantasy Crystal Chronicles 4 :Eternal Dragon Quests, but that would piss off alot of people")
Prologe:
So!! here it is.. the biggest project i have ever started (and will finish hopefully), what makes this project big its not just the vast resource database i have been creating to make it complety unique, but the game that is behind the idea.. an old NES classic:(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/6140/astyanax.jpg)
The game was side-scroller plataform game, many people found it kind of annoying because of its difficulty while others consider it as one of the best "go save the princess" games ever made; my game will be based (vaguely)on this magical world & its inhabitants while adding plots & stuff of my own, the idea is to make a worthy remake for a game that deserves it. :roll:(http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/2900/storyw.png)
He is having that dream again...a dream where somebody is calling him...
waiting for him....He is a teenage boy named Astyanax (from Greek mythology),
a student at Greenview High. He has no idea what the dreams mean, or the
girl who keeps calling him. Suddenly, one day when he was walking to school,
he disappears and is transported into the mystical world of Remlia by a
fairy named Cutie. She tells the boy that the girl appearing in his dreams
is Princess Rosebud. She is being held captive by a vile wizard named
Blackhorn. He needs to rescue her because she is the only one who can send
him back home. Cutie gives Astyanax a sword & a shield, which he will need to
defeat Blackhorn's hordes of monsters.
And basically.. thats all you need to know, plot complexity will grow as you advance in the game and meet the rest of the characters..

Astyanax:(http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/5853/ast.png)
Acording to wikipedia.. "Astyanax was the son of Heracles and Epilais, daughter of Thespius. Astyanax is a genus of fish in the American freshwater family Characidae", who knows what that means but here in the game he plays the mayor role .
He is a 16-year-old boy from the town of Greenview. He is transported into the
mysterious world of Remlia, and he needs to rescue Princess Rosebud to
get back to his world.
Princess Rosebud:(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/3682/rosebud.png)
The princess of Remlia. She is the girl who keeps appearing in Astyanax's
dreams. She is being held captive by the wizard Blackhorn. She is the
only one who possesses the power to send Astyanax back to his home world.
She communicates with Astyanax and Cutie through telepathy.
Cutie:(http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/2479/cut.png)
This fairy is a friend to the Princess. She has lots of magical power, but
not as much as Rosebud. She can bring Astyanax into Remlia, but she can't
get him out by herself. She knows a lot about the realm of Remlia, so she
can help the boy out a lot.
Thorndog:(http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/9039/thorn.png)
Blackhorn's most trusted guard. She is a master of the Black Arts. She
placed a spell on the Princess to prevent her from escaping Thelenea.Caesar:(http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/1965/caesar.png)
Thorndog's pet. Also known as "Skull Face" or "Chicken Feet". It is
very dumb, yet it may pose a threat in driving Astyanax away from his
quest to rescue Rosebud.
Blackhorn:(http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/2007/blackh12.png)
The evil wizard and chief bad guy of the game. He kidnapped the Princess
in order to steal her life force and take over Remlia. His stronghold is
Thelenea Castle.
Note: there will be more characters that will take important roles during game, just included the main ones..

(Note: may contain small bugs or typos, please report any anomaly.)
You should so release those tilesets sometime. THey look awesome! Oh and I cant wait to play the game. The screenies make it look so cool
QuoteYou should so release those tilesets sometime.
They are a pain belive me, :O.o:
but if you insist i can post an example later, even if they are already arranged & edges cut the most anoyying part is making tiles non passable, walls, priorities FOR EACH MAP.. :)
that would suck lol but I cant wait to play this game!
Are the maps from RO too?
QuoteAre the maps from RO too?
Nope.. RO maps are complety in 3D these are rips from Baldurs gate 2
Quotethat would suck lol but I cant wait to play this game!
And i cant wait to finish the demo, i will need lots of feedback and suggestions to make it a great project :P

Eh, to explain more, RO Maps are more anime and not as 3-D CGI based as this.
Now...This game looks very promising. I recommend you do a thorough spell check before releasing it or anything. Have someone proofread it even. I hope the filesize isn't big.
QuoteI hope the filesize isn't big.
Well.. each BIG map like this weights around 5mbs and the small ones no more than 1 mb .. i will relase a game whit MP3s and another one whit Midis instead :o
File zize wont be a problem in the demo, but whit the rest of the game... i may have to divide it..
I can't wait for this. :3
man, this looks awesome!
New screens.. enjoy :D
a playable demo will be available soon
Awesome. Do you mind if I put up a few screenshots in the Blizz-ABS thread?
QuoteAwesome. Do you mind if I put up a few screenshots in the Blizz-ABS thread?
Sure :3, i will upload a few more before i finish the demo
If you have a custom hud, then this would look uber smexy.
In fact i would like a HUD that shows main hero state & exp bar (whitout the icons) but to tell you the truth i have not looked for one yet, is there one? i tried the Custom HUD that uses pictures to represent health and SP but it lags and it would look weird and out of place whit damage numbers poping around.
I think i will just change the green health bar to red :P
You could request a custom one... :O
this looks mega awesome! hurry up and finish the demo! :evil:
Best screen shot's I've ever seen in like, forever.
if you can keep this quality up it could be become 1 of the best RMXP games ever.
not to say a really nice way to show how flashy babs can really become if you put the time in it.
can't wait to see the full game
Do you have any ideas when the full game could be done?
The demo's supposed to be out today D:
I cant wait for the full game as well, the screenies look amazing, heck I cant wait for the demo!
QuoteIf you have a custom hud, then this would look uber smexy.
I may will later :3
QuoteDo you have any ideas when the full game could be done?
i will use the demo as a start point.. once i settle the gameplay concepts and stage/story planning i want to check the avaiable scripts and see if i can add more nice features into it then i must finish the custom maps, monster/hero charsets, stage/skill animations & events for each one of the stages (around 9) and test them :)
instead of a "LOG" i think it would be better to post a "To Do" list so me and other people have a real perspective of the advancements but how long will it take.. it really depends on how much free time i will have..
:D lately i have had a lot of free time and decided to rush the project but who knows (phones ringing every 2 minutes in my house :S) lots of distractions..

Thanks for your comments n_n the idea was to make a game that looks diferent from a typical Rmxp game and yes.. it requiered some extra efford, but i enjoy doing every eye candy.

Yup!! Just have to fix some event and grammar bugs :shy: i have to make special effords on the second ones because english is not my first language i sometimes have problems Articulating a single Phrase
