Shadow Sphere - Rose Guardian - 08-14-2012

Maker: RPG Maker VX Ace
I’m not the best at describing stories but I’ll try.
Story Prologue:
The world Vispiria is a vast place where many things have happened in its past. It is protected by the eight elementals Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, Shadow, Light Dragonfire and Spirit/Holy. If these elementals where to be removed or abused the world will fall out of balance and everything will plunge into choas. It is said that there were eight angels several years ago who were the ones who created the eight elementals. However they had sealed the element Shadow away do to its violent power to destroy and cause death. There are certain people who can use the Shadow elemental but very few can without it taking their life.

Main Story:
Princess Megan has leaved all her life and been betrayed by many of her friends in the past. She now feels like she can never find the right friends. However when she finds out that her own fiancée plans to unleash the shadow elemental in the world, she learns that she must stop him once and for all.
She’ll have to overcome a lot of obstacles in order to defeat him. The only problem is no one truly knows how to defeat him.

If am missing anything let me know and I’ll add it. I try to give everyone credit if I know who made some of the stuff.


Demo(Does not include the RTP): http://www.sendspace.com/file/pm6jyz
Mods I don't know how to put things in spoilers please tell me how so I can.

Also here is a hunt if you trouble with certain enemies:
If the enemy is fire base their weakness is water, if they're earth based their weakness is wind, if they're water base their weakness is earth, if they are wind based their weakness is wind itself. For future demos if the enemy is shadow base their weakness is light or spirit/holy, if they're light base their weakness is dragonfire. Dragonfire and Spirit/Holy do not have weakness though.
Note: The game is playable until after the Shrine of God sorry for not pointing that out. Also I really want feedback on this so please tell me what you think if you play it. I won't get mad at any negative feedback as long as it is constructive.

RE: Shadow Sphere - Rose Guardian - 08-15-2012

Why won't anyone post any feedback or look at this? Please I really want feedback on it very badly. I won't get mad about any feedback as long as it is given in a contructive manor. I don't mean to be rude but I feel like you guys and girls are just judging it by the stuff I made in the past and bothering to try my game. That's very unfair.

I've never seen any of your previous work so that would be hard! :P
You won't get far by accusing people, especially if they're innocent. You'd be better off just gently reminding people that this project exists and that you'd appreciate constructive feedback.

As for feedback itself -
You should look into fixing the language in places:
"He seems to be abscessed with helping Megan" and "Queen Susan exiled him do to a misunderstanding" should be:
"He seems to be obsessed with helping Megan" and "Queen Susan exiled him due to a misunderstanding".

People will enjoy your game more if you don't have issues like that. :)

I'm glad you didn't use the RTP tilesets and used Mac ones instead. They're pretty and work well with your map design. Decent work on mapping too by the way, quite detailed and natural looking as far as I can tell.

RE: Shadow Sphere - millarso - 08-15-2012

Didn't you just post the game itself yesterday?
I like to play people's games, but personally it takes me a long time before I can get to them.
People are just busy with a lot of other things I'm guessing.
And I wouldn't assume that it's because people are judging you on other works. I too have never really seen your other projects (though I am relatively new).
One of the most important parts of indie development is patience, my friend.
I appreciate Nessiah's charactersets for their quality, and MetalRenard is right about the grammar. Though it might not seem like a big deal, people will freak out about that (I admit to being a grammar nazi).
I'd be happy to take a look at this, but it'll take a while before I get there. How long is the game (estimation)?

RE: Shadow Sphere - MetalRenard - 08-15-2012

Damn. I didn't even notice he only waited a day before having a mini-rant. Don't you think that's a bit over the top Rose Guardian?

RE: Shadow Sphere - Ace - 08-15-2012

Looks quite nice from the screens, I'll try the demo if I get some free time^^

RE: Shadow Sphere - Rose Guardian - 08-17-2012

Thank you MetalRenard and Milarso, I guess I just tend to be a very impatiant person. When I don't get feedback I get scared that no one will give me any. Sorry for accusing anyone about my other projects.

Also thank you Ace and please don't forget to tell me what you think.
