Thank you so much for your comment, and it really appreciate your effort for testing my game. 1 thing I am sure that will be inside is that the mapping is so damn noobish, but don't worry. I have understudied RMXP mapping for a month sometime ago and now the mappings look much better now (Sorry that is in Chapter 2). Maybe when I finish Chapter 2, I might publish it, or at least give some screenshots.

Also not to go off topic. But my name is shawn.

Wow, cool! If you have any points you don't understand at one point, you will understand in the later part of the game. I don't want people coming and flame that the story is too puzzling. At the end of Chapter 1, the story is still covered in the mist. The demo(Chapter 1) is only the outline of what Shawn is supposed to do in the game and basic information of his memories as well as the internal world. Trust me, you would want to play Chapter 2.

I have created a simple banner with a spare 10 minutes I have:

Can anyone teach me how to make the banner attached with a link? For example, when I click on the banner, it will link me to the topic(in other words, here). Help is appreciated.

Also, how can I take a full map screenshot? I am really having troubles because I'm a beginner in this kind of things.

Thanks!

Sorry for bumping, but I really to urgently ask a question.

How can I take a fullscreen screenshot? Because the maps in Chapter 2 are much,much,much better than in Chapter 1's and are considerably much larger, I need to take a full-screenshot of the map .

Please reply as soon as possible because I need to take a lot of screenshots to keep the post updated.

Thanks!

Hello people

Just to update, I am in the progress to remapping some lousy maps I made last time. Will be putting up a lot of screenshots.

Thanks hope you guys can complete the whole demo XD. I know it's not quite of quality, but I'm trying my best to do whatever I can.

[AphidRuin]

Erm....I would like to have more comments....

Thanks

[~SilverPhoenix~]

Downloading now. I post what I think later.


EDIT: Okay I played it now.
Your maps are terrible, sorry. Search for 'rmxp mapping tutorial' on youtube if you want to improve them. Look for 'willowhides' videos they are really good.

The story is good, but the dialouge could need some improvement.

And the beginning were kinda boring when you should fight until you made it to lvl 5.

Yeah, I agree with SilverPhoenix. I forgot to mention this problem, but I totally fell asleep and I tried to reach Level 5. No players want to train at first, you see. May be you should think another way like... make a new map and ask our character to train there until he is level 5? Or somethiing similiar. It's boring that all you can do in the beginning is walk to Reas(or Memory? I'm not sure...) and train, when your HP is low, you talk to the inn and continue to fight... The loop is repeated.

[AphidRuin]

Thanks for your comments! Good thing is that, I have remapped the beginning sections( Ehivan Highlands, Ehira). Please do tell me which map is the worst and I will spend time improving them.

About the falling asleep loop part, yes, thank you! I appreciate criticisms like that! I'm not crazy, but i am very happy that people made comments for me to improve! Anyway, I have a very new idea, which is what I call the mission system. Have you played Megaman before? My idea is that the character will be teleported to 4 different places to do a specific job, like carrying something back. The process would be made more fun and reduce time spent, in my opinion.

Tell me how you think about it, while I attempt to remap the maps in Chapter 1 and publish a very long demo when Chapter 2 is . Or maybe the remapped version of the demo. Thanks! Woots!

Hello again

It has been sometime since I posted the new demo Did anyone went to try it? Was it better than before or worse?

Anyway, the project is getting on its climax where the Seven Guardians of the Tower of Mirror (SGTM) are introduced. And I had planned to expand Ehira and change the encounter rates, because some of my friends said that Ehira was way too small.

Thanks.

Updates

[EDIT]
-New patch; fixed a bug when you cannot enter the status screen.

Just consider this as a bump

Just to inform everyone this game is still under-development! I was afraid that someone would close this topic because there isn't any more posts or move it into the dormain project section.

Also, please comment!

Thank you!

Nice game,and I enjoyed the whole demo being quite addicted, but mainly for the battle system and the features.

I have seen many people saying that your mapping is not quite good,but I feel that it applies only to the front part of the game.I saw many bad maps in Chapter 1,like Ehira being so empty and everything's apparently all HOUSES AND HOUSES.Add more varieties to your maps and colors to make players more interested.

It's quite funny that it has been no post for such a long time XD.I understood the story, but with much difficulties though.Try to get someone to check on your grammar and sentence structure.

I laughed at some parts in Chapter 1 too. Anyway,good luck for your project. I am only at the Sea of Baus.So,I might try Chapter 2 later.

[bulmabriefs144]

Interesting story, though I might suggest a few grammatical corrections and a more refined story, you kind of jump into these immortals and the Ehira and Kanth, without exactly explaining who and what they are. If you would like any help, I would be more then happy to offer my assistance, I would also suggest recruiting some other people to work on this project, as it is extremely hard to work on a project alone.

He's an artist, not a writer. As is obvious from the art. I'm more of a programmer than an artist. As is obvious from my art.
