Hero Spirits - Oh mah GAWD a new version! Sept 07! Play!?

[oddler]

Well, I didn't get to do much this week. I've added some items and put in some new enemies but, other than that, it's been a pretty slow crawl over the past seven days.

Skills 150 / 900
Items 532 / 1000
Monsters 99 / 500
Areas 14 / 79
Sidequests 9 / 64

Total Progress: 24.29%

I'll try to put up some more screenshots when I get another area finished. :rolleyes2 Peace.

Well, practically nothing happened the past week. Like a huge amount of other EoFFers, I started that whole deal with the education and whatnot recently. Must try harder, must try harder.

Skills 150 / 900

Every little bit helps, right? Does anyone else have any opinions on the demo version yet?

[Slicksword45]

I would but i'm getting the same error messege that the other guy got. how did he fix it I wonder....

I think Cloudstrife4003 just followed the instructions that Rase posted to get it to work. Also, make sure that you're downloading the game and the player from the correct links. The game is linked in post #49 and the player is linked in post #56.

Now that I've taken a reasonable hiatus from this project to prevent an inevitable burnout, I'm back in the saddle. I will start updating weekly again starting next Wednesday probably.

EoFF references will make their way into the game soon enough so check back and I'll post screenshots of them.

Not an uber update but it's as good as I could do, being absorbed with FFXI and all. Added more skills, weapons, armor, and enemies as usual and tweaked some of the events from the demo. Also, I've found a couple switch problems after playing through it again.

Skills 155 / 900

If anyone has any ideas for little things to put into the game, feel free to let me know. I'll do what I can but I can't promise anything.

This looks like it's gonna be awesome. Can't wait until it's done

By the way, where did you get the program to create this? I've always been interested in creating my own RPG.

Thank you.

The program is called RPG Maker XP and I downloaded the trial version from Download.com. The legal full version costs $60 US (which I also paid ).

A couple minor things were fixed again this week including problems where some weather effects would continue to run in towns or inside "dungeons". Some random drop percentages were also increased for rare fame items.

I have plans to include two members of EoFF so far in this project. As soon as they materialize, I'll be sure to post screenshots of them in action.

When I try to play the game it says "RG55102E.dll could not found." I followed all the directions. :sad:

It seems a lot of people are having a little trouble with the game. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the differences in our computers or something else. Another member tried to download the things from other links within this thread and it worked for him. Maybe you can try that. I'm sorry.

Here's a very good link to a descripition of how to destribute games to people who don't have RPG Maker XP

Spam my comment box, will you?

To return the favor...



This is a project I'm working on: "Lost Legends: The Promised Land"

As you can see, I hate the default resources. Unlike some people who insist on using them to death.

Very nice. Do you have a site somewhere that it's hosted? Maybe a download I can check out?
And oh, about the default settings: .

Well, I've got this thing kicking again after taking quite an extensive breather. I started working on the next areas and I'm going to try and go back to the earlier maps and add some interesting puzzles to add to their depth.

I'll be right back with something quite hilarious. *goes to make screenshot

Edit: Okay.

[oddler]

With this update, I've started messing around with scripts. I've added a new Active Time Battle system and changed the fonts and menus a little. Also, another area was added along with new enemies and skills for the characters as well as new opportunities for "fame" increases.

Skills 179 / 900
Items 563 / 1000

I don't have any screenshots available for this update because I'm still in the process of testing and tweaking the battle system. Congratulations to Psychotic for finally getting this sucker to work, too.

Who likes reeking corpses? Not I. Let's fix this one up, shall we?

Through much mocking and constant reminders of deadlines ( :rolleyes2 ) I was able to birth the second chapter of Hero Spirits. So this post is to let anyone who played the first part and/or for those who didn't and are interested. Different battle system, customized windowskin, over 20 hours of "yay play time" as well as some real revelations as to what the hell is going on in the story. The following is a work completed by none other than P. Paul Psychotic that houses this lovely game I've created. Say, "What is up?" to the Hero Spirits webpage.

If you need the stuff to run RMXP games, click the first link. The game is downloadable from the second link. And, to continue with the theme of this ancient thread and because I am SO dork, it's time to update:

Skills 230 / 900
Items 609 / 1000
Monsters 133 / 500
Areas 21 / 79
Sidequests 10 / 64

Total Progress: 31.06%

Like I've said before, don't expect anything too special and mind-blowing. This is just to keep me busy and to pump up my ego by saying that I made this game. I still have a long way to go but I'm setting goals for myself for each chapter now. Hopefully, that'll keep me kicking. Oh! Yes, yes... There are EoFF members in this one and there will be many more as more areas open up. Already got it worked out in the noggin.

Many thank yous to anyone who has helped, played, or offered suggestions.
