NICKAD'S PROFILE

I like to smell people :).
I have an absurd fashion of littering my game creations with unnecessary light-maps and overlays.
I am fond of RPGs and first-person shooters, and have an astounding joy for horror games.

Yeah there is a lot of text to go through, and there are a couple bugs and everything, but I think you've got something special here.

My question is, will we see rpg aspects added in within the future?
Yeah, hopefully I'll have all the bugs ironed out in the next release.
RPG aspects may be added. But, mainly puzzles and some little features (to keep the player's attention :P) will be present. This is more of a genre of its own then an RPG, but some elements from the RPG genre will be added as it progresses (if I still choose to continue this).
Again, thank you for your interest in this game :).

Adventures in Exclastia

Screenshot.
I think you need some more variation in your cliff-faces/edges.
On the left of the screenshot, the cliff goes straight up the map in a line. Not too many cliffs do that naturally. How about adding some variation like curves and make the cliff extend out a little?
You could also try clustering some of the trees together (using events and otherwise), to create more of a 'forest' effect. It's more of an aesthetic thing though.
That is my only gripe with the mapping.

- Fantabulous use of music to set the atmosphere


A few minor things to consider:
- Too many uses of the “…” bubble
- For some weird reason, the light twitches in the scene before Iris enters the large buildingâ€"also in that scene, if I press up, the screen pans up
- You have very off capitalization


Egh, I couldn't get far before I ran into some bug that from Iris' movements and froze that game that I did not save. - -
Ah, I see... I'll have to fix it then (I think it is because I made the events parallel process instead of auto-run. Gah, I was meant to change that too ><)!
I'm sorry that you couldn't get far :(. Hopefully when I release the updated version, most of the errors (and spelling mistakes) will be corrected!
Thank you for playing though, even if you couldn't get very far :).

The demo finishes when the scavengers get me, in the old citadel, right?
Well... The game was just... amazing. Really... Dazzling, damn. What´s the secret? ._.
Anyways, for some reason, it kept remembering of necrohol of Nabudis(FFXII) and lhusu mines(the stairs section in the old citadel) for some reason... I thought it was impossible to attain this feel in 2D! The graphics, even being less resolution, are better than 90% of the XP/VX games out there, and i could say it has the best graphics (usage of them) of ALL 2k/2k3 games.

A little thing: The message box is annoying. You should make it appear beyond the bottom of the screen, with 90% magnification, and bush upwards... That comes from the center thingy is kinda annoying. Maybe it´s just me. I love games with this feel.
Thank you for the feedback :)!
It's actually the Old City, but close enough :P. The demo actually ends once you get to the end of the map, but it's nothing exciting. Just a little screen saying its the end of the demo :P.
Best graphics? Ha, thank you, but I don't think it is really the best. There are many other games that have marvellous graphics (that are custom) that are much better than these.
Yeah, I have been meaning to fix the text box up as well. I'll see what I can do ;).
Again, thank you for the feedback, and I hope you enjoyed what you played :)!

Man, no replies yet? I will download and tell you what I think. :-)

EDIT: Man Nickad you've really got quite a game here, especially just for a contest entry. It plays out a lot more like a story/adventure game than anything else.

It's really great. The only problems I found was the issue with the fog scrolling. You could easily just make it go to the right....stop.....then to the left.... stop..... then to the right... etc, etc, etc... over and over again.

As for the game itself, the music isn't the MOST memorable of all time but it seriously suits the atmosphere.

Yes, atmosphere. That's it. This project has lots of atmosphere.

Bottom Line:

I can tell you put LOADS of effort into the entry and have a very well rounded atmospheric Adventure-like game. It plays out much like a book, so those that only enjoy quick in your face fast paced action games I would say stay away from this one. It's more for those that enjoy Vampire Books and Chrono Trigger.

In fact, it's as if you took some kind of Vampire/Gothic Science Fiction Book and meshed it with Chrono Trigger-like graphics.

Great job. :-)
Wow, haha. Thank you for the comments :D!
Yeah, the fog scrolling is a bit of an issue :(. I'll try and fix it and release another version with most of the bugs and spelling errors ironed out and fixed.
Again, thanks a lot for the comments :)!

Screen.
This is a mock-up; more of a test of the style rather than anything else (the colour purposefully lacks depth, shading etc. and I don't have a clue if anything would fit properly with the RM2K3 templates).
Without the depth, it's hard to actually tell what everything is. Maybe add a slight bit of shading?
Unless, that is what you're going for?

Swine Flu

Ha, we're pretty safe here in Australia, but not safe enough.
At our airports, we have a pretty tight (sarcasm) system.

Officer: "Are you feeling ill? Sick perhaps?"
Passenger: "No".
Officer: "Kay, you can go now".
(Ushers passenger away).

Seriously, it's ridiculous >:(.

What are you thinking about right now?

I hate being the only one up late at night :(. I always tend to 'conveniently' hear noises when I'm by myself. Though, luckily the computer (and it's healthy glow. I know that I am getting a tan from this thing :P) keeps me company.
I am also thinking of how I hate mobile phones. Damn things.

What Are You Working On?
