Update Topic of Light Warrior: Yuji the Fighter(No More Updates)

[KumoShinagi]

Here's where I'll be putting updates for Light Warrior.

Feel free to comment on things that catch your eye.

[KumoShinagi]

I've re-done some things in both game files.
For those that have tried the recent demo, I'm going to release a better version very soon, hopefully by the end of this weekend.

If anyone has free time, I would like someone to test-play the First Half to Light Warrior.

[KumoShinagi]

I've made the next part of the game.

This part shows the final battle between Shinzo Koseken and the Xiang-Kai army.
You even get to control him and his awsome Martial Arts moves.

I still need Test playersfor the First part of Light Warrior.

Those who I've asked before, please re post to confirm and I'll send you the file.

[KumoShinagi]

Story:
Finished a big part of the story.
New Feature goning to be added

System:
The Emotion System:
I was thinking of this for a long time, and I've seen this in other games, so I think I'll try it out. To give the characters a bit more personality, and for you to get the chance of finding out more about them and interact with them using Yuji, I'm now implemeting the Emotion System. Depending on your pacts with the party members, you can:
-Get them to Help you out during some battle missions
-Look at secret scenes inside the main events (Like an extra convo).
-Teach the other members your moves and get some move and chi magic from them.
(Note: Emotion System subject to change depending on time.)

Dating [Name revmoved for spoiler perposes]:
You'll be able to date a certain party member and this will affect an additional ending coupled with the 3 you can earn.
This isn't your normal "be nice to her" dating game. This game will feature some parts in which you'll have to get a bit mean. ^_~
You'll get a certain amount of dates, make 'em count.

[KumoShinagi]

Well, I have some bad news, my Keyboard has just died on me.
I don't know when I'll be able to get a new one.
I'm working on getting a USB converter so I can use my PC keyboard instead.

Light Warrior is halted for now.

[Valkysas]

go to compUSA, office max, places like that. I've seen basic USB keyboards for as little as 8 dollars.

[KumoShinagi]

Thanks, Valk, I'll try those places, I was thinking of going to RadiShack, But, I'll try OfficeMax

[KumoShinagi]

Well, I've got a new keyboard, I'll be getting back to work today. :)

[KumoShinagi]

Story:
-Got past next part.



System:
-Did some tweaks with the battle system
-Made a new dungeon

About to work on:
-Next town (this town will let you participate in the battle arenas).


Sorry there hasn't been an update in a while.
I had to pull my grades up a bit, still do.

[KumoShinagi]

Update:

Story:
Nothing yet.


System:
Fixed and re-tested some past events.


My Max Drive's PS2 disc got cracked to hell,
so don't expect any demos for a while.

[KumoShinagi]

I'm sorry I haven't been updating in a while.

I've been a bit busy lately with school, life in general...

I'm just posting to say this, I'll try and bring another update very soon.

Again, I aplogize to those that actually watch this forum.

EDIT-I forgot, I got a new boot disc, so I can download files again.

If you want me to test your games, please drop me a PM.

[KumoShinagi]

Big news.

I've decided to make my game cel-shaded.

That's right.

Cel-Shade in RPGM2.

It's more of a semi-cel-shade though.

Also, Leon the Hero is being made in Cel-Shade as well.

I'll release some demos when I have time.

[neobi]

Cel-Shaded eh? Could ya be more specific?? I mean I know wha Cel-Shading is but not sure what ya mean by RPGM2 standards...

[RPGD]

Basically, it's the overlapping of a model's shadow over itself, giving it a cel-shaded-esque look.

[neobi]

I know what it is, I just don't know what it's gunna be like RPGM2 style.

[RPGD]

Actually, that's how it's done in RPG Maker 2; by setting the shadow to 0.

[KumoShinagi]

I leave the shadow on 50, and put the light to 0, that's how mine's work at least.


Anyway, the story demo has been submitted.

You can also check out the cel-shade.

Warning though, I may have left a ship on the world map, don't use it unless you want to spoil the story for ya.

[KumoShinagi]

Updates:

Almost finished with the first part of the Battle Arena.

I'm now working on a Instructional file that will come packaged
with the game files of Light Warrior.

In part two of the game, you will now be asked to register a name
for use in the game later. You will also be able to give the party
a team name when playing in the battle arena as a team.

Also, check out the new demo of the story!!!

[KumoShinagi]

Just updating to say that I might have to take out
some of the missions to make sure this game gets out before RPG Maker 3 comes out in august.

[KumoShinagi]

Sorry I haven't been updating, again.
Just got out of school for the summer, so I'll have more free time to work.

Update:

-Added to the story
-Added extra scripts to make things run easier

System:

-Sara's Summons are now complete, you can learn them by finding
special Chi Energy hot spots found around many towns, dungeons, and secret areas.

-Fixed the battle system after I found a major bug in it.
Still going to work on it even more,

-Altered some of the battle effects.

[KumoShinagi]

Light Warrior Part 1 has now been submitted to the pavilion!

Sorry for the long wait. I had important business to attend.

Doan's place is next.


Check out the game!!

[KumoShinagi]

Updates:

Story:

-I'm getting very close to finishing the story now. :)


System:

-Made more dungeons. I'm also working on secret dungeons for extra items and hidden secrets.

-Trying to make a event in which you have to run from a boulder that's chasing you.

Also, I will note that there will be a few differences between Game File 1 and 2 of Light Warrior. Why? Because I haven't got around to fixing everything up for a final release. Just to let you all know.

[KumoShinagi]

Obviously, some updates are gone, but I'm not complaining.
I've been taking a long needed break too. RPGM2 is a very tiresome tool to use.

Story:

-Working on the last battle today (if I can manage this freaking cold I have).

System:

-After working on the last battle, I'll finish up the system.

-Special quests and some missions will be made available at release.
100 missions is just a little much, but there will be at least the battle arena, character build-up missions and some extra side missions during and after the main story is through.

-As stated before, Part 1 will have some extra missions and places to go too.
When you find and complete them, you'll be given passwords for Part 2 that will give you extra items and access to some missions. People that have already played Part 1 can get the passwords by answering some questions about some of the plot of Part 1. I will put up the questions, and people can PM me with the answers.

That's it for now.

[KumoShinagi]

The game's story is complete!

My main focus now will be E.X. Missions and the game system (I've been working loosely with the system while working on the story).

Part 1 will also get a face lift with the game system as well as extra missions planned (Look at above post for more info).


Other News:

In recent light of RPGMXP being made legal to be used here at the Pav, plans for a sequel are now underway.

I don't have much more to say about it exept for some somewhat planned features:

-Action Battle System using combo attacks(I'm not a fan of mashing one button).
-Two playable characters with different skills, attributes, special moves and unlockable tag team moves.
-Hybrid Sword(Name and info will be displayed at a later date) & Bo Staff weapons to be used and upgraded with use, smithing, self setup, items, and skills.
-Multiple endings(How many are to be determined).
-Cheat Code system.
-Voice acting(To be determined).

More features are being determined.

Obviously I'm gonna need a team for this one.

I'll keep posted about what I'll probably need/what's doable after
getting my hands on RPGMXP.


That's it for now!

[WilliamKirk]

Sounds very cool. I'm really looking forward to part 2 and the new-and-improved part 1. :)

[Biggie]

I started playing your game, I just made it to the world map. Its pretty neat. Ill play it some more later. How long is part 1 anyways?

[KumoShinagi]

Part 1 is about 5-6 hours long (Depending on what you do).

I'm sorry about updates, school's been in the way.

I'm only been able to work a little bit, so it'll take a bit, but not too long.

[KumoShinagi]

Sorry I haven't been updating, things have gotten a bit complicated on my end. I won't be back for a while, but I will check in from time to time.

~Kumo Shinagi

P.S.: Light Warrior should be done by the end of this year if nothing gets in my way (Yeah, I know, I keep pushing it back).

[KumoShinagi]

Well, it's been a long while my friends, a very long while.

I'm sad to say that I might be canceling Light Warrior again for RPGM2.

When will I ever finish this damn game....

I'm thinking of porting it to RPGMXP.

Leon The Hero: The Rose of Alluca however, will not be canceled and will be worked on.

My reasons why I'm pulling the plug:

-I am not totally happy with the game. There's a lot more I want to do
with the game, but due to my med level of skill with RPGM2, I don't think I'm
representing my story/game properly.

-I have character designs for the characters. I want to use them.

To those that have been following the game, if I decide to cancel, I'm truly sorry and I will try to finish this in the future.

~Kumo Shinagi

[WilliamKirk]

I'm disheartened that it's being canceled, but it's fine with me too. Just do whatever you want to and that's cool. :) Are you going to release a demo of the second? (have you already? :red)

[KumoShinagi]

Umm, I might.

I'll see what happens in a few days.

[KumoShinagi]

It looks like I wont be canceling it after all! :D
Things worked out and I'll be able to continue working on it.

Development will be slow though, so don't expect it til next year.
You can all thank school for the slowdown. :shakefist

[KumoShinagi]

It has been brought to my attention that there is a pretty bad glitch in Part 1.

I have fixed the glitch and I am now working my hardest to re-release a better version of Part 1 and release Part 2 at the same time.

[KumoShinagi]

Well folks, I know it's been a while, but I'm trying the best I can.

So much school work...
Not much has been updated. The Arena Minigame is about 65% done.

After that, it's testplay and release. :D

[KumoShinagi]

I'm still working as hard and fast as I can folks. :)

Not much to report, just saying I'm still working.

[El Mastodon]

Good to hear....

I must say, I've started your game twice (and I've really like it) but something has occured both times to where I lose my progress and need to start over....

The first time, I didn't have enough memory on my card...

And, the second time (a week later or so later), I clicked the "Rest" button in the menu on the world map... I thought it was going to let my party rest and recover their HP and such... imagine my surprise when I was brought back to the main menu... if it was said somewhere that that's what it did... I didn't see it...

Oh, well.... I think I'll give it another go when the whole thing comes out....

Keep it up!

-El Mastodon

[KumoShinagi]

It's very reccomemended that you read the tutorial in the Chi Book. :)

Still working guys. If any of you want, you can discuss the game in this topic.

[hitogoroshi]

If I get a max drive, this will be one of my first downloaded games, I'm sure :)

[KumoShinagi]

Almost done, the arena mingame is finished, now all there is that's left is a new area in part one, and then testplay. :D

[KumoShinagi]

Nothing new to report right now. The PS2 is in other people's hands and I haven't been able to work this weekend. :|

[KumoShinagi]

I'm sorry to report that nothing has been done.

Damn my Mom and Tales of Legendia. :shakefist

[KumoShinagi]

I'm truly sorry about the halt of production folks.

My Mom finished with Tales of Legendia, so I should be able to get back to work very soon.

Again, sorry for the delay folks.

[KumoShinagi]

As I've said before, Light Warrior for the most part is done.

I'm still taking 2 more Test players.

In light of improtant school work, my own test-playing will be halted for the time being. So, that means, test-players might be testing the game before I even do.

~Kumo Shinagi

[KumoShinagi]

Still looking for 2 more test players!

The test file is ready! :D

[Valkysas]

wish I had time to test. been waiting for this game for quote a while.

[KumoShinagi]

Well, as soon as my test-players get done, I'll make the final preparations so everyone can try it out at anytime. :)

Only one more spot open for Test-play!

Looking back on this project, I've taken out a good amount of things:

-100 Missions: Reduced to about 30

-Emotion System Event: Couldn't fit it in

Though, I hope this game turns out okay, despite it's flaws. :D

[hitogoroshi]

I wish I could play, but I'm Max Drive less. This game is first on my list to play when I get one, though.

[KumoShinagi]

I'm sorry to say, there's no more room on the testing board.

Don't worry though, with my future projects, I'll probably turn to the community at both Doan's, and the Pavilion again for help. :)

Thank you all.

[KumoShinagi]

My Testers are still testing the game, and I'm correcting any errors that they see.

This summer will be the release of the game! :)

[hitogoroshi]

Hey, I may have a Max Drive in the next couple of days.
When can the common folk play this?

[KumoShinagi]

Hopefully by the begining to mid July, the game will be made available. :)

[KumoShinagi]

ATTN TESTERS:

Thank you for testing the game, but now the testing phase is over.

If you have anymore test logs, go ahead and e-mail your final logs to me.

I thank all of you for helping me out. There's only so many bugs I can find on my own.

Everyone, expect Light Warrior, parts 1 and 2 to be released before the end of July if everything goes well. :)

Note: Part 1 is a re-release with some added scenes and extra side quests.

[KumoShinagi]

Just letting everyone know that by the end of this month/early next month (like, 2-4 days into it) Light Warrior Parts 1 and 2 will be released and you'll be able to finish (or start for those who haven't played part 1) Yuji's quest. :)

[KumoShinagi]

Expect it tomorrow!

Yay! The day is almost here!!

[KumoShinagi]

Go to my website's downloads section to get the full game!

Game will be available everywhere shortly!
