(This game is non-profit and draws heavy inspiration from the music of the band Eluveitie. I owe everything to them for this project.)


Set in the gaelic/celtic esque world of Helvetios, you take on the role of the hero, Aiden Maolan.

A young farmer who is suddenly thrusted into an impending war, and must save his childhood friend while fighting against dark forces.

Do not use the RTP Music, that's a minefield and it would only serve to destroy the potential this game has.

 

I like the mapping, it makes sense from what I've seen so far.

 

This sounds like a history story of some kind, I tend to read quite a lot (And type a lot) so this should be something I can enjoy - I have high hopes for this game, I'm confident that you can achieve this however because you are clearly a hard-working person.

 

Looking forward to reading more about this in time, good luck.

[Guyver's Bane 38]

Yeah I can't seem to sync up any of the rtp music to this game it's too...off setting I guess would be it? I'm gonna look into more folk music for it.

 

Yeah I guess that would be a good description of it. You're playing a game and in that universe, these events have happened and you're just along for the ride lol.

 

I'll be anxious to see players reactions when it gets far enough for a demo release.

Regarding your open position:

 

You can loop tracks and export them with Audacity, doesn't look all that difficult to accomplish really.

 

Audacity - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

 

Looping Wiki-Page - http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Looping

 

Provided links if you want to give it a shot.

[Guyver's Bane 38]

I actually watched, or tried to the vid kept freezing, a tutorial on how to do this with Audacity. It just seemed a little difficult but I'll give it shot thanks for the links fred .

 

EDIT:

 

Um yeah i cannot do it lol. So I'll just keep hoping someone who knows what they're doing will. Meantime I'll keep fooling with it when not doing other rpg stuff.

Character bio's updated.

[Guyver's Bane 38]

Well I've lost my mapper, did sometime ago lol. I'm doing mapping and the music now. New world map is also almost complete

[burge 9]

One tip - and it's just a matter of taste:

I'd make walls and buildings 2 tiles high (or 3 even) instead of 1.  When a building is 1 tile high it appears that the character is literally as tall as a house.  

 

The use of detail in the maps, however, is very well done.  Not overly cluttered and not a lot of empty space.

[Guyver's Bane 38]

Oh yeah... that's an old map lol I don't plan to have them all look like that lol.

 

***UPDATE***

 

***UPDATE***

 

Major cities added. Cleaned up backstory and added more to it.

World map has neared completion, will add it to the first post tonight or tomorrow.

Edited September 24, 2013 by Guyver's Bane

[Guyver's Bane 38]

World map complete and is up

 

[Guyver's Bane 38]

Lighting system and realistic atmosphere now complete for interior of buildings. I don't really care for the interiors of maps that are super bright, especially since lighting is poor even during the day lol.

[Tsarmina 2,612]

I like your flawed characters who sometimes have messed-up backgrounds ^-^ It adds a good sense of realism to your game! I also like your mapping~

[Guyver's Bane 38]

I love giving my characters some background lol. You feel more connected to them (at least I do lol) when they seem more real. Thank you I use to loath mapping when I started my game and now I can stop until the current map is perfect lol.

[jaggernaut25 11]

From a presentation stand point in this thread alone, everything is great. I love the scrolls and everything - are those custom made?

 

I really, really like that last outdoor area screenshot. Which tiles are you using for that? Which tiles are you using for the house in the first screen?

 

Looking great so far!

[Tsarmina 2,612]

@jaggernaut: I'm pretty sure those are Mack tiles.

[jaggernaut25 11]

@jaggernaut: I'm pretty sure those are Mack tiles.

 

Ah, I am new around here - link to those? Are they free to use non-commercially (and commercially) with VX Ace?

[Guyver's Bane 38]

Thank ya sir actually I'm using celiannas tilesets they look so much better than the default ones lol. But no those scrolls aren't custom but they were to use though lol. Actually if you go to the resources section you can search it for those tiles I do believe. Cannot remember if I got the from this site lol

I'll definitely be waiting for the release of this game and I'll gonna follow it, not only because I love rpg games, but you have a impressive start. Seeing your presentation this beautiful means there are lots hidden under your sleeves, so good job and keep up the good work,

[Guyver's Bane 38]

Thank you very much haven't had much time these past couple days (lol joys of wife's pregnancy) but I'll have an update soon

Oh. I knew those looked familiar *doink* 

By the way, @jaggernaut: Celianna's tiles are sometimes tricky to get with her TOU. Mack's tiles are pretty easy, and there are season variations ^-^ Just search up "Mack tiles seasons" on Google and you can get those.

Same with Celianna.

[jaggernaut25 11]

Hey Tsarmina, since posting that I have found and am using Mack's stuff (as well as the season edits) in additional to Celianna and a bunch of others. Thanks!

[Guyver's Bane 38]

Small update: giving some of the heroes a much needed editing so look for some new content in the original post soon!

[RWSB Games 5]

I am very happy to see this thread very active and always updated. Keep up the good work, I'll gonna check this game again to see what's new.
