Original Dream Quest
Intro:
I love rpg's! Well who doesn't? And one of the all time greatest rpg's ever made has to be Final Fantasy 2! This game rocks, and so I decided to create a Final Fantasy type rpg for the PC. I still don't know why no one has ever made a final fantasy type rpg for the PC I still don't get it, anyways this is why I am making this! This was our Enix Game Competition entry.
The Game:
This was my second RPG I ever developed and I started it way back when I was in Highschool. I didn't get very far, but I learned a lot of valuable things. Such as how to make a simple map editor, and how this speeds up development. Working with palettes was a pain in the ass.
What's done so far...
* I have almost implemented everything except for the battle system so here's a list
* Scrolling Engine
* Charactors fully interactable
* Game Editor
* Weapon Shops
* Item Shops
* Animated Tiles
* Awesome Pop up windows
* Music (although this seems to make it crash on some people's computers)
* Awesome Intro! (looks just like FFV!)
* Equipment, Items, Status
* Collision Detection
