Overlooking the Sea

[Gamemusicfreak]

Wow, congratulations, looks incredible, I'm so jealous! Have you decided on a battle theme yet?

[Ryle]

Dont Know which boss battle this is from Ys 2 but if u go into your Ys 2 folder and look at the music its labled
11YS244. Thats for Regular Battles for Boss Battles Im thinking of using Mighty Obstacle and Ernst from YsVI

[Ryle]

Also Might I point out the game is FAR from finished. The hardest part will be figuring out how fast to Lv up in relation to monsters in various areas then you have to factor in how fast your individual stats go up per Lv and also how much items will cost and how strong the weapons and armor will be. Its a big headache of a balancing act. Its kinda funny cuz one night I was working on this really stoned out of my mind and realized it was an algebra equation and accually figurged most of it out. Then I lost the sheet of paper it was on lol and cant remember for the life of me how the equation went . Putting together the maps texts and events is the easy part. Most of the overworld Maps are done. With next to none of the Dungeon maps

What kind of battle system are you going to use? I would prefer original method as used with Ys I-II & IV.

I would Also Like to use that System But RPGMaker XP is sadly a Turn Based Program. It MIGHT be Possible to make it like the original Ys games but it would take a hell of alot of scripting useing RPG Makers Script editor. Something I have no clue about. So sadly it will be a turn based battle system RPG Sorry

[Gamemusicfreak]

Heck, if I had the time I would be doing the same thing. I like how you have taken the image of Adol from the Turbo Grafx/ PC Engine for the battle screen. That is still my favorite version of Ys I and I recognized it immediately.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Wow, I didn't even notice this before! I don't mind a turn based battle system. I'm assuming that Adol won't be the only char you get in it. Dogi would be my first guess for 1 of them, then maybe Goban, Ernst, Karna? Is this going to be playable on PC? I noticed that you said RPG maker, is there any RPG maker for PC? Also, when you do finish it, would you mind if we(Frozen Utopia) made our own version of it for the Turbo Grafx/PC Engine?

You know I thought About it having other characters besides Adol But then trying to balance out the battle system would be 4 times harder then it is currently. Remember this is my first game im making ever so Most likely when its finished, as I learn more better polished versions will come out. And sure I dont Mind If you want to recreate it for TG that would be the ultimate form of flattery. As for RPG MAker Xp it just came out in english you can get it at Download.com You get it for 30 days free the full program then after 30 days you can Buy it for 60$ US Money

Also In the Next Couple Days the Web Page for the Game will be going up on Myspace

Hehe Sorry No Ernst. This Game Takes Place acouple months after YsVI so you could say its Ys VII but I dont want to call it that.

I was only guessing on who might be playable. If you're having trouble on figuring out how to do the levels, how much items should be, etc. You might want to talk to Nodveidt, who is the head programmer of Frozen Utopia. One of, if not our first release, will be a turn based rpg. It's actually a remake of a PC game he was involved in several years ago. Maybe he could help you in some way. Here's our website frozenutopia.nodtveidt.net/index.html
You can join our message board & PM Nodveidt if you want. BTW, Seldane, the creator of the Ancient Land of Ys boards is one of our newest members. He's currently working on tiles for one of our projects & will probably be setting up level design & other stuff.

edit-you won't be able to post in our Development Team only threads, but there are dedicated Developers threads.

TYVM! Im sure you guys can help me out abunch. I tell ya if I did have a "Party System" Dogi would definately be in it as would Feena(magic user?) as for the fourth character slot(you can only have 4) Most likely goban(thief) But Goban has always seemed like more of a fighter to me then a thief.(Fighter/thief) In the End Im going to have to learn to use Ruby Scripting Lang. Which is RPGMXP script lang. I say that because in order to make an ending u basicly have to be able to script that nuts. Plus I would like to add acouple cut scenes. RPGMXP can do basicly anything if you are a good scripter u can even make RTS games. Bla bla drunk and rambling HEHE
Oh And heres what it looks like to map using rpgmaker. This is part of a dungeon, its basic (none of the fluff has been added yet)

[ParanoiaDragon]

Looks intersting, this ofcoarse mostly goes over my head, I'm the music guy, & I do voice acting, & verbal sound effects for characters. If you PM Nodveidt, keep in mind he's a little busy right now with his wife about to have a baby(which I only just now remembered), so don't expect an answer back right away. I haven't gotten any feedback from him in a week or 2, but don't let that discourage you. You could even post questions in our forum, in the developers area, maybe start a thread in General Development. There are others that visit, that may be able to help you as well!

Here Ive Changed the Windows Skins Its Hard To see but notice the borders are from Ys 3 for the Super Nes. I know it looks funny on the corners, but it took me about 2 hours to cut paste and resize this just right also notice the cursor has been changed to a sword instead of a little arrow. Its also hard to see its just under the Rescoyd
