Under construction. This game is undergoing a complete overhaul.

In other words, it's becoming the game it was meant to.

Sadly, I cannot simply leave it at 'under construction' status because I have just been informed that the value (in this example, the Description box) must contain at least 500 characters. :/ This is slightly upsetting. However, I only have another hundred odd characters to go so I will just finish this paragraph and then I should be done. Well, nearly. Forty to go. I think. Right? Ignore all this.

A break from RM'ing and a word about the Apocalypse [10/21/12]

Alright. So I'm gonna take a few days off so I can focus on learning some Ruby and RGSS3. Yes, that means this is going back to Ace. After using VX for a week, I decided Ace really was the better of the two.

So what does this entail?

Well after my short break I'm going to port everything over to Ace. With Hanzo's tilesets combined with Mack's. The maps should hopefully remain in the same basic shape. Meaning that I'll be doing my best to keep the houses and stuff in the same position.

Anyway, that's what's going on with The Alchemist's Brother.

Onto other news about the Apocalypse:

If you're like me, you heard everybody and their grandmother talking about 'OMFG! 12/21/12 IS THE END! (21/12/12 if you're not from US)'

Well, it's only two months (exactly) from that day and I don't hear anybody talking about it anymore. .. Well, that might be due to the fact that I'm a loner since I got out of school. But I digress.

Anyway, that's your daily blog. Don't expect another one until next week. I won't update this for one week. Seriously. So don't bother checking. On the 28th, I promise you'll get something.

FMA exceptthe brothers are seperate?
Alchemy classes are very interesting and very fun with the ACE engine.
I hope to see nifty things over time~

Yeah, same reaction there.
The backstory is kinda like FMA.
And dude, there's Alphonse.
I hope the father doesn't turn out to be an exact copy of Hohenheim.

What in the world is FMA?

FMA = Full Metal Alchemist. It's an anime series about ur.. well, alchemists. And brothers.

But I've read through the backstory, and I don't think it's all that similar. I'mma sub 'cause I like how this looks! :D

I've never heard of it. And I don't want to look it up because if I do, I'm afraid people will be even more like 'you copied this thing and that thing.'

Maybe once it's done I'll check it out. Is it a good anime? Lol.

/me is watching DBZ at the moment, in the Majin Buu Saga.

It'ssss.. it's okay, yeah! It's good for like 10 episodes and then it starts to spiral out of well-explained plot for a bit, and then it comes back for one or two good episodes before ending in a really unsatisfying way. There's a new series called FMA: Brotherhood which is based off of the manga, and is apparently much better.

I wouldn't worry about copying it: your story doesn't sound much like it other than having a character with a name similar to 'Alphonse' and having alchemists/people who are brothers. :P And if you do somehow copy it without ever seeing it, that's fine because people love FMA. A lot.

Also,
/me hasn't watched anime in a long, long time..
Didn't Edward die at the end of the first FMA series? Lol, yeah definitely watch the second series(it's basically a remake), it has a much better storyline, more characters, and slightly improved artwork quality.

Anyway, I'll be subbin' up in here as well, since I like what you have so far~ :)

You ruined it for me!!!! D:

Just kidding lol. I think I may watch the anime. Might give me ideas for the alchemy system.

And thanks for subbing. Means a lot to me that so many people are interested in my project. :)

Yeah sorry about that, the only thing similar to FMA (manga) is the two brothers, their father who went away when they were still kids, and their mother who died shortly after.

*looks at main logo* ... *looks at summary* Hm!

Actually, it's starting to remind me of Tales of Graces with the two brothers (one with red hair one with blue) who are separated as kids! XD But again, the similarities aren't strong. Separation of family is quite a common storyline these days, but damn is it good!

But I'm really lovin' the looks of this game. Your mapping is improving with every screenshot you send out. Keep up the good work!

Tales of Graces? /me neverheardofit

And yeah, my skills just keep improving. About two years ago is when I started playing around with RMVX and I took like a 6 month hiatus on it to focus on learning some musical stuff and look for a job.

The current characters are only placeholders. I've got to find someone who can sprite for me but that's not really so important right now. I'm focusing on mapping, story, database stuff, etc.

Tales of Graces is just a videogame with a large anime influence. It's also pretty cool, much like FMA!

Learning music sounds like a good plan - I much prefer games with original music over original graphics. RTP/edits are pretty nice, but the RTP music isn't quite so good as it used to be in previous makers. Jobs can wait. :P

Maybe you should learn to do some spriting! This is a really good tutorial for spriting which I found incredibly helpful when I started out. It's not so tricky, it's just time consuming.

Not when you have a 6 month old baby, lol.

I've read some of his stuff but I never saw the spriting tutorial. Definitely checking it out.

Ohh, yes I forgot about children and their dependencies and whatnot. XD Well good luck with that! I hope that means you'll still have time for the game!

I have enough time to dedicate to the game. :) One thing I've always been good at is time management.

Didn't Edward die at the end of the first FMA series?
He didn't die I think, he just got transported somewhere. xD


Also, @Bassfire,
Your maps could honestly do with some improvement, in my opinion. They look a bit empty...
Try adding in more stuff; flowers, more trees, etc. to spruce it up a bit. Also, what's with one map having big trees and a big house, yet the others don't? Seems a little odd...
Just my opinion, though.

Is that right? He looked like he died anyway, lol well it's been years since I've seen it, so I must've been mistaken. :)

These maps are just a bit of early planning. I was using Hanzo's cliff set but I switched over to Mack's tiles. Trust me, the maps I'm working on now look much nicer. I've posted them already over here: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/5498-the-alchemists-brother/

I'll be updating there more often because it's easier to maintain than here at RMN.
