Why not just add apples to an rtp tree


RTP trees and apple trees are different shaped. I guess my secret inner OCD perfectionist is at large right now but to me it's an important detail lol.

Resource Requests / Apples, anyone?
August 13, 2013, 05:03:23 pm
What I need right now is an apple tree for my RMXP project. An apple tree with ripe apples.

Believe me, it's very important! And no, no other kind of tree will do. It has to be an apple tree.
I tried to sprite the tree myself and I failed miserably lol. I also looked everywhere for outdoor tilesets or charsets that had trees to find an apple tree but I didn't find even one.
The size of the tree should be a bit large. Imagine an apple tree that's grown to the point that it can't grow any bigger. Please use an RTP character for comparison as the graphics for the game are based on RTP style and size. The color of the apples doesn't really matter, although red or golden ones would be more visible from among the green leaves. And no bad apples in there! (no pun intended lol)
If anyone's up for it, thanks a lot in advance!

Also, it'd be very cool to have a burned-down version of the tree too. I need that as well, but I can somewhat edit it from a complete tree if necessary.

Sounds good, and yeah, a little unique. Survival games have def been done before, but this sounds pretty good. I look forward to playing it, and if you need testers, lemme know!! I'm not a spriter, but I'm an eventer, if that helps at all.

I'll keep that in mind. I'm pretty sure I'll need testers someday in the future. :D

Well, I don't do mass sprites, but I could help with a charset here and there or a tileset :b
It depends on the progress of your game, I don't want to help if it's going to waste lol

You might as well check to topic I made about the project. You could say it's not a typical project for RPG Maker XP lol

The Story

A girl wakes up late at night in her bed the night before turning 12 only to discover that, with the exception of her room, her home is burned down, with blackened ruble lying everywhere and her parents nowhere to be found. The moon is oddly huge and bright, illuminating her completely deserted hometown with its ominous, silvery light. The only pieces of clothing the girl can find in her wardrobe are her fancy dark blue dress with a golden butterfly embroidered onto the chest; a long, pale pink ribbon and her shiny, black shoes: the outfit she wore a few weeks ago in her uncle's wedding. Even though she's not feeling very well, the girl steps out from the ruins that once were her home to find her parents. The oddly quiet town makes the girl recall many past memories, both happy and sad. But the girl is not alone. The shadows hide terrifying secrets that desire to trap her eternally into the void.





Gameplay

The game is a simple survival horror game that contains no battles. As you take the role of a weak little girl, you're absolutely defenseless, meaning enemies must be avoided or outsmarted. The emphasis is on the story, atmosphere and puzzles. The game will be rather short, ten hours being the absolute maximum. This doesn't make the game small in content though, as there will be many unlockable scenes, secrets and diary logs, and it's not possible to unlock them all during just one playthrough. If nothing, it's at least one of the games that will make you cry. You have my word on that.





Progress so far

Right now all concrete stuff I have on the project is concept art, failed attempts at spriting, a few maps and a short story written by me from which the game is based on. The story is almost completely done, meaning small details are to be developed here and there. At the moment I have two artists in the team.







I'll inform of anything new here when I get to make progress here. Any questions and constructive criticism is welcome.

Welcome to C-P. Good luck with your project! Who knows, maybe I'll help you out with a few sprites.

Ahahah... it's a bit more than a few sprites. More like all charsets and tilesets. : D I'm planning on making some of the graphics myself, like I've already done with the systemset and I've attempted to make charsets and such, but I've failed quite miserably lol. At least the story is 95% done and the mechanics are completely designed. I'll make a thread about it on monday or possibly even on Sunday.

I've been experimenting with the RPG Maker series ever since I was 12.

So you like experimenting?  :naughty:


Oh yes. Care to join me? :naughty:

O hai!

I'm Ranquil, also known by the nick meyvn MaRa around the web. I've lurked here years ago for a while and I started to lurk here again about a month ago. Time for registration then, yay!
I'm an 18-year-old guy from Finland. I'm really tall, about 190cm (if you can't use the metric system and you honestly care about my height, use Google conversion or something lol). I'm a brunet, with my slightly curly hair reaching my shoulders. You have absolutely no idea how much chicks dig my hair! 8) (although if I have a ponytail with my fringe thingy free I become a trap) I play way too much video games (RPGs, action, horror etc) and spend way too much time on the Internet. Surprisingly enough, I actually also do exercise (!), my sport being Aikidõ. I've been doing Aikidõ for about a year now and my grade is 6 kyu lol. I'm on my third and final year in high school / sixth form / whatevs.
I've been experimenting with the RPG Maker series ever since I was 12. I started with 2k and 2k3, now I'm using 2k3 and XP. I've never gotten anything actually done, although I managed to pull off a short demo with an Internet friend and make a small and overly simple CBS with 2k3. Right now I have a project for XP which is in desperate need of a spriter or two. I think I'll make a thread of it soon. I'm also working on a small custom experience system for 2k3.

Gotta go back to school now, so I'll post something later. o/
