Deagonball Z - The Saiyan Saga - By Batesy

Okay, I know I haven't really been to faithful to my games, but this is one I WILL finish.
It's just the Saiyan Saga in game form. My inspiration for this were two games I played:
Goku Jr's Adventure
Vegeta Jr's Journey

Those two were great (Especially GJA)

Attached are screenshots of the game and a glitch that is always happening to me.

Any comments?

I hate to say this, but your maps are chessey, there isnt much detail, and your charsets are crap...no offence but they really are...srry to say this, but fix the charsets!!

After I release the Beta (It'll be pretty much everything except glitches, charsets and maps) I will fix the charset. Right now it's as good as I've got. Besides, there's a much worse charset that I have.

Also, Master Roshi, he's the best charset of him I can get.

EDIT: But first, may I ask, is there any positive feedback?

Seems like the Game Develoment/RM2K(3) forum is accumulating more and more DBZ Games. I'm sorry, but I have to agree with PokeDavid, but I won't be so harsh about it. I don't know if it's the quality of the chipset or if thats how they're supposed to look, but the chipset is a little on the blurry side. The charsets are really bad, low low low quality. I know it's hard to find charsets for DBZ chars, but how about trying to rip them yourself?

Fine. I'll go to all of the trouble to get Goku off of Legacy of Goku II, and then Vegeta, Gohan and Trunks.
Problem is my emulator doesn't support Buu's Fury and LOGI, which makes it hard to get a good pic of Raditz (And the one I've got right now... Let me tell you - horrible).

But yes, other than the char/chipsets, can anyone tell me what they think of the idea or game itself?

You're asking us what we think of the idea or the game, yet we really don't have anything to judge other than the screenies and you saying that it's the Saiyan saga in game form. If it's just the Saiyan saga, I'm going to have to say that it's been done in Legacy of Goku, why recreate it? You see Gold/Silver/Crystal remakes, but there's a purpose for those games to be remade. What is yours?

Yes I will. Thankyou. I need some rips. I will give you credit.

Ok, Ive sent them too you, hope these will help you make your game better, please post screens with the fixed charsets, I think people will like this ones a lil more.

Well I have started using the new Charsets and I have to admit, they are much better than the origionals! Thanks David!
On another plus note, since I don't have Goku on LOGII on my emulator but have the others, I'm going to make a new Piccolo sprite. Because it looks REALLY horrible.
Anyways, hopefully more work will be done today...

that character set looks alot better. Try fix your chipsets up, the look slightly blurry (like the objects such as the table and stuff).

BTW, you should let us know more info about you, like are you an experienced RM2k/3 programer? and are you planning to use a ABS(advanced battle system)- cause i don't see the point of a DBS(default battle system) DragonBall game, since all the GBA games used a ABS.

Well I'm not really far into doing RM2K so ABS is slightly hard. Can you do ABS using RM2K?

You can do ABS using an rm2k program, I think (as I only have expirance in RM2k and RM2k3, with an ABS that is), and If you need help with the ABS go to Gamingw.net, they have great tut's there for an ABS

Heres the tutorial i used back when i done a ABS.

Its awesome. And can be done within an hour.

Thanks guys. You are great helpers! You are all going down in the credits!

EDIT: Well I'm stuck on this part:
<>variable ch:[0001:attack]set,0
<>enter passowrd:[0001:attack]
<>FORK Optn:varbl[0001:attack]-5
<>FORK Optn:Hero-Up face direct
<>Change Switch:[0001:attacking]-ON set
<>Show Battle Anim:Hit UP, Hero
<>Variable Ch:[0002:Hero X]Set, Hero X pos.
<>Variable Ch:[0003:Hero Y]Set, Hero Y pos.
<>Variable Ch:[0003:Hero Y]-, 1

How am I meant to make it say Hit UP, Hero? Do I have to edit one of the attacks in the database?
