HELLO!!!! ITS ME!!!! :3 an games lookin' gewd im making crazy town map now

Yay you finally signed up Lucifers_daughter, and thank you for the compliment

Hello this is Mickychi I am posting to inform that about 30% percent of the mapping is complete. The way Im counting is by the world map, and going that town is complete, that area is complete like that. The reason I am posting this is I am after making two more area's going to start eventing the start to try to get a trial out. (not sure how long its gonna take though) Anyway I am going to start accepting NPC's so if anyone wants an NPC in my game the things I need to know about it is His/hers name, age, what you want to say and if you could the character grapic for your NPC (Im using rpg maker xp so it has to be a spirt for xp).

Hello I'm posting to say this game has not been abanded I just a a break due to I didn't have much time to work on it during the holidays.
Anyway I will be posting some screenshots in the next week or two.

Some Screen shots (Only of first town and one of somewhere else)How do they look?

They look good, but I noticed a lot of symmetry in them.

There is meant to be symmetry in some of them

Cool maps. Maps has always been the death of me, ugh.

That aside, the town seem awfully blank to me. Compared to, say, Aveyond. You might want to reduce the map size or add more stuff into the scene. Given how frustratingly slow the default walking speed can be sometimes, walking around can be very tiring.

With the symmetry thing, I was mostly talking about the mansion/castle inside. I think there should still be some small differences or something. But yeah, I know it's needed sometimes ^^

Oh and LOL, I just noticed but one of the sprites in the town, looks a lot like one I once did. But mine is a bit darker and the hair is a bit flashier Just thought it was pretty fun ^^

Daeva_agas:

Hmm... thanks for the suggestion but I might keep it the way it is for now and when I get a demo out(When ever that is going to be)I'll ask opions about if it should have more stuff in it.

Slimmmeiske2:

With the mansion inside I'll do the same as I said above for the town. And which sprite, all the sprites that I used are ones that come with rpg maker xp.

Well, most people who plays RPG that I know have problems with games that have very empty-looking maps. If you don't need that much extra space, maybe you should trim down the map size. I mean, people make stuff big to fit many things into it.

Again, look at Aveyond. If the place is big, it has many stuff in it. If the map has not so many stuff in it, the map is relatively small. Or it's a huge map that contains many small pieces of maps. Maps for cave systems and castles in Aveyond usually do this. It's one huge map that has all the rooms and hallways necessary, even the small rooms that you have to go through doors to get to.

Many stuff gives the illusion of smaller space, making the travel distance seem shorter. It's not as frustrating to travel long distances, unless you somehow toggle the walking speed to be faster than normal. Put many flowers! Bushes, weeds and fallen leaves. Rivers or streams. Winding paths. Pebbles and rocks. Little animals walking around. Maybe it's a town, so put many civilians walking around. Have crates and barrels. Maybe a huge fountain in the middle.

The fighter sprite with purple hair. You didn't edit her a bit? Cause she looks pretty pale there I'm pretty sure you recoloured her, since she has blue hair in the RTP.

Slimmmeiske2:
Oh her I think when I choose her I just put her slightly paler with the Hue function/thing

Daeva_agas:
Hmmm....... I know what you mean, but some of the town is a beach area so it's meant to be a little empty.... but I am still going to go with what I said before in my other post.

Ah, that explains it

@mickychi: Not sure what you mean by "it's meant to be a little empty". As in devoid of people? The problem with that is not so much the existence of NPCs as the map itself is empty and blank. For example, the tavern/bar doesn't need to be THAT big. Places are made big only if they're meant to have many things/people in them. There are wasted empty spaces that would make it highly inefficient to navigate through maps.

I mean, think about it in real-life. Walking through a long road feels less long and tiring if there is a nice scenery along the way. It feels long, tiring, and boring if it's a barren land with nothing at all. Plus, bigger maps would mean longer walking distances. RMXP's default walking speed is quite slow. Unless there is a shortcut, like Aveyond's magic mirror or portal stone, or a way to speed up characters' walking speed, it's better to try keeping the walking distance as short (or at least FEELS as short) as possible.

You don't have to add stuff to the maps. You can always just make the maps smaller. Since the latter is harder and more tedious, adding more stuff into the scene would be easier.

Again, speed --> happy players. In the last Aveyond beta testing round I believe most betas made use of the speed-increasing quiksilver a whole lot. Everyone loves the speediness

Hey another update
This is the intro of Tresured Locket so far, there are some things that will change though, like the sprites (I haven't got those you play as sprites yet so Im just using other one's at the moment) There might also be some changes to the script later to make it better but this is what it currently is.



Please tell me what you think of it, and yes I know that my mouse is in the shot. (Also some of my breathing can be heard, but it takes me forever to upload a video on youtube and the last few trys to get this up failed to upload and this one worked so please don't comment about the breathing)

The intro looks good, but don't forget to ed sentences with points and questions with the question mark. (I'm sorry, couldn't help noticing that.) Other than that it looks good.

Oh, you might want to make the height of the house longer, so the textbox appears under the characters, instead of on them.

Yeah I need to go through the script and add gramer marks I know that, and making the house longer thats a good idea thanks!

i Suggest to make the charaters customizable so people who hate having their charater wear one outfit too long. also i suggest there be a breif answer the half and half thing in the begining and if its good or bad.

Well as for the outfit, the game is only going to be small, and will be like a side game that happens a few years before another game that I plan to make (After I finish this game and Lillian's journy) that it ties into with the locket stuff and all that happens in the game.

Also the thing about the half thing, you will see some things in the game about it but basicly most human's and elf's don't get along well, and don't live together so there will be some NPC's and characters you meet that either don't like or like elf's. And also you won't see a lot of elf's at all in the game because of it being a side story like I said above (But in the game I plan to make that it ties into you will see a lot of elf's.)
