The Dark Eclipse[7/25/15]

[walmartyr]

I'm finally piecing out that game I've been wanting to make for a long time now. Thanks to the humble bundle I got RPGmaker. I can finally contribute back to the community after playing so many good games from others. It's playable, but not too far in at the moment.



The Dark Eclipse-


You are a young girl who has her family taken from her.

You will find out some secrets of your life that you never knew about.

Fall to the corruption or fight it and make your way to the end.

Challenges will show themselves and you have to choose how to overcome them.

Take sides with the evil or fight for the holy side.

Your actions will change the games outcomes and interactions.

Use your magic or use your body.

Corrupt others to fight with you or go at it alone.

There is no game over since every action has a consequence, and they are not always bad.

Interesting even with the little bit there, should be noted that i found a small thing, not much though, just the tree tops aren't there, just wanted to let chu know

[Emily21]

Interesting storyline. I'm waiting for it

[CloudRipper]

Nicely done so far. Cant wait to see the next part of it

Got that fixed, thanks for letting me know. I didn't even notice lol.

I'm posting a new update right now also.

Don't know what, but after the first scene/intro i cannot talk with nobody but the pub ones nor enter other places

Not sure what would case that? Nobody else has had that happen. I'm about to put up an update, maybe I accidentally fixed it.

Really like the game so far, and the idea with no game over so far.

Two issues that I have so far:

1. I try to submit to a Lamia and I get a RPG Maker error

2. I think that the Lamias should either give more EXP than the two Orcs (seeing as they are a harder fight overall) or they should be toned down a little bit.

Otherwise keep up the great work!

[damienpascal]

I get the same error that Keefa does, submitting to a Lamia causes a crash. In addition to that though there are a couple other things I would mention:

1. The escape option in battle says submit, is it intended to be a submit option, or should it say escape? Because right now it still functions as escaping.

2. The random battles happen entirely too often in my opinion.

Ok dont wanna troll you just giving ideas for improvment.

The story gets way to fast into "rescue the world", maybe give a little more background, develope the story slower.
After her parents were killed she reacted quite chilled, make it a little bit more a horror for her or give her at least some sentences that reflects her lost.
You are working with images, thats quite nice, but dont rely to heavy on them. Try to descripe the sex scenes a little bit more.

Thats all for now.

[jaredh72]

Got the same error for the Lamia: "Script 'Cache' line 106: RGSSError occured. failed to create bitmap"
I agree that the Lamias either need to be toned down or give more EXP. The game looks promising so far though, and I will be looking forward to see how it unfolds.

Yeah, I'm not the best with dialog, and could definitely use some help with that if anyone is a writer.

I'm thinking I'm going to change how the enemies work. I'm planning on putting their sprites in the world and having them chase you if they see you. Also, this would give you a chance to avoid them if possible. Not sure why that error is popping up though as I only had one image to load for the scene. When I change the enemy setup it should fix that as well. I'm also going to change the xp and combat values on all the enemies. I kinda just threw those in to make sure they were working.

I'm still not ready to put out the next update yet. I've been so busy with my other job that I haven't had as much time as I would like to work on it. But the game isn't dead yet.

[AriasaYatomie]

I know a few friends who are pretty good writers and as someone who is on rp forums quite often i know a wee bit myself but i will need to talk to me friends and see if they are willing to help with writing if needed, would love this to come out good

*actually my friend has kinda agreed to help, i will do my best to get chu both on the same field togeather, he is a writer and a pixel artist so he can even help chu create chur own character icons too~

[AriasaYatomie]

that is good to know, I will tell him and get everything together and will discuss further plans after that and sorry for the delay, I didn't check me messages and currently I can't either figure out how to send back a pm or I can't...

[walmartyr]

cool sounds good

[DCF]

Looks interesting so far. Also I'm getting the same error with the Lamias.

Besides that my only criticism would be that the game uses the whole sex = evil alignment thing which is a bit boring and stereotypical. I think it would be more interesting if you could play a noble slut or evil prude. Hell you could have a 2 axis alignment system like in D&D but instead of chaotic vs lawful being the second axis it could be sexuality so you'd have slutty good and prudish evil.

Any word on when an update might come out?

[Ayeka]

Good work! Please update ASAP
