Anime Monogatari

Hi everyone! 
 
My game is a turn by turn RPG.
The demo of my game is kind of short. Maybe around 15-20 minutes but its worth trying!
 

Like this topic's title say, my game is a game related to anime. For those of you who don't know what animes are, in short, they're cartoons made in Japan. My goal is to make a game with everything in it related to animes. So far, around 98% of the songs are from animes. Title screen, normal battles, event battles, boss fights, most of the areas/dungeons have anime related songs. All PCs, NPCs, bosses and almost all enemies will be related to animes. Same thing for the maps. Alot of them will be related to anime areas. For exemple, the first city will be Academy City from the anime To Aru Majutsu no Index.

I'm planning on adding alot of mini games. Some might be just for fun, and others might reward you with the best weapon in the game. I thought of adding some "Wanted" quests too. If you accept to take one of those quests, you'll have to search for a criminal/bad guy. You could encounter an Akatsuki member (Naruto character) or even an Espada (Bleach character). The "wanted" quests will be ranked from Rank F to Rank SSS. F ranked quests will ask you to defeat a weaker criminal and as for the SSS quests, you'll have to defeat an overpowered criminal. "Wanted" quests can only be done once, but of course, there might be some exeptions. There will be another kind of quests too. Residents asking you to find their lost PFP (A game console similar to a psp from the anime A World God Only Knows) and other objects like that. I know there's alot of people who likes to collect everything in a game. Items, weapons, armors, and other stuff like that. That's why i'll be adding an encyclopedia feature that will tell you almost everything you did in the game. You'll be able to see all the enemies you've defeated, all the music you've heard, all the weapons, armors, accessories, items, key items, pictures you've collected, all the NPCs you've encountered, villages, towns, cities you visited, you'll even have a log that will record all your progress. That's enough for the features. The rest will be a surprise!

 

 

For now, im planning on making a prologue, 5 chapters and 2 short bonus chapter. I might add more chapters later though.
In the demo of my game, only the prologue will be available.

A girl wakes up in an unknown place that look like ancient ruins.


No idea where she is, she decides to explore the area to find a way out.

Along the way, she encounters other girls that took her for a "monster".


After some fights, the four girls encounter the real "Shadow".
 
 
That's a quick summary of the Prologue/demo. There's other things to do but i won't say a word about it. 
If you want to know what it is, download and try the demo!

An artist or a spriter? damn. Hey, If you ever have need for a mapper or eventer or someone who knows an awful lot about anime and manga, pm me.

 

Edit:

Played through the game, rushed through it cause it looked like a straight path to me( despite your hinting at little secrets), couple of things I wanna say.

1. Yuno is fricken scary. this is not in any way constructive criticism. I'm just saying, she scares me.

2. Here's some actual feedback. The girls were attacked by what appeared to be a carbon-copy of the pc. with what little explemation was given by the pc, I don't think it likely that they would so readily belive the pc's innocence. try expanding on those convos a bit more to make seem more likely. The exception to this is the last one, who actually understand ( or seems to) what their up against.

3. Mikasa's "chaser" skill, does not require any pp to use. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not, seeing as how it IS techincally a skill, but a really weak one.

4. the "paralyze stare" ability that Yuno uses against you is not retained when she joins you. I think it's a little weird that she would be able to use a move against you, but not for you.

5. not putting a save crystal right before the boss at the end of the demo was mean. just mean. I say this because If you had done so, I could have saved there, and then not have to go back and fight my way through two of the girls first when you release a expansion on this demo

6. For the fight against angel, wouldn't the full op for angel beats have been a better music choice? I mean, the sound of it would probably be a better compliment to fighting yourself then the Girls dead monster song ( forgot the name of the song) you used instead.

Thank you for the feedback!

I'm an artist ^-^

 

I like the fact that you've put people from different animes together, but this can be pretty difficult for a number of reasons. Staying in characters, fitting roles, not just being random people and having to decide which characters you want to use for characters (because I love too many manga characters to choose just a few @_@), yada yada yada.

 

Also the art in your screenshots doesn't entirely match ^-^" Consistency is key!

very difficult, but very rewarding if pulled off.

I was also thrown off from the switches between a bust and just a face. So, let me thrown in my own note about how you should stay consistent.

[Tsarmina 2,612]

...Wait, where's the note? :x

[Heartfeltcurse 195]

Ah, no I meant.. Ah, there is no actual "note", I was just agreeing with you in that he should be consistent in his use of art and... yea.

[Tsarmina 2,612]

Oh...riiiiight. *clears throat* Anyway, to get back to the topic at hand...

[+ Otaku-kun 43]

I took pictures from the internet and i removed the background with gimp and photoshop.

 

I know they look different. Thats why i was looking for someone who knows how to draw anime characters.

Theres other reasons too: Having more than one emotion for each character would be nice.

And you never know if the pictures you find on the internet belongs to someone else.

One day, when ill finish my game, ill share it on the internet (thats obvious, lol). It would make me feel really bad and a bit angry if a few days later i received messages saying "I made that picture! I dont want you to use it." or "You didnt give me credit for using that picture! I want you to remove it from your game!"

 

If theres someone good enough to draw anime characters and that person wants to help me, i wont have to worry about not knowing who made the pictures and i wont need a txt file to write the name of everyone who made a picture.

[Tsarmina 2,612]

Opening at OP's request...

 

Open sesame!~ ^^

[+ Otaku-kun 43]

Lol. Thanks alot Tsarmina!

[Heartfeltcurse 195]

It's so weird seeing my name in the credits section of a game. So weird.

[+ Otaku-kun 43]

You made one of the maps in the demo and you did alot of other maps for chapter 1, right?

[Heartfeltcurse 195]

Yes i did. It's just the sensation of being in the credits list makes me feel rather........ good? i dunno.

[+ TBWCS 953]

I'll be downloading the demo and try it out

[Heartfeltcurse 195]

I'm also gonna try it. am interested in what changes await me from how the demo used to be.

 

Edit:

Alright, a couple of things.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wuvn29evjmrtcqz/Hi%20the%20second.PNG

As you can see, in both of the pictures, the words run out of the textbox, the names of the girls get cut off a little at the bottom, and you forgot to capitalize "I" when used to refer to one's self. also, in the beginning of the demo, You actually put in Kanade's name instead of "white-haired girl" like in the rest of the demo.

 

Edit 2:

Also, Mikasa loses her "Chaser" skill when she joins you. is that intentional?

and the number of times the text runs off screen is out of control.

 

Edit 3:

Never mind, Mikasa got her Chaser skill when she leveled up... still think it was weird though that she could use it against you despite techincally needing to level for it.

 

Edit 4:

I really love the battle-affecting scripts you're using. they're totally awesome.

Edited March 6, 2014 by Heartfeltcurse

[+ Otaku-kun 43]

Thats weird... I tested everything before uploading it. Ill go see.

 

For the chaser skill, youre right, it is weird. Ill fix it.

 

And for the text problem, i checked your screenshots again. The font isnt right. Did you read the "Read me.txt" file?

 

Edit: I forgot to put the read me file in the Anime Monogatari folder. Its in the FONT folder. Sorry about that.

 

Edit 2: Sorry, i didnt see your post SoulpourVII. I hope youll like the demo.

Edited March 7, 2014 by ♥Otaku♥

[Heartfeltcurse 195]

for this kind of thing, it's always good to put read me files in obvious locations.

[+ Otaku-kun 43]

Yes, sorry about that.

 

I updated the demo and i changed the links. The read me file is in the Anime Monogatari folder now.

[Skysagi 219]

The art, the characters and part of the gameplay is good but, the font you use to these characters' dialogues is so weird, I barely can understand it e.e

[+ Otaku-kun 43]

Other persons told me that too. I guess ill have to change it. Anyone has a suggestion?

[+ TBWCS 953]

Pick something that is universal. Like for example Calibri...Cambria Math...or Times New Roman. If you want to use a custom font, don't forget to include that on your demo. But as far as being easy to play and direct to use, use the ones that is already existing in default in your OS.

[Heartfeltcurse 195]

I like the Arial Font.

[+ Otaku-kun 43]

@SoulpourVII: Thanks for the advice. Ill look at what i already have in my pc.

@Heartfeltcurse: The font you saw before you placed the Olde English font was the Arial Font. I dont know why, but in the game, it appears a bit different than usual.

[Heartfeltcurse 195]

.... get rid of it.
