i know this my first rpg and i'm probably pushing but this just too help me out when i actaully make it. i'm not making this right now and i'm gonna read some tuts and run tests on dark basic. but in the mean time i need tips.

this is what i need:

i need good tuts on:
battle between charecter and monster
camera movement
i'm working on the story line (which is going really great)
i need some awsome mythical text (like in zelda)
and i also need help on how to create the charecters and enemies
oh, i almost forgot... i need good names for charecters
lastly i need links to find sfx and awsome adventure and battle music

i also need to see if my story line could use some help. i've been planning this game for like 2 months now.

well here it is:

a legend tells of a far away galaxy where their are are 2 planets. still in the medeivel time, they both are very powerful with magic and witchcraft. they circle around each. on one planet called multar.there are humans and animals just like ours called. and the other, called zultar, has orcs, goblins, elfs, and other mythical creature. yet however both fight for a powerful force from the gods of zorek. Zorek is the multarian word for trinity. but to earn this power they must find 3 weopons and place it somehwere unknown with in the void space inbetween the 2 planets. to gain access to this place one must find these 3 weopens and use them in certain way which will be learned once these weopons are found. but there are some beings out there willing to use this power for evil. yet who ever finds is "the chosen one". he must must figth many battles encounter unseen monsters and face challenging and life thretning quests to earn the power and stop this war.

-then you see the charecter waking up from a long sleep-

well that was it. i sort of got alot of ideas from zelda. if youj have any thign you wana tell me or you wanna add anything just post it.

thanks.

all for me and non for all!!!

~edit~ Here is a coding tut a mod made. http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=99497&b=10

Pretty cool But.... If this is your FIRST attempt at a project, do NOT do an rpg. I haven't worked with dark basic yet. I have worked a bit with BYOND (It has similar code) and other game makers. I tried making a rpg right off the bat on BYOND and I got totalled lol. It is best to learn the code first, create small games, like solitair, or other little things. Then, when you are confident, work on a rpg. A rpg will take you (if you are planning on making a relatively good one, and if you don't want it to look like crap, and if it is your first project) like 2 years... at least. Your best bet, if your adamant at making an rpg. Would be to start off making very small things, then slowly adding on.

Also, you would want to clarify why the hero is waking from a long slumber, and why this message has been bestowed upon him. Maybe you could start it where he is running erands for someone, then sees a path he has never seen before in the forest; He goes through the path and finds himself at a house. It looks vacant at first glance, and somewhat woebegone. He enters it, and finds someone living there. they tell him of the legend, and maybe he hears an explosion, looks away, looks back he is outside of the house. But its gone (this is all cliche' I know lol) so he goes back to his village to find it destroyed by people. (he finds out later were after the weapons)

Or, have it where he is visited by someone in a dream, and they tell him all of this, so he goes off to look for the weaps or something.

Nonetheless, I, and 99% of the people here will tell you not to endeavor in a rpg the first time you try and make something. It isn't very smart

As for the name help and stuff... I can help you with it. I am in the process of writing a book, and have made two rpgs on rpg maker for the playstation, so I have a lot of names of people, areas, and anything else ya need. Though, if you use any I have to be credited. Also, your intro is cool, and you have a good idea, but it could touched up a little, so if you want I can help you make the intro better as well.

Bottom line though, I wouldn't start a rpg. I would go with little games, like ones on pogo, or simulation games, to get the hang of the coding first. If you still want to do something rpgish. Make a battle simulator thing. Where you battle a monster, and after each battle gain a level, and you can raise diff stats. And just make it repeat till ya die. That wouldn't use a ton of code, and it wouldn't be too grueling to make.

~edit~ Also lol... read this. http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=116024&b=10

Errr...good idea, but if you've never programmed before, you're getting WAY in over your head!
Also, you should start out with either 2D or something really simple in 3D. I actualy found 3D a lot easier than 2D for some reason, but anyway you NEED TO START OUT WITH SOMETHING SIMPLE!!!
RPGs are really hard to make, and without good knowledge of programming it will frustrate you. Please learn the simple stuff first!

Yeah, you will be overwhelmed if ya start with a rpg.

my idea for a starter game, after I take the class is listed here. http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=121196&b=10

I got good feedback for it I am not way over my head in it, and I will have some info on it all ready, being as I am taking a class in game dev soon.

Yeah, an RPG is too big to start up with. My first game (unfinished) was loosely based around communicating with the computer using the print and input commands.

On an unrelated note, is "Zorek" the alien guy from Space Ghost?

Hey - great advice - I'm glad you didn't start with I'm making an aweomse MMORPG and I need Artists and programmers... I'm glad you are ready to start hitting the books... and there is no shame about a pong game or space invaders, or even a mario bros/donkey kong like ghame... Sometimes we tease and joke (i admittedly do) about these.. but I personalyl always respect ANY game I can dl, open, run, play, get bored, and close.. and be like ... What a well behaved program" you MUCH extra points for Fun Factor naturally! Go to it man! ... Who is it... always signs off (its perfect but I don't want to steal his sign off but you need to hear it)

I know... Through Portal Keys left by the ancients - but you have to be pretty high up in stats $$ whatever to beable to use/aquire them.

asteroids,or pong would be a great first game to do. then once you get the hang of things you can jump into doing games that require more coding and stuff like tetris - tetris appears simple , but it can actually be a challenging program to make.

I think asteroids is actually pretty hard considering the rotation and firing. Pong is by far the easiest and will get you thinking like a programmer Try making it without using sprites.

its actually easier to make a 3d game than a 2d game with dbc.
rotating and firing routines are pretty easy to make :

Oh, and to add a little more onto Bluestar4's post about tetris. Yeah, tetris would be quite hard, I mean, not really later, but if you don't know algebra or coding well it would be. In order to turn the blocks you need to do multiplicitave inverses of matricies, that's how it gets rotated.
[0 1]
[1 0] Multiply this by the matrix of points to reflect it on the y-axis. (the other matrix I referred to is when you put a series of points you got from your equation, or the graph, and place them into a matrix)

Example... I will do a triangle.
(0,2) (10,2) (4,6)

Matrix form

[0 10 4]
[2 2 6]

I don't know how you would code that, but yeah :p (I learned about this in my accelerated algebra 2 class)

adding too story line

after you here the legend you you find the guy dreaming:

***you see the charecter falling in a dark abyss and you here your name being called***

nathan!!!nathan!!! ***you wake up*** "hehe you finally woke up" it's you sister jill," and why are you sweating? oh well cmon... mom needs to do you her a favor go to her and see what she wants.

on your way you start to think of teh weird dream you had and you think it might mean something.

you see your mother

"oh hello nathan i need you to go to deliver this package to your uncle on the other side of the island. it has some of my soup that can replenish and strengthen anything and i don't want you to mess it up. i'm sending this cause your uncle is sick and tired so please hurry. and it also has something else in it but it's a secrete between me your uncle and I so don't open it."

as you are walking to the other side you start to walk into the forest path and you start to remember to never stay off the path. then you see this little ttrinket 3 yards away from teh path and you decide to go get it cause it's a short distance from you. so you get it and as soon as you touch it a blinding flash of light comes from no where and you find yourself in front of a castle. still recovering from teh light you find out that this is zorek castle. one of the 3 castles on multar (it's a small planet). and you then you here a calming female voice in you head and it's saying "go to the highest tower... go to the highest tower..."

***then you,controlling the charecter, goes up to the north tower***

once you get there you see the princess of zorek castle. her name is princess mary and as soon as you enter the princess turns around and says," you have arrived"
looking all puzzled you say," you have called me"
she says," yes i have, i need you to do a little fuest for me"
"i was already in the middle of an errand for my mother"
"yes, i know. do you still have that package she gave you?"
"yes"
"open it"
"why, i was told not to open it'
just open it"

you open the mackage ad you see a bottle of your mother's soup and you also find a sword.

you say," wow, no wonder my mother told me not to open it"
i need you to do something for me. but first i must tell you someting"
"yes, your higness?"
"have you heard of teh zorek?"
i've heard of zorek castle and i know it means trinity"
"yes but have you heard of THE zorek"
"i don't understand"
"the sorek is a powerful force that can be used by any being and makes him almost immortal."
"huh, ALMOST immortal?"
"yes, he can die of age but he lives alot longer than normal and he can be unstoppable. but still die of age"
"oh, i see"
"and you obviously know of zultar and it's inhabitants"
"yes"
"but do you know of the evil over lord, daker who lives thier"
"i've heard stories of him being destroyed by a powerful worrior and i also know that dakar mean evil ruler"
"yes tha's right, but i'm afraid that he has returned. you see that powerful worrior used the zorek to defeat him. then once he died of age the zorek was moved to some unkown location-"
sorry to inturupt but how come the worrior died but dakar didn't"
"daker was frozen for over 1,000 years now but his minions, the uglies live on and i think they have acheived of freeing him from his prison."
"oh"
"so any way i..."

***she tells you of the legend***

"you must not let him gain the the power of the zorek and save our world. so plz go do this task that i have given you."
"ok, just one problem. i'm not a knightin shining armour. and i barely even know how to use a sword"
"first before i answer your question hold out your hand and let me see your wrist"

***you hold out your hand and she points out your birth mark on your wrist that looks like 3 circles over lapping eachother(sort of like the trinity church they are more connected then over lapped***

you say," why did you point out my birth mark"
"this is not just any birthmark, this is the birth mark of a hero. a hero who has been destined to save our world and defeat daker. and i have schegueled some lessons for you with our swords master"
"yes but how am i supposed to acheive this"
"you willfind out once you have learned to master the sword."

***more coming soon***

good story line huh?
i made that up as i went along.

i'm working on this picture that will show you the 3 weopens on the birth mark symbol. but since the best program i have is paint it won't look so good. i sort of got some of the story form "the princess and the curdie" we're reading it in english class and it's a realy god story. it's only like 34 pages.and i also got the "uglies" from curdie too.

if you have any comments plz post and plz try to give me some ideas
and still looking for tuts and 3D modeling and landscping programs

thanks,
Zorek

p.s. thanks to all who gave me ideas especially to enigma and by the way enigma the dream is forshadowing something.

all for me and non for all!!!

Need tuts? No problem!!
Here's oneBe sure to go to the area that says Tutorials!
Here's another
It's for learning how to make a race track in Blender 3D.

Here's another

And you can always do google searches you know! You'll get results very fast that way.
And just so you know, Anim8or is a free 3d modeler perfect for beginners. If you learn enough and need something more advanced, Blender 3D is perfect!

Zorek: I know you said you were going to learn it first, but just to make sure, it isn't good, even if you go through a manuel to start off makin a rpg. You seem to have things planned out though, pretty cool.

Nice story so far I am working on writing a book meself, I may just post the first chapter up in here soon.

Quote: "ya i know that but i want start this game for a hile and bsides i'm only in pre-alg and i'm still learning C++"


by the way I meant the algebra part for the tetris game. You can code with only being in algebra 1, but yeah, algebra does help.

I personally never had algebra in school - and I've always managed just fine - but since coding in 3d - I find myself in areas from Algebra to Calculus.... and some I get - some eludes me - all I use though

Like usual I have to say that I disagree with most here. My advice is to start as big as possible, that way if you finish you can applaud yourself; but if you fail (and you may), you'll be able to better understand just what exactly goes into a project so you can make more realistic goals the next time.

it's not for the rpg it's too learn the program.

thanks.

but here aren't any comments on my new stroy line

yadaman: thanks for the tuts and i also downloaded blender so it'll really help.

Quote: "I personally never had algebra in school "


really? lucky!!!

thanks for the advice but i still think i should learn the program first.

by the way i'm gonna make a pic of the 3 weopens and the birth mark on paint (i don't have annything else to use)

oh and can some one get me some awsome looking foreign text like the one in zelda.

and i just realized that i put darek for the over lord's name. it's not that good really so can someone get me a good name??? you really don't have to though. and i also reaized that i subconciesly copied zultar from the sweet life of zack and cody. the episode where zack gets upsessed with this online game.

p.s. i know this shouldn't belong in the forum but has any one heard of robocode. i just downloaded it and i wnat to figure out how to use it. and jave language is sort of the same as DB. so if you got any info on that plz tel me.

new dream added to the story line:

instead of having him fall in a black abyss out of now where you find him fighting the last boss in temple on an asteroid where the power of the zorek can be obtained . then he gets pushed bu the over lord and starts falling in a black abyss (space) sufficating.

the reason he can breath on the asteroid is that if you are in the presence of the zorek you have the ability to do different things... and it makes you stronger.

so ya.

thanks,
zorek

You missinterperated what I said, I meant it isn't good to start off making a rpg even if you use a manuel to learn the coding. I wasn't correlating the manuel to the rpg making, just that an rpg shouldn't quite be first.

As for the names...

Aldrian Kain (full name is.... Draveyin Volerous Aldrian Kain. He is in that book I am writing.

Isdarian varrd'nair

Miovsk'tal (miOefsk eh tall) <---- pronounciation

Dalmoar viken

Silpher

Kazus

Xane -Xander, full first name- Crefore

(for the woman)

Scythia Orellena

Artomy Xephon

Schala Veaden

Naomi (I know, blandish lol)

Idk, if you want more I can get some more.

....Or, you will be overwhelmed with the complexity of it all, and the insurmountable project you tried to ignorantly take on and not want to do it anymore because it makes it seem grueling, tedious, and hard. That is what the majority of people would do. I myself would not, I am a very perssistant person, but not everyone is.


As for your story Zorek, it is pretty cool. Got a good setting, a bad guy, a protaganist, possible love thingy, pretty nice. Though, there are spots you can delve a little bit more on. More background information, explain the characters more, touch up on the dialogue etc etc. I could help you with that if you want.

enigma: thanks for the name i'll definetly use them and i will give credit.

i'm gonna post the weopens and the birthmark this weekend.
not today because i have this big project due tomarrow and i have finals next week.

oh and soon enough this forum won't befor help it'll be too show off my game when i start to make it that is.

i'm think of making pong before this. i'm gonna use TDK's tutorial. but i'm gonna add storyline to it. it'll be based on my school'd internet system. it blocks EVERYTHING!!!!!! so i'm gonna make a pong charecter called bob and he tries to break through the school's firewall and destroy it so anyone can use it. so there will be boss battles minigames, classic pong modern pong, and more.
i'm thinking of makeing the last boss like this giant pong dude and he can shoot fire balls at you and you use this water vall (like the original ball in pong) and you have too get it past him too put away the firewall.

but i'm still woking on Zorek.

picture coming soon.

i still need landscaping tuts and i forget the text thing but if you laready started on that go ahead and continue.

thanks,
zorek

thanks for the tip and i could use some help.

p.s. sorry for all the posts again

all for me and non for all!!!

Did you rad the "Vista Problems" on the navigation menu? That should tell you about how to make it work on Vista. But it acts slightly strange on Vista.

Seriously, how do you make the little blue text come up below your message?

Zorek,
I have to somewhat aggree with uncle sam on some things he said in his post - when I first got a compiler some years back, I tried to do an rpg off the bat - I did start the project, and I did finish but due to my lack of experiance it had some serioius memory leaks whether you do a large or a small project and whether it suceeds or doesn't the result is that you will gain experiance with using the language. Ofcourse the bigger the project, the more experiance you'll gain but the key thing is that whether it works or not that the experiance you gain doing this project will impact your next project. I cant stress enough that no matter what your trying to accomplish that it is very important to remember that when something doesn't work quite right you haven't failed, but found another way that didn't work !

True Blue, but most people do not see it that way, so the majority of criticism people will get, will be that of not to start a huge project off the bat....Anyways, now back to topic

Shweet Thankies. I am glad to be of service.

Whoa, nice. I really like that pong idea, adds a little more flare to the basic hit the ball-esque thing And I like the whole breaking your school's firewall, I hate mine, it nearly blocks everything. I think the only reason it doesn't block this is because there is a video game development class in the school that uses dark basic.

Alas, I do not know of any robocode info or 3D modelling things.

For the help with the writing stuff: Can we send personall messages here? If so then on Monday (tonight or tomorrow if I have very good luck. I am at the school net right now, we are without net at my place, and may, may get it tonight or tomorrow.) I will send you a copy of all of that with revisions placed in (it will be like this, like notes, alternate sentence structures etc etc)

All hope is lost when one subjects to the malevolence of apathy. ~by me~
Trust in someone is a greater compliment than love. ~By me~

enigma: your welcome and thanks on the coment. about the help thing: thanks for being a bug help. and i guess its ok for the message thing.

bluestar4 and everyone else: i have posted this 3 times that am not starting this right off the bat. i repeat not right off the bat. isaid that i am gonna read tuts to learn the program then run tests to get used to this then do tha pong thingas an easy first project then i will start on this rpg.

by the way i've started on the pics for the weopens and the birth mark. but since i've already started on a title page i'll continue thatthen show everything seperate cause the title page has the three weopens and the birth mark.

this starting to be a big thread i hope i get over 50 posts so this can be a popular thread. but i doubt it. and the same time you never know.

all for me and non for all!!!

i decided to change the spell of Zorek. from Zorek too Xorek. it looks weird but think of xylophone (i think i spelled it wrong)

ok here's the actual pictures of the game i messed upped alot and it's done on paint so it won't look so good.

obvously the wand the bow and the sword are the 3 weopens and each are gonna have writing on it but I'M STILL WAITING FORE THAT TEXT

weopon names:

wand: wand of whimzy
bow: bow of storms
sword: sword of Xorek

notice the Xorek mark on each of the weopens

the birth mark is that thing with 3 circles

and those 3 circle things with the symbols are the 3 orbs that you need to collect after you collect the 3 weopens to activate the portal that will takes you to the location to were you can find the power of the Xorek

the black one is supposed to look like wind the red ones supposed to look like fire nad the blue one is just supposed to look good.

plz send comments and i need that text oh and fofrget the title page.

Zorek,
thanks

all for me and non for all!!!

i forgot to say tha the bow has a circle in it because it like makes it's own arrows therefore it has unlimited arrows.
i got the idea from that angel dude named pit. i know he's in super smash bros. brawl i don't know if he's in anything else. and the arrows it shoots has lighiting on the tip and then when it shoots it shoots out streams of lighiting and it affects enemies that are near by targets.

Follow these steps to get it working in vista.
1. Right click on Anim8or on your desktop.
2. Press "Properties"
3. Go to the "Compatibility" tab
4. Check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for..." if it has not already been checked
5. Select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" from the drop down menu.
6. Press "Apply," and Anim8or should be working.

Seriously, how do you make the little blue text come up below your message?

and i got those pictures in like 2 posts back and only 7 more points til that 50 mark and i get a poopular post WOOT WOOT!!!!


and i'm still looking for the text or else i can't finish those weopens cause without the text they are unfinished.

I have trouble with easy hand also .
Use the eggplant tutorial. Also, if you're not newbie slapped anymore, edit your post instead of double posting.

Seriously, how do you make the little blue text come up below your message?
