Simple_tale (RPG Maker VX + RTP game)

Postby simple_tale » Wed Jan 28, 2015 9:03 am

Work in Progress

I'm making this game for some time now, and I would really appreciate any comments, sugestions.
Is anyone out there who'd be interested to help me finish it?

First of all, Simple Tale is a fantasy rpg game. Very dirty one.
You find yourself in a fantasy kindom of Murcia divided by racial problems. The new King issued edict that all nonhumans should be banned from the Kingdom.
Will You support a King on your journey, or rather stick with outcasts?
Right now there's poor variety of classes. You start as warrior or ranger and can multiclass later to wizard or rouge.
You play as single character whole game, but some people might join you in crucial moments as allies.

Features:
I didn't know how to make efficient quest progress menu, so every new quests will show up as items (with description) in inventory, and can be dissmised by simply klicking on them.
There are few features other than exp that affect gameplay: honour/renown, charm, King and nonhuman's support (determines main plot) - all of them can drop below zero. You can check your current status in certain places, like your room in first town (you will earn it after you help bartender).

Locations in Torn:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

fields
pond
cemetery ---> forest through hidden path ----> crypt


Locations in Bulks Camp:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

3 x house
!secret
tree top:
---> house 1
---> house 2 (you can find secret here - before you ever go upstairs) ------> second floor
---> house 3 ------> two rooms
---> house 4 ----> balcony


Locations in Cruv:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

fields ---> path:
----> cemetery
----> !secret


Unfinished quests:
Memory Remains.
Elves are here.
The flower.
Old map.

First chapter is half way done. The nonhumans path is almost finished.
Hope you will have fun playing this game, and I'm waiting for your feedback.

Lockpicks:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

You will find lockpick on a corpse in forest, behind cementery. Gravedigger will tell you all about it. Better save when you enter this location... you will need rope there for example.
You can buy lockpicks in certain shady individuals ;)


Elf in distress quest:
I really have to make this one much simpler... my bad.
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

When you don't drink with stable boy, you can meet Lorien himself and pick some Bulks points. You can start this quest this way too. If you do drink - begger will tell you what has happend.
After chat with elf in prison, you have to enter different location three times(the message will pop: "you get the feeling, you're beeing watched".
!You must be wearing token, that elf gave you!
1)After that, Lorien will visit you in your room, then you're taking nap.
2)or he can be found in forest behing cemetery (in crypt)


Did you like Anna?
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Just as game starts, don't dress up, and talk to anna two or three times.
When you leave room, don't go all the way down stairs and return to your room, to see what she's been up to ;)

Oh crap... did you know, all the non paved roads "leading off map", are different locations?

Lucian's bar:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Tip bartender two times: on two highest requests. You will make some shady friend there, and start whole new side quest that might impact game.


I spent all money on hookers:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Check well on a pond location. There is a fisherman there, who might halp you out.
Search bucket in toilet in Luciano's bar... ...if you are despered or don't care to get dirty.

Took me a while to figure it out as well.
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Place ashes around the spot that makes [Adam] feel weak, step off to the side/top/bottom, say you're there to steal (saying you're not just loops), step onto the circle and break it.
When the fiery moon rises and the frozen sun sets, then the war between good and evil shall come to an end. Until then I, the guardian of both heaven and hell, the keeper of destruction and bringer of peace, shall dream these lives to death and freedom.

I did that and it's not doing anything for me... what do you mean by "step off".. like just step outside the ashes?

Yes.
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

It becomes a summoning circle. Answer the demon's questions as: answer, exploring, yes! then walk onto the circle and press enter.

I place the ashes in a circle around that spot and then nothing happens, I tried stepping out in the order you said and still nothing happens, no demon appears or anything

There are 8 spots around it that the ashes go on.

It was a bug. Fixed it, and thx.
Issue here: when you're running from bats into circle (the center tile) it fucks up whole event... sorry, you have to make it all over again.

ah yeah it took a while for combat with the bats to trigger for me, I basically had to walk half way through the room with them on top of me before it started... no worries tho I have a save from before I walked down stairs because I knew there was a puzzle there so I'll just do it again

The typos and poor grammar make it hard to play. I like the premise, but I am curious why you went with Bulks as a racial insult. Elves...aren't exactly bulky.

I know I'm not much of a writer... especially in english.
Im glad someone noticed the 'bulks' name case. You probably know the answer: If government say they are bulky, you better fear them simple farmer. We all know how it works ;)

I'm planning to finish this chapter by the end of this year. Can't say when exactly.
If someone is interested in helping me, I'd really appreciate finished dialogues I could use, meaby some simple quest ideas with whole dialogues covering it. I can handle scripts.
Writing conversations could be very time consuming, and if You like this game or catch my drift; We can easily do it together!

Ok, I have been playing this for hours now again and this is the most progress I have ever made with either of the two story lines but I can't find Pied Peter and how do I finish Sword from the past quest
I might not create games, but I will test them, Then I will give advice on what I think needs to be added, removed, or improved.

Hi, it's not dead. I made some progress, but I will finish it all and not post updates.

You can't find Pied Peter in current version - sorry i didn't mention it. He's there, but this quest will be combined with other plot.
You can ask blacksmith in Cruv to upgrade Sword, but nothing more ...yet.

Is it me, or does it seem like you can actual due more with the bulk timeline then the kingsmen timeline, sure I usally always choose the outcast in these kind of games but they are so uneven in playability for those that with to choose the kingsmen path
like compare the two times I have for completing every thing possible for each path,
Kingsmen 00:58:17
Bulk 03:27:49

Game's nice, I mean how many games are there that offer (or plan to offer) two fleshed out story lines?
Loved the puzzle in the stables.
I found some of the texts a little jarring, however.
Do you have a file with the texts?
Oh, and I've seen in the files there's a scene with bars; is that the imprisoned elf, and I just don't know how to get there, or a later one? (probably the latter^^).
