I've just discovered this game and I have to say that it looks awesome. Nice graphics, cute characters, and deep gameplay. Congratulations. I will follow it
The thing I love the most about this game is that it features something that the Pokemon titles never include (and should): character customization. I'll get this game as soon as it hits the AppStore, for sure!
Oh.. Sorry lol. I thought I saw July. This game is the most anticipated game in my life.... Your encouraging me to create my own iphone games. I want to be like you so bad
Wow. That's very kind and inspiring words. That is why I make games, I want to inspire others. jirayasama I can't put a % value on completion to version 1.0 release. The game is not so straight forward. Because of the nature of the type of RPG it's always expanding and improving as it develops. The game's engine also gets refined more and more too. I still have 2 key features to code. Most of the story and side quests need to be coded too. I have lots of maps to do. There really is lots that need to be done. I just need to focus and manage my workload to get it done as quick as possible.
Im sorry if this has been asked before, but are there items in the games like hidden around fields and such as in Pokemon?
to the developer: I think the game you're making - and games like it - are important. I think that for a lot of people, buying a Nintendo system is motivated mostly by nostalgia. We want our Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, etc - and we buy the 3DS because there's no real alternative. Too many native iOS games are been purely casual, and not worth the kind of hours that people would otherwise dump into a Pokemon game. I have been following this thread (and others like OceanHorn) in the hopes that we finally get something that's good enough to leave the extra device behind. So here's hoping. Looks good so far
Thanks. But I'm 13 lol and im (hopefully) trying to make one over the summer but my parents think its a 1. waste of my time 2. very risk taking and 3. too much money. (have to buy macbooks and ipod/pads.) If i can't do that... i'll just have the pleasure of playing other people's games.
I've sent you a PM popblanks. You should start off small. Check out tools like RPG Maker and Game Maker. Those type of tools will help you on your journey of becoming a game developer. I used to make fan games when I was 15 and onwards. I loved it. - - - Any ways, I just posted a blog on my Tumblr (again- it's a development blog and not a personal blog with me posting random stuff). I talked about the improvements I've made to the engine and map debugging. Click this link if you want to read it: http://neodragoncp.tumblr.com/ Screenshot taken from the blog post
Evolving When a zenform evolves does it gain anything extra like more sp or acsses to stronger attacks or does it just gain a new design? Bty can't wait for the game it looks awesome cannot wait for the game to come out. Maybe you could release the game early and fix stuff in future updates?
I'd prefer to wait for the game to come out when Neo-Dragon is done and happy with it, I wouldn't want to play a buggy version just so it can come out a month early. The wait will be worth it.
I'm glad you decided to use the stars for the game. How do you like Persona? P3 & 4 are some of my favorite games EVER. They did so many things right in what could've turned into a typical rpg. Let's hope your game also breaks the average pokemon mold
@L.Lawliet : P4 is becoming my fav. JRPG of all time. It's very good. To everyone. Don't forget when the app is released - it won't be my "full vision" for the game. Version 1.0 will have about 25% of the outdoor maps and only part of the story and quests. With free updates (free if you bought the game, just log into the app store and download the app update), more maps, more story and more content overall will be added. My goal is to get the community to help shape the game. The feedback I get from the fans will judge the direction of the game and the features added. I just posted this update on the CP forum and I really wanted to share it with you guys. I've tried to wait a full week before I put an update up. I think I might try make updates weekly. That will help keep you all informed and make me want to work on something interesting for you all to read about. Before I begin the update I got sent a message asking me how come some screenshots are tinted red or orange. Just to remind everyone seeing this update - the game has a day/night cycle. Some screenshots are taken at different times. Morning and dusk has red/orange tints and it gets darker at night to a very dark blue tint. Any ways .... So this week I've been building up all of the events for the hometown. This includes creating the NPCs on maps (both outside and indoors), creating storyline events, and creating quests for the area. I showed off a screenshot on the CP Facebook page earlier this week that is part of the early story in the game. It showed a choice presented to the player to reply to Keith about how well he looked in the uniform. This choice was the first choice that could change your moral. Tip box explaining the moral system Your moral can be positive or negative. You can view it in the Journal App when you get your PCom. Depending on the value of it may change what happens in the storyline and what others say to you. Another thing I worked on is something I debated on posting because I don't think it will be in Version 1.0 but it is something I'd like to explore with an update. You can read between the lines with this screenshot This screenshot also shows I've made some changes to the graphics. Shadows are now black instead of grey. It fixes the bad look grey shadows had on a black or dark surface. I like the shadows darker now. Makes the game tiles look more vibrant because it contrasts the black. That's it for this week. I can't show off too much from the story or quests cause it will spoil it for you since this is all in the first area you will experience. This last screenshot is both Keith and the player walking to school on their first day lol.
It would be awesome if shadows were on the west in the morning almost nonexistent at midday and on the east in the evening
The game is looking great no complaints I think it will quickly become one of the top apps If you are looking for some ideas I think some time in the future you should definitely come out with some rare zenforms that differ from the 3 newborn branches but I also think they should not be easy to find you would have to be very lucky that way not everyone will have one and it will keep people interested and determined to find one also further in the future new elements and I know that you buy moves with sp but are certain moves not going to be available until your zenform is more experienced?
