Liza's Avengance

Game I've been working on for a few weeks. Ends after you exit the tower with Kerry.

It's about a girl called Hikari, who is trying to avenge her sister Liza after she gets killed.

I don't have much yet.

And my houses aren't massive squares! (apart from Honif)

Enjoy

I just checked out Liza's Avengance ...
(It's spelled Avengeance I guess? I had to look it up...)

Spoiler

You've improved It was a little more cinematic, the attack on the town... the battle to try to save Liza. Also, nice first town in ruins...

After leaving town I kind of followed the forest path, but, since you could cut right through to the end... I decided to just walk through it

Kerry was funny lol She should have had a cat join her in battle!
"Heya, what's going on?" "Shhh, Kerry!" "HUMANS DIE!"

The final tower/lava place, I didn't survive it the first time, until I figured out the battles were avoidable; and then beat up the boss.

A short tragic story about REVENGE! Keep it up!
(Poor Hikari...)

....
....

Just for fun I modded Liza's Avengance a little. Just to maybe show you some tips, and other effects. Feel free to use them or not! :

The changes I made :
Check stuff in their house, their house outside, Mrs. F, and the leaving the town scene.
When you exit after Liza's fate... Hikari sees the devistation of the town. But the tombstones are already made?? I added an extra map so the tombstones after she buries them.
(I forgot to cut off the rain after that ><)

If you DO make a square house, divide it up into rooms if you have time; and as a rule of thumb; always put walls to enclose the place you made. I played around with their house... hope you like it

Also, on the outside, I changed their roof a little bit. If you make the roof too small, it looks like it might be flat. I kinda like that look, but I thought I'd show you what I meant.


Suggestions :

Cats and Cows, instead of just saying : Mooo, make them play the Sound effect for Cow and cat xD
Healing potions, they don't work! You have to go into database, and under Items, select the heroes that can use those items.
Tower exit, the Tower has no exit! Is that intended?
Tombstones, The tombstones appear when Hikari sees the devistation for the first time (before she made them)
Liza turning into the skeleton..., that's creepy! I guess it's better than her just disappearing though..
Monster encounters, Should make it so they disappear after you run into it once... (more on that in a sec)
World map areas on top of places, Should put the entrances on top of the towns... well that's how it is usually...

The next big thing you can try using is Switches.
If you use a switch with an event. You can do more complicated events... like having a monster battle disappear after you defeat it once, or after you talk to someone, have someone say something new without making a whole new area. You can do lots of things with switches!

In the modified demo, I used a few switches to control the doors and one to turn Mrs. F into panic mode.

Anyways, nice work
Keeeeeep it up!

Hey Did you try opening the altered mod in RPGmaker 2003 editor?

You can look at the changes within the game, and copy it if you want~
But, well... if you want me to describe how I did any particular thing, just ask

To copy an event, Right click and click Copy. Then close project on the altered mod, and load project on your original mod. Then you can right click Paste it into your own.

Same way goes for copying entire Maps. Right click on the map name on bottom left corner, and copy. Then close project, open project, Right click paste where you want it~

Warning : Don't forget where your original project is... Did you create a new project in My Documents? Or did you make it on the desktop? Or maybe in Program Files/rpg2003/ ? Keep track of where your game is! So that when you close it, you can find it again
*one of my earlier posts about pickelton tells how to find it if you lose it though...

It's been a while... I haven't played any new RPGmaker games in a while, but I still have more to share!
So here's one~

FEY
8/10
Length : ???
Legend of Zelda style action in a dark adventure to regain what was lost!
Status : Partial

Download : http://rpgmaker.net/games/778/
Engine : Rpgmaker 2003

I've only played a little bit of this so far, but it's very well put together, enough for me to believe it earns an 8.0 rating already. The characterization isn't very strong, maybe something akin to Secret of Evermore, but I say keep an eye on this baby! It's not complete yet, but the demo is already well worth a look. Technically it could be a 9.0 game, but storywise it could be 7 - 8. Haven't played enough to determine just how strong the story is...

EDIT:

I already posted Star Stealing Prince earlier... but it just got featured on the rpgmaker.net website! It's lovely...

Decided to ditch pickleton and do something better.

Forget I said that. I changed my mind
I worked on Pickles more. It's a far cry from the original now!

Spoiler

The main character is now called Anlon, instead of being defaulty (I'm not sure if that's a word...) named Zack. Anlon is an Irish name meaning 'Winner', and I thought it suited an RPG hero well.
The first house is split into rooms (yay!) and the crystal ball, the piano and the bookshelf are interactive. It's no longer about a guy trying to avenge his mother, it's just about a 17 year old randomly going on a quest.....
I used lots of switches to save myself from making 10000 maps.
And whenever you complete the demo a message should come up say 'end of demo'
Oh, talk to Beardo's daughter in ErinTown pub.

Mediafire is all new and weird, so I signed up to 4shared.

EDIT: Can you think of any better names that Erin and Ailsa for the heroines in the legend? They don't sound RPG-y enough

I'm downloading it!

Mediafire is all new and weird, so I signed up to 4shared.

I like 4shared personally, but it seems like they made it so you have to sign up in order to download from them.
So it might prevent some people from downloading files you put there...
Mediafire should still be good for public files...!

EDIT: Can you think of any better names that Erin and Ailsa for the heroines in the legend? They don't sound RPG-y enough

Aron, Elsa...
(Oh Anion is already close...)
Arotus, Elzu
Europa, Aliua
Erik, Aya
I'm just making them up lol

[Kanpachi]

You know Erin is a girl's name???

[X-Calibar]

You know Erin is a girl's name???

Oops... got me
I guess I was thinking of Aaron for some reason lol

SOOO, I played it!
Nice improvements btw! I was shocked when I talked to the bartender's daughter...

Spoiler

SMACK!
Ooo....

Things are shaping up!

I did run into some problems you need to fix...

Spoiler

Game crashes soon as you try to leave Erin town after talking to Ilse's mom. (It wants map 16, which doesn't exist yet?)

- You should make it so the exit to ErinTown requires no conditions/switches to run. I think you can't get out of town, if you don't talk to the mom.
- Talking to the mom turns on the switch Ilse's Home. That probably shouldn't activated until you save her!

(To get past it I made save ilse switch turn on when talking to her before saving ilse; and save ilse turn off after talking to her when you've saved Ilse...)

- I changed ErinTown's exit to only send you to the main map.

Lastly, you should change the Volcano's teleport to dungeon that has the condition switch "Ilse home", to "boss defeated" so that if you go back into the volcano, the boss isn't back

I enjoyed all the new interactions in the first area, and the changes to the maps
I tried to play all the pianos... Nope still don't know how... lol

[Kanpachi]

Pickles!

Spoiler

I finished it. ;D
I'll fix any problems you find, and then I'll be able to say I made an RPG! (Even if it only lasts 10 minutes :L )
Just to warn you, the end is VERY cheesy xD

ugh...
The new mediafire site isn't letting me upload stuff, so I gave in and made an account xD
