Totse RPG: It's back
13579
Death Cog Machine
Started thinking about it and got rather pissed off that after all I did on it, even searching for a hard drive circuit board to swap with another hard drive that had the only copy of the game on it (But a dead PCB), I lost the DVD with everything on it.
So I just got done tearing my room apart, and guess what I found?

Fuck yeah. I'm going to go to a friends house later to torrent RPG maker XP so I can start working on this shit again.

Ohyeah. Almost lost it so many times, I thought that was it when I had to find the same harddrive just for the PCB awhile back.
Haha. Good luck...I might not have any antivirus software of any kind, but good luck hacking a dialup user
Also, very little story is done. Mainly artwork, tilesets, characters...things along those lines. I've got a few ideas for the main story, or main quest, but at the very least it'll be a shitton of various side quests involving past members/old current members.
I'll post more later, gotta go finish welding some stuff.
After i updated to windows 7 the program stopped working and i gave up.
Look forward to seeing more of it done!
Everything's sorted now, also found my old archive of posts that I screenshot'd because they made me LOL, along with a bunch of totse/zoklet artwork. I'll post some of it in another thread soon.
RPGmakerXP just finished downloading, the crack works and everything. I'ma try to fix up what I have to make a demo for you all soon.
Haha, damn right. You're one of the characters in it
Sweet.
So. Totse island. What would it look like/the shape of it be?
I'm not very creative at the moment, and right now it's a large rectangle with some stuff in the top left, and a few boats.
I just need a rough shape, maybe a MS paint diagram. Just ideas.
Zoklandia.
Shhhh no it isn't.
It still might be of some assistance in the making of the other land.
Analprobe: Haha, I like it. How do you make those? Is there some kind of random generator you put the names of places, ranging in importance?l
I'm working on a /very/ user-friendly demo at the moment, just got done fixing a few things with the fable work system.
I did not make it. I jacked it from Zoklet if I recall correctly. But it was relative to your request so I figured you would get use out of it. Also, don't forget to make sure Registration is closed in this &T
I got somethin' that might interest ya'
And: I've almost got a MGS-style guard detection system working. The guards have either "Tunnel Vision" or a "Cone of vision", blocked by solid objects. If they see you, they go into alert mode, run to where they last saw you. If they see you again, you're caught.
Holy shit can't wait to play!
I always thought "what the fuck if he was naked under there?" (No homo)
MGS-style detection works
MANNNNN I WANNA PLAY a DEMO

A possible sequel/expansion involving the citizens of totse being transported and trapped inside zoklet for two years until they can escape, while the corrupt mods try to destroy us.
Not entirely sure yet. Many, many sidequests. I hate it enough when RPGs have a main story and it's short, it's worse when there's /only/ the main story.
I might upload the demo in a few hours, also adding a few easter eggs. Dance party, anyone?
Protip: If it looks cool, walk up to it and press spacebar or enter. It probably does _something_.
Playing with the idea of reading computer monitors displaying Totse textfiles to gain experience/skills, like Fallout 3's books.
EDIT: Also considering ditching the turn-based battle system, and replacing it with a real-time system. Shoot guns, etc.
Or both. Turn-based for normal enemies, realtime for bosses? Hmm....
RPG maker XP. I had read there was a newer version out, VX, but apparently it's pretty shitty compared to XP and marketed towards noobs and basic users, has a much more "Friendly" user interface, etc.
Nice, I've messed with the newer version. I use Game Maker for small things when I'm bored, but that doesn't fit the RPG genre.
The only selling point I believe is the 60 fps frame rate.
I was thinking I could make graphics for gun parts and broken pieces of armor, so you could assemble your own weapons with different parts. Yay/Nay?
Also building the external image of the Temple on the island.
I'm basing the design of the temple off of what Jeff once had for the Totse BBS screen:
And so far I've only mapped part of the ground level, and a lot of the underground.
Also trying to add in vehicles. There's an underground "Hangar" room next to Spatula Tzar's lab, so I might as well have some cool shit to play with in a hangar, most likely mechs and whatnot if I can get the damn vehicle script to work properly.
or even better, update it with new content through patches or some shit
