'Nocturne's Gospel'

[Blizzard]

You are angry because somebody trash talked about your game and are going to abandon it? What am I supposed to do with this site then? Should I take it down? Should I just delete the content and delete all the database just because the host keeps deleting my files and has many other flaws which annoy the hell out of me? It's like, every week some new shit and I tell you, I'm fucking sick of it. Not to talk about my mapper being stubborn and making the maps his way so I have to waste my time and rework them. And what about my personal problems? Should I just go and kill my self or what? Now put your game back up. And if somebody dares saying anything about copyright infrigement, direct him to me that I tear his ass apart. This guy has obviously never heard of "fair use" and most probably can't read or is too dumb too understand that my CC license ALLOWS THE USAGE OF CRLS in non-commercial games without asking and that you need JUST MY PERMISSION for a commercial game. In fact, you should report the person for harassing you at that forum.

EDIT: Give me a link to that topic. I'll tear this idiot a new ass even if I get banned.

Come on Caro! Someone who doesn't know what he/she's talking about is not worth all the pain for you! Get over it >8U I'm suffering a lot because I can't get over the same kind of problems, thinking too much about what matters least. Don't let it ruin your mood, there are always better ways of wasting time, cheer up!

[Punn]

Yeah, I'll join you on that on Boris, its not right to flame someone prolly for the fucking dumbest reason, your game is prolly a well made rmxp game out there, and what the fuck he done? A game with crappy shitty mapping and sentence that makes no sense. He isnt an almighty god troll, so he should keep that mouth of his closed. YOUR GAME IS FUCKING AWESOME, AND I SUPPORT YOU AND THE GAME!! SO DONT ABANDON YOUR GAME OR YOUR ABANDONING YOUR IDEAS, AND YOUR TIME AND EVERYTHING YOU DEVOTED TO THIS GAME! (But um.. take your time, really. Its not your fualt that your game might be erased, those things are common among these part of the community, dont beat yourself up over it) And he also doesnt have the right to tell you which script you can or cant use, obviously, scripter post their script to help (Mainly to get credited) so its a free among public use.

As for you Boris, fuck you, keep the forum up and if you delete I will assassinate your blond ass :V

But we all have our own problems but we overcome them, mainly cuz if we look alive, its something it can be passed and forgotten

But do what I do, drink and get drunk, then wake up, forget everything that idiot said, cuz no one wants to hear what one little idiot have to say nor no one will care.


Anyways, you can delete this post if you want or when Caro ask for it, since this isnt related to the topic whatsoever. Hope you see the light then the lie

[Blizzard]

There's no way I'd delete your post without valid reason, mumerus. And there is none.

you guys are really something . . .


Shdwlink  It's a battlefield I was not expecting.

[Starrodkirby86]

Meh, it's RMXP.org, they're always full of people like that I suppose. Despain is of course the worst issue of them all, but there's nothing one can do thanks to him being administrator. I hope we did help and motivate you though, the effort really makes it matter.

[Fantasist]

Right. I've been keeping an eye on this project for some time, and it's about time I expressed my views and criticism.

To be frank, I was a bit dissappointed when I saw the anime graphics (which caught my eye first) because I value gameplay elements more than character CG. That's not to say I don't like the concept. In fact, I love it. When I took a closer look at the maps, I was nothing short of impressed. Your map work is detailed and sets the right atmosphere. I read the story, which is a bit cliche, but believe me, I love that theme when it's presented properly, and I knew I won't be dissappointed. But then, throughout the read, grammar mistakes hit me hard. Being a grammar nazi, grammar mistakes turn me off. But more importantly, I was still interested in the project because of the features list. By the looks of everything, there seems to be lot of drama in the game, as much as there is fun and excitement. Too much drama makes me feel dizzy, but that's not a problem, I have times when I'm emo I was a bit skeptical when I saw the dating system integrated into a game like this, but then I thought 'why not?'. I enjoy character development in games and if you can pull it off properly, it might just be nice. So finally, when I first saw this project, I was dissappointed, but also impressed. I decided that I'll play the game when you make it.

Now, the suggestions. First thing is grammar. I hope you're not offended because I pointed it out too much, but I promise it will be the last time I'll ever do that again. Fix it first, especially in the first post. I'll help if you want, you just need to ask. Since this project is very detailed and expansive, you could use a good choice of words. Star's grammar and vocabulary rival my own, and I daresay he's better than me. Badger him for help when you think a sentence doesn't sound impressive enough >8U (sorry for bringing you into this Star ^_^')

Next, the usage of CG during dialogs. Make it optional. I know that this project has a lot more than just flashy graphics, but don't let the audience think otherwise. Set it as an option in your CMS (I can help you with that). I know it can be a lot of eventing, but you can always mod your custom message system to use facesets instead when the CG option is turned off in the menu (I can help you with that too). That way, you don't need to change any eventing.

Now, there's the issue of map toning. I know it's personal preference, but I felt some of the maps were straining my eyes. I don't know how many people will agree with me, this is just my opinion. If you are going to consider it, lower the intensity of the color, it's easier on the eyes.

All of that being said about the project itself, I have one more suggestion regarding the project topic. Use low quality images in the first post, please >_< It took me nearly a minute to load the page. Try to use jpg or gif images (gif images have transparency). IrfanView is a very good program for saving in different formats and batch conversion.

Well, I hope to get my hands on the demo soon, so hurry up! And don't forget to keep the upload size small, since I have a very slow connection ^_^' You can use Blizzard's Resource Tester to prune unused resources.

Shameless self-promotion >_<: ShowHide

I think this is going to help you when you release your demo

All the best ^_^

Also, I recommed that you check out how the map colors look on a cathode tube monitor. I could tone down the night tint in my game and could still see everything on my LCD laptop display without problems, but I noticed that on cathode tube monitors it was just too dark.

[Caro Ru Lushe]

Thanks to shdwlink1993 fix the grammar for your eyes guys & girls :X


& I thank everyone for supporting, & i am sorry for it >___>;;;


By next update, Ill get a variation of new stuff, including the Title Change :=


Also, I might have to look for a more Suitable CBS since I reaally want to put CRL

.____.|||

[Blizzard]

Just wait a bit longer since I will make CRLS compatible with Minkoff's CBS in the end. SRS and SLS work pretty well already (except for a bug in SRS), but CDS doesn't work fully.

[Caro Ru Lushe]

Let me just say one thing. The problem with this game is the author and all the fanboys can not take criticism. When I came on and listed a few things to change, everyone was like "AHHA the Sky is Falling", come on. I have yet to play the game, but odds are I won't simply because if I wanted to watch an Anime or read a book, I would read Dante' Inferno, and go watch Code Geass. There's nothing this game presents that is original, the story is sadly cliche, the art style is from another game, and the author is shamelessly bumping the game with small updates, which can be simply shown in the Screenshot topic.  I haven't been in this community for a while, but this game is a waste of RMXP's capacity. Let me rip FFVII Graphics and art and put a game together with it, what would you say in that situation. It just seems like the majority of people are blinded by the flashy anime, which I might add is from another game. Normally I am level headed but I cant stand to read the compliments the game is receiving when there is really nothing that impressive about it at all.

From .org, Now is that a healthy criticism?


How am I suppose to get motivated?

@Ashramaru: It matters not wether you like it or not . . . but "thanks" for the Comment.

:x Neat, but what I mostly have trouble is in a Custom Battle Menu to look neat, I sorta hate the one Minkoff CBS has.

*I like the one I am using, but :x it won't look pretty.


BTW, at thi point, I might just make a special for CP with a password for CP Members exclusive with two Extra Heroines Arcs >:/ This comments are getting annoying.

[Punn]

Your best bet is to forget and ignore that forum, it doesn't help you in anyway and the way they 'try' to help is just plain pathetic. You should just ask the mod to close that topic about your game at .org, as its crushing the name and fame your trying to give it.
Just remember that some people here actually care and wouldn't spam something stupid, I support you in a orthodox way. Hope that's motivate you enough.. Anyways, I hope this set back doesn't effect you and the way you make your game. Good luck.

[Caro Ru Lushe]

:x Thanks, but at the moment going to a place to get motivated. I might just lock it myself or so, but even they won't lock it for me as I know of.

[Caro Ru Lushe]

  Well, a little update, the Title has yet again been changed.

Also there's a new pretty Logo :p but, I still liked the first one.

Trying to write the story to be accurate with the CGs thou  so, it won't be final.

Anyone asking themselves what is a Reaver, it's suppose to come/mean "Steal" or "Take" one of the two. (Can't remember & don't feel like searching for it xD)

[Vell]

*has come in late to the party*

you know, my Storyline Service is still open... I rarely check it since I've not gotten a request in like, months, but if you need help and I've not noticed it in the topic just send me a PM. I notice PMs.

[Caro Ru Lushe]

  Your not late for the party actually.

I already sent a PM, just in case it doesn't arrive, well, at least you know I ask for your help for it. :x thou I don't know the template or what to do for the request.

In other news, Future Features (Not yet final, I'm still thinking of it):

:x On news: Due to laziness & well, trouble making the resources & such, I might limit the exploration on Towns & Certain Areas, Instead, the player will go on a separated Windows of the location he is & chooses the area he/she wants to visit, think of it like . . . Ar Tonelico & (if you've been paying attention to Ming's updates) Celestias Ferrum.

Also, the gameplay might be <sigh> limited in some puzzles & mini-games due to said system & if you're the type of person who despises long talks . . . . Soul Reaver may not be for you, The game now uses a similar Visual Novel-like scenes, where the player's decision affects the party's thoughts on the main character, not to mention it also affects the Player's Partner/Heroine, most of the scenes, will (not final) look like a Visual Novel's system ingame. (Mainly because I'd have to edit sprites for many expressions & it gets tiring working over & over again).


Also, 2 new features to be added (probably, I'm still thinking) would be the so called "Topic" Event & the . . . well, "Dream World" Events.
These two work similar, but in a different way >:x

The "Topic" Event system is just an average conversation, in which the player interacts with one of the Characters from his/her party by looking up for "Topics" like items around the world, these events will only be unlocked either in a savepoint camping, Town Inn or Headquarters, these little events, althou some might be . . . (to you guys) boring, they actually raise the chances of your little heroines to fall for you & to even unlock those porn scenes which I know you all want and love the most. :p Can't let you guys have those scenes that easily, which comes Part 2:

The "Dream World" systems, takes more of the "Visual Novel" Concept, the player chooses one of the Heroines and both go in a "Role-Playing-Like-Game", ;3 With each raising that Girl's value to the Main Character even higher, not to mention some skills can only be obtain from this events. :x Unfortunately, it requires a certain Value or "Trust" towards that specific heroine to go "deeper" into each episode. Althou it sounds like boring, the "Dream World" actually creates a different storyline that has nothing to do with the main one, so you don't have to worry about missing details, since I realize that you will all start to panic if something from one girl's dream world is discussed & the player gets lost. (lol). One can obtain from this Events New Skills, Weapons, Armors & Items and the chance to strengthen the bond between the Main Character & the Player's selected Heroine (& your precious "scenes" ;P).

Also note, that once the game is release, there are also some NPCs which you can also activate these Topics & Dream World Events & get your precious Scenes too, but your gonna have to be careful as it can . . . quite get your partner (depending thou) quite angry >__>;; & lower her value.

Also, what does this mean? Simple: You don't have to worry about been caught playing Soul Reaver & suddenly one of those "Scenes" comes out, you'll have to make a lot of work if you want those scenes.

:x
