Lato, if you want this thread in the Full Games/Long Demos forum, add a couple of screenshots and a little more info on your story, characters and concepts, and you'll be good to go. This is all I've tried to point out to you. We're only trying to keep the project forums organized here.

I have taken the advice of the masses Kingdom has been redone with MUCH more detail! I have taken the advice of the reviews as well, more game info has been posted, 5 screen shots are enough...The broken download link has been fixed, a new custom status screen has been added to the game. So try out the new kingdom, review it, join the team

For starters I really enjoyed the music. Seemed fitting. Your mapping is decent as well (at least in my eyes).

Now for the bad part. The story seems to move along too quickly man. I mean, in the beginning there is a woman talking about Havoc, then couple seconds later I'm in the middle of a battleground. That was fine, but then another minute later( after the fight) I'm in some HQ, speaking to Sir Thade. Slow it down a little man! You have to let certain parts "sink in" if you get what I mean.

Also, I found your teleports to be pretty annoying. This is because you have to manually press the action button in order to do so! Now, I would not have minded as much if there was some kind of warning, but I really thought that I was stuck in certain maps.

Your grammar was also lacking. Things like"Dam",and "It's been 3 years"(Don't use numbers in dialogue) weren't too good. Also, you generally shouldn't use abbreviations in dialogue (Like Gen.).

My last complaint is the difficulty of the fights after you have to head to the 13th's headquarters. Seriously, I COULD NOT DAMAGE THEM with regular attacks. I had to use skills do do any kind of damage, and those skills drain MP like crazy. Add that to the fact that I died in like 20 seconds because the monsters were doing stupid damage to my party.

The game has potential, you just have to work out some of these kinks man.

AWHHHH finally feedback! Hmm I never even thought about the whole # thing in the text, you have a good point im gonna change that right now, and yeah the battle difficulty does need to be smoothed out a bit more. I wasn't really sure what most ppl preferred as far as the having to activate the portals or just move into them... but yeah If I get a few more ppl say it to ill change it. Now comes the big question, the story, yes its true there should be a bit more to "sink in" however im the base of the story if off of my own real military exp so i try and make it accurate in a sense, I didnt do so much of the boring meetings and mission planning that comes with war, yet you do have a point there should be more, Just takes time to find what could be put in to make it interesting while still being somewhat true to military doctrine. This is great though thanks for the feedback more plz!!!! I have improved it alot over the years and want it to be reviewed by as many ppl as possible tell me what you think guys and girls

Ok this is a updated version of Kingdom, smoothed out game play and touched up the dialogue, and am posting it with this new link at the request of the review staff here, hope its enjoyed and any feedback is welcome.

Re-opened at OP's request. Please update according to the current rules.

Thanks!

Ok Kingdom has had a major update since my last post on it in 2009 lol. The char art is all custom now and ive added voiceovers and a few custom pieces here and there. So lots of custom stuff added, the old version was mostly default RTP stuff which I actually liked but I needed res that better fit the time period.

Im gonna try and update this from time to time to better describe it and whats all going on. Since my Kingdom series game and graphic novel are almost done I thought I would update this.

Bump/update- Ok Kingdom has done better then expected and gotten even more funding then I had hoped. I am making this reply to post a small recruitment notice. I NEED a composer! I promised more custom fitting music for my game and I intend to deliver. This is paid work and I am looking for someone that can be my go to guy for music.

Even with all these major enhancements to Kingdom the game is about 85% done, as this is a professional game it needs a more well rounded professional soundtrack so i'm gonna make it happen.

When do you plan to release the game?

Well to be conservative and factor in the time to add in new content Jan 2013. But since i'm working really hard on it a more accurate date would be Aug-Nov 2012, MAYBE sooner if I can actually find a composer thats looking for work, times sure have changed lol.

[Lato]

Bump/update

Kingdom has been overfunded so that means I can hire even more ppl and add in new content/features Im happy to share my success on RRR and ONLY on RRR Really need a composer more then anything....like seriously lol anyone know where I can find a good one or a good site for one

[Lato]

Bump/update Ok just wanted to let ppl know Kingdom is going great, with a load of custom graphics and music things are looking good. I have been making things look and feel more Roman, so I thought id give a little teaser and give a screen shot of my Roman tileset I have been editing.
I made some Roman flags and standards with some Roman symbols.

This game looks really great! As always your art impresses, especially to a non-artistic peon such as myself. The story is really interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing more! Keep up the good work!


This post needs more exclamation points!!!!

Edit: I'd be happy to help with anything you need help with, as long as it's within my talents, lol.

Well Kingdom is still recruiting, the game is commercial and is about 95% done, im just updating the graphics, char sprites and such to fit the time period, I have all the music and story done. I do however could use a event guy to update a few scenes.

[Shaddow]

So interesting fact: It seems this isn't the first time I've helped you with Kingdom. I forgot I used to have a username back in the before time.

I was Darrenus, your original mapper, lol. I fell off the RM interest a while ago, and came back a year or so later, but had pretty much forgotten all I had done.

So yeah, glad to be back and helping out.

[Lato]

I do seem to remember that name lol, I have been working on my game for so long it crazy, but it has paid off to, I never thought my first game would actually make money and get popular, though not so popular on RRR it seems , but its good to have you back then, and just in time to finish Kingdom up!
