Ruins of Rydos [Demo Available!]

[Reynard Frost]

Glad you liked it! Working hard to get the next updated demo ready to go, hopefully it stays as well-written and water-tight as you've seen.

Oh I am SO getting this, it looks awesome!

EDIT: Played it and loved it! One little suggestion though, you might want to slightly nerf the enemies. Probably it would only take lowering the rats and spiders' health by like 20 or 30. Other than that it was awesome! I loved it! (Also it says "Continue the adventure August 2012...you might want to change that too)

Haha, yeah I'll change it in the next demo which will be out in October. (What can I say? I suck at predicting life.)

Funny that you mention the enemies need nerfing, I've also gotten a lot of comments that they're too easy. I've changed skills and stats a bit in the next demo, so check it out and let me know what you think.

 

[Apollo]

To rephrase my comment about the enemies: I think that until you learn their weaknesses they can sometimes be a hassle. Also Miles takes longer to get larger amounts of health it seems. This might be intentional though, idk.

 

[Reynard Frost]

Yeah I've tweaked the encounters so you have a chance to learn their weaknesses as well as encountering less enemies at in a single battle. Miles is also going to be downgraded to NPC status and a new party member will be introduced that is intended to be far more useful than Miles ended up not being.

 

[Reynard Frost]

A pleasant bump to announce new screenshots! Check them out and let me know what you think!

 

[prexus]

If you haven't yet (I haven't read your thread) you should drop those gradient health bars for something more representative of 8-bit. They look madly out of place.

 

[Reynard Frost]

Ah yes, I totally have overlooked this. D: If someone knows a way to get rid of that gradient ( a code snippet would be nice). I'd be totally willing to do away with it.

 

[Archduke]

This looks kinda neat. The pixeling is nice, do you do it all yourself?

 

[Reynard Frost]

Yes, yes I do. My roommate offers some advice on shading and colors, but aside from that it's all me.

 

[Reynard Frost]

Updated with a new screenshot (The last one) Showing off the new facesets (Many thanks to Archeia for the help and advice!) as well as a darker default color for the menus. I'll update the other relevant screenshots tomorrow or this weekend. Let me know what you think!

 

[amerk]

What I'd do to get ahold of those resources. Might you consider selling them as part of RM's store?

In any case, this looks better and better everytime I visit. I've just been too busy for playing games, but on the bright side I should have some time around the upcoming holidays, if not before.

 

[Apollo]

The new update looks amazing! Playing right now!

 

[Mr.Bukashi]

Epic send me the download link when this is finished.

The current downloadable demo doesn't reflect the new changes, sadly. :x But please let me know what you think of the old version as there may have been some things that have been overlooked that I can still apply to the new demo.

Actually, already played the old version, and gave some input. I will await the new demon now.

orly? I do have a new one, I will update screenshots at some point.

 

[Reynard Frost]

New Screenshot! Updated the combat UI. Check it out here as well as the opening post!

 

[Hesufo]

That's looking damn marvelous! It is strongly reminiscent of Lufia II for the SNES~

I'm gonna be more active from now on and I'm very much looking forward to the next version of your project.
