You make it sound like they have to. There are concepts that have yet to appear, you know? Things that haven't been done because game-writers are only original in very few areas.Quote:

Mercen-X, there are alot of Cliche's in the game, i know. But I am very uncreative. I may change it to what you said, they are actually pretty good ideas. Anyway, there is a twist in my game, your gonna have to play it when it is finished t find out ;). I'm not sure whether I should release a demo or not, can I get some suggestions? I have heard its a bad idea to, because people have high expectations for the game and stuff, and it turns out to be not all that good or something like that. So, should I release a demo?
I'll be adding more people soon (Hopefully today) I haven't done anything on the game since my last post, because, well, I was sleeping. I will do some later today.
Oh, and the character pictures in the battle. They are just RTP.
May aswell be Ryudo from Grandia II, a travelling Mercenary known as a Geohound, terrible events happened in his past and he has a best friend who is a bird, named Skye.Quote:

It's presumable to suggest that if your game isn't going to live up to the expectations of your viewers, then NOT releasing a demo will raise their hopes only moreso and they will be that much more disappointed.Quote:

BTW what's RTP.
Reminder: Mercy, unknown counselor, hidden in shadow, possibly evil. More than likely a reluctant pawn.
I want to be in it! But... I can't think of what to say or what to be. :laugh: Umm... I'll get back to you... or you can suggest something you need.
RTP is just the game sprites and graphics that come with RPG Maker XP. Basically my game is made of RTP, but I will be doing some eiditing and some non-TRP Tilesets etc.
I've been out all day (Church, friends house) So I still haven't done anything, starting now.
I wouldn't mind being in the game. Let me be some random guy in a town. Have me rambling about, "The end of the world because I can't remember where I put it" and when you talk to me a couple times, I'll laugh and remember where I put it and then the player realises that it was just my wallet.
OOO OOO Can i be somekind of Martial Artist who gets to say "Kame...hame.....urm, hows it go again?" ^_^
I would like to be in the game. But refer to me as "Nico", and give me blue hair, blue eyes, and a blue suit...
Some old friends of mine on a game called PSO would love to see that. o_o
Also, if I may make a recommendation, I think that the beginning should be like this...
The Main character is running from some guys in shining armor...
You: "Huff...Huff..."
Them: "When will he just STOP RUNNING?!?
You: "Why are they chasing me?"
You run into the forest, and hide behind a tree.
You: "Why are they chasing me? ... ... ... I have to find a way out..."
Then a nice little Mini-Game ensues. Avoid the Knights line of sight in the Forest, and try to get to the other end.
After the Mini-Game, you go to your Village. You at first want to run away, but then realize that the Knights might attack the Village, and if you don't warn everyone, they might be in danger. Unless these Knights are smarter than most and realize that this would just distract them from their goal. >_>
So, you warn everyone in the Village while the Knights think you are in the Forest. So, everyone leaves with you to a not so far away town to stay for a few days, and then they will return to the village.
So, after a few days, you and everyone else go back to the village.
Everything seems fine...but then, you are captured by the Knights! >_< Smart little guys...
So, you are taken to the Castle they are from. Some weird guy who is OBVIOUSLY the Villain tells you that he has important plans for you, and then sends you to the Dungeon.
Not too original, but I think that it is better than amnesia. o_o
No, the amnesia ties in with the plot well. That is why I am using it.
I will fit in everyone in the next town, which I am building now!
Yay!! A new RPG!! *Claps* This should be inturesting...
I'll be Silver! The musician/composer/ leader of the band!
"I´m on the edge! Wow..."
Perhaps you could make it so that he got amnesia before the game begins? o.o (Like in Xenogears!)
Well, you can do whatever you wish. It is your game, after all. I'm just here for a cameo. :p
