Jacobliterator Posted August 18, 2015 Author Posted August 18, 2015 Ahh, so that explains why I couldn't have Honchkrow in my battling team. At least it's good to know that I can at least have my Honchkrow as my pet Pokemon. As for the themes, the Don theme fits for my overworld theme, yes. And for the DK one? Definitely for the hideout. It has that industrial appeal that Team Ultima strives for, while giving it that dramatic edge. Also, I do have an idea for how Team Ultima can reach its goal while causing more havoc. The machine Imperius is going to use is a huge weapon, right? Well, what if there were smaller machines to help reach that cause quicker, distracting the heroes while Team Ultima searches for Cresselia and Darkrai to power the Ultimate Machine? Remember how in Reborn there are PULSE machines, and in Rejuvenation, there are Dimensional Rifts? For the name Ultima, I like to think that the name means Ultimate Power or something like that. So, I'm thinking of calling these new machines the SUPREME machines. SUPREME would stand for Super Ultimate Pokemon Rehabilitation Engaging Mega Evolution. PULSE machines and Dimensional Rifts are like Mega Evolution, right? Well, SUPREME machines are pretty much self explanatory. They would create super ultimate Pokemon that are engaged in rehabilitation that causes a Mega Evolution that is similar to what PULSE and Dimensional Rifts do. For example, a SUPREME-Abomasnow could create devastating blizzards that could freeze an entire town, and a SUPREME-Malamar could brainwash an entire city! These could also probably contain Legendaries, too. For example, a SUPREME-Heatran could create a series of magma pools, or build a useful volcano hideout. Maybe more could be useful, but Heatran was the first I thought of. (Slaps own forehead) Of course! Why didn't I think of that? Very nice suggestion! Quote
Tringus Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 When I first thought of the name SUPREME for the machines, I actually had a mental image in my head of either one of the grunts or one of the admins saying "Stop in the name of love!" when the main character gets closer to the SUPREME. If it was a grunt, the defeat quote could be "Before you break my heart..." That quote was inspired because of an old song called "Stop! In The Name Of Love" by The Supremes. Quote

I think I remember that song despite being only 17. Quote
Tringus Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 That''s okay, I only knew about the song when I was like, 14. XD Quote
Solarance Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Very clever. I think I remember that song despite being only 17. Hell, I knew about the song when I was six, and my mom still blasts it today. EDIT: Grammar is my "friend" Edited August 19, 2015 by Jamaka2001 Quote
Jacobliterator Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 It won't be the only music reference in the game. Meteor Grunt Nestor Opening quote-"What is love? Baby don't hurt me." Closing quote-"Don't hurt me.....no more" Quote
Tringus Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Hmm... How's progress been with the game so far? Like sprites, the story, etc. Quote
Jacobliterator Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 Hmm... How's progress been with the game so far? Like sprites, the story, etc. Sprites, going well. Story, going well. Gameplay..........erm.............not so much. To compensate, I've just started learning to use RPG Maker to speed up the process. Quote

We can be help buddies and help each other out. Quote

We can be help buddies and help each other out. That would be cool, because I should restate that 'just started learning' is actually 'downloading as we speak'. Quote
Solarance Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Lol, I'll help you out some tomorrow if you need it. (I'm sure you will.) Quote
Jacobliterator Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 Good to hear, although I'm feeling a bit guilty because 90% of assistance on this game has been from you, Omega and Trevo. Quote
Tringus Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I tried working with RPG Maker, but I could never get it working with Essentials. Maybe if I watched a few tutorials, I could learn how to do it, too. Spriting, on the other hand... I wouldn't know where to start. :\ Making a good story, though... That, is my area of expertise. Speaking of which, I have an idea as to how we can get more people involved with the game. Are Ultima grunts just going to be named, or not, like the main Pokemon games? Because if they are named, maybe we could get more trainers to be a part of the game. Quote
Jacobliterator Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 The version I got was RPG Maker VX Ace Lite. Is that an ok version? Quote
Solarance Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I tried working with RPG Maker, but I could never get it working with Essentials.

I'd watch Atomic Reactor's, that's what got me started. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFTYCUM5jKy6_NxegN-cHBfL2UPF-ZRBl You'll have to scroll through his channel for more episodes after 18, he hasn't updated the playlist yet.

Solarance Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 The version I got was RPG Maker VX Ace Lite. Is that an ok version? Sorry for double post, but NO NO NO NO NO and NO. There is only a beta for the VX Ace program, you have to use RPGMakerXP and I would buy the whole program, it doesn't cost much. You only get a 30 day free trial. Quote
pbood2 Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I can tell you Jacob that most fangames are based off essentials which comes with RPG Maker XP so you can use VX but i think it's harder tbh. Also, I'm actually trying to learn how to sprite so i can help someone out if I can become decent with their project. How did you and Axxel learn because I'm interested in learning spriting. Why I ask is because I'm someone who needs a teacher to be good at something lol. Sorry to bother you though. Quote

Why I ask is because I'm someone who needs a teacher to be good at something lol. Sorry to bother you though. Ok. But as for your question, Axxel's had over 3 years of self-teaching and experience. He's become a bit of a pro without being taught by anyone. As for me well, I really just messed around a bit for the past month or two and used opinions of others to see what I was doing wrong. I'd be willing to teach, but I know only basic techniques. Axxel's vastly and I mean VASTLY more experienced, but is very busy at the moment. Quote
Tringus Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 There are ways to get RPGMaker XP and VX for free, though, but it's kinda tricky to do so. Honestly, I forget how much it costs. :\ Quote
Jacobliterator Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 Axxel has it, I'll see if he can give me a copy. Quote
pbood2 Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Oh really wow 3 years?! that's a long time. Dang lol. I would ask you perhaps to teach me basic techniques so at least I have a basic knowledge and can expand afterwards but I know you are probably busy with Arcane and helping Jamaka sometimes with stuff too so I won't actually ask unless you're okay with helping me. Have a great day though. Quote
Omega_Ra1der Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 While I don't know how to work with the rpg maker, I can help refine some of the teams since I have like two weeks of my summer left. My team is a good example on how it is powerful. It can even go on to doubles with some changes. Quote
Developers Caz Posted August 19, 2015 Developers Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) I'm pretty experienced with RPG Maker XP now so if you have any questions on how to make a specific event, or just general help, I'd be glad to lend a hand! Edited August 19, 2015 by Chivalry Quote
Tringus Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I've been learning RPG Maker VX Ace for a while now, so once I binge watch Atomic Reactor's videos, maybe what I've learned in VX Ace could apply to XP, and I can help you out with some things. Quote
Jacobliterator Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 Thanks to all for your offers of help and I might take some of you up on it sometime soon. And pbood, I'd be happy to do that. Perhaps send me something you've done yourself and I can tell you where you could improve things. Quote
