Come Get Your Candy: Black Rock Shooter

Somewhere in the Underworld two girls fight... OVER CANDY!

Draw your katana, load your cannon! It's time to rock!

 

CGYC:BRS is a small Black Rock Shooter fangame I'm working on.

The game is a silly Zelda clone with very light puzzle elements made with RPG Maker VX Ace and Falcao Pearl ABS.

It's supposed to be my first actual release and it's completed to 45-50% I'd say,  and some things are WIP still but will be replaced eventually.

 

Feedback is appreciated!

 

If anyone would be willing to help me test the game's design and find bugs, I would really appreciate it!

Just contact me here or on my GameJolt page.

Only things I know about Black★Rock Shooter (can't forget the ★ ya know) is because it was part of the Battle Fantasia Project fanfic setting, and I can't remember even that all too well... But cute is cute! :3

Thanks! 

Ah, didn't know about Battle Fantasia! 

I used to be a huge Black Rock Shooter fan in highschool, so I decided to make something BRS themed, ahah.

As cute as it is I do have one complaint. My complaint is that it uses Falcao Pearl ABS. I am not a fan of Falcao Pearl ABS. That may just me being a picky grump though. XD

I doubt I'll change that at this point in development, but are there other similar ABS you'd suggest over it? 

[Kayzee 4,032]

Unfortunately no... All the ABS scripts I have seen are kinda crummy for various reasons. Again, that may just be me being a picky grump though.

 

Really the main problems I have with Falcao Pearl ABS is the excessive number of keyboard keys you need and the lack of pixel-based movement. Other then that it's a little clunky but seems to work.

Project Status Update:

 

As of today I will stop developing this project, life happened and I'm having a hard time giving this project the attention it needs to improve and reach completion. 

That doesn't mean I will abandon it necessarily, but as of now I have other priorities that require my full attention if I want my life to improve, so I need as little distraction as possible. 

 

Hope you understand.

It just needs a script package plugin or edit to allow for the use of a controller. There's too many gosh darn buttons and hotkeys for a keyboard. Everyone will have different comfort settings, but using a keyboard to play games gives me carpal tunnel.

 

Falcao's system is otherwise a masterpiece of Ace scripting.
