  1. Everyone should take a break from Bug fixing tomorrow and watch the Nintendo Direct. That is, assuming you guys aren't done by today.
  2. We're paying you more than a few gil for this version, you'd best be worth it.
  3. Day after tomorrow is the Nintendo Direct.

     

     

    It looks as if they are dedicating everything to Smash Bros.

     

     

    So, will Simon Belmont make it in?

      If not Simon at least Alucard (I think he is a character that started in Castlevania and got popular as the son of Dracula from there on?) or Maybe Soma Cruz (Cuz while Dracula would be cool, he didn't originate from the games but from a novel, and smash should stay at least game exclusive, but Considering Soma is the reincarnation of Dracula with more powers than Link, Mario and probably Samus combined (just let that sink in real quick. that's a LOT of powers) there is a lot of possibilities there), or Shanoa

  4. I'm guessing that you're gonna have to upload anywhere from 600 to 800 Megabytes of data, maybe less if you compress the audio files. I am aware that relative to the size of a normal fangame, this is a huge estimation gap.
  5. A Skilled Pichu can beat any Ridley.

  6. Still a better story than Justice League 2018
  7. This means that we are... disturbingly close to the community release. Or not.
  8. I’d give anything for a 3D Sonic game with Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) styled gameplay, but done properly.

     

     

    Maybe fill it to the brim with those beautiful CGI Cutscenes and a Story that’s simple, fun, and does Justice to Sonic, Shadow, Silver, Tails, Knuckles, and all the other characters.

      and keep Final Fantasy character out of it

      Honestly Sonic 06 had the potential to be a good game if it wasn't for all of the glitches. Great music, lot of different characters used, potential for interesting stage design. I would be all for it. 

  9. But Extrasensory isn't as powerful as Psychic, and Noivern has better Special Attack than Greninja. And Noivern is easier to obtain. Edit: I made a mistake. Greninja has the better special attack. But Psychic is still a better attack. Extrasensory only has a flinch chance.
  10. 1887 bugs remaining. I might be celebrating too early, but good job folks! You made it through the testing period. Here are two different victory themes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6X3WypKJIQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YCN-a0NsNk
  11. Why are we here, just to suffer. Day before Yesterday was Ame's birthday. Tomorrow is actually Masahiro Sakurai's birthday.
  12. I hate Life is Strange.

     

    I hate the Story and I hate the characters.

     

    The Dialogue makes George Lucas look good at writing dialogue in comparison.

     

    I know, you don't necessarily have to have a great narrative in order to have a great game, but with a game type like this... I think you actually have to focus on the narrative, as that is what the game is mostly about. When you focus on narrative, and fail horrendously, It really hurts in these types of games.

     

    If I ever direct and write a video game that's heavily narrative focused, then at least I know what not to do. But It will probably be action-Adventure anyway, with third person shooting mechanics and impractical overly flashy swordplay.

      Why do you hate it?

      I believe I just explained it, but I guess i need to go into more detail.

       

      Chloe is in general a character I hate so much. Maxine is a weak protagonist with no structure or depth.

       

      The characters are all stereotypes. It would be enjoyable if this was a parody and the stereotypes were used for comedy, but apparently they are 100% serious about this. This makes me feel worse.

       

      The Hipster theme that this game gives off makes me feel... horrible. It's an unrealistic depiction of high school, and as someone who just got out of high school, I hate it. It's unrelatable, and It's insulting.

       

      A personal gripe that I have is that for some reason, Max is the only one with special powers. In order to make a narrative like this interesting, for me personally, you have to give some other characters a special power or something, so that they have the ability to stand up to the main character, or work alongside the MC as an equal.

       

      And, of course, the dialogue. This was probably written by a bunch of 40 year olds who thought they knew how teenagers talk. It's not the worst part of the game: That award goes to all of the characters. But It's a major criticism, and I completely understand why.

      Oh, ok. Well, I liked it.

  13. Would it be bad if I compared Taka to a Soldier committing mass murder because his superiors said so?
  14. If you took the path, then he's dead. I know he's a fan favorite, but he's dead. As dead as Jetstream Sam and Aerith/Aeris/Whatever. It would be cool if he did like Sam and posthumously passed on a tool or weapon to the MC that's essential to anyone trying to fight Lin. It is tragic, however, that his death was the result of Titania being way too trigger happy. I don't think that Titania and the MC can be considered "Friends" after this. Then again, We "Managed to avoid Drowning" because of her.
  15. Haha, I guess you're right. But Still, 2/3rds of the way done. It seems like January 1st, 2018 was only a few weeks ago. This reminds me of that awful "Shrek in Super Smash Bros" meme. But I really hope you are wrong about the Community release taking longer than expected. You probably aren't TBH.
  16. I'd also like to say that when the Beta Testing check occurs, It will mark the 2/3rd point of the year 2018. This year was quick.
  17. I think he was Joking, but whatever. First Check is tomorrow. It may not mark the community release, but it means we are getting closer.
  18. AI Programming requires a lot of code, from what I have seen. I didn't even think about AI when i tried making my failed project. I always used the default.
  19. I remember Nullmetal Alchemist. I liked it as a teenager. But Watching it again as an adult, I get a lot more of the jokes and the videos seem a lot more entertaining now. Too bad we won't get an episode 13.

     

     

    "Honestly, Just tell one group it's a sin to eat on a Sunday, then tell the other it's all you can eat kebab day. And just like that, Instant Chaos!". The sad thing is that it's kind true. It was truer in past medieval times, but it's still true today.

     

    The Abridged Series is more faithful to the messages of the original than the Live action movie. Just think about that for a moment.

  20. A fair point. I've done both routes. I always saw Taka more as Jetstream Sam, rather than Aerith. After All, It's one of the people who's supposed to be on our side doing the killing. And He's officially the enemy, despite subtly helping us through all of our Meteor encounters.
  21. Some people say we need more Robots in Smash Bros.

     

     

    But we've got both Daisy and Ridley, what more could you want?

    1. Wolfox

      Wolfox

      what we kinda need is one more Metroidvania rep. Someone from the Vania side. maybe the Grandfather of the Genre... perhaps someone wielding a Whip?

  22. Do you think that Victoria will be this games Gamora/Aerith?
  23. I tried to play Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.

     

    As someone whose first RPG was Pokemon Red, I can say that Mystic Quest is not a good way to introduce people to turn based RPGs. Pokemon Red may be glitchy and broken by today's standards, but it still does the job of being an introduction to RPGs well. It's simple, and kids will get it, but the depth is there if you really care about it.

     

    I think turn-based RPGs are an acquired taste, and not everyone is going to have as much fun as me in scrolling through a menu and choosing attacks. Mystic Quest is not a good way to gain that acquired taste.

     

    Pokemon Red led the way for bigger things, Like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasies 1-10 (But especially 7, since I played that one as a child on a PS2, and it remains my favorite). I don't think anyone would be interested in turn-based RPGs after playing Mystic Quest. And that's a shame.

      Your first mistake was playing Mystic Quest, one of the worst RPGs of all time.

      Ye Mystic Quest was... bad and really just made to sorta of "pander" at the Western Market cause at the time Japan more or less was like 'Aw... they suck at video games. Let's give them this so they can try." cause if l recall Mystic Quest wasn't even released in Japan. ~~might be thinking of a different JRPG but l'm pretty sure it was Mystic Quest.~~

      About the only time l've seen someone willingly play Mystic Quest... is for Speedrunning LOL

      @Hukuna the Undying I just played it so that I could see  "The most insulting JRPG ever created" for myself.

       

      Apparently, the original game came with a strategy guide, because Japan thought that lowly of us.

  24. Don't let her be Aizen. Aizen was an amazing villain who was wasted. Lin is Sephiroth. And our player character is infected with JENOVA Cells that Lin is going to use to manipulate us into giving her all four gems: An Emerald Brooch, Sapphire Bracelets, Ruby Ring, and Amethyst pendant. This is Just like Final Fantasy. In fact, the beginning of the game is a bit like Final Fantasy VII's opening sequence. You get off a train, battle a few noobs, and then Blow up an evil factory that's harmful for the environment.
