VRPG

[Aileron]

First off, there's no option for class skills. The only things that can be restricted by class are equipable items and spells, and there isn't even an option for "skills" in this game. Now, I could make class-specific spells, and furthermore p!@#$%^&* off class skills as "spells". However, the only thing I can make a spell do is cause HP damage. Considering that every spell requires its own .gif file, I'd rather not make class specific spells as that would involve loading up the server with a bunch of different spells that all do pretty much the same thing.

 

I will admit that the lack of skills would almost entirely defeat the point of the Thief tree. I just wanted an excuse to put pirates and ninjas in the game.

 

I think "peasant" would be too general. Players will want to start off with atleast something to work with.

 

There are only three rewards I can put for a new class:

access to items

access to spells

one-time stats bonuses

 

There will probably be swords restricted to Knight+ and guns restricted to Merc+.

 

I really shouldn't have put numbers there for levels...I haven't even thought about stats yet, so I don't know if max level will be 20, 40, or 100, or frankly what those numbers will end up being, so I just wrote numbers down. The end result will be spaced out enough.

 

 

In something more along the lines of the present, I'm starting to add some graphics to the game. So far, 5 swords and 5 belts have been added, which are in the shop. My intention here wasn't for balance but just to start adding something. Check it out if you want to laugh at my terrible artistic ability, or atleast at Superman's Shorts.

Im not sure what relevance this will have to subspace, if i want to play a game with swords and what not, there are 10billion other places to do it.

[Aileron]

True, but this step was mostly about geting any images at all on the screen. The next matter however is finding out why I can't upload any more. Then, it'll be replacing the blank images that should be there but aren't, such as the HP bar, and the "no item" image. After that, more Subspace-specific items will be added, though by that time I'm hoping I have one or two artists so I can focus on the settings and gameplay.

If you want to play an army forum game, theres are other places to do it too. Its just we have the race and weapon's name+gfx changed, whoopee.

 

If you dont mind stealing or ripping gfx from other games aile, you can do that =/

 

Well, I didn't really mean peasant class, but something like a basic class so theres not alot of different first classes. Like 2-3 First Class that branches out into a tree of 6-10 instead of having 5-6 first classes that just follows 1 single path.

 

Another thing you should try and do is to separate gils and points so they arent mixed up lol. Like I purposely made a SS Rpg account just so the gil amount in VRPG increase =p

 

Btw, equipping works now....only for those items that has a gfx lol

Tried to change the money to one of the other options, but all of them crashed.

 

I'm not stealing gfx from another game. End of story. Subspace gfx will be used though.

[Sound]

Cough stealing gfx from subspace cough

[Smarties]

Sigh im already addicted to this game and theres still so many horrible problems wrong with it, but if its addicting when theres a million things still not finished yet, gg 5-0

[Aileron]

It's a Subspace themed RPG...I've added an example in the form of a new scene. I've deleted the other scenes, because they don't work. The new one also sucks. Its too wide, and my art ability is terrible.

 

Among the black sands of the Desert of Metal, lies Sigma Outpost, a small spaceport which services trade ships traveling from the TW to EG systems. While the installation is highly functional, the view leaves something to be desired. Just red sky and black sand for as far as the eye can see. However, on a night where the weather is clear and free of sandstorms, you might get a glimpse of the infamous "Red" and "Blue" bases several miles away over the north wall, where two local unnamed factions have been fighting a vicious blood-fued for generations. When either of the participants are asked why they are fighting, their only response involves a machine called the "Metal Gear", but no details beyond that are known to outsiders. Space-faring travellers are advised to stear clear of these groups, lest they become drawn in to the fighting.

 

Now it should be obvious from the image that I incorporated several aspects of Metal Gear's graphics into the image...but that wouldn't be stealing because the intent of the image is to portray something that represents than particular zone. Without those elements, the image just wouldn't be a proper portrayal.

one question though aileron, i cant seem to figure out why the !@#$%^&* i cant feed my pet biscuits, nono master i dont like it! so how does this work? how can i heal my pets HP? i got him to eat it once after a few tries, but never again, after many tries

[Aileron]

Don't ask me these kinds of questions. The game is described as Beta, and I think that's an exaggeration.

 

It's not working because its not working.

[Suicide_Run]

Problem: Exp bar is pretty much screwed up. Instead of the bar increasing when you get more exp, it shrinks. So 0% = Full Bar and 100% = No Bar

 

Smarties, you must have nothing to do except sit in front of a comp for hours clicking Attack in the battle screen, then when you win, you use a potion on yourself then battling again. When you run out of potions, you just buy more using the gils/pts you get from SS Rpg. I dunno how you can be addicted to doing that but kudos to you.

 

For those who dont know how to kill the current bots with the current settings. You gotta buy a pet and equip items, since pet's HP seems to stack on top of your.

[Aileron]

Yeah, I noticed that when I put it in, but don't think I can fix that.

 

Look, its clear the game isn't finished and we're just making you guys Beta test...does anyone want me to take it down until its finished?

[JDS]

so what next year? yea go ahead take it down untill then

[Smarties]

i know that the vrpg is going to reset, but if im test playing this on a beta version, then yes im going to take advantage of the ssrpg gil and i only spent maybe 20 minutes clicking attack while i was rolling a joint, dont even need to use potions now, stopped fighting bots my own level when i realized the exp is same for all bots

[Aileron]

I've downloaded all of the default images to my hard drive. None of the items have a Subspace theme and most aren't origional, so they won't be used.

 

However, the default and functional life/mp bars have been uploaded.

 

Included with the download were some "world map" files. That missing link turns out to be a very important part of this game, because it actually is more than a picture-it contains everything needed to make dungeons and quests - I think.

[Suicide_Run]

You might want to remove ur own exp/hp/mp bar cause it looks weird if u have your own + the originals lol

[Aileron]

Um...I did....the first time...and double checked for bad graphics... Two questions: 'What are you smoking?' and 'Can I have some too?'

[Synister]

really glitchy..

also.. i made a dark wizard and have no idea how to use a spell.. really confusing

[Suicide_Run]

It probably take a while for the old gfx to be removed aile. Cause now i dont see the old ones but when i posted last time, i still saw them.

 

Synister, you gotta buy the spell from the shop first. Then go to your RPG Controls, and Learn the spell.

[Sound]

Yeah i dont know how im supposed to kill anything. The first bot has 20 atk and 20 def, and best i got was like 23 attack 9 def o_O i lose =o

Couldn't even equip a weapon.

[JDS]

rasta sup, go on msn

[Suicide_Run]

Sound, read my previous posts. Buy a pet, make it active. Buy a sword and ring since you can equip those because they have a picture. With those stuff, you will have more than enough power to kill the first bot lol

[JDS]

yo suicide run, i dont recall you giving this much attention to SSRPG, is it ok to work with aileron now? but not then?

[Smarties]

i have maybe 180 strength n all being a gunner, i can one hit KO 7 of the bots, 2 more to go

[Aileron]

I haven't even begun to try to balance the settings, so yeah, the invisible dog is overpowered.
