game idea- the game return (A futuristic story)
Within the next 100-200 years, World War III breaks out, destroying most of the population and reducing the land to nothing but rubble. (Insert post-apocalyptic wasteland.) All technology has been lost, including games. The only tangible gaming left are half-charred chess boards, missing pieces and the like. Life itself has reverted back to the days of the old, similar to the era of the pioneer days. In order to keep entertained, imagination once again rules the minds of both young and old.
However, one day a young man stumbles across a dusty old book hidden in rubble that describes these mystical devices called "video games" so he sets out on the quest to find parts to build this magical machine.
At the very end of the game, he builds "Future Helper and the Seven Towers", the first actual game made since the war and it becomes a huge success. But then many years later, the game comes to life and the characters from the game pop out and say, "We are here. In the future. TO HELP YOU!" and then they shoot laser beams and use magical spells to restore the world to how it was before the war.
Then in part 2, you have to find the heir of the king since the world needs a leader and all.

A Few Questions [VX Ace]
A Few Questions [VX Ace]
Thank you. Your post was REALLY helpful. I just looked at HacketyHack and downloaded the program. Looks like something that will help a lot, considering I'm more of a hands-on and "being shown/watching videos" type of learner than someone that learns from just reading.
My only real issue with learning how to script is that I have an extremely poor memory. Kind of unsure as to how to get programming to "stick" in my mind, since repeated usage doesn't really help too much. I didn't have this issue a few years back - knew PHP, MySQL, DM, etc. but my memory has just deteriorated for some reason.
I guess for now, I'll just focus on one thing at a time and take it from there.
Edit: Omg. I love you. Those tutorial videos alone will help immensely. :D

I will love you forever once this comes out. It looks amazing, judging from the screenshots.

A Few Questions [VX Ace]
Well, I've been attempting to learn VX Ace and have been studying tutorials, doing some hands-on messing around with stuff to see how things work, and attempting to learn Ruby 1.9.
As I'm not technically working on something to actually release yet but am just trying to better my skills beforehand, there's been nagging issue (Question 1) that I have no clue about and can't find any real information about online. I probably just missed something but...
1) How the hell do you use midis in VX Ace? I see the option to initialize at startup but you can't import them. I did read somewhere:
Apparently that works, which I'm guessing I have to edit the midi in Anvil Studio or some other midi editing software? That kind of lost me.
Are there any other options to using midis in Ace? Not that I'm choosing midi over ogg - just want to know how to do it, just in case.
2) When it comes to mapping, which is more preferred or looks better: A map that has grass/sand/snow/etc. edges or ones where it has paths leading to an exit where the edges of the map are "blocked off" by trees/blackness/cliffs/etc. or a mixture of the two to make it seem more "realistic"? If that made sense.
3) What is the best way to memorize Ruby? Or rather how did you learn how to script? I want to (someday) be able to create my own custom scripts but it seems like something that would take me years to memorize, looking at the programmer's guide. I just want to know what methods would make it a bit easier to learn.
-----
I'll use this topic to post any further questions I may have as I experiment.

Make sure that you insert this at the beginning of music.
Edit > insert midi event > check "include all controler event" > choose "Tempo(BPM)" > insert your tempo > ok
then try to play in Ace
Btw, I'm using Anvil Studio 2011.

Heir of the King(unfinish)
author=Avvyauthor=BareGamerSame here. Darrell, did you list me as a developer or something...?
Wtf. I have 4 pages of notices from a game I'm not subscribed to.
Yeah. There were like 20-30 people listed as a developer, so we all got spammed and some of us ended up trashing the page and stuff.
Future Helper Sequel?!
Lol. You know what's funny? Right before you put this up, I was thinking about making a parody of it myself. :x
I just got around to playing it though. You about summed it up.

There is only one way to tell for certain that the boy is the heir to the throne. If he has the power to use the sword of legend, which can kill any demon with a single strike, then he is to be the next king.

Best English translation I can do with that. *coughs*

Heir of the King(unfinish)
author=DarrellChan
so who want it upside down or not upside down of this Heir of The King.
go here http://heiroftheking.wikia.com/wiki/Polls
You should totally change your game to where the entire game is upside down and while you're playing it sometimes moves from side to side and has strobe lighting effects during battles. Maybe throw in some confetti too. And random fart sounds.
I'm kidding, but seriously... what kind of poll is that? Lol.
------------
My main advice to you, aside from getting more practice, is to actually take time to test your games before you post any downloads to them. I mean, even without the spelling errors and everything else that's really bad about your game, it's hardly playable due to it being so glitchy. And for a game as simple as this, there shouldn't really be any MAJOR glitches/bugs.
This just means that you're basically trying to rush and output a game, without properly preparing it. But before you do -anything- to "improve" the game, you have to learn how to work the programs better first.
