Screenshot Survival 20XX


Just as I get to like working with Ace, the world turns upside down and MV is out. (Screens from a standardish RPG project I was working on. The flags change color depending on which faction controls any given town. I'll probably import the project and start working on MV instead.)

The reason bars are usually placed at the bottom - there's often nothing else interesting going on there. Even the prettiest pixel lava there is now practically useless space. On the center screen enemy sprites themselves are the main occupation in battle anyway and you'd watch if they change shape or status and whatnot, tougher to keep track of that if the bars keep overlapping them.
Whatchu Workin' On? Tell us!
Been working on my first game, well after many incomplete tries with different concepts. Since I bought RM2003 on Steam, that's what the game's going to be worked at. I also wanted to finally tackle this experimental idea of finishing a game on 1 map screen, so that's how it'll be! (Though technically it's 2 interior areas on a single 40x40 map, anyways.) Screenshots would be kind of pointless for this reason.
The Chosen Saga: Valencia
Hey, a first game appears! I liked the writing, could play the game sans mapping. There's a black tile that comes with every default tileset - fold in the empty rooms and make the houses smaller, and dot their edges with the black tile. You shouldn't try to fill the 17x13 for each house (unless you believe the House of Leaves rule should fit your game - that a house REALLY is larger on the inside than the outside).
You've took the default tilesets and used them in interesting ways, not all of them work, however. Overworld tileset as the mountain area? Exciting, and passable. The actual overworld? Disjointed and schizophrenic.
I didn't make it farther than exploring the very first cave, but I'll get to the rest soon.

No-RM Event
I really wanna do something with AGS for once. Damn you contests making me actually work for something.
Ocean of Eternity
Interesting choice to use Ace Lite, you're definetely not making things easier for yourself. GL! Is the game near completion anytime soon?
Your favorite RPG dungeon(s)
For Morrowind, it was mostly Dagoth Ur's creepy, unexpected voice echoing during the last dungeon that has made the end part of that game very memorable for me.
In Final Fantasy VIII, the last dungeon also made an impression due to how underequipped my party had been as I entered that place, and the struggle over many days it took me to prevail (sealing limit breaks first thing WASN'T the best idea one could come with!)

The sound of the guitar is also very headstrong and center besides the harsh and strict flute that frequently tends to shriek rather than sing alongside the accompaniment. After a few listens, it blends together, and I like the composition, but agree with Nhubi that the sound is rough.
It could work as a theme for a bazaar setting in middle-eastern styled town? In fact for me this brought to mind Indy's Fate of Atlantis and the Africa setpieces there.

Thanks so much for feedback! Maybe later I should upload a midi version that can be looped. I'm not familiar with daws to work with better sound samples so that'll have to do for now.
I know what you mean about the sheets and their readability lol. Not sure what you mean by keeping the bass clef in pan flute at bars 5-8 though.
It's my background with reading older classical scores that I often don't tend to tidy mine up during or after the main compositional process. And sometimes it also results in mistakes in the music itself of course. (Looking at the pdf in hindsight I notice a missing accidental in bar 6 and unnecessary bass clef written in bar 12.) Key signatures I don't tend to add while I'm composing the music itself and as long as it's just midi, doesn't really matter to add them in later.

I made something simple for yall while there's still happens to be time left. (Technically a midi played through Ace's "midi soundfont", nothing more fancy than that.) I had something of a western sound in mind, a lonely fort on top of a mountain. It's short, but I'm fine with it.
It probably turned out to fit something else better, but atleast there's pan flute mimicking whistling in the latter part and a harpsichord faking guitar in the background for the ethnic instrumentation part.

And the sheet here if you wanted to take a look how it was put together.
