My current RPGM 3 Project and... Hi ^^

[BQ_Etna]

Hi, i'm BQ_Etna from the RPGMMag ^^ I was pretty confused where i could start posting because there wasn't any place i could so i figured i should just add it in this thread along posting my game project that i'm currently working on. Tell me what you think about it >__<

Title: Ar melodica
Rating: Teen

Story: (For the full story, just click the link i give you below way down there...) The story follow Alex, part of the Midgard Knights following missions of eliminating and handling the outbreak of the epidemic, "Infel Contagia" that are attacking Songstresses. On one particular he finds something, something that could save the fate of the world Symphonia, the song that was crafted by the Gods of Music Musa, Orpheus, and Melodica, the song that the Goddess Melodica sang to end the previous epidemic, the Song of Melodius. Join Alex and his partner Anastasia, a Songstress and other characters on a journey of to save the world from the spreading epidemic.

And some interesting new features also:
- The new and revamped battle system, upgraded to Fast Turn-Based Battle System and Song Magic system which have to used by Songstresses to cast Song Magic. The Battle Bonus skill which allows you to boost your stats as the battle progresses. And Skill is divided into 3 levels that will be learnt at a certain level.
- Dating System, which let you date the chosen Songstresses in another world through the Melodica Portal, and let them craft more Song Magic for battle. Also dating is very important for advancing the story.
- Have fun around the city Midgard, where your HQ is located. HQ can be customized by going shopping around town. Also, you can eat at restaurants whether to buy or dine there and unlock conversations for fun.
- Map Navigator that allows you to travel from one place to another place, still able to enjoy the beautiful map.
- Dating Mini Games, which is important to raise a Songstress's Intimacy that is needed to go on dates. Dating mini games varies to cooking, saving the Songstress in a maze, and others.

And that's probably it for the features. Though, i don't know if i'm going to add more later. Oh, and for more updates you can check out my Development Studio if you want:

Which maker is this for? I'm guessing RM2. It sounds very interesting. I have one question, why is it so important that the Songstresses be save from the epidemic? And if your okay with telling us, why does the epidemic only target Songstresses?

It sounds pretty good so far, keep it up and welcome to the Pav

Re: My current RPGM 3 Project and... Hi ^^

Actually if you read the title of my thread~
It's for RPGM 3 >__>

The epidemic causes Songstresses to go mad and out of control with their Song Magic, that's why the epidemic must me get rid of. The epidemic only tagets Songstress for some unknown reason, but since the old times the Gods cursed the lands of Symphonia because of the existence of the Songstress (The reasons are secret and will be revealed at later part of the game, so i can't reveal it for now ^^)

Re: My current RPGM 3 Project and... Hi ^^

Doh! :P I can't believe I missed that. I hope you can accomplish all that with RM3.

Okay, that clears things up. Again, good luck with your project.

Re: My current RPGM 3 Project and... Hi ^^

Not sure if you can do all of this stuff on RPGM3. Interesting ideas though.

[BQ_Etna]

Re: My current RPGM 3 Project and... Hi ^^

Actually, i've already done it though ^^

I was actually quite satisfied that i could make the battle system with a little tweaking on character classes and such, and also for the other features most of them are already done and most using the variables. It's already 29. 7% completed.

I could post up a video of the battle if you want and other things if i have the time >__<

Re: My current RPGM 3 Project and... Hi ^^

I'm sorry, but even the name...

[BQ_Etna]

Re: My current RPGM 3 Project and... Hi ^^

Ack! You caught me ~

My game was inspired from Ar tonelico but Ar tonelico 2 exactly. That's where the battle idea came from ^^ I'm still sticking with that title >__>

Re: My current RPGM 3 Project and... Hi ^^

I want the sequel to come to America... I love that game.

[BQ_Etna]

Re: My current RPGM 3 Project and... Hi ^^

Me too... Sadly, i think it's probably around 2008 maybe.

Since i wasn't patience enough waiting for the sequel, and watching the video on YouTube i just couldn't wait anymore. So that's why i came up with this project. So that i could play a similiar game like Ar tonelico 2 ^^

Luckily, i was able to find some discovery along working on this.

Re: My current RPGM 3 Project and... Hi ^^

ive never heard of that game before. is its plot similar to the one your making? like a story offshoot or just an idea inspired by the game story itself?

its nice to see more magonians over here.

[lil_das]

Re: My current RPGM 3 Project and... Hi ^^

Symphonia? Like TALES OF SYMPHONIA?

[BQ_Etna]

Re: My current RPGM 3 Project and... Hi ^^

@Karr- No, just inspired really ^^ Maybe there's a little similiarity but other than that the story is original.

@lil das- that's just like, the name of the world. It's not really ToS >__> I just had to chose a name with something involving music. So i chose Symphonia @__@

If you like RPGs you'll do yourself a favor and play it. It's a very good RPG.

Plus the art book is a nice bonus.


Really have no idea how you are going to pull this off as there aren't really any singing (except for maybe Boss 3, but that's no good). The thing that made Ar Tonelico great was the awsome music score.

Actually, main theme 5 and the Shrine theme is what i use to do cutscenes when the Songstresses actually sing. You might want to hear it >__< Oh, and here are the Songstresses bio's if anyone is wondering:

- Songstresses -

Name: Anastasia Vaytel Runelia
Age: 17
Song Weapon: Runelico
Description:
Alex's childhood friend and playmate when she moved to Midgard around 10 years ago. She lost her mother and father, and has no memory of what happened to them, some say it was because she was shocked from the death of her parents. Has a kind, cheerful, and optimistic attitude but at times she can be vary naive. She joined the Midgard Knights to help the elimination of Infel Contagia victims and her capabilities as a songstress exceed some of the other songstresses. Her main Song Magic elements are Fire, Wind, and Light. Her weapon, "Runelico" was in her possession ever since she moved to Midgard.

Name: Dorothy Almarth
Age: 19
Song Weapon: Hymnos
Description:
A cold and mysterious figure around the party originated from the desert town of Sveleria.. She met Alex and co. in the Troubadour Recital at the Music and Arts city of Troubadour. She and his partner broke bonds and later on she became Alex's partner instead. Strong willed, and wise, but sometimes can be hard-headed and haughty. She seems to hide a secret concerning the Song of Melodious and has some connections with Anastasia. Her main Song Magic elemnts are Water, Earth, and Darkness. Her weapon, "Hymnos" was given to her by her grandfather. The weapon itself acts as a resonation tool to further power her Song Magic.

Name: Cleya Infelawaath
Age: ???
Song Weapon: Platina
Description:
A soul possessing Anastasia after an Infel Contagia breakout. Soft-spoken and kind, and often gives advice to Anastasia. She can mainly control Anastasia's body and will if given the permission and she seems like she have absolute knowledge about the Hymns and Song Magic. She is also able to sing Song Magic while in Anastasia's body and it could take effect. She is unplayable at the most part of the game, but will be playable later on after Anastasia frees her from her body. Cleya's Song Magic main elements are Light, Darkness, and Elemental. Her weapon, "Platina" can be summoned at any times when she summons it with Song Magic. It is unknown where the sword originally came from.

So... in total there are three songstresses and plus 5 battle characters, so there are 8 PC in my game. Mainly, at some part of the game you will have to bring important characters into your party like say 2 people including the main character. The remaining spot can be any character, though the remaining character won't affect the story nor they would talk, so they only hep to fight. I'll add the 5 other characters bio later. Thank you~ ^^
