Hiatus[RPG] Demo

Posted by Senar on June 10, 2007, 3:34 p.m.

<b>"</b> I recently started on one of my dreams, and that dream is to make & finish an RPG. Of course I plan to finish this game but I say that for all games. Anyway this game is about aliens invade the earth and breaks the earth apart. This RPG is something that I have been thinking of for a while but I never had enough sprites to actually start but I do now. I am a good story-maker and now is the time to put it to the test. The battle engine is 70-80% done which is a good thing because the battle engine is what beats people up and prevents them from finishing. I forgot the most important part! The games name is Hiatus(working title) and if your not sure what that means you might want to look that up (Just playing it means a missing part). The game has a sort of a create-a-character but then again I wouldn?t name it that because you don?t get to choose, it is random on who you are. I don?t believe in posting W.I.P.?s so you don?t have to worry about me posting one. Uhh this is all I really have to say, so now just gawk at a couple of screenshots.

The graphics don't match. You have some Poke'mon, RPGM2000, 2003, and XP.

The Batle Engine seems fairly good though.

I don't think anything pisses me off more in a 2d RPG more than the same grass tile used everywhere =/

@chicken: lol yay what?

@Dfort: your looking at the small picture, look at the BIG picture

@Kaz: I didnt use the same grass, did you play it? I have darker regions and dirt patches and what not

Kaz means that you have to have more variations in _every_ piece of map. That overworld screenshot looks noob 'cause there are no variations at all in the grass. Make some bushes, trees, rocks and others!

yeah, i'm not feeling the overworld map, and the battle engine reminds me of old final fantasy games :(

as long as the engine works well though, it really shouldn't be difficult to update the sprites!

@ kaz: oh

@ all: well please note that this was an early WIP

Hey! I'm sorry, but I am picky about GFX. Ripped sprites are my enemy! Anyway, like Kaz said, don't use the same tile everywhere. It kind of looks bulgy. Use the Zelda game Link to the Past as an example. You don't see the same ground everywhere.

Battle screen looks like it took quite a bit of effort, but I would say that it is most likly going to be the best part of the game.

Oh, use dirt in some places as well. Just thought I'd add that in.
