Update!

After a few hours work, a much better game the result!

The background is back, sprite movement is in, a loading screen and title have been added.
and sprite's are fixed (no more green boxes)

There is still loads to do mind. Gravity, More characters, AI, RPG elements, collision detection etc.

But never the less, its a worthy update!

Enjoy

Thanks :D

This is going to be an awesome game. I can just feel it....

Why? It has FFVII characters, of course! (Cloud)

Gizmo356

July 3rd, 2006, 03:20

thanks zion but i thought the betas were only for beta testers

Shadowblind

July 3rd, 2006, 03:21

ah, you need backgrounds my friend!
I'll help find some, just specify the location type

Zion

July 3rd, 2006, 03:32

In the future, any beta will be tested by beta testers. there wan't much point beta testing this one as i had to do it myself this time!

any plans for an eboot version?

Zion

July 3rd, 2006, 11:38

Later yes. At the moment it's a low priority :D

The Loading code is pointless, the user wont see anything but 100% since it only takes 5 frames and it servers no purpose.

--Coding by zion, please only use this code for education -- -- reusing this code is the same as stealing.- How Ironic.

Zion

July 3rd, 2006, 13:17

try to be bit more positive, the loading screen is just a little feature i added. and will be redone later.

And i explained before about the use of code in the old version. Please stop trying to drag my name through the mud. I would appreciate you trying to help me rather than criticising me all the time

yaustar

July 3rd, 2006, 13:46

Considering the number of features in this release, there is very little I can give advice on. I know nothing about the game nor the style of gameplay.

For example, if you are doing a game similar to Sora's then why not fork off the existing codebase and modify to suit your game style. There is no point rewriting the code from scratch unless:

a) You are going to make it better
b) It be a completely different game style

Developers use code from other people all the time usually in the form of Libraries.

Be thankful that Gun' is a lot more forgiving then I am, if any of my code was in that your 'first release', I really would have been all over you. Its easy to justify your reasons AFTER you have been 'found out', I am more concerned that you passed it off your own on the front page in a news post and that you didn't admit to it till I exposed it.

The most common way I have seen animation done by beginners is to have each frame loaded seperately which is fine but becomes difficult to use when you have a large animation base hence the demo sample of using one image which is easier to manage.

Keep all frames the same size and if possible, the same number of frames per animation.

The conversation aspect is going to be interesting to do and will be your first major hurdle to do right.

Amazing this is really nice.:D keep up the good work. i can only dream of how good the full finsihed version will be like :)

cnt2010

July 3rd, 2006, 23:27

oh my god i love vincent please put vincent in it AND MAKE HIM TURN INTO THE GALIAN BEAST YES oh my god

also please add sephiroth and aeries but maybe add a love scene between them where they fall in love and get married and ride chocobos off into the sunset.

I really like your game :)

Shadowblind

July 3rd, 2006, 23:35

as you can see, the game is all my own code now. And no its not going to be like sora at all, so i wont be using/basing any code of it.

Its going to be an interactive RPG. with conversations and either turnbased or on the spot combat features.

Any advice you could give me concerning sprite animation would be great :D

If you are to make it a recreation of FFVII then I'd suggest turnbesed battle for originality.

'Course its your game, I just thought it would be FFVII because Cloud's in it.

And c'mon people stop fighting. Theres no reason to...:(

And cnt2010 we've tried to find decent Vincent sprites, beleive it or not. It seems nobody is willing to make them. If you can either find or make them that would probably be helpful...

July 3rd, 2006, 23:39

ok both of you stop flaming your both gonna get banned if you keep this up why dont you help on the project instead of flaming it patio furniture if you feel you can do better why not do so as you are confident you can do better instead of flaming just do it i promise its harder than it seems

stop flaming this is a place of helping and sharing hombrew news not a internet thug chat room so please

good release zion keep up the good work

Shadowblind

July 3rd, 2006, 23:41

Sigh...

What has this site come to...

Please,at least move this argument to a different thread.

gunntims0103

July 3rd, 2006, 23:41

STOP FLAMING NOW IL REPORT YOU BOTH TO MODS AND STAFF AND THEY WILL SETTLE THIS

stop this is not the thread nor the site for this argument

BACK ON TOPIC--

July 3rd, 2006, 23:43

Sephiroth Sprites were the hardest to find in good quality. Gun do you know a person who can enhance sprites to make them look more detailed?

well you might have to go to apokolipz for that he's wicked with sprites

--sad that users only come on here to flame pity....

July 3rd, 2006, 23:53

Permanent Ban for both of you. You both disgust me and racist comments will not be tolerated on this site.

cooliscool

July 4th, 2006, 00:16

Haha.. if walking around doing nothing is the beta stage of a game, I can't WAIT to see the pre-release version.

Seriously. Loading a couple of pictures to a background does not constitute a game, and releasing it and calling it such is.. ugh.

a hole lot of flaimg going on hmm.......this is why i still dont want to release 0.2 of sora's adventure until i get a real game or at leased 1 level that people can play cause of flaming and unpreasiation of a game

well i cant wait for future releases and i hope this game gets better with time people just give it a chance

There's a huge difference between flaming and giving constructive criticism.

July 4th, 2006, 05:18

July 4th, 2006, 09:50

This is really looking great. Can't wait to see it done Zion. Oh and btw it seemed to me that those "two" were just one moron with 2 accounts who came here to insult your game. If you go back and read the fighting posts they are always making fun of themselves and both type in caps since the beginning.

Zion

July 4th, 2006, 21:48

thanks for the support. that flaming was totaly uncalled for. btw the games making good progress.

Zion

July 5th, 2006, 17:56

Zion

July 6th, 2006, 00:42

+ a new coder has joined the team
