[SIZE=10.5pt]Self-Bio[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Hello everyone, this is my first attempt at making a real game. I am a 1-man team, there is no one else. I have no background with ruby and have put over 200 hours into this game only to compile a demo. All feedback is more than welcome, please enjoy.[/SIZE]​
 ​
[SIZE=10.5pt]Intro[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Kill Island is a turn-based RPG that puts a lot of emphasis on decision-making and choice. Nothing sacrificed can be regained. At its current stage, Kill Island is nothing more than a Demo meant to give the player insight into the final product.[/SIZE]​
 ​
[SIZE=10.5pt]Synopsis[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt][/SIZE]​
[SIZE=10.5pt]Strategy is everything. How will you manage to stay alive and tactfully defeat your opponent(s)? In a world where assassins are the most highly trained killers, you find yourself being trained to be a flawless, professional assassin. Through basic and advanced training you graduate and progress into an open-world environment where the story develops at your own pace. At this point my goal is to make a plethora of options for the player to do whatever he or she wants. There will obviously be a main storyline to follow and progress, but at the same time there will be side quests to branch off to. Which path of assassination will you choose? [/SIZE]​

[SIZE=10.5pt]Story[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt][/SIZE]​
[SIZE=10.5pt]As the game progresses, you will find out more about your past. Your parents were killed and you have a scar on your face reminding you every day of the specific incident. The main quest of the game is finding out who killed your parents. When the story begins, you are an 18 year old male on a ship to the assassin HQ of Death and Taxes. After completing and graduating basic training, the main character will fly on a ship to the advanced training area. After completing the advanced training, you begin to follow the main quest as you are willing to do anything and everything in order to find out who killed your parents and get your revenge. The title of the game refers to the final trial the player must overcome to get revenge on who killed his parents. [/SIZE]​

[SIZE=10.5pt]Critiques[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt][/SIZE]​
[SIZE=10.5pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]There are only 3 skills per character, and 3 different TP modes. This isn't a huge representation of my strategy/tactic tag, but in the future there will be a decent amount of skills and TP modes per character, probably around 10 each.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]The men, women, and instructor's tents are not accessible in the training area. In the future I plan to incorporate something here.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=11.5pt]I would like to include some sort of eye-catcher while doing instructor/xavier intro at the start of the game.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=11.5pt]Winning quotes - Couldn't really think of anything at the time, will ABSOLUTELY improve at a late date.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=11.5pt]No indication of surprise/first attack. Working on including some sort of indicator for this in the future.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=11.5pt]If you press the right arrow, it skips your turn. Not sure why this happens but going to problem solve in the future.[/SIZE]

If you're using Yanfly's Battle Engine, that is what it does.  You can find reference to it in the comments that are part of the header, starting at line #89.  As you will see, it is part of the ability to change your mind about a character's actions without having to cancel everything and re-select all actions.

EDIT

Your link takes me to a 404 error.

 Zerbu Title screen found here: http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/topic/732-zerbu-engine-title-screen-window-options/ 

You can also edit in Window_TitleCommand. There are other cool ones with a moving background but I made it simple, just letting you know that stuff is available too.

Thank you! I TLDR'd that part apparently. Also, I fixed the link. I was rearranging stuff in my dropbox so maybe the path was changed in the process.

Edit: So that's why your turn is skipped when you press right arrow with only one character.

Should be fixed!

Are you bumping because there has been some progress you want to bring to people's attention?

I was actually about to continue progress and was just doing a sort of "last call" for feedback before I continue.

Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such? No-one c
