Title: Zygarde's Adventure into Game Making
Post by: Zygarde on March 28, 2016, 01:59:35 pm
So I recently got RPG Maker VX Ace, so watch as I go into the unknown realm of small time game development.  I guess you can call this a devblog.

Plot so far is about an ancient vampire trying to rule the world.
Progress so far.

Plot: 45% done.

Characters: 50% done

Maps and other things like it: 10% done

*So update on the game, I'm splitting it into chapters. The reason I'm doing this is so that I can work on the game at my leisure and fix any plot points and what not without having to go through a crap ton of things.

So far I think the game will be split into about Ten chapters.

*Chapter I: 70% done (I mostly just have to do some bug testing, and fixing a few minor errors.)

Screenshots of what I've done so far.

If you want to ask questions I'll answer.

Are the Biblical names going to be symbolically utilized or are they just there because cool? (It's cool if it's the latter, just asking.)

Since some names are Western and some Eastern, is the culture of this world based on real life?

The biblical names have symbolism behind them, nothing I can reveal yet but it's plot important, and the culture is a mishmash of Western and Eastern.

I'm not adding this to the original post cause I don't want to. So with there permission three forum members have been given life in my game as Secret Bosses called "The Emissaries."

Those three members are KZN02, Ironbite and Sigmaleph

No, that would be horrible, cause he's the second hardest boss in the game that I've created.
Is he basically Ed the Undying?

Had to look that up, no he's basically a secret boss that's a part of a side quest to unlock an OP weapon.

Well if it makes you feel better his character doesn't die after defeat, he just disappears and reappears alongside Sig and KZN02 in a chamber then they combine to create a dragon or something.

Oh that, you do know game making is a long process right? Like I have college to deal with along with shit in my family this game is a project of love that get's worked on when I have chance. Plus most of the stuff I do is just making new maps and stuff nothing major right now I'm working on the next act for Chapter I.

and Introducing a new area of the first Chapter called Vlunda, a desert area. It' still under construction and spoilderd due to size.

I have a demo for your viewing pleasure. Please tell me what you think I can improve or any ideas you think might be worth adding.

(Note this is all pre-alpha so some stuff might be weird and there will be some weird glitches so sorry for that.)

I think you need to take it out of the Zip folder and place it somewhere else.

Well it's been a while since I updated this thread, I'm still working on the game, but I had to restart cause I lost all the files when I switched operating systems, but things are back on track.
