German game: In the heart of darkness: first game with gay characters?

That's not really gay, that's more like transgender or something like that, gay or straight has to do with your object of attraction, if you like your same sex or the other one, not if you consider yourself a male or a female. As far as I know flea never made any moves or said he was attracted to the same sex.

German game: In the heart of darkness: first game with gay characters?

There are games with effeminate chars, but that's not the same as then being gay, I haven't played Enchanted arms, but apart from him being a flaming feminine queen, is he really gay? I mean do they really touch the subject?
If he IS indeed gay and not just effeminate, then he's one of teh very very few gay chars in videogames.

Short games, yay or nay?

Well I'm thinking about not using levels at all, probably adding some skills after important fights or in important moments of the game. There wouldn't be much strenght building over time. Although I still want it to be played as an RPG.
I'm thinking about 3 dungeons and 2-3 towns, with revisiting places if the story needs you too.
I think I can make it work, I'll try to make a short RPG and see how are the reactions.

Short games, yay or nay?

I have been thinking lately, I always try to make long RPG's, like 10 hours long or more, and I know it's a LOT of work. When I felt I wanted to do something that required less work (mostly due to not enough free time) I thought about making a simpler game but not shorter, like using RTP, or resources from other games, instead of making everything on my own (which is what I usually do).
But lately I've been thinking about making shorter RPG's, game that should take 2 hours to finish, telling a short story, noy always having to save the world, like in movies, where only in 2-3 hours you tell a story, that's my idea.
I know short games work nice, but I haven't seen many short RPG's most people aim to make long, commercial-like games, but I definitely don't have enough work for that.
Would you play a short RPG? Or do you feel that the genre is made for longer games and that in 2 hours you can't really tell a story?

I've thought several times about making the lead protagonist of my games gay, haven't done it though because I think it might drive some people away thinking it's gonna be yaoi or porn, even though that's not my intention at all. Maybe now people could play something with a gay protagonist without fearing that the pink unicorn of rainbow magic will take over the world and their lives.

Wich do you like best? 2k,2k3,Xp,VX

I think it's pretty different to ask which is your favorite and why than what is the "best" rpg maker.

mm I don't see any roots Felipe =P
DE your post makes sense. But for now the trees will stay like in the second version.

Felipe, I agree with the bottom of the trees, it's too plain, try to add some grass to and I bet they will look better, also adding some sort of shadow to the tree (even if it doesn't go exactly with the lightning of the wscreen would make them look less flat.
Lots of people said the trees were too small for the character, so I made them bigger.

I'm still working at the character, but it's more complete now :)

The Screenshot Topic Returns

The trees really don't bother me at all, but since everyone has said they think they are too small I'll try and make them bigger...

The Screenshot Topic Returns

Thanks for the comments, I don't think the trees are too small, I based the ratio on breath of fire 1 and 2 where the character is 24 pixels high and trees are 32 pixels high. in here, the character is 65 pixels high and trees are around 90 pixels high so the ratio is more or less the same.
You are probably right about the animation, but's it's such a pain in the ass to do ;_;
so far I haven't had any trouble with the sprites overlapping eachother.
thanks for the +1.
