'Till Death

[angel14995]

'Till Death is actually a recent idea for me, pulling in my new (and extremely weird) movement system, my love of vampires, and my love of corruption of a large establishment. I've always wanted to make a working RPG and get it out into the world to show what I can do, but all my previous attempts have failed before they really started. It will be as Pure Basic as possible, incorporating some ASM libraries to help with the massive amount of programs that will probably be used. I do not expect this to be completed anytime soon, but it will be done before I leave high school (I'm a sophomore now).

That being said, here are the things I hope I will be able to implement at some time or another:

:: 3 usable characters
:: Many types of weapons and armor
:: 3 distinct weapon types
:: Storyline incorporating vampires, a corrupted church, and lots of plot twists
:: A battle system similar, in a sense, to the Final Fantasy VII system, being a turn based real-time hybrid
:: Maybe sound after all of the major stuff is done and I have room

So, what do you think?

That sounds like a great idea. I've always loved RPGs, and your idea sounds like a good one.

[vuurrobin]

sounds great, I hope you have some screenshots or a demo soon.

about asm librarys, resource is probably the thing you want .


how were you planning to include sound , AFAIK, only omnicalc allows sound in basic programs.


good luck with this

[bananaman]

It sounds like a great project.

I wish you all the perseverance that you will need for completion.

Minor update:

Thanks to vuurrobin, I was able to shorten my movement code down slightly, making it run faster. I have also thought of a new idea for the battle system, but it would be kinda weird... probably sticking with the original FFVII-ish battle system.

And the checking program for landing on something is set up. Now to just add everything in...

[angel14995]

Ok, I've got most of the base code except for the battle systems, shops, and menu down, just some simple hours alone will yield those soon enough. But what I got really is a screeny!



Thats the scrolling engine and the talking engine.

[vuurrobin]

looks good


did you use RPGSK2 for this?

[angel14995]

No. I try everything from scratch first. I actually made this engine off Map Editor engine (see sig).

And I actually need to figure out the problem with the talking program and =< 48 in length of Str4.

[Harrierfalcon]

Oh, btw, if you're interested, in one of my given-up-after-5-minute projects I have a talking popup. A little screen pops up from the bottom, and scrolls a 14-character padded string up until it hits the end. Then it animates out and restores the background with prgmZHSLST.

It'd take about 5 minutes to get it working without the subroutines it uses, if you want it.

[angel14995]

Is it on the home screen or on the graph screen? Either way, I'd like to look at it.

[Harrierfalcon]

Sure, here it is. I'm pretty sure you can figure out what it destroys, but it does kill any list named "TEMP". N (Finance Var N) is the speed; 1 is the fastest, 999 is the slowest. (I'd stick with the slowest at .

[angel14995]

Thanks, I'll really take a look at it tomorrow. I am working on an assignment about Speaker for the Dead and I'm slow as heck at this...

[angel14995]

Wow, I've not put anything up recently... Oh well.

So far, I've been working on the storyline just a tad in between school assignments, and I have a Greek-like mythology as something to give the game a little flourish. The general storyline I was envisioning will still be intact, but with a few tweaks.

And I have a problem I have to figure out soon. My program for the map currently takes the screen and can move it as long as it is only on that 1 map. I need to figure out the going-to-edge-of-the-map-and-change-to-another-map thing. I'll post the current code when I have the chance.
