about:
Dash's Adventure XP is basically a remake of my first ever game, also the two unfinished sequels that followed it.
It is split into Episodes 1, 2 and 3, Episode 1 has 3 chapters, the other two episodes don't have this (I didn't use the Chapter Formation in DA2&3.)

Story:
Episode One:
Chapter One:
The Queen of Don Miguel Town was recently Captured and Murdered, the King thinks that this was suicide but Dash and Jon disagree, they set off to find out what the hell has actually been going on, they will uncover an epic secret that will lead them on the rest of their adventures.
Chapter 2 and 3 Unrevealed.

Episode 2:
Dash and Jon set off back to Don Miguel Town to inform the new King of that has happened, the new King however, is a bit wrong in the head. He sends them to Jail for no real reason. [If I reveal any more it will give away the Episode 3 Storyline and you can't have that yet ;D]

Episode 3:
Will not be revealed until Episode 1 & 2 are out.

Screenshots:

The Circular Menu system.

The Sneaking Mini-Game:

Dash discovers that he has the power to talk to Animals:

Jon offering to give you the entrance fee to a Training School if you capture all the rats around Don Miguel Town.

The Stat Distribution system.

FAQ:
Don Miguel Town looks like the town in Don's Adventures!
And so it should! The world that I made in the original games was based around the world that Don Miguel created in his game that came with RPG Maker 2000.

Ah, so does that mean that we will be re-visiting some of the areas that Don created?
Yes, although there will be quite a few changes to them.

You are always nagging me about Custom Graphics! So where are yours?
To be honest, I have no plans to get any. I love the RMXP RTP graphics, any ones that I do get will have to look like them.

That's not an excuse!
My game. My rules.

Will each character have an individual Stat Pool for the Stat Distribution system?
Absolutely!

A game about yourself? That's pretty vain..
Oh come on! Who here can HONESTLY say that their first game didn't involve them in some way. Besides, Dash isn't Me. He's my alter ego.

Wow Dash, the game looks game, I like the way the game goes.

Can't wait for it ^_^

 

[The Dash]

Thankye, I'm still trying to get a grasp on RGSS. Despite popular belief I don't know anything about it T.T. I'm only used to Event Coding (RM2k/3 style.)

 

[Pokéflute]

I'm loving the field of view! Hope the game doesn't die.

 

[Crazy Weavile]

Nice game, but the wall by the training school looks a bit off. I am interested, though.

 

[The Dash]

I'm not sure what you mean by that, there isn't a screen shot of the Training School xD
Do you mean the Rat Catching one?

 

[Crazy Weavile]

Ah. Yeah... the wall by the water looks odd.

 

[.-'Infernal Hylian'-.]

Hey dash... nice game.. release a demo i wanna try it out and then give really nice comments in a lengthy pm... good luck anyways.

 

[Neo-Dragon]

I love the sneaking mini game. Sounds fun. How will the episodic games come out? As seperate releases? Or as "upgrades" or "Add-ons" to the first download?

 

[Bruno1440]

Cool game Dash, its original :)
Can i give my opinion? I think you should get the menu icons more close...But thats ok! Good luck!

 

[The Dash]

Yeah I'll probably do that, it may mess up the way it rotates though.

@Neo-Dragon: In order to keep the saves compatable they will be released as Add-Ons, as you said.

*Raises hand*

Looks good Dash, It's good to see you're going with RTP style, especially
since you're remaking some don miguel areas. I would have picked 2k(3) as a maker though, feels a lil' bit more classic ;)
I'll be sure to play this one day, good job!

 

[The Dash]

So would I have but I need to get into the flow of XP, I've never really used it seriously before. Also Dash's Adventure 3 WAS made in 2003 so.. Yeah xD. I have some screenshots of DA3 lying around if anyone wants to see them.

EDIT: Sorry for the bad quality, blame MSN Live Spaces for compressing them, these are some screenshots I dug out of my old computer a little while ago.

As you can probably tell from the screen shots Noobs play a big part in the future episodes of Dash's Adventure (Especially in 3.) And yes, they are depicted as giant hamsters.

Looks good Dash. I see you also brought back Marcus (For people who have not played the RPG Maker 2000 demo, Marcus is the cat). Anyway, are you going to plan on making a custom battle system if you learn how to in RGSS?

A game about yourself? That's pretty vain..
Oh come on! Who here can HONESTLY say that their first game didn't involve them in some way.

I can. My first game invovled various characters from Final Fantasy I-V.

 

[The Dash]

Marcus pwned <3 I don't plan on making it completely custom but I do plan on bringing back the side-on battle system style from RM2K3. Flaid the Dog will also be making a return.

 

[bwooduhs]

wow that looks good.good job

 

[The Dash]

Thanks, demo is definitely coming out Sunday (If not before.) I have some School Work to focus on but there is only a small ammount of work left before I reach demo point.

 

[~Azura]

In the stat distribution system:

Increase Intellegence by 4

 

[The Dash]

Typotastic, thanks for pointing that out.


Yep, it's Demo time!

 

[Crazy Weavile]

I'm gathering you fixed that event? I couldn't find the problem... sorry.
