WHATCHU WORKIN' ON? TELL US!

@BM
If that is supposed to be a trailer for a game, it's not doing a very good job of telling potential players what the game is going to be like, because I didn't really learn anything except the names of a couple of planets. You could shorten that trailer down to 20 seconds and add something that actually tells me some information or something happening or whatever.

My motivation for my game is lagging a bit, so while I was browsing Derek Yu's site I cam across a link for Boss Fight Books ( he's writing a book for them about the development of Spelunky ) and bought the e-book of Chrono Trigger yesterday. This despite never playing the game before, it is turning out to be quite an interesting read and has sort of willed me to work on my own project again.

That being: Dialogue and scene writing and trying to flesh out the game's world. But I am touching up some of the pixel art as well for Tristian and trying to think of some new skillsets that is somehow still rooted in the game's world ( aka gameplay meets story ).

...The same as last time, about 2 weeks ago. Dialogue. I have someone who's currently doing a completely optional area in my game, or rather, the inside of an optional area that exists but you can't enter right now. At least something's getting done mapping wise in that regards.

I feel that I can just do the rest of the game's dialogue at this pace. While I'm nearly 3/4 done with beta5's dialogue (on event #18/23, and on the final event of that at that), about 75% of beta6 should be super easy to do as there's not much for the parts where you have to re-recruit characters. And the other 25% of beta5 combined with the 4 dungeons of beta7 are the only really long parts left of the game. Even then, some areas will still be super easy dialogue-wise, so I'm really cleaning up house with that! So for now, going to work solely on that before anything else, as per before. Do you guys think this is a sound way of handling developing the game? Originally, I would map the dungeon out entirely, then do the eventing/dialogue, then the monsters/treasures/etc., and then test the map with my current save file (of which I still have none of). @_@;

(Also, I have a new blog up for those who don't know since I can never tell where blogs will show up for Progress Reports! Still looking for more mappers too : <)

If I'm lucky the project I'm working on will be a commercial game, it will be a very small release but hopefully I willl be able to show in a small local convention, the downside is that it will be zombie game, but hey, its a start!

Yesterday I finally finished and uploaded my IGMC project.
It's the first game I ever finished, so I'm a bit proud at the moment :D

I just finished a system that allows you to stop attacks. I've had it for awhile, it's based on Millenim's Phys/Myst Shield system, but I adapted it for use, and now it does alot of different stuff and displays messages over characters heads (either "Miss" for ground attacks on aerial enemies (I probably want something else but this works), "Physical Block" for stuff like ghosts, "Magical Block" for stuff that stops magic like carbuncles and such, and finally I have "Elemental Block" for monsters made of water or something).

I'm also working on chapter 3 of Tales From The Reaper.

Working on a new game idea. That's the story draft.

It's actually quite easy. The tricky is the whole no monster status check deal, but if you're getting a monster that is consistently phys immune like a ghost, you just do

Char1 uses Attack command
Ghost is targeted
Common event StopAttack

And then fill the event with the condition where you stop an attack (and make a stun status with atk/int checkbox set to 0 and checked, add it and remove it).

There's an attribute condition patch?

There's an attribute condition patch?

Aye, it's...somewhere in the DynRPG plugin thread. I think I was the one to request it, since I remember asking about if it was possible so I didn't have to spend months on my Weapon/Armor Elemental/Status Bless systems.

I have bee working on menu a month now, I still need to tweak some icons a little before I can say it's finished, but core is working now.

Also changing graphic of alpha version :
