GAME DRIVE WEEK 03
Posts
Apologies for how brief this post is. Just finished work and I'm in a bad area for Internet. I've decided we kinda need a thing each week to keep everything moving along at a nice pace and encourage discussion, this week we want to know who your main character is! Where does he come from? What drives him? What does he look like? I'll post my own when I get home, either as an extension to this post or as a reply.

My main character is named Savannah. She is the little nine-year-old girl in the overalls with the pig tails. Her mother is currently in a life-threatening coma with little prospects of surviving. Her father left her with a family friend and took off afterwards. While bored, she explores the attic of the family friend's house when she comes across an old computer. She turns it out and a door appears. She hears her mother's voice calling for help on the other side of the door and opens it to find herself in a new world called Bit Bonton, a land made of vaporware games.
There she fights monsters which frees the souls of NPCs and locales. One NPC, Mr. Otter, explains to her that only she can restore Bit Bonton, because she comes from the same world as "The King." She believes that her mother's soul is sealed in Bit Bonton (being a nine year old that doesn't know any better) so she travels across New York City trying to find artifacts of "The King" and continually restore and unlock the old and abandoned world of Bit Bonton.

The hero of Neo Lescia is Nickolai Algald. For as long as he can remember, he has worked as a slave on the Terima Estate, the home of a rich businessman. As a child he yearned to explore the world like the heroes in his story books, but his dream was quickly pt to rest when he and some other children were taken from their hometown and put to work at the estate. However, a mysterious government operation and a war against Necromancers may soon give rise to his dream once more...


Alexa is the main character of my entry. She is a sixteen year old orphaned girl with a foggy past and future. She awakens one morning in a strange place surrounded by people who claim that they know her. She quickly uncovers that she has received amnesia by some mysterious means, and that all she can remember of her past is a fading, unclear dream in which a strange man came to her peaceful mountain town and kidnapped a friend of hers. She quickly begins to aid her new friends in their affairs, but soon discovers that they are wrapped up in a war against the Imperials. She is quite irrational and will speak before thinking very often.

Isaac is a fairly young, talented and passionate botanist. He lives with his mother and father in his hometown where he works at the item shop, creating potions out of herbs and plants. He is quick to judge and has a strong dislike for the very wealthy. This is mostly because so many of them posses magical abilities permanent fused to their being and they frequently fall ill due to overuse and the unnatural strain it has on the human body. Isaac is one of the few who can create the Novo Tonic which can subdue the effects of the illness, but he does not willingly sell the tonic for various reasons.
All three of the main character are under the impression that when they turn 13 they'll turn into a teenager and loose everything about themselves. They think that by turning into teenagers that they will be completely different people.
Rob: The oldest in the group. He remembers his older brother turning 13 and in his mind, his brother turned into a completely different person overnight. He's got a smart mouth that tends to get him and his friends into trouble. He's also the one in the group that comes up with plans though they are often rough and undefined. He turns 13 when the clock strikes 12 and he's determined to get the most out of his childhood "before the fat lady sings". *Blue Eyes, Dark Hair*
Georgia: The second oldest and the 'girl' of the group though she's not very girly. She clashes with Rob somewhat and shoots down most of his dumb ideas. She's worried that when she turns 13 that she is going to have to start acting girly and where "frilly stuff and makeup". So she wants to be her tomboyish self for as long as she can. *Orange Eyes, Reddish-Brown Hair*
Manny: He's the youngest of the group and also the most innocent. Although he loves pulling pranks, he is never out to hurt anyone and doesn't understand why people get so mad at him. Though many people think he's stupid, he is actually very intelligent with a strategic mind. While Georgia shoots down Rob's crazier ideas, Manny brings to life his plausible ideas. He doesn't seem terribly worried about being a teenager because teenagers "still get to pull pranks and stuff" and that's all he cares about. He wants a good laugh. *Gray Eyes, Light Brown Hair*

My Main charactor is customizable.
At the start you can choose name and appearance (out of 5 of the rtp sprites).
The main charactor is a guy, created by some random goddess to save the world. I dunno what he's gunna save the world from... ):
Im still working on everything.

Elizabeth Beleryon is a very lonely scientist on the field of Ether Technology. Daughter of doctor Yorus Beleryon from the prestigious Elfheim academy who was always to busy with his work to care for his family, specially after Eliza´s mother and sister died on a car accident. This led Eliza to devote her life to science to try and get closer to her father, but the devotion to science seems to have caught her in the same way as her father making her a lot like him and setting her away from social interests besides those required for her research. She is so devoted that she is willing to sacrifice anything and anyone to attain the knowledge she desires.
Now her and her research partner Ladea were selected to be part of a special project by Yggdrasil Foundation and the Royal army to create a more advanced system to control and interface with machines using Ether embeded on engeizers (mechs) and due to their extraordinary abilities in Ether manipulation, Eliza signed herself and Ladea as test pilots for the 2 prototype units loaded with the new system.
Little does she know that many parties are after those prototypes and that her devotion to science will lead her to a lot of danger.
I really like YDSs main character. Kind of has a Wizard of Oz/ Pans Labyrinth feel to it. I also particularly like the idea of three kids that don't want to turn 13.
My main character is a soldier and works in a party of three. He's well known and respected for his heroic acts and battle prowess. He begins to doubt the morality of his orders however, and notices inconsistencies in what he hears from his superiors, making him dangerously suspicious q out how the country and it's military are being run.

Well... *cough*
Aurora is a normal hard workin' girl. She has a lot of family issues, so she moved out to be by herself and live by her own rules. Her father owns a mega-popular outlet of chain stores throughout the world and manages them in the biggest city (I haven't named it yet), and she hasn't spoken to her mother since she can remember. She has two siblings, Dimitri and Natalie, that are in some of the most prestigious schools in the land. Aurora just wants to enjoy a peaceful life. So what she's lonely? She's got a job she likes, her best friends are also her co-workers.
She works at a used bookstore in her hometown, and when a mysterious stranger comes in looking for a specific book, her whole peaceful world is thrown out of whack. Turns out the stranger was looking for a magical book that unleashes all sorts of powers upon her and her fellow coworkers!
...and I have a problem which is severely irking me!
Here, first let me show you where my problem is...
I can't save ANY database stuff. I wanna make my characters and monsters and stuff like that now!! But now matter how much I change, and can't seem to get the window smaller or anything... so how can I make it smaller?! This has prevented me from getting anything done for a while, and it usually just pisses me off so much that I shut down the thing and do something else.

Suzuricho: You can always use the Tab key. Use your mouse to click/highlight the weapon and then press tab until it goes over the Ok button. Then press enter.
I'm just curious, but how did you get the Database screen to be so big?

Suzu is here :D
Oh anyway, seems like you got to open RMVX at 800x60 resolution or something... o.o Which is not supposed to be possible I guess... But if you want try some higher resolution...
Also interesting character, love the sprite.

Yay, Clest!! ^____^ D'awww, it's more Famitsu than my own work, but thank you anyway. I want it to be smaller!! Is there a way to do that? It does this now AUTOMATICALLY and I can't work on anything.
@Irilli: while that sounds like a good idea, how would I know if it was on the okay button if it won't show it to me?

Which screen resolution are you using Suzu? Also did you try reinstalling VX?
And it is still nice regardless :)

I finally got into the meat of my game a couple days ago. Right now I've been working on the opening:
Also I did some recolors of the soldier sprites, since the old ones I had were awful. Now all the soldiers have differing sprites based on rank and country.
Now I have to go and get the gamepage in order.

So when is everyone planning on putting up a gamepage?
Lennon: Are there only going to be silver and gold accolades on the officers?

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, Irili. The ranking goes (from left to right): Officer-Cadet, Second Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Lieutenant-Colonel and Colonel. The Brigadier-General and Major-General are going to have special sprites that I haven't started yet, and the Lieutenant-General and General are main characters.
I'm working on getting my gamepage up and running again, but I need to put out more up to date content before I can do that.
EDIT: If you're asking if other countries are going to have other accolades, then yes. The ones I put up were from a country known as Garocha. Other soldiers from Areccia have blue shoulder pads instead of gold, although they still get gold armor in the highest ranks.

post=YDSKind of reminds me of a futuristic Chronicles of Narnia in a way. Cool!My main character is named Savannah. She is the little nine-year-old girl in the overalls with the pig tails. Her mother is currently in a life-threatening coma with little prospects of surviving. Her father left her with a family friend and took off afterwards. While bored, she explores the attic of the family friend's house when she comes across an old computer. She turns it out and a door appears.
