Looks like some serious business. Have you tried moving it to a different folder and using a different RPG_RT.exe? That's all I can think of. It's centered around the RPG_RT, it seems.

I don't really like posting screenshots, but it's been a while and I like how this area turned out.

Since I don't have school to keep me busy, production speed has increased by a lot. I was able to get most of this done this morning.

A fangame in active development? Heresy!
Though seriously this looks awesome and I'll play it when the runtime finishes downloading which is right now

There's a couple issues with the mapping. Namely, you can walk off the side of the road into the abyss on the left side, and the right side of the next screen has a tile (third sidewalk block from the corner) where you can stand on the roof.

Yay i love Silent Hill.

Anyway i played what little there is a while back and i thought i'd share some thoughts.
First of all, i like the colors in the game. However, a bit more diversity in this department wouldn't hurt. I counted no more than 3 colors on my screen (not counting main char) a bit too often for my liking. The graphics are great otherwise, mapping likewise, apart from the "large map syndrome" sometimes.

Music… is forgettable. Like in most fg's really, so i wouldn't get too sad about it.

I'd drop the meme jokes too, feels really out of place. Some might like it, i don't. Makes it feel unprofessional and i can't say it's funny.

This post probably felt more negative than i intended so i'll just end it with that it's great so far for a first demo.

Thanks for the feedback. There's so little in this version that I don't even want to call it a demo, haha. Right now, I've made the buildings much better along with adding a few more colors to them. The meme joke I just felt like throwing in there last minute, but didn't intend to leave it there. I also don't really want to do anything with the music in the current areas because the areas themselves are nothing too special. I might change the title theme though.

Thanks again and I'm hoping you guys will give me even more feedback when I release the 'full' demo.

I want to take a little bit of time to talk about this game on my site, if you don't mind (I still think it's too early for review, but I played the update and I feel I should share my thoughts.)

Instead of taking a long break from the game like I had planned, I was hit with sudden inspiration and I am now working on a new world aha. It's called Roads and Rivers, this place is where the 'Nostalgia' BGM comes in.

Anyway, this picture is concept art for another area (not the one that I was just talking about).

Spent a few minutes to event the save system into the game. By default, Eun can save the game at her desktop computer; though she can take a diskette with her and save the game at any computer that accepts 5.25 inch diskettes.

It's really the most appropriate system, seeing as the game takes place during a PC boom and I figure that, as a computer enthusiast, Eun would use them as save devices. It's not a graphical system by any means; the most popular Operating System is the Delmunsoft CCP/M (Consumer Command Program for Microcomputers, a not-so-subtle shout out to the Control Program/Monitor for intel 8080-based computers and some 16 bit machines in the 1980s.) It's like a combination of CP/M, DOS, and NEC Basic.

Here's the thread I'm talking about, in which the creator didn't consider their game a Fangame, but it got moved from /og/ to /fg/ regardless.

>>1713


Here's a game that while definitely inspired in part by Yume Nikki, seems a bit less like a Yume Nikki "Fangame", at least not in the way the term is usually used around here.

I don't really care if this thread stays in /fg/ or gets moved to /og/ in the end, though. I just hope it doesn't get deleted.

I'm also adding a sound mode in the form of collectable diskettes that can play music back on your computer. It's not music from the game, it's actually music made specifically for you to collect.

To make it, I'm using TFM Music Maker. The reason being that the TFM software emulates the TurboSound FM sound module, which is 2 YM2203s (two OPN chips, which were used in the PC-8801 and PC-9801).

> saving using diskette
Sounds like a cool way to save. Are we gonna find out what Eun is saving on the diskette (I'm guessing a diary of sorts [uninternational reference])?

>>5507
> collecting non-BGM music
I think I get over-hyped for the strangest things, but collecting music which doesn't actually play anywhere else in the game sounds like some pretty sweet collectables.

Middens was basically chased off the board after the thread turned into an all out war between Collage lovers and haters.

The other project looks horrendous and abandoned and I'd boot it to /ot/ the second I saw it if I was a mod then (also, note that mods didn't have the ability to move around threads until recently).

>>5507 I approve of this.

Huh, wonder if the download was stopping before reaching 100%, or something. Good you got it working, in any case.

I'm looking forward to reading your review by the way, even if it doesn't sound like you're looking forward to writing it, hehe.

There's some good things and some bad things. I'll put my review up later.

i would totally get applocale and 7zip if i wasn't on a mac

so i've tried running some things with wine, but every fangame i've tried gives me a direct draw error (pictured)
and ultra violet still gives me the filename errors

could someone be so kind and upload their files with the correct names and everything?

i don't seem to be getting a miracle like Mishka did and i really do want to play this game

Review'd.
Definitely one of the better fangames, and probably the best Japanese one.

Since i have been totally free of responsibilities these last 3 weeks progress has been going fast. I probably sat at least 4 hours a day with the game.
Spriting really is a timesink though. I would probably be done with this game in half the time without it.

So yeah, new version. Lots of small stuff added, and actual story progession. Also, i added a end to the "demo" so that you'll know when you've done all the story stuff (it's a door that says you're done).
I probably won't be as free in the next month, so don't expect another release in a while.

Do with it as you will:

Finally got to play the new version. Good thing too, because I was bored as heck.

Glitches (if you haven't found them yet):
- 1. (pictured) There are two passabillity glitches in this room (noted by the red boxes).
- 2. When you use the wooden cross, the "giant frog" seems to just turn invisible, and you still can't enter the space he was in (as if he was still there).
- 3. When you use the warp that takes you to the giant stone cross, it continues to rain.
- 4. At the stairs past the lonely old lady, there is a point on the stairs where you can no longer go back up (not sure if that's a glitch).
- 5. When you enter the snowy mountain-top area, if you use the warp to go back, the snow continues to fall.


Also,
> I've been replaying the Silent Hill franchise lately, and i think it shows in how the latest places look, hah.
You weren't kidding. lol

I like what you've done with the menus and text boxes by the way. I think it looks nicer, or something to that effect.

As always, you're really helpful. I fixed the stuff mentioned. That stair have given me some frustration though, since it bugs out for no apparent reason. I fixed it by haxxing it though, i'm just that cool.

Expect more of that Silent Hill look later, i've kinda grown to like it. Also the game is gonna get darker at the end so it fits like a glove on the hand.

I'm impressed you've played through this every new version and haven't got bored with it yet.

No use for the bottle yet.

I feel that you add enough new stuff that makes taking the journey again worthwhile; plus, I just like the way all of the places look and feel, and the music always seems to be to my liking (and also adds to the feeling/atmosphere) of the areas).

You do need patience and guts to get through that building in front of the stone cross (a crypt?) though; that place gives me a feeling of terror, every time.

Firstly, the game is still in development. I've actually been working on it quite a bit. I don't know when the next update will be, but… it's coming.
