[Amgamestudio]

Have something come out the cornfields .....

[zamanlee]

Wow that was amazing!

[WarThemedRevolution]

Should upload this on the internet it's pretty dang cool.

[RJAce1014]

Square Enix should hire this guy!!

[Faceboy89]

This is absolutely beautiful! Fantastic job! :D

[ShinigamiKiba]

@Faceboy89 thanks man, I'm fixing up the houses now :) it looks even better IMO

[kgwalksonwater]

looks great, what's the music at :50?

[razzorsword]

song*

[jjsanchezramirez]

These are beautiful pre-rendered backgrounds, @ShinigamiKiba. I'm amazed at your drawing talent.

[AngelicAnimeX]

This is wonderful - great job!

[stephanlmao]

did you make the game from sctatch? did you find the sprites your self?

[ShinigamiKiba]

@stephanlmao I draw everything, sprites, backgrounds pretty much everything.

I'm tiling a very big dungeon now with tiles I myself drew and once this dungeon is done I'll have only non dungeon environments to draw for the rest of the first part of my game.

I'm working hard on this dude :( and everything you see there is my own original work except of course for the music.

[stephanlmao]

@ShinigamiKiba OH OK! GOOD JOB THEN!

[ShamanisticStorm]

Brilliant work bro. Lol the music makes me want to play dragon quest. Thats where its from if im not mistaken right?

[nahpr]

DUDE! YOU GOT TALENT! Man, I would love to work with you. I can Ruby script. Just let me know if you need help. I can do big task or litle details. Like for example: I can make a short script for you so the boy follows the girl without lagging behind. I would love to work with; something a la 'Masamune:Demon Blade' or 'Odin Sphere' (indie style, of course). Let me know...

[ShinigamiKiba]

@nahpr AWESOME :D

glad you posted here man, thanks a ton.

I'll definitely contact you when the time comes, I'm done with my second dungeon now(well the backgrounds and layout), will be drawing tiles for the 3rd one starting Wednesday or so.

If you're still up for this and if this project doesn't die, which i wouldnt want to, I'll contact you around 2011 for help, with a lot of stuff. If you're good at Ruby you're exactly the kinda guy I'm going to need.

again, thanks a lot man.

[razzorsword]

@ShinigamiKiba please what is the name on the beginning its so peacefull

[DragonGuard1989]

is that dragon quest music i hear?

nice art btw, rlly like the style of the environment

[gwion35]

Great job, artwork was very impressive and the music had a very joyful tone. I'd give yah a 5/5 if I could find the rating panel on the new layout youtube is using.

[Shikomaru136]

This looks beautiful.

[ShinigamiKiba]

@Shikomaru136

thanks :D

started on the dungeon tiles today and so far so good.

Things are more blocky in the dungeons but I'm trying to maintain the look of the non dungeon environments as much as possible.

here's hoping I can release a video of some dungeon test soon, I'd say a week or two from now but who knows, no combat though, that's not something I can do myself unless I use the default RPG Maker XP system which sucks tbh.

[Shikomaru136]

@ShinigamiKiba Well if you got a sideview battle script and tampered with the scripting of the battle background... It's not hard, there are tutorials out there I'm sure.

BTW, about the environment, did you combine paralaxes with custom tilesets?

[ShinigamiKiba]

@Shikomaru136

I was going to use parallax with panoramas originally but for some reason the panoramas wouldn't center well so it didn't work out quite right in RMXP hence why there's no parallax. But, I'm probably going to use a panorama for the dungeons since I'm going to have to.

[Gamethroughs]

Hey there we are a team called project offset and we need an environment artist armor clothes etc

want to be hired?

[ShinigamiKiba]

@Gamethroughs

sorry man, I'm not good enough to work on a team tbh, I'm sure you guys will find someone better, plus I really don't have the time to.

Thanks for the offer tho :)

good luck with your project

[Shikomaru136]

@ShinigamiKiba Wow, so this was all custom made tilesets? That's pretty impressive but sounds time consuming. How did you make it?

[ShinigamiKiba]

@Shikomaru136

I dunno, I just draw whatever, monsters, characters, backgrounds, I use photoshop mostly and some illustrator.

Also I can't draw houses, buildings and stuff to save my life :)

[Shikomaru136]

@ShinigamiKiba Ah, I see. Well I'm wondering whether or not I should use RMXP or VX, the game i intend to work is based on children as it is directed at children, so the spirtes would work better. Plus the available text boxes can also work. I dunno, what do you think I should do?

[ShinigamiKiba]

@Shikomaru136 man I know very little about RPG Maker XP and even less about VX, but I do know this, VX is IIRC more limited and has a severe limit as far as tilesets go so I think it's best if you stick to XP

[Shikomaru136]

@ShinigamiKiba Yeah, the tilesets was what I was worrying about. But there's my predicament involving sprites and text boxes.

[ShinigamiKiba]

@AndreTheSoave

I only played the first PSO, I don't care much about the series, sorry dude.

My Hunter's Guild thing was inspired by Tales of Vesperia :) In fact a lot of how the world and regions in my game are governed by guilds is inspired by Vesperia, that was such an awesome game IMO.

[xsni]

Impressive for a one man project!

[dude5857236]

this is gay ...

[Randios187]

This artwork really is beautiful, I am really impressed. Good luck with it, and I hope it continues to work out for you

[Metta925]

I just had to comment. This is absolutely beautiful artwork. People like you should be doing art for money. XD Awesome job.

[GuitarGhost123]

Have u ever heard of FPS Creator? It lets u make 3D games the easiest way possible!

[ShinigamiKiba]

@GuitarGhost123 3d modeling isn't my thing man, I don't enjo///y it at all so I can't get good at it. I'll stick to RMXP for this, after all I'm just doing this for fun, nothing more.

[Ptrrrrrrrr]

The sprites for the kids look a little annoying imo. Don't get me wrong, I +1'd, just sharing my thoughts.

Other than that the world looks great. I especially liked the background of the cornfields. Really beautifully done.

[sebastardqaz]

Beautiful art as usual Kiba, I await the release! One question though, will it be turn based or do you not know what you are going to do with the battle system. I also like the Fable esque 2 young kids wandering around.

[ShinigamiKiba]

@sebastardqaz I have some ideas about the battle system, but I don't know who would be able to pull it off in RMXP, I know it can be done tho...I think.

But for now I'm focused on the sprites and backgrounds.

[AugZF]

MOAR MONSTER RAEP PLZ!

[Seach94]

cooool :D

[Und3rmin3r]

:O dragonquest music:O

[Dutchbest]

I like it! Good job mate.

[Mikemc]

I think that blond haired kid is standing a bit too close to the old guy..

[Kronikwookie]

i think... i think the guy following needs some exercise :D

[ShinigamiKiba]

@Kronikwookie

I say he needs an actual programmer who knows what he is doing :)

I just made him follow the player and that was it XD

[Kronikwookie]

@ShinigamiKiba lol well what did you do to make your main guy go faster?

anyway i didnt know rpg maker can go 3D ish. I thought it was just stuff like FFIV and Golden Sun or something like that

[AirPhforce]

Looks good!

[Pigziggy]

high five gaming pals

[j10jep2]

oh wow i remember some of these drawings and sprites lol

[ShinigamiKiba]

@j10jep2

:D Glad you do man, I had a HUGE topic on LL I was updating with each new sprite I'd draw. I made all 80 human sprites from October-January or so, took a while, then I took a break, sort of, then got back into it, worked on the monsters and backgrounds :)

thanks man

[Imperia96]

Typo at 4:15

[Minrad]

[wraithstaff]

Love the Totoro music... nice WIP too :)

[sonicspeedx13]

frozen flame! ah good use of how you cant animate that AND breaking the 4th wall in a good way :D looks really awesome

[ShinigamiKiba]

@sonicspeedx13

:D thanks man

I think I can animate it...someday, I'll use a HUGE event and put it in it's place, but I'm too damn lazy to try it out now...I don't even know how to animate the stupid fire...like fuck if I know what fire is supposed to move like :)

[ThatTimeOfTheMonth]

dolly parton needs bigger tits

[Covaxius]

Dragon Quest.

[ShinigamiKiba]

@Covaxius

and Ponyo and Kiki :) and who knows what else as I keep making the game and environments.

[Covaxius]

@ShinigamiKiba

It's very cool. I'm amazed by what you manage to do by yourself.

[sieglines]

wow looks amazing

[MasterXHunterSaitan]

If you actually got a writer and did a not retarded story, you could easily get this sold as an indie game on steam

[ShinigamiKiba]

@MasterXHunterSaitan

you don't know the story, buddy, I AM NOT posting details on the story now

it's just random dialog, but I can assure you my story is good...to me at least.

It's also very character driven.

People who know the story know it's good.

[sonicspeedx13]

@MasterXHunterSaitan and if you wanted to sell it, woulddnt you have to give like some persetage of the money to the people who made RPG maker XP thats what they do with the unreal Editor

[ShinigamiKiba]

@sonicspeedx13

It's going to be a freeware game man, I'm not making money off of this, that is assuming I ever finish it.

[sonicspeedx13]

@ShinigamiKiba have fate :D dont give up, if you just give up a little youll get lazy and stop. belive me thats why i havvnt dont any of my lets plays. so ya...:D dont give up ever
