RMMV Final Fantasy VII - Rise of Shinra

[Meh]

​

What is Rise of Shinra and who are we?
Rise of Shinra - Is a Final Fantasy VII Fan Game created by 2 friends who want to create something special from the love they share of the FF& universe. This game has been underdevelopment for over a year now with a lot and I mean a lot of custom graphics and a completely original story that we hope others will enjoy to.

Synopsis
Rain and Franz are two brothers, that are like chalk and cheese, one is big and strong the other small and nerdy.
Franz has worked at the Shinra corporation for a couple of years now, and Rain is just starting as a Solider.
They are both sent to investigate the reasons why the Lifestream is rising.
Shinra is still mistrusted by the majority of people, despite them doing a complete 360 on their world view, now trying to focus on helping not only to restore the world, but also by helping it's people, with humanitarian efforts to help the people of the northern continent cope with life of the melting slopes.
The WRO are the worlds leading military organisation headed by the heroes of the Jenova and Omega wars. The world has seen 14 years of peace under the WRO, but the events that lead to the destruction of the barrier 17 years ago didn't just give the old heroes access into the northern crater, but it also released Jenova from her bond that the Cetra held over her for a 1000 years. She now brews under the surface gaining in power and influence.

We have completed maps and story for most of the demo, which includes places such as Mideel, Shinra's HQ, Nibelheim, Mt. Nibel and more.

What to Expect from Future Development
We hope to have the first demo released by Christmas '17, if not shortly after the new year.
If anyone would like more information about what plugins we are using, or how we have evented a certain scene, or if your interested in other technical aspects of designing a game from the creation of a story to using GDL's I'm more than happy to answer any questions via this thread.

Thanks for putting the thread together pal! Gradually will be adding more to it in near future!

After starting this project little over a year ago just messing about, around 4 months ago the project got very serious, with the help of meh ( silly name haha ) the story is more realistic and professional.. And with my mapping skills improving with every map I do, I feel we have really captured the ff7 feel..I can't wait to share the demo with everyone in early 2018! Thankyou

Yes, thank you very much. It gives us great encouragement to carry on. Things are getting real, fast. Story is pretty big already and I hope to of captured the essence of FF7, but in a whole new light being 17 years later from meteor fall.

 

[breakout]

wow, this game looks really good, I like the modern atmosphere and graphics a lot!
may I ask, if you used some modern tilesets for your game? and these character sprites in the video are from @hiddenone and @Candacis, right? do you combine parts of these sprites in gimp/ photoshop?
I am planning to make a game in a modern world like this too, happy for any advice before starting

 

[SoSick.]

hey @breakout thanks bro, i did once use hiddenone and candacis character sprites, from top of my head i'm pretty sure i used candacis arms, but edited them abit..ill check when im home! pretty much use RTP stuff for most maps and make stuff along the way! i really should start maybe posting some resources for everyone to use if you need feedback or advice feel free to msg me.

now polishing Nieblehiem and adding all the little animations/details etc! here's a little pic! minus the door and overlays

feedback welcome of course!

Hi, i follow your project since your first videos about it on YouTube. First of all, congratulations for all the work that you have done, you really recreate the FF7 atmosphere in the Rpg maker engine.
But there is a negative point, when will a demo version be available ? I know that game making is really time consuming but your project is really interesting and you announced a lot of times that a demo will come out soon...

 

[SoSick.]

Hi! Thanks for following my project @Aevenor I apologise for all of the delay’s! I have never stopped working on this project.. it’s coming along very nicely! I’ll upload some new YouTube videos for you soon! To show off some things..demo, aiming for end of may- June time!

 

[Aevenor]

Thank you for your answer @SoSick.
I'm Looking forward for your new videos and the demo !

Just in case it's any use to you - if you find my thread in the assets folder, I created a window skin for MV which is pretty close to the FFVII default. You can feel free to use it if you want, even if this is commercial. Might save you an hour.
