Sky Tower Rescue Intro ***FINISHED*** DL Inside!!!

Alynn · Thu 25/03/2004 18:01:27

Ok, I finally got enough done with the game to start and nearly finish the introduction screen for my game "Sky Tower Rescue"

All that is left to do on it now is the opening credits (which involves uses the crediz plugin, and doing a few more rooms, one which is an animated background), so hopefully within the next week (depending on freetime and motivation) I will have the intro there for people to look at... That is proably all the farther I will get done with the game after 10 months or so, as I will be gone to Iraq and won't have access to AGS or my home computer.

SKWEEEN SCHOTS!
Part of Intro.crm

Very early screenshot before I really got going on the intro.
EDIT: Final cut will have different buttons for the GUI, when I was first experimenting I kept everything as is, the buttons will be largely similar, just colored.

Beginning of the intro

Finally a pic of one of the bad guys after he did something not so nice.

EDIT: The two screen sizes are because of size, the game itself is 320X240, but I run the game at 640X480 due to the fact that the TTF font I use is basicly unreadable at 320X240, and the fact that the Knig n00b can't speel (sic) at all makes reading what he said nearly impossable.

So the items that are smaller are the actual png's to cut down on dl time, the others are from the game while it's running...

It will have some strange quirky things to it, I'm trying to be reminicient of the old NES style RPG's and the like, hence the small character sizes and limited colors on them.
There will be adult language used, the main character (which is based on my internet personality) has some foul language, and the fireball guy uses it more often then not, not to be vulger but that is just it's personality.

Storyline is based off my moderation prowess on an RM2K(3) website YaBB board... You could also title this game "Alynn vs. the n00bs" as all the bad guys are the n00bs that have taken over the Skytower (The website is SkytowerGames), if you notice the flame guy above, thats Flame n00b (thus the bad language).

All the rest of the staff are captured, and it's up to Alynn to free them from the clutches of the n00b. Although Alynn's main motivation seems to be getting into the only female staff member's pants (LadyKiKi), of whom the Knig n00b wants to make his queen.

Basicly, it will have lots of bad puns followed by rimshots. Sexual inuendos, toilet humor, satire, and all that other goofy bs that I find funny.

Put it this way, while writing out the scripts for the character dialogs I would laugh out loud (and get funny looks from my wife at the same time).

Haha this game looks funny

I love those pixelated graphics. They remind me of my old GBC Pokemon Games or my super old SNES.

I also enjoy the character design. In my opinion, it's like a mix of Final Fantasy and Apprentice.
It looks like an RPG but it's an adventure game! Spooky!

I can't wait till it's done but I gotta wait another year, hehe.

Is that rpg maker 2000 translated by don miguel?

Alynn · Sat 27/03/2004 18:44:02

LT rm2k was rm2k3 was translated by alot of people but the most stable is by RPGAdvocate... but anyway... more about STR....

In the end if nobody else likes this game it won't bother me in the least, I'm building this for my own entertainment. Which may make it a great game just for that but who knows.

Right now, AGSCreditz isn't working for me too well... so it probably won't be finished by this weekend (which I was hoping for) unless I can figure out why it's not working (or the creator answers my post in the Tech forum)

Man... Why was that SOOOO AWESOME?

I love the use of the RM2k RTP, I used to use that program alot back in the day.

Great humour, excellent backgrounds that look like the RTP in 3d, nice little animations, very cool credits sequence.

Defintaley the most promising demo I've played this year, keep it up!

Alynn · Tue 30/03/2004 06:29:03

I'm glad you liked it.... It's gotten a good response from my RM2K buddies over at the other website... Now I have a bunch of them asking to have cameos in the game... Looks like I may have to come up with a second game after this one just to fit everyone in....

But thats for later....

This is SWEET! Your choice in music cracked me up. It sucks that we won't see this finished for quite awhile. Best of luck to you!

Phemar · Thu 01/04/2004 13:29:14

Cool BG's, except the mountain in the river one looks off.

But otherwise can't wit till it's finished!

Alynn · Thu 01/04/2004 14:32:35

If by mountain and river one, you mean at the very beginning where it is labeling the parts of the world; then it's not off at all.

That is what RPG Maker RTP looks like I actually built that map in rm2k, hid the hero, and took screen shots of the water animating Then imported it into AGS...

So if that's what you mean, that's exactly what it is supposed to look like.

Jebbus!!! Just out of curiosity, I decided to check my download counter and see how many downloads of my little demo...

Over 700..... I'm amazed I'm astounded... I'm... confused why anyone would download this crap!

But anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to all the well wishers and the nice things said about it, and I'm giving myself some more free advertising by bumping this thread to the top.

I'm wondering now if I should risk having my wife email my source folder to me and start working on it out here in the desert... Twould suck to have my game blown up... but anyway...

I feel a bit crazy today.
