Unfortunately, gameplay is a ways off yet... u.u;

As for the HUD, we know what info will be displayed, but not how we want it to look. We'll display the 6 (of 40 or so) skills you can use in combat at a time, health and mana bars, money, experience and probably the zone name you're on.

Not sure if we want a minimap or not... They can be handy, but unlike the first Ara Fell, the maps in this game are pretty streamlined and there's only a few pathes to take. Moreover, the correct path is much more obvious.

Anyway, so it'll probably end up looking something like a less cluttered WoW HUD.

It's pretty much the normal RMXP code, but certain tile numbers have different properties. (For example, we had to code it in so you couldn't walk over top of tree shadows to pass over impassable tiles.)

Somewhere in the code, those cliff tiles are set to "above". (not the normal database tile priority setting)

Anyway, thanks for the compliments!

This has a few errors in it because some of our tileset code is wonky, but I didn't feel like fixing it right now. Anyway, I noticed I was being lazy with my cliffs when mapping Ara Fell's desert region, so I tried to fix them... I think it looks a lot nicer now.

Oh, all of my characters are Lita. They're just renamed in different games. u.u

Am I allowed to post this here? ;o

Rise of the Third Power

Tarion Star, perhaps? R3P was actually going to be a remake of Tarion Star, originally... But it turned into this. I kept the names though. *shrug*

Release Something! Day II [Release Thread]

Rise of the Third Power rerelease. Second part of the game now playable, should be mostly bug free. But I didn't test it fully since I added the battles.

Here's the trailer!

BadLuck's Music Topic

And now another! This one wasn't too challenging to me from an actual composing perspective, since I've played on this scale with these chords a lot.

This particular song is styled after a song I remember from Duke Nukem 3D. It probably doesn't sound anything like it, but that's how I remember it in my head.

I tried really hard to have an A part and a B part... I probably should have repeated the B part once more, but I didn't really like it. Maybe I should have just kept the chords the same and changed the melody instead?

Anyway, here it is. For the most part, I'm pretty happy with it. I definitely like the drums a lot (though the quick drum solo probably comes to early.)

Tell me what you think!

Well, I've tried another one... It's my least favorite so far, but I tried working with different parts of the music. Mala suggested doing something like Part A, Part B, Part A, Part B, but for some reason, I'm having trouble with it. This song doesn't do that, but at least it changes some as you go. It's not finished yet, but I don't know if I'll try to finish it any time soon.

Mala also told me that it gets harder as you go, not easier. As you improve, it takes longer and longer to write a song... I'm beginning to believe him...

BadLuck's Music Topic

Here's my latest! I wanted to try working the bass a little bit, and it started to come out really jazzy... The bass may actually be kind of silly, but it was my first try focusing on it. But I really love how the piano turned out. Anyway, leave your comments!
