Misaos and the Final Demo Release Date

Hey guys,

So I just uploaded a video to youtube showcasing the nifty new comic style I'm using for significant scenes:




I've also gone ahead and added a download for the video for anyone who wants it (still pending). Really, the only reason I did this was so that my game could be voted on for the Misaos. The original demo was released only a few days before the new year, which probably was kind of stupid on my part. A number of people have already expressed interest in voting my demo for a Misao, so I'd like to at least give them the opportunity before the next version comes out. I didn't really want to resubmit the same download because I didn't want to get people all jazzed up thinking it was a new demo. I hope this will allow people to vote for my game, but I guess we'll just have to see. Karsuman was okay with it, so hopefully Magi is cool with it too.

Speaking of the next demo...

1/1/11

I will be releasing the next demo on New Years Day. Haha, funny, I didn't realize it would be all 1's until after I typed it. I thought about releasing it on Christmas day like I did last year, but in the off-chance someone would actually want to vote it for a Misao next year, I thought I might as well wait a few days (and not make the same mistake again).

Anyway, this demo should be about 60% of the completed product. It will also be the last demo before the final release (woohoo!). I still have a bit I need to finish, but I've been diligent, and I should get a majority of it finished over Thanksgiving and Winter Break. I may have a few people beta test it, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Cheers!

Nifty artwork indeed! Lovely release date, too.
Wow! That looks awesome! But please, don't use the text box like that, it gets in the way of the cool art, and it just look ugly in general... is better to add the text in a single line at the very bottom of the screen, it will look classier that way...

Heh; Gotta try this new demo when it's out. =)
Craze

I thought the box worked well. Truly impressive; it doesn't look as bad in 2k3 as I thought it would.

That scene actually, y'know, got me a little scared myself. Good work!

EDIT: How does it look full-screen in 2k3? Shitty, I imagine?

What's this song? part of the custom soundtrack?

Anyway, nice atmosphere! But I agree it'd look better without the textbox.
@Fallen Griever make a shortcut and click properties, afterward on target area do it like this

"C:\Users\Archeia\Documents\Rm2k3\Alter Aila Genesis\RPG_RT.exe" "TestPlay" "ShowTitle" "Window" "1"

except you know forever's end and stuff.
I know I've heard the first song somewhere.

EDIT: I've watched this several times and the sound effects are so out of place. VERY cool cutscene though. Marcellus is as cool as always.

All games look shitty in full-screen on my laptop because it's widescreen...

Did anyone ever release a patch for RM2K3 that auto-starts the game in windowed mode?


You can fix this. Go into your Graphics Control Panel (depends on the manufacturer, ATI/Nvidia usually have it attached to the right-click menu, Intel has it in the control panel) and see if you can find an option to force the original aspect ratio. This should get your GPU to attach black bars to the side of the screen when running a full screen program that doesn't match up to your monitor's aspect ratio.

(too bad everybody breaks this option every third or so update)
The sound effects do no wonders for this cutscene. Cool, though.

Do you mean the quality of the sound effects? Some of the effects towards the end of the video got unsynched for some reason, but it only did it in the video and not the actual game.

Oh, and the song isn't original. If you can guess where it's from, I'll give you a dollar.

EDIT: Oh yeah, just wondering, but can people vote for my game now?

The irony is that I was going to vote this game as Most Promising Demo yesterday. Now I can!
