Sonic RPG Demo #3 Completed!

I can't play it, due to the fact when the talking (with tails) is done, sonic just keeps moving into a direction, and when I press a key he keeps moving into the same direction, and then I get stuck.

 

When tails sais:
"Be careful sonic"
and stops talking.
One time he walking in the direction of the door, then (in the second room) he kept walking in the same direction, so sonic made it to the third room, but after the item box, when you probably should walk down, sonic keeps moving into the same direction (up) which makes it impossible to get there.

I'm gonna try the game to on my laptop, to see if it works there.

 

Screenshots would be nice. I dislike downloading something without even knowing what I'm about to see.

 

If you got any controllers, steering-wheel-thingies etc. plugged in, you may wanna consider removing them from your PC when playing an RPG-Maker game, that should normally solve the problem.

 

I'm still downloading but from these screenshots I'm pretty sure I've got a good impression of the visual style of the game.

It's clearly a mess and I'm not sure if you're just using place holder art at the moment or if you're really going to go to use those tile sets. If you are then this is going to be one ugly game from start to finish.

Which is a shame because the battle background, despite looking like a pop up book, actually looks nice. If the rest of the game used a similar art style I'm sure it'll help the overall presentation.

Now as for the game itself, I mu- holy shit



From a foreign language installation, a broken manual shortcut to a broken whatever. That thing just popped up endlessly.

 

The Chaotix RPG was better.

 

I... oh dear.
It doesn't even work for me but from what I'm seeing here, this doesn't seem like the kind of game I'd enjoy.
Why put Sonic in an RPG anyway? Sonic games are certainly not notorious for brilliant storytelling, and what part of it would have at least slightly Sonic-ish gameplay? Oh, I see the "blue Sphere in the first post.
Is that some kind of Giant Sonic/Miniture level city?
And to be honest, the Sonic artwork in the big advert-type-thing in the first post looks pretty terrible.
Sorry I probably sound really mean here, but it seems to be the opposite of what I look for in a Sonic game.

 

Haha, what? High expectations over an RPG Maker game? Really?

 

If you're talking to me, this is the first I've heard of RPG maker, and I'll assume, without looking it up, that there are thousands of awful pokemon fangames?

 

There's probably more awful generic RPGs and RPGs that try to be "meta" by endlessly pointing out RPG tropes, but the availiability of a comprehensive and easy-to-use Pokémon kit for RPG Maker XP doesn't help on that aspect either.

 

Don't forget the thousands of shitty FF7 remakes/sequels/spinoffs.

 

Yeah why not? I've seen some people use rpg maker well, including myself, and I think my rpg has used its full potential and is still improving.
You can do some amazing things with rpg maker 2003, But I don't think this rpg has used its full potential... shame, it could really be a good rpg.

 

That was a legitimately unpleasant experience. I pushed all the way through Chapter 3 thinking that things would improve, and I thoroughly regret doing so. Here's why...

1) Dungeons were uninspired, boring, and extremely repetitive.
2) Player and enemy abilities barely draw from the Sonic universe. Instead everyone uses default RPG Maker attacks like Fire, Ice, Bolt, etc.
3) The storyline is basically Sonic X but with crappier dialogue, and Sonic X wasn't all that hot to start with.

There's very little original or creative content here. The story, graphics, and animations are all lifted from other media or included within RPG Maker itself. You've chosen quantity > quality, and the end result left me bored and unstimulated. If I were you, I'd scrap the project and start fresh. But before you do, play some more RPG titles and pay attention to what makes them fun/engaging.

 

This. Although might sound a little harsh, I think there were some home truths here. When I saw this rpg, I did have high expectations myself but was disapointed. I hope if you continue this, that you take these not as harsh remarks, but more as contrustive criticism and, so you know how you may improve. And perhaps you should try and do a custum battle system to make the battle even better.

 

That's a rather self-indulgent claim to m-

Wait, what?

Oh, well that suc-

...what? Too many contradictions.

This looks rather trashy. Ick.

 

1) I'm not boasting about my rpg, I am only going from what people have told me. My rpg is not perfect, but it has potential.
2) The 'yeah I know its crappy' is in my sig. basically saying what it sais, the sig is crappy. what don't you get about that ? =P
3) I am mearly stating, comparing my rpg as an example of how he could use rpg maker's full potential. I'm not trying to be a prick or anything, thats not my Idea at all.
Heck, I'd even help him with it if he wants. And if anyone wants to see rpg vids of mine check my youtube channel.

 

Fun fact: Even bioware, the king of non japanese RPGs, can't make a good Sonic RPG. It's impossible :|
