thanks, akumayo!

Here's the spoiler:

Spoiler

Not all items have a use yet. The plushie is a gift for your sister later on. The apple will be used as... I don't know yet ^^', the radio is a joke based on a tv-show in which some people tried or talking/playing music (de-)stimulated the growth of plants. It turns out that Black Metal gives the best result (I don't like Black Metal to be honest, but I found it too hilarious! The feather is used to buy a travel agency card which you need to complete the demo (I'm not telling where to get it or where to use it!). In the full game it will give you the possability to travel between cities. ...Am I mean?

[close]

I hope this can be of some use to you!

In general I didn't work too much on my game these weeks, so I can't promise there will be a new demo very soon. It's mortly the usual schoolstuff (homework... *shudders*) and my new bought game Kingdom Hearts that keep me busy. Also Dolls, and KiSS Dolls, and... My, I do more stuff than I thought... :S

Anyways, as soon as I get some of the backgrounds and the programming done I'll drop a note.

This isn't actually an update, but I've posted a few nominationable thingies in the For Your Consideration thread.

[A�rendyll (formerly Yurina)]

Bad news, my game is officially on hold. I know how I'll let the game continue, I have all characters right in my head. What's the problem you ask? The backgrounds and the sound.

* Backgrounds:
I hate my current backgrounds to be honest. The tiles don't look bad, but I'm bad at adding details, and I'm never convinced they look good. I also don't have the time to work on them. So I request help.
I'm looking for someone with tile experience who want to give me a home-made set of some locations I need to get done. I can send you sketches of the rooms I need. I'm not asking for one person to do all the work as long as the ones who help me out have backies who correspond good with eachother.

* Music and sound:
I need footsteps, flowing water, bees, birds ,some kind of sci-fi sound like you open a program which works with holograms (hard to describe) and maybe other things I can't think of now. I don't care where you get them or how you make them as long as they are not protected by patents, etc.
The music has to be a bit celtic and midieval. The world of Elesta is a fantasy-world with monsters, warriors, mages, etc. But this game focusses on something a bit different. The music and sound will maybe also be used for future Elestian Tales, be aware of that.

I'll also put this in this thread:

Just PM me if you want to offer your services.

EDIT: I updated the first post a bit.

I'd definitely help if i wasn't busy with my own RPG 

Goodluck, you're game is gonna be awesome. The demo rocked!

[A�rendyll (formerly Yurina)]

Hi all,

I'm working on this game again, so don't worry.

I still need music artists, but the backgrounds are my major concern. I'm making 100% home-made tiles now, and they need a lot of time, but this way I can easily work out details without having to apply a style different from my own. I love Eph's but the colours are too bright and too grey for this game. Sorry Eph!

Anyways, I have refreshed energy, and I'll post some new screenshots when I get a new background done.

EDIT: I've updated the first post with a new statistic, namely story. I also changed a thing or two, but only trained eye's will be able to notice that.

[A�rendyll (formerly Yurina)]

I'm very happy to announce my newest member of the crew: Akumayo.

Akumayo offered help for the backgrounds, which will speed up the game creation progress. Now I have more time to work on the characters I want to include, plus the details of the storyline.

However, I still need a musician to help me out... I've contacted some members, but... well, you can guess the outcome.

Just PM me when you want to help me with some music!

Quick Question, what program you use to Zip this file?  the thing I use doesn't pop up with a Password window...

[A�rendyll (formerly Yurina)]

I use WinRar to zip them. I suppose you use WinZip or something different, I didn't test or WinZip opens the readme's instant, but WinRar does.

I'll test it out.

I'm very, very, VERY sorry to tell youI'm forced to put my game on hold again.

My parents removed the pc from my bedroom, which means I only have 1 hour and 30 minutes a day (if I'm lucky) to get some stuff done.

Currently I'm still trying to improve the backgrounds. I think they look weird with my sprites (don't ask). The portraits (and maybe the walking cycles) will also get a new look.

I can't do anything in AGS, since I was so stupid to not back the game project up on an USB stick or a floppydisc. *bangs head on table repeatidly*

I'm still trying to get my pc back. I'll drop a not when it's on my desk again.
