Since all the cool kids are posting dev-logs, I might as well get down to it as well.
Sadly, I don't have as much time as i'd like to develop something like what I want to, since i'm starting college back up today, but I can probably get a little demo out by the end of this thing so I figured i'd take part in this. Neru is an RPG, currently being developed in RPGmaker 2003. If I had to say it was like anything, i'd probably have to say Space Funeral. I'm not good at art stuff, so it'll look real rough, but I don't really mind, as that's kind of the point. It's not supposed to look pretty.
Plot Synopsis
You are Gared. You are worthless.
Like your father, and his father before him, and his father before him, and his father before him, and his father before him, you have spent your whole life being worthless. You are the most adept at being worthless in all the land. You won an award once. You like to keep it on your counter to remind you of how amazing you are at being worthless.
You are a Humon. Humon are a rare species indeed, being the clearest link to the ancient race of Humans, from whom all creatures of the land are ugly bastardizations of. Long ago, the world changed. Humans ceased to exist, and the monsters that roam the land now took their place. Nobody knows for sure what happened, and nobody really cares at this point.
You don't feel like being worthless anymore. You decide to do something. Your mother wasn't very happy about that decision, but her opinion is worthless, so you don't take it any heed. You leave your home and look for something to give you worth.
Gameplay/Visuals
Nothing special, honestly. Simple RPG stuff. The game is just supposed to be a silly/creepy mix that just uses creepy visuals in a silly manner. Basically, don't expect nothing serious. It's not supposed to make sense, and i'm just gonna have fun with it.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 1
I created the basic stupid concept behind the game, and created some basic placeholder graphics/test maps in RPG Maker to get my feet wet again with using it. I have class tomorrow, so I tried to bang out as much as I could today to make up for the lack of time i'll have tomorrow and presumably the rest of the week. Have this screenshot of the test map. None of the graphics are final, and most were made in 2 minutes to test different effects on.
