Release Something! Day VI - Discussion Thread

I didn't had time to finish off the new message faces/message style of Soldier's Quest... also, there are major bugs that stop the game, which I encountered not too long ago today... I am polishing and getting rid of the bugs right now. For those of you who plan to review SQ, or give your opinions, can you guys please wait for it until I'm done fixing these problems? if anything, can you leave this game for last in your list? I will appreciate it... the problem is... "destroy to re-create" and that's what happened in this version, I got rid of stuff, to remake them. :'( So that explains why the game crashes, when before I never really had this problem, but well, I'll update the RMN game thread with a blog, etc as soon as I'm done. I'm sure I'll be done today.

You go to Deviant Art, man. Regardless if you 'know' people there or not, get the word out. This is what I'm talking about; explore every avenue you have.

Lol, funny that you mention it, I only know maybe 2 people out of the rpgmaker scenery in that site. The rest of the people I have added, are already RM developers, and some of them even have an account here.

Well, I know that you guys focus more on ika, sphere, 2k3 and rmvx... I rarely see rmxp stuff in here, and to be honest I'm glad. I know that this might have sounded weird, but

It has a good side to it... for example, most members here are mature enough, and doesn't start shit. I come from a community that we dealt with a lot of VX newbies and a lot of idiot members who are lazy, untalented, etc... so yeah, I think that the community here is doing fine, for the fact that you, or should I say "We" are focused on releasing our projects, and at the same time we post around topics or contribute on threads... at least "I" do.

Well, on my side I'm going to be contributing to the community, from time to time.

I made this topic to generate action, not just posts that go "Yeah, you're right! *sits around*."

Haha, you are right, a lot of people do this. I personally don't know many people who are actually talented and willing to work... most people I know are useless for these types of jobs. I have met some spriters, but I'm not friends with them, as a matter of fact I should say they are just plain cocky to offer their help to anyone, not even their feedback... so it's just me in this area. I don't mind contributing to be honest, I like it here... but I prefer to do it later on, as I keep getting better at this... so this is something we could talk about later on.

Spring's a comin'-What's your plans?

I don't have a job, so getting a job is my top priorty as of now, as well finish studying some crap books I need to in order to probably enroll in technical school... so basically for me it's more a thing of self improvement economically and in terms of success.

I really have not much interest, at least not for now, about socializing much or not socializing at all when it comes to real life... maybe it's cause of the abuse of going out soo much in the past haha, of course, if anything cool pops up, sure why not.

Release Something! Day VI - Release Thread

This is the short update of Soldier's quest. First of all, this update isn't basically complete, there are things unfinished, some outdated monsters that I did back when I started spriting, and some other small graphical mismatches you will find. I didn't finished setting up the faces with pictures, nor could fix all the small grammar issues that were found in the previous version. XYZ files are mine, made from scratch. The rest are edited rips/compilations I also made for the game. Most of it will be gone in the next upcoming versions. Oh, and there isn't any extra gameplay from the last version.

I'm uploading the game right now. I will provide the download link here, but I will also
update it in the game page in RMN:
http://www.rpgmaker.net/games/709/

I will add screenshots after I update the thread.

EDIT: Done uploading.
http://www.mediafire.com/?mgktnk40wny


EDIT 2:
I have spotted bugs that I forgot to get rid of while I was improving the game. If you download the file from the link, don't delete it, I'm working on a patch right now...

Bugs present...
-the face of the king appears all the time for all dialogue in the throne room.
-regular battle has no music.
-Not all dialogue have faces, and some of them are mismatched in terms of colors.
-The game crashes after the first scene where you meet a healer for the first time if you talk to her to heal you.
(I will fix this problem too, but there is an alternative, and you got to copy Example face.bmp or .png in the picture folder, make sure you check and grab the one with the blonde girl and the white gown.)

Patch will have all that fixed, I'll have it ready by 4pm, and since this thread will be locked, it will be on the RMN game page.

Soldier's Quest 1.5.09.2008

I just realized that you have more than four characters planned and was wanting to ask you if you planned on a battle system that allows for all of them at once or will we be switching out?

Yes, in fact there will be 8 characters total in the game, and 2 secret ones maybe... it will all fall out in place after I get the complete game, cause the game will have the whole system where your actions/decisions affect the outcome of the story.

Unfourtunately, I won't be working on a Custom battle system. I will however, use many custom functions in the game, some which will be executed from the Default battle system, also a lot of animations in it. So yeah, it will be a custom switching screen in the map.

I am going to do a bar for all the customs, which will all be called when you press the following keys in the keyboard:

1,2,3,4,5.

1= Default Menu with custom symbols from scratch screen.
2= Emblems system screen.
3= Crafting system screen.
4= Quest system screen.
5= Party Switching screen.

I'm doing some fixing of the release something version today... I will update the information with what has been fixed in this small update of today... I'm working on the game right now, so it won't be ready until midnight.

Have you ever cried for someone?

author=Feldschlacht IV link=topic=3369.msg67147#msg67147 date=1237581051
I'm not much of a crier when it comes to my own woes, but I've definitely shed tears out of empathy for others, and of course I've cried when I lost those close to me. When one of my grandmothers passed away when I was younger, I was really bawling over that when the news broke to me, especially considering it was relatively sudden. A few years back I cried over the 'heartbreak' (in retrospect it seems so silly now) at losing my high school girlfriend to college separation.

Considering how the girl herself turned out to be, or rather what I finally noticed about her once the rose glasses came off (she was not the best of people!) that seems really silly. Most recently though, I cried like a baby last year, when my mom was (and still is) really sick.

Yeah, I'm sure that I will feel the same if something similar happens to my parents. Well, yeah, like I said, looking back now, it feels kinda silly, but at that time, it wasn't as funny or silly...

Have you ever cried for someone?

I've never cried for a family member (not yet at least, I'm actually expecting myself to feel really bad when my parents pass on...)

I have cried over a girl before; two actually. Now that I think back on it, both instances were idiotic and I thought I was stupid for crying about them. I hope I never cry again!

Sorry about the loss of your parents. That must have been really hard, I can't picture loosing both my parents, that would be devastating. And, no it's not idiotic to cry over past loves, in fact, it's something you can't really control, if things are as serious as I think they are. In my case, this girl that I was into, was something completely different to me than what I consider the average girl.

Have you ever cried for someone?

Well first off all, now that I really decide to write this topic, this does sounds kinda pathetic haha... but either way, let's just get down to it. Well, I actually I'm the type of person that rarely ever cry or get sad. There has been two girls in my lifetime that let's say I have loved or whatever... the first time around It wasn't like the second time, since I was younger and really, relationships as much intense as I thought they were, weren't really a big deal for sad moments to really strike me this bad lol.

The second time I had strong feelings for someone, it was a whole different story... it was something more complicated, in all terms. There were times that I actually ended up crying, for many reasons, not because I was too soft or whatever... I mean, I'm sure that you probably met an specific someone that you get that reflects that whole positive change in you... make you inspired enough to become that someone that you really want to be.

In most cases, loosing someone who had great influence over you, makes you feel uneasy, sad, or whatever the case... while this is in my past completely, I just wonder if anyone of you have gotten into similar situations. Share your views now.

moin,
maybe you guys wanna check out the video about the teaser for demo 3 of ''Soldier's Quest'' I made back in December:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3ocIleQYbM
Antifarea does not like the music I think, but I will never use Punkrock X,-D.
So let's see what demo 3 will show us tomorrow. You kept us hungry for a long time now ;-D

Haha, sorry, the demo for today (friday) won't contain as much story, in fact there are many things on the works, but unfinished, so very little completed stuff the game will have... on the next update however, which is something already in the works, there I'll have actual serious progress done, since all engines will be finished, as well many new graphics done. Also, I like the music, of course you know that punk rock is one of my main preferences haha, thanks anyway again for linking the video here as well.

author=Tyranos link=topic=449.msg67090#msg67090 date=1237524810
This was a fun demo and I hope you finish it up.

Glad to know, and lol you guys bumping this thread caught me by surprise. I'll update this thread later on, with information on this short update, concrete information about the progress, and what has been done/is in the works, as well what's coming up next. I will be updating this in some hours.
