Tardis, you have my sincere respect if you can ever replicate an Underground train at rush hour.
I'm almost done translating the end of Episode 3 for Seraphic Blue, so if all goes well, I should be able to release the Seraphic Blue Prologue Translation Demo by Christmas.

That said, I've just uploaded the Seraphic Blue game profile which is now on pending and have uploaded some images as a headstart. Will be updated once (and if) the profile's approved :0
Dude, I don't even know what I'm working on. I was working on chapter 3 of Necropolis, but I've decided I don't like the game very much (except for the battles and general outline for the story). I'm seriously considering a fresh start once I get a better sense of direction on how I should assemble these dungeons and how to interlace the cut-scenes appropriately.
I hope you don't fresh start yourself into not finishing it ever.

Jude: Just finish it. The glory of finishing something outweighs not having it be the best product ever. You can always do better, but finishing something is a skill in and of itself.

Don't be a statistic. Be a hero.

Suggestions for renaming Eaglesong are appreciated. (It was originally Eagle's Flight, but that doesn't fit nicely into the command menu.) +2 Weapon Chain means that "weapon attack" skills hit an extra two times.
Slaving away on a script. Unlike the majority of my RM projects (which all fail due to scope creep), I'm writing a script for all the dialogue and scenes in the game. I have a goal set in mind and have outlined most of the game. Meanwhile, I've asked my friend to be the artist and composer. Right now, he's creating concept art for the characters in the game.

We've both been "RPG Making" on the console makers for a decade now (mainly dicking around in the editor and making parody games), but this is the first time we've actually worked together on a PC RPG Maker. A week or so ago, I asked him, "Why don't we team up on a project for once?" He got it straight away. Since he's an artist and an up-and-coming DJ, I thought we should combine our talents; he makes the graphics and score while I write the story for the game and actually develop it. Plus, this will be good advertisement for his talent, too.

The experience has actually been good thus far, but we're really only a week or so into it. None of my games prior to this have actually had a pre-production phase, but this one does. I'm not actually touching the program until I have written and completely fleshed out the story as well as the mechanics, and he has finished the art and the score. My first team project. It actually feels pretty good, actually. :)

So, yeah. Just working on the script, which will be a really rough version of a film draft, since it is for a game. Mechanics come later. I'm also extensively researching the time period in which the game takes place (1216) and the events that surround it.
I'm trying to spell check my project right now :( before it goes up on the site...
I'm also trying to think of a good introduction to the second act of the game...
Currently trying to learn Game Maker. Here's what I've mustered after working in it for about an hour. I know, that must sound pathetic to Game Maker gurus.


I sprited the ship and projectiles (lol) myself. The background is just a placeholder. I'll sprite a real background myself in the next day or two.

In this video, I just move the ship around (which changes it's sprite based on what it's doing), and firing off shots.

Next on my agenda is to give the ship proper thruster animations and sound effects, as well as learning how to make "dummy" objects to shoot at and destroy.

The ship firing sounds just like it does in the real Einhander, though you can't hear it in this video because for some reason I couldn't get sound to record. I had to manually add the music to the video.

I'm really enjoying this so far, and it's fun to teach myself. Any Game Maker users feel that this is a decent start?

Working on a playable demo for The Puppeteer
This is the first time I've worked with rpgmaker2003 seriously and on top of that I'm working towards a shooting game.
Which I find tedious. x.x

But overall the experience is fun, trying hard to make a creepy atmosphere, while making it action-y.

UPRC, are you using code? I strongly suggest that you do.

And yeah, you know what you're doing somewhat! Good start.

    targets = []
curr = 1
battler.chain.times do
dude = opponents_unit.smooth_target(@target_index)
hits = battler.chain / curr
goal = (30.00 + ([dude.calc_hit(battler) - 100, -10].min + ((battler.agi - 40) / 1.50)) / 2.00) * hits
p "Name: " + battler.name + " | Hit: " + dude.calc_hit(battler).to_s + " | Current: " + hits.to_s + " | Result: " + goal.to_s
targets.push(dude) if rand(100) < goal
curr += 1
end
dude = opponents_unit.smooth_target(@target_index)
targets.push(dude) if targets == []

Chaining success rate:
30+ (Hit Overflow + (TEC|FOC - 40 / 2)) / 2) * (Chain Max / Current Hit)

Hit Overflow is accuracy - 100; this means that weapons with 125% hit rate are useful for chaining and not just combating high-evasion enemies, as is a high Balance (accuracy+) stat.
No, I'm not using any code since I'm still brand new to Game Maker. I'm just trying to get used to basic things first. Also I have a habit of not being able to learn any code easily so I'm definitely waiting before I try to tackle it at all.

This is the time RIGHT NOW when you want to start using it. I'm serious. It's like learning a language at an early age because, well... that's exactly what it is. You're putting yourself at a disadvantage.

Gogogo!
I've toyed with a lot of ideas for a long time but as of late I've begun to focus on a project to build a game in the style of Legend of Zelda with Multiplayer, Character Customization, and a Huge Play World as the focus. Think of it as a mini MMO in 8-Bit/16-Bit fashion(undecided yet).

I'm not sure on a lot of things, chief among them how I'm going to do it, but I have begun work on editing the original Link sprites for the purpose of at least having some direction to go in image wise. My Original thought was 6 Races and 6 Classes with the option to choose gender too, but for now I think we'll stick with four models.

I'll have something up soonish

VampireZer0, have you ever produced any sort of MMO before? Maybe you should try something smaller, first.
Not really, its not meant to be an MMO at all, more like Diablo 1 or 2.

I understand the implications of this undertaking and a great deal of time will have to go into it I know, but I think its something I'll eventually finish.

My plan is for a single player demo first in those regards.

Edit: I'm thankful for the suggestion though.
