A little project I'm working on for fun.

Hey guys

So, since I've finished studying I have a lot of spare time on my hands. I decided to fire up an old game-making program I used to play around on as a kid, RPG Maker 2000, and one of my projects ended up turning into a Resident Evil game.
So for now, I'm making this game for fun in my spare time and I thought I'd just share some screens of what I'm working on

This is all still a work in progress, but I'm determined to finish it. (I have a story laid out.) I should say, all the graphics belong to other people (I'm not much of an artist) but since I'm really just making this for something to do I don't think it matters too much. I don't plan on profiting or anything. I do actually have a functional demo, but I haven't hosted it anywhere. If enough people want to try it out I can get it uploaded somewhere and share the link. For now, I just didn't want all my time wasted by me being the only one to see what I'm doing, so I thought I'd just share with you guys what I've done

Looks nice.What's the story?

Sweet. Once it's finished I might LP it. Or, I could LP the demo, I play a lot of demos on my channel.

I'd also like to know.

that looks very good
tell the story

That's tight.

Pretty sweet.

A friend and I tried to do something like that a long time ago, using RPG maker as well lol.

We had created some sprites for some of the characters and everything.

Damn! I gotta admit, those screenshots look pretty damned impressive. I'm really intruigued now. I, for one, would love to try the demo. We don't have enough RE fan projects out there. Seriously. Why not release footage of it on YouTube? That would certainly go down a storm.

Good job Tyrant! Looks very cool.

If you make it for Mac, I could test it out for you if you want.

That looks really cool! The concept of a RE RPG really interests me. When a playable form of it emerges I will be sure to play it.

Such goodness, I must acquire. <3 Everything about this is gold.

Tyrant? This is being made by GTMippey.

You do realize that that was just a quote, right? Not my creation. It's GTMippey's.

Appreciate all the positive feedback so far Apologies for the inactivity, life and all that.
Although I've slowed down, I'm still coming back to this every now and then

A little bit more on this;

I'm trying to capture the spirit of the older-era RE games (Namely 1-3) through the environment, atmosphere, locations, enemies etc. With the story, I'm writing it in a way that it could seem canon to the RE Universe, using correct dates that correspond with certain events etc.

As I said, I appreciate the positive feedback so I will upload a small demo to somewhere in a couple of weeks and post the link, it's nothing too special, should only take about 5-10 minutes to complete.

RPG + RE?? Hell yes

Thanks for the offer , although I probably won't need to do any graphical work at all, I'm just using artwork from RE2-3 for the enemy sprites and existing RM2k sprites for the characters. Not very original, but as I said, I'm just kind of doing this for fun
Appreciate the offer though!

Just a small update to let you guys know, the project is still running smoothly

I've decided to expand the demo area to show off a little bit more. I'll have to wait until the 1st to upload anything, as...I've kind of capped my internet for the month , so I'll use the time to put a little more in for you guys to see. Originally, I was only going to have the opening area (apartment building) in the demo, but now I'm expanding beyond that. So there will be a longer demo in return for the wait

Of course, if it's ok with the forum mods, I'll post a more official thread when the time comes with info, screens, maybe trailers if my video editing skills are up to the task

Great. Can I just ask what the sound effects and music will be like? Are they gonna be taken from an old-school RE title, or are they gonna be RE: Gaiden style? Just curious.

The music and sound effects are mostly from RE 1-3

I have no objections. I'll even play it on video if you don't mind.

Awesome! And yeah, that's absolutely fine by me!

How's the game coming along?

Is RPG Maker free? I wanna give it a go to see if I can also make a game similar to this one. Your game is looking nice so far!

Google? I guess the older versions might be.
