Viridian Skies, Or how I learned Unity is better than RPGMaker. - Games

Hello. Some of you may have seen FacepunchRPG or my Is desura trustworthy thread, RMXP is not accepted on desura, so Im remaking my game on unity. Verrryyy soon I will release a beta. (As in in a few weeks.) And thought I should do a media release. Media: [release] [URL=http://filesmelt.com/][IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/viridianskieswip1.png[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://filesmelt.com/][IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/viridianskieswip2.png[/IMG][/URL] (More to come.) On finish of a beta I will release it to facepunch and Desura, after that, I sell it for five dollars. :v: [/release] Progress: [release] Maps: 3% Monsters: 1% NPCS and Merchants: 0% Models: 0% Textures: 5% Total: 5% [/release] Beta Testing: [release] Alpha: Developer only, Current. Beta 1: Invite: After monster spawn adding. Beta 2: Public: After first five story quests ingame. Beta 3: Public: Final beta before release, First 15 Main Quests. Release: Desura, Steam. [/release] Beta Bonuses: (Because PreOrder bonuses suck!) [release] Alpha Bonus: None Beta 1 Bonus: Legacy Sword: 20-30 DMG. Beta 2 Bonus: Ancient Legacy Helmet: +10 DEF and Strength. Beta 3 Bonus: Legacy Helmet: +5 DEF and Strength. [/release]

Good luck with your game :buddy:

Cool. Also make Wurm like aspects please.

You're beta testing at 5% completion?

[QUOTE=Itsjustguy;29656511]Cool. Also make Wurm like aspects please.[/QUOTE] Thats on of my top priorities, RMXP had the disability of no crafting, Unless you like a thousand event crafting map. This though I can manually place trees as crafting, Rocks for crafting, ect. [editline]6th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Thorny;29656603]You're beta testing at 5% completion?[/QUOTE] Not really, its actually just me. I should change that... [editline]6th May 2011[/editline] Also, If anything I MIGHT not be able to answer questions. Ill leave that to my advisor over wherever he is... [editline]6th May 2011[/editline] Integrating with community: [url]http://www.burgzergarcade.com/hack-slash-rpg-unity3d-game-engine-tutorial[/url] THIS is the tutorial im using as a code base.

This hopefully will work out.Will there be multiplayer/co-op/mmo ?

[QUOTE=Itsjustguy;29657689]This hopefully will work out.Will there be multiplayer/co-op/mmo ?[/QUOTE] If I find a good way to host it it will be mmo. A one time fee mmo. Meanwhile though it will be a singleplayer game.

I'll hold you to it, OP.

Hm, should he game be toon shaded (Borderlands like) or normal like the above screenshots?

Normal please, i hate the toonish ones (except TF2 :P)

Hm, Im coding a bit fast. So I might have a Combat demo in a cave environment VERY soon. [editline]6th May 2011[/editline] For everyone here, I request an answer, what would you rather this be on? Desura or Steam? (Only one of them, Im not adding both achievement api types.)

I highly doubt that the first game you make after going from an RPG maker to a scripting language will get on either.

Also, thanks to unity this will work on macs. :buddy:

I hope you'll release the source code along with it!

[QUOTE=kaine123;29659121]I hope you'll release the source code along with it![/QUOTE] I will. It will have the VITAL code and tutorials for monsters. [editline]6th May 2011[/editline] Also it may have a mobile version, Unity converters. :dance:

So wait, you're releasing a beta that's 5% done? What happened to this industry..?! That's hardly beta if its only 5% done

[QUOTE=XIII_GT;29659251]So wait, you're releasing a beta that's 5% done? What happened to this industry..?! That's hardly beta if its only 5% done[/QUOTE] Beta will happen when its playable, currently its in developer alpha.

Is it gonna be realistic?

[QUOTE=Pruneyman;29659345]Is it gonna be realistic?[/QUOTE] Its more Fantasy Not-Really-Realistic-Weapons rpg.

A few questions:- any word on art direction? how about a general gist of the storyline (if any)? What about the combat? finally, How much will you be selling it for?

Also, does steam allow multiple development members to get the profits?

What about the combat? 4. finally, How much will you be selling it for? [/QUOTE] 1. Realistic graphics. (Possibly add cartoon outlines to monsters and npcs) 2. Original: Follow most generic RPG plot ever. (Boy from small town, suddenly demons, suddenly becomes hero.) New: Play as a castle guard, suddenly demons, suddenly [url=http://www.tekepon.net/fsm/uploads/reqbb/thumbs/reqbb4ae6e30ca554c.png]giant worm like thing[/url], knockout, Rest is secret for now. :v: 3. Combat will be in first person, unless I find a way to toggle this it will stay this way. Weaponry will be Swords, Bows, Magic, and Spears mostly. 4. 5-10 Dollars. (Most likely five.) Addons would be a dollar, expansions would just be 2-4 dollars. [editline]6th May 2011[/editline] Seriously though story is coming after the engine is completely rewritten.

So your going for an Elder scrolls-ish combat system?

3D Terraria. Doit. [editline]l[/editline] With a Mount and Blade-ish combat system.

No offense but I wouldn't pay for a unity game.

My god, Wurm with less grind, and better combat would be amazing

[QUOTE=RagamuffinIIII;29661122]No offense but I wouldn't pay for a unity game.[/QUOTE] That makes you sound ignorant and somewhat stupid. Unity is actually a very powerful engine when used right.

[QUOTE=MadPro119;29661636]That makes you sound ignorant and somewhat stupid. Unity is actually a very powerful engine when used right.[/QUOTE] When used right, I don't see this as an incredibly good looking game - sure it has potential but I just wouldn't see myself buying something on the unity engine, the same way I wouldn't buy something made on game maker or a flash game.

[QUOTE=coolity;29659380]Its more Fantasy Not-Really-Realistic-Weapons rpg.[/QUOTE] That's good but I mean, will you implement realistic features?

[QUOTE=Pruneyman;29662668]That's good but I mean, will you implement realistic features?[/QUOTE] If you mean environmental, yes Day and Night, Persistent Actions, and weather. [editline]6th May 2011[/editline] Should I finish up the castle and Plains areas and release a environment demo?

Yes
