Thank you! I am dumb and didn't see it!

I did convert my project over to see how it will work out. I think it looks nicer and feels smoother. I had some issues initially but in the end it has worked out fairly well.

Yeah it's my first project that I have actually committed to.

Updated the post with a website and a demo. It is the first level as it is now. There will be some art changes done in the final project and possibly some gameplay changes if warranted. http://www.geneticallymodifiedgames.com/downloads.html

Thanks! I will try those options.

I have no problem writing BBCode I wanted to embed a music player for the soundtrack. I feel more people would give it a listen if there was a player on the page. Its an embed from Bandcamp which is iframes. if you were wondering.

Is there a way to embed something on a post with HTML? I am trying to embed the soundtrack from my game to the post in the game's post in the showroom instead of a link elsewhere.

The first level takes place on a desert world where technology has been banned. Its supposed to feel a bit empty. A lot of the background things aren't there yet due to wanting to get the basics done first. Each of the levels has a different theme and story arch with an overlying story arch. I think the maps for the second level have a bit more to them. Thanks for the criticism I appreciate any and all! I want it to be the best it can be so please feel free to comment.

Welcome to my first post on my blog about the Federation of Interstellar Transporters video game I am in the process of making. I will give you some insight on what went into making the game and why we did what we did and some general ideas of where my mind was at the time of making said game. You can follow the link on the bottom to see what the game is all about. I have been playing video games as far back as I remember. I used to play the Atari 2600 on an old black and white tv. I never once thought that I would be able to make my own game. I continued playing games heavily until I became an adult and my playing started to wane. My love of video games never went away but I just never had the time to play them. I started a band with some like minded friends that were fans of punk rock and science fiction. We talked at length about making a board game, card game and even discussed having a video game. I came across RPG Maker VX Ace in a humble bundle and decided it was time to reach back to my roots. I had owned RPG Maker on the Playstation and was originally apprehensive about VX Ace as the Playstation version was very cumbersome to work with. I figured I had very little to lose at the price point. It was a bit harder to make the game look nice and a lot of work to make the game really playable. It was a challenge that I have accepted and am going to push through until the end. Although the program allows a fairly decent art style (as seen by many games on here) we opted for the retro look and embraced the style. We also wanted the soundtrack to really shine and show off the band so we utilized the bands music as well as stuff written for the game. Being a huge fan of many science fiction media we put references and homages to the things we love in the game for everybody to enjoy. http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/topic/34838-federation-of-interstellar-transporters-fist/

Cleaned up the post, added a bunch of pictures and more info about the game. Added a link to the soundtrack for the first level. Added some better screenshots and posted them instead of needing to download them.

I am Travis Fry and I actually love Futurama. Although the similarities I think stop at the name!
