----------------------------------- lordroba Tue Oct 17, 2006 3:56 pm Phantom Gear ----------------------------------- A while back I posted a tactics game that I had begun to work on in Turing. Anyways, I got bored of making that for the moment so I mentioned that I was working on a RPG. Well, I thought I'd post an early build of it here right now. The game includes two map sections and an NPC. (move right to get to second map) some screens: http://img280.imageshack.us/img280/7179/screen1po2.th.jpghttp://img280.imageshack.us/img280/5273/screen2ta7.th.jpghttp://img165.imageshack.us/img165/2294/screen3il6.th.jpg the controls are UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT for movement. W,A,S,D for changing direction without moving C to start, accept, select X to cancel, get out of a window SPACEBAR for jump(i'm still working on the jumping) Btw, the zip file includes both the RPG version of Phantom Gear, and Phantom Gear Tactics. The files are the same size because both games run off the exact same engine. The RPG obviously still needs a lot of work, but I think I'll post another build once I get a battle system in. I'd like to know what you guys think, so feel free to make any comments/suggestions The file is too big to post here so you'll need to download it via Rapidshare here is the link---> http://rapidshare.de/files/37127622/PhantomGear.zip click on the 'free' button and wait a few seconds for the download link to appear. Here is the MegaUpload link if your having trouble with Rapidshare ----------------> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GL7GXAHC EDIT: To check out the latest developments visit my blog: http://lordroba.blogspot.com/ ----------------------------------- Silent Avenger Wed Oct 18, 2006 7:54 pm ----------------------------------- There seems to be a problem with your zip file. When I try to unzip it winzip says that the file has skipped a compression stage. ----------------------------------- lordroba Thu Oct 19, 2006 6:49 am ----------------------------------- I just downloaded the file off of Rapidshare, unziped it, tested it, and everything works fine. Maybe your file got corrupted during downloading or something, so try to download the file again. If that doesn't work, try upgrading your version of winzip. I used maximum compression so it might not unzip properly with older versions of winzip. Hope this helps :) ----------------------------------- Silent Avenger Thu Oct 19, 2006 3:25 pm ----------------------------------- Okay I'll try that and see if I can get it to work. ----------------------------------- Silent Avenger Fri Oct 20, 2006 5:47 pm ----------------------------------- Sorry for the double post but I remembered that I had WinRAR on my PC so I was able to unzip the file. Also what are the controls for the game? ----------------------------------- NikG Fri Oct 20, 2006 11:23 pm ----------------------------------- Sorry for the double post but I remembered that I had WinRAR on my PC so I was able to unzip the file. Also what are the controls for the game?Read the first post. ----------------------------------- Silent Avenger Sat Oct 21, 2006 12:06 am ----------------------------------- Ahh, right! I think I'm gonna need glasses because I didn't see that. ----------------------------------- Carey Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:49 am ----------------------------------- theres somehting wrong with the zip archive. i cant get a couple of pictures to extract. from the screenshots it looks like a really good start on a game, but i cant download it to test it. please consider re-posting it. ----------------------------------- Silent Avenger Wed Oct 25, 2006 2:57 pm ----------------------------------- I've been able to test the program and I must say that it is very good for a start. You could make a lot of money off of something like this lordroba. Also Carey try downloading the latest version of WinRar which can be found here http://www.rarlab.com/ and that should be able to extract all the files. ----------------------------------- lordroba Wed Oct 25, 2006 6:16 pm ----------------------------------- Due to some people having trouble with extracting the files, I decided to to upload another copy of the file that has a lower compression rate. BUT I can't actually do that unless I have a host for the new file. I wanted to do it with rapidshare.de, but "Unfortunately all drives of RapidShare.de are full right now." So unless I can find a host (any suggestions people?), all I can say is, try using winrar or a newer version of winzip to unzip the file provided. Sorry for the inconvenience this might be causing some people. :? EDIT: Ok I've managed to upload a lower copression version of the wizip file via MegaUpload. Hopefully this will resolve some of the issues people have been having. Here is the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GL7GXAHC ----------------------------------- Silent Avenger Sun Oct 29, 2006 10:54 pm ----------------------------------- I finaly had time to test out your game this weekend lordroba and I must say it is very impressive. If you continue this into a full length game with a good story line you could easily make lots of money. ----------------------------------- lordroba Mon Oct 30, 2006 10:19 am ----------------------------------- I'm glad you like the game Silent Avenger, but I doubt I could make any money with the game (at least with the current graphics). If any money were to be made out of this, I would probably have to change the graphics, because as it stands, 99% of the graphics are ripped from other games. (mostly FF Tactics). ----------------------------------- Decadence666 Wed Dec 13, 2006 4:02 pm ----------------------------------- Nice screenies!! I'm DLing right now. If you can get some new grafixx made you could definatly go far with a game engine like that. ----------------------------------- lordroba Sun Dec 24, 2006 3:33 pm ----------------------------------- here are some screens of some of the stuff I've been working on for the next build. http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/659/screen1gd8.th.jpghttp://img245.imageshack.us/img245/8342/screen2oo8.th.jpghttp://img293.imageshack.us/img293/9605/screen3sz2.th.jpg I now have somewhat of a battle system implemented and a spell/inventory system. I've also added death as you can see in that last screen. Btw, what do you guys think about the water and bridge? I know there not that good, but I started messing around a bit in paint and photoshop so I could get some original graphics into this game. :) ----------------------------------- tkas19 Tue Jun 12, 2007 8:15 pm RE:Phantom Gear ----------------------------------- hum srry but it doesnt upload on my screen not even the download file program thingy wht do i do ----------------------------------- tkas19 Tue Jun 12, 2007 8:33 pm RE:Phantom Gear ----------------------------------- nvm i get it this owns man this can make some loonies ----------------------------------- Warchamp7 Wed Jun 13, 2007 12:52 pm RE:Phantom Gear ----------------------------------- I think you missed the part where the last post is from december :P But yeah, DLing as we speak. I'm currently making a Final Fantasy Battle System for my final project. I only really have the cosmetic portions done right now, no actual battling yet :) ----------------------------------- Warchamp7 Wed Jun 13, 2007 1:30 pm RE:Phantom Gear ----------------------------------- Also, pretty good game, but you missed a line of code. After delivering the package and he walks off, you can press C to talk to him again in his square. And he appears after his mesage and walks off again. Good game though :) ----------------------------------- lordroba Tue Jun 19, 2007 8:08 pm RE:Phantom Gear ----------------------------------- hey, it's me. I know i said I was going to work on the game, but I was forced to put it on hold and work on a different project for class. Now that that's over with, I think I might resume working on it over the summer just so that I have something to do. Btw, thanks for pointing that bug out Warchamp7, i'll make sure to check it out. EDIT: ok, so I just downloaded the version I previously made available to everyone and realized how crappy it was. So, i guess I'll upload a newer version with the battle system and everything pretty soon because honestly, there are a lot of things you guys are missing out on. :) Btw Warchamp7, that bug has been fixed in the new version. thanks ----------------------------------- petree08 Fri Jun 22, 2007 8:24 pm RE:Phantom Gear ----------------------------------- sweet
