Keep Up The Good Work Man, Can't Wait For The Story Line Update =]

Great updates with good screenies. I like the idea of travelling back and forth between regions. Can't wait for those storyline scenes tonight.

My post has been ignored :(

@ BlacK Dratini: The post hasn't been ignored, i'm just not in need of any beta testing atm, I'm considering creating a new egion but atm, i'm just trying to sort out all the basic systems before I really carry on with too much story line.

 

[Condulimassos]

New updates?I really wish to see this game finished

 

[Waudby]

Since I haven't updated as much as before, I think I should give you all a small sneak preview off some of the things you can expect to see in the first demo;

I have now finished all I need to do for the storyline for the demo. Now just working on some graphical things. Expect some more screenshots soon.

Looks really good. Can't wait for a demo, any idea when we can expect one?

 

[Waudby]

Well progress, may slow down a lil over the next few days as I have really gotta knuckle down for my exams. But I will do wat I can, hopefully, I can get the demo finished fully and out before the end of the week, which would then give me time just to concentrate on my studies fully.

 

[Booda Sack]

Lookin' very good so far dude. I love seeing people develop games in sphere.

 

[Alistair]

Looking very nice. Hopefully you fixed the "Empty" tile! Anyway, I have some GSC mini tree revamps, that change the shading style to the one from FR/LG, if you want to use them.

Are just trying to complete Midnights (Illusionist) game?

Yeah that would really useful, i got some tree sprites but I really am not happy with how they look in game.

Are just trying to complete Midnights (Illusionist) game?

No this is my own game that I'm designing.

Well anyway, I have a screenshot of the crappy little battle system I am gonna use for the first demo release of the game, It's not too bad, but no where near a complete system, but I thought I could put it in just to make sure the demo wasn't the player walking to and from places cos that equals very boring. :P

 

[Midnight Beat]

You refer to the battle system as "crappy" :D and from that screen shot I agree. But hopfully the better one some time in the future dosen't tell you how much damage you inflicted. But that's just my opinion.

 

[Neo-Dragon]

Thats cool, is the battle system fully working? I mean is there animations and are all the options(Fight- Bag-Pokemon-Run) working?

 

[Alistair]

Ok, I'll get you the trees when I get home (I am at the library right now).

Anyway, the battle system is fine for now. No need to criticize yourself for something that is early in development. But one question: Will the HP bars work?

 

[Midnight Beat]

Looking over my last post it seemed kind of strong. I was just giving some critisim I think it looks great for a first demo battle system.

 

[Alistair]

Here is the tree. Hope you like it! (BTW, I am doing a lot more G/S/C tile revamps, so if you need more, drop me a line)

 

[Renagadez]

This game seems to be great And decent I hope you put hard work into it

 

[Waudby]

The line which shows how much damahge you done, was necessary to show ME how much damamge was done to check my formula's, the screenshot was just to show the layout for the battle scene.

Personally, for a first release I think this battle system is fine, this demo is to mainly grab people's attention and show them what I have so far, the battle system is a way of breakign everything up, who wants a pokemon game where you only walk around?

I think that your opinion was still waayyy to strong, and shouldve been toned down alot as no matter how bad this system is, a lot of scripting time has still gone into it.

Thats cool, is the battle system fully working? I mean is there animations and are all the options(Fight- Bag-Pokemon-Run) working?

I'm still working on the battle system, I'm trying to make a better system before release, but if I can't then the one shown will be used, if that is the case then there will only be the 'Fight' option, as it's only to show the main systems so far.

Here is the tree. Hope you like it! (BTW, I am doing a lot more G/S/C tile revamps, so if you need more, drop me a line)

Thanks for that I'll put it in once I start re-doing the maps.

Ok, I'll get you the trees when I get home (I am at the library right now).

Anyway, the battle system is fine for now. No need to criticize yourself for something that is early in development. But one question: Will the HP bars work?

Yes the HP bars work, they dont have the smooth feel to them of a pokemon game just yet, but I am still working on them, at least so far they can show the different colours and also give the player a good feel of how much hp is left.


As I have said above, I am currently workign on a new battle system one that will hopefully stick through til the final release, I am also tryign to redo the menu system and make it more flexible and easier to use and do more with.

I have exams all next week, so I'm not sure how this will affect progress as most of my exams are only an hour to two hours long, So i might be able to do a small amount of work each day.

Expect some more updates soon.
