Awesome ^_^ I'm glad my music is annoyingly addictive!

*ahem* Just in case anyone cares (I do...), I added another screenshot because I notced most of the screens so far only showcased the first town and looked a little samey, so I wanted to show another town and give the overall look a bit of colour. It's only ONE extra screenshot, but I don't want to post too much because you're supposed to see all this stuff when you play the game. Still, I thought one more couldn't hurt because it's been awhile since I've updated, and I want you whoever cares to know it is still rolling along. I guess I'm also celebrating getting back into serious work on the game after an extended "Easter break".

Looks beautirific!

If you can bring the same sense of nostalgia back from the old school RPG days as you did from the old school P&C adventure days with Cirque, I'll be one happy camper. And based on your screenshots and the info you've given us thus far... I'd better start prepping my Happy Tent^TM and Happy Sleeping Bag^TM.

My co-workers liked your music too. They said its very catchy. I played it on my work computer in a silent office cubical enviroment.

That is so inspiring. the things you can do if you put your mine to it. I hope i can make a game as nice looking and original is this with ags some day. Your the man.

Kinoko · Sun 22/05/2005 15:51:28

Awesome. I always knew I ruled the female sex and now I rule the male sex too ^_^

Hello, i ended up here in a bizarre and unlikely fashion via lots of internet searching but am glad i did-was wondering if it was feasible building an rpg with ags. The game looks really good btw
Anyway i've been looking for someone to collaborate with on a project of mine and was wondering if you'd be interested.

I have over the last 8 to 10 years been working on and off slightly obsessively on a fantasy/sci-fi story that has become rather complex but i think now its done pretty original (only gently blowing own trumpet!)

I was and may still turn it into a series of books and was going to write some music around it (been working in music for a while in bands etc currently doing some studio work so if you need any music...) but i then bought all the akira mangas and decided i would like to try and get it turned into graphic novels.(also dreaming of film possibilities-must..contact....gilliam..)

So,(intake of breath)...i saw your art was really impressed and hence thought i'd ask if your interested-i think a read of the story which is currently in a sort of written storyboard form-doing some character art ideas at the mo-may be a more convincing argument (wincing-dont want to boast but really want this thing up and running-i think it could go a long way!)

I realise its a lot of work but would be brilliant-massive opportunity!!!entire story is done all characters developed evrything its just the telling of it left

right well, sorry for long post, really hope ur interested enough at least to have a look as there are so many rrrrrubbish anime artists out there and i was very surprised at the quality of your stuff

good luck with the game - same to everyone else here actually-feel like i just bundled into a minimalist party uninvited wearing bermuda shorts and a sombrero shouting about being great... $:-\$

ps-current favourite things: Cloud Atlas, Deus ex story, Morrowind

hey, great going!!! I loved cirque de zale. I'm mad about Japanese RPGs, i've played them all from chrono trigger, chrono cross, zelda, ffseries, secret of mana, seiken densetsu 3(great game, sequel to secret of mana .. i think), breath of fire, illusion of gaia, lufia1+2 ... list goes on.

The greatest of them all (a bit newer of course) suikoden 1 and 2. Best games ever made.

I'm glad you are pushing AGS in this direction. Can't wait to see a finished game.

KrisMacDee · Wed 27/07/2005 10:57:19

It's been a while since u've posted so I was wondering if you've got any further.

Bernie · Wed 27/07/2005 12:15:15

This game looks promising indeed. I've always liked SNES action rpgs (SOM 1+2, Terranigma), or whatever the proper definition for them is.

Oh hey, didn't you say something about a demo in your 'Release Something' thread? How's that coming along? Still planning to release one?

Kinoko · Wed 27/07/2005 14:03:15

Bernie/bigmac: Uh (wow, this thread came up again unexpectedly), yes I am. There will be a dejmo but not for a little while longer yet. I got a HUGE amount of work done in the past month but won't be working on the game for possible another month as I leave for Japan in 3 days and will probably be hideously busy and stressed/having fun.

cal: Thanks, you have great taste in RPGs! I haven't played Suikoden but the rest are faaabulous.

Tyni: Great to see someone else with an interest in the area! Good luck with your project but it's hard enough for me to find time to work on Gift and I'm a one-project-at-a-time gal. This'll keep me going for possible another year yet.

calacver · Thu 28/07/2005 23:15:57

i definitely be waiting for you to complete this project. Looks very good.

I have some experience with making RPGs, but not with AGS or such engine.

It takes a while to get everything done and building the tiles (of course you don't need to really build tiles in ags) and building the story and characters.

All i say is goodluck and can't wait for it to be finished

AÃ¯Â¿Â½rendyll (formerly Yurina) · Tue 27/09/2005 16:19:20

How I love this gameplot! The screenshots are suberb too!

I can't wait for demo's/the full game!

Darth Mandarb · Tue 27/09/2005 16:51:12

Never ceases to amaze me ...

yurina - you must have missed this part of the FORUM RULES when you read them:

[color=000055]DO NOT dig up old threads!!
If you're interested in an old thread* about a project don't post asking about the progress. Send a PM to the game's author. If the project has been cancelled and/or abandoned there's no point in bumping the thread!

* Old Threads are threads that have been inactive for near to over 1 month OR are no longer on the first page of threads.[/color]

Or ... you somehow managed to miss the sticky thread, in bold, up top, which says "READ BEFORE POSTING"

Kinoko - I know you're busy living abroad ... how about an update now that this thread has resurfaced

Mordalles · Tue 27/09/2005 22:23:09

now that yurina has broken the ice and darth is blaming her, maybe i can sneak in a post here.

this game looks awesome, and i cant wait to see it finished. the art looks amazing, and i like your manga style.

Kinoko · Wed 28/09/2005 05:41:54

Update, sure thing. I've been holding off since I haven't had net access at home since I moved, but TODAY that should be remedied. Still, I'm at work right now.

But heck, what's a few words.

Okay, I've been working on the game when I can over here. Obviously I don't have anywhere near as much time as I used to but I do always try my best.

Right now I'm working on two goals.

1. Work towards getting a demo out.
2. Get some basic functions working properly.

I've done some nice (I think) new backgrounds and got some difficult scripting out of the way. I've been working on some music as well but what I'm really hanging out for is for my music-ly talented friend (who has also come over to Japan and is just as busy as me) to get my opening theme music done. He did it once but before we could tweak it, his hard drive failed so he has to do it again fromt scratch. The first attempt was awesome though so I'm confident it'll sound great when I get it.

Although as Darth pointed out, it was against the rules... it's my fault for not updating so I'm glad you guys replied! I looooooooove hearing that people are interested in my game.

I'll try to update more often but it just gets hard to think of different ways to keep saying, `Yep... been working on the game lately`.

Kinoko · Sat 01/10/2005 08:08:56

...and sorry for the double post, but since this is an update I do wanna push this thread to the top so people know.

I changed the title screen. Something tells me the previous one was aesthetically better, but I'm goig with the new one because it has more impact and is more traditional as far as RPGs go.

Also, a new screenshot, just for the hell of it. This appears very early in the game so I don't mind posting it.

calacver · Sat 01/10/2005 22:55:48

Judging by your latest post, i see the colour theme you're using

Those are really some nice backgrounds.

Kinoko · Mon 03/10/2005 09:13:32

Hehe, its not like the whole game will be purple but yes... I was indeed going for a bit of a theme. I like games that little things like that to tie them together.
