Planetarium (Now w/ Demo)

[AceofSpades]

~♦PLANETARIUM♦~​

 ​

Genre: Fantasy Action RPG

This is technically my first rpg maker game, so forgive me if I make any noob mistakes in this forum. I started rpg maker because a friend got it for me, along with the task of making a game for him. Now that I have it, I figure I should use it to it's full extent and make even more games! Planetarium is based on a story I've had in mind for a few years now. It was originally going to be a comic, but a game is just as good.

♦STORY♦
​

Spoiler

Mythology tells of a world where beings made of stardust dwell, known as the Cosmic Realm. These beings, called celestial spirits, are physical embodiments of celestial objects and phenomena. The spirits are divided into three classes: the upper class, which are all those related to stars, the middle class, moons and planets, and the lower class, made of dwarf planets, comets, asteroids, and the like. The lower class is looked down upon, not even being allowed on upper or middle class territory.
In the solar system ruled by the sun, Lord Helios, a spirit named Hades was found, and named Helios' ninth planet. For years, he lived with them like family. But one day, Hades, now known as Pluto, is suspected of being a dwarf planet. He is chased out by his own allies, and forced to leave the Cosmic Realm entirely. Pluto escapes into the Material Realm, where humans reside on planet Earth. There, he hopes to start his life anew, even befriending a girl named Erika. However, only six months after his arrival, Helios' eight planets are hot on his tail. Helios wants Pluto brought to him, dead or alive, and his once allies will be the ones to carry out this demand. Now, with the help of new and old friends alike, Pluto must stand against Helios' army, dismantle the class system of the Cosmic Realm, and thwart a plan to exterminate all humanity!

♦TERRA♦

Spoiler

Terra is the spirit of planet Earth. She is currently sick due to pollution on the Earth by humans.

[SIZE=10.5pt]Hey i played your demo and made a review of it:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]The idea is pretty cool, i like also how do you implement the script battle system in real time, i just wonder some things, when you fight in a stage and you die, the next opponent is new as if you progress beating the last fighter, also when i was trying to change characters the slot button H and J does not work at all. I must tell that you way to improve the menu using the basic ace resources are pretty cool, and the start screen is cool too. I just want to try to make an opinion about if the demo version, if is just focused on the arcade mode is fine, but it could be nice see also a piece of the history like see some cutscenes or hear something about the history on the game itself. The music is ok, i think you used well the tracks but could be better change the menu music for something less listened, ah yea, could be cool if in the menu implement something as a tutorial battle, i did not realize the timer before each attack under the icon at the beginning, about the graphics it needs some little work the scenarios.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]I really like the way you manage unlock stuff =).[/SIZE]

Ah man, this makes me really happy. I was hardly expecting anyone to play it, but you even gave it a review!

Action battle systems are pretty hard to work with for a novice such as myself. And yeah, people always seem to like the idea and story most. I know about a lot of the problems that still exist in the demo, but I figured I just wanted to post its progress for now, and would of course fix the bugs in following demos. I'm not sure about the first problem you mentioned, however. Whenever I play the demo, you go to a game over screen then to the title screen automatically after you die. Also, the reason H and J don't do anything is because the "character" items are supposed to be unusable during battle. What the character items mean is that you can choose that character to play as in the character select screen. I apologize for the confusion there, I haven't found a way to make those specific items unable to be selected.

Thanks a lot for the review~! I wanted to do something different, because I haven't seen many fighting games made using rpgmaker, if at all. I planned to use different music as well as include some of the story mode and history of the game in future demos. At the moment, I got caught up with the game I'm making for my friend, but I will definitely come back to this game and improve it!
