Sounds awesome. I say yae.

[kspr]

getting really close to villageburg being done. i want to have at least two big maps to walk around in that are totally done. i'll have this done this weekend no problem.

 

[kspr]

made a template out of drawing another house last night. progress is at a crawl because of life stuff

[kspr]

Demo with some maps to walk around in at actual scale. not every tile i've drawn is in this obviously, but a lot of work has gone into it. 

[lazlo falconi]

Downloading now, but I'm kind of retarded about RM so could you also link the necessary RTP?

[kspr]

i think it's on mp's download page. otherwise it'll pop up with which .rgss is missing

[Glaciermage]

Can I put this demo on the site, kspr? I'm about to download and play.

 

 

Edit Update: I wandered around, I met someone named Riboflavin,  I killed a crow named Cerberus, and I reached the end of the demo. All in all not a bad day.

 

I love the graphics, kspr. They are fantastic! I really enjoyed just wandering around and talking to people too. Your dialogue is very interesting and doesn't take itself too seriously. I can't wait to see more.

 

My only problem was it took SO long to download. I can upload it to monkeypro and put a link here if you would like me to in an attempt to speed up download time.

[kspr]

sure! i have no idea how to winzip to actually make the size smaller. i deleted all the extra maps, so i think the filesize might be coming from the tilesets.

I don't think it was the file size. With all those original graphics, 100+ mb are to be expected. I think rapidshare is just slow. It took me well over an hour to download.

 

Anyways, I'm really hoping you are close to a play through demo with these new graphics.

 

Edit: Had to remove apostrophe from file name.

there are a lot of other things i need to add to the tileset first. i'm going to add a windmill, where you can get a jug of fresh squeezed, organic wind. there will also be a greenhouse in the farmlands, and you'll be able to plant things to grow ingredients for crafting at the synth shop.

so how about an unskippable sidequest where you go off on your own into the swamp, and have to ride some swamp gas bubbles to see a mountain pass around a big swamp. i think this could be fun, but am totally aware of how stupid it is in the context of the game. should i do it, or leave it out? 

[Glaciermage]

I say yes. I always enjoy a little change of pace in a game and it sounds like this side quest will achieve just that.

[kspr]

it happens after a main character is crushed by a breaching sea monster. i feel like it's the wrong time to do it, but i don't think i'd be able to fit something like that in somewhere else. 

[Glaciermage]

Could it be done before the crushing?

[kspr]

i'll put one or two in now, so i can add it later as a puzzle in the dark part of the swamp so it's not just another maze.

[lazlo falconi]

Whoa, I had forgotten just how big Villageburg was, and what a treat it is to explore.

[kspr]

does it feel like it's too big?

a scale model replica of the next exciting installment:

 

 

would it be too silly if dwarves created a mountain by digging upward from underground, and pounded it out from the inside? i'm thinking maybe the dwarves are people who lived underground, and to escape rising lava, started to dig upwards hoping to reach the surface. the lava never stopped rising, but because of the material the mountain is made out of has an infinite elasticity, the dwarves will be digging forever against the rising lava, unless they leave the mountain and let the lava flow from within. this would torch the great prairie, and fill in the great swamp. after covering the landscape, the lava meets the water and makes the island bigger.

 

edit: holy crap started thinking about where to go after this chapter. the next chapter has five distinct possibilities depending on how you've played the game up until that point. it's going to be five chapters in one basically, and will tie together to a place you could have gone had you made a few different choices, and different people had died.

It would be silly and ridiculous and would defy logic/physics, but WHATEVER DO IT ANYWAY~

[Glaciermage]

Dwarves live underground. If lava won't let them live underground, they'll just build underground above ground. I think it makes perfect sense.

 

About how far into the story line are you kspr? How many more chapters do you think the game will have?
